Efforts Again Making to Revive the
Transcontinental Association.
CHICAGO, November 10.-Another Ell
fort will be made to revive the Trans
continental Passenger Association, and
the meeting for that purpose may be
held in Chicago November Is, although
the date is not certain. The Southern
Pacific is, as before, the principal mover
in the scheme, and it is understood that
it will make considerable concessions to
the direct California lines to induce
them to enter the association. These
concessions must be of very tangible
sort to induce Atchison and Topeka into
any plan for the reorganization of the
association. This road is not at the
present time in position to enter any
association obligations, nor will it be
until the present troubles between the
stockholders are adjusted. The Union
Pacific took objections, and they will
take some time to remove. Altogether
the prospects for the revival of the as
ISOLATION are not brighter than at the
time when the Southern Pacific tried to
warm it into life two months ago.

William Booths Health.

William Booth was born in 1929. He
seems to have been fortunate in his parent
age. His biographer says, His mother
was of SO amiable disposition and sanity
a character that he regarded her as the
nearest approach to human perfection with
which he was acquainted" At II William
became local preacher. AS to entering
the ministry. he had grave doubts on &C
count of his health. He underwent exam
nation by skilled physician, who pro-
nounced him totally unfit for the strain of
Methodist preachers life and assured him
that 10 months of it would land him in the
grave and send him to the throne of God
to receive punishment for suicide
In the light of after events this seems
very surprising. No man has done harder
work than William Booth or done it for
longer time. He has never spared himself
or allowed any one to suggest his inability
to keep it up indefinitely. New York Her

Remaykable Sight.
In eastern Siberia lies Lake Baikal, which
In 3 mile deep and has an area one-third
greater than Lake Erie. From November
to April it is frozen, and as the lake Ia part
OF the commercial highway between Russia
and China it is crossed in winter upon the
ice For about mile from shore the ice
had thin layer of snow over 1t, but we
gradually left this sort Of dazzling white
carpet and at length reached the clear ice,
when saw around me the most wonderful
and bewitching sight ever beheld.
Owing to the transparency of the water
the ice presented everywhere the appearance
of polished crystal, and although undoubt-
edly of great thickness was so colorless that
it was like passing over space. 1t gave me
at first an uncanny feeling to look over the
side of the sledge down into the black abyss
beneath. This feeling, however, gradually
changed to one of fascination, till at last
found it positively difficult to withdraw
my gaze from the awful depth, with moth
and eternity. believe that most travellers
on crossing the lake on the ice for the first
time experience the same weird and fasci-
ndClnS luuucHCc.
About half way across I stopped to make
sketch and take some photographs. 1t
was no easy matter, as found on getting
out of the sledge, for the ice was so slippery
that, in spite of my having felt snow boots
on, | could hardly stand. The deathlike
silence of the surroundings was occasional
ly broken, however, by curious sounds, as
though big guns were being fired at some
little distance They were caused by the
cracking of the ice here and there. l was
told that in some parts of the lake were
huge assures through which the water
could be seen.
It is for this reason that it is always adj
visable to do the journey by daylight. We
reached Mouishkay, on the opposite coast,
exactly ~ hours after leaving Liestbenitz,
the horses having gone the whole distance
of 80 miles with only two stoppages OF a
few minutes each. 1t was evidently an
easy bit of work for them, as they seemed
as fresh when we drew up in the POSTCARD
as when they started in the morning.

Wheat More Valuable Than Corn.

Wheat is more valuable than corn,
pound for pound, as feed where muscle
and lean meat are wanted. 1t is not
quite as valuable to feed to fattening
hogs, unless steamed or soaked thor
oughly. But, ground half and half with
corn, it will excel corn as straight feed,
as it furnishes the necessary food to g, ow
lean meat, making better pork for food
than the too-fat hog produces. For
nearly all other feed wheat is better than
corn. 1t should be crushed for cattle
and horses, though horses, if their teeth
are good, will do well on entire wheat
Sheep do we'll on it, fed whole. Tens of
thousands of sheep in the Northwest are
fed each winter on wheat and fitted for
the markets. Chickens thrive wonder
fully we'll on wheat; in fact, know Of
no better feed for hens desired to lay,
unless it be green bone ground. 1t is
necessary to use some judgment in start
ing horses on wheat feed, and it might
be better to grind one third corn with it
at first, until they get used to it, and
feed less quantity than of oats or corn.
But it will be surprise to any one to
see the sleek coat it will put on horse
properly fed.

MARKS ON A BALLOT.
Important Decision Rendered
in Michigan.
WHAT'SA DISTINGUISHING MARK
The Supreme Court of That State HOLDS

That One Mark is Sufficient, and That
Second Distinguishing One is H.
legal Under the Law.
LANSING, Mich, November 1O.-The
Supreme Court to-day handed down a
most important decision affecting the
present method of voting. On the ques-
ton of what constitutes Distinguishing
mark on a ballot, which mark is pro-
hibited by law, the court unanimously
held that any mark other than the sim
gle one appropriate to designate the IN
tention of a voter is distinguishing
mark. The case was brought in the con-
testing of the rights to office of two local
candidates at Bay City, who were osten-
sibly elected at spring election year
and half ago. By the decision both
are ousted from office. The effect of
this decision will be far-reaching.
The court holds that if, two tickets
on an official ballot are Identical, the
marking of cross over each is Illegal.
Also that to mark a cross over any ticket
and then before each name on such ticket
or placing cross before the name OF
candidate and then erasing the name of
his opponent on another ticket is illegal.
In substance the opinion holds that
single mark in vote is sufficient to in
dictate the voters intention, and a Sec
ond mark might be agreed upon as a
means of Identification. 1t has been the
practice of election inspectors to count
all such doubly marked ballots, SO that
under this decision any of the elections
held under the Australian system may,
it is believed, be contested.

The Southe Pacific Will Make a Ma

SAN Francisco, November 10.-The
Southern Pacific officials say that Janu-
uary l a new schedule of freight rates
will be put in force, by which a material
reduction in the cost of hauling grain
from the interior to tide water will be
made. The reason assigned for the re-
duction is that the farmers are unable to
realize upon their grain at the present
rates. To prevent falling off in the
grain production and to encourage farm
ers the reduction will be especially great
for points at some distance from tide
water. Applying the reduction on the
tonnage to tide water in 1884, it
amounts to a reduction of practically
$233, 900.

Preserving Green Food for Winter.

ITescTtInS UTcCh oou AoA ;"
How to preserve green food is no
longer a problem. Use grass, clover,
corn fodder (the blades only, cabbage,
turnip tops, beet leaves, or any green
material that the hens will accept, but
use only such substances as are fully
matured, but not dry; that is, do not
use materials that have seeded, but only
such as are in the milky stage, or just
when the seeds are about to form. Cut
all the materials fine, half-inch lengths,
and pack it in barrel, hogshead or box
that is tight and strong enough to resist
pressure. Have a loose top that will
drop down to the bottom of the barrel
or whatever receptacle may be used, but
which nearly fits in the top, only it must
not be too tight to 60 into the barrel.
Place this head on the green material
and put few heavy stones on the head,
so as 10 give pressure on the materials,
which will exclude the air. More green
food can be added as the contents press
down. The food will keep year, and
can be used from time to time as re-
quired, replacing the covering as often
as a portion of the contents are removed.
