iect 1t can be easily made at home;
it can be sold at high prices without
the intervention Of middlemen or

The standard butter of production
should not be less than 80 pounds
per cow per year, and tho price not
less than % cents per pound
An income from the calves OF
twenty COWS of we'll bred variety
of cattle should not be less than

Each year in the dairy Of twenty
COWS it will be found necessary and
profitable until We acqu re more
skill, TO dispense with at least one
fifth of the dairy annually. These
discarded animals should not bring
less than $50 apiece, or S12l.
The COW that produces so pounds
of butter will produce GOD pounds

IL Is not too much to say that the

We sometimes think that the dairy

Great attention is paid to practice
marches over there. The men have
their feet wrap ped in rag instead
of encased in a stocking, and he who
is footsore is punished for careless
ness on the ground that his disability
is due to inattention. The cOnse-
quence is that there are no stray

SHE DIDN'T WANT IT.

Those whose mission in life it is
to entertain the public are al
ways pestered by friends and ac-
quaintances for free seats at their
entertainments. There probably
never was a singer or an actor or a
pianist who has not bored nearly
to death by these people, many OF
whom had not the slightest claim
to ask the courtesy they demanded.
A pianist who was prominently
successful in his day, and that day
was not so far back either, was
Rubenstein, who travelled nearly
the whole world over delighting peo-
pie with his genius. He like all
others, was very much annoyed by
requests for complimentary tickets,
but most of the time he maintained
his composure even though justly
irritated. 1t is told of him thatjust
before one of his recitals in London
he was accosted by an old lady in
the entrance hall, and thus adj
dressed:
ooh, Mr.. Rubenstein, / am SO
glad to see you! / have tried in
vain to purchase a ticket. Have
you seat you could let me have?
Madam" said the great
pianist. "there is but one seat at my
disposal, and that you are welcome
to, if you think fit to take it.
ooh. yes; and thousand thanks!
Where is it 7" was the excited reply.
AT the piano" srnilingly replied

UNHAPPY LEADv1LLE.-The sus-
pension of the Colorado mines has made
a dark day for Leadville. Built upon
mountain there is absolutely nothing
to support city but the mining bust
ness. The cessation in silver mining
is like shutting off the supply of air
from q mans lungs.
A newspaper correspondent in the
Omaha Bee declares that only about
250 of the thousands of men in various
ways connected with the mines are now
at work. He says houses are closed,
and front doors boarded up, while
miles upon miles of shafts, drifts,
levels and tunnels are filling with
water and are deserted" He says:
AS the revenues of this city are in
directly derived from the income of
the men who work in the mines, the
outlook for the future is very dark, for
with the mills and mines closed no
taxes can be levied and collected,
which means that the municipal and
county governments must be abandon
ed; that the schools and academies
must close, andt the churches must
do away with their preachers who for
years have been eXpounding the word
Of God to their little flocks. Not only
does the present condition of affairs
mean all this, but it means more. 1t
means that unless the mines open with
in q short time the entire population
must move away, and leave what will
be the ruins of fortunes that it has
taken years to accumulate"

DISPENSARY TRADE MARK. A dis
patch from Washington says that Gov
ernor Tillman of South Carolina has
applied to the United States Patent
Office for permission to use the palmet-
to tree as trademark for South Caro-
lima dispensary whiskey. The patent
officers are rcticcnt on the subject. and
say it is not the proper thing to give
out information concerning trademarks
until they are issued then the subject
is public one.
The facts in the case are that some
time ago Attorney General Townsend
of South Carolina came to Washington,
and it is reasonably thought now that
his mission was to secure the trade"
mark desired. The examiner to
whom the application was referred
denied it. He maintained that the
statute proXided for the issue of trade
marks only to persons, firms and COR
porations and that State is neither.
The attorney for the State then ap-
piled TO Commissioner of Patent Sey-
mour. Their brief sets forth that O.
trademark is incidental to the right of
trade, and that Il trademark cannot be
denied State without denial Of
States right to trade. 1t then rea-
sons that the right of q State to trade
is not disputed, and cites the mail
service, the government control Of
railroads in Germany, Of tobacco in
France and of wines in Hungary.
The commissioners decision as to
whether the trademark sought shall
issue will be made public within q few
days.

DANGER IN BEING Too FUNNY
Chauncey M. Depew illustrates again
the danger of being too funny in his
oratorical diversions. 1t is occasioned
by letter just received from clergy
man in Texas. The missive begins by
referring MY dear DR.. Depew to u
speech which the writer alleges the
President of the New York Central
Railroad delivered recently, in which
he said a man should go into debt if
need be, rather than miss seeing the
Worlds Fair. The letter continued {:
AS it comes from such high authority
l have no choice but to believe what
you say. have been laboring hard in
the Lords vineyard in tho South for

sure it would freshen me up in the

turning mems minds to God. My

tallist from Ohio, should object to an
amendment that would increase the
amount OF currency In circulation
Another amendment to the bill was
offered later on by Mr.. Allen of Ne.
braska, for the cessation of interest Cn
the bonds on which the increased ma
tional bank circulation should be
based.
Mr.. Berry of Arkansas, addressed
the Senate In favor of the double
standard of gold and silver. It was
Sherman act was thoroughly bad. It
was law which never should have
been passed, and he was particularly
gratified that not single Democratic
vote had been cast for 1t either in the
Senate or the House of Representa-
tives. In an evil hour for the country,
the free silvor Republicans had parted
company with tho friends on the
Democratic side of the chamber, and
had consented to the passage OF the
sherman act and repeal of the
Bland act. The repeal of the
Sherman act without other legisla-
tion, would in his opinion place the
country upon gold basis. would pre-
and forever practically destroy silver
as money. He Berry believed in the
double standard, and was not willing
to cast his vote for the gold standard
of money. Mr.. Cleveland had often
declared in favor of bimetallism; and
he Berry was confident that, notwith-
standing the Presidents failure to dis
cuss bimetallism in his message, he
would approve any bill that repealed
the Sherman law and provided for the
circulation of both gold and silver on
such terms as would give them equal
value.
Mr.. Gallinger addressed the Senate.
He declared himself ready to vote, at
the earliest possible moment, for the
repeal of the Sherman act, though he
did not believe that that much abused
law was largely responsible for the
existing financial evils. His prescrip-
tion for evils affecting the body polite
he gave as follows: "Let the bill
permitteing banks to increase their
circulation be enacted into law; and
let this resolution and amendment be
adopted, and confidence in our finances
will be at once restored, both at home
and abroad trade will brighten and
another era of posperity will speedily
come to the people of the United
States.
