Bill Nye believes the hard times for

enough bran to their cows. He gives
his experience in feeding bran mash to
a sickly "taffy colored Jersey as fol-

in it to the top of the lower eyelid, and
then looking far away over the purple
hills, she would blow this bran mash
across the State, and what did not go up
the sleeves of my overcoat would ohink
up the barn and freckle our family car
riage. But after awhile she ate it al
most greedily and soon the birds sang
again in her sorrowing heart. She for
got her grief, had no more acidity OF
the stomach, flashes of heat or sinking,
ringing in the ears, dizziness or tired
feeling, and now she is perfectly well

titled to the bounty, is encouraging tC
the sugar producers of New England
and seems to warrant the belief that the
great bulk of the sugar crop of 1892 viii
be entitled to the bounty of II cents PEE
pound.
'As over 1900 sugar producers out o.
a possible 1000 in the State have made
application for the bounty, including
most of the largest manufacturers, it il
estimated that fully 1000, 900 pounds o
sugar will be offered for inspection un
der the law, of which amount it is reas
enable to estimate that at least 5000, 0Ot
pounds may receive the bounty. If thi
estimate should hold good, the farmer
of the State would receive over $4,000
the present season in bounties, which i
practically clear gain to the sugar pre-
ducers."

The trustees of the Shakespeare
birthplace have concluded to purchase
the Anne Hathaway cottage in order that
it may not be carried away to the Chi
cago Exposition. For our part we frankly
say that we glad of it. OF course, in
such an exhibition, it is not only inter
esting but necessary to have as large
collections of historical memorials as
possible. But the tearing up of build
ings to transport them across the ocean
or the continent and there set them up
seems the height of absurdity. Such
memorials are only of interest and signi-
ficance in connection with their sur
roundings. Rooted from these they are
of no more instructive value than the
piece of moss which the traveller brings
from the Alps. To one familiar with
the Alps it may be fragrant with memoir
les and picturesque scenes of life. But
to the stranger it is piece of moss and
nothing more. Some of the Chicago
people appear to be in danger of over
doing the Historical mania"

The new cruiser Raleigh will be launched al
the Norfolk Navy Yard on March 81. Tho In.
vitatons to the lanching will be limited to
few public officials and newspaper correspond
euts. The Raleigh will prove a valuable sddi-
ton to the new Navy. She and her sister
ship, the Cincinnati, are built on the same
lines as the Boston and Atlanta, and each Of
the quartette have displacement of 8 200 tons
Here the similarity ceases, however, as the
Raleigh and Cincinnati will be greatly superior
in every respect to those vessels, as they will
embody all the improvements that have been
made in naval architecture since the Boston
and Atlanta were built. Where the latter
ships can steam but Is knots an hour, the
Raleigh and Cincinnati are expected TO make
19 knots. And their coaling capacity will be
much greater. Their batteries will be much
more effective. in that they will carry larger
armamen6, which Is also better arranged for
fighting purposes. The Raleigh will be- the
the first vessel built by the Government 20 be
put in commission. The only other vessel con-
structed at the Government yards that has yss
been launched is the armored cruiser Maine,
but she will not be in commission for probably
two years. The Raleigh, on the other hand,
will be commissioned within the next 10
months. Naval experts say that the workman
ship on the Raleigh is, if anything, superior TO
that Of any other vessel of the new Navy.

About noon on Thursday, March 10, Wash
ington was visited with a severe wind and
snow storm. The morning had been brigh.
and mild, and there was nothing to indicate
such violent and sudden change in the
weather. Mrs. Palmer, the wife Of Gen. John
NJ. Palmer, the Senator from Illinois, had just
aighted from a street car and was on her way
to the Senate Chamber, and when at the north
east corner of the Capitol gust of wind
struck her, lifted her off her feet and dashed
her violently to the stone pavement. She
struck on the back of her head, luckily, where
her hair was thickest, and thus prevented seri-
GUS injury. As it was however her head was
considerably cut, and the blood flowed from
the wound. She was assisted to the ladies'
room of the Senate and Senator Palmer was
sent for. he happened to be on the floor of
the Senate and was soon at his wife's side.
Upon examination the wound was found to be
not serious, though quite painful. Mrs. Pal
mers head was cared for and she was taken to
her home Almost at the same instant that
Mrs Palmer was lifted by the wind. two young
ladies were also thrown from their feet by the
wind, and one Of them was knocked nsensible
by Striking her nead On the marble coping
near the stairs of the Senate wing. She was
picked up and conveyed TO a Committee-room
Of the Senate, where she regained con-
seriousness and was removed to her home. 1t
was one of the fercest storms that this part Of

NAMING A MOUNTAIN.
A Suitable and Suggestive Name for G
Princely Peak.

A Suitable and Suggestive Name for n
Princely Peak.
An English tourist in British Column
bia says that his unsophisticated and
conventional mind was captivated by
the freedom and heartiness of the
dwellers in that country. The first
friend he made was little girl about
five years old, who seemed to be living
independently of her relatives" She
announced her name as Miss Jenny
Lorena Wells, and gave the stranger
many interesting details as to the life
and habits of her doll
Our landlord, too, was exceedingly
hospitable and agreeable. BY way of
conversation we asked the name of the
mountain opposite the door, peak so
striking in its rugged magnifcence
that in Switzerland there would have
been two railways and a dozen hotels
planted on it, With princely generos-
ity he replied:
'You can cal it what you like.
Every outfit that comes along gives it
a new name, and I'll be shot if l can
remember what the last one w as.
1t was gratifying to reflect that we
were now an outfit" but at that mo-
ment we could not think of an appro-
pirate title for the mountain.
a name occurred to us not long after
ward, however, as we began to get ac-
quainted with one of the peculiarities
of British Columbian speech, namely,
the various uses of the phrase whats
the matter?"
Whats the matter with some sup
per?" whats the matter with the
bread?'-that is, please pass the bread.
whats the matter with skipping ont
of this first thing in the morning?'
These and sundry other similar express
sions suggested to one of the company
| name for the nameless mountain,
and the world will be good enough to
take notice that it is to be known
henceforth as the "What' t's-the- Matter
Horn. ."--Y Outh'S Companion,
