CROWDING THE LOTTERIES.
The President Urges Legislation That VIII
Ruin Them,

Ruin Them.
WASHINGTON July 29.-The president
has sent to congress a special message on
the subject Of lotteries. He says that the
recent attempt to secure charter from the
state of North Dakota for a lottery COM
pany, pending the effort to obtain from
the state of Louisiana renewal of the
charter of the Louisiana state lottery, and
the establishment of one or more lottery
companies at the Mexican towns near onr
borGer, have served a good purpose of
calling the public attention to an evil of
vast proportions Continuing the presi-
dent says that if the baneful effects of lot
teries were confined to the states that gave
the companies corporate power and
license to conduct business, the citizens of
other states, being powerless to apply
legal remedies, might clear themselves of
the responsibility by the use of such gen.
eral agencies as we're within their reach.
but the case is not so. The people of all
the states are debauched and defrauded.
The vast sums of money offered to states
for charters, are drawn from the people of
the United States and the general govern
ment, through the mail system, is made an
effective and profitable medium of inter-
course between the lottery company and
its victims. The use of the mails is quite
as essential to the companies as the state
license It would be practically impos-
sible for companies to exist if the public
mails were once effectually closed against
their advertisements and remittances. The
use of the mails by these companies is a
prostitution of an agency only intended to
serve the purpose of Legitimate trade and
decent social intercourse. The presi-
dent concludes by urging the enactment
of such laws as will absolutely prevent the
use of the mails by lottery companies.
A letter from the postmaster general ac-
companies the message in which the
inadeluacy of the present postal laws to
meet the emergency is pointed out.

A Model Pig Shed.

An Austrian stock grower has erected
a pig shed which cannot easily be beaten
for cheapness and practical usefulness. It
is model, not in the sense of being COM
plete regardless of expense, but in being
the best arrangement Of easily available
materials. In the middle of the pig pad
dock the shed stands, and it provides
shelter from any wind as we'll as the
shade of a roof. A number of fencing
posts are put in, and wall plate is fixed
upon them. Rafters of the local bulloke
saplings support roof of bark, and in
this arrangement we have cheap roof
which is within the reach of any selector
A wall three feet six inches high, made
of hardwood boards, is run along and
across the shed under the roof. This
forms ''T'' shaped wall shelter, which
protects from any wind, the pigs choos-
ing the lee side according to the way of
the wind. Such "models'' are wanted
instead of expensive crectiOns which can
not be initiated by the practical farmer.

Success in Sheep Raising.

One great secret of success in breed
ing sheep is to keep them at all seasons
of the year we'll graded and sorted up as
to age and physical condition. The lamb
flock, if composed of only one hundred,
will need some wedding out; there will
be some inferior lambs; take these out
and put them in a small pasture lot by
themselves, and if possible sell them to
the first buyer that comes along. Your
flock of lambs is more valuable without
them. Like all young and growing
stock, the lamb must have the best of
care and attention from the time it is
dropped until it is one year old, if you
expect to make it profit. Our good
results have all come from lambs under
these conditions.
Proper feeding is matter Of particu-
lar moment. Sheep are peculiar as to
their taste for food. They will not eat
what does not suit them, and, if their
likes and dislikes are not humOred, will
lose in flesh rapidly. Our most success
full sheep breeders in New England and
the middle wool growing states advocate
feeding sheep three times daily, but only
as much as they will eat up clean. Too
liberal feeding is mistaken kindness,
and when carried to extremes the results
are very injurious. Another matter of
paramount importance is that you keep
plenty of salt before your sheep, They
will eat but a very little at time, but
they need it often, and it is very healthy.
Besides, the cost is mere triie.

A Kicking Cow.

An Oregon farmer gives remedy for
kicking COWS which he claims to have
used with great success for the past
twelve years: Take small rope or cord
about the size Of clothes line; make
loop, in one end; hold the loop end in one
hand, drop the other end over the cows
back; pick itup and pass it through the
loop, then slip it back just behind the
hips, bringing it underneath just forward
of and close to the udder, adjusting it so
that the loop is near the back bone.
Now draw the rope through the loop
tightly and fasten it, the more tightly
the better if the animal is very vicious,
On the first application she will Jump
and try to kick and perhaps below; but
let her kick, she will soon get tired of
doing so. Now you can sit down and
milk without the least danger. You can
hardly provoke her to kick. If she
should still try to kick, tighten the rope
and continue to do this till she gives up.
Three applications in succession will
cure the worst case. Treat her kindly
and gently all the time without the least
excitement

ELDORADO, A NEW YELLOW RADISH.
These new varieties are catalogued by
Peter Henderson & Co. with novelties
worthy of trial, and are thus described:
The Eldorado is identical with the old IA
vorite, scarlet turnip radish, in shape, size
and quality, but is golden yellow in
color. The yellow radishes are now COM
ing into more general use, as these make
an attractive contrast with the red varie
ties on the table. New Celestial is dis
tinct variety, the stock of which was
imported from China. 1t is ready for use
when d to inches long, and continues
until nearly inches long, making it al
most an all seasons radish. 1t may be
grown in open ground or for forcing in
frames. Rapid Forcing radish resembles
the scarlet turnip, white tipped variety,
but is earlier, coming into maturity at
about twenty-five days from time of SOW
ing. Having very small tops, it is adapt
ed for forcing, though is equally desira-
BILE for the garden. Thanks are due to the
firm quoted for the cut here presented.

A Euisode.

A civil engineer who has done service
on the frontier relates the following
amusing incident: While on the survey of
ono of the Texas railroads we had with us
one Of the meanest horses o man ever
saw. He was fair to look upon, but he
had traits which caused q threat 10 shoot
him every hour In the day. The man
who approached that horse when he was
feeding put his life in peril. One day
when we we're in temporary camp Old
Satan. as we called the horse, wandered
away from the other animals to richer
pasture. He was feeding at q distance OF
about 10 rods on and In grass knee high,
one of our men. who had climbed o

called down 70 Us IN low voice:

for results" We waited. The Indian
had come out Of q dry ditch a mile long
on purpose to steal one OF our horses and
have something TO boast of. He must
have chuckled with delight when the best
looking horse I'm all the lot walked right
down 10 him and asked to be run or. In
about five minutes the dusky thief was

haps the horse saw him, perhaps not. The
first thing we saw, however, was an In

triumph and tried to startthe horse of, but
Old Satan stood straight up and shook
him loose, and the fellow had scarcely
touched the ground before he was seized,
flung hither and thither and walked all
over. We ran to IN spot and drove the
horse away, to find the Indian uncon-
scious. He wal q sad sight to look upon,
resembling a man who had been run
through q threshinR machine, and il was

WATCHES ARE C0MPAssEs.

The Cardinal Points Can be Ascertained
From Them Very Easily.
London TRUTH
A few days ago I was standing by an
American gentleman, when expressed a
wish to know which poiut was North. He
at once pulled out his watch, looked at it
and pointed to the North. asked him
whether he had com pass attached to his
watch. "All Watches" he replied "are
compasses."
Then he explained to me how this was.
Point the hour hand to the sun and the
South is exactly half way between the hour
and the figure XII on the watch. For in
stance, suppose that it is o'clock. Point
the hand indicating to the sun and II on
the watch is exactly South. Suppose that
it is o'clock. point the hand Indicating 8
to the sun, and the figure x on the watch ia
due South.
: My American friend was quite surprised
that did not know this. Thinking that
very possibly was ignorant OF q thing
every one else knew, and happening to
meet Mr. Stanley, asked that eminent
traveller whether he was aware of this simple
mode of discovering the points of the COM
pass. He said that he had never heard Of
it. I presume, therefore, that the world
is in the same state o ignorance. AmaM is
proud ef having been the home Of the in
ventor of the compass. J do not know what
town boasts of my American friend as a
citizen.

TRANSLATED FOR THE DISPATCH, ]


In the village Krumhubel, lying at the
base Of a snow-capped mountain, lived a
little boy named Gebhard, whose mother
had been dead many years, and whose father
was poor wood cutter. The little cottage
in which he lived was tended BY an old
aunt, who, although she did not neglect the
boy, did not love him, and his lively, child
ish ways we're great trial to her. At night,
when the father returned from his work in
the forest, he would hear such complaints of
his sons behavior that often the little fellow
would receive most undeserved punishment
But, in spite of his troubles, Gebhard was
gay and happy, and spent the long summer
days in the fields and meadows, running
after butterflies, gathering wild flowers and
playing hide-and-seek with the cuckoo,
whose song often led him a wild chase
through the forest, in hope Of gaining a
sight OF the teasing little bird, which never
allowed itself to be seen by the eager boy.
In the winter, when the snow covered the
ground and piled itself in great drifts about
the wood cutters home, Gebhard's winged
friends did not desert him. and early in the
morning the sparrows would come pecking
at the window, and chirped as if to say:
'Gebhard, get up. We are hungry and
want some breakfast"
The boy understood their cries, and quick
ly opening the window be would share with
the birds his morning meal of black bread.
When the greedy sr>rrows had satisfied
their hunger, they would fy away, leaving
their little riend to spend the day as best
he could with his scolding aunt.

his pleasant dreams by the harsh voice of

aunt did not forget to scold, and to chide
Gebhard for his idle wavs.
One day, when the wood-cutter was suffer
ing more than usual, the aunt said: "You
must climb the mountain and gather the
small, brown herb that grows nearest
the snow. With that 1 can make a tea
which will restore your fathers health. So
make haste and do not loiter by the way"
Gebhard knew that the path up the noun
tain was steep and dangerous, and he had
heard that wild beasts made their nome in
the forest through which he must pass; but
he was brave boy, and for his fathers sake
he was willing to undertake the journey,
and armed onlv with staff, and basket in
which to carry the herbs, he set out on his
way. So absorbed was he in his errand that
he gave no heed to the butterflies futtering
SO near, and the songs of the birds were un-
noticed by the little traveller. Bravely he
climbed the rocky path, while the mountain
top seemed to grow farther aud farther away.
The sharp stones cut his bare feet and the
thornv bushes scratched his hands and face.
Then Gebhard thought: "If had only gone
to the willow and called for my friend; but
perhaps he would not wish to climb this
rough path.
"Yes, he would" said the hunter, who
stood on the path directly in front OF Geb-
hard ."and you should always call on me
when you are in need. What is the trouble
this time?"
When Gebhard had told his errand, the
hunter said: "You need 60 no farther, for
the herb you seek is growing all about you
and you have but to stoop and gather it.
Gebhard joyfully thanked the hunter, and
having filled his basket, fastened home.
When he told his aunt that he had found
the herb hall way up the mountain, she
cried: "You have brought the wrong plant,
and would poison your father. Let me

The disastrous results OF the use of naked
lights in coal pits have been demonstrated

cared at the inquiry following on the

men will still risk their lives rather than
work with the so-called safety lamps. They
find that their eyesight is impaired and
their work hin dered by the small glimmer-
ing light which the protected lamps afford.

even with the greater danger. Several at
