The First Brooches.

Outlines my thoughts will wander back
To chIldhood's rosy hours,
When, like a wanton butterfly,
only saw life's flowers.
With JOY think Of each loved spot,
The brooks, the fields, and ditches;
But dearer far than all of these
Is the day first wore breeches.
IT'S true I've slipped lifes pleasures since,
Am blessed with worldly riches,
But JOY so sweet I've never felt
Like that Of my first breeches.
What tales those brooches oft could tell,
OF rent, and patch and stitches.
OF fen,e anu tree from which hung
Suspended by those breeches.
How well their ample seat was stuffed
To break the masters witches,
Or soften blows nv mother gave,
With slipper on those breeches..
Not AL the gems of SolomoE's mines,
Or wealth in Araby which is,
Could half compare with the treasures rare
In the pockets of those brooches.
That garn ent would fain have kept.
Though full of holes and stitches,
But years ago my mother made
Rag carl ct OF those breeChes.

"When | sit at my desk in Sitka,"

from Attn Island, the westermost point
in Alaska than | was from Portland,
Me. This may serve to give some
idea OF the prodigious distance in

1t is. indeed, an almost bound less
empire that Mr. Swineford had ceased
TO govern ana that Fred A. Maynard
has lost. Few people appreciate the
colossal size OF the Alaska dominion
Of the United States Even prominent
pubic men are apt to regard IL as a
little fringe OF the frozen zone quite
unworthy of their attention. William
=. Holman once had this idea OF
Alaska A couple of years ago, when
Gov. Swineford was urging the House
committee on Territories TO report
favorably on a bill to give Alaska
something more than semblance of
Territorial government, Mr.. Holman
said:
We'll, governor, my idea is that
Alaska ought to be made county OF
Washington Territory That would
be the simplest way 10 dispose OF the

There are distinct signs of deteriora-

These may not be perceptibe to the

ceedingly potent to the unprejudiced
observer. Such deterioration may
proceed from laxity OF discipline at

desire which many parents enter tain

the liberty permitted them out of

Grass-fed cattle are much cleaner

There is no disputing the fact that all

by anyone who thinks differently.
Persons exposed to summer heats
and obliged to exercise in the sun

TO promote perspiration. Excessive
drinking of ice water will not do this,

Developments in the Cronln
1ragedV.

The evidence before the coroner
jury now sitting at Chicago is becom-
ing the more interesting as it reveals
where Alexander Sullivan placed 800
600 OF the Irish League money while
he was president of the order in
Chicago. 1t appears that in May,
1882, Sullivan placed in the now de-
funct Traders Bank, Of Chicago, $780,
OO0-Sl0,000 to his personal account
and 500, 900 to that OF Alexander
Sullivan agent which was UNDER
derstood to be the League money.
From June unit! September Alexander
Sullivan checked out $4,000 of the
league money, and the checks, whic h
are fortunately preserved, prove by
the Endorsements tina. this large sum
of money was paid TO j. L. Lester d
Co.. brokers on the Chicago Board OF
trade.
As Mr.. Sullivan is alleged TO have
speculated largely in wheat, these
checks would be regarded by any jury
or any court as strong presumptive
evidence that he was so specializing.
The Board OF Trade has sucked in
millions OF honest peoples money, as
the checks too frequently prove. The
Clan-na-Gael got wind that there had
been some misrepresentation Of the
Irish funds. They appointed COM

Cabbage After Early Potatoes.

To get good crop of cabbage after
early potatoes, it is only necessary to
have good strong healthy plants to
commence with. To obtain such, SOW
the seed in drills, not less than one
foot apart, and thinly in the row, the
last week in May or the first week in
June. One ounce OF seed will produce
1000 plants, and if cultivated on good
soil will produce the best plants in
thirty days or by July first After
digging, the potato patch should be
freshly plowed, and the soil thor
oughly pulverized. Ny plan is then
to open burrows four feet apart and
apply five hundred pounds OF some
good fertilizer per acre in these rows,
covering with corn cover, and set
the plants three feet apart on these
ridges. Cover them deeply, even if
the leaves are purity covered. Should
the soil be dry or dry spell be likely

Farm Notes

BY experiments it has been found
that clover fed with corn makes a
gain OF thirty to forty per cent greater
than corn ration alone.
Farmers in the United States who
wish TO breed and bring out good sad
die horses, should ride daily, or have
sons who can constantly ride.
Pigs that have the run OF clover
fields, with slops made from bran and
shipstuff, will not reach the weight oil

Training Iieifers,

The term breaking "a applied TO
the domestic animals has an unpleas-
ant Specification. 1t indicates bad
management forcibly remedied. A calf
or colt should be trained from its
birth, and il should be gradually led
in the way it should go-the word
educated has precisely this meaning
by constant progressive course of
kind and considerate treatment. A
heifer calf should be weaned at its
birth. IL its natural instructive pro-
clivities are to be repressed and OBJ
liberated, this is the time TO begin.
before the germs of these have had
opportunity to grow into a habit.
Hence the calf should not be permitted
TO suck the dam and should be taught
TO drink from "A pail. Have leather
collar strong enough to hold it, with u
ring sewn in it, aud "a rope with "A snap
hook attached TO tie it with in
the pen. Then it should be handled
(brushed is better) quite frequently.
until it Is used TO it and makes no re-
sistancc but rather likes it. As it
grows older its udder and teats should
be rubbed and pulled as if in milking.
This not only makes il docile, but it
helps the development of the udder
and increases its future capacity. \
heifer may be brought to milk in this
way before it has "a calf, and instances
OF this tactical precocity are not in
frequent in dairies where calves arc
permitted to suck each other, although
this is a great mistake and is provoca-
tive of vicious habits, such as self
sucking and sucking other cows. When
the heller has ca,f it is already
trained, ana breaking, with the
discipline Of club, boot, or a milk
ing stool, will not be required.
