As to Your Ewes.

It is said that the health of the brr-
nctte type of eye is. as rule. superior
to that Of the blonde type. Black eyes
usually indicate good powers of physical
endurance. Dar;>-bluc eyes are most
common in persons of delicate, refined.
or effeminate natures. and generally
show weak health. Light-blue, and
much more. gray eyes indicate hardy
and active constitutions. With regard
to diseases of the eye, brown or dark
colorcd are weaker more susceptible
to injury from various causes than gray
or blue eyes. Light-!,lrc eyes are gen
orally the most powerful. and next to
those are gray. The lighter the pupil
the greater and longer continued is the
degree of tension the eye can sustain.

THE EFFECT OF SALT.
1t Aids Mate riaItS in this Digestion Of the
Food OF Cows.

1t Aids Materially in the Digestion Of the
Food OF Cows.
Salt given to cows has some effect on
thu, quantity Of the milk. This is nee
c:>s;,rily as the salt aids very much in
the digestion of the food, and it is the
quantity Of the food diGcstcd that reg
ulatcs the quantity and quality of the
milk. Salt is Indispensable to the
health Of any animal that feeds on veg
.table matter. and the milk is affected
greatly by the health opposite con-
dition of n COW. When salt l., given to
excess it is injurious and causes an in
tense thirst. but this does not necessar-
lily make the milk more watery than
uSu,>l. If the COW drinks more water than
is usual. there is no reason to bel eve
that this excess of water dilutcs the
milk. The milk is not made in any Zach
way as would make this possible. 1t is
produced by the breaking down Of the
.rland,.lar tissue of the uddCr. and this
never contains moro than u normal
quantity of water. The kidneys are

will always attend to it's own business.
and if it does no: cannot. for any
reason, the milk glands cannot perform
this function. but the cow becomes dis
eased at once. But this is Il question
tn at the careful farmer will never have
to consider, because he viii always take
care that such 4 supposed mistake will
never happen. 1t is only the careless
farmer who runs risks OF giving his
cows. or permitting them to get, too
much salt.-Col,nan's Rural World.

Build Wide Roa Il :

All roads should be made wide. 1t is a
mistake to suppose narrow roads are
the cheapest. OF course, when con-
structing a new road the cost is in pro-
portion to it's width, but a narrow road
is always the more expensive to main
tain. owing to the vehicles being COM
pclled to keep moro or less - one track
in the center, nothing being more de-
structivc than the constant wear in one
track. \ wide road is always more
c-enly worn all over, provided, of
course. that it is constructed according
to scientific principles and kept in good
repair.-Francis Fuller Mckenzie, G..

a REPUBLICAN, LEGACY.

The Present Financial Troubles Resulting
from, High Tariff.
In the present national financial stu.
alton, we are enjoying a legacy of re.
pu blican :id IN iniStratiOn of the govern.
ment.
Whatever uncertainties Enancl@rS
may think the future contains. and
whatever menace to public confidence
they fear it holds, must be credited di-
reet]y to the party whose creed is that
it is the only party of sufficient intclli-
gcncc and patriotism to attend to the
| public business of the country.
The drain of gold from the treasury
and the consequent sp"culations as to
the method by which our different
forms of money are to be maintained at
parity. resulting in the existing uncasi-
| ness and disturbance of business, are
due alone to the republican party.
1t was the repu blcan party which
passed I, tariff bill striking from our
customs list the principal revenue duties
and raising protective duties to. in
many instances, prohibitive rates, thus
decreasing the. revenue without de-
creaSing taxation.
1t was the republican party which,
while thus cutting down the national
income. plunged into Il series of protii-
gate expenditures never before dreamed
of in the widest orgies of Legislative
p1undcrcrs.
1t was the republican party which,
always loud in proclaiming it's fidelity
to sound money, entered into a dis
graceful oicl<er and compromise with
| the silver miners-a compromise which
it refused up to the last moment to re-
peal-by which the government has
lost millions Of dollars, and by which
the treasury is to-day drained of its gold
and will continue to be drained long
as the outrageous Sherman law remains
in force.
These are the immediate causes which
have produced the present condition OF
| the national finances, and cveSy one Of
these causes sprang directly from the
| very heart Of the policy which was the
| chief achievement and loudly-boastec
glory of the administration of BEN amin
| Harrison.

A WHALING STORY.
Captain Roses Lively Experience
With a Big Fish on Hatteras.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
Provincetown. Mass, Aug. lO.-"It's
wonder that I'm alive to-day TO tell the
story" said Captain Rose, of the brig ID.
A. Small, which has Just arrived at New
Bedford after a whaling cruise. As he
made this remark he pointed to a small
boat at the stern. which had about eight
feet off the port side, all the timbers being
broken and the forep0rt Off.
Captain Rose further said: 1--WE were
whaling on Hatteras grounds, and wanted
little more oil to fill up when we raised
a school of large whales. We lowered
our boats and the mate went on and
struck a 1S0-barrel bull sperm. The
whale was spouting blood, and, wishing
to make sure, / went TO the mates assist
ance, taking the bow of my boat to lance
the whale.
''Just as l raised my lance to dart, the

A SENATORIAL FAD.
Washington Statesmen Wear Clothing
Made of Kentucky Tow.
from the Plttsburg Dispatch-

from inc fllbSDuEB DlSpdbCh,
Washington, Aug 10.-Statesmen In
Washington have, during the past few
days of hot weather, developed growing
fad for the wearing of clothing made of
Kentucky tow 1t is very cheap mater
ial and looks as if it ought to be cheaper
than it is Senator Hawley had on one of
these suits the first day that congress
met and Tom Reeds graceful form was
enveloped in one to-day when he stood in
the aisle and flibustered against the
democratic plan of adjournment.
Senator Joe Blackburn is the original
sponsor of the Kentucky tow. During the
long session in 1890 he appeared in the
same day with two of these suits, which
most of the senators referred to as a
towel. General Hawley of Connecticut,
was very much impressed with its APP
pearance, however, and Senator Joe told
him where to get one.
The tow is very loosely woven and con-
sequently so cool as to be attractive, and
now Kentucky tow suits are as plentiful
in Washington as sashes were during the
Fifty-first congress when Tom Reed was
Speaker. Democrats, who wear these
suits call attention to them as an illus
tration of how cheap clothing will be
when the Mckinley tariff is wiped out,
while the republicans point to their suits
and say: This, you see, is the child of
protection. ="

that cannibalism is thing of the past

which arrived from Australia The yes

papers which gave an account of the kill

The tribes made a raid on the islands
and captured a number of the inhabitants.
among whom were fifteen women and
children. The slaughter during the fight
ing was terrific, and many people were
killed
The bushmen were victorious. and after
the fight the tribe held high carnival.
The following morning a party of traders
who happened to pass the spot found the
half-cooked remains and the skeletons of
ten human beings.
Although the natives try to conceal the
fact, the papers state, both head hunting
and cannibal feasts are practiced to a hor-

Their of Arthur Hicks, who shot Miss May
Nichols at Hampton, Ella, one week ago,
brought his son, Arthur, in this morning
and gave him up to the sheriff. The US
ual preliminary trial being heard, young
Hicks bond was fixed at 1000, which
was promptly made by his father and his
three uncles. Many of our very best citi-
zens think no bond should have been &C
cepted.
APPEALED FOR A STRONGER BOND.
Frank p. Nichols was present, and ap-
pealed to the judge to hold Arthur Hicks
under good bond, because his daughter,
the wounded girl, was by no means out of
danger. Still bond was allowed for the
small sum of 81 600.

LIKE THE EGYPTIAN PLAGUE.
Curious Disease Affecting Cattle
and Mankind in Southern Illi-


Springfield, Ill, Aug. 1O.-The state
board of Live stock commissioners has re-
turned from Southern Illinois, where
they investigated the new disease which
has broken out among cattle, horses and
sheep. They say about 500 cases have
been reported in Clay, Edwards and
Wayne counties, and the epidemic seems
to be extending southeastward in the
Wabash valley. DIR. TrumbOwer, state
veterinarian, who accompanied the COM
missiOners, pronounCeS the disease to be
anthrax which is caused by vegetable
poison that is deposited on some kind OF
plants. The disease is believed by many
to be nothing more than the plague of
ancient Egypt. 1t is communicable to
man, and is highly infectious. Flies
lighting on carcass readily
carry the plague to live animals. In mos
of these cases in Southern Illinois the
carcasses have been either buried or
dumped into a stream, and it is said that
the disease is spread in this way. When
a carcass is buried the ground above it
soon becomes filled with worms, which
communicate the pest The only safe way
to dispose of the dead bodies is to burn
them, and DIR. Scott, secretary of the
state board of health, will next week ac-
company the commissioners to the In
fected district and endeavor to have all
carcasses cremated. The malady affects
the throat and lungs, and animals sue
cumb to it quickly. With man, when
communicated by a fly, it takes form
resembling blood poisoning The patient
will probably recover with proper treat
ment, but is also likely to die.
