Police Court Preceding,

In the Police Court yesterday James Jor-
dan, whose familiar face had adorned the
dock the day previous on charge of
drunkenness, was again in on the same
charge. He said he thought the officer who
arrested bim had made mistake in regard
to his condition, and he did not believe he
was intoxicated. He was allowed to go,
upon promise of going to work on house
near Brighton.
James Woods and A. Conrade were also
charged with being drunk. but it being
their first offense they were discharged.
B. Parnell was convicted of disturbing
the peace of colored woman.
Jack Kennedy, charged with disturbing
the peace was adjudged not guilty. The
charge arose from quarrel between him
and State Gardener Medium, the latter re-
monstrating with Kennedy about letting
his dogs run amuck in the Capitol grounds.
The Judge thought it a case almost too
trihing to be brought into Court.
Edward Roy and Jack Leonard, charged
with robbery, had their examination set for
to-day.

SENATORIAL BUTTER.

son-in-law, Hon. Chester Pike, and a
number of business men of Windsor
have just built a creamery in Cornish,
n. H., to be known as the hillside
Creamery" They have secured the
services of Mr.. Waterhouse of Nor
witch, VT, for superintendent. Mr..
Waterhouse is president of the New
England Dairymen's association,
and took the gold medal for the best
butter at the New York dairy exhibit
two years ago.
The senator takes a great interest
in his new project, and will dispose
of a good share of the product among
his New York friends. The building
is on his farm, just across the Con
necticut river from Windsor, and he
leases the land to the company for
one cent year as long as it is used
for the manufacture of butter.

sired by buffalo bulls and are out of
common Indian cows.
As might be expected, the three
quarter bloods more nearly resemble
the buffalo. The hump is much more
pronounced, the head and horns
more buffalo-like, while the coat is
much longer than that of the halt
breeds and more wavy. Animals of
this breed attain a great size. A
young three-quarter breed bull, past
three years old, pulled down the
scales at 2,4OO pounds when grass
in the autumn Owing, however,
to the lack of symmetry, due to the
hump, they do not SO much impress
the cattle man. They produce a robe,
however, which in beauty and even
ness is superior to that of the buffalo.
The buffalo's coat in winter on the
hump, upper sides and back is curly
and matted, and soon bleaches out
to faded tan color, while the coat
of these three-quarter bloods is even
throughout, having little or no curl
anywhere, and is but little lighter on
on the back than on the belly. 1t is
everywhere a beautiful rich brown,
and is as heavy as any buffalo robe.
The robe of the halfbreed is even
in length on all parts of the body and
is without curl, more like a heavy
bear skin than anything else For

4 NEW BREED OF CATTLE.

Besides the pure buffalo, of which
Mr.. ZONES, of Kansas, has nearly 100,
he has a number of the crossbred
stock, and it is these which to the
breeder of cattle are by far the most
interesting. Among these last are
four half-bred COWS These COWS are
all alike in size, and convey the i'm
preston of more bulk than large
work oxen When seen in March
they were rather thin in flesh and
were shedding their coats, so they
did not appear to advantage. They
were estimated to weigh about 400
pounds. Mr.. Jones expressed the
opinion that he could fatten one of

Lord Lonsdale,s Blunder.

All the way around from England
we get the information that Lord
Lonsdale, in his journey toward the
north pole, came upon a nation of Es-
quimaux, the Caribou and Moon River
tribe; and that they are all over six
feet tall, and have way of decorating
themselves with a cash in the cheek
for every enemy killed. This is pure
nonsense; for no Esquimaux tribe av-
erages feet inches, and none Of
them are given to killing or to tattoo
ing. The Esquimaux do not go to
war, rarely l'ill person, and are
harmless except in the way of theft.
They arc relics of the old cave dwell
ers of ante-historic periods. and never
are known as warriors. War is de-

The woman who had driven around
the corner was coming back. Only
her hands were visible at the side of
the buggy, but they reached to the
dash board, and sawed the reins in a
manner that made the horse take both
sides of the road at once. She drew
up to the curbstone with flourish.
Guess she knows you," said the
man who had last spoken.
Yes. It's my wife" said the
other sheepishly as he stepped into

young artist for a while, and then,
touching him on the shoulder, ven

the other points of the sketch were not
exactly what they should be. The ar
tist simply replied by incuiring:

gentleman persisted in kindly and per-

convinced that, after all, the criticism
was just-indeed, the gentleman had
himself taken the drawing block and

Work.

The ono sovereign remedy for tho
ills of life is work-work from neces-
sity, or work from choice. The man
or woman compelled to work every
day, either with hands or head, es-
capes many of the morbid worries and
anxieties that beset the man or woman
left free to follow out morbid musings
on the vanity of human affairs, or
melancholy analysis of physical all
ments which are often the result Of
lack of constant or definite occupation.
No greater misfortune can befall
either man or woman than to be born
into this world without the pressing
force of work, p1shing him on to
steady endeavor.-Detroit Free Press.

Birds to the soft downy nest;
The sun hides his head
In the dark oceans bed,
And thou on the heart that loves best
The lambs on the void
Are seeking the fold
As shadows grow somber and Syruy;
While the firehy's spark
Cleans In the dark
To show thee to dreamland the way.
Sweet flowers are sleeping.
Pale mists are creeping
Over the mead, up the hill,
In shadowy hooks,
By the ripping brooks,
Whose waters lie quiet and still.
Through the clouds silv'ry lace
The moons gentle face
Bends with tender good night;
Then whisper thy prayer
On the calm. solemn air,
And slumber till morning Is bright.
May the stars as they shine
On this jewel of mine
Not find thee, my darling. awake,
But smile o'er thy sleeping.
With fond angels keeping
Watch for the Holy Ones sake.
