Secretary Gage then examines IN detail the
seventeen alleged successful expeditions. He
points out that the partial success In one case
was due to the weakness OF the Spanish patrol OF
the Cuban coast: that in the Spanish
authorities at New-York have exonerated the
officers Of the Treasury from all responsibility.
In one case the Spanish Minister disagrees with
the legal adviser Of the Spanish Legation and
also disagrees with himself as to the date OF the
alleged successful expedition. and the Depart
ment has information warrantng II to re-
quest that any proceedings be instituted. In

the change comes, with low tempera-

they are dissatisfied to remain in the

Proper care is worthy of every far

will take days to bring back the animal

1t is best to keep fat cattle in the
barn all the time, with liberal ration
of new corn, or corn and oats ground,or
corn meal with one-third bran. IhaVe

good, but farmer should raise most of
the feed for stock.

should never be excited to get on their
feet when resting; the more they lie
down the better, and only disturb at
feeding time. They should be fed all

wasting. Some will take more than
others. A practical hand will soon as

is time when they cease to gain in
flesh, or to less degree. Then is the
time to sell.-Agriculturist.

women who have to make their daily
bread and butter and stewed prunes,
these latter being staple dainties of the
boarding house of fact and fiction, by
running a weak imitation of hotel,
will deem the writer necessarily severe.
To them we apologize for anything
that may seem like reflection on their
method of making livelihood, for of
all hard ways theirs is the hardest, and
we have only the liveliest sort of SYM
pathy for them. It is the people who
dwell with them we, condemn, the wo-
men who prefer the gossiping and gad-
ding OF this irresponsible day to day
sojourn on earth, to the more exacting,
but ,oh SO much sWeeter, routine OF
home life, no matter how humble that
home may be. "Some people cannot
afford to keep house, " says one. 'More's

tion, what a nerveless set of busybodies
one centrally discovers in the feminine
inmates Of boarding house. The

the bedchambers are put to rights; later

desul tory shopping, maps and scandal
ad libitum. How can anyone grow
mentally amid the environment of such
an atmosphere. Ailments are exagge-
rated, private grievances aired, the
quality Of the butter and the hour Mr..
Bachelor came in last night being dis
cussed with as much vigor as the Nine
teenth Century Club put into its late
canstic remarks on the subject or .'cul-
pable luxury" Is it any wonder that
women with SO little of real interest
grow selfish and vain, become engros-
sed in insignificant detail, and lose the
essence and sweetness of livingP As
for children brought up in such an at.
mcsrheIe, VT can only say that we
pity them from our heart. Fancy en-
teriDg upon the real struggle without
the memory Of a childhood home to come
as green oasis in the desert Of thought.
This me ans deprivation unspeakable.
Therefore to them we give pity, but to
the parents, who are responsible for the
act !, we can but bring condemnation in
no small measure.
