Life OF Petty Shifts.

Petty Russian officials. many Of
whom receive less than fifty dollars a
month, manage to live pretty much at
the expense of credulous tradesmen.
From the very beginning they estab-
Ii h their household on basis OF fraud.
In their houses strangers are sure to
be taken in. Every man, woman, and
child who comes in contact with them
is rlucked like an elder duck. Most
of these people pay only half the rent
covenanted for, and some manage to
get their meals thrown in. The trades
men. who compete with each other
suicidally, wipe out last years debts
rather than run their heads into new
moses. The peddlers AID bagmen,
who are continually strolliDg about
these places with their bags OF wares
on their backs, are not too small flies
for the spiders webs woven by these
gentlemen" They, like the others,
are raid in promises. And so family
of three, four, or five persons manage
to live if not exactly on tho fat of the
land, yet on It'd bits of whatever is in
season, and can afford to play cards
with neighbors and relations, and so
to concert or private theatricals now
and again-and all this for sum that
would keep an English or American
family of the same social status in
boots, gloves, and hats for a single
season

Fish in All Ssas.

1t has been thought that the Dead
Sea was destitute of fish, AS being too
salt to permit of animal life. Tho Dead
Sea. which in reality is a land1oched
lake, contains twenty-six per cent. of
saline matter, or more than eight times
as muca as that found in the ocear. 1t
has, however, been discovered that in
the Dead Sea, as in other salt lakes, fish
exist in the neighborhood of the inflow
ing streams, which supply the place OF
tue water lost by evaporation. Ia con-
sequence of this discovery the United
States Fish Commissioners made arrange.
ments Tor placing in the Great Salt
Lake. lat Utah, upward of million Sorng
shad near the inhowing tributaries, where
the water is comparatively fresh. These
streams reduce the density of the lake fol-
considerable distance from their
mouths so that the shad, it is considered,
may select at their own free will the
quality Of salt water they prefer while
using the tributaries for the spawning
season. The waters of the Pearsian Lake,
Urumiyah, which is eighty-four miles
long and twenty-four miles wide, are
much salter than those of the Dead Sea,
and yet, even in that lake, exclusively
salt as it is, small species of jelly fish
has been found.-Ncw Orleans Plea

Indians Doomed.

Chief Lot, of the Lower Spokanes,
oiyes the following causes of the decline
of his race: Our people are accustomed
to a diet of fish, game and herbs, WITH
plenty of exercise, and the change to
our present diet has been detrimental to
the health of our young men. The ma
iority are now attacked with pulmonary
consumption and the race is gradually
diving out. | believe that if schools
were established in our country where
physiological and sanitary laws could
be taught, an immense Improvement in
the physical conditions of the Indians
would result. The young men have
attended the Chemawa school, but the
change from tne mountainous to the low
land has been fatal to them. We want
schools in our own territory, and both
the loyalty and the health of the Indians
would be increased.
"It is sad" continued the chief,
speaking impressively and emphasizing
his words with emphatic gestures, "to
look upon the apparently healthy men
standing around me, and then to think
of my people declining in health and
strength and dying prematurely. / &C
count for this by the fact that these men
are educated, aud their knowledge of
physiological laws enables them TO pro-
long life, while illness OF our people
means death. The indians who choose
agricultural pursuits as a mode Of living
are doing well, and will improve when
they understand it thoroughly. am
farmer, as are the majority of my tribe.
The farmers physical condition is very
good. The appliances for catching
salmon in the Columbia are so effective
that we seldom see any in the Spokane
River, and fishing has nearly died out. -

CHANGE OF FEED FOR HOGS.

The proper keeping of hogs, having
in view the health of the herd and the
profit to be derived from them, neces
states the use Of great variety OF food.
Clover posture in summer, we all know,
is staple food, and for winter clover
hav or ensilage should be largely used.
Souashes, turnips, pumpkins and mau-
colds may all be used to advantage.
Bran middlings and ground oats in equal
parts Steamed and fed warm in cold
weather. may be used prohtably in con-
nection with roots, vegetables and ensil-
ace. II butterm.lk is fed to any extent,
try adding one pound of cooked oil meal
to every one hundred pounds of butter
milk. The feeding value of the latter
will be greatly increased by this addition.
Too mauy hogs are kept on an exclusive
corn diet after being put up for the win
ter. II you want them to return the
best possible payment for the corn, give
them a good variety Of other stuff to go
with it, and so keep them sound and
healthy. New York Observer.

WATER IN BUTTER.

One who writes as if he knew all
about it makes the statement that the
twelve to eighteen per cent. of water IN
average butter is "water OF compost
ton" and that a certain amount OF
water is absolutely essential to the COM
position of butter" and hence 1t IS
.'absurd to talk about butter-fat, free
from water. as a measure of butter.
This loose way of stating things would
lead one to infer, remarks DR.. e. 1.
Caldwell, that the fat of the butter is
chemically combined with the water IN
it, an altogether wrong impression, this
water is simply mechanically mike with
the fat, and persistently remains there
because no amount OF working can get
it out, Just as no amount OF wrlnglng
will make dry towel ont OF wet one ;
the two cases are exactly parallel. The
same writer says with apparent good rea-
son that milk with larger fat globule'
Yields drier butter than milk with small
glObules, on the same amount OF work
inr; this is reasonable, because less
water would be eOtaugled by the coming
together of fewer large globules to form
the first little grains OF butter than by
the coming together of the larger num-
Der Of small globule' necessary to form
grains of the same size. This water eau
not be essential TO the flavor Of the but
ter, or any other quality, except that,
being in the liquid form, 10 among the
particles of the fat, it will be saturated
with the salt that has been worked in;
thus it may take an indirect part in this
quality OF the butter, that it shall have
certaid degree Of saltness; aud yet this
is in certain sense an artls>iai taste;
every American student in Germany in
former days remembers with pleasure, |
doubt not, the pat of perfectly fresh,
unsalted butter that was brought with
the coffee and rolls for his breakfast.
