MOST WONDERFUL OF Cows.-Moses
Wifi, of Rose Bank, Staten Island, has a
curious and valuable Attorney COW. She
is very large and has hollow on her
back which will hold over gallon of
water, and the cow always stands in
the rain until the hollow is filled. It is
then absorbed through the pores and
she gives that much additional milk,
but, odly enough, this curious phenom-
epon does not take place il ordinary
water is poured into the hollow spot.
Mr.. Wifi states that the process is even
more strange if there happens to be a
rainbow during the shower, as in that
case the cream that rises on the milk
takes on all the beautiful colors of
mother-of-pearl.

THE FACT that the leaders of the anti
German, so-called, democrats of Mary
land advise their deluded followers to
vote the republican ticket in that State,
as the only possible means by which
the regular democracy there can be de-
feated, should, and doubtless will, be
sufficient to make the Maryland demo-
Gratis more united than ever. The na-
tional democratic party would be in
much better condition than it is, if the
democratic leaders in all the States
were as wise as Senator German.

TRAVELLERS, who have been there, say
that Pretoria, the capital of Transvaal,
is the most quiet and orderly, and best
governed city in the civilized world,
and they attribute that condition to the
TACT that the prescribed penalty of
every crime committed there, except
murder, is certain number of
stripes, half to be administered
on the prisoners admissionto the
block-house, and half when they
leave it. But the block-house is so
constructed that all who want to es-
cape from it may do so without difficult
ty. II is needless to say that the latter
half of the punishment is never in
flicted.

TRAMPs ARE again becoming numer-
Gus. In some of the New England
cities they are sent to the workhouse
aud compelled to labor for their bread
and meat and lodging, and until they
earn enough to speed them on their
way to other places. By such sys-
tenn the cities referred to have relieved
themselves almost entirely of the nui-
sance. Some modern Virginians are
very prone 10 adopt New England

JUDGING from the number of steam
waist Ties in Alexandria, a stranger
would suppose that this is one of the
most active and industrious cities of the
world, for from dawn till twilight, and
from moon rise to sun UP, they are in-
ccssantly heard, those of the mills and
fictories during the day, and those OF
steamboats, and locomotives all night
long. AS almost every body nova
days has either watch OF a clock, the
necessity of this constant blowing is
not apparent, and its "vexing the
,irowsy ear of night" is intensely an
noying to those whose brains and mus
cles require rest. There is no more
real use for steam whistles in cities
low, than there would be for the long
since disused gongs in hotels.

KELLY'S DECISION.

It seems that Judge Kelly does
not concur in Judge Sanborn's de-
cision regarding the consolidation
scheme of J. J. Hills. Last Sat
urday Judge Kelly handed down
his decision in the action brought by
Attorney General Childs to restrain
the proposed consolidation of the
Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific, in which he holds exactly OPP
posite to Judge Sanborn, of the
United States circuit court. His de-
cision is somewhat exhaustive as he
carefully defines the different acts as
amended and passed from time to
time by the different legislative
bodies. He holds that according to
the law at present in force it is I'M
lawful for the two roads to enter into
any kind of a consolidation, either
traffic or ownership, In his closing
remarks, Judge Kelly says, "The con-
elnsion | have reached, [ believe, is
not alone strictly legal, but is to the
very best interest of the state of Min
nesota and of all the states crossed
by these roads, and also in the true
interest of the defendant itself"
Judge Kelly is to be commended
on ais fair and impartial decision on
sich an important question, which
Wa have no doubt will be affirmed by
the supreme court, as an appeal will
undoubtedly be taken to that
tiaaaai
Another public gentleman, and true

this noted case. That gentleman is
Attorney General Childs. Although
he had some of the best legal talent
in the Northwest pitted against him
he succeeded in coming out on top.
1t is also gratifying to know that G.
K. Davis, a false representative of the
people and faithful to monopoly, was
one of the attorneys underneath.
The people along the lines of these
two roads may now rest easier and
feel assured that it will not be in the
days Of the present generation that
j. j. Hill will gobble up the Northern
Pacific.

Bottlins Cider.

Cider may be bottled after the vinous
fermentation is ended, but preferably
after six or eight weeks ripening of the
liquor. It may be bottled as ''still' or
sparkling" cider. In the former case
it is 'pasteurized. - The cider is first
filtered through flannel, then bottled
and placed in vessel of water, which is
heated to not less than 140 degrees nor
more than 100 degrees, kept so about> 3
minutes, then allowed gradually to cool
and the bottles laid away on their sides.
For sparkling cider there is added rock
candy or refined sugar-four ounces per
gallon-to cider not pasteurized, but suf-
ficiently ripened. After corking and
wiring it should be placed in cellar
Of cool, even temperature.
