upon the necessary outlay only. Many

money at interest, or to wrong their
other children, in order to give the ia

any form. The young man himself

TooTHAcHE IN DUMB ANnfALs.-It
must be dreadful when poor dumb ami

has read how poor Chunce, the eleph-

of madness in dogs, and really think
it very probable. The poor brutes

Too MANY Cows.-A writer In the
Maine Farmer recommends that farm
ers should not keep too many cows,
and cites a well attested instance ID
which two COWS, by having the same
amount Of food given them as had been
previously given to four, had yielded
considerably more butter, cheese, etc,
than had been before obtained from
double the number; that is, that the
two upon extra feed had produced more
than four. We can believe this state
ment, and believe with the writer, also,
that farmers should not keep more
COWS, or stock of any kind. than they
can keep well, both as 10 food and shell
ter. 1t should be as much Of the bust
ness of the farmer to grow fun supply
of winter provender for his stock as it
is to furnish them with summer pasture;
and yet how many there are who never
dream of such a thing as setting field
of clover or any of the artificial grasses,
relying altogether upon the precarious
resources of their corn-ields to carry
their stock through the winter and ear
" spring months. Nor do many of
them pay proper attention to saving
the proYender from those quarters.

ROYALTY AND POVERTY IN ENGLAND.
The people of England are becoming
exasperated with the demands of the
royal family in the way of dover mo-
ney for its numerous offspring.


A large meeting of the Liberal Leage
was held in London on Friday, for the
purpose of protesting against the dovry
of national money to Princess Louise.
Bitter speeches were made contrasting
the pauperism of the country, there be-
ing 137, 900 paupers in London alone
and many dying Of starvation every
hour, to the wealth of the Queen, who
draws 100000 a year besides other
large sums, for the royal family. She
does nothing in return. The least she
might do is 10 initiate the example Of
the poorest workman and provide for
her own children An appeal is made
to the entire people, Ignorant and edu-
Gated, to decide by ballot whether or
not they should supersede the present
cumbersome and inhuman system of the
government by the establishment of a
Republic. The speakers were Messrs.
Hoyellemann and Currins.
