Cattle prices are maintained in all the
markets. There is no appearance of a
slump anywhere. The demand for mark
etable cattle continues and cattle growers
who were fearful that the market stagna-
tfon which pi evailed previous to the
election would be maintained, are now
convinced that the Iull in trade WAS only
incidental to the Presidential canvass
Ordinary conditions only control the
market, and the great factor is the scar
city and price of corn; but there will be
no diminution in the consumption of beef, :,
and while the ''army is i'll the ifeld,' and
the export demand continues there is no
reason 10 fear a decline III the prices of
cattle.

Slang is the most decided form of ex-
preston. What meaning is conveyed in the
inelegant but expressive terms of slang
language. ''Don't grunt" is the latest
meaning to Christian science Don't
grunt.' might be applied to any SCIENCE
upon which depends the minds control
This habit of grunting is responsible for
much of the ills of the human flesh. The
rich vocabulary of slang is recommended
TO the public schools. While the language
is not "scholarly'' its meaning is not hid
den and comes within the comprehension
of the unintelligent. But 'tdon't grunt''
implies all there is in the capacity of the.
mind to control the material body. Don't
grunt,' and you will have no need of
CHRISTIAN science or doctors. The gruuts
aggravate the disease.

The Missouri cattle feeder who found
himself with a full hand and corn high
and scarce will hold his feeders over an
other year. He will winter feed with
ordinary fodder or hay. and with the
hope that next year the corn crop and
prices will Justify his feeding for mar
ket. The margin between stock cattle
and feeders is too small for the feeder to
fatten his cattle for market. The conse

feed will make the prices of fat cattle

BULLETIN FROM MAINE AGRICULTURAL
EXPERIMENT STATION.

The refuse products from milling
wheat and rye, when unmixed with
other substances are exempt from the
requirements Of the feeding stuff. Law,
hence the station has not collected and
anslyzed samples Of this class Of mill
feeds. From Information derived from
various sources and from the analysis OF
the few samples sent TO rs by CORE
spondents, we believe that very many
carloads of seriously adulterated by.
products of wheat have been sold In
Maine during the past elk months.
These goods for the most part claim to
be winter wheat bran, winter wheat mix
ed feed, etc. Such goods should carry
about l6 per cent protein; the samples
examined carry from go per cent to II
per cent. The adulterants are the refuse
from broom corn factories, corn cobs,
and similar materials.
The jobbers handling these goods must
know that they are not pure goods. How
far these goods have been sold knowing
~ and how far dealers have been Inn
posed upon, there Is no means Of know
Ing. That the consumers have been Inn
posed upon goes without saying. Deal
ers who are not handling them are de-
sirous that their sale be stopped. Some
large houses outside Of the state have
sent circulars to the leading jObbers 10
this state calling their attention to these
fraudulent feeds.
The adulterated mill feeds thus far are
from the South One milling company
10 Henderson, Kentucky, claims to have
sold over 600 tons Of adulterated mixed
feed 10 Maine this fall. These adulterat.
ed goods come under the provisions OF
the law regulating the sale Of concentrate
ed commercial feeding stuffs and the
station will endeavor to have this class
Of goods branded and guaranteed In &C
cord with their actual composition. II
10, however, better that the goods be not
sold at all and the cooperation Of feeders
and honest dealers IL asked In order Il
drive these low grade goods out Of thu
state.
Improperly drawn samples are value
less in the enforcement of the Law
Samples taken In accordance with dt
rections to be obtained on application {,
the station will be analysed promptly

he said, ''the English do not know
anything about the Bible" However,
the book, printed In Datch by the Bible
Society, Was duly presented. or course,
instead Of the Dutch arms II had the
English arms on the front page. The
old msn pointed this out. "'rhSt Il not
the Bible" he said. A little further ex-
summation showed him, however, to bis
amusement, that this WAS only mstter
OF printing, and that other wise the two
were identical. The explanation as TO
the arms led TO = reference TO the trans

One Of Lambs Pra.ks.

A pretentious poet got his verses sub
mitted to Charles Lamb by friend
just before the poet was to meet Lamt
ut dinner. Lamb found the verses e
be feeble echoes Of other poets. and
when the author arrived he was seer
to be as empty a. his verses. This
awakened Lambs spirit OF mischie
vous waggery. At dinner he said In the
course Of conversation:
THAT reminds me Of some verses
wrote when was young" and then be
quoted q line or two which he recol-
lected from the poets book. TO the lat
ter's amazement and indignation. Lamb
was diverted Immensely. but kept per-
fectly serious and quoted more lines In
connection with another remark, beg.
ging the company to remember how
young he was when he composed them.
The author again looked daggers at
him.
Lamb capped all by Introducing the
hrst lines Of Paradise Lost" COT
mans first disobedience." etc.D as also
written by himself. which brought the
poet to his feet, bursting with rage. He
said he had sat by and allowed his own
little verses" to be appropriated with
out protest. but when he saw Milton
also being pllfered from be could sit
silent no longer. Lamb reveled In tell

But why so much antsgonism to the

DEAD BOOKS OF, TINS DECADE.
"The decade which d now nearing its
end will be found, think, when looked
at retrospectively, 10 have been the
most sterile decade Of the whole century
whose close Il marks," writes Harry
Thupston Peck, 10 Ainslee's for Febru-
airy. .sIe 10 q decade 10 which somo
eminent authors have finished their Ca
reers, and IN which other eminent au-
thors have deteriorated and sunk 70 the
level Of the commonplace, bat In which
scarcely one author has arisen to do
original and splendid work imbued with
= Vitality that 10 sure 70 mako it live
throughout the years that are 70 come.
"Take fiction for example, Robert
Louis Stevenson's career laps over 90 90
70 include the hrst four years OF our de-
cade, yet In those four years he wrote
nothing that can be ranked with hls best
work; fol- one cannot consider David
Balfour to. deserve place beside Kid
Mapped Of which Il isa sequel. Mr..
Henry james ID still numbered among
our living authors, and ID still indus
triously writing; yet Of him Il also may
be said that bis most characteristic and
most enduring work was written more
than ten years ago. Since 1890, though
he still shows ~ his continued possession
Of the qualities that have made him 20
exquisite master Of social psychology,
he never reaches now the level OF The
American The Europeans' and The
Point Of View; while 10 criticism and
miscellaneous writing he has Of late
done practically nothing. Ia fiction by
Americans there Is also nothing which
both belongs TO this decade and At the
same time to the permanent records OF
literature. Mr.. Howells, like his liter
ary congener, Mr.. James, IL still pro-
ducing novels; but they are novels writ
ten rather for entertainment than for
tame, and the two books OF his which
best deserve TO live-'A Modern In
stance and The Rise OF Silas Lapham'-
belong to On earlier period Of his career. |
In order to see how thoroughly
ephemeral the fiction OF the past ten |
years has been. Il Is necessary to call to |
mind few Of the books that enjoyed At
the time Of their publication = tire
meodous vogue. There are, for example,
The Heavenly Twins Ben Hur,' The
Red Badge Of Courage, The Prisoner OF
Z.nda," 'Trilby,' Beside the Bonnie
Brier Bush,' Quo vsdls,' and more re-
Gently King Noanett' and Hugh Wynne.'
Any one of these ut the time when IL first
appeared would have been described ny
thousands of readers as genuine add
lion to the literature that will last. But
Who thinks Of any OF them In that way
now They entertained or they amused;
hey served their purpose; they have al
ready ceased to be sold; and, 70 all in-
tents and purposes, they are forgotten"
