Heecher's First Church.

From the Chicago Chronicle 1t has
been determined that the church in
which Henry Ward Beecher began his
ministry shall be torn down to make
room for buildings of up-to-date de-
sign. When Mr.. Beecher became the
pastor the church was the finest in
Indiana. His salary was $500, but at
the same time the governor received
only $1,000, which included pay for his
private secretary. Beecher is remem-
bered by members of his first congre-
CATION for his wit, popularity and So
liability, and as q lecturer to young
men.
Some persons were inclined TO be-
lieve that Mr.. Beecher was little too
exuberant and fond of fun" said a
member OF the church. IL remember
that 1t was said that at lawn party
he took OFF his coat and rolled down
hill. Once, in coming from Terre
Haute in a stage at night, he found an
elder of his church in the stage. He
disguised his voice and inquired what
people thought of Beecher's church
and about Beecher. All this was done
for pure fun"
Mr. Beecher was twenty-six years
Old when he came here, and he remain
ed for eight years. In 1S47 he left to
go TO Brooklyn.

a Beautiful Sapphire.

There is at present in the keeping of
Mr. Hayward a Ceylon sapphire belong
ing TO Maj. Gen. Robley which is not
less remarkable for its size than for its
transIucenCy and the brilliance OF the
optical effects it can show. The weight
of the gem is 63S carats and it is of a
dark milky blue color. perfectly trans
parent and fawless. Larger sapphires
have been known, but they have usual
~, il not always, been dull and muddy
instead Of having the clear, translucent
color of this specimen. But in addition
it possesses property occasionally
found in slightly cloudy or milky Cey-
Ion sapphires- sometimes in other
gems, too-which greatly enhances its
value in the eyes of believers in the
occult powers OF precious stones to con
fer health and good fortune on their
wearers. 1t is star sapphire or as
terra. That is. being cut en- cabochon,
it displays beautiful opalescent star,
dividing its six rays at the apex. which
changes it's position according to the
movements of the source of light by
which it is viewed. BY employing two
or three sources of light two or three
OF these stars can be simultaneously
seen in the gem. BY further cutting it
is said that the beauty of this stone
could be still more increased, but. of
course. at the expense of its size.-Lon-
don Times.

A Shortage OF Cattle.

One popularity Of the past winters
cattle trade has been the disposition OF
feeders to sell their stock as soon as
ket, says National Stockman. Compar-
atively few have kept cattle in the feed
lot until they were fully finished. This
was entirely unexpected in view of the
abundance OF feed and the difficulty
of marketing 1t in any other way. Ii
has, however, prevented any accumu-
lation of cattle to food the market dur
ing the latter part OF the season, AZ
was the case last year. There is no
over-supply Of cattle in sight. Feed
lots are not as full as they were a year
ago, either east or west. Distilleries
hold comparatively few. many of these
establishments having been shut down.
There is. too, a shortage of butcher stuff
on farms, which Is pushing local
slaughterers into market for cattle, or
to the Use of dressed beef. Cows and
heifers are unusually scarce at market
points, affording an outlet for more
butcher steers. On the whole there
does not seem to be anything to inter-
fere with good market for heavy
steers during the remainder of what
may be called their season. and for
handy and medium weights thereafter.
II the advancing tendency in other live
stock is continued it would not be sur
prising to see cattle selling higher
within the next sixty days. There is
nothing in sight to justify any boom.
but an advance Of so cts. per 100 lbs.
Is considered within the bounds of pos
sibility by good many cattle men.
Time alone will tell whether their fore
rosts are correct.

Starting "A Flock.

This Is the season of the year when
many are thinking of either starting
q laying flock of hens or reinvigorating
an old flock by the introduction Of new
blood, says a writer in Southern Plant
er. 1t Is good time to do this, as the
spring-hatched chickens are Of suffi-
cient size and so fully feathered as to
show clearly what kind Of hens they
are likely to make, and breeders are
now anxious to sell before cold wealth
err and the heavier requirements Of
winter feeding comes upon them. If
you have no hens, or only a few "old
scrubs" which you have decided to kill
off, then the question naturally first
arises, what breed should be bought ?
II the object is eggs and eggs alone,
then you cannot go wrong in buying
Leghorns, either white or brown. With
these you will never be troubled with
sitting hens, but you must make up
your mind to fence your garden not
merely with four-foot fence, but with
one at least six feet high, il you in
tend to keep the hens out of it, or you
must have your hen house so far away
from the garden that they will sell
dom come near 1t. They are the most
,ctive breed Of fowls. and are ever
N the alert. AS consequence of this.

body could not withstand the strain.
Presently, when her sobs had calm
ed a little, she turned up the lights
and crossing to the writing table, wrote
this letter:

inflammatory diseases.
1t is cruel and senseless not to do
all that is in our power to make them
comfortable. Put each COW in a box
stall by herself as calying time APP
proaches. Avoid all noise and excite
ment, and insist that the same person
cares for her every day.
\ few days before calving each COW
should be given 4 moderate dose oil
EPSON salts. molasses and ginger. Al
ter the calf is dropped she should have
another dose.
1t is wonderfully beneficial in every
case and should never be omitted.
Never neglect the warm bran mash
Immediately after the calf is dropped,
and never fail to take the chill of the
water for at least ten days.
If the weather is at all cold put a
blanket On the calf, little flannel
blanket is just the thing. Sew strings
to tie around the neck and under the
belly. AS the calf grows the blanket
can be let out to fit. Our calves have
often worn these little blankets, and
grow so that they little more than
covered their backs-and on. how
pretty and sleek they looked.
We do not think it best for cali or
cow to leave the calf by the mother
more than ten days at the longest.
II the udder is inclined to be infiam-
ed, battle with hot water and rub
thoroughly dry. reduce the food and
nature will help.
The man who cannot be especially
gentle and tender with his cows at
this time, should not be dairyman or
stock breeder, and will never succeed.
He should Immediately so into other
business.
If the fodder begins to get low, don't
scrimp the cattle. better buy some
clover hay and some grain.
Better sell something and invest the
proceeds in feed than let stock run
down and get thin, for that will be a
dead loss.

IL the range Is large, they will pro-
vide themselves during the great part
OF the year with very much OF the
food they require, and seldom become
too fat to lay. Their close plumage
and compact form also conduces to
hardness, and they seldom suffer from
cold. Their weak point is their small
size II wanted for the table. AS egg
producers. however. they are probably
unequailed, and their eggs, tho gh not
so large as those of some Of the other
breeds. are yet large enough to sell
readily on the market for full price.
II the object be eggs and broilers, then
we would say buy Plymouth Rocks,
Brahmas or Wyandottes. These breeds
are all large, heavy ones. They are OF
contented, restful disposition, and re-
Qulre only a very low fence to confine
them. They are good layers and good
sitters, but their sitting propensities
somewhat interfere with the quantity
OF eggs they will produce, but this, OF
course, is compensated for IL chick
ems are wanted by the fact that with
any OF these breeds you may have
chickens almost at any time OF the
year, for we have known them to sit
in the fall Of the same year they were
Matched, and to have chickens running
with them at Christmas. Whilst har-
dy, they are not so little affected by
cold as Leghorns, rs their quiet dispo-
sition leads them to neglect that exer-
else which wards off the effects OF cold.
They should have warm quarters in
winter, and they will then lay when
most other breeds are resting.
II you have already a flock Of good
hens. then all you need Is the intro
duction Of new male blood. In max
ing a selection Of rooster, never buy
anything but a pure-bred bird OF what
ever breed you fancy. In this way, If
you do not buy of the same breed as
the hens, you will, nevertheless, get
good blood, and not breed scrubs, but
merely cross bred birds. Many Of these
cross-bred fowls are amongst the best
layers that can be kept A cross be-
tween the Plymouth Rocks and Leg
horns makes excellent layers and table
fowls. The cross should be made by
running n Leghorn rooster with the
Plymouth Rock hen. A cross Of
games and Leghorns is q good one.
They are good layers, the hens will
sit, and the chickens make good broil-
| ers. The rooster should be 4 large
