Obituary to q Cow.

A writer In the Country Gentle.
man has this appreciatiye sketch OF
faithful milkgiver:
There died on our tarm, short
time ago, cow whose age entitled
her to respect, If nothing more. But
there was something more. She
died at the age of twenty.three years,
six months and fifteen days. She
was born in March, 1866, and died in
September, 1889. She was Il men,
ber of our "household" over seven.
teen years. There was not vicious
streak in her; she was model
mother, and brought up numerous
family in the best of manners. She
was not what might be called hand
some, but not unlike homely folks,
she was dreadful good" She was
a grade, by a prize-taker Jersey bull
which sold when two years old fo- a
large price, to go West. The dam
may have had good parts, but in all
probability to the bull belonged the
qualities of the get. From her
horns to tail she was distinctively
Jersey. a generous milker always,
and of quality that proved her
paternity.
She was persistent milker too.
During the seventeen years that she
lived at our home she went farrow
but one. That was when she went
to the city of New York in "a case of
sickness, to help feed some babies.
When she got through nursing the
children, and saved them in spite
of the doctors, she returned to the
country and resumed the rearing of
her own young. When two years
old, her first calf came. She had
twenty in all, including the last in
her twenty-fourth year. This one,
however, did not survive the process
of weaving. The weather was hot,
the season hnrrying, and there wos
some neglect; but as fine yearling
heifer as stands in the township re.
mains to attest the merits of a pro-
life dam in her twenty-third year.
There are others older, and promis-
ing milkers.
One fact was satisfactorily demon
strated during the lifetime of old
Minnie, and she lived long enough
to prove and disprove many errors.
She was in fact an experimental
COW. To get good stock for milk or
butter, whichever the purpose,
much or most depends on the bull.
In every instance of the service Of a
thoroughbred Jersey from a milking
family, the get was correspondingly
good otherwise, most times indifter.
ent. OF late years, with Jersey bulls
of good strain in our own stables,
there has been no variahleness.
The old dam continued to Craze al
most to the last; but when she got SO
she could not longer lead the herd
afield, and was obliged by defective
sight and faltering step to surrender
the "boss-ship' to favorlte daugh-
ter, her heart failed her; she was
ready to die. So one pleasant morn
ing, surrounded by the family pre-
served to her, with fading view OF
pastures green, and springs perenni.
al, what there was of life in old
"Minnie" went away without sign
of pain or fear, / know not where.
Nor did her flesh become the prey
of bird or beast. There is q hillock
in her feeding-ground.

Wigs Coming Into Fashion.

The craze for wearing wigs among
English women is finding its imitation
among fashionable women on this side
the sea. They assign various reasons
for adopting the custom, among the
most general being the greater CON
venience and durability Of their coifures
over those made up of natural hair.
Women VINO have really fine hair
object to the torturing processes of che
curling.iron and hair-dressers' shears,
now so universally used in arranging
the stylish couture, with its multiplicity
of waves and curls. London women
usually wear wigs the color OF heir
WI hair, so that they need not be con-
fined to the constant wearing OF them
Their chief use seems to be to carry
them to the great balls and house
parties, where it is not always con-
yenient to take a maid. A great many
of them appeared at the recent drawing
room, and, as an event so important as
that would naturally fill the halr-
dressers' parlors with anxious ladies'
and necessitate a great deal of waiting
for service, one can understand the con-
y%enience OF having ones hair sent nome
done up and ready the day before. ID.

Newton, a vigorous mountain town west
of Charlotte, n. c., has a curiosity that

which gained such notoriety in Charlotte
in 1886. 1t is a smoking tree and battles
all efforts at explanation. 1t is a white

sometimes they are several seconds or q

are plausible enough to their authors, but
which carry very little in conviction to the

Wherever Malaria Exists

The bilious are its certain prey. In intermit-

cake the liver is always seriously affected, and
the blood contaminated with bile. One of the
chief reasons why Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
is such a sure defense against chills and feve.

does away with liability. to the disease, by re-

Marat Was Conyictel.

The proof that Marat, the French revo-
iutlonary leader, was really convicted of
theft, has set at rest a long standing con-
troversy. Marat was in England in 1776.
was accused of a theft of old coins, escaped
to Ireland, was apprehended at an
Irish assembly in the disguise of
q German count and was brought
from Dublin by habeas corpus
for trial in England. A contemporary let
ter, describing the asslzes of l776, at which
it was thought that Marat would have been
tried, is silent. The clerk of assize to the
Oxford circuit has at last supplied the
missing link in the evidence by finding that
Marat was convicted at the assizes which
commenced at Oxford on March 5 and
ended on March I. 1877. The delay in the
proceedings IS accounted for by the alb.
sence of the accused in Ireland.

German Engineers, Scheme.

Two German engineers propose to use
three continuous platforms moving along
the streets SIDE ~ side. The lowest of
these platforms is four inches high and
moves at a uniform speed of five feet per
second. Any ordinary pedestrian can, they
state, mount this platform from the
ground without difficulty, and from this he
can with equal ease step on to . second
and moving twice as fast. The passenger
thus acquires a speed of ten feet per Sec
ond, and, stepping onto the third plat
form in the came way, he is carried at a
speed Of fifteen feet per second, or ten
miles an hour, to his destination, where he
steps off in the reverse order.
