Recently Discovered Medaiiions.


 Lovers of literature will be interested in the recent discovery in small house of the buried city of PoInpeii of twome- dallions representing respectively Hor- ace and Virgil. The death of Horace occurred eight years before the Chris tian era xnd that of Virgil ten years earlier, while the date of the destruc- ton of Ponpei by the eruption of Vesu- vius is A. D. 70,
 Hence the portraits are not contem- porary, though they cannot be placed very long after the age of the poets. But although they are in that respect only fancy portraits, M. Gaston Bois- sier has pointed out to the French Acad. emie des Inscriptions that they have Q distinct resemblance to the miniatures of Horace and Virgil given in the manu- scripts of the Twelfth and Thirteenth eenturies
 The Pompeiian medallions are only of very mediocre character when regard ed solely from an artistic standpoint. This very fact strengthens the idea of a continuous artistic tradition as to the bodily presentment Of the two poets The Pompeiian artist md the lnonastic scribe could have had no direct connec- ton, but they may easily have derived their figures from a common source.
 Another point of interest is to see the popular criticism within less than 8 century after their death, linking to- gether Horace aud Virgil. How endur' ing their fame is may be realized if we remember that now, after the lapse of nineteen centuries, they have more readers and admirers than at any pre- ceding period. It is to be feared that few of the literary regulations of modern ages will withstand so successfully "tho cankered tooth of time. '-Manchester l Guardian.

Astronomy of tho Ancient Egyptians.

0h lAAb hhNAtHb pliAiss
 We find in the table at the Ramesseum distinct references to the bull, the lion and the scorpion, and it is also clearly indicated that ut that time the star Sirius rose heliacally at the beginning of the rise of the Nile.
 The word heliacally requires Q little explanation. The ancients, who had no telescopes and had to use their horizon as ths only scientific instrument which they possessed, were very careful in deter mining the various conditions in which a star could rise. For instance, if star were rising at the same time as the sun was rising, it was said torise cosmically but unless certain very obvious precau- tions were taken the rising star would not be seen in consequence of the pres ence of daylight. It is quite clear that if we observe star rising in the dawn it will get more and more difficult to observe tho nearer the time of sunrise is approached.
 Therefore, what the hntients did was to determine time before sunrise in the early dawn at which the star could be very obviously and clearly seen to rise. The term "heliacal rising" was coined to represent a star rising visibly in the dawn, therefore. before the sun Gen orally throughout Egypt the sun was supposed to be something like ten de grees below the horizon when star was stated to rise heliacaIly.

Others will readily understand the ma
ture of the pest by its occurrence in the
heads of wheat under the chaff, giving
these, when very abundant, a reddish
appearance, somewhat resembling rust.
Prior to 1851 the ravages of the insect
were widespread and more or less dam
aging. Since 1861, for period of TWEEN
ty-eight years, no serious widespread
outbreak occurred. 1 Reports Of local in
juries, however, were frequently re-
corded.
''The only thoroughly practical pre-
yentive, and also the one promising the
best results, is deep blowing of wheat
stubble in the fall, thereby covering the
midges so deep in the earth that they
are unable to reach the surface in the
spring. This is done as soon as possible
after harvest. Burning the stubble be-
fore blowing will also destroy any which
have remained therein, and a rotation of
crop will add greatly to the efficiency Ct

ration will cost less than corn and oats
fed without grinding. One hundred
pounds of wheat bran is worth as much
for feeding as three bushels of oats.
These figures show quite saving in the
use of bran. A good ration for horses
not working too hard is equal parts Of
cornmeal and bran. This is also good
feed for milk COWS and calves. All the
straw raised upon the farm can be used
to good advantage in the feeding of
stock. Good, bright oat straw is Of
equal value to prairie hay. The wheat
straw can be used to good advantage as
bedding. If it is cut at the proper time
it will be eaten very well by stock cattle.
Corn fodder cut at the right time and
properly cured, Mr.. Wheeler classed
among the best feeds for stock cattle,
but he deplored the too common habit
of turning stock into field Of corn

Mr.. Carl Schurz, formerly Republican
candidate for Lieutenant Governor Of
Wisconsin, Republican Minister to Spain
Republican Majors General in the United
States Volunteer Army, Republican
United States Senator from Missouri, and
Republican Secretary of the Interior
walked up one morning and found that he
was no longer an oficehoIder. II This
state of things was appallingly sugges-
live, and, as nobody even so much as
limited that he ought to have another of
flee, he forthwith and incontinently
turned Mugwump before evening. His
opinion on political questions is matter
of the utmost importance to all the PEG.
pie of all the States, and especially to the
people of New York city and State.
There is no doubt about this. He will
tell you so himself.
Mr.. Schurz has known ever since he
came to America that it was his business
to tell the American people how Ameri-
can institutions should be managed,
American constitutions ought to be in
terpreted and what the American fore
fathers meant, and, which is more i'm
y portant. what they ought to have meant
when they framed the said constitution
and drew the ground plan of the Repub-
lie. Mr.. Schurz is competent to this I'M
dertaking-has been so from the mo-
ment he first put foot upon American
soil There is no doubt about this. Ask

He is now engaged in telling us how
we ought to manage the tariff. A Clexe-
land organ advises us that he says the
protective tariff was originated as q
war measure" and that protection has
deleterious effect on the character OF
the American people, as it weakens theil
spirit of self-reliance." These are dis
coveries which it has required some in
genuity to make quite some,'' as they
say down East.
Z. The American Protective system origi-
mated in 1889, and Madison, Jefferson,
Washington and few of the associates
and co-workers of those ingenious home
spun Americans 'soriginated'' it. Posi-
bly, it was the Revolutionary war that MI
Schurz had in his mind.
That the people who have acquired the
facilities and ability to manufacture and
produce everything necessary to life and
Its enjoyment, development aud protec-
ton without the aid, comfort or assist
ance Of ony other people on earth, have
thereby weakened their spirit of self
reliance is the personal and private dis
covery of Mr.. Schurz, upon which he
need not seek the protection Of letters
patent, since nobody will ever try to de-
prive him of it.
There is great difference between Mr..
Schurtz and Mr.. Dana, of the Sun, in
that Mr.. Schurz is growing old and does
not know nearly as much as he did some
years ago.

ECONOMY IN FEEDING ANIMALS.

Farmers Conclusions Derived from
Practical Experience.
Where corn is one of the staple crops
it will always be largely used as food
for stock; indeed, it is question if any
thing can take its place Gin connection
with the grasses) in the production of
pork and beef. With well bred hogs
ten and eleven pounds of pork can be
made from bushel of corn, and on
good grade steer 100 bushels of corn
properly fed to him will increase his
weight 400 pounds, and in addition make
200 pounds of pork from the waste. Such
is the experience of Mr.. Joshua Wheeler.
who, in paper read before the Kansas
state board Of agriculture, further said:
We think it is good economy in feed
ing steers and hogs to give them the run
of tame grass pasture-clover and
timothy. We have never tried what is
called summer feeding of steers, but we
have found that the best gains are made
in the early part of the season. Where
the animals have plenty of grass in con-
nection with their corn, pork can be
made at less cost from May to Septem-
Der where the swine have the run of a
good clover field.
The importance of plenty of good
grass in the raising and feeding of stock
cannot be overestimated. The value of
clover in the production of pork we have
already referred to. Good, well cured
hay is just as important for the econom-
ical wintering of stock. For milk cows
good, bright, well cured clover is of
great value. Nothing we have ever
tried in the shape Of fodder is equal to
it in the production of milk. We be-
lieve that stock cattle can be brought
through the winter in good condition on
good timothy and clover hay and good
corn fodder, with but very little grain;
hence we consider it the best Of economy
for the stockman to spare no pains in
securing his hay crop. We believe it
would pay better to plant fewer acres Of
corn so as to give more time to secure
the crop Of hay.
We consider oats and wheat bran valu-
able and economical for stock. There is
no better ration for horses, milk cows
and calves than cornmeal, ground oats
and wheat bran in equal parts. This

INSECT PESTS IN THE FIELD.

Fall Flowing q Rem edy for Glover Leaf
Weevil and Wheat Nudge.
The clover leaf weevil which has been
at work in the clover fields of New York
has pushed its way gradually westward
until it is now mentioned as new pest
in Ohio, and is the subject of report
from the station Of that state, which
says: Gas described by Professor Lint
ner, of New York, the beetle measures
over four-tenths of an inch in length
and is of an oval form and brown color.
The eggs are deposited in the latter part
of summer by the beetles, which may be
seen in July and August. The larvae
from them appear in September and,
changing to pup@ in October, emerge
as beetles in November. Some Of them
lay their eggs, from which the larvae
hatch and hibernate while quite small,
within the old clover stem. Others of
the beetles hibernate without opposition
and lay their eggs the following spring.
The young larvae are seen as early as
April feeding upon the clover, but it is
not before the latter part of May and
June that they have attained sufficient
size to render them very injurious and
their depredations noticeable. At first
they feed among the young folded
leaves or attach to the under side of
leaf; later they fasten to the edge, into
which they eat irregular patches.
"From observation made at the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington upon
the insect in confinement during au-
tumn, the entire time from the egg to
the perfect insect was about 80 months.
AS to remedies, the application of or
binary insecticides is of no value, except
such as will poison the clover and rem
der it useless as hay, and it is thought
likely the pest will have to be fought in
the autumn, either by moving and burn
ing or fall blowing, or BOTH"
The depredations of the wheat nudge
have also been considered in a bulletin
of the Ohio station, from which we learn
the following: "The original discovery
of the species dates back to the year
1895, in England. From there it was
introduced into Canada first, whence
it has spread over the larger portion Of
the United States, making its first ap-
pearance in the northwestern part of
Vermont in the early part of the present
century.
"This depredator is also known as the
red weevil, on account of the color of the
maggots or young, and under this name
will be best recognized by farmers

Who Pays the Tariff Tax.
American Economist.1

The Democratic platform declares a
protective tariff unconstitutional, and
pledges the party to inaugurate tariff
for revenue only. 80
A tariff for revenue only is what Eng
land has Let lis examine it and see how
it compares with our own Mckinley law,
and if possible discover wherein it is
preferable to our present arrangement.
Then we can intelligently decide whether
we want to change.
England levies duty an cocoa, that
delicious, wholesome breakfast beverage,
of two cents a pound. Being revenue
duty, it is, of course, added to the price,
We get cocoa free.
The Englishmans coffee is tariff taxed
over three cents a pound; if roasted or
ground, four cents apound. We get ours
free.
Tea pays eight cents a pound into the
imperial treasury. 1t comes to the
American tea table free.
Here are three articles of universal con-
sumption. A tax on them is paid main
ly by the poor;
An unskiIled laborer who can earn no
more than S1.50, and is obliged to sup

He therefore, pays as much or more OF
the revenue tariff tax.
Under our protective system the
wealthy pay the import duties.
As matter of fact, the laborer, the
mechanic and the farmer can get along,

therefore, question as to whether the
