storm struck the track during the progress
of this race.

All over the eastern part of Asia the
spots in the moons disc are believed to
be rabbit or hare; the Chinese in par
tioular look upon them as a hare sitting
up and pounding rice in mortar. Most
of the Siamese take the same view; some
few, however, see in the moon a man and
woman working in field. Curiously
enough, the North American Indians
have almost the same superstitions as the
Chinese; and on old monuments in Cen
Tal America the moon appears as jug
)r vessel out of which an animal like a
tabbit is Jumping. The South American
indians, on the other hand. believe that
girl who had fallen in love with the
noon sprang upward to it, was caught

which is seen on the moons face. Tho
ssquimaux have an original superstition.

A Singular Custom in a Saxon Village

Little KotZschenbroda, a village near
Dresden, well known to many young
Americans through its excellent private
school, can boast Of a singular old time
custom. During the thirty years war,
the Elector, John George l., spent much
of his time at the famous Electoral vine
yard of Honossnitz, he being more fond
of bibbing than pleased his consort, who
however dared not reproach him with it.
Ono day she prevailed upon the pastor
of the Kotzscheubroda church, where the
Electoral couple worshiped, to preach a
sermon on the dire consequences of glut-
tony and intcmpcrance, which sermon the
venerable divine closed with the words:
Our gracious master is also hard
drinker, but he can afford it, and he
seems to be none the worst for it, Amen ="
After the service the pastor was invited
to dinncr-an invitation which rather
disturbed the good, old man. But it
was not until near the close of the dinner
that the Elector turned to him, an / said
my worthy pastor, you have been pretty
bold to-day in firing good round shot
at my hide" Whereupon the divine,
summoning all his courage, boldly re-
piled: 81 should be sorry, Your Grace,
if it only hit the hide-I wanted it to 20
| right to the heart "You are an honest
servant of the Lord, J." said the Elector-
"would all the divines in my country
were like you'll Now ask me some favor,
and it shall be granted" This our pas
tor hesitated to do, but the Elector went
right on and said: From this day for
ward you and your successors in office
shall annually be served just forty-nine
and three-quarter gallons of wine from
my cellar, since fifty gallons might be
too much" And this princely promise
is kept to the present day.-Pdris Ameri-

ALL SUMNER"

The bulldog Is not an animal to be
admired. yet he possesses one trait that
at least entities him to our respect.
His tenacity of purpose is proverbial.
1t makes him q formidable adversary.
A like trait has often enabled man TO
overcome great obstacles and win vic
tory under the most trying circum-
stances. In fact, it is only by tenacity
of purpose and indomitable will-power,
that many of life's battles are brought
to 4 successful termination.
Disease, like mans more material
enemies, Is often an obstinate adver-
sary, and It is only by the most de-
termined persstency in the use Of the
best remedy that victory is attained
over it. While DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery is guaranteed to benefit
or cure in all diseases for which it is
recommended. yet in ailments of long
standing, which are usually alike slow
in their Inception and progress, the euro
must likewise be effected by slow de-
grees and regular stages. This can

A 10000 Dog.

One of~he features Of the Westminster
Kennel Club show was the exhibition of
The dog Rival, which was formerly
bwned by the late Emperor William and
sold for large price at the time Of his
death. This breed of dogs is known in
their native country as Russian, Siberian
or Circassian wolf hounds. They are
identically the same class Of dog as the
English greyhound, but the colder
climate Of Russia has given them heavy
warm coat instead Of the thin one Of the
English dog. The most valuable speci-
mems are those of white color, with
lemon markings, and perhaps the present
dog, Rival, is the most perfect specimen
TO be found.
They are very aiIectionate in their dis
positions to those whom they recognize.
In Russia they are used for wolf hunt
ing, for which they are well fitted,
owing to their large aud powerful build
and great swiftness in running. There
are but few dogs of this kind in this
Gountry, all of which have been pur-
chased at large prices. The one sold
,ast year at the club show for $4,000,
named Ivan, is not Of the desirable
markings of the present dog, Rival.
The wolf hound is admirably suited
for lady's dog, or for the far West, rs
he can adapt himself to either peaceful
or warlike surroundings. No other
breed approaches them in beauty. To
all the exquisite g1acefulness of the true
greyhound is added power, size and
beauty of good form, which gives them
an air of majesty that the greyhound
cannot own. Their aristocratic appear
ance causes them to attract wide atten-
tion. Rival was the favorite of the late
Emperor William. A similar dog is
owned by the Empress of Austria, and
one also accompanies, VIC believe, the
well-knowI actress, Nine. Bernhardt
The price asked for the dog is $40, ,000
The dog is the joint property of Herbert
Booth King and John Getz, both of this
city.-NeW York Journal.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
HINTS TO DArRYMES.

The cheesy taste Of butter is due to
the imperfect cleansing of the butter
milk. This cannot be done completely
by the common method Of churning, in
which the butter is gathering in Jumps,
and is largely mingled with buttermilk
All the working and washing which can
be done cannot get rid wholly Of this
sour milk when it is so intimately closed
in the particles of butter. II the churn-
ing is stopped when the butter is in small
grains, and before the butter is in a COM
pact mass, and the buttermilk then drawn
of from the churn, and water poured in
and changed until it is no longer colored
by the buttermilk, and the butter is then
salted and mixed, so as to get rid of all
excess of water above that which is
needed to keep it moist enough to dis
solve the salt, which is about ten to
twelve per cent. Of the weight Of the
butter, there will be no cheesy taste
Mixing milk is injurious to the yield of
butter. This is well known to milkmcn
and butter makers. If milk which has
been set for some time, and on which the
cream has partly risen, is stirred, the
cream never rises again fully, and there
is considerable loss of butter. Orange

AsPARAGus.

There is probably no vegetable that is
so absolutely superb to the delicate appe-
tite Of the epicure as the first delicious
cuttings of asparagus. although a ma
tive of Europe ana ASIA, it has become
so common in this country as to be al
most naturalized in some places, having
found its way into the fields and some
times being seen on beaches and marshy
places on the sea coast.
Most of our prominent growers prefer
to plant one-year-old roots, although
two-year and three-year are often used.
The asparagus bed should be five feet
wide and any desirable length, according
to the size of the family. 1t should be
well cultivated, two feet deep and we'll
manured. Three rows of plants will suf-
flee to each bed; the plants should stand
one foot apart in the row, and the crowns
should be well covered four inches deep;
a good soil with sandy bottom will be
found most suitable, as the plants do not
thrive well in wet, stiff soil As soon
as the tops are cut down in the fall cover
with top dressing of coarse manure,
which may be forked early in the spring.
A partial cutting may be made the third
year, but it will add materially to the
vigor of the plants if none be got until
the fourth year. In locations away from
the seashore a topdressing will be found
beneficial. The asparagus is naturally a
marine plant, this being a reason why
salt acts benefcially. - Green's Fruit

PROVIDE FOR THE FRESH COWS.


The wise dairyman, says George E.
Newell in the american Agricultmia,
will make provision in advance for exi-
gencies that arise in the care and man
agement of stock. He can employ a few
spare hours to no better advantage than
in preparing few stalls for COWS during
parturition. The too common custom of
leaving cows sanctioned up to the
moment of calving, and often so con-
fined through its throes, is as inhuman
as it is unwise. The females of all ami
mails instinctively seek seclusion during
these trying periods, and that seclusion,
with care and comfort, should be freely
given them. Unless the dairy is a very
large one, it will not require more than
two or three stalls for the purpose indi-
Gated. There is generally spare room
enough for these in the average stable,
but if not, erect them elsewhere in warm
quarters. Build an ordinary box-stall.
with bars opening on the stable. The
dimensions of the stall need be only suf-
ficient for the free movements of the
animal. Make the stalls snug and warm,
keep them dry, and well Uttered with
straw. The COW should be turned loose
In the stall few days prior to parturi-
ton, and kept there till after the expul-
sion of the placenta. Isolation for
longer period would be still better. Com
suit the farm record, or memorandum
book, TO zee when the natural period of
CESSATION will expire, and keep careful
watch of the COW. She may calve before
or after her time; her symptoms and
appearance must govern in this regard.
New milch cows, in the severest weather
of our harsh Northern winters, can be
made even more profitable than in mid
summer. They require warm quarters
and abundant food. In the early spring.
when the greater number of dairy cows
are coming in, stalls are indispensable.
not only for the comfort of cows, but to
insure their safe passage through this
trying ordeal. In these matters, the best
that man can do is to assist nature.
Cows that run down at calviug time, and
are i'll cared for and neglected. will be
proitless TO their owners the rest of the
season.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


The man who plants anything but the
best of potatoes, choosing the largest and
incest, does not understand the potato
business.
How about the wood pile1 We have
not had much snow yet TO haul out the
wood, and the chances aIe that if it comes
it will not last very long. Is it not best
to get out some on the wagon while the
ground is frozen?
The progressive farmer is orderly, sys-
tematic and business like. he reads, thinks,
studies farm management and adopts i'm
proved implements, he leads or directs
important work, and he gives each crop
proper attention in season. He plans in
winter, executes in spring and summer.
The farmer who failed to take advan-
tage of the open weather in winter to be
ahead with his work will, on the ap-
proach of spling, find himself so hamp-
cred with a multiplicity of jobs as to
either do most of them in a slovenly man
ner or leave some of them undone en-
tirely.
A small strip of brown paper wrapped
around celery plants as they are being
banked up makes the job much easier,
and prevents danger of getting dirt be-
tween the stems, which causes rust.
Many market gardeners now use this
method, but it may not be known to some
amateurs who are growing celery this
year for the first time.
Plants are as sensitive as human beings
about having wet feet. They catch cold,
so to speak; and if the unhealty organs
are not attended to at once death is al
most sure. Excess of moisture in the
soil, until it becomes, in measure, stag

ing to the young roots, and the disease is
conveyed to every portion of the tree or
plant.
1t is often recommended to feed coarse
wheat bran 10 hogs, and especially to
young pigs; but the fact is they do not
relish it, and will not eat it unless forced
| by hunger. When corn-meal and bran
are mixed together the pigs poke their
noses through it, sitting out the finer
meal, and leaying the coarser portions
untasted. The fine middlings are eaten
more readily, and when mixed with milk
and warm dlshwater make an excellent
feed for sows and young pigs. The
4 coarse feed may contain the same nutri-
ment, but 1t scours the pigs, and this is
very bad for them in cold weather.
The kind of hogs that require three OF
four years to mature, and in that time
will attain enormous size and weight, are

SAVING THE PAsruREs.

There are two times that by a little
carelessness pastures are often severely
injured. One is early in the spring,
when the grass is just starting to grow,
and the other in midsummer, when the
weather Is hot and dry.
II the stock is turned out in the spring
before the grass gets good start the
stock derive but little, if any. benefit
from III and the grass plants are often
seriously injured-so much so that the
small amount OF feed secured will rarely
pay for the damage. The better plan to
avoid this is 70 keep the stock ~ and
feed on dry feed a little longer. A very
few days will make a considerable differ
onee in the growth Of the grass, and after
II gets a good start il will furnish much
larger amount Of feed than if it is fed
down close from the start.
During the first part Of the growing
season the grass generally will furnish a
larger amount Of feed than at any other.
A. the weather becomes warmer. dry
weather usually sets in, and in conse.
quence the grass does not make as good

CHOKING IN ANIMALS.

Many animals, particularly when quite
hungry, will bolt their meal OF roots
without the necessary mastication and
the result is, that if large quantity is
thus disposed of, the mass lodges in the
gullet in its passage to the stomach and
the animal suffers considerable pain un-
til the obstruction is removed. Sliced
roots, unless cut very fine, are more
liable TO cause choking than when whole {;
in the former case the animal is able to
pass into the gullot piece sufficiently
large to obstruct the passage, while
/ where the roots have TO be cut by the
| teeth there is little danger Of large
pieces being bitten Off. Chopped grain,
particularly barley and bran, Is liable TO
choke an animal il an attempt is made to
take large mouthfuls.
The general symptoms of choking are
manifested by pronounced uneasiness.
The animal works its jaws, opening the
mouth frequently in the vain attempt to
swallow the obstruction which is causing
no little pain. The breath is drawn
with difficulty and the stomach some
times appears to be distended, not owing,
however, as il is generally supposed, to
air that has been swallowed, but to gas
that has been formed through chemical
changes occurring to the food in the
stomach. II the obstruction is situated
in the upper part Of the gullet the head
is held low and extended, with the nose
and neck straightened to their full length
forward. The eyes appear glaring and
bloodshot and show evidences Of great
pain. An examination will reveal the loca-
tion Of the cause Of the trouble, but care
should be taken not TO confound the
natural unevenness Of the throat at its
junction to the head with the obstruc-
When situated as above it can usually
be removed by the hand; a balling iron
or its substitute, a big plow clevice,
first having been put in the mouth TO
keep the Jaws apart and admit of the
passage of the hand
Another form in which the obstruc-
ton is found in about midway between
the head and chest; the swelling in this
case being usually very pronounced upon
the left side Of the animals neck The
symptoms arc not so severe as in the
former case; there may be free passage
OF liquids and no bloaung.
The third form in which choking takes
place is when the substance lodges at the
lower end of the gullet, near its entrance
to the stomach. Bloating usually ac.
companies this form and the animal may
die by pressure of the stomach on the
lungs.
in relieving cases of choking most
painlessly a cheap and simple instrument
known as probang is necessary. This
instrument is a spiral spring about five
feet long, covered with rubber of leather,
and having cap-shaped head on one
end and a perforated ball on the other.
This, when oiled, is passed into the
throat and the offending substance forced
downward. In the absence of the pro-
bang gentle manipulation with the hand
may suffice; harsh manipulation to be
avoided. An improvised probang may
be made by well oiling a piece of new
rope. As the proper instrument is hol-
low it is of value when gas has col
lected in tine stomach. Soft food should
be given the animal after relief Mari
