Two Kinds of Outlaws.

There are two classes of outlaws in society, one of which is shielded by irresponsible party and the other by irresponsible wealth. Aman of the one class has nothing to lose but his personal liberty, and he depends for the safety of that upon stealth and agility. The oth- CT has nothing to lose but honor and respect of good people, and he depends upon the purchasing pow CT of his money to secure him that. The outlaw in poverty does a little mischief by his offerings and burg laries, but it is limited to those who are immediately injured. But the wealthy outlaws wrongs infict dam age of the most serious character up- on whole class. The individual in- jury which he may do is very small compared with the wide devastation which is produced by the reaction against innocent and honorable persons. One would suppose that the instinctive sense of self-preser- vation of the wealthy classes would lead them to recognize in such a man their worst enemy. It is so everywhere else in nature. The growl of the carniverous animal in the jungle will set the horses and all other animals around the bung- allow trembling with terror. They instinctiyely recognize a deadly foe. Cleopatra knew what she was doing when she placed a viper in her bos- om. She intended to destroy her self. She did not do it out of re- gard for the viper-to give 1t com fortabIe quarters Butifshe had, the result would have been the same :: and when wealthy society shelters william, the effect of the poison 1t thus takes into it's blood may be slower in its effects, but it is not less sure. Its action may be con cealed for time, but it cannot be suppressed.-The Interior (Chica- ro |

Jay Gould in Contempt.

New York, March 3.-"Jay Gould," called out the Clerk in Part ? of the General Sessions to- day.
 The crowd in the courtroom turned, expecting to see the Wizard of Wall street, but were disappoint- ed. Mir. Gould, who had been sum- moned forjury duty, did notrespond, and, no one appearing to offer an excuse for absence, Judge Maritime then ordered his name placed on the fine list.
 GOULD IN CONTEMPT.
 Mir. Gould's failure to respond to his name when called is a contempt of court, and is punishable by a fine of $100 and in such other way as the Court in its discretion may deem right and proper, depending upon the seriousness of the ofense. MT. Gould's name was called as a juror in the same court for the June term of 1890. He failed to respond Judge Fitzgerald promptly fined $1O0, which was not collected until six months later.
 According to the records of the court, Mir. Gould has been sum- moned as juror a great many times during the past twenty years, but none of the officers of the court can remember ever seeing him in the building.
 JUDGE MARTINE's VIEWS.
 ''If the Court has reason to be- lieve that a person who habitual- ly absents himself from jury duty when he is summoned is guilty of willful. contempt" said Judge Mar tine to-day, it has power to bring such person before it and impose a penalty much more severe than ordinary fine. Such contempt of court would be a serious matter for the offender. In the present case 1 shall only order a fine to be im- posed, and any other proceedings that may be taken in the case will be a matter for future consideration. l am sitting for Judge Cowing at present and may confer with him in regard to the matter"

Rainfall and Population.

RaIHldll dn0 fOPGiatiOH'
 Few people, probably, have given
 much attention to the relation be- tween rainfall and temperature and
 the population of the country.
 Possibly few are interested in know ing what control of volition nature exercises. or care to believe that mpn Is not as independent as he assumes to be in the selection of his habitat. The Census Commits sioner Is an exception to this rule of human indifference as to the causes of settlement here and the absence of settlement there, and points out how obedient to the gen. tie sway of elements is the race of men supposed to be self-assertive and superior to circumstances He informs us that the great propor- ton of population in certain divi- sions of the country is not the re- suit of topographic charm or com mercial convenience so much as the effect of the mean of rainfall temperature throughout the year. His tables prove that the main body of population inhabits the re- zion in which the annual rainfall is between 30 and 50 inches, quite threefourths of the population be- ing found in that range. On either side as the rainfall increases or diminishes population decreases with corresponding grapidity, so that where the rainfall is less than 20 inches, and two-ffths the entire area of the country Is thus unfor- tunate, there is less than 3 per cent of population. The most favored region is that in which the rainfall is between 40 and 50 inches. The density of population in that area is an average of 59 inhabitants to the square mile. As the rainfall in creases above 50 inches there is a steady diminution of population until at 70 there is a percentage of only l2. The most rapid propor- tionai increase of population in the past twenty years has been in the area where the mean rainfall is POI to 30 inches, comprising the eastern portion of the great plains ranging from Texas to Dakota. The in- crease has been from 1.6. to 0.1, The report gives the average of the annual rainfall for the United States as 296 inches. The average an nual rainfall with relation to the population, deduced by giving weight to each area of the country in proportion to the number of its inhabitants, was, in 1870, 42.5 inches; in 1880, 42 inches, and in 1890, 41.4; the diminution being caused mainly, it is supposed, by the settlement of the great plains and the arid regions of the West. The relation 0t temperature to rain fall is, of course, understood. In the most populous areas the ave- rage of temperature IS from 50 to 55 degrees, more than half the popula- tion living in q temperature between 45 and 55 degrees. Where the ave- rage is greater than 70 degrees only a trifle over 1 per cent of popula- ton is found, The average annual temperature of the United States, Alaska excluded, is 5 degrees.-I Chicago Inter-Ocean.

THE DAIRY.

Cut mp the roots and mix them into
the meal or grain when feeding TO the
COWS.
"A writer in an exchange says truly
that II Is . great deal more profitable
for dairyman TO give away his poorest
cows than to sell his best ones Real
shrcwd dairymen never sell . good COW.
The extra amount of butter that
some small breeds Of cows will make in
lifetime, when compared with some
large breeds, would be enough to buy
the large one well fattened and all have
an eagle or two left in the bargain.
Still many dairymen do not like the
small COW because she makes 50 little
beef.-Farm and Home.
Nearly ne-fourth of the dairy cows
are kept at loss, while one-third are
kept without profit. This makes one
third Of the money invested dead cap
ital. In winter with the best cows and
good feeding about two-thirds Of the
food Is consumed In supporting life.
The profit comes from the other third.
Breed is important in cow, but is not
every thing. With good fcedir ? slight
profit is received. Add one-eighth more
and the profit is doubled. Judicious
feeding does not shorten the life Of q
cow. Give variety of food. Legu-
minous foods, as peas, clover, etc, not
only benefit cattle but the land.-Prof.
C. d. Woods, Connecticut Experiment
Station.
1t is well known that oil is COM
monty used incidentally in cases Of con-
sumption in persons. 1t has been
proved that diet largely consisting of
cotton-secd oil has been effective in the
treatment and cure Of this disease.
Why may it not be beneficial to use this
oil in the shape of cotton-seed meal
more largely than heretofore as food
for the cows In dairics where the whole
effort is to draw out the last drop Of fat
from the system to enrich the milk?
Raw cotton-seed oil is cheap enough to
use as food, and il fed with the bran SO
literally used it would reduce the pro-
portion of heterogeneous elements in tho
food and increase the fats.-Henry
Stuart.
Some owners Of cattle are foolish
enough to imagine that because their
kline get along without regular supply
of salt, it is unnecessary to give it to
them. This is great mistake. Cattle
can worry along without salt, but ex-
perience shows that they are much
more thrifty with than without it.
The Germans have proverb that ''onc
pound of salt makes ten pounds Of
meat" Whether this be literally true
or not, there can be no doubt whatever
that cattle are healthier and more COM
Portable with due supply Of salt. In
well-ordered diaries piece Of rock salt
is kept within reach of every cow, 50
that she can get a taste of it when yer
she lilxes.-Examiner.
