Care of the Calf.

For o few days after the calf is
born 1t will be better that the COW
should have no grain excepting a little
bran sprinkled into a pail Of warm wa
ter. not enough to thicken it but to
make 1t more palatable. Some who
have tried 1t say fine oat meal is bet
ter than bran, and we do not doubt II,
but have not tried it. The first pail of
water after the calf is born we usually
put rye meal into instead of bran, be-
cause we were taught to do so, with
the idea that 1t helped to expel the af-
terbirth. We do not know whether It
was so or not; but We have given it
many times, aud do not think it did
any harm IL it did no good, but of that
in another place.

first, and increasing the amount grad

DRAMATIC SCENE
At o Hanging Owing to o Mistake
About q Reprleves

About q Reprleves
"The dramatic interruption OF the
Wright hanging over in Gretna," said
a New Orleans lawyer, reminds me OF
a strange and tragic episode which &C.
Cured years ago at a little river town
in Kentucky, where I first began the
practice of law. I'll tell you the facts
in a few words. A worthless white
man named Jim Early had murdered
an old farmer under very atrocious cir
cumstances, and was convicted and
sentenced to death. AS is often the
case with such men, Early had a o
excellent and devoted wife, and she
moved heaven and earth to save his
neck, but without success. She did ev-
erything humanity possible, and the DAY
before the hanging, when she finally
realized that her efforts were In vain.
she made a formal application to the
court to be allowed to have her hus-
bands remains, which would otherwise
have been turned owe to a medical
college. The next morning the judge,
In glancing over his papers. happened
to remember that he hadn't written the
official order for Eariy's body, and, do
ing SO in some haste, gave 1t to a clerk
to deliver. The clerk in turn handed
it over to an old deputy. saying, Here.
take this over to the sheriff right away.
The Judge has granted that order for
Mrs. Early The old man, who was
half-blind and deaf, totally misinter-
preted the remark, and, supposing the
paper to be a reprieve, started bare
headed on q run for the Jail. He ar
rived Just as the poor woman was bid
ding her husband good-by In front OF
his cell, and thrusting the paper into
her hand he bawled out: Stop it! Stop
everything! Here's a reprieve!' For a
moment everybody stood petrifed.
Then one OF the officers began to un-
bind the prisoner, and Mrs. Early, SOD
bling and weeping and calling out that
God had answered her prayers, dung
herself into his arms. The paper had
fallen to the floor, and the sheriff
picked 1t up mechanically. He old me
tafterward that he felt as IL he had re-
ce1ead a bullet through his heart when
he read the contents. Instead OF a re-
prieve 1t was an order for the mans
dead body! ! was present, yet / can
hardly tell what followed. ] only
know there was a scene Of terrible con-
fusion: that they dragged the woman
away by main force, and proceeded
with the execution as quickly as they
could. The terrible double shock left
him SO stunned that I doubt il he knew
what was happening when he went
through the trap."-New 0rleanns

A London, July 1; dispatch ays Up
TO the hour, $3.50 a m, no further news
has been received regarding the re-.
ported massacre at pckin. from any
source. In the house of last
evening, beyond an admission that
there was no ground for hoping that
the report was not true, William vt.
John Frederick, parliamentary secrc-
tary Of the foreign office, had nothing
to communicate.
Revenge today, mourning tomor-
row. is especially the universal cry
OF Europe but 1t is sorrowfully ad-
mitted that there can he no revengc
today; nor perhaps, for many tomor'
rows for the incredible barbaritics
hat are reported to have marked the
last scenes with the legations at Pekin
Nothing is clearer than that the anti

meating even hitherto quicscent prov
inces and though ii is recognized that
every day leaves Pekin in the power OF

fcultics OF the situation nothing comes
from the diplomats of Europe to show
that the powers have overcome the
~jealousies, resulting in general impo-
tency to which commonly ascribed
the sacrifice Of the handful of women,
children and men comprising the inter.
national colony in Peltin.
A Washington telegram says the de-
cision OF the administration Mt the end
of n most cventful day is that the
United States government is still not
at val with the government Of China.
The big happenings at Tien Tsin,
coming on the top of the stories of the
last struggles at Pekin, have not AZ
fected the attitude of the administra'
ton on this point; the United States
and China are technically rs peace,
But this statement should not be ac
cepted as indicating n purpose on the
part OF the United States government
of swift and adequate punishment
upon the Chinese, without regard tC
station, who may be responsible for
the outrages of the past few weeks. !
means simply that the government q
the United States feels hat il can bes
achieve that purpose by regarding tn,
status officially as one of peace. Il,

Work Is Progressing.

Work is progressing on the two new
buildings ON the campus of the state
university. The memorial hall is fin
ished up to the caves, and the window
frames for the great gables have just
been put in place. The addition to
the boiler house is almost ready for

fifteen feet from the ground. This
