PERSONNEL OF THE COMMISSION
Lincoln and Phelps, and Probably a
Supreme Justice.

New York, Dec. 26.-In connection
with the appointment of Messrs. Phelps
and Lincoln by the President to places
on the Venezuelan high commission,
the Worlds Washington correspondent
is informed that Mr.. Lincoln was Sec
rotary Olney's only selection, and that
Chief Justice Fuller of Illinois also
strongly recommended him on the
ground that a report signed by two
former American Ministers to England,
both of whom have been warmly
praised by the British press for many
years, will have much weight in Great
Britain. 1t is urged, the correspondent
states, that public opinion in England
cannot ascribe to such men as Phelps
and Lincoln any prejudice against
England, where they are both very
popular. The third member of the
commission, he says, is likely to be one
of the Associate Justices of the United
States Supreme court, probably either
Justice Brewer or Justice Brown.

or Brewer The appointment of either

Mr.. Lincoln, would give the majority

This fact would, it is stated, relieve
the President from any suspicion that
he was working for the aggrandize-
ment of his own party in creating ar
international issue. The announcement
of the commission is now expected to
be made on next Monday.

DRAINING PASTURES.
IN MANY Cases 1t Can He Made to Pay
Handsomely.

In MANY Cases 1t Gan he Made to: Pay:
Handsomely.
The impression is quite common that
it will not pay to underdrain pasture
land, says Drainage Journal. There
are pasture lands; that it will not pay
to drain, but it is also true that in many
instances it will pay to underdrain, in
part, at least, lands used for grazing
purposes. In passing through the
country we see many acres Of pasture
land which, if sufficiently underdrained,
would be very valuable. AS they are
now they are practically worthless, at
fording only wild and unnutritious
grasses, worth but little for grazing
purposes; in fact, such lands are dis
ease breeders of the live stock which
have the run of them. Pastures which
need undertakings may be cared for
so as to present good appearance to
the casual observes, but when CAREFUL
ly examined are found to grow grasses
of little value. If they have been seed
ed to tame grass there is such a mix
ture of water grasses with the tame
that the pasture is poor.
If a landowner is doubtful as to the
benefits of undertaking such land, let
him put in one or more tile drains with
good outlets and observe the result
The wild sour grasses will disappear
and the tame grass sod will thicken and
grow luxuriantly. The live stock are
good judges. In grazing they will
keep the grass near the drains cropped
closely because it is more palatable to
the taste and more nutritious. We are
confident that the value of thousands
of acres of pasture lands could be
greatly enhanced if underdcained,
which are, in their present condition,
practically worthless. Those who
have given little attention to TIE real
condition of their grazing lands will
be surprised in careful examination of
their condition. It will soon become
apparent to them that where there is
one blade of good, nutritious grass,
four or five may be made to grow by

CHEAP FARM PAINT.
1t Gives Satisfactory Finish on Either
Wood or St0ne

1t Gives Satisfactory Finish on Either
Wood or Stone.
A method of painting farm buildings
and country houses, while by no means
new, is yet SO little known and so de.
serving of wider application as to war
rant description. The paint has but
two parts, both cheap materials, being
water lime or hydraulic cement and
skimmilk. The cement is placed in
bucket, and the skimmilk, sweet, is
gradually added, stirring constantly
until just about the consistency of
good cream. The stirring must be
thoroughly done to have an even flow,
and if too thin the mixture will run on
the building and look streaked The
proportions cannot be exactly stated,
but a.gallon Of milk requires fullquart
of cement, and sometimes little more.
This is a convenient quantity to mix
at time for one person to use. If too
much is prepared, the cement will set
tie and harden before all is used.
A Hat paint brush about four inches
wide is the best implement to use with
this mixture. Lay it on exactly as with
oil paint. 1t can be applied to wood
work, old or new, and to brick and
stone. When dry, the color is light
creamy brown, or what some would
call yellowish stone color. The skim
milk cement paint, well mixed, with-.
out adding color has a good body, gives
smooth satisfactory finish on either
wood or stone and wears admirably

EFFECT OF MUZZLES.

Thor Enforced Use has Changed tho
Erced OF London Dogs.
The muzzling order has now been so
lorg in operation that one is 8 bic to see
its practical results, at all events 50 far
as London is concerned, says the Lon-
don News. They are really very remark
able, especially from u point Of view not
likely to be immediately-taken.
The supremacy of the fox TERROR is
gone. One misses the little, vivid white
spots that moved about so quickly and
made streets and thoroughfares gay,
and, it must be admitted, noisy. Most
of these dogs were morgrels, and, being
of no appreciablc value, and probably of
no clearly defined ownership. they
passed quickly in wholesale way into
the lethal chambers. London is rid of
them, but at all our towns the white
terrier with the odd markings is still in
the ascendant.
On the other hand, here in town we
have the Irish and the Scotch. These
are MS yet pretty pure; they keep rather
to themselves, after the manner Of the
prcrincials, but in couple Of years
mongrelism will assert itself, and Lon.
don will be overrun. Asst is the hardy
little Aberdeen, with his long body,
short legs and nondescript markings
OF black and gray and mustard, holds
the street, and the Irish terrier loafs
about, social and easy-going.
They are both excellent in their own
way, but for all that, one misses the
sharp, quick vitality of the fox terrier.
