A Card.
To the Editor Of the REGISTER:

To the Editor Of the REGISTER:
SIR:-In reply to card OF Joseph
Nichols, Esq, published In your issue
of yesterday, alleging among several
irrelevant matters, that he has paid his
capitation tax for 1882, and that bis
brother, Isaac II. Nichols, deceased,
has not been assessed and therefore
could not properly be returned delin-
quent, l have only TO say that
the personal property book for 1892, as
we'll as for some previous years, shows
Isaac II. Nichols assessed with capita
ton tax; and that while Joseph Nichols
has paid his capitation tax for 1891
there is no evidence that his capitation
for 1892 has ever been paid. Any per-
son can see by referring to the law pub
lished at the foot OF the delinquent list
that the Sheriff has no option about
posting or publishing as delinquent
such persons as have not paid their
taxes at the time therein specified. Mr..
Jos. Nichols called at the Sheritf's Office
on Friday, June Both, after his card
appeared in the paper and paid his tax
for the year Of 1892 and failed to pro-
duce the tax bill that he claimed he
was carrying about in his pocket. l
also proved to him where he was mis-
taken in his card when he said that his
brother, Isaac II. Nichols, was not as-
sessed, as he was assessed every year
during my term of Office. Mr.. Jos.
Nichols promised me Faithfully that he
would have card in the mornings
paper OF July 1st, retracting what he
had said, but failed to do so.

To the Editor of the REGISTER:
SIR:-For the benefit Of those OF my
Republican friends who say that l Will
be shorehead Democrat, now that my
application for pension Is refused,
will add here an emphatic denial.
When l made application l believed
myself entitled to u pension, but after
having what l believe to have been a
fair hearing am willing to admit that
the decision was proper, and that my
own opinion OF my deserts was probably
enhanced by that factor known as self
interest, and which is liable to obscure
the vision.
Instead of censuring the Pension de-
partment OF the ADMINISTRATION In their
action in my case, take it as an add
tional proof that none but those having
Just claims need apply. That no polit-
ical jobbery goes with this admlnistra-
ton, as with the last, as will be made
apparent TO many of those who are now
living off the public purse, and at the
same time possessing no disability
that takes from them one cents
value OF their earning capacity,
was brought to the conclusion OF APP
plying for pension by seeing others,
who, not only in my estimation, but In
that Of my friends also, were much less
eutitled to pensions than myself getting
them for the asking.
If erred in making my application
1t was on account of the standard OF dis
ability set up by the Republican admin
istration. Mr.. Cleveland is engaged in
erecting a new standard. l endorse
fully the wedding out process that will
go on under it to the extent OF having
none but deserving soldiers on the pen
sion rolls and those rolls Of honor.

Ekotn the outbreak Of the fire last
week at Factory "H" OF the United
States Glass Company, in the Eighth
ward, the fear has been quite general
that the burned buildings would not be
rebuilt, and that as result OF the fire
the factory would either be removed
from this city to some point in Penn
sylvania, or closed down for an indeh-
mite period. Within day or two ru-
NOR on the South Side has stated def
nitely that this would be the case, and
as q result there have been good many
expressions OF regret over the reputed
determination Of the company.
Yesterday Captain Joseph A. Ander-
son, general manager Of the United
States Company, and A. II. Brice, secre-
tary, arrived in the city, during the
day they took look over the ruins OF
the burned buildings. AS q result OF
this visit. it was determined to rebuild
the ruined portion of the plant without
delay, and work will be commenced in
about a week. and will be pushed ener-
getically, so that q start at glass-making
can be made by August 18th. The
buildings will be at least as large and
substantial as those burned. and proba-
bly, much better, and there is also a
strong probability that they will be To-
Gated in much more convenient place,
some of them, at least, not being so far
up the hillside as were the old strnc-
lures. This determination on the part
Of the company will be hailed with JOY
in the lower part of town, and the REG
IsTER is glad TO be able to make the an
nouncement.

BEEKEEPlNG PAYS.
If One Is Careful the Insects Can BE
Handled with Ease.

If One Is Careful the Insects Can BE
Handled with Ease.
Why don't farmers keep bees and
care for them as they do their live stock
and crops? They work for nothing,
board themselves and furnish a surplus
of honey in any ordinary season. From
single colony / have taken 81 pounds
and swarm in one season. OF course,
have the best italians | could get,
which work on red clover. The labor
is very light and pleasant to anyone in
terested.
The idea so common that the honey
bee is on the alert to sting somebody o
something is mistake. If one learns
their nature and treats them according
ly they can be handled with as much
ease as II COW or Il horse, the latter be-
ing the most dangerous. | have clean,
painted hives and keep the grass down
about them. If colony is weak, 1
give them start in the world by feed
ing. which they pay back next season
with interest put chaff cushions
around them in winter to keep them
warm, therefore brood-rearing goes on
lively in spring and the bees and keep
er are happy. y.-Kansas Farm Record.

FEEDING HgIFERs.
The Need of n More Scientific Treatment
of Young Dairy Stock.

Tho Need of n More Scientific Treatment
of Young Dairy Stock.
The first year of the dairy COW is the
most critical of all her life. Immature,
because not more than half grown, she
has had to give life to her calf, she is
now called upon TO give milk for her
owner and within few months she
will again have to furnish life and sus-
tenance for her second calf So she
has nearly a constant threefold demand
upon her energies, and unless the ut
most skill is taken the usefulness of
the coming COW will be injured by care
less and ignorant methods of feeding
and care. This young heifer should
receive, not only great abundance of
food, but that which is succulent and
easily digested, and the greatest care
should be taken to develop the mann
mary gland That is, her food should
be so regulated that it would not only
sustain her and produce material for
the growth of herself and the embryo
calf, but there should be surplus re-
suit OF the food consumed; the milk
and butter product is the result of this
surplus We want TO so breed and feed
calves for the dairy that they will
make cows that will put this surplus
feed into the milk pail and nowhere
else.
l wish ! knew how to better empha-
size the need of a more scientific treat
ment of our two-year-old hcifers II
all of them could be fed right for one
or two generations, the average prod
uct per COW of our dairies could be
easily raised 20 per cent. AS soon as
the animal digests and assimilates
more than it wants for it's daily susten
ance, and all healthy animals can di
gcst more than is needed for their daily
wants, it seeks to do something will
! it. Now it is the province Of the
| breeder to direct this surplus energy
into specialized channels, as may be
desired, and ere ating tendency to re
ceive this surplus and store it in the
form of growth, milk, beef or reserve
energy appears to stimulate the power
| of the animal to increase the amour
of surplus assimilated food, aud so the
animal may be induced to go on and in
crease its production until it ha'
reached the limit or end of the law o
its being. The change and variations
desired often come slowly, but eacl
additional generation may add some
thing valuable of surplus directed il
the channel best suited to minister t,
the wants of maRind p rof. |. 7. Rob

FOOT BINDING.
Fashion Is Indeed Cruel, Especially to
Chinese Women.

Chinese Women.
Proof that the Chinese woman Is not
labor-burdened slave we find in the
custom of foot binding. This heatlien-
ish attempt to improve on Gods best
work of creation is said by one tradi-
ton TO have begun with Pan Fei,
concubine of the Chi dynasty, sol A
D., and by another to have begun with
Vas Niang, a beautiful &C cucubine Of the
last emperor of the Southern Tang dy-
nasty, 975 A. D., whose feet were
'cramped in the semblance of new
moon" Tradition also says that it
originated with beautiful princess
who had club feet, and by resorting to
this method completely concealed her
deformity. Still another tradition says
it was resorted to by q crusty husband
to keep his wife from going a-gad-
ding" and as it worked so well, it was
rcsorted to by by others, until, becoming
u fashion, it was adopted by all. Where
ever the custom may have originated,
it is but little worse than the custom
of ladies lacing in civilized countries,
and adds as little in beauty to the per-
son on whom it is practiced The best
evidence attributes it to Vas Niang
The evils of foot binding-as, indeed
the evils of anything that interferes
with the natural developement of what
| God pronounced good-could not per-
haps be exaggerated. but the pain con-
nccted with it might be, and perhaps
has been. There is pain, great pain,
when the feet is first bound; but if we
| Judge from what we see about us every
day, namely, little girls at play, and
little bcggar girls running about us on
the street begging for cash-for the
beggars bind their feet--we are com
pelled to say that it looks as if the pain
connected with it is not severe. 1t is
perhaps somewhat similar to that con
nected with the Strengthening of a club
foot; and as the bandages are not taken
off at night, there is perhaps not much
more pain suffered from it during a
whole lifetime than that suffered by
our ladies who wear tight shoes
While we would not eXaggerate the
pains of foot binding, it is only just to
say that nothing can be said in its favor.
1t no doubt adds to women's beauty in
the eyes of the Chinese, for it is an all
but universal custom, but it takes away
all of her grace of movement and much
of her usefulness. She is compelled tc
walk on her heels, her knees being en-
tirely stiff 1t impairs her usefulness
especially among the country people,
for she helps to plant and harvest the
grain; but as mother, which is hei
principal bus mess, it matters little
! eI,
wealthy ladies usually have woman
on each side of them to support them
though this is the result of fashion a:
much as weakness. 7. Head
