Ii was formerly the custom to give COWS
the poorest hay that the farm produced,
and it probably is yet in some neighbor
hoods. Farmers who do this reserve the
best hay for the horses. But in many
cases the horses do little work in winter,
and never give any milk. a silly practice
once established is hard to dislodge.

The Summer Cat.

Vacation time is come. People sus-
pend their running account with the
milkman and the ice-dealer, swathe
their furniture in linen covers, pack
their trunks, and are ready to fit to the
mountains or the islands. Nothing has
been orgotten-except the cat.
She, poor animal, that has been accus-
toned to have food at regular meal
times, must now lie in wait for casual
mouse or snatch an unpleasant morsel
from neighboring refuse buckets. If by
good fortune she has access to water,
she can quench her thirst. No food, no
drink, no shelter has been provided for
poor pussy, who had been given every
reason to suppose herself to be mem
Der of the family, entitled like others to
her dish and her bed. Now she finds
herself, suddenly and by no fault of hers,
deprived of every care and sign of good
will on the part of her owners. She is
left to steal or starve, as chance may de-
eide.
Or even worse, the cat may have been
carelessly locked inside the house amid
the hurry of the departure of the family.
I would rather not think, or ask the
readers to think, of her tortures from
thirst and slow starvation.
1t is certain that whoever owns an ami
NAL, has duties as well as privileges of
proprietorship. When a cat, for in
stance, is taken into household as pet
or as rat discourager, the tacit agree
ment is that she will act for the amuse-
ment or the protection of the family;
while they, having taught her to expect
food, shelter and kind treatment, the
due wages for her services, ought to
maintain in good faith the trust as
sumed by their own will and act. We
are all learning to think more and more
about kindness to animals; let us realize
also the meaning of justice and honesty
toward them. Dumb animals have
rights which men are bound to respect.
Therefore, when we leave our homes
in search of pleasure and health, let us
take thought also for the welfare of our
little friend the cat.

OBITUARY..
Frederick Rishworth j ordan.

BY the death of Frederick Rishworth
Jordan, Cape Elizabeth loses one of her
oldest and most honored citizens. He
was the son of Rishworth Jordan, well
known to the business men of Portland
acentury ago as one of the leading sea
captains and one of the most genial, Wig
orous and respected business men of his
time. Frederick remained at the old
homestead from which other sons and
daughters had gone, carrying the ira
ditions and principles of a pure and re-
fined home, until he removed to the old
home of his wife, upon the death Of her
father about twenty years ago. He was
of a modest, quiet, temperament, had a
sterling love Of truth and right, d pleas
ant humor quick to discern the preten
tious or absurd but kindly and charit-
able ia his judgments and his deeds. He
walked uprightly and serenely among
his neighbors of lifetime with warm in
terest in their affairs, but with too deli
cate a sense of their rights for unwel-
come intrusion. To a tender love of
home and kindred he added a great love
of his native town whose annals he had
searched and studied, until he was rec
ognized and trusted authority. To drive
with him over tile pleasant roads of the
Cape and hear his stories of homes and
families associated with the houses he
passed, the bits of legend quantity told,
and local history that had vital bearing
on the history Of the state and country,
was an interesting and valuable expert
ence.
Never seeker for Office he had been
called to places of trust by his fellow
townsmen and represented their inter-
ests in the Legislature of 1865. He was
a good specimen of the earlier New Eng
land character, living moro calmly and
uncomplainingly than is the fashion in
our later day, honoring toll and never
shrinking from it's responsibilities.
There had been premonitions of the COM
ing change but they did not so disturb
the tenor of his way as to keep him from
his accustomed duties and he was in his
field directing his workmen when the
summons came, falling unconscious and
dying, painlessly few moments after
reaching his home. His wife died but a
few months ago. He leaves a son and
daughter, to whom the memory Of a
good father and a pure and just man
must bring its consultations.

A BIG SHARK.
Right Here in the Waters Off Cape Eliz-
abeth.

1t is said that early yesterday morning,
Mr.. Charles Jordan of Cape Elizabeth
was out setting his travis off that shore.
He had set them, and started in his
Hampton boat to pull in one end. AS he
did SO, a huge Goldfish was seen in the
net near the end, and at the same time a
large shark made dive for the fish. He
seized the cod, bit piece out of the net
and passed under the rudder of the boat,
causing it to vibrate violently, and was
seen no more.

THE HOMESTEAD MILLS.
Reduced Duties and Increased Imports of
Competing Products.
[Boston journal. /

AS there is general inquiry about the
products of the Homestead mills and the
duties upon similar products Of foreign
manufacture, will give both as nearly
as they are ascertainable without going
into wearysome details.
The Homestead mills produce steel
blooms, billets, structural shapes, bridge
steel, and boiler, armor, ship and tank
plates. Their annual capacity is about
1870, 900 net tons of Bessemer steel ingots
and 100000 tons of open hearth steel
ingots.
The duties on most of these products
were reduced by the new tariff. Under
the old and new they are as follows:
Old tariff New tariff
Per pound. Pei. pound
The Portland daily press., 1892-07-13

1t will be observed that the new tariff
made a reduction on all the common
grades and an increase on the higher
grades, the same as in the cotton and
wooden schedules, the object being to
improve their manufacture and to place
the burden, in cases where the duty
might increase the price, upon the more
expensive goods.
Imports that compete with the pro-
ducts of the Homestead mills were, for
eleven months ending May 81, 1892 1.-THE
latest rettirns), as compared with those
for the corresponding months in 1891, be-
fore the new tariff had been fully inforced
as follows:
1891. 1892.
Pounds. Pounds.
Bar iron, rolled or ham
IngotS, blooms. slabs,
billetS and bars of
steel and steel in
forms. ....72, 891 1922 1905, 739
Thus it is seen that, since the duties
were reduced, the importations have in
creased. At the same time the domestic
products have increased by the use of
improved machinery. Owing to the
large supply the price has declined
The fact that many mills in England.
and a few in this country, have shut
down shows that recent prices have not
been remunerative.
