Manners al Home.

The subject OF the admirable SER
mon preached by the Rev. DIR. Fales
Of Massachusetts, st st. Johns
Episcopal Church cannot be too
often enforced in the pulpit and IN
the public press. The subject was
the proper behaviour of people in
their own homes.
For people to keep all their polite
ness and eheerfulness for company
and reserve all bad manners aud
frowsn for the domestic circle, is like
the practice of some families who
live in the kitchen and reserve all
the comfortable rooms in the house
for chance visitor.
IL women would receive their
husbands when they come home in
the evening, weary with the toll
and conflicts Of the day, in neat at
tire and with smiling face instead
of receiving them, as many do, IN
a sluggish dress and with a whine
about servants or children or what
not, it would do more to break up
bar-rooms than all the temperance
societies and prohibition legislation
which has never been conceived.
If men would show more sympa-
thy with their wives and treat them
with all the Difference and eonsid-
Grafton they practiced previously
to their marriage, women's faces
would not grow wrinkled and old
and anxious.
And in nothing is politeness more
necessary than in the treatment Of
children. They are sensitive and
impossible, and we cannot expect
children to have good manners if
they are uniformly treoted with
rudeness.
If men and women and children
would be courteous to each other at
home, and do their entire duty by
each other, every hopr of home
life would be bcnedictIon.

The election of Mckinley in Ohio
should serve as q warning to the
Democratic party to decide at cnce
upon its position as to the silver
question. The free coinage plank
was inserted in the platform of the
democratic party of Ohio against
the wishes of majority of
the democrats of the state, and
chiefly to catch the Farmers Ali.
ance vote. How disastrous such a
movement has proved to the party in
Ohio we need only look to the re-
suits of the election to see. Cover
nor Campbell admits that the silver
issue was responsible for his defeat;
the governor himself has always
been opposed to the free coinage of
silver, aud he naturally avoid. d it
as much as possible in his campaign
speeches. The democratic party is
by no means a unit on the silver
question, and the election has shown
the danger of supposing it to be one.
With such men as Campbell and
Cleveland opposed to the free coin
age Of silver, it will be found q
dangerous experiment to adopt it
as plank of the party's platform.
We are all right on the tariff: when
we reach an agreement on the silver
question, even Ohio will fall into
line as state recognizing the wis
dom of the principles of the demo-
cratic party.

BEsr FEED FOR COW.

Can you tell me through The GAZETTE
what would be the best feed for COW TO
make her give rich milk? in other words,
to make her yield much butter. l am a
subscriber to THE GAZETTE, and would be
pleased to have you reply through the pa
per. NJ. w. CROKER.
Gatesville. Tex.
The best ration for COW in such cases,
according to the highest authorities. would
be cotton seed meal and wheat bran put to-
gether in the proportion of one part cotton
seed meal to two parts wheat bran, to be
supplemented by all the ''roughness'' that
the animal would take. When there is
plenty of green pasturage the green trough
ness" will be best, but in winter good hay
will entirely fill the bill. If cut fine the cow
will take it better than in the coarse state.
Some persons sprinkle the hay slightly
with salt and water, which makes the COW
take it with more relish, of course, though
we are not posive that the salt, thus given
regularly, adds anything to the effect.
We cannot tell you exactly how much
cotton seed meal and wheat bran to give at
a meal, owing to the fact that we do not
know what kind of COW you propose feed
ing-some cows requiring more feed than
others. But you will soon be able to settle
that point by personal observation-give
no more than the cow appears to take with
keen relish. Give her all the hay or grass
she will take through the day. Feed the
cotton seed meal and bran regularly three
times day. Such ration as pointed out
will come nearer turning a COW all to milk
and butter than any ration we know Of.

Two LITTLE BOTaNIsTs

We are two little girls and each of US is
eight years old, We are cousins, and our
names are Mary and Ellie. We have seen
in THE GAZETTE where you talk kindly to
little girls like US, so we have concluded to
send you q bouquet, and to ask you to tell
us something about it. The flowers, as
you will see, are just alike, only some are
white and some are red. Some of the
neighborS call them monkey flowers, and
some call them periwinkle flowers. What
horrible names for such pretty flowers, A
periwinkle is a shell, and a monkey-well,
you know what monkey is. Such pretty
flowers ought not to have two such ugly
names, so which one of the two is the cor
rect name-monkey flower or periwinkle
fiower2 MARY AND ELLIE.
Fort Worth, Tex.
Thanks for the bouquet is very pretty.
The plants are now not much called by
either of the ole names given-you will find
them described in all the flower catalogues
under the name of vinca.
There are two species of vinca: Vinca
minor and Vinca major. The specimens
sent are Vinca major, and this species has
been improved into several varieties, by
culture.
Vinca is much the incest name by which
to call it, we think. 1t is the Latin name.
Some Latin names OF plants are so hard as
to scarcely make them desirable for COM
mon use, but this one is not. The accent
is on the first syllable.

THE FINE BUILDING STONES OF
TEXAS.
The Permain Stones-Central Mineral Re-
gtons-Pecos sandstones and
Granburt Limestones.

Continuing this important subject from
last week, we would state that the perrnain
formation of Texas lies Immediately east
of the Staked Plains, between the Staked
Plains and the coal measures. 1t is forma.
ton extremely rich in building materials.
Prof. w. F. Cummins says of it, page 1874.
first annual report Of the state geological
survey, that it contains sandstones and
limestones suitable for building purposes
in great abundance. There is not county
in that formation, as yet exposed, that has
not or could not have number of good,
quarries. 1.-THE sandstones of the Wichita
beds have been used extensively at wichita
Falls and Henrietta. The limestones are
abundant in the Clear Fork beds, and have
been used in several of the towng
situated in that part of the district. lie
quality of the limestone is very suitable
