The British Frog March.

A Montreal paper recommends Ameri-
can army officers who have u1ru|y SOL
diers on their hands to study the frog
march" as practiced in the British army.
If a British soldier won't move when he
can move and should move, he is not
dragged by a rope or proddcd with a
sword, but he is turned on his face, four
comrades seize each an arm and leg.
IND with Il corporal and a stick to re-
duce unnecessary convolutionS on the
part of the burden. he is quickly taken
to a place from which he is usually glad
to move before his movement is in order.
and he is not physically hurt
Whether the place to which the re-
f%ractory soldier is taken is Il horse pond
or Il pump. we are not advised. but. OBJ
serves the Minneapolis Tribune. we must
commend such a mode of enforcing dis
cipline as superior to that practiccd by
Capt. Lowering at Fort Sheridan. The
British method would tend to make the
soldier ridiculous in the eyes of his COM
radcs. and would not invest him with
the halo of martyrdom. The people of
the United States would not object to
any punishment to a disobedient soldier
that is not unusual, cruel and inhuman.

ImDeIuOus Youth.

If youth and experience could only go
together what an all-conquering con-
junction they would make! 1t is one of
the saddest contradictions of this mistt
world that the power to discriminate
and to appreciate is apt to come too
late. 1t is Il curious trait in human ma
ture that, although in science, and, for
that matter, all other impersonal mat
tiers connected with our lives. we are
willing to accept the knowledge that has
been acquired before our time and draw
our deductions from premises that others
have evolved, in everything that concerns
ourselves. and IS therefore to us the
most important, we refuse to be guided
or to take warning from the experiences
OF Others. 1t is one of the many trials of
a fond parent that their children cannot,
or rather will not see with their eyes or
think, as they know they ought to think,
aud to see them rush blindly into trouble
that might SO easily have been avoided
If youth would only listen and consult
with age. Every mother p~rophesies to
unwilling ears what she knows to be
true, but what she cannot get her young
people to believe. until through expert.

An Electric Car Incident.

A melancholy story of a motorman and
his luncheon is told in the Washington
Post:
The car was nearly ready to start, at
the beginning of the route, when a
woman got on and took her place on the
front seat along with with the driver. a
'"stern, married looking man." who had a
basket beside him. and was somewhat
hurriedly eating his luncheon.
The woman began asking questions,
and the man, as she left him opportunity,
continued to snatch now and then a bite.
BY and by at the ring of the bell he let
on the power and the car started. while
he held in one hand a great slab of
cherry pie"
A few blocks down the street an imp
ish child danced across the track sudden
ly so near the car that the gripman put
on the brakes, and the woman with the
inquiring mind rose to her feet in alarm.
The danger passed, she sat down again
heavily. The stern-faced gripman had
ceased to eat his pie.
You don't have much time for meals,
do you?' asked the woman with the in
quiring mind.
"No'm,' replied the gripman, sadly.
"Wherc's your pie?' went on the
woman with the inquiring mind.
The gripman looked at her %wistfully.
you're sitting on it," he said.
AND she was.

COtrOnseed Oil.

The manufacture of cottonseed oil,
though a Southern industry of scarcely
more than ten years. growth, is expanding
into large proportions: The output in
from the large number of new plants put
in operation this year. the product of
1897 will be considerably larger. The
profits in this line of manufacture are UNI
doubtedly large, remarks the Philadelphia
Record. The earnings Of Il couple of

considered as a rule sufficient to return

that a business which pays so we'll is per-

FOR THE FARMER
Corn and Coin Manl-

@-+ ~~N ~ ~
Corn meal is a very heavy feed, and un-
less cut hay or straw is given with it the
meal is apt to cake in the stomach. Not
even the animals with strongest digestion
are able to digest whole corn meal, esDc-
'cially. given uncooked, as it usually is.
Cooking swells the meal, and if cooked
dry it is filled with air spaces, which keep
the meal from massing together in the
stomach. When corn is ground on the
cob, the cob being lighter, also prevents
the m%assing. There is also some nutri-
ment in the cob and it's superior digesti-
bility makes it better for feeding to ami
mails that chew the cud. and are thus en-
nbled to eat more and less digestible food.
Thus corn and cob meal mixed with cut
feed is better for fattening cattle than is
whole corn meal. But horses cannot get
enough nutriment in their feed if the cob
is used. Corn and oats ground together
are better. Hogs, also, should have corn
and oats. Sheep are ruminant animals,
but they have such strong digestion that
they do better with grain not ground,
adding some wheat or whole oats to make
the feed lighter, and also TO supply some
other than the carbonaceous nutrition in
which corn meal abounds.-American

The Ba bies Saved HIS Place.

Postmaster Page Of Redwater. Tex,
has reason to bless his babies. He will
be retained in Office because of the birth
of bankruptcies and twins in his family.
Eleven years ago he was appointed post
master, but when Gen. Clarkson be-
came assistant postmaster-general in the
Wanamaker administration an effort
was made to replace him with a Repub-
lican. Page appealed for retention, citing
that his wife had just presented him
with bouncing bankruptcies, and that
twice before twins had been born to
them: This settled the case, Gen. Clark
son deciding not to remove the incum-
bent. The case has now come up again
and a number of candidates have sought
the place. But Page has again protest
ed that the successful raising of three of
the bankruptcies and two sets of twins
entltls.ahim to some consideration. He
sent photographs of the three surviving
bankruptcies, now almost young ladies.
Assistant Postmaster General Bristow
conferred with Postmaster-G Genera Gary,
and the two decided that there should be
no change in that Office. q

How Prize Cattl. Are Fed.

At the recent Fat Stock Show Polled
Angus ~predominated, as three lots were
of that breed. They were 2-year-olds, ex-
cept one bunch of nineteen months Angus
owned by G. H.. Gardner, charlottesville,
Ill. They might be termed typical baby
beef, as they We're ripe for the block at
1900 pounds. This lot was fed before
they were weaned in November, 1896.
The oat feeding continued till March,
when upon the last 200 bushels of oats in
the feeder was placed 1000 bushels of
shelled corn. In a few hours Il little
corn worked down with the oats, and in
this way they gradually got more and
more corn till pure corn was taken at
pleasure, on which grain they have been
fed in conjunction With pasture ever since.
Charles Esher & Son, Botna, Ia, had a
car lot of 2 and 3-year-old Angus. Until
July they ate from a feeder in the pas
ture mixed corn and oats; then soaked
corn was fed. OF this they each ate
about half a bushel daily. They were
finished on new cracked corn, oats and OIL
cake. This firm Won first on car lot of
eight yearling steers. The first award
went to ]. X. Kerrick. Bloomington. Ill.,,
On an Angus group. and second to Harry
Shirding, Petersburg, Ill.,, for high-grade
ShOrthorns, ? years old, which averaged
1900 pounds each. The first lot sold on
the market at 6 cents per pound and
the latter at $500, while the ycarlings
brought $5.4O per cwt. The Hereford
pen shown by Stanton Breeding Farm
company averaged 1900 pounds. and had
been fed on crushed corn and oats and

What DR.. RauWOlf Did.

Coffee is said to have been introduced
into Europe by DR.. A. Rauwolf, a Ger
man physician, about the middle Of the
sixteenth century. He got it from Ara
bia, after it had passed into that coun-
try from .Abyssinia. 1t is a pity, for
coffee is one of those seductive stimu-
lants which do harm under the disguise
of seeming to do temporary good. 1t is
n nerve poison on the same principle
that alcohol is, and opium. Hence the
public are to be congratulated on the
prospect of thenew food drink, Grain-O,
taking it's place. The latter is prepared
from pure grains. is nourishing. sustain
ing and healthful, and never affects the
nerves. Those who have tried Grain-O
say nothing a induce them to resume
the use Of coffee. Good for children as
for adults. Cost, o%ne-fourth that Of
coffee. Packages 15c. and 25c. Ask

SUBMARINE BOAT TESTED.
Invention of q Baltimore Man Passes
Successful Trial.

SuCCosSAUA AT1hJs
The submarine boat Argonaut. designed
by Edward Lake, and which, in the Opin-
ion of the inventor, will enable the OK
plOratiOn of lake and ocean bottoms in
search Of sunken treasure. had a public
test in Spring gardens ut Baltimore. The
craft fulfilled every promise made by Mr..
Lake.
The boat, which is pointed at both ends,
has a coming tower, runs on wheels and
is moved by the propeller driven by Il
gasoline engine or electricity, as the stu
alton may demand, first steamed in vari-
Gus directions on the surface. 1t was
then run awash with only the coming
tower out of the water. Then it went to
the bottom and again rose to the surface.
Again the tanks were filled and the boat
sank until it rested upon the mud of the
river.
A door in the hull was opened and a
diver clad in the ordinary diving dress
stepped through the aperture. He walked
a short distance with the searchlight full
| upon him. rose to the surface, went down
and re-entered.
All this time the door had remained
open and not a drop of water had come
in, the pressure of the atmosphere having
kept it out. The BOAT stayed under wa
ter long enough to permit the guests to
partake of a luncheon prepared aboard
and then returned to the wharf from
whence the start had been made.
No marked vibration was noticed, eX'
cept when the craft moved over hard
ground. 1t it claimed that the boat car
remain at a depth of over 100 feet for {
day and in water less than 100 feet three
days, the crew in the meantime perform:
