Not 50 Grand as Niagara.

A late visitor to the great Victoria
falls OF the Upper Zambesi river, which
were first described by Livingstone,
states that their grandeur is unseen,
and for that reason it is impossible to
compare them with Niagara The
immense river, about a mile wide at
this place, suddenly contracts and
disappears, apparently, into the
bowels OF the earth, falling from a
height estimated at about four
hundred feet into a gorge narrowing
about five hundred feet. A column OF
spray rises at least three hundred feet
above the level OF the river and may
be seen seven miles away, while the
roar can be heard for many miles.
But In no place can the bottom of the
gorge be seen, and in only one place
was it possible to, survey as much
rs 600 feet in width of the falls at
one time. p hiladel phia Item.

HIS WIFE'S ASHES,
Carried About in an Urn BY Drum
mer in His Travels,

A commercial tourist travelling in
the interest OF a fancy crockery and
glassware house arrived at the Palmer
one morning with his large
trunks filed with samples, which he
arranged upon the tablesin his room.
After completing this work he took
from his hand satchel a large and
handsome urn, which he placed on his
dressing-case. 1t was a peculiar look
ing article, resembling the designs of
ancient times. He looked at it intently
for few moments, frowned and
turned away, signing audibly. He
went about his samples with an air of
melancholy, and every time his eyes
rested on the mysterious urn he sighed.
Dropping into large chair he buried
his face in his hands and was silent
for some minutes.
At last he was aroused from his
reverie by the appearance of one of
his Oldest customers and friends. His
face frightened and the two entered

talked upon all subjects, when sudden

the dressing-case and exclaimed:
"Why, Cd man, what peculiar,
design. What price have you on
that?" The knight Of the gripsack
frowned as he. replied: "That is not
for sale. That is one of my personal
effects" The Chicago glassware man
proceeded to examine it. "Mighty
pretty thing. Oh, there are ashes in
here. I dare say you use it in your
smoking set" The young man could
not avoid an explanation. "You see,"
he said, with some feeling, 'my wife
requested before she died that her
body be cremated and that I carry
her ashes with me III my travels. I
complied with her request and those
are the ashes ofmy wife, The Chicago

SHE DIDN'T ASK FOR MILK.

a Thirsty Young Woman's Expert

The other day when the thermome-
Ter stood at lOl degrees a young wo-
man got off at a village station on
the New England Housatonic Rail-
road with two hours wait before her
lor the train that would carry her to
her destination. She was travel-worn
and thirsty and hurriedly approached
the station master.
''Where is thevillage?" she inquired,
@There amt no village2''
WhatP' said the young woman,
do you mean to say there is no Will
age with shops where you might get a
glass OF lemonade or. anything cool
to drink?''
"4ou can try thathotel over there"
said the man, 'tbut there amt no vii
lage and for certain no shops"
Unsuccessful at the hotel, the young
woman returned to the station and
dropped down wretched on the near

station master, 81 never met anything

After they had walked a short dis
lance the man jumped up a bank and
entered a shed with an army of huge
cans outside. In a second he was
back carrying half gallon tin of ice
cold, foaming milk. The thirsty young
woman grasped it and swallowed
about a quart before uttering a word.
''Well then" she said, "you're the
klndest man and that's the best milk
I've ever come across. Why didn't

The CAPE Cure.

In certain affections OF the throat,
such as acute pharyngitis, catarrh OF
the eustachian tube with pain in the
ear, Swiss confrere says that he
obtains excellent results from making
the patients yawn several times a day.
It produces, it seems, almost instan-
taneous relief; the symptoms rapidly
subside, and The earache disappears.
Frequently the Affection is cut short
by this novel treatment. Yawning
produces, as every one knows, a con-
siderable distension OF the muscles of
the pharnyx, constituting a kin OF
massage, and under this Influence the
.cartillaginous portion of the eusta-
chan tube contracts, expelling into
the pbarnyx the lmucosities there

Fattening Sheep,

An experienced sheep breeder says
that the best ration he has ever
known to be fed to fattening sheep is
composed OF equal parts by weight, OF
oats, peas and millet to Is bushels OF
the mixture was added one bushel of
haXseed and all were ground fine to-
gether. Each sheep was fed two
pounds OF this ground mixture with
hay, and made a peculiar gain of three
pounds each week, besides growing an
unusually fine staple Of wool. This
small amount Of haxseed is peculiar
ly soothing to the digestive organs.
1t is Il perfect preventive OF all dis
eases caused by dry fodder.
Minor Topics.
Advice to the milker-Keep thyself
clean.
The farmer who does not provide a
garden for his family ought to go
without his dinners.
A practical dairyman cleanses his
milk utensils with boiling water, sal
soda, securing with salt and occasion
al scraping. He never uses soap.
Three hundred pounds Of butter per
COW should be the minimum, 400
pounds the aim, and 500 and upward
the ambition OF the progressive dairy
man.
What we want now, wisely remarks
an exchange, is pure bred dairymen,
It is vain to give the best cows to q
man who has not learned to make
the most of the native kind.
Pure milk cannot be had from a
COW that drinks impure water. Eigh-
ty-seven per cent of ordinary milk is
water. A COW will drink 100 pounds
OF water in a day.
A horse affected with chronic foun-
der always goes sore and is inclined to
walk on his heels. The heels of the
fore feet usually strike the ground
first. The hoofs show signs of con-
traction, by rings or ridges coming on
hoof. Blisters applied to the coronet
do good in such cases.
Ground oats, fed dry, in troughs,
are excellent for young chickens, but
they should be well sifted, the chaf
and hulls being given to the adult
fowls. If 81 Chilly moistened with fresh
milk or boiling water, chicks are very
partial to ground oats, but they must
not be so fed as to have any portion
of the food remain over after each
meal. The rolled oats, which are us
ed for making oatmeal porridge, may
sbefed dry to chicks, and perhaps it is
best Of all foods for newly Matched
broods

Keeping Butter Fresh.

The best method for keeping butter
for any length OF time is to store it in
barrels, under brine in the granulated
form. Now, clean whisky or pork
barrels should be used, filled to within
Is inches OF the top with brine strong
enough to float an egg, and the butter
then put in and covered so as to keep
it at least four inches beneath the
surface OF the brine. Butter packed
in this way has kept perfectly sweet
for 18 months or more Under our
present conditions of manufacturing
and marketing, it OF course rarely
occurs that there is any need OF keep
ing butter for such a long time but in
putting up butter for export, especially
to countries south Of us, this or a
similar plan might be adopted for
keeping it in good condition. We
have a good chance now for building
up trade with our southern neigh
bors, and it would pay to take some
extra pains to procure it by getting
our butter to them in better shape
than any other they receive.-Ex.

Sheep and Wool.

The last bulle' in of the National de-
partment OF agriculture gives the fol-
lowing retrospect about sheep and
| wool in the United States: GA very
comprehensive presentation OF the
statistics Of sheep and wool gives the
estimated number OF sheep and pro-
duct OF wool for each Of 22years past,
the average wool supply by decades
since $40, the annual Importation of
wool since 1870, and the annual inn
portation OF Wooiens by decades since
1880. It shows that the value of our
focks is greater by $42, 100000 than
in 1870, and the value per head great
errhan since 1875. From these facts
1T appears that the domestic supply
OF wool is six times as great as IN
1910, and that both domestic and
foreign supplies were only three
pounds to each iEhabitant, while they
are now six and a half pounds. Then
including imports OF woolens scarcely
| four pounds per head were used,
whereas we now require over eight
! pounds. 1t appears that three fths
Of all the wool used for all purposes is
OF domestic production, while four
tifths OF the requirement is manufact-
! ured in this country leaving only one
fifth TO come in the shape OF imported
goods. 1t is gratifying to know, also,
that for three decades the value per
head OF imports OF Woolens has been
regularly declining, and is now only
about three-fourths of a dollar per
annumfor each Individual. when in
l85O-l96O it was considerably more
than dollar"

An Irish Cup Of Tea.

Irish servants, with all their faults,
have many virtues, and the Irish
cup OF tea is not a bad exponent OF
the national character as we see it
displayed in our kitchens generous to

quick tempered as warm hearted, a

The Plumbers VIII Not Desert the Firm
of Duffey Bros.
The plumbers employed by Duffey Bros.
have postponed their strike indefinitely.
The men Intended to walk out to-day be-
cause notice had been placed IN the shop
to the effect that they would hereafter be
compelled to purchase certain tools and in
struments which they have not been re-
CURED to buy in the past. The notice also
ran to the effect that after April 4 the firm
would not employ union men.
The reason given for this departure by the
firm was that the men frequently lost or de-
stroyed valuable tools and implements
with which they were intTusted. the men
claimed that the firm had no more right to
ask them to purchase those tools than
printer had the right To ask his jOurneyman
TO furnish the type which they use.
The Plumbers Union met yesterday after
noon TO consider the matter. There was an
element present which favored strike. but
after debate lasting four hours it was
overcome, and the union decided to make
certain concessions, provided that Duffey
Bros. did likewise.
a committee was sent to visit the firm, and
a conference was held with one Of its menl-
bers at III Suffer street.
The conference was prolonged until Z
O'Clock in the evening, and resulted in an
amicable settlement OF the trouble.

ARMY AND NAVY.

State Militia.
WASHINGTON. March 20-General Nelson
A. Miles, in an interview. speaking of the
army and navy and National Guard, said /:
g In proportion TO our wealth and popula-
ton the army is reduced to an extreme
minimum; it is small, but most efficient.
In intelligence. courage and patriotism il
will compare favorably with any in The
world. The same may be said of the Ma
t!onal Guard. Yet, in order TO have them
properly equipped and prepared, one OF two
things must he done: either the press of the
country must tell the plain truth and
educate the public mind up to our real con-
dition and necessities, or we must meet
some disaster that may check our progress
and burden us with a national debt thar
would last for another generation. Too
much is expected of our navy 1t is ludi-
crous tn think of holding tho navy RESPONSE
bic for 1000 miles of frontier. Fortifcations
Will some day receive from the American
people the consideration that such defeuses
deserve. The necessity for some mobiliza-
ton Of the regular army and the National
Guard must be apparent TO every thinking
man. The object of the rational encamp-
ment to be held in August. 1893, will be to
promote the efficiency OF the National
Guard, to give officers experience in tina
handling of large bodies of troops, and pro-
mote fraternal feeling between State
troops from all parts OF the country"
