THE GOOD COW.

Steckinan.
A good COW when in milking order
is neither fleshy nor scrawny, but she is
of happy medium order, that combines
muscular symmetry and lacteal voluptu-
business. She is represented in all breeds
of cattle subject to especial adaptation.
She is physically healthy from hoof to
horn provided she hasn't monkeyed
with dehorning chute), and of strong
constitution enough to insure vigorous
offspring.
While dependent largely on mans
care for substantiation of the term
good" the superiority of her inherited
lacteal organism is a marked character
istic peculiarly her own. She is naturally
of a sensitive, docile nature, but will
stand on the defensive when abused.
Her very nature makes her Industrious
about feeding. and she is never lazy in
this regard. When she is in pasture she
grazes assiduously till her stomach is
full, then she lies down and ruminateS
till the food she has absorbed is assimi-
lated, being up and off Immediately in
search of another repast. Her hair is
silky, and she has refined physical con-
tour. Although a heavy eater she car
ries no ill-proportioned "paunch," and
she possesses great powers of digestion
and assimilation. 1t matters not wheth-
er her name is "Crumpled Horn" or
"Muley Jane," she has so many promi-
nent points that you could spot her for
superior COW in the middle of a ten
acre lot.

foot bridge had fallen, carrying its
human freight down fifteen feet. The
section breaking was 100 feet long and
15 feet wide. The continuous guard
railing did not break. This caused the
falling part to swing with an angle of
forty-fve degrees. The Gaping stones
thus fell first. Had the railing broken
the stones would have fallen on the
people and probably fifty would have
been killed outright. Those fatally in

New HAVEN. CONN, April 2l.-Henry
Foote, widower 28 years of age, asked
Miss Minnie Burt to take short drive
in the park. She accepted, but instead
of taking her to the park Foote drove
out into the country, where he. made a
proposal of marriage. She refused and
attempted to jump from the carriage,
but Foote held her in the seat, while he
drove at break-neck pace, threatening
to kill her if she made any attempt to
leave the carriage. Rev. MIR. Hubbelrs
house in Hamden was visited and there
he again threatened to kill the girl if she
did not marry him. Reluctantly she
left the carriage and entered the minis
ter's home, where she was married to
Foote. Foote brought his bride back to
this city and left her at her home, and
then went to Mount Carmel, where he is
employed. The girl will be sent out of
town pending suit against Foote for
