Mining Suit Compromised,
WonanhOod.

To be a woman is to be the purest and
most noble of Gods creatures; hence
womanhood should be the study of every
yotng girl old enough to realize the i'm
portance of the term true woman.
4 girl should so live that every action
and word will go to prove her womanh0od,
for this only will make her a pure and
noble woman woman fitted for the
drawing-room or the kitchen.
Beauty and style do not make true
woman. No; for some of the most noble
women are the plainest. Beauty is only
skin deep, and is very dangerous thing,
for no gift bestowed upon woman is SO
widely abused.
A woman's real worth is estimated by
the goodness of her heart, the greatness of
her soul and the purity of her character.
Woman who have these attributes make
the best of wives and the truest of moth
ers. Woman is the center of society;
hence how great and how elevated she
should be in order to have the name of
true womanhood. We, as young ladies of
Zion, should hold a steady moral sway
over our male associates. Men love to
trust their love, if you will allow the
term, in the hands of a true woman;
therefore let us begin and make our every
day study that we will be respected by all
good people and be noble daughters of
Zion.-Y Young W0mdn's Journal.

land in the same district, which was
claimed by the railway company to be

They were met at Kensington by large
Receptiop Committee, headed by Major
Cregier and many other prominent citi-
Zens.
An Associated Press representative
showed to the delegates synopsis of Glad

of them read it carefully in turn, but re-
fused to make any comment whatever.
Mr.. Dillon says that when they give an
opinion they wish to do it as united senti-
ment of the entire party, and until such
time will not speak. Timothy Harrington

ton between two such men, and at such a
time.

The Hen and Cow.

'sHens are funny critters" says an old
farmer, "and l have one on my place that
is about the funniest of the lot. A few
months ago she took violent liking for
an old brindle COW of mine. AT first all
she did was to go out to the pasture with
the COW, but after while she began to
Jump on the cows back. For long time
the COW resented this novel arrangement
and indignantly shook the hen off. But it
did not do any good, the hen hoped
right on again, until at last, in sheer de-
spair, the COW philosophically accepted the
situation. She was probably the more in
clined to do so when she discovered, as she
soon did, that Biddy, as much as possible,
kept all insects from annoying her. In
fact, she went even further than that; for
when she discovered that the COW would
like to have her back scratched, she
scratched it in way to make the cow very
happy. AS result of this, the cow soon
began to enjoy the companionship of the
hen, and now when the hen gets off for a
while 10 eat old Brindle is evidently I'M
easy until she comes back again.-Neu

The "Father of His Country,

The title "Father of His Country" was
first applied, according to one historian, to
Cincinnatus, but there is much in the
story altogether mythical and uncertain
1t was undoubtedly applied to Cicero, who
lived from B. G. LOG to B. c. 40, and broke
up the Cataline conspiracy. 1t was given
to Julius Caesar after the Spanish rebel
lion, to Augustus, to Cosmo de Medici,
Andrea Doria and others. Louis XVI,
Henry ". and Louis XVIII. of France
were styled 'Father of the People," as
also was Christian III. of Denmark. The
title Father of His Country" was not the
only one bestowed on Washington He
was styled the american Fabius" from
his cautious policy, and from the fact that
he never won battle, but wore out the
enemy by harrassing campaigns. Lord
Byron, in his ode to Napoleon, styles
Washington "The Cincinnatus of the
West Vittorio Alferi. the Italian dra.
matist, called him the "Deliverer of Amer
ica" He was styled the "Savior of His
Country" by the newspapers of his own
day, "Lovely Georgius" by the British
soldiers, and the "Stepfather of His Coun-
try" by political opponents during his Sec
ond term.-iS. Louis Globe Democl at.

ter WIS made in SO seconds and the half
in 1:05!. II was a splendid performance,
and the horse finished easily. He was
urged lust before reaching the wire with a
light tap of the whip and responded
strongly.
Before the fast mile he was warmed up
in four and half miles.
When Stamboul came on the track it
was apparent that he was in splendid con-
dition. His head was up, and he moved
: it about proudly. as if he was ready 10 do
| his best. Hickok was confident of making
fast mile, and when he saw the official
time he said: What pity it YVES that
couldn't have fished out another quarter
second? But it is in the horse, and he'll
do it YETI
The horse is to be sent home Monday,
and will probably not trot another mile
this season. Harry Whiting drove the
runner, and at Hickok's direction passed
Stamboul twice, which made the stallion
increase his speed. The finish is said to be
the best ever seen on this fast track.

STATE MILITIA.
Steps Should be Taken to Foster Cavalry
Organizations.

WASHINGTON, November 29th.-Captain
Taylor, of the Ordnance Department. in
charge of supplies to the militia, in his an
nual report strongly urges the passage of
the pending bill to promote the efficiency
of the militia. He calls attention to the
disparity in the number between the cavalry
and infantry militia. and says the cavalry
is the most difficult arms to improvise, and
some steps should be taken to encourage
the formation and foster the existing cav
airy organizations in the militia. He
recommends that Congress appropriate for
the placing in each State which has more
than 5 coo organized militia, where stables
and forage are provided at the expense of
the State, Of sufficient horses-not to ex-
coed seventy-fve for each State-to mount
q troop of cavalry. with detachments of
regular cavalry soldiers to care for them
and non. commissioned officers as in
structors.
Captain Taylor speaks of the necessity of
a reserve of horses in our service; also
touches upon The feasibility of a horse census
and legislation to prevent the country being
depleted of animals which may be urgently
needed in the event of war. At present
there is nothing to prevent foreign agents
getting all our available animals, and large
numbers have been shipped out of the
country. The difficulty OF obtaining suit
able cavalry horses has alarmingly in.
creased the past fifteen years. Captain Tay-
lor also urges the passage of bill autho: :
izing the issue to States and Territories OF
field guns to encourage the formation OF
artillery companies.

ORIGIN of the Word Canard

1t is said that this word originated in a
story told by gossiping Frenchman who
had no great regard for the truth. He
had twenty ducks, he said, and knowing
hat the duck is greedy bird, he deter.
mined to see how much his ducks would
eat before they confessed themselves salts
fed. So, at noon one day, ne killed one OF
the ducks, cut him up, head, feet and
feathers, into little bits and fed him to
the other nineteen, who greedily devoured
their companion and clamored for more.
He served another in like manner to the
eighteen remaining ducks; another to the
seventeen, and so on, until, before the sun
went down, but one duck remained, who
had devoured all his brethren and was
still hungry. The aggressive impudence
of this monstrous fabrication caught the
fancy of the Frenchman's countrymen, the
story got into print, and every particularly
herculean falsehood went by the name of a
duck story Hence the word, without
translation, crept into English with the
same significance.

NEW YORK TEN YEARS AGO.
Curious Facts in Regard to the Growth
of the Citv

Curious Facts in Regard to the Growth
of the City.
The New York Sun publishes the fol-
lowing information as to New York now
and as it was ten years ago:
By the census of 1880 the population of
the city of New York at that time was
1908 299. This years census is expected
to show 1875, 800 There has been 10 in
crease of geographical boundaries during
the intervening ten years.
According to the census of ten years ago
the foreign-born population in the city was
then 47S.670. This year it is computed to
be $4,000.
Ten years ago there were in New York
96,402 buildings-houses, stores, hotels,
theaters, stables and public department
buildings. This year there are ia 800
an increase of $4,000. Fony-two thousand
buildings are in the territory north of
Fifty-ninth street.
Ten years ago there were 1000 Hun
garians in New York. Now there are
10000.
Ten years ago there were 5000 Bohe-
mians in the city of New York. Now

Black W alnut.

Black walnut is rapidly becoming ex-
hausted, and there seems to be nothing in
this county to take its place. No other
tree is so valuable. 1t grows rapidly, will
thrive in any soil, and is very hardy, re-
curing little care, because no animal and
but one insect feeds upon it. 1t has a
value but little known, which is that the
European, or French walnut" as it is
called, grows firmly On it and is easily
grated 1t can in that way be made to
Weld fortune if cultivated on a large
scale. In twenty years it will more than
pay all expenses and interest, and in fifty
years the trees would be worth at least
$40. 900 an acre.

KOCH'5 REMEDY.
The Aspersions Cast Upon the Treatment
Prove Groundless.


BERLIN, November 29th.-In the Diet to-
day Minister Won Gossler, replying to in
terpellations, said the aspersions cast upon
certain physicians engaged in using koeh's
lymph had proved groundless. Care had
been taken, he said, to make the remedy
perfectly accessible to the poor. In the
course OF time the preparation of lymph
would be intrusted to competent persons
engaged by the State. There was no good
ground yet to hope that the remedy would
be found efficacious in the treatment of
other diseases than bacillus. A private
gentleman lad given million marks to be
used for the benefit of poor persons suffer
ing from tuberculosis.
Regarding the question of placing the
manufacture of lymph under the exclusive
control of the State, Won Gossler thought
a feeling of satisfaction would be expert
enced throughout the world if Prussia
should set her stamp upon the lymph.
The Government would eventually invite
other nations to send representatives to
study the use of the remedy, in order that
they might apply it in their own countries.
The Ministerial statement, indicating as
it does the intention to prolong the guard
ing of the secret Of the lymph, greatly dis
appoints medical men here.
