Trash Sent to InsIInnn.

A worker in the Indian mission field 'rises in her wrath" to remonstrate in The Indians Friend against the trash that some people regard as suitable contributions for the Indians. She writes:
 q have just fired some hats and bon nets which should have been burned at the stake before entering the mission ary field. They could never have head ed off anybody alright and would have been stumbling blocks to many. If the apostle Paul had sent them, he never would have recommended such covers for the heads of women in his congre- gation.

From Male to Female.

In paper read before the New York breeders convention by Valancey E Fuller he said: -"It Is Q law which seems to run through the animal as well as the human race that the fe- male transmits her characteristics to the male and the male to the fe male. The COW is governed by this law and therefore does not transmit to a heifer calf those qualities which have made her so desirable as a pro- ducer of milk and butter, but to the bull calf, and the sire is governed by the law that the male transmits such qualities to his female offspring. While there may be exceptions to the law, yet 1t Is the experience of breeders that they are usually disappointed in the heifer calves they raise from their best cows. The knowledge that great pro- ducing power Is transmitted generally by the sire to the heifers should cause breeders to use only a sire from the best COW in a herd and not to expect the good COW to reproduce her good qualities in her heifer calves"

An Ancient Coronation Relic.

Probably the only existing relic of the old regalia which will be used at the coronation of Edward VII. is the amounting spoon, It is of pure gold, with four pearls in the broadest part of the handle; the bowl is finely chased and of very curious antique workman ship. Into this spoon the consecrated oil is poured from the ampulla, which IS in the form of an eagle with extend ed wings upon pedestal of pure gold finely chased. The head screws off at the middle of the neck for the conven- fence of putting in the oil, which is poured out through the beak. This golden vessel is capable '1f containing six ounces of oil. Its height is nine inches, its breadth from the points of the wings seven inches and the weight about nine ounces.-London Chronicle.

When Grover Cleveland became president, Cockrell and Vest remembered their old law and political partners in a most handsome manner.

 Vests Gubernatoriai Namesake.
 It is very rare that one man still ac- tive in public life sees another man who was named for him governor of n great state. Yet that Is precisely what Senator Vest has done, the recent gov ernor of Missouri, Hon. Lon Vest Ste phens being his namesake. Thereby hangs a tale-which furnishes another illustration of Vests gratitude. When he migrated to Missouri. he located at Boonville. Colonel ]. l.. Stephens, fla ther of Governor Stephens, the leading lawyer and fnancier of the town, took the brilliant young Kentuckian into partnership on liberal terms. Soon aft. CT a son was born to Colonel Stephens, and he christened him Lon Vest out of admiration for his youthful partner. Time went on. Vest was in the sen ate; Grover Cleveland was In the White House; a great national bank broke in St Louis; the senator had his name sake, Lon Vest Stephens, appointed re- ceiver out of friendship and gratitude to his father. Lon Vest discharged his duties as receiver with such ability that when a vacancy occurred in the office of state treasurer Of Missouri Governor Francis appointed him to serve during the unexpired term. Then he was elected for a full term of four years. He made such an excellent treasurer that in 1896 he was noml- mated for governor by exclamation snd triumphantly elected.

The Minnesota dairy and food com missioner has entered upon a most worthy work !n the way of prevent ing those crelmery proprietors who make a pracvtee of underreading the milk test. One case is that of the sec retary of the Delavan creamery, who has been arrested and fined for in- structing his butter maker to short cut the test of EsilS and cream that came to the creamery. The St. Paul Globe in commentistg on the fact very truth fully says:
 Where thaRe are several creameries within easy distance of a farmer he will naturally go to the creamery that will pay hin tine most for his cream. If one of the creameries underreads the tests of butter fat, 1t can offer a larger price than Is offered by the creameries where the test is properly recorded. In this way the creamery gets a greater patronage than the other creameries by fraudulent means. It creates an unfair competition, and not only do the other creameries suffer, but
  because be is not actually getting the same return As he would get from the other creameries were his own cream correctly tested.
 The AA1us-Jersey Crosn-
 Cows of the Erica, Jennet and Co., Quet families nle considered good milk CTS by those who handle them and are undoubtedly better for dairy purposes than the general run of scrub cattle found throughout the country, says R. D. Rosa of Goodland, Kan. AS fair milking, high class beef cattle no breed probably 1ufpanses them.
 Some fat calves from Jersey COWS and an Angus bull topped the fat calf market In ChGCRgo one day last Novem- Der. This la, Ut least, one of the few times if not the only time half Jerseys have competed with beef bred calves and topped the market. According to test, no bull can produce more valua- ble calves and calves more salable at an early age tAan an Angus.
 Know What You Ire Doing. The COW Is of paramount conse- quence in the business of making mar ket milk. The dairymab should deter mine the character or quality of milk he proposes to proGuce and sell and the minimum quantity 'sf milk of this kind which he will demand from every COW he owns durinu the 365 days in every year which he Is obliged to feed and care for her.
 The Cow the Year Round. The COW should have good care twelve months ir the year. She should give milk ten months and rest two months. During the latter time she should have little or no concentrated food and the lasE forty-eight hours be fore calving have laxative food.

 Caught 'Em comIn' and Coin.
 Nowhere did the civil war rage with more ineffable bitterness and more un- governable fury than in Missouri. At its close things were in chaos. Four prominent participants in that titanic struggle acted with consummate wis dom-Francis Marion Cockrell, George Graham Vest, John F. Phillips and Thomas T. Crittenden. Cockrell was a major general and Vest colonel in the Confederate army, while Phillips and Crittenden were Umon colonels. All four are Democrats. As soon as ''the smoke of battle cleared away" Colonel Vest and Colonel Phillips opened up law office at Sedalia, in Pettis county, and General Cockrell and Colonel Crittenden opened up an other law office at Warrensburg, in the adjoining county of Johnson. Par enthetically 1t may be stated that Pet tis and Johnson are two of the richest counties in that marvellous common wealth. So they paired off, a Confed- crate and a Union soldier in each firm. They set their traps, like the nigger's coon trap, to catch 'em a-gwine and a-comin."
 Law and Politics.
 They were four tiptop lawyers and raked in lots of shekels. Whether they originally intended that law should be their serious and principal business, with politics as "a side line" or vice versa, do not know. Whatever they intended, they succeeded we'll at law and amazingly we'll in politics. For third of century they have been the big four of south central Missouri and Vest and Cockrell the big two of the entire state. In court they had the cream of the business and were usual ly pitted against each other. In poli- tics they have had the cream and while sometimes pitted against each other have most commonly acted together, at least in late years. Phillips and Critten- den ran against each other for con gress and defeated each other for the nomination turn and turn about, but both got to congress. Vest and Cock rell ran against each other for the gubernatorial nomination, and when Vest found that he could not secure the plum for himself he threw his strength to Charles H. Hardin, who de
 feated Cockrell by one-sixth of one vote, the closest shave on record. Nel- ther Cockrell nor Vest became govern or. but both reached the senate. Vest

Mr.. Williams (Miss.) made the closing
speech in behalf of the policy favored by
the minority. He went very exhaustive
ly into the entire subject replying to the
arguments advanced by the other side
in support of the administration policy.
The Filipino people, he charged, were
willing to learn and were willing to die
for their liberties-two tests which he
believed, entitled them to self-govern-
ment. No American, he said, was
ashamed of what had been done in Cuba.
No American but approved of the inaug-
uration of the Cuban republic Why, he
asked, would it not be wise to do for
the Filipinos what we had done for
the Cubans.

right to sell the independence and ma

The head was lying on the rail. A bottle

In the Soft Coal Fields.
(By the Associated Press.)


Roanoke, Va, June 23.-Three car
loads of striking miners arrived here to-
day from the coal fields. They stated
that there are about 1,500 strikers on the
march and that a great many were
leaving the fields. The reason many
who were in sympathy with the strikers
had remained so long was in order to
get their pay.
A special from North Fork, w. Va,
says:
Most of the strike leaders are still
advising peaceable methods, but the
strikers freely assert that if persuasion
will not accomplish their purpose of
closing the mines they will resort to a
more strenuous method, as they propose
to stop at nothing to win the strike. A
fresh egress of miners from the field be-
gan Saturday night and many have left
since that time"
A special from Pocahontas, Va, to the
Roanoke Times says:
"The strike situation is much i'm
proved here today. The Browning mines,
which have been closed down since the
strike, resumed work this morning with
about twot thirds of the regular force.
The mines of the Pocahontas Coal Com
pany have an increased force over any
day last week and men returned to work
today who have not worked since the
strike began. The agitators are numer-
Gus and very active.
