A Tower 100 Feet High at Chicago.

There is nothing small about Chicago,
either in its pretensions or its perform
ances. A company of capitalists has pro-
posed to the West park board the construc-
ton of a steel tower 100 feet high, which
will overtop the Eiffel tower and look down
on the Ferris wheel as pigmy. The cost
is estimated at 100000 The probability
of the financial success of the scheme is
dubious, but if reliable concern offers to
undertake the project Chicago is not likely
to forego the opportunity to welcome an
enterprise which would so widely advertise
the go-ahead spirit of the Lake City.

No More Seals IL Years Hence.

DR.. Francis Bacon of New Haven has
just returned from trip to Alaska. He
says that it is the view of the best-informed
men of Alaska that the seals will be exter-
minated in II years. He says; "Arbitra-
ton came too late to save the seals, but
the immense fisheries of salmon, cod and
halibut could not have reached their de-
sired development had the seals, the nat
ural enemies of the fishes, been allowed
to thrive" DR.. Bacon says that the peo-
pie of Alaska are very much excited over
the proposed change of boundary. They
assert that the Canadians have no author
ity for wanting the new lines, which would
throw open the gold fields of Alaska to the
British through tue proposed railroad they
wish to construct.

fined and sentenced to prison.
Sometime later the child died from the
effects of the assault. Ross was re-arraigned
on charge of manslaughter and the grand
jury found a true bill against him. His
lawyer entered a demurrer, but Judge Del

dictment, and he will, therefore, be tried
for manslaughter, after once having paid
the penalty for his assault on the victim.

The Horrible Record of the Michigan
Miners.

Ten of the victims of the Osceola mich }
fire were buried Friday and the others on
Saturday. Every hearse in the county was
pressed into service, and the mines were
idle, the miners being kept busy going from
one funeral to another. In addition to the
80 killed in the Osceola week ago, four
miners have since been killed at Calumet
by minor accidents. In the seven years
ending with 1894, 532 men were killed by
accidents at the mines of the upper PENN
sula of Michigan and the recent disasters
will bring the list to more than 600.

The Harvest Outlook.

During the last two weeks the crops
have greatly improved. 1t is estimated
that the corn crop on an area of S2,0O0,-
600 acres will be, in round numbers, from
2,2S7 900 to 2,32S,000, 900 bushels
The oat crop is estimated at 734,000,00C
bushels, which is above the annual aver
age. The cotton crop is disappointing. II
may pick up somewhat before frost comes
but the wheat harvest will be very light
The corn crop is estimated at 607,000,O0C
bushels above the average. Taken as 9
whole, the harvest of 1895 will not be in
ferior to that of 1894.

c. l.. BARRIERS Remedy for Manager
Gnswing.

Gnswing.
c. L. Barber of Bellows Falls tells the
Mirror and Farmer how he "got around"
a valuable horse whose only fault was that
of manger gnawing After he had eaten
his hay and grain he kept right on eating
anything else in his reach, and outside the
stable would grab a mouthful of wood or
gnaw pole at every chance. As to the
remedy Mr.. Barber says: 81 bought the
horse in December and very soon com
menced feeding him on wood pile and
in February and March following l cut
about two cords of poplar wood, some that
had nice, smooth, soft bark, and also a
cord of rock maple, young thrifty trees full
of sap. fixed some racks around yard
the horse had to run in and daily put in
four or six sticks of wood for him to gnaw
upon. l never knew him to gnaw his man
ger or any part of his stall after that. It's
too late now to cut wood for this purpose
for the sap and bark are dried up, but neX'
spring give this recipe good trial. There
is some tonic about poplar bark that is very
beneficial to horse in the spring of thu
year"

doubtedly true, the question arises:
How can we get along without n navy

that having guns of such tremendous
power will tend to demoralize naval
armament. 1t will, however, make
this portion of our defenses less useful
and effective than heretofore. 1t will
probably do away with the enormous
" heavy and unwieldly ironclad and
favor the introduction of faster and
lighter craft. Ships of war will carry
smaller guns and lighter equipment
generally. and depend more on quick
ness of movement and strategy than
on the great bulk and resistive power
of the ordinary monitor. 1t is a great
pity that intelligent Christian lands

KEEP A FARM RECORD.

1t viii Not Only Make You Wiser But
Add to Your Wealth.
Every farmer is to Il great extent
n manufacturer and ought to keep Il
record of his operations. This is the
key 10 success in any business. But
the soil-tiIler should attend to some
other matters in connection with his
accounts. A writer in an exchange sug-
gests the map of the farm, with each
field numbered, and its size, quality OF
soil, ETC., specified, will be a great aid
in keeping track Of the years transac-
ton. How many farmers have such Il
guide and convenience? And how
many kept such n memorandum the
past year as will enable them to tell
the expense OF each crop grown? And
how about the domestic animals? Il
YOU keep cows, what have they paid
you per head in the aggregate? And
what of sheep, swine, and even chick
ems? How much did each contribute
to your income, and which was the most
profitable?
Those who can answer these peril
nent questions must be well advised in
regard to their financial position, and
need no admonition; but we fear many
are utterly unable to give any detailed
account of their farming operations,
or whether the balance is on the RICH;
OF wrong side of the ledger. 1t is
needless to say that such management
would soon wreck any commercial en-
terprise, and hence the frequent COM
plant that farming don't pay" is not
surprising. We would suggest that you
keep an accurate account of your do
ings. and you will not only be wiser, but,
ere long, richer in consequence. In
fact, resolve that you will know how.
you stand at the close of another year.
