Old Time Drunkenness.

In reviewing 'The Early Married
Life of Maria Josepha, Lady Stanley"
the London Spectator comments on the
light in which drunkenness was re-
garded at the beginning Of the nine
teenth century. There was christen-
ing of twins and rejoicing among the
neighbors, tenants and laborers. "All
the guests" says Maria, were as
drunk as / ever had the pleasure of
seeing any one" Among the laborers,
however, that extent of intoxication
was not reached which causes men to
be swine"
Lady Sheffield, who received this ac-
count of the festivities. replies: 81
would have given great deal to be
present. There is nothing love so
much as such sort of festivities, where
one has the satisfaction of knowing
that one makes ones friends happy as
well as drunk" In London, she de-
clares, "when you give ball you af-
front many people, please few. make
many drunk and yourself miserable"

plated Tin Spoons.

Here is one way of making spoons,
the process described being used in
the manufacture of one variety Of tin
plated spoons.
In its original form the material
from which these spoons are made
comes In long thin strips Of steel rolled
to uniform thickness. The strips are
twelve or fifteen feet In length and
of width sufficient for the length of
the spoon to be made. These strips
are fed into a cutting machine, which
cuts of pieces. each of sufficient size
for making spoon, these being SIM
ply so many small, fat pieces Of sheet
steel
Then these blanks are put through a
grader, a machine with powerful rolls,
which so works the metal as to make
1t thinner in those parts Of the blank
that are to form the bowl and the
handle Of the spoon and thicker In the
middle Of the length of the blank
from which the shank Of the spoon
win be made, so that 1t win be the bet
ter able to bear the bending strain that
will be put upon the spoon In use.
From the grader the blank goes into
drop press, which cuts 1t into the
outline form Of spoon, though from
this press it comes out still flat
Then In another press the bowl of
the spoon Is formed, and then in still
another the handle. and so at last
you have the spoon In its complete
spoon shape In steel. ready now to be
plated by dipping 1t in molten tin

Queer FEEDING.

"Come and watch me feed my star
fish,"
The curator Of the aquarium led the
reporter to tank where half dozen
starfish tripped over the sandy bottom
on slim brown fingers.
Scrub time, boys" he said, and he
dropped into the tank six mussels.
The fish ran to the mussels. Each APP
piled his stomach to the hinge at the
back of the shell. Silence and immo-
bility ensued.
''The gastric juice of the starfish,"
said the curator, 'is now melting the
hinges of flesh that hold the mussel
shells together. All, look, there's one
melted now. There's another. It's the
most powerful gastric juice in the
world"
One by one, their hinges destroyed,
the mussel shells opened, and into the
openings the starfish thrust their stom-
achs. More silence, more immobility.
Then, a little plumper at the heart,
the starfish went tripping daintily off,
but the mussel shells lay open and
empty on the sand.-Cincinnati En-

Heredity of Normal Characters.

hoDcis Dohc"Oii, iH imPiO''h6
the longhorn breed of cattle
and the Leicester breed of sheep,
kept in mind the law that like gets
like; characters prominent in breed
ing animals will be transmitted to
the offspring. These characteristics
may be external or internal for an
animal is the result of all its pro-
genitors. A cross between two dis
tinct breeds, as for example, Hols-
tein and Jersey, may or may not
resemble in appearance either breed
and may or may not be endowed
with the tendency to give a large
quantity of milk. 1t requires we'll
trained eye to detect variations in
form and knowledge Of the science
OF breeding TO determine what kind
OF an animal should be used to
increase the desired character OF a
breed. A matured animal, as rule.
will impress his qualities on his
offspring better than the immature
one. Animals have been improved
in habits for particular functions.
For example one breed OF sheep
will yield 10 pounds of wool and
another only 8 pounds. Herefords,
as a breed, have been improved in a
point OF constitution for many years
with the result that the Hereford Of
today is better developed on this
point than any other breed. Famil-
les OF breeds have certain character
istics developed, take, for instance,
the Young Mary" Of the Short
horns.
Dispositions in individuals is a
hereditary character, color blindness
is a hereditary character, the walk
is hereditary character; heredity
can we'll be considered the breeders
cornerstone.
Any abnormal regularity of an
animal organization constituting a
disease, whether of structure or fun
ction, is liable to be transmitted from
parent to offspring For example,, a
blind stallion is used apa nearly all
colts will be blind. The hereditary
disease may make its appearance at
the time OF birth, when it is said to
be congeital or considerable length
OF time may elapse before any indi-
cations OF it's presence are observed
In the latter case pre-disposition to
the disease is said to be inherited,
which requires some external treat
ment for its full development. In
the treating Of hereditary diseases Of
cattle, Finley Dun states that a
tendency 10 consumption and dysen-
try is often indicated by well marked
signs. In March, 1882, Dr. Koch
made public his discovery that the
cause OF tuberculosis was micro
scopic, rod like parasite which could
be transmitted from one animal to
another and domesticated animals
more liable to this disease than wild
animals 1.-The stable COW, the penned
sheep and the closely confined hog
are subject to this disease because
the sanitary surroundings in many
cases are favorable for the growth Of
the germ. Statistics show that
tuberculosis ia our live stock is on
the increase and also found mostly
10 cattle although inspectors in Chi
cago are finding more tuberculosis
in hogs now than ever before. The
