LESS than two years from now, one OF
the issues in the election of Assenblyman
will be the return of NJ. S. Quay to the U.
S. Senate, and one of the strange features
of the campaign will probably be that
Cameron and his agents all over the state
will be against Quay, and it will appear
that Cameron has already selected some
other political rooster, like Chris. Magee OF
Pittsburg. for his colleague.

Justice in japan.

FL. H. Hubbell, a New York tourist
who is at the Richelien, says that Japan
csc justice as dealt out in some sections
of the country has the effect of making
business in the courts very dull. aWe
were at a little place called Akilas, "
said Mr.. Hubbell, .swhere we called
upon the chief magistrate and asked per-
mission to see the administration oil
japanese justice. He told us to call at a
certain hour next day and we came very
gladly. The magistrate ordered a pris-
oner to be brought in with the prose
eutor and witnesses. The culprit was
charged with stealing two yen, about
SI.60.
"tWhat have you to say2a asked the
magistrate.
1.-THE prisoner stole my money,
answered the prosecutor.
asWhat do the witnesses say2' in
quired the magistrate.
utI saw him in the act, was the reply
of each one.
aThen the magistrate said to the pris-
oner: -Four weeks imprisonment fol-
stealing, | will send the prosecutor tt
jail one week for not being smart enough
to keep his own money, and sentence
the witnesses for the same time for not
mfnding their own business. - hscGgs

nApLY EpucArEp CALVES.

Much of the trouble in diaries due to
vices in COWS is attributable to the bad
education of the calves. The training
Of the calf should begin before it has
got upon IFS feet. It should be wrapped
in a sack and carried away to a comfor-
table pen at a distance from the COW.
To prevent its recognition of the dam is
the first step to make a docile calf. It
relieves the COW from a source of much
nervous excitement, to which quite often
an attack of milk fever is due.
The COZ is left in quiet, In a dark,
lone pen if possible, for a few hours,
when the acceptable meal OF warm bran
or oatmeal Cruel is given having a pint
Of moIasses in it. This is laxative and
nutritious and settles the COW to a COM
Portable rest for a few hours, after which
she is MIXED and the milk is at once
fed to the calf. A little patience will
suffice to teach the calf its first lesson,
which is to drink the milk, and then a
second one is given. This is to have a
strap around its neck and to be tied in
the pen. It will lie down and sleep
quietly until the next milking time,
which will be in twelve hours, when it
will need a little more patient teaching
to drink its next meal. BY continuing
such treatment the young thing will soon
learn to drink, and the ninth meal
should be of warm, sweet SKINNED milk.
To make . good calf its milk should be
given warm as long as milk is given to
it, which may be three or four months.

WISE WORDS.

Repentance never comes too late, II 1t

A LONG TAIL ON cow.

W. II. Seeley, Of Kalamazoo, Mich, a
dairyman of long experience. says: aI
know of no physiological reason why a
long tail is a good sign in a dairy cow,
but / do know that all our best cows
have Them" Mfr. J. B. Knapp, of Port
land, Ore, gave a corresponding opinion
in the airyman not long ago. The Hol-
landers for hundreds OF years have OBJ
served that their most promising and
long-milking cows had long tails. Hence
it becomes a settled thing with them that
the tail should extend at least below the
hook. The Dairgman says: aThe long
tail is an indication Of nerve power. and
that is a thing that is always to be de-
sired in a cow It is equivalent to what
we call the staying power in a race

The Worst Smell in the World.

NM. Baaman and Fronm, expert
menting in Freiburg, Bresgau, on the
organic derivations of sulpaur, caused
hydrogen sulphide to act upon acetone.
They obtained trithio -acetone AMI q new
compound, n~on-volatile and crystalline.
and at the same time a very volatile sub
stance was given off, to whose odor all
the most ill-smelling substances hitherto
known were as altar of roses. The dis
coyerers think this gas is monosul-
phureted @acetin, but they have yet been
unable to isolate it. Their efforts in
that line, although they used the most
perfect apparatus at their command to
prevent the escape of the smallest guam

storm Of protest from the whole city.

ROADS AND

The Alabama Agricultural Expert,
ment Station at Auburn has issued an
interesting bulletin on this subject from
which the following extracts are taken:
AS al unnecessarily long road would
increase the cost of construction, the cost
of repairs, and the cost Of time and labor
IN travelling over it, it should, other
things being equal, be perfectly straight,
but straightness should always be sac
riiced to obtain level or make the road
less steep. This is one of the most i'm
pcrtant principles to be observed, and
yet is most often violated. Roads should
be made to curve sometimes for economy.
In construction, such as TO avoid swampy
or bad ground, Or to avoid large exca-s
vations, or To reach points on streams
better suited for the approach Of bridges.
Besides its substantial advantages, the,
gently curving road is much more pleas
ant to the traveller, for he is not IA
tigued BIZ the tedious prospect of d long
straight stretch to be traversed, but is
met At each curve By q constantly varied
view.
The proper width for q road depends
Of course upon the Importance and the
amount of travel upon 1t. The least
width to enable vehicles to pass is as
snmed at sixteen and half feet. In Eng
land the width of turnpikes approaching
large towns is sixty fees. Ordinary turn-
pixies are thirty-6ve feet vide, and or.
binary carriage roads across the country
are given a width of twenty-five feet. In
France the roads vary In width from
sixty-six feet to twcnty-slx feet, and all
have the middle portion ballasted with
stone. I'd New York all public roads are
laid ont BY the Commissioners Of High
wars and are not less than three rods
wide between fences, and no more OF
them need be worked or formed into a
surface for travelling than IS deemed
necessary.
The drainage Of a road b. suitable
bitches IS one Of the most important ele-
ments. All attempts al improvement are
useless till the water is thoroughly got
rid of. These bitches are sunk to q depth
Of about three feet below the roadway,

which may pass through the surface Of

A Days Labor Among Various Nations

q uOEll0 SELVGUb U4 D4das-AVSVVfS SV~t
A Days Labor Among Various Nations.
A Turkish working day lasts from
sunrise to sunset, with certain intervals
for refreshment and repose.
In Montenegro the day laborer begins
work between five and six in the morn
ing, knocks off at eight for half In hour,
works on till noon, rests until two, and
then labors on until sunset. This is in
summer. In winter he commences work
at half past seven or eight, rests from
twelve to one and works uninterruptedly
from that time to sunset. The rules re-
speeting skilled labor are theoretically
the same, but considerable laxity pre-
walls in practice.
In Servia the principle is individual
convenience in every case.
In Portugal from shutdown to sunset is
the usual length of the working day.
With field laborers and workmen in the
building trades the summer working day
begins at half-past four or five in the
morning and ends at seven in the even
ing, two or three hours rest being taken
in the middle of the day. In the winter
the hours are from nalf-past seven to
five, with a shorter interval of repose.
In manufactures the rule is twelve hours
in summer and ten in winter, with an
hour and a half allowed for meals.
Eleven hours is the average days work
in Belgium, but the brewers men work
from ten to seventeen hours, brickmakers
sixteen; the cabinet makers of Brussels
and Client are often at work seventeen
hours a day tramway drivers are on duty
from fifteen to seventeen hours; with an
hour and. half at noon; railway guards
sometimes know what it is to work nine
teen and a half hours at a stretch, and In
the mining districts women are often
kept at truck loading or similar heavy
labor for thirteen or fifteen hours.
The normal work day throughout
Saxony is fifteen hours, with two hours
allowance for meal taking. In Baden
the medium duration of labor isfrom ten
to twelve hours, but in some cases it fal
exceeds this, often rising to fifteen hours
in stoneware and china works and cotton
mills, in saw mills to seventeen hours
while the workers in the sugar reineries,
where the shift system is in vague, work
twenty-four hours; and in too many oil
the Baden factories Sunday work is the
rule. In Russian industrial establish.
ments the difference in the working
hours is something extraordinary,
varying from six to twenty. 1t is re-
markable that these great divergences
occur in the same branches of industry
within the same inspectors district, and
among establishments whose produce
J realizes the same market price.-Ciacm
