of fortune of about Sl35, 600 after hav-
ing abducted her, she having refused

Whether it would pay to warm
water for other stock may be ques-
tionable, but it certainly pays to warm
it for cows. They are encouraged to
drink more. Their food being thor
oughly moistened, digcsts better, and
their stomachs are not so chilled SO as
to arrest digestion, as they are sure to
be if ice-cold water is given. 1t is
possible that warming the water may
encourage the cow to give so much
milk as to reduce her own flesh. But
that is an evil that no daring man
who really understands his business
need fear. 1t is the cows business to
give all she is capable of giving, and
it is his duty to supply her with what
ever is needed to keep her in good
and supply all the materials
for the milk she produces.--[E Tx.

Paper Horseshes.

There has been invented a paper
horseshoe to be made of parchment
paper specially prepared to absolutely
resist moisture, and which it Is pro-
posed to fasten on with cement in
stead of nails. Probably the time of
"every man his own horseshoer" is at
hand. 1t is claimed that the paper
shoe does not wear smooth like iron,
lasts much longer, expands and con-
tracts more freely with the natural
motions Of the foot, and is in many
ways safer and better than any sort of
metal shoe. 1t is not stated how the
shoe when worn out, or when the foot
has grown as to necessitate removal,
is to be gotten off. If everything else
claimed for the shoes turns out to be
valid, they can be nailed on if the
cement gives trouble. 1t is felt that
there is need for some advance in
the science of horseshoeing, for it is
science, but heretofore nothing sub
stantial has been gained. 1t behooves
every intelligent horsemen to know
how horse should be, and how he
should not be shod. In order TO
know these things the owner must
know the rather simple anatomy Of
the horses foot, a knowledge very
easily acquired, but which, neyerthe-
less, not one horse owner in forty
thousand possesses.-[ National Econo-

Electric Light In the Holy Land.

A decided sensation has been caused
in Jerusalem by the introduction OF
electric light into new and flourish
ing flour mill lately started there. The
building in which the light has been
introduced is near to the supposed site
OF Calvary and close to the Damascus
Gate. 1t need hardly be said that the
Arabs and Jews are much puzzled to
account for light in a lamp in which
there is no oil, and up to the present
time, while gazing with wonder, have
been keeping at respectful distance.

Sheep Husbandry.

Among the notable papers presen-
ted before the Farmers Institute, re-
Gently held at Charlottesville, Va,
was one on sheep husbandry by DR..
j. A. Reid. The institute thereupon
passed a resolution in favor of dog
law. 1t is probable that this resolu-
ton will, like some thousands of its
predecessors, fall upon deaf ears.
Whenever the people mean business
they can have dog law. This sub
ject has its comical side. There has
probably not been an essay written or
a talk made on sheep, within GEN.

The Illinois Miners.

OTTAWA, ILL.,, May 1.-The situation in
mining circles cannot be satisfactorily
digested. At La Sale. Ill, all the min.
ers came out last night, but to-day they
say there is no strike. They clam that
they are simply obliged to take rest
because the rumors of strike have been
the cause Of over production and the
Quitting of the market. The manufac-
turers have all put in large supplies in
anticipation of shutting down. The Att
hieser & Hegler shaft is idle, notwith-
standing the fact that the zinc works,
which use large portion of the output
have not large supply Of coal mined.
The miners are very reticent. At
Streator like condition of affairs exists
with the exception that labor demon
stration was held Beyond few incen-
diary speeches, no claim was made that
there was strike on. The citizens are
uneasy, while the mine operators claim
that comparatively no differences exist
and that the miners will not be idle long.
