Of course it Is a matter of judgment how much reduction thera should be hers and vhere and how much the natural forces of finance and commerce will produce. Thore is cer- tainly more liquidation to come, but ex- actly how much and exactly whero 1t is ditlicult to tell. Dut it would seem that, with the rapid rate at which events have followed each other in the last year or two, a few more months will be sufficient to place us on a plane whero we can again have active business and falr profits for all, The conditlons da not justify us in antlcipating a period of depressien as long as that which followed the panic of 1873—we __t have no differecne between gold and paper to fight now, and the wealth of the people per caplta has vastly in- creased. After all, the great wonder of the situatlon is, that we could have passed through so much and shown it go little. Who would have said that we o#dld have a declioe in prices greater and more gen- eral than was ever known before—a panic that brought the leading financial operat'ons of the country to almost a full stop, and nearly 12.000 failures In a year with liabilitles $250,000,000—with very little more than the ordinary amount of pauperism and beggary in our large cities and only a small curtailment of the ex- pendltu f the wealthier classes! It is all a strklng proof f the strength of the country. And the wish of every patriotie bull must be that the process of natural selection through bankruptoy shall go on till the weak concerns are all weeded out.

The aggressive policy of the southern makers is partly reaponsible for this, But the competition has had the good effect of enforcing economles ia the manufacture and handling of this comod ity. With selling price below the cost of production, it is clear that the laxity of mansgement that is encouraged by a pro- teotive tariff in any industry will not do, The trade in textiles has improved a 1 it- The stocks appear not to be ve large, and the strength of cotton has given [ firmness to prices, The report from Augusts, Gedrgia, of demand for cotton goods beyond the capaclty of the mills a startling plece of news to people accustomed to nothing but depressing advices, but it seemy to be literally true, Operations,in | | the woods thus far jastify thepredictions {madein the fall that the logs would be small this winter. That is a branch of in dustry which there has not been any ourtailment therefors. The production of flour has been restricted somewhat Ly the lack of power at the miils but is still enormous, The market is however, stronger. Wool and leather are firmer in price than they were a few wooks ago. Generally speaking, British, Continental industties show no improvement, though there {s a batter demand for ocean frelghts at higher prices. The records of failures and strikes last week was about what was to have been expected—certainly no worse. In the stock market the granger agitation and the deliberation in regard to the coal combination are the two subjocts jast now attracting the moat attention. There is nothing in the present situstion that justifies higher prices, and either a failure to reorganize the coal combina- tion or the success of the movement for lower freight rates would force a further decline. e Warm Food For Stock, L. N. Bonham, contributes to the Breeders' Gazetto an article on wintering fall pigs, in the course of which ar.icle he deacribes a plan, which may well be adopted generally, for keeping warm in cold weather cooked food for stock, Thi plan is slmply to set a coal oll barrel in- eide of a box, with cut straw or with sawdust. An old coffee sack, piece of blanket, or carpet is laid over the barrel before putting on the cover of the barrel and closing the lid of the box, This barrel is filled with hot cooked fsed, which will keep warm until fed out, if kept well coverad, Those who keep a cow in town will find a similar devise of great use, since by its use a warm mess of cooked or at least partly cooked feed "can be given at any time when desirable, Those who know how to appreciate the eftects of a cup of hot coffee early on a very cold morning will understand how grateful a pailful of steaming warm food would be to a cow shivering in a cold barn., The first effect of such a course of treatment would be to make warm and comfortable the suffering cow; the next effect would be to increasethe flow of milk largely. 1f hay, straw, or corn-stalks and roots, if roota are fed, be cut fine and mixed in such a barrel, a ration of meal or bran being sprinkled tnrough the mass, and the whole thoroughly wet with scalding water and left jcoverad for twelve hours, the whole will become steamed and soft- ened, making it more digestible and far more palatable than the food could be in itsraw state. The extra trouble and cost will be amply paid for by an increased flow of milk, and by a reduction of waste of food, for every particle will be eaten. ——— Electric Lightson Na ‘Washington Star, *‘Is it Intended to light all of our men- of-war eventually by means of electri- city!” asked a Star reporter this morn- Ing of Commadore Walker. ‘‘Hardly that,” was the reply. “‘but we are putting electric lights on some of the vessels as an experiment, The manner of lighting is scarcely as necessary for paval vessels as for passenger vessels, in Vessels. which it seems to be an additional at- traction to swell the list of passengers. It undoubtedly is a great convenience on war vessels however. One great ubject- ion to the use of common lamps ls the heat generated by them, and scarcely less objectionable is the accompanying smell, both of which are avolded by the use of of the electric lights. Besides it is a great comfort and convenience to have the ships so0 well and so safely lighted. The Trenten was the first American man- of-war that was lighted in that way, and although the experiment was tried by some European nations before, the Tren- ton, when she left New York for the Asiatic station, was the best lighted naval ship afloat. She had 260 lights, It is intended, as an additional experiment, to light the other vestels in the same way. The Omaha is to be fitted with 155 lights and the new cruisers, Boston and Atlanta, will have 210 each, while the Chicago will be lighted throughout with 300 lights. ‘We cannot afford to light any more ves- sels in that way at present, aa it Is looked upon now as a luxury rather thana r.ecessity.” Job Lots of the Form Divine, New York Mirror, The craze for for photographing sec- tions of the human form divine has not yet reached New York, but it's bound to come, 1 have been looking over an Eng- lish collection. There were hands—some of them stuck through holes in a dark screen and clasped and raised; others were taken singly, holding a flower; others again ex- hibited the palm 1ineuch a way that a fortune teller could ‘‘read the iines.” There were bare feet. 1f any one ever saw a bare foot that was pretty on any- thing but a baby, then they have seen Lizzie Weatheraby’s (Mrs. Nat Good- win), She has a besutiful foot without a blemish, and might be justified in hav- ing hers photographed, But the Eng- lish feet that had been subjected to this process that I saw were something wicked. One, belonging to Lady Gladys Lonedale, was handsome; but it was as big as the foot of a bill at Christmas, Then the backs that are taken—just simple, plain backe, with moles, perhaps, or without; and sections of shoulders and napes of necks, scruffs of nacks—scrags of neck, the mutton sellers call ’em—or an ear, just ono detached ear, for that ear s stuck through a sl't in a piece of velvot. —— He Liked Plain Things, Merchant Traveler.

I don't like 1t,” he responded. “‘Why not! 1 think it is real pretty.’ ‘'That's because you have poor taste.” “It's #s good as yours, I guess,” she enapped back, with warmth. *‘Possibly, my dear, but I don't like your carpet all the same,” *‘Well, why don't you?" *‘Because it's too gaudy,” “Fudge, you must be a devoted admlir- er of plain things,” ‘I am, my love; that's why I married ou. .

New Paaltz (N, Y.) lettor to the Philadelphia Times, Those who visit the many mountain resorts among the Catekillin the sum- mer haye,no idea that it is & wild beast hunting ground in the winter. Such is the fact, however, and perhaps no spot in the states is so noted for thehunting of bears and smaller aaimals as Is the neighborhood of Shandaken, in Ulster odunty. With the exception of u;a few amall settlements the . territory is one wilderness of mountain and timber land. Forty years ago nearly the entire popu- lation were trappers and huntsmen, At the present time there are many hack- woodsmen who gain their livelihood by fishing for trout and other fish in the summer and hunting and trapping in the winter, In severe wintors the snow is deep on the mountains and in the ra- vines and notches., In the latter places it remalns far into the spring. At the present time the snow in many places is from three to five feet deep. There are many wild and pictureeque epots in tho town of Shandaken, among which may be mentioned the notch in Deep Hollow, the Hunter Notch, Dav- il's Glen, Weatklll Clove and Big Indian Hollow. The mountains that run up along Deep Hollow are from 2,500 to 3,600 feet, high and nare the winter homes of bears. These mountains are very steep and abound in rocky ledges, under nearly all of which can be found deep holer or caves. Rugged as they are, they are beautifal to look at in the winter sunlight, thelr snow capped peaks fairly dazzllog the boholder, In past years larger bears have been killed than of late, although, Instead of becoming extinct among the Catskills, bears are more numerous now than ever before. A well known trapper gives as his reason for this that a number of years ago, when “he mountains were well timbered, the bears could scarcely find anything to eat, and had to live on roots, bark, and what- ever game they could lay thelr paws on, Since ,the wood has been cleared off, shrubs and bushes have grown thickly, intermingling with briars and trailing vines, which furnish berries and other food for wild animals. As bruin is very much like a hog, he will eat pretty much anything in the animal or vegetable line. In the coldest weather bears usually house themselves in small caves or open- ings, under the ledges of rocks, where it is dry; but when the winter is open they come out and are easily tracked over the light snow, They usually select the southerly face of a_mountain for their holes or dens, probably because it is warmer and more pleasant. It is con- sidered that they eat nothing while housed up, but lie rolled up in a heap. They will remain in that condition the greater part of thewinter, unless aroused by dogs who scent them out. Dogs are their natural enemies. Bears pay but little attention to the loud yelping of dogs, but put on a bold front, Few ex- perienced dogs are fooliah enough to go beyond the mouth of a cave, for a full- grown bear can ward off half a dozen good dogs with the greatest ease. When a dog receives a fair blow from one ot its paws it quickly ‘‘goes to grass,” with the blood spurting from its wounds. At sight of man, however, bears become uneasy and try to escape. As a general ralo they will never fight a msn unless forced into it. When they have cubs and are followed closely, they will keep them ahead, and follow close in the rear to protect them. If pushed closely, they will make a great show of fight, growl, and tear the bark from the trees with such fuss and noise, and do thelr utmost to frighten off the enemy; and, {f there is no help for it, they will fight fiercely when brought to bay. Bears when known to be with young are left alone, unless the hunters are well armed fora fight. Experienced dogs greatly agaist the hunter, and do much toward checking the speed of the bear. Now and then they nab bruln by the hind leg, which worries him greatly. After a dog has tackled a bear once, however, he knows enough to keep out of the reach of his paws, and, belng nimbler than bruin, he has little trouble in doing this. Hunters are often given along and weary chase over the mountsins and through the valleys, ten, fifteen, and even twenty miles, generally in the roughest piacee; for the bear, when he finds that he 1s tracked, will pick out the most tangled and impaseable places he can reach, going down in deep ravines, where the brush and briars are so thick thut they will tear the clothing of the hunters if they attempt to follow him, while bruin will shuflle along, because of his thick hide, almost as fast as though on better ground. The articles neces- sary to complete the outfit of a bear- hunter are few and simple. A good dog and a breech-loading, double-barrel shot- gun, heavy boots, coarse and thick trousers, and a short coat, and a belt with compartments for cartrldges and pistol prepare the hunter for the eport. When the snow is deep the chase will be slow and tedlous, but if there is only a light fall the huntsmen will get so inter- ested that they will keep up a dog-trot for some dlstance. Care must be taken upon nearing bruln that he does not scent tho hunter, or else he will glve him & tough time of it, as the bear will make for the mos¢ tangledspots, and aine times ont of ten escape, within essy shooting distance on good ground, the bear,supposing only dogs are after him, becomes an easy victim, Sometimes it is easler and more profi- table to trap bears than to hunt them with powder and ball. Various kinds of traps are used. The log trap, which cap- tures the bear alive, and the heavy steel trap, with book or log attachment, are considered the beat. When a bear finds himself trapped in a steel-trap he usually makes for a ledge of rocks and then trles to break the trap by slapping it down with all his might, and as they generally have great strength it takes a good trap to stand it. When the bear finds that he cannot get rid of the trap he trles to get away, but, of course, 18 easlly followed, as the trap with the attachments force him to travel very slowly. Some hunters claim that when a bear gets his foot In a trap and finds he cannot get rid of it he will actually chew off the leg, leaving part of it in the trap, and go off and nurse the wounded stump 80 well that In a short time it will heal up 80 that he can travel pretty nearly as well as before. When a Shankaken hun ter wants to capture a boear alive he uses the log-trap and baits it with a sheep's head, well roasted, which will tempt a bear into almost any place, e — Spring Pigs, Where good care is taken to push young pigs from the start, spring pigs can readily be made profitable, consider ably more so than fall pigs, that must be wintered and cared for at least four months, at a considerable extra expense. If pige come early In the spriog and are then pushed along all summer, they will make hoga that will readily weigh from yne hundred and fifty to two hundred pounds; ani when this can be done, sach hogs generally bring good prices and re tarn more profit to the farmer than hogs that are twelve or fifteen months old. The saving of winter feeding alone is quite an item in the cost of the hog, un- Jess the pig is allowed to take care of itself during the winter, In which case the growth is such as to be really a loss in the end. As beiween a pig born in the fall and then left to take care of iteclf during the winter untilitis six months old, and one born four months later or earlier in the spring, and then given reasonable good caresors to be pushed along untll it is _two months old at the same time that the first is six, 1 would take the spring plg, aud, other things beilng equal, at the end ot the year or by the time tho first one is thir tend monthsjold and the second nine, the second plg will outwelgh the first and bring larger price and realizs more profit, Hence it will pay to take some pains to wecure spring pigs. Select the brood #ows now, see that they are good-sized, well formed and from good stock. If you cannot have good blooded stock at least take considerable pains to aeleot the best you have. It is not good polley to breed from young sows altogether, When you have a sow that will bring you from eight to ten healthy pigs, the larger If the hunter can get | f, proportion of them males, it will pay to keep hor several years* Continued breeding from young sows is aure to bring on disease and lower the quality aswell as the health of the pigs. If you cannot afford good blooded sows, you can at least a fford a good male and it will always pay to take consider- able pains to seo that thisis done. A great deal of good, inthe way of im- provement, can be done by using males of good stock, and the expense is so small in comparieon with the benefit de- rived, that it will be found profitable to take considerable pains on this point, Glve the sows good care during the winter; see that they have good shelter and clean quarters. 1t is not necessary, in fact it 18 better, not to allow them to got fat, 80 they aro ina good thriving condition and heslthy. Good clover hay, chopped oate, barley, bran slop are all good winter feed for hogs, and with corn, the staple feed. sufficient variety can be readily secured. Feed regularly, and see that they have access to good drinking water. Give them reasonable good care during the winter and you will find that in the end the hogs will pay much better than whenleft to shift for themselves during the winter. W. J. SHEPHERD, ELpex, Mo. - — Towa Insurance Squabble, Des Moines, Ia., Special to St. Louis Repub- lican, There is a woful lack of harmony be- tween the auditor and several insurance A PITIFUL FATR! How a Minister's Good Deed Landed Him in An Ineane The Story of His sylum, ape. To the Editor of the Milwaukee Sentinel Strs:—1 have read a good many stories of late concerning the confinement of sane persons In lunatic asylums, and I am thereby prompted torelate a bit of personal experlence. 1n the year 1855 while I was serving the Methodist Epissopal church ina New England town a neighbor's house took fire, In common with others, I stcod on the odgo of the roof, passing buckets of companles, and every once 1n a while one or the other starts a racket of public in- terest. The latest Is the granting of w temporary Injunction on behalf of the Burlington Fire insurance company, and against the auditor which arose thus: Last year the Burlington company trans- ferred its risks to other companies, which it avers are still solvent and responsible. For this the company paid certain moneys, but in reporting to the auditor credited itself with 4 per cent of the premium, which would be $96,000, morc than the money it paid. The audi- tor made examination of the Burlington’s affairs, and when through directed the | .- company to raise $6,000 more capital, holding that its reserve was impared by that amount. The company in its peti- tion avers that 1t was agreed to submit the disputed point to Atty.-Gen. MoPher- aon, who ruled distastefully to Brown. The latter then asked MoPherson for a supplementary opinion, but before it was prepared ordered the company to *‘pony up” by yesterday or have Its certificate recalled. On this the injunction suit was set going with the issue of the writ. The supplementary opinion of the at- torney-general conveys the impression that Brown is judge, both of the law and the facts of the case, and if the courts take this view, inasmuch as Brown will be auditor two years longer, he will be apt to furnish the newspapers with con- siderable news during that time, —— Come to Grief, Indianapolis Times. Another spiritualistic medium has come to grief. Mrs. Stewart, who for years stood at the top of the heap of ghost raigers, gave a seance at Terre Haute Friday night. While ostensibly sitting in her cabinet she trotted out eeveral fe- male ghosts who were readily recognized by somo of those present. Finally a gen. tleman from Cincinnati requested the privilege of shaking a ghostly aand, and it was accorded him, The hand was a warm, fat one; in fact, too warm and fat to belong to a first-class ghost, go he clung to it as if he would like to have it linger with him for his future life. The hand did not tremble, but tried to withdraw itself, but all in vain, and finally anything but a ghostly voice was heard to exclalm: ‘‘Let me go.” The manager of the scene discovered that something was wrong, and attempted to turn out the little remaining light, but In his haste turned it on full, when the ghost was discovered to be none other than Mrs. Stewart herself, clad ina flowlng white night gown. A “‘wow and @ wumpus” was the result, Notwith- standing the repeated exposures «f these s, people will go to their seances, sit in the dark and belleve that spirits are dancing all around them, But the people like to be huwbugged. —_—e ‘‘Fanny thing occurred the other day down on the ,” remarked a drummer as he lighted a fresh cigar; ‘‘a big farmer got on at one of the way statlons and be- gan talking politics with an acqualntance, He carried a chaw of tobacco as big as a base ball in his mouth and the more he talked politics the more excited he got and the more excited he got the faster he chawed on that tobacco. And spit— why, man, you'd thought there was a sea on and all the bilge water runnin’ out his mouth, it came in such quantities and just as regular as the waves on the lake oeach down there. Well, they kept on with their jawing about politics and s00n they got mad and the first thing we passengers knew they were clinched and kicking and striking. Wo separatel them as soon as we could, but it seems the big farmar had gota pretty hard rap on the shins, for he reached his hand down in his big boot top to feel of the hurt and drew lv out all red. ‘My God,’ he cried, ‘I'm stabbed; somebody send for a doctor quick, Help!” he bellered like a big calf, Oh it was fanny.” “‘Yes; but was he badly cut?” **Cat, no; the infernal fool had talked and chewed and spit so that he had filled his own bootleg,” | — e Three Men Killed by Kxplosion, CATawissa, Pa, December 2 Heckler, Michael Mulroy and I rry Heloz were killed at Klein's stone (uarry this morn - ing by the premature explosioe of a Llaat, water, exposed to intense heat on one side and freezing winds on tho other. 1 took a fearfnl cold, For twenty-five years it worked hayoo in my physical and mental systoms, Nevertheless, 1 oon- tinned in my ministerial duties. 1 preached many a sermon when suffering intense agony.

Another said I had brain disease, another spinal difliculty, another nervous prostration, heart dis- eage, etc. My mind eventually gave way, and in 1882 I was confined in the Brattleboro, Vt., Insano Asylum for six months.
