Paris Clear of the Rocks.

London, July 12.-The American line
steamer Paris is now clear of the rocks.
The salvage crews have moved her
astern for distance of $50 yards, and
have shifted the vessels position slight
ly to the eastward. The intention Of
the salvagers was simply to slew the
stern of the liner, so as to facilitate the
operations of the divers, but it was
found that she moved more freely than
was expected. Three salvage boats
practically unaided removed her from
her critical position.

CarefulIy-Bred Animals.

The superiority of the English,
Scotch and French horses is due to
their being raised almost as part of
the family. Behind their docility, size
and adaptability to special work, the
pillow, the saddle or the buggy, is long
lire of kindly care, patient training
and careful breeding. That marvellous
capacity for producing milk, possessed
by the Holstein COW, and the superlative
richness of the milk of the Jersey, are
the results of judicious feeding, han
ding and breeding, and of wise selec-
ton for many years in sections where
a few cows are kept by each family as
valued treasure. The same is true of
all the better breeds of horses and other
domestic animals.-Prof. S. A. Knapp.
