In calling attention yesterday 10 the
garbllns OF an article by the Charleston
Gazette, rejecting on the integrity Of
Senator Elkins and ex-senator Davis.
the Inteilisencer credited to the New
York World the original article, which
the Gazette e:nasculated in order to
suppress the lame of Mr.. Davis. 1t
should have been credited to the New
York Journal. This Is not material to
the main point, which was that the Ga
zette had been guilty of a contemplate
act. All facts were just as the Intclli-
sencer stated and the reader is only
obliged 10 note that the Journal and not
the World was the originator Of the
offensive dispatch quoted. The methods
OF the New York yellow papers are SO
similar that 1t Is very easy to get their
names confused In referring to them.

The Nlasion Of Lltefaturs.

Tennyson's I'm Memoriam" is rs no.
table nm example as modern literature AZ
fords Of this first and noblcst mission OF
letters. Though entitled m elegy and
written To commemorate The virtues OF
the poets personal friend--and in this
sense appropriately restricted in It's
range-it takes up and develops the
great ideas Of God and the universe; OF
man and the soul and duty and destiny;
Of life aud death and immortality; Of
good and evil right and wrong; Of sci
encc. philosophy, ethics and religion, SO
as, in word, virtually to cover the
spacious area Of truth and to make the
reader feel that he is dealing with the
protoundcst problems of earth and
heaven. Hence "In Memoriam" is some
thing more and greater than mere
poem. 1t is kind of compendium OF
theology and philosophy. of the divini'
ties and humanitics i'll new and striking
form, furnishing food for thought to ev'
cry thinking man who reads it.
Hence To our mind the fame Of Ten
nyson and its permanence rest more
upon such a product as this than upon
any other of his works. Maud, 1.-THE
Princess" Lady Godiva," "Enoch
Arden" are choice and attractive
poems. but scarcely to be cited III the

abandoned the theatrical profession be
cause he could not lift Fanny Daven

local stock companies about 20 year,
ago, when Miss Davenport came tC
Philadelphia with one of the men OF
her company sick. She applied TO the
manager Of the theater in which the
young man referred to was employed
for some one to take the sick man 1
place, and rs the young actor was no.

services were loaned to Miss Davenport.
He was cast for the part of Caius uciu'
in "Cymbeline, and the business OF
the part required that he should take
Miss Davenport in his arms and carry
her of the stage. The lady weighed
considerably more than he did. and
when he attempted to pick her mp he
found that his strength was not equal

audience to laugh, and that spoiled d
good scene. He was so humiliated tha.

OeHORNlN6 CATTLE.
BULLETIN or THg MAINE AGRICULr
URAL EXPERIMENT STATION.

Dehorning cattle has been extensively
practieed in many parts OF the country.
/ In the dairy sections, the need and sd-
/ vxntages OF dehorning are not a. well
/ understood as on the ranges where cat
/ tie run together in large herds. The
/ subject il attracting attention just at
present In this state snd the bulletin on
! Dehorning now being distributed by the
Maine Agricultural Experiment Station
will be read with unusual interest.
The following conclusions regarding
dehorning are taken from the bulletin
Dehorning Is 10 DC recommended be-
cause dehorned cattle are more easily
cared for than those with horns, and be-
cause dehorued cattle enjoy life better.
A great deal OF suffering Is prevented
by the removal of horns.
To dehorn mature animals, clippers
should be used that sill remove the horn
perfectly 1T 4 single stroke and in a mo-
ment OF time.
when Il IL skilfully performed, ami
nals do not give evidence OF great suf-
fering ss sn effect of dehorning. The
tissues injured in dehorning are no, very
well supplied with nerves. sud they are
quickly cut through. Good evidence
that dehorning Is not very painful is the
fact that cattle will resume feeding im-
mediately after being operated on, and
the WELD OF milk in COWS Is not per-
ccptibly affected. Compared With cas-
tration OF colts and calves. dehorning
may he considered psiniess.
Those who are familiar with the opera
tion of dehorning aDd the results Of ii
are ils most enthusiastic advocates.
In the past. efforts have frequently
heen made 10 proven; the practice Of de-
horuing on the ground that IL caused
needless pain IL would seem 20 Us that
efforts can now better be expended ty
,ndeavoripg TO have the last relic OF a
horn removed from our domestic cattle,
Who ceased 70 need them when they
came under the protection OF man.
Horns NAV sometimes be ornamental,
but Il i evident that they are usually
useless, expensive aud dangerous lux
uries.

pertinent station, Orono, Maine.

BREAKFAST CEREALS.

Cereals and fruits should form the
base Of breakfast foods" writes Mrs.
s. T. Rorer on breakfast Cereals and
Fruits" in her cooking lesson in The
Ladies' Home Journal. "They will sup
port muscular action, preserve the heat
of the body aud strengthen the brain in
its nervous activity. Whole or steel cut
oats and whole wheat, from which our
nineteenth century bread should be
made, contain the essential elements for
the perfect nourishment Of the human
body. The great objection TO cereal
foods is their difficulty of digestion, not
from any fault Of the foods but, first,
from lack Of time in cooking ard, second,
from lack Of proper mastication. Raw
starches are indigestible. The first step,
then. toward the digestion Of starches
Is over the fire. Each little cell must be
ruptured, and for this long and careful
cooking is required. The second step ia
the digestion Of starches is in the
mouth. They are there converted from
the insoluble starch to soluble sugar.
II they are swallowed quickly, without
mastication, they miss this digestion,
entering the stomach as strangers. This
organ not being prepared to receive

intestines to be entirely instead Of part

to do. in addition to its own duties, the
work of the mouth, soon becomes over.

rice preparations. All these foods, how
ever, must be thoroughly cooked aid

GRANGE PROGRAMS.
THEY SHOULD PRESENT A MENTAL
MENU or SOMETHING MORE THAN FUN.

As have an opportunity to visit
many oranges, feel that the msjority
of programs incline TO somewhat light
er character than il would seem WAS the
design of the original founders Of our
organization.
IL is necessary 10 interest young peo-
pie, and by all means let US have MS many
young people 10 the grange as it is posi-
ole to get, provided they are people in-
terested in farming and have character
which does credit TO the organic ,tion
aud ability 10 be Of even the least value
10 il. But the prime object Of the grange
is 10 educate and elevate the fsrm.r.
do not say, Ito elevate rural communt
ties, though incidentally the elevation
Of the farmer elevates all living 10 his
vicinity, whether it be the blacksmith,
carpenter, cobbler, or well-digger.
The grange should broaden its work,
and should occasionally consider topics
OF interest 10 laborers and others In rural
communities, but the programs are al
most always arranged merely 10 please.
An occasional program OF this kind Is
Just the thing TO be desired, but lecturers
ought To put solid material Into their
programs.
The program of the lecturer may well
be compared 10 dinner, and should be-
gin with something light, perhaps mere
ly TO arouse interest in what Is to follow.
Then should come a substantial literary
feast consisting Of discussions on farm
topics and cdrrent events, quotations
from books and orators modern and
ancient, with such other variations rs
may seem adapted TO the individual
grange-the whole to be followed by the
dessert of wholesome, humorous or even
comic, lsughter-producing words OF
sctions.
The lecturers hour is one Of the most
important parts Of the whole makeup OF
the grange.
One who considers this part Of the
work most carefully Ia carrying out most
conscientiously the prime object Of ouI
order.-N. K. Farmer.
