Eow to Judge a Cow.

The best sign for richness of milk
in cow is the deep orange color IN
side the ears. This is said to be IN
falible, but there are other points
that assist the expert in making his
selection from number. After ex-
aiming the ears, feel the skin on
the rump and observe that it should
be soft, veivety and fall again to its
position when the hand is removed
The hair should be fine and silky,
with a yellowish cast underneath
The milk veins should be very promi-
nent, uniform, and under we'll balanc.
ed. extending full to the rear, and
well forward in front to the main
milk ducts that extend along the bel
sly. The bones should be fine, the
eye mild and expressive. the body
showing tendency to avoid accu-
mnlating fats, the teats even and at
regular intervals, with the escutch-
con well defined, dandruff being cas-
lily rubbed therefrom, and the cow
should give indications of being a
good feeder.

We have had occasion several times
to cali attention to the bull-dozing
methods adopted aud pursued by money
corporations in the North to stem what
they call the 1sfree silver craze" The
latest and one Of the meaness is the en-
forced resignation of Mr. VIM P. St.
John, President Of the Mercantile Ma
tional Bank. of New York, the sole
reason being his advocacy of the free
coinage Of silver aud his iotentian to go
se Chicago as an advocate of free coin
age. This is 10 new departure for Mr..
St John. he has been an open ard a
powerful champion of free coinage for
several years, and some Of the ablest
productions published in this country
on this subject have been from his pep.
He has been strong defender of it DOT
only in the press and in public meetings
but in the meetings Of the bankers,
when he stood solitary aud alone and
boldly maintained his position and cbal-
lenged refuta,ion of his arguments.
AS the directors of his bank were famll
lar with his views all this time why this
sudden change in tactics at this late
day? Mr.. St. Johns work was prac-
tically done and he was about to see the
fruition Of iti adoption of free silver
platform at Chicago. 1t was 100 late
80 s.stem tbe craze" and the only reas-
on apparent why they forced his resign.
alton was 20 punish him. for having
views in opposition to theirs aud for
resolving upon being present at the
convention which is to put those views
into form as part Of the platform on
which the Democatic party will stand.
1t has been said that ''the gods make
mad those whom they would destroy"
Verify it looks that way, for if the
money combine sought way to COM
bine the people against it could not
End more effective one than these
bulldozing tactics which are reeorted to.
Every announcement of this kind is
worth many thousands of votes to the
free silver cause.-Wilmington Star.

brilliant aids to her beauty.
Like personal loveliness, they

they score new victories at ev-

p,mcuities OF Carnation Culture.

Luck is not reliable factor in the
difficult problem Of carnation culture.
1t demands exhaustive knowledge OF
the habits, requirements and diseases
Of the plant, unceasing watchfulness,
and unremitting labor the year through.
Even when all is done that seems pos
sible to merit success, the grower is
liable to the evaporation of finding
that particular varieties, upon which he
may have based his most sanguine ex-
pectations, obstinately refuse to -four
ish under his care. Almost every carns-
ton culturist knows varieties that he
"simply cannot raise" and neither he
nor anybody else can tell the reason
why. OF course there must be some
thing lacking in soil, water, air or
treatment which they require. but II
seems as if they were capable of taking
offense at him or his surroundings and
preferred death, or at least unproduc-
tive life, to endurance of the associa-
tion. -Scribner's

KiIkeuuv Cats.

"To fight like Kilkenny cats" recalls
the hiring of Hessians to suppress the
great instruction in Ireland. These
German soldiers had brutal sport, con-
sisting of catching a couple Of cats, ty-
ing their tails together, throwing them
across clothesline aud allowing them
to tear one another to pieces. A Hussar
regiment was stationed in Kilkenny, and
the sport, becoming known to the OFF,
GERS, was forbidden. One day the sol
diers were surreptitiously indulging in
it in their barracks, when the step OF
the officer of the day was heard, and
Hussar hastily drawing his sword,
slashed at the cats, cutting off their tails
and releasing them. The mutilated
creatures hastily vanished through the
nearest window, and when the officer
entered and demanded an explanation OF
the severed tails it was suavely explain,
ed TO him that two cats had been fight
ing and had eaten each other up. all but
the tails.

The ball game yesterday between the
Houghton club and members lot the old
Hancock nine, assisted by two players
picked up on the grounds at the last mo-
ment, was an easy victory for the former
by score OF ID to 7. The old timers
were disappointed in not being able to
play three Calumet men whom they had
at first reckoned on. Sullivan and Rem
tenbach was the battery for the vets and
Healey and Haas for the Houghtons
The field was wet, which made fielding
difficult and the ditch around the middle
Of the outfield did not help the men out
there to any great extent. About 2OC
people saw the game.

Gibraltar (o&out /, 900 miles &oa

being the great watch tower from which
the movements Of warships can be OBJ
served and telegraphed as they pass into
and out Of the Mediterranean sea.
Moreover, situated as it is near the flank
Of our trade routes both TO the Cape and
to the West Indies and South America,
it is the point at which vessels would
naturally call for news, orders, coal
and protection during the continuance
Of war. When you consider that in
every second Of time 90 tons OF ship
ping 90 out OF come into our home
ports, and that, as a matter OF fact, the
stream is continuous and never ceases,
and that the value Of the sea borne trade
Of the British empire is calculated ~
$3.50, 900, 900, Of which about f260,
900, 900 neither comes to nor goes from
the United Kingdom, it seems difficult
70 exaggerate the value of the fortress
of Gibraltar or to realize the congestion
of British shipping which might seeh
its protection in war. 1t has at present
no drydock. Its garrison consists Of
seven companies of artillery, four com
panies of engineers and three battalion
Of infantry. 1t is the meeting place O

Anthony Hope.

Anthony Hope may be seen entering
a gloomy house in Buckingham street,
Strand, every morning at 10 o'clock.
Here all his writing is done. He
changes his coat for smoking jacket,
lights a pipe and settles down with a
laudable desire to work. If the spirit
does not move him to write, however,
he chances through his letters, reads the
papers or takes up the latest novel till
he is able to concentrate his thoughts
on the work he intends to do. He writes
moderately quickly, especially when in
cident and dialogue flow freely. When
he is sketching a character or describ-
ing scenery, his pen moves slower.
About the latter, however, he does not
trouble himself much. A rocky noun
tain, with forest, valleys and river, is
generally sufficient. He lunches at his
club or has a meal sent to him from q
neighboring restaurant, afterward TAX
ing an easy time, usually spending an
hour or two on his sofa smoking and
thinking. During the afternoon he gets
in another spell Of work before saunter'
ing home along the Strand. -Londor

Worm. That Live In the Eye.

This is rot so improbable as it may
seem, but only people who live i'll tropi-
cal countries suffer in this way The
worm in question is a mere thread-one
of the filaria-and looks like very lit
tie piece of vermicelli. but when ex'
amined under a microscope it is seen TO
have a round head and pointed tail
It has been found Il the eyes OF Eu-
ropeans who have lived on the Kongo
and in similar countries. The eye be-
comes more or less inflamed and swollen
until the worm is either extracted or
miQrates of its own accord.
This migration is one of the peculiari-
ties of the "'loa," as it is sometimes
called. It goes from one eye to the 9th
er, passing under the skin at the back
of the nose. 1t will be seen in one eye
for day or two. then it will disappear,
but few days later reappear in the 9th
er eye.
1t does not always remain upon the
surface, in the conjuctiva tits usual
abode), but occasionally makes tour OF
the whole of the organ OF vision. -
