BALF0UR BEATEN
LIBERALS WIN GREAT VICTORY IN
BRITISH ELECTION.
KEEN POLITICAL CONTEST
Conservatives Lose Eighteen Seats
6afour Defeated in Manchester
Oistrict-Decisive Victory for Free
Trade.


London.-The political map of Eng
land underwent a striking change as
the result of parliamentary elections
held Saturday in thirty-nine constit
uencies in widely-scattered but import
ant centers, in which the Liberals
gained eighteen seats. The Laborites
who are counted among the Liberal
gains, secured four new seats against
Unionist candidates.
In the eastern division of Manches-
ter, Arthur ]. Balfour, the former pre-
mier, was defeated by T. G.. Horridge,
Liberal. Mr.. Horridge secured the re-
markable majority of 1880. This vic
tory was a decidedly sensational out
come of the days polling, and will, It is
believed, enormously effect the cleo
tions, which will continue for a fort
night.
Winston Churchill, Liberal and Free
Trader, won the seat for the north
west division of Manchester from W.
Johnson-Hicks, Conservative, by a ma
iority of 1,241.
Everywhere the Liberal majorities
were increased, and the ne. result OF
the first days contest between the
ingly in favor of the present govern
ment.
Although only siXty-six seats are now
filled out of the go required for the
new Parliament which will meet at
Westminster February 18th, the COM
position of the house, as shown BY the
results declared up to midnight is as
follows Liberals, SO; Unionists Il.
Laborites. G Nationalists, Z. This in
cmdcs twenty-four candidate who
were unopposed and the two candi
dates elected at Ipswich Friday.
Political clubs received the returns
by special wires, and everywhere the
defeat OF Mr.. Balfour was received as
a most complete surprise. Then as
Liberal gain was added to Liberal gain
until the remarkable total of twenty
two seats. counting the Laborites, out
of thirty-nine constituencies was
reached, 1t was agreed that the Liberal
majority in the next Parliament
would show the Overwhelming decis-
ion Of the country.
Dispatches received from Manches-
ter say that the excitement there was
indescribable. Great crowds swarmed
the streets cheering and demonstrate
ing with the utmost enthusiasm
Mr.. Balfour tonight addressed a
gathering X the Conservative Club
He acknowledged the gravity of the
disaster but predicted short life for the
Liberal government. He urged the
Unionlsts to continue to work for the
party and the future reversal of SAT-
urday's results.
OF course, Mr.. Balfour will fad an
other safe seat before the elections are
over, by one of the Unionist condidates
retiring in his favor. Up to the pres
| ent. however, there is no indication
where the former premier will ind this
place where he can secure a majority
which will enable him to take his seat
as leader on the front opposition
bench.

There are few simple points that
all dairymen should remember:
A dairy cow needs comfortable shell
ter in bad weather, plenty Of clean,
nourishing food and kind treatment
every day in the year. If she is ham
died roughly she will retaliate by caus-
ing the owner a direct financial loss.
Her great, distended udder will not
permit of abuse or long Journeys at a
rapid gait. She must have tender
treatment When the milk Is being
drawn and wnen she is being driven
to and from the pasture.
A dairy cow is taxed to the utmost
in loading milk with every element
necessary for human food, and excite
ment disturbs and often retards the
process Of the perfect elaboration of
the milk During Illumination and when
secreting the milk the COW demands
unusual quiet and comfort.
Easy going management and tender
and almost affectionate treatment from
youth to age are most conducive to the
development Of that domestic nature
Of the cow which is SO much in har.
mony with country life.
While the kindly hearted dairyman
admires the marked features of docil.
ity, gentleness and beauty in every in
dividual COW and his heart rejoices in
| the fact that she is tenderly treated,
it is necessary that he study the prop
critics Of the grains and grasses with
which the animal is fed.
He should mix the food with careful
hands, and if it seem necessary he
should sell other dairy food in order
that he may purchase such feeding
stuff as to form a we'll balanced ration.
{ This sometimes insures the largest re.
turns for the least money expended.
The crops should always be harvest
ed at the time when they will do the
cows most good and then fed with q
! liberal hand.
| The capable dairyman avoids the
; ruinous effects Of cows hooking each
other by removing the bud Of the horn
from the calf. This practice has saved
the life Of many valuable COW and
still more valuable man and has solved
the question Of economy Of stable
building and protection of the weak
| from the strong-Cor. Farm Progress

sTEvENsoN's THEORY.

!. TantaAizinE Tale of the Novelist and
y n Detective.
Scotland Yard would no doubt scorn
to take story writer into it's councils
as an American detective consulted r.
l.. stevenson. Arthur tombstone in his
stevenson In the Pacific tells the
striking tale, leaving you. however,
tantallztd with the desire to know
what the case was and what were the
respective solutions Of the professional
and the amateur detectives, SAYS r.
P.,s London Weekly.
AS they sat together one evening on
the veranda Of an inn at Waikiki the
detective contided to Stevenson a case
of extreme difficulty he had in hand
and also his theory Of it's solution AS
stevenson hardly seemed to attend, for
pc sat looking dreamily at the sea, the
= detective left him to have a chat with
the more responsive landlord.
On his return to the -Seranda. how
ever, Stevenson suddenly reused him
self to say: Il think have solved that
riddle of yours. You see, it's just like
writing story. If you go at it right,
it will work out right Now, your theo-
~ does lot do at all because it will
never work out. Let me give you my
theory of the case, and then tell me
what you think of it.
The detective did not at first think
anything of Stevenson's theory of the
case. 1t was daring even for a theory
aud dangerous to work if it did not
happen to come off. But on thinking it
? well over, with Stevenson's shining
eyes fixed intently on his face, the pro-
fessional began to believe there was
something in it,
When Stevenson at last asked trium-
phantly, "Well?' he replied, well, sir,
shall try your theory, but if it doesn't
win you and / will lose between us the
thousand dollar fee I am to be paid for

Laxity in public worship has long
been n theme for preachers. In 1743
one of them wrote Of the congregation
of st. james, Piccadilly, London, that
'.they seem to be more taken up with
viewing and contemplating each others
dress and equipage than in paying
their devotions to the Divine Being

see this set of people bowling to their
neighbors, with Il Glory be to the Fa-

THE CHAMELEON.
Some of the Peculiarities of Thi.
Very Queer Animal.

Some OF the PecuI1ar1t19s OF THIS
Very Queer Animal.
A most remarkable creature is the
chameleon. To all appearances the
nervous centers in one lateral half Of
this animal work independently of
those in the other, and it has two later
al centers Of rception-sensation and
motion-besides the common one in
which must reside the faculty of con-
centration. The eyes move independ-
emily of one another and convey sepa-
rate Impressions to their respective
centers of perception. The consequence
Is that when the animal is agitated it's
movements resemble those of two ami
mails or rather perhaps two halves Of
animals glued together Each half
wishes to go its own way, and there is
no concordance Of action,
Therefore the chameleon is the only
to swim 1t becomes so frightened
when dropped into water that all facul-
ty of concentration is lost and the crea-
ture tumbles about as il in a state Of
intoxication When a chameleon is I'M
disturbed every impulse to motion is
referred to the proper tribunal, and the
whole organism acts in accordance
with its DEGREES. The eye, for example,
that receives the strongest impression
propagates it to the common center,
which then prevails upon the other eye
to follow that impression and direct
its gaze toward the same object.
Moreover, the chameleon may be fast
asleep on one side and wide awake on
the other. Cautiously approached at
night with a candle so as not to awak-
en- the whole animal at once, the eye
turned toward the light will open, be-
gin TO move and the corresponding side
to change color. The other side will re-
main for il longer or shorter time in a
torpid motionless and unchanged state
with its eye fast shut.-Chicago News.

ORIGIN OF THE WALTZ.
This Dance Was First Performed ~
Religious Ceremony.

This Dance Was First Performed ~
= Religious Ceremony.
OF all the millions who waltz, who
can tell how this famous dance orig
mated? The story is a curious one 1t
is wrongly supposed that France re-
ceived the waltz from Germany toward
the close Of the eighteenth century.
The waltz did not emanate in it's pres
ent form from the brain of dancing
master. Long before 1880 the time it
Is first mentioned under this name, it
was displayed on the village green's.
The waltz was first danced in the
church and serves to trace the union
between ancient civilization and that
Of the middle ages.
The sacred dance of the pagans Is
preserved to certain extent in Chris
tan rites. It is transformed to series
Of revolutions made to the sound of the
tambourine. st. Isadore, archbishop
Of Seville, born about A. D. $50, was
intrusted by the council of Toledo With
the revision of the liturgy as it was
then practiced in the Roman church, in
which there was a tambourine dance.
The council decided to adopt the Isa-
dorian liturgy in all Spain, and it diff
fered but little from that used in other
countries at that time.
This rite, celebrated before the eighth
century, when the Moors first invaded
Spain, was still celebrated by the Chris
tians in the seven churches of Toledo,
which the Moors abandoned after their
capture of the city, and it was after
that time called the Moorish rite This
was known and employed in Provence
and Italy. The tambourine in use in this
religious dance was called by st. Isa-
dore ''moite de symphonic and evil
IDENTIFY corresponded to the instrument
/ which in the ancient sacred dances &C.
| :ompanied the flute, a sort of bagpipe
| Invented two centuries before Christ.
! AS the religious dance Of the middle
! ages is allied to the ancient sacred
| dance so the waltz is an evolution of
this religious dance, having passed
through many changes before arriving
in it's present form. In the eleventh
century, when the Gregorian rite sup
! planted the Moorish rite, the dance dis.
/ appeared from the church. It appeared
gerry quickly in society under the name
of s'carole,'' {; word derived from the
Latin ''caroler."

RACING WITH OXEN.
~ AN Odd Sport Popular lii Rural Dis
trictN IN Germany.

In many of the out Of the way dis
tr1cts of Germany OK racing has long
been very popular sport The en-
trance fee for the races is small, but
the beasts must be ridden by their own
ers The rider is not allowed to have
either whip or spur, and he must ride
his animal bareback, trusting to his
voice to guide the beast. It is here
that the skill Of the rider comes into
play, rs everything depends upon the
training Of the OK and the ability of the
owner to direct his movements. AS the
oxen do not race on track it is no
easy matter to guide them. The race
course is a field perhaps mile square,
the start being made at one side and
the finish at the other. Speed is Of sec
ondary Importance in the race. Like
golf, the sport requires accuracy, and
the rider who can force his numbering
charger to go in a straight line is GER
tain to win.
When all the competitors are lined up
at the starting point the signal to begin
the race is given Then the fun COM
mences, for in spite of the riders eff
forts the steeds usually refuse to head
toward the finish mark. Besides, the
difficulties are greatly increased from
the fact that the onlOokers are allowed
to be in the field and may do anything

long as they do not touch him or the
beast Though oxen are naturally the

is ridden under the wire. The victol
