The Lamentable End of a Romano,

The Lamentable End of a Romance.
Fifty annual suns had bleached her
raven tresses, placed crows feet on her
chamoiselke skin and otherwise bem-
ished her youthful loneliness, but the
vigor of romance still lurked in her
bosom. She inserted an "ad' in one
of the Toledo dailies for correspond
ent matrimonially inclined. The sad"
was answered by gallant also sliding
down the slope of his fiftieth anniver-
sary. Photographs taken in their
PALMER days were exchanged, and last
week the fair one came from her wind
swept retreat in Iowa to meet her ideal,
to join heart and hand with him and
float happily on wings Of love together
to the end of their natural lives. Both
had so changed in the many years since
the pictures were taken that they failed
to recognize each other in the train.
Introductions followed.
They viewed each other for mo-
ment, when she broke out with "You
base deceiver! You horrid old brute!
You have deceived me and | shall
never marry you. You are twice as
old as you represented and as homely
as cartoon" The radiance vanished
from the eager lovers face. Staggered,
confused and razzle-dazzled, he bolted
for the hotel door, letting fly volume
of cuss words, interfering such ex-
presslons as Vixen" Jade" " She
wolf" and "Old hen" The door closed
behind him with a slam and the after
noon matinee was over. The lady has
returned to her home in Iowa, and the
correspondent has laid aside his pen
forever.-Toledo Bee.

THE CHANNEL BRIDGE.
Revival Of the Project to Connect Eng
land and France.

The great international bridge be-
tween England and France is to be
twenty miles long, be supported by
ninety mammoth piers, cost about
$245, 900 and be twelve years in
course of construction. All this is if it
is ever built, of which many good
people have their doubts, though the
best engineers have pronounced 1t
practicable, and the Channel Bridge
and Railway Company, now well organ
lied, declares that the money will be
forthcoming.
1t is very old scheme. AT first the
proposition was laughed at as mere
chimera. Next few engineers adj
vocated it and were thought to be jok-
ing 1t was even charged that they
had stolen the idea from Munich
hausen's description of his bridge to
Africa, and were perpetrating a huge
hoax on the British public. A tunnel
was then talked of for many years, and
British statesmen got into panic over
its possible facilitation of a French in
vasion. The advocates of bridge
went quietly on, however, and in 1889
presented the results of their completed
survey.
Their plan was for bridge twenty
four miles long, from Folkestone to
Ambleteuse, with IIS piers and a
maximum depth of I7S feet. Con-
tinued surveys have shown much
better route - from Foreland, near
Dover, to Cape Blanc Nez, near Calais
The bridge there need be but twenty
miles long, with piers as aforesaid and
greatest depth of II6 feet. The spans
will measure respectively $50 and 500,
100, 1000, 1900 and 1000 feet, and in
termediate lengths, the longest over the
deepest water to facilitate navigation,
and the piers bordering the ship chan
nels will be illuminated at night to
guard against accidents. Through all
its central sections the bridge will be
200 feet above the water. 1t is esti-
mated that at least half the travel and
traffic now crushing the channel would
at once seek the bridge, making $1,000
900 tons and 100000 passengers
yearly and that it would pay from the
start. The system of construction is to
be the same as that of the famous
bridge over the Firth of Forth. The
company was organized in 1884, and
as all the difficulties interposed by
government are now overcome the pro-
motors promise speedy progress. Oh
course it will be by far the greatest
bridge in the world.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.


The election tomorrow eXcites
little interest because there is lit
tie opposition. There are good
many people who oppose the prop
osition because they think it is
favorable to the National bank.
Anything that emanates from
that institution is unpopular with
the taxpayers.
Every taxpayer must know that
the credit of our city is its ba nix
ing capital, to preserve this credit
should be the first law of the city
administration.
x
That the city is compelled to
provide the means of paying off
the Breckenridge mortgage upon
the current revenue of the city can
not be avoided without resOrting
to reputation. No good citizen
wants this.
The present city government is
compelled to shoulder all the eX-
travagance and bad financial man.
agement of it's predecessors. We
must pay dearly for the past in
order to maintain our credit for the
future.
To vote against the proposition
because Breckenridge is willing to
accept the terms proposed, seems
to be very foolish policy viewed
from a business stand point.
=
Let the people vote the PROPOSE
ton and get Breckenridge out of
the Way of the city's progress. We
must move on.
Every taxpayer who is a voter
pay a little heed to the
election tomorrow, and cast his
ballot.

THE COMING HOG,
Not an Ideal-LookinG Creature, But n
Very Profitable One.

Not an Ideal-Looking Creature, But n
Very Profitable One.
The future hog must be rustler, by
which is not meant razor back" or
hazel splitter" but one that has the
getup and grow to him; an animal of
fine proportions, with extra top line,
broad deep hams, clean cut, smooth I'M
der line, free from flabbiness of jowl
or belly, with deep bacon sides and
deepncss extending well back TO flank
and forward to shoulder, not uneven,
and deep IN center, having fine cnt
head, smooth and broad between the
eyes, jaw broad and tapering well and
even to muzzle, eyes clear and promi-
nent, with ears standing out well from
the head, breaking evenly and smooth
towards the point, but would even pre-
fer a standing-up ear to drop or flop
ear, as a drop or flop, flabby jowl and
underline in my experience are not
rustlerS and are more inclined to dis
ease from their nature of slothfu.ncss,
and these bad habits are generally
found together. The bone should not
be too large, but one of fine and strong
texture, legs firm, standing erect on
their pins and tapering well from arm
down TO their feet. Some people have
an idea that the size is the most de-
sirablc in the selection of a hog, and
that large bones, no matter how badly
shaped, Is the hog for them, claiming
that large hogs must have large bones.
While good bone is desirable, if well
shaped, a small bone is more TO my
notion than big, awllward-shaYed
one, for this reason-a hog that has the
right form and small bone possesses
the property Of putting on deep flesh
and making big returns for his feed,
and carrying to market desirable meat,
while the other is a harder, longer feed
er, and goes to market with 4 larger
per cent. of low priced meat.-lL c.

London Drinking Water.

Prof FARMLAND, in his report just
issued, speaks unfavorably of the con-
dition of water when taken for con-
sumption in London during November,
says the London Public Opinion. He
says that on November % the Thames
at Hampton was chemically in an even
worse condition than on October II,
though bacterialy it was considerably
better. The water was very turbid and
brown, but was in every case except
one efficiently filtered before delivery.
The unfiltered water, taken chiefly
from the Lea by the New River com
pany, was, on November %, both chem
ically and bacterially in an unusually
bad condition. Compared with the
sample taken in the previous month, it
contained more than twice as much
organic matter and more than four
times as many microbes. 1t was also
turbid and yellow, but before it was
distributed it was efficiently filtered
and improved. The deep well waters
of the East London and Colne Valley
companies contained more organic mat
ter than usual, but they were, organ
ically, much better than any of the
river-dcrived supplies.

FEEDING HEiEERS.
The Need of n 1Iorc Scientific Treatment
of Young Dairy Stock.


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-
tenancc for her second calf. So she
has nearly constant threefoid 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 ouly u great abundance of
food, but that which is succulent and
easily digcstcd, and the greatest care
should be taken to develop the man.
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 n 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 more scientific treat
ment of our two-year-old heifers If
all of them could be fed right for one
or two generations, the average prod
uct per COW of our diaries could be
easily raised 90 per cent. As soon as
the animal digests and assimilates
more than it wants for its daily susten-
ance, and all healthy animals can di-
gest more than is needed for their daily
wants, it seeks to do something with
it. Now it is the province Of the
breeder to direct this surplus energy
into specialized channels, as may be
desired, and creating a 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 amount
of surplus assimilated food, aud so the
animal may be induced to go on and in
crease its production until it has
reached the limit or end of the law of
its being. The change and variations
desired often come slowly, but each
additional generation may add some
thing valuable of surplus directed in
the channel best suited to minister to
the wants of maIind. Prof |. Z. Rob
