An American herd book classification
has been granted to the Dexters, which
are declared by prominent live stock
breeders in this country to possess a
number of particularly valuable points
The cattle, il is stated, will thrive and
yield large quantities of fine milk on
pastures where other cattle would starye
to death. Furthermore, it is said the
Dexters possess extremely hardy consti-
tutions and the utmost vigor, and are
absolutely immune to bovine tuberculosis
This trait. it is believed, has been at
tained by the conditions under which the
breed mas peen developed in its native
mountains.
Owned orig -nally by the poor peasants
of County Kerry, the Dexters ran prac-
ticaly al will over the hills. shelterless
at all seasons of the year. and compelled
to forage for all the food they ate. This
strenuous outdoor life weeded out all
Weddings; only the very strongest sur
vived. and these transmitted their vigor
to their offspring in increasing measure.

Il FRS. CLARENCE MOORE of this
M city is the owner Of herd of
49, what are believed to be the small
est cattle in the world. The accompany
ing photograph of one of Mrs. Moore's
diminutive cows gives an idea OF the
small size Of the breed. the COW pictured
in the photograph being full-grown
specimen, and the man in the picture be-
ing under five feet eleven inches tall.
These tiny cattle are known as Dexters.
They come from Ireland and there are
only five herds in the United States. Mrs.
Moore owns ten of the little mixers;
Cecil B. Gregg Of st. Louis has a herd
OF five; ]. B. Haggin. owner OF Eimen-
dorf farm, near Lexington, KY. owns the
largest herd either in this country or Ire
land, 175 in all; Howard Gould has fifty
at his farm at Port Washington. n. y.
and Senator Murray Crane has five on his
Massachusetts farm.
pathetic interest attaches to the herd
owned by Mrs. Moore. The animals were
bought by her late husband on the occa-
sion of his last visit to Europe part OF
his business being to close the deal for
the animals. The purchase was conclud-
ed only a day or SO before Mr.. Moore
sailed on the 1ll-fated Titanic. in the sink
ing OF which Mr.. Moore lost his life. The
Dexter cattle he had bought, as, perhaps.
his last business transaction in the world.
were shipped some time after the sinking
of the Titanic, and have by this time be-
come thoroughly accustomed to their new
environment. They are quartered at the
Moore farm, near Kensington, Nd.

Blarney Castle. Another diminutive
breed of cattle comes from the same gen.
eral locality, these being the Kerry cat
tie, of which there are numerous repre-
sentatives in this country. The Dexter
cattle, however, are entirely distinct from
the Kerry COWS, the latter resembling
miniature specimens of Jerseys or Ayr
shires in form. while the Dexter is more
like vest-pocket edition of a shorthorn.
The Dexters moreover, are much smaller
than the Kerry cattle, of which Mrs.
Moore also owns small herd.
Some measurements of the Dexters will

show the small size of the full grown ami
male Basaco, a celebrated show buli
which won many ribbons and cups IN
England before being sold to Howard
Gould, stands thirty-four inches high at
the shouIder-two inches less than
yard-and measures thirty-eight inches
from the top of the shoulder to the end
of the tail. His girth behind the shoul-
ders is 30 inches, and his weight is ABOUT
400 pounds.
But the small size of the Dexter COWS
does not interfere with a tremendous pro-
duction of milk. The COW shown in the

There are some features regarding the
invention which Mr. Grove still keeps Sc
cret. One of these is his method of
adapting wireless telephony to mis- pur-
poses. Another is the device by which
his receiver will pick up only the current
generated by the transmitter, remaining
entirely unresponsive 10 all other elec-
trical impulses.
In the course of his work with this in
yention Mr. Grove has come across many
instances of unusual connections with the
city mains. The existence of these con-
nectons in many cases was unsuspected.
They could not have been discovered by
the old method of digging experimental
trenches without vast trouble and ex-
pense. One of his earliest successes was
achieved with couple of houses on Mas

pipes. If the water connections were in

in many sections of the capital, it is
more than likely that the householder

and then begins an expensive and not at

the work of which oftentimes may cost
much less than the preliminary trenching
required to get at the pipes themselves
Now all that has been changed, at least
far as the District is concerned T.. II
Grove. an official OF the water registers
office, has invented little wireless tele-
phone apparatus by means OF which lost
pipes may be located and traced through
out their whole course without turning

been used to locate more than 800 water
connections. Il is saving money for the
District at the rate of 5000 year. every
penny of which IS clear net gain To the
taxpayer. as Mr.. Grove has given his in
Sention TO the city without cost.

And this happened right here in

Of suffragets, Of 1872
Can you believe it, Can you realize
that there is such a mOSS-grOWn man
still living, with such hOary, anuquat-
ed notions as this prospective bride
groom? To be sure, he is an old bach
elor. bat even old bachelors are seldom

days
our heartiest congratulations to the
young woman who escaped getting this
sort of husband Her guardian angel
surely was working overtime in her
behalf to snatch her. even at the 18th
hour, from a life of misery. and she
should be burnink josshcks to the
great god Luck for her escape.
Marriage. even with a liberal minded
man. is not perpetual picnic, and
what it would be with a grinding
tyrant who would take the word obey
in the marriage service in a literal in
stead of a Pickwickian sense, one
trembIes to think Certainly the worm
of the dust would have nothing on
such a wife when it came to being
Ought to Be Help
As a matter of fact. the difficulty
about the obeying business in matri-
monv should never occur, for there
should be a revision of the marriage
service that would substitute help"
for il. Certainly there is no justifiable
reason for making a woman perJure
herself at the altar by swearing to obey
her husband when she knows she hasn't
the slightest intention of doing it, and
so does everybody else, the husband in
cluded.
Nor does the husband If he is the
right sort of a man, desire his wife to
obey him. He recognizes her rights
as an Individual; he respects her per
sonal liberty Of thought and action
wife a child who is TO be dictated to
at every turn. nor a fool who must
have every act directed by a superior
intelligence
The modern idea Of marriage is
equality of both parties, not the sub
serviance of the woman to the man.
We are done with slavery, even Of the
domestic brand. and men don't wish
their wives TO kneeI It their feet but TO
sit beside them.
IF a woman should promise, when
she takes the marriage VOW, to help
her husband it would mean something,
