Old Politics aud New.

Unless man is permeated, Bills
tered and shriveled with partisanship.
he will admit that those journals
whose trade is to bolster up the for
tunes of some political party. often
strain the truth. wink at falsehoods
that are favorable to their. party 8
interest and are frequently therefore,
unreliable as guide and worthless as
medium of news The independent
voter will certainly admit this so ia r
as it relates to the press OF the oil
parties. But let US be frank and
honest with ourselves and each
other. Politics is politics under
whatever party banner we may take
our place. We readily become ex-
cited politically whether we are in
new party or an old one. and If we
happen to be the editor of a journal
that is devoted to this party or that,
the great common partisan weakness
of the race is apt to develop and we
sometimes become unfair in our
comments upon the political op-
ponents.
Whenever we have developed or
shriveled-as you like-until we con-
ceive that all the virtue in the world
is in our party and that no other par
ty possesses even the shadow of a vir.
tue. we are in a bad way. There is
not an individual on earth. however
low groveling and brutal he may be.
who has not something of the divine
something of virtue in him. and there
is not a political party that has not
good men in its ranks and something
OF merit in the aggregate Reform
ers men who have become irritated
and disguised with the unquestionable
corruption and treachery which can
be found in partisan politics, and
have struck out for reform should be
reasonable and remember these facts.

The Line of Lakes.

The above name has been applied to
the Wisconsin Central lines on account
of the large number of lakes and sum-
mer resorts tributary to Its lines.
Among some of the well known sum-
mer resorts are Fox Lake, H., Lake
Villa, H., Waukesha, Mukwonago,
Cedar Lake, Neenah, Waupaca, Fltield,
Butternut and Ashland, Wis. These
axes abound in numerous species of
fish, such as black bass, rock bass, pick
erei, pike, perch, muskailonge, while
sportsmen will find an abundance of
game, such IS ducks, geese, quail,
snipe. etc. In the grandeur of her
scenery, the charming beauty OF her
rustic landscapes and the rare perfec-
ton of her summer climate. the state
of Wisconsin is acknowledged to be
without peer in the union. Her fame
as n refreshing retreat for the over
heated, careworn inhabitants OF the
great cities during the midsummer
months, has extended southwark as far
as the Gulf of Mexico and eastward to
the Atlantic. Pamphlets giving valua-

Preserving Ropes.

In order to insure more safety in ropes
used for scaffolding purposes, particu-
larly in localities where the atmosphere
is destructive of hemp fiber, such ropes
should be dipped when dry into bath
containing twenty grains of sulphate of
copper per liter OF water, and kept in
soak in this solution some four days, ar-
terward being dried. The ropes will
thus have absorbed a certain quantity of
sulphate of copper, which will preserve
them for some time both from the 1t
tacks of animal parasites and from rot.
The copper salt may be fixed in the
fiber by coating of tar or by soapy
water, aud in order to do this it may be
passed through bath of boiled tar, hot,
drawing it through thimble to press
back the excess of tar and suspending it
afterward on a staging to dry and hard
en-. In a second method the rope is
soaked in a solution of 100 grains OF
soap per liter of water. English Me.

Weather Lore Of the Sun,

Among the people of all countries aud
ages, says the St. Louis Republic, the
suns Iedness on rising or setting has
always been regarded as omnibus. These
notions have furnished material for many
proverbs. An old English adage in.
forms US that
If red the sun begins his race,
Be sure that rain will fall apace.

ton to wet or dry weather, where he
says (Matthew XVII, 2, 81: "When it
is evening, ye say, 1t will be clear
weather; for the sky is red. And in, the
morning, 1t will be foul weather to- day
for the sky is red and lowering" 1t
may be remembered, too, how graph
ically Shakespeare puts forth this same
proverb in his "Venus and Adonis:'
Like a red morn, that ever yet betokened
Wreck to the seamen, tempest to the fields,
Sorrow to the shepherd, wos unto the birds,
Gusts and foul flaws to the herdsmen and to
herds.
If we turn to European observations
we find that the Italians says: "If the
morn be red, rain is at hand," and,
again, "H the sky be red when the morn.
ing star is shining, there will be rain
during the week" As is we'll known,
however, red sunset is just as propit.
ious as a red rising is unlucky-"a red
sky at night being shepherds de.
light" and according to a saying very
popular when the writer was child
Evening red, morning gray,
Sends the traveller on his way.
In Germany it is commonly said that
"a red sunset and gray rising sets the
pilgrim a. a-walking." At Malta the stable
boy will tell you that ga red sunset says
Get your horse ready for tomorrow. "
In "Richard III. Shakespeare gives us
the same proverb in different words
The weary sun hath made golden set,
And, by the bright track of his fiery car,
Gives token of a goodly day tomorrow.
Indeed, there are numerous proverbs
on this subject, all to the same purpose,
an ancient Scotch rhyme being as fol-
lows:
The evening rel aud the morning gray
| Is a sign OF bright ana CHEEKY day;
| Evening gray and morning red

Liberlan Coffee.

The Liberian coffee is a species of
comparatively receut introduction to
commerce; it is native of Africa, culti-
waited and grown in Liberia. The plant
is OF larger aud stronger growth than
the Arabian coffee plant, and the fruit is
larger. 1t has been reported as being
more prolific than the ordinary coffee
plant, but according to Mr.. Saunders, Of
the Department of Agriculture, the
statement has not been borne out in
Brazil and Mexico, where it has been
tested. It Is also more teDder than the

Number Of Cattle in the United States

The exact rumber of cattle in the
United States during any year cannot be
determined, but il is estimated to be at
the present time between 45, 600, 900 and
10000, 600 head. Their distribution is
given in the Census reports, but in these
the range cattle and those on ordinary
farms are not placed in distinct classes.
For instance, in the Tenth Census (lS8s)
Texas is credited with having 4,0O4,
605 head of cattle, but whether they all
run out on the range or part are kept
On small farms we arc not informed.--
