McDougalls' non-poisonous sheep DIP and
cattle dressing, scab specific and insect ex-
terminator on sheep, cattle, horses, dogs,
In this county for several years. 1t instantly
exterminates all ticks, lice and maggots; is
the only true specific for scab, and finely
stimulates the growth of the fleece, making
its use very profitable. When used at a
special strength it also waterproofs the fleeces,
thus affording the animals great protection
from cold and wet. In the United States,
Great Britain and many places abroad it is
now generally adopted-havng to large
extent displaced the use of tobacco, arsenic,
lime and sulphur, and poisonous mixtures.
1t has important advantages over such dress

BY the death of Senator Hearst of
California, the Republican majority in
Congress will be increased hy one !;
for although senator Hearst was
Democrat the Legislature Of California
which elects his successor il Republican,
hence will send Republican to the
Senate. In none of the obituary notices
of Senator Hearst which We have seen
has any mention been made of his wide
~ know and magnificent library, which
he has for many years been building
up ut his San Francisco home. His love
of racing and the description of his
celebrated running horses have been
described in full, aud il is but lust that
the other and far more commepdable

also be spoken of. Upon the purchase
of rare books he spent princely fort

marts of the world on constant look

Iearst's agent paid over $1,000 for a

the credit of the late senator that while
all accounts speak of him as a man who
through life exhibited the evidences of

~ n Suo Fle3S8uteoB OF SOCIAL E00o-
tions-Ths Afternoon Reception.
There is in the social panorama no more
pleasant Ieaturethan the informal after
noon reception which, beginning with cup
Of tea ut s O'Clock for the family and any
chance guests, has expanded into the card
reception at that hour, or the season at
home where, on astated day Of each week,
the hostess is at home to her friends, and
easily accessible to strangers whomay wish
to make her acquaintance" Lillian Whit
ing. writing of this informal occasion in
the Chicago Inter-Ocean, says:
It tends to social ease, and il a near
friend Of the hostess wishes, at the last
moment, to take with her guest, when
there is not time to ask special permission,
the elasticity Of the occasion permits her
to do so. 1t is Il privilege to be used with
delicacy aud discrimination. indeed, but
on general principles it is one seldom
abused. A rigid exclusivenesss is no dong
er the "vice of the virtuous," but rather a
fine inclusiveneSs that has its basis in
spiritual grayitation. Whatever belongs to
society shall come to its own. Whatever
does not belong will fall away of its own
dead weight. 1t is encouraging to note
that more anu more social gatherings rely
for enjoyment on conversational inter
course, and the hostess d es not feel
Obliged to provide amusement in the way
OF recitatinns, music or readings. Thehigh-
er theorder'of society the more.capahle it
is of njoying that highest art of life-con-
versation. To dooma gathering of bright
people to silence and attention to some
parior performer, whether of music<Hreci
tation. is anything but the zine .artsof en-
tertaining. The people who have some
thingto say arc always gratiGed with the
opportunity forzsaying it. and furthh the
informal afternoon -nsngption is charm

The greatest hindrance to the export
trade in live cattle is the regulation OF
the British Government requiring that
all American cattle shall be slaughtered
on the docks within period Of ten days
after they are landed. This prevents
the owner from holding them until
they can recover from the effects
Of the voyage and until the market
il In the best condition for sell
ing. Canadian cattle, which are
allowed to enter England without any
restrictions, are said TO yield the ship
per from $40 TO SIS per head more than
can he realized from steers shipped
from the United States. The effect Of
this difference in returns is very
marked, both upon our trade and upon
the market value of cattle In the United
States. II our shippers were able to
secure SO or SIS per head more for
their animals It would of course stimulate
the trade, and they would be able to pay
nearly that amount more for steers pur-
chased in this country. Such an ad-
vance in the price of export cattle would
have strong tendency to increase the
price of all other kinds of stock. In
this respect, then, the removal OF the
restrictions would be of the very great
est advantage to American cattle raisers.
