wrong and detrimental when applied to
the dairy breeds. The form which gives
the greatest degree Of activity to the
dairy functions is decidedly angular, and
in so much as it deviates from this form
it deviates from the highest type.
It is fair to assume that our most sue
cessful dairy sires are the best models,
and by studying their forms we find there
are certain features common to them
all. Herewith is an outline from pho
tograph of Jersey bull Tormentor. He
is the sire of twenty three COWS, with
butter records ranging from 14pounds
to 90 pounds 81 ounces per week.
Note his height at the Group or SET
ting on of tail, the downward slope
of the center of the back, and the in
curving of the thigh from the tail down,
and the depth of barrel. Aside from these
points the photograph shows him to be

ers, and ribs we'll defined.

Correct Forms for Dairy Cattle.

To know the correct form for dairy
sire is a very important matter to the
breeder of dairy animals, and illustra-
tions of dairy breeds should not fail to
carefully delineate these forms peculiar
to the best specimens of the breed. When
the subject is an animal whose meat is
the food product, or whose strength or
endurance are results desired, there may
be no serious objection to the padding
out of apparently little deficient parts,
as this is educating the eye in the right

According to Staten Island Superstition
There's Much Virtue in 1t.
| Probably you never heard of it before,
but the water of the Gulf Stream is con-
| fidently believed by certain old people
on Staten Island to be a sovereign reme-
dy for disorders of the stomach. They
drink half a glass after each meal, smack
their lips, take a stout horn of whisky
and in about three days they get we'll.
So they say. So pilots and other sea-
faring men who get out to the Gulf
Stream are frequently importuned to
bring in jugs of the Gulf water for the
invalids. There is saloon-keeper
!own there whose faith in this sort of
| thing is unlimited, and he has been be-
sieging for about thirty years certain
pilot of his acquaintance to bring him
in some of the water. Bat the pilot
always forgot.

the old man almost to death by bring

brace up at once, and three days later
he chased the pilot half way around the
island to overwhelm him gratitude.

And the pilot did not smile nor jibe
nor jeer. But when the flood tide had
been running about an hour that even
ing he went softly down to the end of
Stapleton pier, drew out tin bucket
and dipped up about gallon of the
impid stream. And the next morning
the saloon-keeper was overjoyed to get
two more jugs of Gulf Stream water
from his thoughtful friend.

pilot, apologetically; shut as long as

ABOUT RED SAPPHIRES.
They Occur Sometimes as Exceptions

They Occur Sometimes as Exceptions to
an Apparently Rigid Rule.
Mineralogists now maintain that all
of the historic rubies are spinels, but it
is within the bounds of possibility that
large red sapphires occur sometimes as
exceptions to an apparently rigid rule,
for we have lately received, says Mr..
Hamlin, the English expert, from the
Ceylon mines, a transparent crystal of
pink color which weighs 241 carats. 1t
is also stated that the King of Arakan
possesses two magnificent prisms of l u
inches in length and inch in diameter.
But of all the fine red sapphires which
are known and proved there are but few
above five carats. The largest one of
which we have any definite knowledge
is the beautiful gem set in the Tolson
dor of the French regalia, and which
weighs 3-16 carats. The inventory of
the French gems in 1891 illustrates the
comparative rarity and diminutive size
of these stones, for in this splendid col
lection, which had accumulated during
a long period of time, and was then the
richest in Europe, there were but four
red sapphires above five carats, and only
five above four carats.
This variety is singularly liable to
imperfections far more so than either
the blue or tho yellow. 1t is rare to
find ruby of the pure and characteristic
pigeon blood tint that does not in some
degree exhibit silky and opalescent
fibers. This defect which generally
appears as milkiness in the interior
of the gem, is due to minute crystals
dispersed throughout the stone, which
become apparent when tho mineral is
viewed parallel to the primitive axis of
the crystal Hence, in cutting the
rough stone, considerable care must be
exercised by the lapidary so to shape
tho gem as to render its opalescence
invisible.
Rubies of exquisite color are often
rendered comparatively valueless on
account Of fibers, clouds and chalcedony-
like bands All the red sapphires, how
ever, are not affected in this way. The
blood-red are much moro liable than
those which have a tinge of blue. We
have examined number Of red sap
phires perceptibly tinted with violet
which were completely free from in
ternal defects.
This opalescence is never possessed
by the spinel. and is, therefore, one OF

SWISS TAXATION.
Explanation of the system Known as the
Progressive Tax Scale.

Explanation of the system Known as the
Progressive Tax Scale.
Almost the first difficulty that besets
people trying to govern for themselves
is the question of revenue. Where is
the money to come from? Taxes, the
bugbear of all nations, also puzzle the
Swiss. His method of raising them in
some of the cantons is alike interesting
and novel. No official assessment is
made OF property. Blanks are distrib-
uted to every house, to be filled in by
its occupants. The system is known as
the progressive tax scale.
A, who owns 81, OO) worth OF property,
pays taxes only on half of it; B, who
owns S25, 900 worth, pays taxes on eight
tenths of it; while C, with his S1On,o0)
worth Of property, pays taxes on the
whole. Tho result is that pays not
the proportional twenty-five times tho
amount of AS taxes, but fifty times as
much, The income-tax Is managed after
a similar fashion. The rich pay out OF
all proportion to the poorer classes
They probably would not change places
with the poor, however, even to save
what they decry as unjust taxation.
The plan is not always popular one.
Leaving every man to assess himself
has the disadvantage that the rich,
with stocks and bonds, sometimes do
not make return Of them. When a rich
Swiss dies, however, tho government
control of his estate quickly makes
amends for all his past misdeeds in the
