Wonderful Cures of u Shepherd.

From the London Daily News.
Wonderful cures are attributed by ig-
norant German peasants to a shepherd
named Asst Of Radeburg, who processes
to diagnose diseases by inspecting the
hair of the neck of his patients. AL
though this quack has repeatedly been
fined for this illegal exercise of medicine
he seems well enough off to pay his
fines and to continue TO defy the law.
An amusing instance Of credullty came
to light at the hearing of the case the
last time he was prosecuted. A man
from Bremervoerde went to consult him
with regard to some real or imaginary
ailment. Asst inspected his back hair,
and then calmly prescribed an hour
and half's wood-chopping exercise. 1t
seems that Mrs. Asst wanted some wood
chopped, and Mr Asst hit upon this very
practical expedient for gratifying her.
The patient, strange to say, submitted
to perform the task in the full conf
dence that it would cure him.

THE PANAMA CANAL.
An Engineering Scheme Which May Soon
BE Utilized.

Bo OJluZeus
One Of the latest engineering schemes
concerning the Panama canal proposes
the construction of four locks-two at
each end of a central level only seven
ty-five feet above the ocean--instead Of
the old plan of several levels and from
eight to ten locks between 122 and It's
feet above the sea. AS this would in
volVe an increased amount of rock and
soil cutting, it is proposed by M. Bartis-
SOL the author of the plan, to dispose
of the extra material thus eXcavated by
constructing a thirteen-foot tunnel,
some OOOO feet in length through which
the debris will be washed, water for
this purpose to be brought through an
open channel from q dam on the Cha
gres river: that is. there would be al
lowed a fall of about one foot to every
thousand of length, the current filing

markets of the next few months. the
short corn crop Of last year Is no doubt
to a considerable extent responsible for
the shortage Of good cattle at present,
but aside from this there are ln1lca-
lions that the turn Of the long lane
of depression in the beef industry has
been reached at last. The "cattlo fam
inc so often prophesled and never real
lied may not be upon us, but there
seems to be such q shortage In the
number of beef cattle as to promise fair
prices for some time to come under
normal conditions as to consumption
Of beef. Not for many years has there
been such feeling Of confidence
among beef makers as Mt present,
though prices a couple Of years ago
were almost as high as now.
Breeders of pure bred cattle have
had rough road to travel for solne
years, but those now in position to
supply the demand for good stock will
probably get the reward they deserve
for sticking to their business. There
has been during the past decade a
great sacrifice of breeding herds all
over the country, especially east OF the
Mississippi, where the dairy breeds
have been pushed forward. OF the
many choice beef herds Of the Ohio val
ley ten or twenty years ago few re-
main, and there has been no induce
ment for new breeders to enter the
field. Should the promise Of returning
prosperity for the beef producer be full
filled there will be vast increase in
the demand for pure bred stock, which
is already active, and a shortage in the
supply OF good pure bred beef cattle
Is not improbable under these circum-
stances.-Nationa Stockman.

There were in 1894, 4OO,OOO,OOO bush

100000, 900 less of corn in 1894 than in
1893. Over much Of the United States
during the last eight months corn has

mate the actual quantity Of wheat fed

been obtained with much labor and

Teedlng Whent to 1Iorscs.

D. MNaught, a veterinary surgeon
addressing a farmers convention in
Manitoba, said that some authorities
regard wheat as injurious when fed to
horses freely. But his experience dis
proves this, as In the years when that
section had large quantities Of frozen
wheat almost every one fed more or
less wheat to save their oats, which
were fit for sale. and thousands of ami
mails were fed wholly on wheat with
out any bad effect. Most people began
feeding in small quantities at first,
but they gradually increased the al
lowance until pailful Of frozen wheat
was fed to a good large farm horse
three times day, with no bad results.
In his judgment, however, the best food
for general purposes available in Man
itoba, is oats. But most people are in
clined to feed their horses too many
oats and not give them sufficient vare-
ty. They will give them hay and oats for
1865 days in the year and think they
have done their whole duty. AS well
ask man to live on salt pork and po-
tatoes three times a day from years
end to years end and nothing else, and
expect him to remain healthy.

Very small green onions do not sell,
neither do very large, coarse, strong
onions. 1t is only medium size, young
and tender onions that are wanted. The
onion part should be clean and white,
with the first outer coating carefully
removed. The tops should remain on
unless trimmed few inches from the
top, so as to have them look nice, any

They should be carefully tied in

best package to use, for when in large
packages they may become heated.
This package is also easy to handle.

Progress of Civil Service Reform.
Henry Macfarland in Boston Herald.

No one has any doubt now that the prip-
ciples of civil service reform will be applied
to all the Offices of the government, and
that in all probability this work will be ac-
complished before the present admnistra-
ton goes out of power, and the most anti
quated spokesman has no real belief that he
will ever be able to get the old system re-
stored even in very limited way Presi-
dent Cleveland has extended the civil ser
vice rule to the last stronghold of the
spokesman in the federal service-the gov
eminent printing ofIice-so that there is
now no government place outside of the
classified service except the administrative
offices, the offices known chiefs of d.
visions and the private secretaries, together
with the charwomen and such humble la
borers, and these excepted places-only a
few score all told-will probably be brought
within the rules before the 4th of March,
1897. l believe that the consular service
and the smaller post-oftices will also be in
Guided by that time. Even the offices of
the' District of Columbia, for which the
spoilsmen have hitherto clamored when
they could not get their followers in else
where, have row, by the wise and brave
action of the Commissioners of the District
of Columbia, been brought under civil SER
vice rules, SO that 1t can now be said that
there is practically no way of getting an
office in the District of Columbia except
through the examinations of the civil ser
vice commission.

OF taxes-rendered necessary by valuable
improvements that were being made
throughout the whole municipal admins
tration-resulted disastrously to the party
which through its agents had done the
best 1t possibly could to cleanse. to beauti-

way the greatest city in the world. Expert
ence Of the liberal candidates in London is
not at all unique; it has many times been
duplicated on this side of the Atlantic.
People cry aloud for improvements and
undoubtedly enjoy all the varieties of
municipal betterment that the ingenious
mind of modern man can suggest or devise,
but the great bulk of the population kicks
with exceeding force when the bill is pre-
scented and has to be paid. Another factor
in the defeat is the home rule issue. Lib
eral advocacy of home rule for Ireland
caused the loss of every "unionist" vote In
the English constituencies, without secur-
ing all of the home-rule Irish votes, jealous
wrangling among the Irish factions alien
ating enough voters to cause the loss OF

est advocate of Irish home rule, who was
defeated because Parnellite Votes were
withheld from him. The Irish have them
selves been largely instrumental in post
