The Governors Opinion.

A Rutland Herald man, presumably
high-license man, recently inter-
viewed Gov. Dillingham; at Water
bury on the subject of high-license
and received the following emphatic
reply:
81 want this town kept so that my
boy won't be constantly exposed to
temptation to drink. L want it kept
SO that a saloon will not stand on
every corner with an alluring invita-
ton to enter. L want it kept so that
it would be impossible for him to get
a drink even if he wanted it. | fail
to see the least reason why there
would be less drinking under license
law. In my opinion there would be
a great deal more. Drunkards are
made between the ages of IS and %,
when their characters are being form
ed for life. If we can keep them from
drinking during those years, the
chances are 1000 to l against their
ever becoming drunkards. What
shall we do to keep them from it !?
Shall we open elegantly appointed
saloons in every block and offer them
every inducement to drink, or shall
we keep the liquor traffic as close as
possible and prevent them by law
from obtaining liquor? No, sir; it is
your license laws, your legalized traf-
fc in liquor, that makes drunkards.
Prohibitory laws help to keep men
sober, yes, and keep men sober who
otherwise would not have the moral
character to abstain from drink .
1t is not surprising that Corporal
Tanner, in assuming charge of the
Pension Bureau, should find that it
was full of sinecures which could be
abolished. The late Pension Com

filling them, if he found them in his
bureau. 1t was stated by him in
one of his reports that fourteen
clerks were required to prepare the
daily pension lists of the bureau.

do it. The Corporal is really a

SCHOOLS IN TURKEY.
How BOYS and Girls Learn Lessons and
.'Treat All Around

Treat All Around"
Turkish boys and girls are of the
race which has given the alphabet and
the sciences of numbers, navigation
and astronomy to the world; but they
study only one book now and learn
only one science. They study the
Koran, from which they learn to read,
and the science of Mahomet's religion,
as soon as they can commit sentences
to memory, either by having it read to
them or by readingit to themselves.
They study aloud as hard as ever they
can. each beginning with different
sentence, rocking to and fro, "weav-
ing trouble" meantime. If they falter
in their shrill repetitions the masters
duty is first to admonish, and, if this
is unheeded. to spare not the rod.
There is a lull when the ''muezz ms"
call is heard at noon from the mosque
minaret near by, and then the master
and pupils, with faces turned toward
Mecca. drop to their knees and say
prayer.
When the priests call ceases and the
prayers are over, the voice of the art

sweets is known by all Turks, young
and old, to be the most delicious of
luxuries. and this the school children

Revival of an Old Trick.

''fm securing this country for good
horses" said a well-dressed man who
drove up to a Bucks County farmer the
other day. Have you any to sell?"
The farmer brought his best. big
sorrel with good eye and full of spirit.
The stranger knew horses, and, after a
deal of parleying, $3.50 was fixed as the
price. and he paid $40 to bind the bar
gain, promising to return in a week to
consummate the purchase. Two or
three days afterward another stranger
reached the farm.
Il want to find horse to match one
in my stables in New York" he said.
A look over the stable caused the
stranger to fix upon the sorrel. That's
just the horse" he said.
Another man has bargained for
him." replied the farmer. I'm give
you $780," added the visitor. Cant be
done" We'll, I'll come back in day
or so. and if you have not sold him l
will take him."
Next day the first visitor returned
and. after haggling a good deal, con-
sented to take $25 for his bargain. The
ia 'mer is still waiting for the man who
wants to match horse in New York.

Study Your Animal.

Now let us reason together. You
and we have been farmers all our
lives. We were born on farm. We
have seen animals from our earliest
infancy; we have seen how father
managed them, and we know how we
have managed them since we were old
enough to care for them. Now, how
much real hard study have we ever
known expended upon the training of
animals-expended in the direction of
making the colt or calf more valuable.
Many who read these lines may be
an exception, but is it not the fact
that the average man lets his animals
grow up about as thousands let weeds
grow in the fence corners? You and
we have known balky horses and XII ,k-
ing cows. Perhaps we have never
taken the trouble to inquire the cause
of this result in any particular in
stance. If we had ten chances to one
if we should not have found that it
was an ill-natured, inJudicious driver
who made the balky horse and kick
ing man who made the kicking COW.
Like Topsy, in Uncle Toms Cabin,
too many of onr animals just grow.
There is nothing that the average
farmer can do, that we can think of,
that would pay better profit than to
expend some hard study upon the
young animal, that he may learn it's
peculiarities. with the purpose of over
coming the Objectionable ones and
strengthening those that are desirable.
Animals differ just as people differ.
Much can be done to train out the OBJ
jectionable features of child's nature,
and the same is true with the young
animal. 1t is in the early days of ex-
istence, whether it is human being
or an animal, that the deepest impress
sions can be made. The calf
can be greatly aided to develop
into a decent cow if we are willing
to spend the time in aiding it.
From the very beginning we should
seek to win the perfect confidence of
the animal. We should seek to i'm
press upon it the fact that we are its
friend, and if we do that we shall
practice one essential thing, and that
is kindness;a land if we all practice kind
ness, and are very careful to see that in
milking we do not hurt the heifer,
we shall have a largely decreased
number of kicking cows. That is just
as sure as we live. While it is possi-
BILE and probable that some cows are
born with a natural kick in them, it is
nevertheless true that the majority of
kicking COWS are the product of bad
handling.-American Stockman.

After that the boy and the girl are

70 De grown up the young man has to
serve a year to his father-in-law. He
must fell trees, fetch water, fish and
hunt for the latter. During this time
he is called Kos, which means lone
who woos." After year has elapsed
the marriage is celebrated. At this
time great festivities are celebrated.
seven Or eight men perform a dance.
1hey wear dancing aprons and leg
gings, trimmed with puffin-beaks,
noofs OF deers. copper plates and bells.
Ii the groom should be wealthy man,
who has presented to his wife many
small copper plates, such as are used
as presents to a bride. these are car
ried by the dancers. The singing mas
ter, who beats the drum, starts a song
In which the dancers join. The song
used at the marriage festival is sung
In unison, while in all other dances
each dancer has his own tune and song.
The first dancer wears ring made of
cedar bark. His hair is strewn with
eagle down, which flies about when he
moves and forms a cloud about
his head. The groom presents
the first dancer with piece of
calico, which the latter tears to
pieces, which he throwns down in
front OF each house Of the village, cry
ing. "Hoipr' in order to drive away
evil spirits. These pieces of calico
which he throws down in front of the
houses have a lucky meaning, and at
the same time express the idea that the
groom. when he comes to be wealthy
man, will not forget the inhabitants of
any house when giving a festival. The
dancers swing their bodies and arms,
stamp their feet, and show the copper
plates to the lookers-on. Then the
brides father brings a great number
of blankets, generally double the num-
ber of those he had received from the
groom. and gives them to his daughter.
The bride orders a few blankets to be
spread before the groom. She sits
down, and he puts his hand upon her
head. Then the groom is given for
each of the parts of his body one or
more blankets. Finally he is given
new blanket. After the brides father
has given blanket to each dancer and
to the drummer the villagers are in
vited to a great feast. At this time
groom and bride eat for the first time
ogether.-Science.

Ealtpeter the Main Remedy for Most Dis
eases of Swine.
Saltpeter thins the blood and allays
fever Spirits of turpentine is healing
to the lungs and fatal to typhoid symp-
toms. A teaspooeful of saltpeter and
the same quantity of spirits of turpen-
tine in each barrel of swin is good
thing for well hogs in a district where
there is any liability to hog plague. If
any symptoms of sickness occur in
crease the dose to pint of saltpeter
and half a tea-cup of turpentine to each
barrel of swill, and if it does not stop
at that give all they can be made to
take in their swill. One year, while
feeding over hundred shotes, they
were taken with cholera, or hog plague.
/ say hog plague because the disease
did not always assume the same form.
Hogs will generally purge in the last
stages of almost any fatal disease, so
purging and vomiting is not always
the beginning, but frequently the
ending, or last stages of the
disease. In nearly all cases l
find fever. The blood thickens and
sometimes the hogs are costive. They
almost always cough more or less, ac-
cording to the severity of the disease.
They frequently have blind staggers,
will turn round and round. run against
buildings or fences, and sometimes
limits of the pasture will allow, until
within few minutes of death. Some
times they have quick, irregular
breathing like a horse with the
thumps. Again, their eyes will pro-

time before l came to the following
conclusion as to remedies:
A have given a 2-quart pailful of
saltpeter in rich swill to 100 sick
shotes, and it benefited them at once.
If the hog gets SO sick he will not
drink the swill, let two men hold him
on his back and, forcing his mouth
open with stick, put half teacupful
of pine tar, mixed with heaped ta-
blespoorfu of pulverized saltpeter
down the animals throat. Then make
a tablespoonful of turpentine follow it
and auoint the neck and chest Of the
patient with teacupful more of the
the same fluid. / have cured hogs

treatment has to be repeated the Sec

hogs in two or three hours, so it Is
not a great job.-E. D. Griswold, in

riage Ceremonies.

An Interesting Account of Their Mar
riage Ceremonies.
Mr.. Pb. Jacobsen, in letter to his
well-known brother. Captain A. Jacob
sen. gives the following description OF
the marriage ceremonies of the Bllqu-
Ia Indians of British Columbia. An
Indian who intends to marry calls
upon his intended wife's parents and
arranpes with them how much he is
to paw for permission to marry the
girl. Among people of high descent
this is done by messengers, sometlmes
as many as twenty being sent to call
on the girls father. They are sent by
the mans parents before the young
man is of age. In many instances
both man and girl are not more kthan
eight or nine years old. The messen-
gers GO in their boats to the girl 5
house. and carry on their negotiations
without going ashore. where the rela-
tives of the girl are standing. The
messengers of the young mans parents
praise his excellence and noble de-
scent; the great exploits of his father,
grandfather and ancestors; their wars.
victories, and hunting expeditions;
their liberality at festivals. ETC. Then
the girls relatives praise the girl and
her ancestors, and thus the negotia-
tions are carried on. Finally num-
ber of blankets are thrown ashore by
the messengers; andi the girls rela-
tiyes protest, and maintain that the
number is not sufficient to pay for the
permission to marry the girl. In or
der to obtain their consent, new
blankets are thrown ashore one by
one. the messengers continually main
