House on Saturday on Colonel Wan
ser, and found a pretty general opin-
ion that he is a clean man and a pleas

it will be a comfort to the Colonel in
his coming defeat to know that per-

Republican Finance ana Its esults
According to the latest intelligence
from Washington, the finances of the
country are in a condition nothing
short of disastrous. The extrava-
gances of the Billion Congress have
reduced the cash resources of the
treasury to some 81, 900, 900 in avail
able currency scattered through the
Sub-Treasurles. The drain on the
government funds has been so great
that the bills presented by the various
departments cannot be met, and the
Treasury has had to ask aid from the
Army and Navy and other depart
ments to ''stand off, bills which there
is nc money to pay.
The Cramps, the great Philadelphia
shipbuilders, for instance have claims
for nearly a million on account OF the
new cruisers, which they cannot col
lect. The vouchers have been proper
ly audited; but the Navy Department
cannot be induced to surrender them.
There is nothing wrong, there is no
reason for the delay, simply the
papers and therefore the money can
not be got. This is not the only case.
Various persons who have done work
for the government or sold it sup
plies find they a only get their
money in driblets, and some OF them
have suffered severely severely in con
sequence.
1t is further said authoritative
that on last pay day, March Is, the
Treasury had trouble in scraping to-
gether money enough to pay all the
Federal employees. The Treasury is
in fact in daily danger of being forced
to suspend payment, and the pres
entation of any heavy claim at
any moment would cause a crisis, for
such has been the drain of the recent
appropriations that the vast surplus
has been all dissipated and there is
not money enough coming in to sup
port it and pay current expenses to
boot.
This is the work OF the Republican
party in complete control of National
affairs.
The Republican party now asks the
people of Jersey City to put it in con-
troll of the M unicipal finances.

TESTING THE COWS.

Use Scales and Slate and Ascertain
Their Productivcness.
d. w. Wilson writes to the Orange
Judd Farmer: In conversation with
some farmers about wedding out their
poor cows, it was suggested that a
record of their yield should be kept for
guidance and information. All ad-
mitted the value of it, but none of them
had done it, the excuse being that it
was too much trouble. That seems to
be the bugbear with all dairyme n,
''too much work" They say we have
enough to do now, getting up at four
o'clock and working until seven or
eight every day, without undertaking
anything more. There is some reason
in this, but is the labor intelligently
done? The ordinary dairyman at all
seasons can easily find time to test at
least a portion of his cows to determine
theii ability to pay for their food. 1t
is easy to have spring scale and slate
hanging in q convenient place in the
stable, where it is but moments
work to record each milking. Once
started the interest will soon develop,
and milking without weighing milk
will not be thought of. Try it, dairy
farmers, and see if it don't pay" 1t
surely will.

FEred just right
Liver, Stomach, and Bowels, by
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They
do it in just the right way, too
by using Natures own methods.
That's why they're better than the
dreadful, old fashioned pills, with
their gripping and violence.
But they're better in every way.
In size, for instance, and dose.
They're the smallest and the cas-
lest to take ; only one little Pellet
is needed for gentle laxative

and regulate the system thoroughly
but it's done easily and naturally.
Sick Headache, Bilious Headache,
Constipation, Indigestion, Bilious
Attacks, and all arrangements of
the Liver, Stomach and Bowels are
prevented, relieved, and cured.
They're the cheapest pill you can
buy, for they're guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is re-
turned. You pay only for value
received.
Something else, that pays the
dealer better, may be offered as
"just as good" Perhaps it is, for
him, but it can't be, for you.

Joy of the Mariner on Again Reaching
Mother Earth.
An English clergyman, who had never
before been off his tight little island"
was on his way to Spain. After week
on shipboard, he landed in Lisbon. Till
then, he says, he had never appreciated
the feeling of freedom and JOY SO gen
orally attributed to Jack on shore. :"
He recalled scene, at which he had
wondered at the time, on the quay of
the repairing dock at Dover. Now he
understood what was then mystery
A large Norwegian emigrant ship,
damaged, had been towed in for re-
pairs, and beheld the delight of those
homely emigrants as they Were helped
down the ladder to the place where
stood, and sauntered up toward the
town. They seemed too full of Joy to
do anything but laugh, and prove their
freedom by stepping to this side and
that, or walking down this street and
up that one.
The men were of the poorest class of
laborers, and with most of them were
wives and children. By permission l
went on board the vessel with two huge
bags of biscuit and sugar-plums for the
children--about fifty-and l remember
the grace and courtesy of the poor
mothers, with children in arms or at
their sides, in never pushing forward to
get the little offerings for their darlings.
/ remember, too, the dark, close
packed quarters, and the very savory
but rough cooking below decks, of
which the poor unintelligible people al
ways offered me share. l remember,
too, the fair, faxen hair, and the dresses,
shapeless, but girdled around the waist,
and the ruddy cheeks of these poor wo-
men.
All this remember. But one thing 1
can never forget, namely, the joy with
which, one and all, men, women and
children, they crowded down the steps
of the vessel, and streamed up to the
town, to the barracks, to the chief
streets, to the sea-front, to the country
around, only to look about to feel free,
to pluck daisy, to throw stone.
This was joy to them-joy so plainly
expressed in their smiles and gestures,
that one who saw could never forget it.
And now, after my short seven days on
board "A steamer, | felt my own JOY at
putting foot on shore, and thought of
and understood the joy of the Norwe-
gian emigrants. Youths Companion.

The Regular Routine They Are Com
PEELED to Undergo.
One popularity of the economy of the
training stable is that except when at ex-
ercise. the horses are brought up on the
SOLITARY system" Each box is isolated
from the rest, and though there is n
connecting door, it is only opened at
the hours when grooming and cleaning
are going on; thus the inmates can not
Converse" as every horse likes
to do with their neighbors and
so derive that relief from ennui
which the mere presence of another Of
its kind seems to give to these sympa-
thetic though undemonstrative Great
ures.
Routine is the essence of the system.
The work set them may be varied, but
the horses are like an eight" in train
ing; so much so. indeed, that each horse
has its particular place in the string
when at exercise Sunday is the only
day that differs from the others; for
then the horses do not go out. One
result is that they become exceedingly
"bored" with training and its conse-
quent isolation. This probably accounts
for the extraordinary fondness which
some of them develop for other animals
which are allowed to share their box.
Lanercost, who was poisoned at Ascot
in 1s42, had dog for his inseparable
companion, and there is story that
this dog was once stolen as precau
tion preliminry to MODELLING" the horse,
but that the dog escaped and found its
way back to the horses box.
Roughly speaking, work in the stables
begins at daybrealS, earlier in winter
later in summer, when the horses are
groomed and fed. and the boys get theil
breakfast. The first string" are ther
ridden out to exercise, and made tc
walk, gallop or canter for two and 6
half or three hours. They are ther
thoroughly groomed and fed again, after
which they are left perfectly quiet ant
alone, while the second string go out
These horses are generally neither sC
numerous nor so important as the frs
set, and at five o'clock all are for tn,
third time groomed and fed.-Spectator

A cup of coffee and q lump or two OF

substitute for the official and not wholly
accurate weather forecasts Having
dropped the Jumps of sugar into the
cup of coffee carefully, watch the air
bubbles that rise to the surface. If they
suddenly rush. from the center to the
side of the cup, be sure that it is going
to rain very hard. If the air bubbles
assemble in the center and then pass tc
the side of the cup in deliberate way
you must still be prepared for what the
weather forecasts would call "somc
showers" But if the bubbles refuse tc
stir from the center of the cup you may
go forth to your labors assured of a fine

4, of red top, each of which is affected
by ergot as is, shown by the black
growths where seeds ought to be. The
results of feeding hay affected by ergot
disease are frequently disastrous. The
skin of the animal becomes red and
itching in spots, the hair falls off and
repulsivc sores appear. In cattle, hogs
and sheep, the sores more commonly
appear or the legs and feet. The
ankles swell, suppurate, tho bones be-
come diseased. and finally the lower
joints drop off. This continues until
the animal is destroyed, affecting first
one, and then by degrees all the limbs.
1t is terrible disease, and has been
known i'll the old world for several cen
turies.
OF the multitude of remedies tried,
only two have proved of any value: /.
Poultices of soap, rye-meal and salt to
the legs and feet. 2. A wash of beef
brine, composed of saltpetre and com
mon salt applied several times day,
and afterward washing and rubbing
the feet with bittersweet ointment.
After the disease is well advanced,
treatment is useless. When the first
signs of the disorder appear, make an
entire change of food, feeding that OF
good quality, nutritious and free from
ergot Administer u dose of physic,
keep animals warm and give plenty OF

pear if the hay is cut before the seeds
formed. Green cut hay is easily di

The Terrible pisensc Produced hy Fungus
Popular Remedies.


Popular Remedies.
Ergot affecting forage crops such as
wild rye, red top, timothy, etc, causing
great distress at times among farm
animals, begins by the termination of
spores of fungus, which have been
carried by wind, or other means, to the
flowers of grasses favorable to their de-
velopmcnt These spores germinate in
contact with the outer surface of the
newly-forniug seeds, penetrate and in
the end displace them, preserving the
original form, and later bearing spores
which perform the office of seeds, and
falling to the ground, or upon flowers,
again germiuate and produce the fun
gus. Therefore, ergot is not a dis
eased seed, but is entirely fungus
growth, developing below the young
seed and preventing it's formation. 1t
is the dormant form of the fungus,
which remaining in this condition until
autumn, or more usually until spring,
germinates in the damp ground and
sends up 4 growth which produces
spores that fall on flowers of the
grasses and thus completes the cycle
The fungus has u different appearance
on different grasses, but the results from
animals eating it are the same. In the
