HerOns Most Affec.Ionate Birds.

OF all the birds he had studied, said
w. Farren in a lecture at the Royal
Photographic society's exhibition,
(London, England.) none showed con-
jugal affection in quite the same way
as the brown backed herons of Anda-
lusia in Spain. Whenever the hus-
band relieved his wife at the nest he
invariably laid his neck over hers in
a momentary embrace and then took
up his position while the other bird
flew away. The herons never omitted
this affectionate salutation.

The Most Pitiful Figure in Our
Political History

From the heights of his majes-
tic intellect the Hon. Hiram John
son, Rienzi of the Golden Gate,
looks down on Mr.. Taft, political
ly the most pitiful figure in our
political history"
What makes Mr.. Taft the most
pitiful political figure?
Is it to have passed the Jeffer-
sonian examination? Is to have been
honest. able, faithful to the con-
stitution?
Is. to have continued and carried
out within the forms of law what
ever was sane and desirable in the
policies of Theodore Roosevelt?
Is it to have reduced, so far as
the recommendations of the execu-
tive could reduce. the spendthrift
reckless extravaganza of congress?
Is it to have given the United
States an administration competent.
Is it to have achieved through
the courts those prosecutions of
violators of the Sherman act that
Mr. Taft's predecessor effected
mainly with his everlasting lungs.
kindly hand always reaching be-
hind his back for friendly cOntribu-
tions and supporters?
Is 1t to have made the White
house place of dignity and dis
tinotion, and not an exhibit of the
Midway Plaisance and annex OF
Bedlam?
Is 1t to have been a constitution
al and limited ruler. not a Byzan-
tine autocrat?
Is it to have been faithful. loyal,
modest: an intellect and not a
voice. quietly pursuing amid the
meanest treachery of old friends
and associates the path of hon
or?
Is 1t to have been straightfor-
ward among the crooked?
Is 1t to have been patient under
such absolutely causeless calumny
as has not been uttered against a
president since the days OF Aurora?
II strikes some of us, 1t may
strike many OF US. that the sense
of justice and fair play is not yet
dead among Americans. The Hiram
Johnsons and the other shrieking
dervishes of the Mahdi of Oyster
Bay possess the air. But there is
such a thing as OVERRIDING 1t. 1t is

these are the three leading beef
breeds, there are others, such as Red
Poll and Devon. BY some writer's the
Red Poll and Devon are classed as
dual purpose; but for the present we
will consider them beef breeds.
OF the three breeds mentioned first,
we can scarcely say one is better than
the other, for they belong on the same
plane. 1t is matter of choice or
preference with each man for himself,
which he likes best. and then that be-
comes the best for him. Every one
Of us will give our best attention and
efforts to the things we like best
Therefore the breed of cattle we like
best will give US best results and be-
comes best for us.
The two remaining breeds are good
and in some sections are very popular,
but for strictly beef purposes are
rather small and have tendency
toward the dairy formation.
When we go into the business Of
producing beef we want the breed Of
cattle that will produce that product
at the least cost and in the greatest
quantities. Then it behooves us to
select one Of the best breeds. say
one of the best breeds, and / mean
one. Do not make the mistake that so
many have done and think that you
can produce better steers by breeding
together two breeds than pure-bred
steers of either one. Just remember
whenever you breed together two dis
tinct breeds you are producing grades
of both breeds and going down hill.
Again, when you breed together two
distinct breeds you are much more
apt TO confina the poor qualities of
both breeds in the offspring. AS an
example, and one that is commonly
practiced, if You breed Holstein COW,
which produces a large quantity of
milk but poor in butter fat, to a Jer-
sey bull, a breed which produces a
small quantity of milk and rich in but
ter fat, you are very likely and most
apt to produce heifer that will pro-
duce a small amount of milk, the char
acter inherited from/the sire, and that
little poor in butter fat, the character
from the dunn. The reverse is your
desire, but you may be disappointed.
Knowing these things, and also be-
ing able to- buy the pure-breds of any
breed we rnany fancy, let us act
wisely in THE matter and purchase our
foundation stock Of pure breeding.

RATHER STUPID PARIS FANCY
Zebra Rip Could Only Attract the
Gaze Because of the Extreme
UgIiness.

Very odd, indeed, are some of the
new tailor-mades, writes Paris cor
respondent. In fact, few of them ir-
resistibly suggest that the wearer, de-
spairing of finding any new ways OF
being beautiful, is as last resource
falling back on ways of being ugly.
How otherwise could one account
for a coat like an Early Victorian dress
ing jacket, than which nothing more
shapeless has yet been discovered in
the history of costume, made of stone
colored cloth, and suddenly bursting
into an orgy of black and stone-colored
zebra stripings, just on level with
the cuffs, which are of the same ar
rangement?
The skirt, up to the bottom edge Of
the coat, has also the horizontal strip
ings, so that the general effect is Of
biege jacket standing up in black

IMMENSE LOSS
TO PEACH CROP
Cheap and Simple Remedy for
BLACK Spot" Found by
u. S. Department of
Agriculture.

The loss from the peach brown rot
will average many thousands OF dol
lars yearly. Much work has been
done with view to discovering sat-
isfactory remedy for this trouble.
Spraying with diluted Bordeaux mix
ture has been most commonly recon-
mended, but its injury to the foliage
has made 1t unsatisfactory, since the
remedy must be applied during the
growing season.
The peach scab (often called BLACK
spot'') Is another disease which SER
iously affects the peach crop in all
sections east of the Rocky mountains,
although not causing such serious
losses as brown rot
AS a. result of experimental work
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture, a cheap and simple rem
edy for this disease has been found in
the self-boiled lime-sulphur wash. This
can be applied during the growing
season with very little danger Of in
turing the fruit or foliage and 1t is
very effective. Furthermore by mix
ing arsenate of lead with the fungi
side, the curculio can be destroyed at
the same time.
The department issued a bulletin
describing the preparation and use Of
the remedy. This publication will be
of great interest to peach growers in
all sections.

New Stocking Device.

Women who are afflicted with per-
petual Jacobs ladders in the tops Of
their stockings should adopt an anna
teur device that is successful in pre-
venting such mishaps. Instead of u.s.
ing the steel hooks at the ends of the
side and front elastics substitute quar-
ter-inch satin ribbons. Fold piece in
the middle, sew 1t there to the elastic
itself, leaving the two short ends free.
On each stocking put two or three
loops of silk braid to match in color
and through these tie the ribbons.
Fold piece in the middle, sew it
there to the elastic itself, leaving the
two short ends free.
On each stocking put two or three
loops of silk braid to match in color

There will be no madeira work, as
some one terms these tiny holes in the
stockings made by the hooks, and the
effect of the pink or blue satin ribbon
bow is attractive.

WHITE PIMPLES ON HEAD

Ransom, Ill.-"The trouble started

went to his ear, shoulders, and his
whole body. 1t seemed to come out
thick and sticky on his head, while
on the other parts of his body 1t was
more like water coming out Of the
skin. He would scratch until the erup-
tion would be all covered with blood
and gradually spread. The least little
stir or rub would cause the sores to
bleed, spread and itch. Never had
full nights sleep, restless all night.
"The sores were horrid to look at,
1t lasted until he was about two and
half years old. Then we saw an &c
zema advertisement in the paper to
use -, but it did no good. Then
we, used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment. We put the Cuticura Oint-

MAN
OverbOard''
By John Philip Orth

Copyright 1872 by Associated Literary
PresS)
Mr.. Glenn Hosmer, the young law
yer, who had just hung out his shin
gle In town on the Hudson river,
had not yet parted from romance. He
had been warned by veteran of the
bar that romance and law never
mixed He would get married some
day, but there must be no emotions
about 1t that could not be substan-
tiated by the compiled laws of the
state of New York. The formality
must be about the same as starting
lawsuit against the owner of a COW
that had destroyed the garden of
neighbor.
Mr.. Hosmer accepted the advice
and was prepared to act or it when
he made journey 10 the city one
day and sat in a chair car within
few feet of Miss Blanche Ackworth,
who resided in the next town above
him. He said to himself that her age
was about twenty; that her hair was
old gold; that her eyes were lovely,
her nose the true Ggccian, and that
her mouth was beyond comparison.
Ee felt great stirring of the heart
as he cast chances at the young lady.
He felt the law in him being replaced
by romance. There YVES not enough
In any law book in tire land to ex-
press his admiration He didn't know
her name nor abiding place, but those
were things to be found out.
Miss Blanche let fall the magazine
she was reading. Mr.. TIosmer sprang
to pick 1t up. A squat man, with a
thick neck, was just too quick for
him. Mr. Hosmer fell back in his
chair and vowed that Il he ever got
that squat man in the tolls of the law
he would squeeze tho iife out of him.
Miss Blanche dropped her handker-
chief, and Mr.. HosmeY sprang again.
A bald-headed man wis before him.
That settled baldhead IN case he ever
had lawsuit. Miss Blanche looked
about for some one to tell her where

Mr.. Hosmer had opened his mouth to
answer, the porter came along and
gave full information. Five minutes
