Thus spoke ex-Champion John l..

John was II the barroom of the st.
Charles hotel beginning to "whoop it
up" as few can but he.
He spoke from his heart. He was not
one-half so much broken up as most
persons would suppose. Physically he
showed a swollen nose and black marks
around the eye-marks that the man
never had before in his life-but his
manner was'not of the sullen and dis
appointed kind, and his friends re-
marked his pluck in defeat with pride.
Corbett this morning was exuberantly
merry as kilograms innumerable came
in upon him, all. congratulating him
upon his victory. The young champion
of to-day lays among flowers, while the

Sick COnvicts' Excuses,

One of the first duties l fulfilled as a
supernumerary warder wa the care and
control of prisoners down for the doctor. u
Convicts complaining of sickness are al
lowed to leave their cells during their din
ner hour and form up in a long rank out
side the medical officers room, into which
they enter and state their cases in rotation.
Many of the prisoners complaints and re-
quests at the DOCTORS desk are extremely
funny and g%rotesque.
"Please, sir, I've got a bad heart" one
man says lugubriously.
II know you have" the doctor replies
with a laugh. IF you had a good one
you would not, in all probability, have
seen a prison interior"
"Would you be so kind, sir" the next
pan says persuasively, "as to let me have
.one or two of your sanctimonious pillsY"-

The Young American.

Alloy is an odd piece of furniture, but
he is the ground and chief ingredient of
the man. Delude not Yourself with the
belief that the boy is not all he pretends
to be, for he is a great deal more. He is
an incomprehensible fellow to any one but
another boy, and because he will presently
grow into the awkward between-hay-and-
grass period that separates boyhood from
manhood, and to a numbering idiot then,
don't signify that he is an idiot now. He
never is. But his chrysalis state letters
him and makes him seem like one some
times.
The boy is all right.-Bradford Era.

The Propasation Of Leeches.

, Up to within forty years Sweden, Russia,
Poland and Hungary enjoyed a practical
monopoly of the leech business, but now
nearly all the leeches used abroad come
from artificial ponds and meadows il the
south of France, where the bottom is firm
and solid, the areas chosen being divided
into rectangular plots by bitches. The
breeding season arrives in June and July,
and at this time water is admitted into the
bitches, the meadow fats remaining dry.
The eggs are laid by the leeches in loose
soil at the margins of the bitches. When
the young ones are Matched the meadows
are overlooked artificially some six or eight
inches. The young leeches are fed upon
the blood of living horses and cattle driven
into the shallow water twice a week.

PROTECTION AND FARMERS,
The Home Market Is Hold and the Az.
riculturist Benefited.

The Homo Market Is Hold and the Az.
riculturist Benefited.
In nothing are the free traders more
persistent than in their contention that
while the farmers constitute avery large
and important part of our total popula-
ton, the Mckinley bill and all other
protective measures are at his expense.
In point Of fact the farmer is directly
protected in very many directions by
the Mckinley bill. The catalogue of the
articles of farm produce which it has
defended from foreign competition is
indeed far too long for us to name its
items.
Nor is it important that we should do
so. For the blessing to our farming
community in the Mckinley bill does
not consist chiefly in this direct protec-
ton in the cas- of Individual articles.
The benefcence Of our present tariff is
to be found in the fact that it protects
the farmers market-that home market
more valuable to him than all the mar
kets of Europe, Asia and Africa.
For, outside Of cotton and tobacco,
the total agricultural products of this
country amount in value to about 49,
000, DOC, 900 per annum. And of this
grand total 80 per cent. is consumed at
home, only 8 per cent. abroad.
These figures make it useless to insist
on the absolute insignifcance of the
foreign market for our products as COM
pared with our home market. But who
are the people that purchase this 90 per
cent. of our prodigious annual agricul-
tural output? Our own fellow citizens.
And what enables them to expend such
vast sums in the purchase of the pro-
ducts of our fields?
Obviously the power to buy depends
on the earnings of the purchaser. And
since the multiplication and prosperity
of industries are the main source of
these earnings, it follows that it is i'm
possible to protect the operative in the
factory or to add to the number of fac.
tories without covering with the mantle
of protection every man who has a
pound of beef or a bushel Of wheat to
sell. And this amounts to no more than
saying that the prosperity of one class
OF citizens e the prosperity of all.

The Status at Quarantine.

New YORK, Sept. 8.-A dispatch re.
.oeived from Quarantine at $50 this
morning announces that the quarantihed
steamers, Normannia and Rugia, have
hoisted the yellow flag up again, and
that the same signal is flying at Hof-
man Island.
These signals indicate that there are
more cholera cases on the Normannia,
Rugia and Hoffman Island, for it was
agreed yesterday between the health off.
GERS and commanders of the steamships
mentioned that the yellow flag, after
yesterday, was not to be hoisted unless
as a notification that additional cases OF
cholera had been discovered.
The record for yesterday was eight
fresh cases among the crew Of the Nor.
MAMMA, and two more cases among the
ssteerage passengers of the same ship.
Consequently since the cholera arrived
here, there has been thirty-one cases OF
sickness from that disease, and eight
deaths from the same cause at this port.
It will be noticed however, that this is
no alarming state of affairs consider
ing that there are about twenty steam.

Early Marriage in China.

1t is nothing rare in China for boys
twelve to fourteen years old to marry. The
physical, moral and intellectual develop
ment of the contracting parties has moth
ing to do with the matter. Other consid-
erations entirely regulate the affair. An
old Chinese aphorism says that the great
business of life is ended when the sons and
daughters are married. The Chinese par
ents do not care to run the danger of post
poning the marriage of their children, es-
pecially of their sons. until after their own
death.-Exchange.

VIA Mrs. Ferguson Owes to the Gump.
ton of a Country Cousin.
"a little more water, please, num-"
II ever q New York small boy looked the
personification Of mischief, it was the bow
who made this speech.
He and somewhere between a dozen and
twenty other boys had been spending the
morning on Mrs. Ferguson's front steps,
whiting. eating peanuts and tearing up
newspapers to an accompaniment Of sing
ing, whistling and shouting. It wasn't
the first morning that these same boys
had spent there, either; indeed, for
weeks they had spent about all of the time
when they had not been sleeping or eating
making messes on Mrs. Ferguson's steps;
and this, too, in spite of requests, en-
treaties and threats.
Nov, boys, please go away" Mrs. Fer
Ruson would say; don't you see how you
are cluttering up my steps?"
Another time the good old lady would,
metaphorically speaking, go down on her
marrow bones before the young hoodlums
and beg them to go and sit somewhere else
for awhile.
"Why don't you go and sit on Mrs.
Smiths steps half a day." she ventured
to say one morning, by way of suggestion.
Coz she's got a dorg," was the answer.
There had been times when with broom
in hand Mrs. Ferguson had sailed forth
from the front hall and made a dash at
the squatters on her front stoop, and then,
enraged as much as a gentle creature could
be, had vowed to call a policeman.
But nothing had served to drive the
boys away. If the house had been a half
orphan asylum and they the inmates, they
couldn't have stuck by it any more faith
fully.
"Why don't ye dowse 'em?" demanded
Mrs. Ferguson's country cousin, who had
come to make a visit.
"Dowse 'eml Dowse 'em! What's that?"
asked Mrs. Ferguson.
"Why, throw water on 'em. Soak 'em.
Duck 'em. Why, don't YOU know what
dowsin ISL"
"Oh, dear!" protested Mrs. Ferguson,
II couldn't do that. I might wet their
Clothes"
swell, I'll do it for ye, then" said the
cousin, and, in spite of Mrs. Ferguson's
protests, she ran into the bathroom and
filled a great big tin pail with water and
brought it to a window overlooking the
stoop. There were ten quarts of water in
the pail. The woman shot it out of the
window in such a way that every drop of
it did good.
"Gee! What struck us2" exclaimed the
youngster who seemed to be the boss of the
squatter colony. Then he began pulling
his clothing loose from his body, arms anu
legs. Presently he glanced up at the win
dow and caught sight of Mrs. Ferguson.
It was then that he held his hands up in
such a way as the fielder holds his when he
is watching for a fly ball, and called out to
Mrs. Ferguson, "a little more water,
please, num-"
But he didn't go back to his old seat on
the steps and wait for more water. It mnyb
said, too, that thereafter he and his mates
made trouble for somebody else than Mrs.
Ferguson.-New York Times.

Show Amin ais,

To the professional feeders for show
yard purposes it is not necessary to give
any particular caution as to the manner
of treating the animals being fitted for
the fall campaign, but it is always in Or
der to point out the danger Of overriding
the thing. Animals that are naturally
of a thrifty disposition, if not watched,
may lay on too much flesh, which is not
only detrimental to their future useful
ness, but will be accompanied by a loss
of smoothness which may be fatal at
some critical moment under :he eve of
the expert judge. 1t is therefore quite
necessary to pay the strictest attention
to animals which are being eattea for
exhibition purposes at the fairs, for by
SO doing only can the best results be &C.

How Knute Nelson, OF Minnesota, Made

was born in Norway Feb. 2, 1S49; was
brought to the United States in 1s49, re-

and entered the practice soon after the

Live Stock Points.

The largest stud of the smallest horses
in the world-Shetland ponies-is to be
found on the island Of Bressa, Shetland.
1t belongs to the Marquis of London
derry. A Shetland colt was foaled here
lately that weighed at birth only six
teen pounds and was 1919 inches high.
Take n pound of tobacco, one pound
of sulphur, stir them into four gallons
of water, and you make a sheep dip
warranted to kill and keep off sheen
scab. The animals are to be dipped
twice at an interval of fourteen DAYS,
and the dipping must be done thorough
ly. This will kill the worst dose of scab
to be found anywhere, and it is a disin-
fectant which will keep the sheep
healthy after they are once cured. So
says William Watson in The Breeders
Gazette. He once cleaned q flock of
$4,000 sheep in New Zealand from scab
in six weeks by the above treatment
without moving the animals from any
of their old infected runs.
The smaller the Shetland pony, the
more money there is in him.
Have you caught on in your mind
France, Spain, Germany, Austria, Den
mark and Italy all admitting American
pork on the simple certificate of honest
Uncle Jerry Rusk that it is entirely
healthy? This will make a pork market
for the United States unrivaled in his
tory. Now let us have the best, clean
est, sweetest hog meat any people ever
raised. We a do it. Go in for the best
breeds of hogs and the best way of rails
ing them. Hurrah for the four legged
American hog, but down with the two
legged one!
Mrs. May Taylor says, in the St. Louis

the yellow Persian powder, so called, is

Peas for Pigs.

Peas contain 20.2 per cent. of digesti-
BILE muscle forming nutrients and 500
per cent. of heat and fat producers,
hence they make excellent food for pigs
and all other young stock as we'll. For
the young animal the muscle producers
in the food should constitute a much
larger proportion than for the mature
one. Taking cove milk as a model the
relation of the flesh formers to the heat
and fat givers is l Of tho former to 1877
of the latter, while in peas the ratio is l
to 80.
Figuring by the German standard,
when the feeding value of corn is $1.1O
per 100 pounds, oats 80 cents. barley
95 cents and wheat bran $l.N that Of
peas is $1.A per hundred pounds. 1t
must be understood that the above
values apply only when FED IN properly
balanced r%ations; that is, the nutrients
must be i'll the exact proportion 20 sup
ply the wants of the animal body with.
out waste in any one Of them. No othe,
food SC easily obtainable in the state
except ground oilcake, contains so large
a per cent. of muscle making nutrients.
Corn contains only 81 per cent, oats 8
per cent, barley s per cent. and wheat
bran 1876 per cent.
On account of the small per cent. Of
fat in peas, being but IL per cent, the
pea ration would be much improved by
adding a small quantity of oilcake or
faxseed. This would counteract the
tendency of this food to constipation.
Oilcahe would add to it's muscle making
value, since it contains a still larger per
cent. Of albuminoids. For quality of
pork. flavor, solidity and whiteness corn
stands first and field peas second. In
this part of the state where clover is not
reliable, peas, or peas and oats sown to-
eether, do excellently for green forage.
