A Big Whale and His Mate.

The big whale which caused a commo
ton in the bay last week r%eappeared off
Sausalito on Sunday with a mate as large
and frisky as himself. The two monsters
were mo on business than on pleasure
bent, as they picked out the best places
in the channel for fishing, and kept at it
industriously all day Sunday and a good
part of yesterday. The noise of their
spouting could be plainly heard in Sausa-
Ito. They were very shy, starting sea-
ward whenever approached by sail or
row boats. The abundance of small fish
was what doubtless tempted them over
the bar, and they divided the ground
yesterday with a host of predatory peli-
cans, gulls and seals. A water front
whale sharp estimates the length of the
larger n at forty feet and ofthe smaller
one at thirty.-San Francisco Examiner.

Something About the First Editions of
the Great Poets Works.
Adolph Sutro has endeavored for a
long time to complete his unfinished
''first four folio" editions of Shakespeare.
With him this has been a labor of quiet,
but uninterrupted, research. Of the
first folio edition (1613) there are only
five complete copies known to exist.
One is in the British museum, another
In the French National library, another
in the National library at Munich, one in
the possession of Lord Ellesmere, and
the remaining one is now owned by the
Baroness Burdett Coutts.
These books are now worth a kings
ransom in gold; in fact, it is not to be
supposed that money could purchase
them from their opulent possessors. In
the Sutro library this first edition was
rendered almost complete yesterday by
the receipt of seven plays heretofore
lacking. What is now sought after t.
render it entire is the last leaf in the
play Of "Locrine," a play which is al
a%pocryphal one, SO for as Shakespeare,
authorship thereof is concerned, but
which is always found in the first foul
editions of his works. Besides, there
still remains another defect.

A CURIOUS PERFORMANCE.

a horse consigned to DR.. Jaquith of

stolen from freight car at South Yer

shifted from the Central Vermont road to

the horse taken out. A reward of $50
was offered and Saturday the horse and
thief were captured near Bennington.

gone toward Bennington. McHolen al
legged that he caught the horse on the rail
road track at South Vernon, and that he
intended to ride the animal to Detroit.
Mich, which place he thought was not
far distant. The prisoner is in Benning-
ton Jail awaiting trial.
The above items from exchanges tell OF
singular theft. The animal stolen was
the gelding bought of Messrs. Brooks
and Bissette of this place and shipped
hence by the purchaser, G. w. Fem, last
Friday morning, to Hartford. Ii is saiG
that several men saw the unloading OF
the animal, but they naturally supposed

them, as the proprictors Of DR.. Pierce's
Medicines are doing, through druggists,
under a positive guarantee of benefit
or cure IN erery case, on fair trial, or

There are scores of sarsaparillas and

HEDGE AND WIRE FENCES.


A Combination That Makes n safe and
Permanent Pence.
The Usage orange is extensively used
for division and yard fences, and. when
properly set out and cared for. it makes
cheap and good hedge. In some parts
OF Illinois there are miles of Usage
hedge to rods Of any other kind Of
fence, and, where kept well trimmed,
they give satisfaction. The chief OBJ
lection to Usage hedge as yard-fencc
is that hogs will work under 1t to find q
cool place They rub and break of the
lower branches, and eventually make
gaps, through which they escape into the
fields or neighbors' lots. To prevent
this, the sharp, spiny shoots, cut from
the top, are piled against the base Of
the hedge. But this soon becomes dry
and brittle, and is quickly rooted out
and pushed aside. so that almost con-
slant watchfulness on the part OF the
owner is necessary to prevent the hogs
from working through.
Eight years ago, says a contributor to
the American Agriculturist, friend
called my attention to the hedges around
his hog-lo which were rubbed of

FORMATION OF MILK.
Some of the Latest Theories on this Sub
ieet.


jeet.
The popular idea is that milk is a
product of some internal organ of the
COW, and is '.run" into the udder through
the big milk veins on the abdomen,
attaching great Importance to the size
of the veins and the diameter of the
''well holes" through which they pass
into the body. AT an institute, lately,
says Hoard's DairyInan, speaker in
some remarks on milk production gave
utterance to the later theory that milk
is not secreted as a perfect milk during
the intervals of milking, but that the I'D
der simply secretes quantity of serum
and blood elements, which are elabor-
ated into milk during the process Of milk
ing, and that person blindfolded, could
not by the taste, distinguish between
fresh drawn blood and milk.
His deductions we're that the feeding
of mich cows, profitably, must be done
with protein food-bran, oats, peas,
ETC., and less corn meal. Tho reason is
that these being distinct blood foods
tend direct TO the developing of more
and better blood, causing the udder to
and hence better results. by expert
ment it has been found that the udder
before milking contained but small
quantity of milk, scarcely more than a
quart and the second" flow of milk is
made from the stored quantity of serum,
and elaborated into milk by nervous
power as the process of milking goes on.
The proofs at his disposal were, that
dairymen present were forcing up the
butter and milk yields of their dairies,
just as they increased the bran supplies
OF the food ration. This was a new
theme for the farmers present Some
took a sidewalk objection, as all
bosh; but others could see practical
point for them to put to profitable use
That OF supplying far less fat-formers to
their cows, needed heat by warmer sta
hles, and tepid water TO drink, and more
blood forming foods.
