lege student that would endorse their
sentiments. In the older university
towns IL would be very difficult TO find
a d~eep-rooted prejudice against the sale
and consumption of spirits. Indeed q
majority Of the students In such towns
would feel like making q demonstra-
ton in favor of the Vermillion drug
dist rather than against him. The at
titude of the South Dakota boys is so
strange and peculiar that 1t will not be
easily understood by undergraduates
farther east. According to all estab-
lished presidents they ought to be en-
gagged in painting the town its W N
name. So great has been their diver
gence from college tradition, In fact,
that the story of Mondays exploit
would be everywhere discredited, were
it not for its closing sentences. The
fact of their venting their disapproval
at the way things turned out by Great
ing a first class disturbance in the court
room, shows that they were college
students after all, and that there Is
still hope for them.

As good, all-round defense in muir
der cases, insanity has won its wsy 70 the
repect and confidence of criminal lawyers,
IL not to the public at large. It is an over
sight probably that IL has not been gener-
ally introduced i'm all trials for crime
where other schemes of defense were
open to the criticism Of FLEEING too thin. The
counsel for Mr.. Furson, who is charged
with forgery and embezzlement to the
amount Of 100000, at Pontiac, H., has
set the ball rolling in earnest, and one
may expect to see insanity figuring con-
spicuously in the Doodle trials of the
future.

The government of Ecuador is cast
ing about for an assignee. Accounts
of the causes of Ecuador's financial
embarrassment are rather meager and
unsatisfactory, but il seems 10 he an
other case where all the partners in the
concern have helped themselves too lib
orally from the till. The authorities
were opposed To a surplus on principle,
and were resolved never To let their
country get into the condition of the
United states on any account. If the
republicans at Washington keep ut il
long enough, the United States, in spite
of the Mckinley bill, will cease setting
the other nations a bad example i'm this
respect. The excess of appropriations
over estimates for this year will be
about n~inety-two millions.

The rivalry between Seattle and Ta-
coma seems to be assuming q serious
nature. One DIR. Bayley of Seattle has
offered to bet IS 200 that his town has 10000
NOR population than the other, and Sem
ator Thompson, an enthusiastic Tacoma
tie, proposes to be one Of 20 who will
wager $4,000 that the doctors estimate is
way of, or nj any rate that the census will
not show n difference Of 10000 In favor Of
Seattle. DIR. Bayley is calling for help to
enable him 10 see Senator Thompson's
bet, and IL possible go him q few thous-
ands better. Perhaps. however, the whole
business is a new and improved way Of
booming both towns by keeping them be-
fore the public. Those Washington fel.
lows are given TO phenomenal bluffs.

Tiffany, the millionaire jeweler of New
York, never wears n diamond, although
he has thousands OF the finest gems In
the world to select from. His ~favorite

King Humbert Is a very prudent mon
arch. Last year the civil list for the royal
household was 1b,350,000 francs, and the
king spent 15,349,99 francs 81 centimes,
leaving not quite kwo cents to his credit
for the ensuing year..
Austin Corbin's wedding present to an

The lameness Of the queen of England
has now become so pronounced that she

1t is stated that the first Napoleon very
rarely wrote a letter with his own hand,
and those few in his own writing which
do exist are mostly in Italian. He usually
dictated to a secretary at such q rapid rate
that the amanuensis had Il nj up gaps
from memory, and II is q funny fact that
most Of Napoleon's love letters to Jose
phine were thus dictated.
The wife Of Ignacio Martinez, a poor
laboring Mexican, who lives al Puento'
Los Angeles county, California, gave
birth last week TO male triplets, whose
total weight was q pounds. The mother
and her three babies are all i'm good con-
dition. The couple have been married p
years and Mrs. Martinez is only 30 years
q age. She has given birth to II children
in all, including two pairs Of twins.
The German emperor has now taken
into his own hands the management of
his private fortune, and il is asserted that
n short time back he negotiated a loan of
100000 marks, assured by a mortgage on a
house in the "Reminiscences In Berlin.
Before concluding the treaty the emperor
visited the said house himself several
times, so as to be sure of his bargain.
The loan was made out Of the savings
from the emperor's private purse. as the
papers In the mortgage Office i'm Berlin
can prove.
DIR. Olive Wendell Holmes is past 80.

About Calf-Raising.

One season, not many years ago,
had three calves of the same sex, which
| treated as follows, neither ever hav-
ing sucked its dam: No. was given new
milk until a little less than one week
old, when that skinned at twelve hours
old was substituted. In a few days
older milk was used and bit of tallow
given. This treatment was continued
until the calf was two months old, when
it was given handful of shorts and
meal, the tallow being omitted. The
next change was to withhold one mess
of milk per day, substituting water
heated to lukewarmness, and piece of
bread, made of meal and wheat bran,
about four inches square and one and
one-half in thickness. The quantity of
skim-milk was about four quarts daily.
| was surprised to see that calf grow
large, stout and fat. No. was a small
framed calf, designed for veal. 1t was
given whole milk, not taking at first
all its mother gave. Then it drank all
and required more. Gave it little
tallow and spoonful of meal. Then |
gave it Indian meal pudding. The last
week of its life | fed between a pint
and quart of meal served in this way.
The result was a fine veal calf at the
age of six weeks. The mother was
small and gave but little milk The
mother of No. 3 was large COW, said
to have been well up to shortly after
partuTition, when she was taken with
milk fever and died. The calf received
the best of care, was fed whole milk
was as large at birth as the other, though
smaller boned. It's stomach was weak.
AT three weeks of age it could not take
as much milk as calf OF five days
should require. Result; Although re-
ceiving better care and more time than
both the others, it was a poor, puny
creature. Opinion formed because of
these results; If a calf has a healthy
stomach he may be raised for veal or to
keep at comparatively little cost of time
and material, even though " brought up
by hand" If his stomach is weak and
won't take good ration, better lay a
hammer on the kritter's" head.

TIE Cows UDDER.-A writer in
the Mirror and Farmer says: I" 1t was
once thought that the cows udder is a
great receptacle of milk, and the
swollen glands were supposed to be the
reservoirs of the already perfected lac
teal fluid. But recent investigation
and observations have led to the con-
clusion that the swollen udder, instead
of being distended with milk, is dis
tended with the blood material out of
which milk is elaborated and that after
the emptyiny of the lower cavities, tn e
milk is elaborated and secreted, during
milking, much as the saliva is deposited
in the mouth during the process of
mastication." Some facts of our own
observation lead us still to believe that
the cows bag is ga great receptacle of
milk" and that, though some milk is
secreted in the few minutes of milking,
the proportion is small, compared with
the whole mess. BY the use of milk
ing tubes (Which, however, it is not
safe to use frequently we have emp
tied a cows bag in two minutes, and
found the mess very close to her aver

statement of careful experiments, by
competent hands, to settle the matter

Whether we like it or not, we are
obliged to put up with the Muscadine,
Hartford, Worden, Moore's Early,
Salem, and sometimes the Delaware
and Concord. Earliness and high
quality never yet have been found COM
bined in the same variety" He then
remarks: "Don't fool away space,
time and money on new varieties. "
1t seems to us, Brother Gilbert, that
there was a time when all these you
name were new varieties, and Moore's
Early is not yet an old one. We adj
wise you to try Green Mountain,
Brighton, Massasoit and Lindley, and
we think you will find them early
enough for you, being all considerably
earlier than Concord. If they don't

Maynard's method of Fastening ma

A wet, cool summer and fall are not so
injurious to a grass farmer as the re-
verse. But good as they may exfor
grass, they are not favorable to grain.
AS to the small grains, the knowledge
acquired in the damp climate of Eng
land would have proved of service
amongst us lately. We ought to have
a few good English or Scotch farmers
in all our farmers clubs and oranges to
help us over such difficulties. Their
knowledge of how to handle ripe grain
in damp weather would be worth some
thing. Having this year fifteen acres
of oats, wheat, rye and barley, we
think we should be lucky to have our
friend Aiken of Woodstock, the
" mangel king of Vermont" at our
right hand this summer, if it is to be
like the last. We would like to see
five thousand British farmers invading
Vermont, with the peaceful purpose of
settling amongst us. 1t would boom
Vermont, surely.
