Sol Miller has been looking into the
following theory and has arrived at
the conclusion that food which has
been properly assimilated by one animal
will afford very little nourishment for
another. He questions the possibility
of fattening steer and hog in sue
cession on the same grain. Will some
experienced stockman settle this point?

SUBSTITUTE FOR WAX.
An Extensive deposit of OEocsrIts Re
Gently Found In Utah.

An Extensive Deposit of OEocsrIts Re
Gently Found In Utah.
A carload Of Il peculiar mineral ar
rived in this city a few days ago. Il
was ozocerite, or mineral wax, and it
came from Utah. Until recently this
substance has not been known to exist
In any quantity except in Moldavia aud
in Galicia. Austria. Three years ago,
however, a deposit Of the queer sub
stance was discovered on the line of
the Denver & Rio Grande railroad,
about ia miles east Of Salt Lake City.
The mine is known To owe at least
$50 acres, and over 1000 tons per year
can now be produced.
Ozocerite resembles crude beeswax ia
appearance. and can DO used for nearly
all purposes for which wax is en-
ployed. 1t is now largely used in the
manufacture OF waxed paper. 1t en-
enters into the composition OF several
brands of shoe polish. Mixed with
paratfine. it produces an excellent
grade Of candles. One Of the largest
fields Tor the new material is the in
sulatiou OF electric wires. IL Is claimed
that o~zocerite is preferable to any sub
stance previously employed for this
purpose. As the mineral wax comes
out Of the ground in condition TO be
Used without refining. unless it Is re-
quired for somee special purpose. it is
much cheaper than the product OF the
honey bee, and is evidently destined to
be extensively used in the future

a Grow That Kept Bar.

Out in Monroe County. Miss, the
crows have lately made themselves
obnoxious by their persistent invasion
of the corn fields. A man who had
been hired to watch a particularly
promising field and inform these birds
that il vas against the rule to pick up
any thing therein, bethought himself
how he could make a soft thing" OF
it for himself and at the same time
meet the requirements OF his contract.
Finally. by q beautiful instinct, he hit
upon the plan of soaking some corn in
whisky and placing it in the field, so
that the crows would eat it and get
drunk, and thus enable him to have q
sure aud easy thing of killing them.
He had tried the shotgun, but crows
smell powder a long way. After SOAK
ing some cor over night he put a good
supply in the field next morning. and
in two or three hours went out TO see
how things went on. One of the crows
a little larger than the rest had taken
possession of nearly all the corn, and
built himself a bar out OF some clOds
Of earth, and was retailing the whisky
soaked corn to the other crows, charg-
ing them three grains OF sprouted for
one soaked grain. The man thought
the whole proceeding SO human that
he killed not a crow, but came back to
the house and took 4 "nip' himself.

GERMAN FAMILY LIFE.
The Relations of Misssess aud Maid and
PnrrnIH and Children.

The Relations of Misssess aud Maid and
Parents and Children
The life of German servants is very
hard, their wages are small. their food
is not rich, aud their masters are very
eXacting. With all this. however, they
share in the happiness OF their en-
ployers far more than do those here,
and this alone does more to keep them
ut home than the prospect Of high
wages does To call them away.
The real children come in for Il treat
ment almost as severe as that OF u SOL
der, but here, of course, the love Of
the parent is vastly more powerful
than the b~enevolence of the military
superior.
The parent most keenly realizes that
SchOOl-training is the foundation Of
nearly all future progress, and watches,
therefore, carefully Over the child's
work. He hears the child recite his
lesson before going OH in the morning,
and the greatest interest Ia the
reports from school. The schools of
Germany being nearly all day schools,
the children and their parents are very
much together, aud there are therefore
many opportunities for the child to
absorb lessons of a moral and intel
lectual kind in the most natural way.
The school work being to the child of
great interest, and the parent knowing
from day to day the progress made,
nothing is easier than for them TO dis
ppSa tho uyprL. nT Tho Iuu In that, ,ualIr,
In this way the parent can smooth
away many Of his boys difficulties, and
make his studies even more attractive.
The family circle of an evening is in
Germany u picture of happiness. one
where each is able to contribute some
thing to the entertainment of all.
Music takes, of course, first rank. and
hard. indeed, would it be to find q
family of even very narrow means
where this accomplishment was not
cultivated. Some OF the children play
on an instrument-piano. either, violin
or guitar; all will sing. The family
room is the largest room OF the house.
where the sewing is done in the day
time, where meals are served. and
where the family congregate for an
hour or two's diversion before bed
time.
On anniversaries q family celebra-
bration is always arranged. The
youngest tot recites q few lines; an
other Of six performs on the piano; q
third reads a essay relating to the
festive occasion; the next, perhaps,
has a violin obligato; this will be fol
lowed by a song; a more ambitious
piano piece will succeed, and the even
ing close with some Latin verses, or an
Grafton by the learned one Of the
family. Each one brings his share to
the family entertainment, and NO one
is allowed to admit that he or she can
do absolutely nothing to entertain
others
In this manner Germans of small
means, but with good education, make
their lives happy. give pleasure TO their
children and pave the way for a sue
cessful career when they come into in
dividual or intellectual competition
with men Of other countries. -Poult-

HISTORY OF SEALS.
Their Origin and Use on OmoihI Docu-
meuts and Papers.

Their Origin and Use IN Oh1oIhl Docu~
ments and Papers.
A seal is an impression III wax or
any soft substance made from "a die of
metal or other material. The stamp
with which the impression is given is
the Bible to seals. aud they are found
in very ancient Remains from Egypt.
Assyrih and Babylon. The use Of the
seal yassed from the East to Greece.
and thence to Rome. and has been
common in all the European States.
With most of the ancient nations the
seal was placed In "a ring, whence
''annulus" came to be- "a Latin name
for a seal. The ancient seals were al
ways in circular form. but they APP
peared later in other forms. The de-
vice and form Of old seals Indicate
partly their periods. SO that the study
OF ancient seals is All important branch
of archaeology. The Egyptians kept
the impression III u kind OF clay;
while wax wa used by the Greeks and
Romans. The Byzantine Emperors used
All impression in lead and sometimes
in silver and gold. Colored wakes
we're not made till about the ninth
century, and then only emperors and
kings might use red wax. Green wax
was used in medieval times by ecclesi-
astical houses and by municipali-
ties. Blue seals are very rare,
and Charles V. OF Germany, is
said TO have been the only European
monarch who used this color. Certain
Bishops and grand masters Of sacred
orders sealed in black. Private persons
commonly used yellow wax. The most
ancient mode of sealing was probably
that of applying the wax directly to
the parchment. When the instrument
was written upon two or more leaves,
an incision was made In them in tho
form of u cross, on which the wax was
stamped, 80 a to hold all together.
The seal was also sometimes placed on
the ends of strips OF parchment run
through the several sheets. this being
almost necessarily the case when the
seals were of metal. Seals were not
much Used In England in ~Anglo-Saxon
times, but they came into general use
after the Norman conquest; Edward
the Confessor, however. first adopted
q great seal for England. About the
thirteenth century sealing became in
England a legal formality, necessary
to the Authorization Of a deed. Indeed,
the seal itself served to make the deed
valid without Il signature, but in
Charles ii. g time a law WAS passed re-
curing that certain documents should
also be signed. The old common law
definition of y seal is that given by
Lord Coke as ''wax with an impress
sion" but it has long been held that a
wafer or other tenacious substance on
which an impression a be made may
serve the purpose OF u seal. In many
Of the States Of this country neither
wax, wafer, nor any other substance is
required, q scroll or ring made with
the pen in imitation Of the seal or AZ
marking its place. having all the valid
ity of the more formal application.
The Significance Of the seal as now
used in law Is that 1t implies a deliber-
ate and fully considered act on the
part of him who affixes it.--Chicago
