You may quote me o. saying that

though the democrats seem IN haze

The fact that the democratic senatorn

sion of the legislature will nat heneflt
or injure either party, In my opinion.
Indeed, I think the effect Of the legls

The Colors OF Horses.

Savage q Farnum OF Michigan, the
widely known breeders of Percheron
horses, in answer to questions asked by
the editor of the Rural New Yorker, give
the following views regarding the pow
ers of vigor and endurance of white or
gray horses:
There is 10 question iu our minds but
that white or light-colored animals will
stand both heat and cold better than
animals of darker colors. This, we
believe, Is generally conceded. Then
again, as Is well known, the great Mes
senger, the fountain head of the trottiug
horse of America. was white horse,
vet an animal of extraordinarily fine
constitution. He was imported from
England in sailing vessel and
was very long time on the voy-
age. In the same vessel number
OF other horses of all colors were brought
over. but Messenger, the white horse
was the only one out of all the number
that did not require help and care in de-
barking from the vessel, because their
long voyage and confinement between
decks had weakened the others. On the
other hand, the white horse came ashore
full of courage and it is recorded of him
that he carried two dsrkies. one hang
ing to each side of his bits. the distance
of half block up the hill when he left
the ship. A large proportion of the
finest Arab horses are white and
many of the best families of English thor
onghbreds are descendants of white Arab
horses. Jeanle Blanc (John the Whisel
the great Psrcheron stallion that stood az
the Stud stables of Pin in ls20, was as
white as snow, aud no one will question
his stamina or enduring qualities or hi-
ability to transmit these properties to bis
offspring. We could cite many more
eases, but We think the above are suffi-
Client, at least as far as horses SO. AMI
mails and birds of the extreme north are
white or ligh'-eolored and are necessarily
the most hardy of their kind.

Bravery OF Sparrows.

Captain Holzworth. of Cleveland, tells
a curious story of intelligence and brave
nv exhibited by a flock of sparrow>.
The cat belonging to his house was in
the habit of capturing one of the birds
to satisfy her own appetite. while the
Captains wife fed the sparrows with
crumbs. This was not practiced many
times before the willy little birds took
precautions sgatnst further depredation-
by constant lookout, all flying in body
on the first indication Of a spring from
Tabbv. At last, Que day, after
she mad been frustrated by this ma
npuvre and sat patiently awaiting the
return of the birds. they held a conven-
ton on the fence. conducted, like many
human conventions, with much unintel
ligible chattering. and resumed their re-
past. After the cat had become satisfied
that they were too much engrossed in
eating to notice her, she made another
spring. The birds were up In an instant.
and, instead of flying away AS usual, they
formed themselves into hollow square.
and charged upon the foe. Some
got upon the cats back, and
scratched and pecked with all their might,
others flew right into her face while the
balauce chased her The eat was so sur
prised at first that she stood. unable
to move. The birds became more and
more Infatuated, aud fought so savagely
that they drove the foe down the garden
path on II full gallon and under the barn.
They returned to their feast, and were
left unmolested the rest of the winter,
the cat keeping at safe distance whenever
they appeared. G{ereiasd LeMier.

The State Convention gave striking evil

also Of the fact that the Republican policy

Aroostook Pomona Grange.

Aroostook Pomona Grange met at the
Exhibition building at Presque Isle on
Thursday, June 10Th. Though the day
opened rainy the earnest members OF the
order were early on hand and some
members from the most distant Oranges
were at the Hall even before the build
ing was opened. The routine business
of the forenoon being performed, a
bouutiful dinner was spread in the lower
story of the large building and a happy
company did ample Justice to the good
things provided. This being the sum
mer meeting no regular programme
was provided and after confering the 9TH
degree the remainder of the afternoon
was devoted to general love feast.
Reports were heard from the several
oranges and the condition of the order
In the county proved to be most satisfac-
tory. Stirring speeches were made by
many members, every moment of the
time being fully occupied, and when the
time for closing came all felt that the
meeting had been one of the most inter-
esting ever held by the Pomona Grange.
The wool committee gave notice that they
would be ready to receive wool from
all the Oranges at the X X. station at
Presque Isle. on Saturday June 18th.
A large amount of wool will be massed
ut that time and unless satisfactory
offer is made for it the committee will
ship it to Boston. The patrons were re-
guested to keep accurate account of
experiments with commercial fertilizers
in order that the committee on fertiliz-
ers might have some data to guide them
in their action next season. Ii is hoped
that by cooperation in purchasing, a
large saving may be made next year in
the expense of fertilizers. 1t was voted
to meet with Green Ridge Grange on
Tuesday, July s. The thanks of the
Grange were presented to Perham and
Castle Hill Oranges for invitations ex-
tended, which will be excepted in turn

Electricity Taking the Place OF Steam

Prof. Elihu Thomson. in speaking on
''rhe Problems of the Future SAYS {:
''ln the near future railways will he run
by electricity; not the small roads.
mean. but really the largo ones connect
ing cities. and there il no reason why
We should not expect higher speeds
than We can attain at present
with steam locomotives There We
have reeiprocating parts that must
be put in motion, stopped. and
reversed continually, while in the
electric locomotive we have the sim
pie rotary motion. which Is all
We need, which makes 1t posi-
BILE accordingly to run at much higher
rste OF speed. Although the steam loco
motive has been very SnucA improved.
yet it can hardly compare With the econ
omy of stationary engines, placed where
they can have an abundant water supply
for condensing purposes We can,
therefore, by employing stationary en-
gines and electric roads, do away with a
great deal Of unnecessary weight, and the
moving parts being symmetrical. we
can attain a much higher speed, say a
hundred miles an hour. This would be
grand step forward. which would save
Us great deal of time. IL might even
be possible to reach Il speed Of 100 miles
