FREIGHT EXPRESS FOR FARMERS.

A writer in the Montpelier (Vt
Waterman urges the establishment
of sort of freight express, to take
small shipments of farm produce at
moderate rates from stations in Yer
mont to the industrial centres of
southern New England. He says
that many residents of these cities
desire to get their supplies of farm
products fresh from producers with
whom they are personally acquaint-
ed, and he believes that such a svs-
tenn would ultimately develOpa large
and profitable business for the rail-
roads engaging in it, while it would
save the succession of commissions
coming out of the price of the pro-
ducts at the farm, which in many
cases make all the difference between
a good profit and serious loss for the
farmers. This is an excellent sug-
gestion, and there does not seem to
be any reason why it should be inn
practicable. Many people in this
city get butter, eggs, vegetables, and
other farm supplies from the interior
of this state or from the western pOr-
ton of New England, despite the ex
pense and difficulties which now at
tend such transactions; and this
traffic might be greatly increased if
arrangements were made which
would diminish the cost and the
trouble, to the equal advantage of
farmers in the country and house
keepers in the cities New York

BUFFALOEs ON THE CARS.

| On the 18th ultimO half of the herd
was driven across the prairies, to be
shipped to their new home; the bal
ance, numbering about fifty, it is un-
derstood, will not leave before March
next. The buffalo themselves had a
strong aversion to leaving their old
homestead; and considerable diff
Guilty was experienced in getting
them aboard the cars, two days be-
ing spent in the effort, hundreds of
citizens witnessing the exciting scenes
attending this dangerous job. Half
a dozen expert hOrsemen, besides a
number of cattle drivers who had
loaded hundreds of wild Western cat
tie, found they had a difficult task
before them when endeavoring to
load buffalo; however, by a strategic
movement, they were eventually got
into the pens of the cattle yards of
the Canadian Pacific railway COM
pany. How to get them to walk the
gangway was q still more serious
matter The Infatuated and mad
dened beasts, when they found them
selves Gagged, commenced to have
little "circus'' on their own account.
Some terrible combats took place be-
tween them, and, when the enormous
size and strength of the animals is
considered, one can conjecture how
high one of the Younger ones would
be thrown in the air when caught on
the horns of one of these mighty bulls.
Every conceivable effort was made,
but to no purpose, in endeavOring to
get them in the cars; prods with
sharp-pOinted forks, lashes that
would almost cut sheep in two,
seemed to be appreciated as tickle
in the ribs, or a gentle caress.
Eventually, q tremendous old bull
undertook to be master of ceremonies,
and succeeded, after every effort of
man had failed. There was nothing
new in the manner he did it, he only
did what buffalOes have done from
time immemOrial, when working up
a stampede. He got behind the herd,
and began making it exceedingly live
~ for those ahead, prodding, below
ing at them, and driving the lag
CARDS forward with vigorous digs of
his horns in their launches. They
had to travel, and having no other
place to go, they passed over the
gangway, and into the cars. When
the big pusher" Gas the crowd dub
bed HIM had driven them all in, and
reached the door himself, he seemed
to be astonished This was the most
extraordinary stampede he had ever
engineered. Tossing his head scorn-
fully, he wheeled about and ran back
into the pen; he next accomplished
the feat of jumping a 10 foot fence,
and seeming to like it, bounded from
one pen to another, clearing or
smashing everything in his way, I'M
til he reached the board fence which
bounds the west side of the yards
This paling is II feet high, but he
jumped at it, struck near the top,
went through with crash, and
steered for home, a much agitated

| Beware of dogs. So wrote Paul
and Timothy to the Philippians IS
centuries ago, and it would probably
be better for the world if this advice
was needed now Few persons, save
those who have carefully examined
| the subject, are aware of the wear
and tear, the damage and waste, the
loss and cost to individuals and fam
lilies by the useless luxury of dogs.
The social economist, looking at the
highest good of his fellow-men, NAV
wisely ponder this subject, for dogs
are on the increase, and some further
legislative restriction seems neces-
sary to prev ent their multiplication.
According to the latest records, 1856
dogs were licensed in Hampden coun
ty last year. The damages caused
by these dogs which were paid by the
county the past year, foot up $2141.
But this is not all.
The cost of boarding all these dogs
is no inconsiderableit item. They must
eat, and some of them have milk and
meat that would nourish the best
family The assertion that dogs con-
sumo more or less of the refuse of the
kitchen does not weaken the fact of
their cost. Take the dogs, big and
little, throughout the county, and it
is believed that their average cost
for board is not far from so cents a
week. This sum multiplied by the
licensed dogs makes their bare board
$232S week and $121 ,O56 a year.
The fact of the wide distribution of
this drain among people who do not
count the cost is the only reason for
its being bearable. Add now the
license fees, which come out of the
pockets of the owners of dogs, and
the animal drainis increased to $131,-
S72. Are the dogs of Hampden coun-
ty worth this huge expenditure Is
not a general curtailment of the race
Just behind their ears" the only
remedy? Think how much more
good this money would do if wisely
expended in charity upon the human
race. 1t would board 1868 children
for the county children's aid society
for a whole year, and it would more
than support both the public schools
and the library of this city for a year.

THE LITTLE HIGHCHAIR.

There was an auction at one of
the downtown auctiOn-houSeS re-
Gently \ pale, sad-faced woman, in
a plain calico gown, stood in a
crowd The lOud-vOiced auctiOneer
finally came to Il lot of plain and
somewhat worn furniture. 1t had
belonged to the pale woman and was
being sold to satisfy the mortgage
on it One by one the articles were
SOld-the old bureau to one, the easy
rocker to another and bedstead to
a third Finally the auctioneer
hauled out Il child's high-chair. 1t
was old and rickety, and as the auc-
tiOncer held it up everybody laughed
everybody excepting the pale-faced
woman. \ tear trickled down her
check The auctiOneer saw it, and
somehow a lump seemed to come up
in his throat, and his gruff voice
grew soft He remembered a little
high-chair at home and how it had
once filled his life with sunshine. 1t
was empty now. The baby laugh,
the two little hands that were once
held out to greet papa" from the
high-chair were gone forever. He
saw the pale-faced wOman'S piteous
looks and knew what it meant
knew that in her eve the little ricketv
hIgh-chaIr was more precious than if
it had been made of gold and studded
with diamonds. In imagination he
could see the little dimpled cherub
which it once held; could see the
chubby little fist grasping the tin
rattle-bOX and pounding the chair
full of nicks; could see the little feet
which had rubbed the paint off the
legs, could hear the growing and
laughing Ill glee-and now the little
hIgh-chair was empty. He knew
there was an aching void in the pale
faced woman's heart; there was in
his own. Somehow the dav NAV
come and go, but YOU never get over
it There Is no one to dress in the
morning, no one to put to bed at
night Don't Taught said the auc-
tioneer, softly, as somebody
facetiously Offered ten cents; many
of YOU have little empty high-chairs
at home which money would not
tempt YOU to part with" Then he
handed the clerk bill out of his own
pocket, and remarked: sold to the
lady over there" and as the pale
faced woman walked out. with the
little high-chair clasped in her arms
and tears streaming down her checks.
the crowd stood back respectfully.
and there was a suspicious moisture

ten cents Detroit Free Press.

WEDDING IN JAPAN.

The wedding of these fields is per
feet, and our cultivatOrs might take
a lesson from the laps. Numbers OF
women were crOuched between the
files of barley wedding by hand.
With the furrow system the cultiva-
tor is out of place; and, moreover,
handwork is the rule in this crowded
country, and i'll a days drive of 80
miles we only saw two horses.
Where animals were employed they
were bullOcks or wrctched little COWS,
which were Spayed in many cases.
All were Shod with sandals of rice
straw The wedding women were
attended by boys, who carefully
lugged the spoil out of the fields in
baskets or mats. Near the scattered
farrn-hOuSeS the weeds were spread
out to cure. They are utilized as
food for people and cattle, and for
bedding for the beasts, but mostly
for manure.
Along the rOadsides men were cut
ting grass and weeds with short,
curve-bladed knives. In one little
grove men and boys were wedding
by hand. sparing only the pretty and
harmless plants and shrubs. The
roadsides were permitted also to re-
tain some of the Towering weeds,
butter-cups, dandelions, chickweed,
and the like, but no mercy was shown
to any growth of pestilent prOpensi-
ties. There was some yellow dock
here and there, but we were surprised
at being informed that the laps had
not discovered the beauty of its leaves
for greens, although they do eat the
dandel1On to some extent.
In fact one might say that weed
farming was a genuine part of the
Japanese agricultural system, since
the entire crop was utilized in some
fashion, either for forage, food, bed
ding. beauty, mulching or manure.
Not a savage plant was allowed to
lead useless life, or to devote its en-
ergies to the undoing of the farmers
work Though the harmless and
pretty weeds were in some cases per
mitted to flourish in the road cutters
as we'll as the borders,-and this is
no ioke-in such cases they were
themselves sedulously weeded- 1t

HOW AN IDIOT SAVED THE TRAIN
A TRUE STORY.


written for the CALIFORNIAN.
About twenty years ago there lv-
ed in a small town in the lower part
of the Green Mountain state a boy
about Is years old. He was large
and strong, the son of a poor farmer,
and had always lived at home, not
because he did not possess the means
with which to go away, nor because
he was attached in any way to his
parental roof, but because he had the
terrible misfortune of being an idiot
from his birth. OF course under these
circumstances, it was his father s
and mothers constant endeavOr to
keep from him those things with
which he would endanger his own or
any other PERSONS safety. Their es-
pecIal anxiety was concerning his
finding matches or, unObserved by
them, wander out upon the railroad
track which was not far off. But in
spite of their vigilance one warm
morning in the early summer he
started out for a stroll. Guided by
some unknown hand, he came to the
railroad track, when, turning his
course, he struck off up the level bed
of the railway. Absorbed in his un
wOnted freedom he kept on his way
till he arrived at steep hill, around
which the road made sharp and
dangerous curve and from there ran
in straight line for nearly a mile.
When our friend arrived at this cut
what should he see but an immense
boulder, which having been loOsened
from the earth and rocks above by
the morning shower, came crashing
down the hill until it came to the
track where it stopped between the
rails. We shall never know what
thoughts came into this boys head
or what power, if any, enlightened
him, but we do know that when the
next train came laundering down
the straight line previous to entering
the cut, the engineer saw fire burn
ing on the track ahead, and instant
ly reversed his engine and stopped
the train. The conductor, engineer
and eager passengers got out, and
proceeded to the fire Their aston
ishment was great when they found
the boy guarding the fire and unable
to answer any questions as to what
it all meant. His vacant stare con-
veved no information and it was
not until one of the passengers walk
ed down the track that the great
boulder was seen. Then purse was
quickly taken among the thankful
passengers, and with that in his
pocket the boy went home.
Who was it that furnished him
with atches on that well-tO-bere-
membered day? Who was it that
told him to go around the curve to
build the fire, so that it might be
seen by the engineer i'll time to stop
his train? Who was it that inform
ed him from which direction the next
train was coming? We shall have
to accept the general belief which ex
lists among the passengers of that so
marvelOusly rescued train, that He
who leadeth our lives and directeth
the course of nations used this poor
boy to save many lives for years of
usefulness and service. Alb.
