a rough estimate puts the number OF
cattle in Brazil at %, 900, 900 head. The

two hundred years ago and probably
have the same origin as the native cat
tie OF Mexico, Texas and California.
They are large, muscular animals, bet

value of Green Manures.

In the Experiment Station Record
the results of experiments to determine
the fertilizing value of green manures
are considered. The fertilizing value
of green crops is found to be proper
toned to the readiness with which
their nitrogen is changed to nitric acid
Dried blood and sulphate of ammonia,
two active heterogeneous fertilizers, and
a green growth of lupines were used as
fertilizers, and the growths resulting
from this fertilization compared. On
heavy soils the lupines proved much
the best fertilizer, the reason for which
seems to be that they kept the soil
lighter and looser, allowing freer cir

The Feeling IN the West.

There is doubtless something in the
theory that the Impotence shown by
many of the younger republican SEN
ators from the west at what they stig-
Matte as the ''dictation" of the '!old
fogies'' from the east had its share of
influence in Fastening Mr.. Edmunds'
withdrawal from public life. There is
no doubt of the existence of a strong
and growing sectional feeling of this
sort throughout the west, without re-
gard to party lines 1t finds expression
in the growing frequency of the re-
mark that there is really not half so
much in common between the west and
the east as there is between the west
and the south, and that an alliance be-
tween the two latter sections would be
of far greater advantage to the west
than further submission to what is de-
nounced as the tyranny of the east ="
The younger republican senators from
the west are SO full of this idea that
they hardly conceal their intention to
make trouble for the eastern fossils, IS
as they call them. IN. Y. Post.

poke. a fancy little purse she whis-
pered to Percy: II have somehow formed
the opinion that limerick was not his
real name. but the only clew which l
have to any other is contained in this
little package Here she drew some
thing carefully wrapped in tissue paper
from her purse and handed it to Percy.
..Do not examine it 1ow," she said.
Look at it some other time" Percy
slipped it into his pocket. In few
minutes he left the house an, stepped
into a carriage with the Colonel
About two hours later one would not
have recognized in the Mr.. Huntly,
who walked toward the custom-house
building, the dirty, ragged-looaing
tramp who was so rudely thrust from
the hotel. The change of dress, to-
getner with a neatly-trimmed beard,
made all the difference in the world,
and Percy Lowell was once more Mr..
Huntly. Under these conditions it
was not difficult for Percy to make
himself known, and with the assistance
of his newly-found friend, Colonel
Brandon, he was soon in possessionoof
his own clothing, and was able once
more to jingle the nimble and necessary

but no one seemed sufficiently interest
ed in him to demand a complete history
of his adventure. Buenos Ayres is
happily free from the inquisitorial
pests which so often defeat the ends of
justice by their ill-timed interviews. -
Consequently Percy left the city with
out a word being sent to the outer
world to announce his temperance in
the land Of the living. 1t was FORUM
ate thing that such was the case, for 1t
gave him the chance to follow up the
trail with greater certainty of overtak-
ing the man for whom he was search
ing.
He lost no time preparing to shake the
dust of Buenos Ayres from off his feet,
and in few days he was bound for New
York over precisely the same route
which the object of his pursuit had taken
a few months before.
In an inside vest pocket of his travelling
suit he had placed the little package
which Belle Lorimer had given him, but
it never occurred to him to examine It.
There it lay and did not see daylight
during the whole of the voyage.
Upon arriving at New York he pro-
ceeded at once to the house in Gramercy
Park, but was surprised, on applying
for admission, to find that his friends
were no longer living there. He in
quired whittier they had gone and was
told that they had left for Europe.
Again he found himself aimless1y

this time he was better prepared for an
emergency and walked only to get an

RETIREMENT OF Mr.. EDMuNDs
Probable Reasons for the Vermont Sena-
tors Action.

Senator Edmunds retires from public
life in his prime. He is but sixty-three,
Or twelve years younger than Senator
Palmer, who is just beginning his pub
lie career anew. The Vermont man is
no invalid. His sturdy frame is well
preserved in alcohol and might easily
weather another score of years. Nor
has he lost his grip on his constituency.
No man in Vermont may presume to
question his supremacy. What, then.
are the personal reasons" which Mr..
Edmunds alleges for his retirement?
Most probably they are personal rea-
sons only in Pickwicl1ian sense Ed
munds is too discerning a man not to
see that his grip has gone. He is a
bourbon of bourbons, a centralizer, an
oGgarchist, a despiser of the people.
His ideal of government could be real
lied only in the total subjugation of the
states to an autocratic federal power.
He saw government" as it best suited
him in the electoral infamy of 1876, all
of which he saw and part of which he
was.
This ideal is still worshiped in the
back districts of Vermont and by the
back numbers of Mr.. Edmunds' party.
1t no longer commands the respect of
progressive Americans. 1t is no longer
in fashion at Washington. Senator Ed
munds knows this and has wisely deter
mined to withdraw from public life be-
fore the prestige won by his genius is
entirely obscured by the incoming or
der of things.-Chicago Post.

SOUEAKS LIKE SHRiEKS.
The Appalling Groans of Wooden-Axled
Bullock Carts In the Azores.

The Appalling Groans of WOoden-Axled
Bullock Carts in the Azores.
g Passing through the villages in the
harvest time is frequently matter of
picking ones way daintily among large
linen sheets spread with the maize grain
or beans which it is the habit of the cot
tagers to dry out in front of their
houses, writes bicyclist Osbert How
arth, describing his trip to the Azores
The task is further complicated by the
presence of stray babies, fowls and dogs
ad infinitum.
In the midst of his efforts to steer
clear of all these, the riders ears will
be greeted now and again with the APP
palling shrieks and groans of some bull
lock cart loaded to the skies with rip
ened maize. Huge wooden axles run
ming in wooden bearings without lubri-
cation, create a din which is often audi
bic for miles, and at close quarters is
absolutely stunning.
l inquired into this theory of friction
with some curiosity, and was informed
that the familiar tune is so soothing to
the bovine ear that the animals would
decline to work without it. Neverthe-
less, it is suppressed by law in passing
through the towns where grease is de
rigueur.
The bullocks are harnessed with a
frightfully burdensome yoke of timber
on the neck, and are commonly driven
four-in-hand, if one can use the term
where the steering apparatus consists of
a rope round the horn of the leader.
A very brief experience shows that
abundant time must be given to effect a
safe passage of such team in narrow
quarters, for the bullock mot to men.
ton his driver will commonly stare
with mute surprise until ones pilot
wheel is under his nose before it occurs
to him to make way.-Outing.

GREENLAND ICE SAILING,
How DIR. hansen Travelled with Sledyee
and Snow-Shoes Over Inland Ice.

How DIR. hansen Travelled with SIedgea
and Snow-shoes Over Inland Ice.
DR.. hansen, the intrepid explorar, in
his account of his adventurous Journey
across Greenland, tells how his party
carried all their stores on two light
sledges drawn by hand. Each sledge
with its load weighed about two hun
dred pounds
On the inland ice, when the wind WAC
favorable. they could, by rigging up
sails for the sledges out of the WALL
pieces and roofs of their tents, get their
loads transported without labor, and
sometimes with great swiftness.
The explorer speaks with much en-
thusiasm of the Norwegian Skis"
which he wore on all his snow journeys
The ski is wooden footgear,
feet long, 3s4 inches wide at its broadcast
part, CURING upward toward the front.
The ''skilober" puts his toes into
leather receptacle like the fore part of
boot, and buckles strap round the
back of the heel, allowing the heel to
rise freely.
With pair of skis" he can skid over
moderately firm snow at the speed of
seven, eight or nine miles an hour on
level ground, and fears not to rush down
steep hills with amazing swiftness or
60 perform amazing leaps--N. Y. Jour

REPUBLICAN, METHODS.
Gross NIismanagement of the Government
Printing Office.

Printing Once.
Between now and the meeting OF
congress next December over 100000
public documents will have been
turned over to the folding room of the
house Of representatives to be delivered
to ex-members Of congress.
The most extensive machinery for
waste maintained by the government
is found in the government printing
office It has been entirely perverted
from its original uses. 1t once confined
itself to the public reports. Now its
business includes the incoherent ram
blings of any crank. enthusiast or inn
practicable fellow who happens to be
within the reach of one of the execu-
tive departments and can persuade
one of its heads to get the matter print
ed as a public document. There are
said to be now in print 10000 copies of
new book on breeding horses, printed
for the personal use of the members of
congress, which no more belong in the
category of public documents than
would work on yachting. Yet these
20, 900 books are to be sent free at the
public expense to clubmen, horse
jockeys, liverymen, farmers or what
ever has the remotest promise Of vote
in him.
The government printing Office is
probably the largest esta Adjustment Of
its kind in the world and employs $500
people. Here tons upon tons Of matter
are set up which it is never supposed
that any human being will ever read,
EN- bracing the dullest details of jul
dicial proceedings, tiresome specula-
tons on agriculture, complicated
charts. maps and plates, computations
in astronomy, and congressional
speeches without number which have
never been delivered, but merely desig-
mated by title to be flung to the printer.
The expense of this department of
| waste, which was 81 1888, $40 in 1881, has
| been steadily increasing. Next year an
expenditure of So, 500, 900 has been pro-
vided for, and even this will doubtless
have to be supplemented by a deficiency
appropriation.
The reckless waste to which the gov
eminent printing Office is devoted is
becoming greater and greater scan
dial. An annual outlay of IS, 421, $40,
largely for books that scarcely any sane
man was ever known to read, is among
| the most conspicuous of the many meth
DDS by which the substance of the peo-
pie is systematically squandered away.
The public printing office should be re-
stored to it's legitimate purposes.-Bos-
ton Globe

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.

The billion dollar congress spent

the necessities of the common people.

trade nor truckle. 1t is in fight for

st. Louis Republic.
The Endorsement by the presi-
dent of the reciprocity notion adopted
by congress and his avowal of prefer
ence for it over the Blaine method
shows the amount of influence the man
from Maine has with the administra-
tion.-Detroit Free Press.
Senator Hoar, who is eulogizing
the last congress in Massachusetts,, does
not seem to have fully taken in the
meaning of the November elections in
the Bay state. 1t is very evident that
the cherub of Worce ster is out of joint
with the tines.-Chicago Times.
The republican idea of ultra-pro-
tective tariff as logically developed by
the Mckinley bill has been decisively
condemned by the voters of the country.
1t is useless to waste time in discussing
it. A short trial has been sufficient for
its rejection. and no one but mailman
would dream of resting the future of a
great party upon the notion of building
yet higher Chinese wall around the
United States in this day and genera
ton of progress and enlightenment.
Hence the prominence of Blaine's policy
of tariff favoritism as an expedient to
save from utter overthrow the party
whose cardinal doctrine has been rep
rotated by the people.-N. Y. Star.
