HORNS AND MILK.
How Veterinary Would Increase the Use
fulDcss of Cows.

How Veterinary Would Increase the Cse-
= fulDcss of Cows.
The removal or suppression of the
horns of cows increases the supply of
milk, and the animal fattens better;
the fact is a strange one, says the Bos-
ton Globe, but there is no doubt about
it. The horns are not of much use. and,
on the other hand, are often the cause
of accidents.
The removal of the horns of young
animals was recommended years ago
by distinguished veterinary surgeon,
and Neumann demonstrated that COWS
without horns were fatter and gave
more milk than Others
He saw four Dutch cows without
horns give from eighteen to nineteen
quarts of milk a day although on in
different pastures. whereas others of
the same breed, but with horns. only
gave twelve to fifteen quarts. in spite
of the fact that they had the advantage
of excellent grazing land. American
breeders have made experiments
which amply confirm the statements
made above.
AhooC III id'or VI tiIc REMOVAL Oh
the horns do not in the least intend to
countenance any act of cruelty; the
removal would be effected in a Sim
pie and easy manner. by destroying
the tissue or root of the horn, as soon
as there was the slightest sign of hard
ening on the forehead of the young
animal.
But without entering into any dis
cussion on this head. simply note the
fact that the removal of the horns in
creases the supply of milk.
Although strange at first sight, it
does not appear SO extraordinary upon
consideration. 1t is known by expert
ence that the removal of an organ
which has no utility leads to beneficial
results in other ways.

The Department of Agriculture has
recently issued phamphlet prepared
by Edward Atkinson showing how
cheaply one can live if one knows how.
Mr.. Atkinson proceeds to give detailed
items OF how a man can live on dollar
week, for food, and declares that the
individual may cook in his own room
in far better, and bring the food TO a
much more appetizing digestible con-
dition. than any food he can get at any
common restaurant or boarding house
at a reasonable price.
The man who is to live on a dollar a
week, or $409 month. will use %
pounds of flour, cost IS cents; IL
pounds of grain at 4S cents; 9 pounds
of butter, Sc cents; 2 pounds OF suet,
10 cents; 2 pounds of sugar, 10 cents
10 pounds of potatoes, % cents, and 7
pounds each of beets, carrots, onions,
squash, cabbage and parsnips, costing
% cents. For meat he will use beef
neck or shin-mutton neck, bacon, beef
liver, veal and salt pork, at cost OF
$1.7S for month.
The writer goes on with details
at greater length, illustrating that
with more economy the cost of living
could be greatly reduced and the health
OF the people increased. The pamph-
let is chiefly interesting from q
statistical standpoint. The American
people are not anxious to adopt the
ready made plans that may perforce be
successfully put in operation in Eu-
rope.

THE OFFICE OF SPEECH.
benefits to De Derived from q Fluent
Tongue,


Tongue.
The possession of the marvellous and
intricate faculty of articulate speech,
says writer in Godey's, seems no
more miraculous to the unthinking
than do the eternal varieties of eating,
drinking and sleeping. Yet the for
mer is arbitrary and conventional, the
invention of mau-perhaps not con-
fined to him, if Prof. Garner of monkey
speech fame is to be believed-while
the latter are natural, absolutely COM
mon, and the sine qua non of existence.
The office of speech-the celebrated
French diplomat to the contrary not
withstanding-is to convey thought.
How important then, that this vehicle
OF thought transference, this common
carrier of ideas, this carriage laden
with the most delicate and elusive of
burdens, nothing less than the very es-
sence of the soul-perishable freight,
indeed-should be carefully watched
and developed to its highest and best
capacity.
The comparative ease with which the
average individual may be taught to
express the thoughts of himself or 9TH
ers in an intelligent, Ineligible. even
pleasing fashion, makes it seem almost
criminal to neglect such a vast possible
addition to the general good.
In none of the arts-for reading is
not only an art, but the noblest of
them all-does general information,
education and intelligence count for so
much.

There was woman Of dignified bear
ing and apparent intelligence standing
at post.box the other day, says the
New York World. She dropped in sew
eral letters and gazed hesitatingly at a
small package which she held. She
glanced about for assistance in her
problem, and her eyes lit upon po-
liceman. 81 beg your pardon" she
said, sweetly, holding the package up
for his inspection, but do you think
that there are enough stamps on this
to carry it?" And such is the chival-
rous attitude of man toward perplexed
woman that the policeman said,
promptly, without making even an at
tempt to weigh the package in his
hand: "Oim shure there's enough,
ma am" Her doubts banished by this
statement. the lady dropped her bum
die and went on her wav rejoicing.

form.

We, the Democracy of Thurs.on county in con-
vention assembled, do declare the following prin-
ciples, to-wit:
ciated by the Democratic National Convention of
1892 and the Democratic State Platform as adopt.
ed at Olympia the same year, and We commend
the course of President Cleveland since his inar-
q ration on March 4. 1898, including his letter to
Wilson and his letter TO Catchings. In these
letters his course may have lacked precedent,
but II precedent was needed he has made one
and Il good one.
We denounce the Reilly funding bill as unwise
and nnpatriotic and demand that our Representa-
tive in Congress shall use every effort to further
the foreclosure of the Government mortgage on
the Union and Central Pacific railroads, and that
one transcontinental railroad shall be owned,
controlled and operated by the Government and
for the benefit of the people.
We believe that every department of our ma
tlonal, State. county and municipal government
should be conducted on principles of the most
rigid economy in order that the people may be
relieved from the present burdensOme taxation.
We believe that the county offices should be
kept open continuously from O'Clock in The
morning until at least O'Clock in the afternoon
whenever an officer Ia allowed deputy.
We believe every energy Of legislation should be
exerfed TO further the construction of good roads
in order that all classes Of the community NAV be-
benefited and more particularly the farmers.
We denounce those Senators Of the United
states who opposed the passage Of the Wilson
tariff bill false to the COUNTRY fall TO the marty
false to their pledges and false to themselves
We believe silver should be restored to the place
it occupied in the and circulation Of the
word:before 1t was dcmOnetized by the infamous
Republican legislation Of 1873.
We believe that the use of the telegraph is too
great convenience to business for Its rates to be
controlled by monopolies, and to bring II within
reach of the people we favor government control
and operation of the principal lines In connection
with the United States mail service.
We pledge our members of the Legislature to
such legislation will cut of all superfious
clerks and commissions now maintained by the
State and paid from the peoples money, and we
also pledge our Representatives TO secure such
legislation as may relieve the oppressed taxpayer
acted for delinquent taxes now due or to become
due.
We pledge our County Commissioners to keen
the running expenses of such county offices a.

fees, as the law provides.

SEVERAL KINDS OF AN ANIMAL.
The Platypus, OF Australia, Which Looks
Like Birds and Beasts.

The Plstypus. OF Australia. Which Looks
Like Birds and Beasts.
It is less than a century since the
European hunted the platypus to his
lair, the first published account Of him
having appeared in the Naturalist's
Miscellany of London in 1899. Itwould
be interesting to know the effect that
was made upon the first discOverer OF
what Scribner's calls an animated para
doX-than which nature furnishes
nothing more anomalous, in its COM
bination of duck-like mandibles and
webbed feet, the latter further
equipped with spurs like the game
fowl and claws like the true burrow-
ing quadrupeds, mole-like eyes and
otter-like fur, body of musquash and
tail of beaver. One who was addicted
to his cups might recognize in the
creature merely the Pigment of an al
coholized brain. and an artist regard
him as the prototype of one of those
uncanny monsters which sprawl upon
the floor of st. Anthony's cave in Ten
iers' bizarre pictures of the temptation
Of that holy character. Our earliest

of the platypus are confined to bald
and literal descriptions of his appear
ance and habitat, from which we learn
that he is confined to Tasmania and
the southern districts of Australia; and
although his race has been thought to
embrace two or three species. it is now
generally agreed to consist of only one.
You may repair many times to the
favorite haunt of the platypus before
you see him, and to discover the re-
treat to which he modestly retires on
observing your presence is task inn
possible, except by accident, to any
other than a black fellow. To these
cunning hunters, however, there are
90 secrets of beast or bird; their I'M
erring instinct tells them when the
platypus, diving near the edge of the
stream, is in quest of food, or when he
is seeking the submerged entrance to
his burrow; and they will advise you
either where to point your gun in ex-
eectation of the animals temperance,
IT where to dig in the bank in con-
ddence of striking the grass-lined nest
wherein he dwells and rears his re-
markable family

The Life of Niagara.

Concerning the wearing away of Nj
agara Falls, Prof. lie Comic says: The
upper stratum of rock is Niagara lime
stone, hard rock, but beneath it is a
stratum of shale. 1t is the slow under
inning of this shale that causes the lime
stone to break off from year to year
and the falls to recede. They are reced-
ing now at the rate of three or four
feet year. What will be the final re-
suit? They may go back to the lake,
but the limestone is growing thicker
and thicker and may finally extend to
the bottom of the falls. In that case
the rock would not break off, but would
wear away and form rapids. In any
case, if the falls should recede to Lake
Erie, at the present rate it would take
at least twenty thousand years"

The discomfort of excessive vibra-
ton on board the fast sailing ocean
steamers has increased SO much with
the increase in the speed of travel that
Investigations have been made into
the subject with a view of modifying
the inconvenience caused to passen-
gers. An apparatus has been devised
for measuring and registering the vi
brations. Apart from the experience
gained with warships and torpedo
boats, vibration has been observed in
recent times on all the large fast mer-
chant steamers. The usual idea is that
this vibration is due to the action Of
the powerful engines. This, however,
is erroneous, for it is now found that
the cause consists solely in the unison
between the number of revolutions Of
the engines and the number of vibra-
tons of the ship. T..

JAPANESE WAR SONGS.
They All Breathe of N Spiritual Bit.
termess Toward China.


The spirit OF the people is shown in
the war songs sung by the Japanese
troops as they push toward Peking.
The songs were officially compiled by
Prince Arisugawa. They breathe great
bitterness against China, and declare
that now is the time to plant the flag
OF the Rising Sun on the walls OF Pek-
ing and to illuminate its darkness.
Each verse of the song begins and ends
with "Strike and chastise China"
Various verses describe the Chinese as
arrogant and insolent, with an army
of towards" The Chinese troops
war songs say OF the Japanese:
"They are an undisciplined rabble,
and however fine their arms look, they
are useless, like fine ladies in pictures"
Tie japanese Minister of Finance
has officially made announcement that
the war will not be allowed to inter-
rupt the internal improvement Of
Japan. Consequently railway con-
struction is to proceed with the same
vigor as in peaceful times. The Min
lister has arranged so that the treasury
shall keep separate accounts OF war
expenses and those for internal i'm
provements in order that the former
may not overshadow the latter. The
late customs-house reports in Japan
show that her trade with the United
States is greater than with any other
power. The total trade last year was
about 100000 yen. British trade,
which comes second, is 100000 yen.
The Japanese people and press are
retorting to the Chinese Emperor's
proclamation directing that the Jap
anese "wo jen," meaning pigmies,
should be driven to their lairs. The
Chinese are being called chau chau,"
meaning puerility;" toupi kau," mean
ing pig-tailed vagabonds. China is re-
ferred to as" mei-se-kuku," the country
in which the people cannot make up
their minds. The Japanese papers are
already printing cuts showing the
rout OF the Chinese on land and sea.
