Subjective Cigars.

When q mau smokes q cheap cigar
instead Of an expensive or moderate
priced one It is not always because he
may have his pocketbook to consider"
said New York physician as he re-
cited the following instance in proof:
IAN old friend of mine. former col
lege professor, who resides In the city,
smokes the vilest cigars made. He Is
the best tempered old fellow you ever
saw, and splendid company-if 1t
weren't for lii; cigars. He swears the
brand he smokes are as good as Ha-
vanas. Once he said to me. My friend,
believe me, the cigar Is what we call
subjective, and not objective. That IL
to say, 1t Is what we think 1t Is. and
not what 1t seems to other people to
be. So, you see. my. cigars, that cost
me only 81 hundred, are as good as
you would call the best and pay maybe
$40 hundred for
ut Is q great advantage. no doubt,
to mau when he looks on all things
like philosopher. I told my professor
friend that his cigars might BIZ sub
jective. for all l knew, but that they
were fearful, and I should like 1t II he
would smoke cigar that was more
objective. But he only smiled. The
old fellow Is so chock full Of philoso-
ply that he simply cannot see any
thing as other people see it."-New

Loneliness of q Great City.
Fremont (O.) Post,


If you live in large city you are lost.
people around you. You go down into
the deep and that's the last of you, ex-
cept perhaps an occasional bubble that
may come to the surface near where you
were last seen. There are 80 many peo-
pie you can't escape drowning. You
can't make friendships as you do in q
smaller place, where the individual
isn't entirely e4faced by the mass. So
ciety is not what it is in the smaller
place, where the human element enters
in altogether. In the larger place your
comings and goings are not noted by
your friends even, and never by the news
papers unless you are one of the high
dnanciers or packing house bunch. The
births and weddings In your family are
no more interest outside your own fiat
than are the wreaths Of smoke curling
up into the empyrean; no merry crowd
of interested neighbors with their warm
congratulations. The deaths bring lit
tie sympathy from the rumbling, rafting
world outside; no Borrowing acquaint-
ances who have stood by you through the
long sickness; there Is little or none of
that evidence of loving kindness that
comes from neighbors and real friends in
small city or town, where the dollar
mark is not written so large and so in
delibly on everything. 1t is paradox
cal law that where there are so many
people there are fewer friends, and when
you diminish the number to q frontier
community where neighbors are miles
apart your friends are ready to take
their lives In their hands for YOU.

THE CARE OF LIVESTOCK.

IL the testimony of great numbers OF
the readers of The New-York Tribune
Farmer is fair basis for the formation
of correct opinion, then what is known
as it's Veterinary Department is every
where esteemed highly. 1t is, however,
more than veterinary department Dr..
G. ID. Smead, who has had charge of 1t
for more than five years, every week an
swerS very many questions in regard to
every variety of livestock known on the
American farm, not alone prescribing
medicine and treatment, but telling how
the diseases might have been prevented,
and laying down specific rules for feed
and care in health, in sickness and in
convalescence. Every farmer keeps
some livestock-good veterinarians are
scarce.
Each inquirer is fully answered, but
DR.. Smead goes far beyond this; he be-
lieves that any information which one
intelligent farmer needs is also needed
by hundreds and thousands Of others,
and he often so broadens his Answer as
to make il complete essay on the sub
ject discussed. A year or two ago MT.
b. Walker McKeen, of Fryeburg, Me-,
said in a meeting of farmers that a valu-
able horse had been attacked with dis
! ease of which he had known nothing
until he had recently read of it in The

iSmead had taught him enabled him to
save his horse. Another farmer arose
and said he had had a similar experience.

Regulations by Luck.

"Nobody gifted with a sense of humor

manner in which luck makes and I'M
makes regulations for business ability
says an exchange. "a score of years
ago gentleman named Jennings was an
extensive owner of down town real estate
In Chicago. He was the first, l believe,
to develop on large scale the modern
system of the 90 year lease-whereby the
owner insures himself and his heirs for q
century an absolutely fixed rental, free
and clear Of all charges. After Mr.. Jen-
nings had leased lot of his lands for
80 years, depression came on. Other
peoples incomes were curtailed; but his
was stable. What foresight said the
town. What sagaclty! What superb
business judgmentr Mr.. Jennings' views
on the business situation and outlook
were eagerly sought. The depression
passed; realty prices advanced immense
ly; the Jennings lots could have been
leased at twice the rental named In the
old indentures. The town shook its
head alphabetically over poor Mr.. Jsn-
nings' deplorable short-sightedness."

Animal Rights.
(Bro0klyn Eagle.)

Although we have sundry drivers who
are more brutal, by far, than the horses
they drive, and although the thoughtless
hoodlum will throw stone at cat or
dog on the general principle that what
ever can not defend itself is fair game
wherein he assumes exactly the attitude
of sportsmen who use guns instead of
bricks-and although certain fashionable
follies, like the docking of horses tails
and cropping of dogs ears occasion suf-
fering, there is tendency among think
ing people the world over to use their
four-footed and winged brothers with
mercy.
One reason for the increase of toler-
ance toward the humber forms of life is
the discovery that We prosper through
it. We are more dependent on it than
we used to think. The fish purify our
waters; the insects fertilize our plants
and trees, and so increase our crops;
the birds and toads keep down the in
furious insects; the weasels and other
mischievous fellows destroy field mice.
Aud farmers are also discovering that
live stock thrives better under good
feeding and kind treatment than under
neglect and severity, so that considera
ton for animals has commercial value.
The plowman who bawls and swears
at his horses, jerking the reins and whip
ping them, makes them nervous and
lessons their value as associate laborers
in the field-a fact his employer is COM
ing to know. The poultryman who al
lows his hen houses to be overrun with
vermin and who provides neither enough
food nor the right kind, fails to get as
many eggs as his neighbor who keeps his
fowls clean and sheltered and fed.
Still better than the money value of
kindness, which would be regarded as
the basest OF considerations in our treat
ment of human beings, is the recogni-
ton of an inherent right of the animal to
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
save as it menaces or serves us. For
this recognition marks us better worthy
of life ourselves. A civilization that
commences cruelty especially to the help
less, is incomplete.
