St. Paur, Minn., June 9.—[Special Tele- gram to Tne tre]—That Farmer is nota success as o stop was conclusively demonstrated to . 2,000 people who saw him attempt to fill Pickett's shoes to-day. Of the four grounders knocked to him, he handled but one with effect, and thres of the five runs of the visitors are traced directly to his blunders. The game was one of the most exciting of the season. The Nebraskans took alead in the first inning, and the Apos- tles pulled up to even terms in the fourth, only to have the visitors force ahead again in the fifth. They added again 1n the sixth, and the score ran 5to 2until the ninth fnning. Daly opened with a slashing grounder to Walsh, who letit go by him. Farmer dropped a high fly into Nagle's hands, but Broughton set the crowd to cheering by pasting the leather to center for A base. Daly flow around to third, and guronkhWn took second on the throw in. ckerman hit one hard to Crooks, who fumpled it awhile, but retired his man, Daly scored and Broughton made third. Huwes came up with a smile and a *‘wagon tongue,’ and was requested from all sides to knock it over the fence. He hit it a rousing thwack, nd it got away from Andrews, Crooks and trauss, Broughton scoring and Hawes going to second. 1t was a critical moment. A hit would tie the score, and Murphy, who had already gldl) two pretty singles, swung the willow. e waited and got two bad balis, Then Umpire Cusick called, “One strike.” Tho next ball came singing alone and Murphy hit it & hard crack. 1t went high, however, and landed sccurely in Willis' hands, giving the game to Omaha. This is the first time St. Paul has lost two games 1n succession. Tuckerman pitched ‘woll throughout. He was hit safely but six times, for a total of eight bases, and four of these hits weré madoe in the sixth and sev- enth innings. He gave half a dozen men Pases on balls, but only one of these devel- nto a run. Nichols also pitched in fine orm, being hit safely not more than once in any inning except the fourth and ninth. The flelding feature was a remarkable catch by Daly at the left field feiice. Umpire Cusick got into hot water early in the contest for not pleasing the orowd with his decisions, and he was roasted to a turn. Three times he called St. Paul men out on bases at critical moments when they seemed safe, and the spectators manifested a disposition to be nqll‘yzfere will be no game to-morrow, the fi“w scheduled being postponed until Tues- ay. dl Andrews, Canavan, 0| Nichiols, p.

Batteries: For the travel- ing men, Sadler and Sullivan; for the Wy- mores, Lawler and Pickering, The gamo was witnessed by about five hundred people &nd up to thé eighth inning was very close, 'he traveling men proved too heavy in the ninth and knocked out eight runs, winning the game by a score of 14 to 10, The Coliscum's Donation. There was a fair attendance at the coli- seum last evening on the occasion of the flood sufferers’ benefit, and $192.25 was re- alized, which will be forwarded this morning 10 Johnstown. The programme provided by Manager Prince was an exceedingly meri- torious one, and the audience was decidedly appreciative and enthusiastic. The entain- ment, opened with a grand entree by tho Omaha wheel club, and the score or more of Rlistening wheels, ridden by strong, athletic Yyoung fellows made a beautiful picture, Following this came a five mile race be- tween Will Pixloy, E. T, Waldron and Young Wertz, which was close and exciting. Pixley won in 16:31. Mr. Knapp then gave Shock two laps in three miles, and beat him out easily. Flascher won the one wmile, two best in three, amateur'race, against Kustmon and rt. ob Nielson rode a wheel seven laps while Dayo Beunett ran five, the byker beating the intor across the tape by a foot, Losier won the fifty-yard sprint race in 1.5 seconds, his cowpetitors being Dutton, dwin and Graves. ‘The suck race, which afforded much amuse- meut, wis taken by Dave Benuctt. Prof. Loy gave an exhibition of fancy rid- fi. Ned Reading beat Jack Prince in a two o raco, aud Baldwin put the shot, weight ixteen pounds, 3534 feet, and the evening's entertainment ended, Stanley and Williams. The six days mateh race between Lottie Btanley, of New Yorlk, and Laly Williams, of this city, begins at tho coliscum this evening ot 7:80. These two ladies ure undoubtedly the fastest riders in America, and the pres- ent struggle will be one well worth “wit- pessing, as it will settle beyond dispute the Question of superiority. ————- Funeral of Mrs. Kdwin liavis _'The funeral of Mrs. Edwin Davis was held 2 p. m,, yesterdoy, at her late home, 1624 street, and was attended by a large ng of friends of the deceased.

There were also numerous others. Rev, T. M. Hauae, tho Masonic chaplain, read the funeral gorvice and pronounced a fow eloquent sentences, describing the fruit- ful lifc of the deceased. He.commended her a8 a good and faithful servant of the Lord, Whose efforts wero o make cverything and overybody better, with whom she camo in contnct. She was a model wife and noble woman, who did everything thoroughly that she undertook, and the spealer lamented that there were not more like unto her. The following gentlemen acted as pall- bearers: G. W. Lininger, L. H. Korty, 8. K. Jackson, 3, G, Willis, W. J. Mount and J. B. Bruner.

An unknown man met his death under the wheels of a Missouri Pacitic freight train at the foot of Locust street, at 11:30 o'clock last. night. A switching crew, composed of En- gineer Sam Dean and Brakemen William Lahey and James Hanaher, weroe backing a train of freight cars to a siding, when Lahey oud Hanaher, who were standing on the top of the rear car, saw a man lying across the track. Brakes were promptly set, but too late to save three of the cars from passing over the unfortunate man, who was cut al- most in twain and badly mangled. Coroner Drexel was summoned and re- moved the remains to the morgue, where they will lie, to-day, awaiting identification. The victim was a man between fifty and sixty ‘\;eum of age, with smooth shaven face and ald head, He wore a brown coat, checked shirt and light colored linen pants, and had no vest, S Tan it Only a Clerical Error. Certain rumors have been afloat recently about discrepancies in the office of Internal Revenue Collector Calhoun, but the total shortage amounts to but $2.40, and according to Mr. Calhoun’s statement, is only an error of one of the clerks in the office. It seems that twelve couvons of twenty cents each can mnot be accounted for, which puts the books out of balance, and this matter coming about the time a change 1s to take place in the office, malkes it disagreeable for Mr. Cal- houn, who excuses the clerk's error on ac- count of the great rush caused by the large amount of extra work that came in May, the month the shortage occurred, T e Personal Paragraphs.

Southern Politics, Nrw Onreaxs, June b,—[Special to Tne Ber.|—Since my last letter 1 have had an opportunity of meeting and conversing with some of the leaders of the republican party, aad {v gives me great pleasure to record a healthier tone amongst these gentlemen. 1 think before very lodg that afl “the differ- ences between the Herwig and Coleman wings of the party will be: healed up, and a United, if not & triumphdnt republicanism will be the result, 1haveno feeling what- ever in the late or existing disputes botween the Louisiana republicans, but T feel bound to say that A.

I took all the major said with a *‘pinch of salt.” The general opiuion 18 that as cute as the major thinks himself to be, he hasn’t cut his eye teeth yet in southern politics. P. E. Herwig, the chairman of the republl- can state committee, whatever faults he may possess, is unfalteringly true to the party. Outside of subsidies granted for the purpose of practical rulmcn. Herwig has spent freely of his own money. By all accounts Mr, Herwig seems to have the ear of the resident, The Herwig nominations generully g0, I don’t think poor Sambo the ‘‘nigger” has much show with any of the factions, Dud- ley Coleman dreams of a progressive party, to include WHITE AND BLACK ALIKE. Iam afraid his dreams are far from being realized. The colored man is denied his con- stitutional privileges to-day - in the city of New Orleans as much as he was fiftcen years ago. Iwon’t say the colored man is not allowed to cast his vote—but when things are nar- rowed down fine, as in congréssional or presidential elections when the black man always votes republican -if he is allowed; upon” such occasions his vote. may.be cast, but only such numbers as aré considere judicious and allowed to be counted. The fourteenth and fiftecnth amendmonts are dead letters in Louisiana. Said a prominent cotton and sugar _planter to your correspondent the otber day, “To h—I with your Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments.” Who put those ‘‘shinplas- ters” on the constitution? Not we southern men. No, sir, we will never obey them. You may bring all the federal bayonets down here you like, but the NIGGERS SHALL NEVER RULE US. You sce the craze is that - hegro suffrage means universal negro government. - There is no doubt but what the color question isa knotty one and requires delicate handling, 1 sometines think that there is more truth thaa poetry in the statement that the north- ern politicians can not appreciate the diffl- culty down here. Imustsay that the Louisi- ana negro is a bumptious being, much given to cheap scents and jewelry, and always wears a plug_hat on Sunday. He notonly thinks himself as good a8 his old master, but sinco President Harrison's election, a:couple of degrees superior. The citizens of New Orleans the other day by an overwhelming vote refused to tax themselves 3 mills for a new system of drain- age and paving. The result was a terrible shock to the ‘‘ringsters.” I argue from the result that down here, even slowas we are at “catching on,” the day of boodie has gone by. This tax scheme was only the thin edge of the wedge. As I write a _bye-election has been held in the Ninth ward. The result has been a de- cided black eye for the present city govern- ment. The result is looked upon as very significant. There were three candidates in the field. The straight democratic candi- date was elected, the republican ticket ran a good second, and the nominee of the Y. M, A., i. e., the party in power, was a shock- ing baa third, THERE WAS LESS BULLDOZING adopted at this election than has been known in many a day. Dudenhefer, the successful candidate, is an old hand at election games, ana I reckon the Y. M. D. A, thought it best to leave their shotguns and Winchesters at home, Talking of elections and voting I am often amused at the virtuous *“I-never-do-any-vote- suppressing’” air put on by the local de- mocracy down here. ‘The politicians here claim there is no ballot box stuffing. They say that the counts are always "straight as a_string.” This is the way they manage it: When an_eloction 1s due in Louisiana the names of all candidates are printed on a ticker. “No ‘“scratching” is allowed. If you don't want to vote for “A. B.” you obliterate the name witha paster slip. 'I'his slip 18 quietly taken off by the ‘fine worker” as necessity arises. and as often as it is requisite to have a *full hand,” and so the boasted privacy of the ballot is frustrated. I had an object lesson the other night, and found it highly interesting, It 1s is ingenous to say lcast. It is never known o fail, Al that has to be doue 1s to secure tne right men as clerks of election and prevent outside espoinage. The latter is easily accomplished by the shotgun’ policy. The former is only a matter of dol- lars and cents on etection days. So New Or- leans shakes hands with heérself and says no ballot box stufiing for me. Isometimes have to call at tho city hald. There are lots of old employes around this place who were here WHEN THE STARS AND DARS FLOATED over the building. It is pieasant to meet these old stagers. They represent u bye- gone era and rapidly decaying class of citi- Zens. One old *vel" took me into the may- or's parlor and said: *“Yes, sah! (even the whites in New Orleanshave acquired a good aeal of the negro accent.) “'Yes sah, there is the chair that Mayor Monroe sat in when the Yankee officer came on the day they took New Orleans,” “He was a gentleman, sah, and took s hat oft when ne entered de foom, and says he, ‘Scuse me, Mr. Mayor, but would you be good enough to TAVE DAT FLAG HAULED DOWN?

Drs Morxes, Ia., June 0.—[Special to Tre Bre. ] —A good story is reported from Water- 100. A young married couple were passing through the place, and hearing that the comedian, Charles Gardner, was to play there, wanted very much to hear him that night, but their train was to leave at 0:50 p. m,, and they were afraid they might stay too long at the show and miss it. So they arranged that the tigkes seller should keep the number of their soats, and when the 'bus driver called should send an usher to notify them, The driver appeaved on time, but the ticket seller had stopped out and no one clso know - where the happy couple sat. The driver was anxious to got his passengers, and he sympathized with their fear of being left, 80 he determined to come to their res- cue. Opening the door, he stalked down the wain aislo of the little opera house, just as Karl was smging his tender song to the heroino of the play. But the 'bus man knew his duty, and he wouldn’t let a little thing like a sentimental song stand in the way. So nothing daunted, he planted himself about half way down the aisle, and raisiog his hand to his mouth in fire trumpet fashion, he shouted in tones that made the windows rattle, ‘‘Passengers gomng west by the Illinois Central, all aboard.” Thne singer was nearly paralyzed with aston- ishment at the violent interruption, the audience, somewhat accustomed to little things of that sort, smiled with manifest pride at their enwrprlsl'\p{, 'busman, while the young couple that had been the innocent cause of all this racket quietly rose, and sneaked out behind the retreating driver. It.is with no intention of reflecting upon a nice littlo city that ’'bus drivers arc 8o anxious to t peoplo out of it. But they mean to do their duty, even if they have to Stop any pro cession to do so. ———— A Hitch in the Conference.

Mrs. Walton and another daugh- ter were badly injured. — Dairy Suggestions. Speaking of the necessity of cleanli- ness in the dairypan English writer says: “If the millein the course of its career, gets the slightest taint, irre- pdrable damage, i8 occasioned, and carelessness in any one of the various operations connected with the making of butter or cheese, may lead to the production on some occasion of an un- equal and indifferent article, and so de- stroy the character of the product for regular and high class quality. To guard, as far as possible, against such mishaps, dairy operations can only be safely entrusted to reliable persons, who take a pride in their work, and who appreciate the importance of attending strictly to every detail. Such persons will not milk or perform the other byre operations that have hitherto been, 1n many cases, associated with the duties of dairy maid. Their tunctions should begin where the milkers’ end, and their duties be confined to the dairy and its belongings. This is an age of special- ism. It is by the division of labor, and concentrating each person’s attention upon their own particular branch, that every other industry progresses; and the time has arrived “when this princi- ple must be adopted on the dairy farm, It is not possible, however, to educate sufticient first-class butter and cheese. malkers o supply every farm through- out the country. As in every other case, there must be natural aptitude,” e The Shepherd as He ls. We nave just received a very pretty chromo representing a ghepherd tend- ing his flock, says the Woodland Mail. In the foreground stands a shepherd, combining the beauty and graces of an Apollo and Adonis, a happy smile on his classic mouth, and a pretty crook in his hand. In the background ure the sheep. Clean, contented ani- mals they look, with their white fleeces and soft eyes. It is a very pretty picture. Out on the plains of Yolo, a little dif- ferent scene can often be witnessed, The happy sheepherder will be sez=n fighting back gnats with one hand, while with the other he wiil be engaged in plucking cockleburrs from his hair and overalls, Once a month, if he has time, he’ll wander to some limpid slough and, taking off a pair of over- alls and a gingham shirt, will **gambol "neath the sea-green waves,” now and then stopping to howl as a catfish sticks a prong into him.

Gold and Silver—According to the director of the mint, the gold product was 1,004,927 fine ounces, valued at & 5,000, This is about the same as in 1887, being an excess of only $75 000. The silver product was 45,783, - 632 fine ounces, of the commercial value of about 43,000,000 and of the coining value of 859,105,000, This is an incroase of 4,515,327 ounces over the product in 1887, In addition to the product of our own mines some 10,000,- 000 ounces of silver were extracted in the United States from foreign ores and bullion. Copper—The total product, including the yield of imported ores, to 281,270, pounds, or short tons, during 1888, which 058,201 pounds moro thun the product of 1887. During the tirst quarter of 1880 the pro- ai ion was lncrnn!in? av even a more rabid rate. The prices received by American pro- ducers averaged 155 cents por pound for Lake copper, 143¢ for Arizona and 14 for other districts: makiog the total value $33,833,054. Montana led in the production, making 97,897,968 pounds. Consumption was sowe- what reduced by the high prices. Lead—The product increased to 180,555 short tons from 160,700 tons in 1887. The in- crease was due principally to the heavier receipts of Jead in Mexican silver-lead ores from 15,000 tons_in 1887 to over 27,000 tons in 1888, The avorage price in New York was 441 cents per pound. The produetion of white lead, chiefly from pig lead, was 89,000 short tons, valued at §10,650,000. Zinc- ‘The erection of new works and the extension of old ones, led to a further notable increase in the production of zine i 1888, The additions to capacity were fairly uniformly distributed in the west, east and south, Production in 1588, 3 short tons, with o total value of £5,500,53; in 1857, 50,340 tons, worth £4,782,700, 'The produc- tion of zine white in 1888, directly from oves, was 20,000 short tons, worth $1,600,000. Quicksilver—The product was 33,25) flasks (of 7634 pounds cach) from California, a_de- cline in that state of 510 flasks from 1887, in spite of a very sausfactory price. which averaeed §42.50 per flask, making the total value $1,418,125. No new valuable deposits were discovered in 1885, and without them it is not probable that the yiela of quick- silver will increase. Nickel—The industry remains unchanged except for indications of further develop- ments at Lovelock in Nevada and Riddle, Ore, The product includes 190,637 pounds of metalhic nickel, valued at $114,352 at 60 cents per pound, and 4,515 pounds, worth $1,136, exported in ores and matte. Total value, £115, . The corresponding value in 1887 was' §138,200. FUEL, Coal—The total production commercial coal in 1883 w tons (increase over 1887, valued at the mines fat $204,221 $30,625,94). This may be divided into Penn- sylvania enthracite 48,922,807 short tons (in- crease, 4,416,643 short tol or 39,216,872 long tons, inciudin, , 718 Tong tons ship- ped by the iroads and canal and reported by their statis- tician, Mr. John H. Jones, and 1,071,154 long tons sold to the local trade at the m crease 8,043,430 long tous), valued at $5; 040 (increase $45,284,405); all other coals, in- cluding bituminous, brown coal, lignite, small lots of authracite produced in Colorado and Arkansas, and 4,000 tous of graphitic coal mined in Rhode Island, amounting in the aggregate to 08,114,838 short tons (in- crease 13,605,838 tons), valued at $118,572,341 (incrense $24,341,550). The colliery consumption at the individual mines varies from nothing to 8 per cent of the total output of the mines, being greatesy at special Peunsylvania anthracite mines and lowest at those bituminous mines where the coal bed lies nearly horizoutal, and where no steam power or ventilating furnaces are used. The averages for the different states vary from 2 to 6.4 per ceut, the minimum ay- erage being in the Pennsylvania bituminous and the maximum average being in the Penn- sylvania anthracite region. The total output of the mines, including colliery consuwmption, was: Pennsyivania anthracite, 41,62L010° long tons (increase over 1857, 4,045,563 long tons), or 45,610,504 short tons (increase, 4,631,507 short tons) ; all other coals, 102,030,838 short tons (in- crease, 14,152,478 tons), making the total ontput of all coals from mines i the United States, exclusive of slack coal thrown on the dumps, 148,659,402 short tons (increase, 18,653,845 tons), valued as follows: Anthra. cite, 80,020,453 (iicrease, $1,408,302); bi minous, $122,407 311 (increase, §24,49%,685 total value, & 24 (increase, $25,00 987), The above tigures show a notable in- croase in 1885 over 1557 in the ageregate out- put and yalue of both anthracile and vitu- minous coal, ralthough not as great an in- crease as occurred in 1887 over 1850 in the value of the anthracite, or in the total ton- nago of the bituminous coal. Coke—The production of coke in the United States in 1858 was 8,527,560 tons, valued ay about $14,000,000. Pennsylvania produced by far the largest amount, the Connelisyille region alone producing 4,05, Big West Virginia, 535,538 tons; Ala- of all kinds of 142, 35 short 140,009 tons, e product of petroleum in the United States in 1888 was 27,340,018 barrels &ffl gallons each), valued at about §24,5058,650. Of this amount Penusylvania roduced 16,401,053 barrels; Ohio, 10,010,568 ur West' Virginia, = 119,445 barrels; California, 704,610 barrels; aud other states, 20,000 barrels. Natural Gas—The amount of natural gas consuwed is given in coal dispiacement; that is, the amount of ¢al displaced by the use of natural gas, 1t 18 estimated that the amount of coal displaced by natural gas In the United States in 1558, was 14,163,850 tons, valued at §22,622,125, Of this amount 12,543,830 tons were displaced in Pennsylvania; 750,000 tons in Ohio; and 660,000 tons 1n Indisua. BTRUCTURAL MATERIALS, Building stone—Direct returns from the producers of the various kinds of building stone show that there was but a small gain in value over the figures of 1557, The value of the stone produced in 1585 is §23,500,000, or §500,000 move than in the proceding year. jrick and tilo—Value, $5,213,000. "This figure represents ouly a small gain over 1887, T ?I is aue rather to increase iu the number of manufacturing plants than to increased production at the older and wore important SOU of supply; iu fact, mavy of the latter show a falling off in production. Frices also were generally somewhai lower than in 1857 Lime—The production is cstimated at 49,- 087,000 barrels, with an average value of 50 cents per barrel, making a total of §24,548,« 500 as the value of the yeat's product, Th figures aro not largely in advanco of those for 1887, and the gains are not so much the results of increased production in tho leading lime regions as in localities of minor impor- tance. Cemont—Tho amount of coment pi in 1888 is less than for 1887, being 6, barrels for 1883, valued at 723¢ conts per bar- rel, making 4,583,630 as the value of tho year's product. MISCELLANEOUS, Salt—The industry shows only changes: In 1888 the production was 8 barrels of 250 pounds, valuod at 81,577,204, In 1887 the product 'was 8,008,062 barrels, worth 4,008,846, Kansas becamo A commor- cial sourco of salt in 1588, produciug 155,000 barrels with a prospect of still greater in- crease in 1850, Asphaltum—The product of 1889 includes 700 tons of gilsonite mined in Utah: 8100 tons of ordinary asphaltum, priceipally from California, and 50,000 tous of bituininous rock quarried in California for pavoments in ;1‘;"""‘)'0""0n with asphaltum; total value cod slight S1 500. Totals--Tho total value of the minorals vroduced in 1888 was §591,050,031. It is rec- ognized that this is the sum of the values of substance taken in vurious stages of manu- facture and henco not strictly comparablo with oach othor; still it 1s the most valuablo moans for comparing thoe total products of differeny years. Tho rosult is an increase of nearly 0,000,000 boyond the value of the prodict in' 1857, In that_year nearly overy mincral industry showed an increaso, and hence an increasod total was evidont. ' But the fact that the mcrease was o very large was due to rathor exceptional condi- tions in a fow important industrics, and it could not reasonably bo expected that o sim- ilar combination of circumstances would re- sult in even a larger total valuo for 1588, Nevertholess, the unprocedented stimulus given to the production of copper by an arti- ficial price incrensed the total valuo of that product nearly §13,000,000, or nearly enough to offsct the decling in' tho total valuo of pig iron. The other important factors in the In- creaso wero coal and the other fuels which foilowed the increased quantity of metals. With the anticipated decline of copper to the normal demand, a doclne in the total value of the product in 1858 will not be inconsistent with the natural developiment of our mineral resourcos. gt b Taxidermist,catal’g’e.815 N 16th,Omaha gl i, Scientific Breeding. Among the many breeds of cattle and sheep each may have characteristic good points, one breed may have a very hardy constitution, while another, al- though requiring much assistance from the hand of man, may be calculated to feed in early life, and make flesh and fat at a high ratio for the food con- sumed. Tt is quite evident that by the intermingling of such breeds a consid- erable portion of the good points of both may be retained,and practice proves that it is so. However, in crossing, it appears that in all cases the female should be the hardier and the male the softer breed. The female gives the constitution and inward organmzation, the male the outward form—that is, from the female may be expected to come the degree of density in the bone, the size of the heart and blood vessels, vower of digestion, and power and na- ture of the brainj in truth, the parts ruling the temperament and constitu- tion. From the male come the outward shape of the body, tho flesh, forming qualities and nature of the skin and the hair or wool growing upon it. For instance, it has been found that a cross between a West Highland cow and Shorthorn bull has much the hardiness and constitution of the female, but at the same time much of the outward form, flesh-forming qualities and gen- eral appearance of the Shorthorn sire. Home-Made Cheese. In these days of co-operative dairy- ing, when cheese is gencrally made at factories, it is impossible to compete with them in the cost of manufacturing by any home dairy, yet it is nice to have a few old-fashioned home-made cheese, to recall the good old times when we used to eat the cheese made by our grandmothers. This is the plan of a Massachusetts lady, who makes rich, fine and delicately flavored cheese. The night’s milk is strained into pans until morning, when the cream is taken off and the milk warmed to blood heat, when the cream is returned to the milk and thoroughly mixed. This vrevents the melting of the cream, that would otherwise run off with the whey. The whole is then put into a tub with the morning’s miik, and sct for the cheese, with rennet enough to form the curd in about thirty minutes: and here much care is thou, to be necessary in cutting and cro; the curd, and much moderation in dip- ping and drawing the whey from it, that the white whey (so called) may not exude from it. When snfliciently drained. it is taken and cut with a sharp knife to about the ize and form of dice, when it is salted h one pound of fine salt to twenty- five of curd. Ttis then subject to pros- sure, moderate at first, gradually in- creasing it for two days, in the mean time turning it twice a day, and substi- tuting dry cloths. It is then taken from the press and dressed all over with hot melted butter, and covered with thin cotton cloth, and the melted butter. It is then placed upon a shelf, and turned and rubbed daily with the dressing un- til ripe for use. Encourage the Boys, The boy on the farm should couraged in n substantinl way, says Farm, Field and Stockman. He should be given a pig, a calf or a flock of hens, to look after in his own right. The writer remembers his experiences as a farmer boy in the long ago. We were given a little strap of corn ground for our own. It became our duty to raise that corn and enjoy the procceds. The prospect of husking and cribbing the grain was not a cheerful one it occurred to us that we ought to something to feed it to. So we tr the corn for a pig, only to be met by the fact that whi{l) we were not exactly out of meat,” we had nothing to feed tue pig and was in as big a dilemma as before. Then we traded the pig fora cheap shotgun, and the gun for a cheaper fiddle, which we broke in two trying to vlay seven or eight tunes at one time, and sold it for a dollar. With the dollar we bought stationery and wrote a school boy essay for the Friduy afternoon exhibition, on **How to Mako Farming Pay.” Our decline as a farmer was rapid but sure, and we swapped tho smell of onions for the odor of disabled gas jets and became an agricultural editor, making o specinity of - such ar- ticles as corn, pigs, shotguus and fiddles. In the light of memory, we suy give the boys a start, 1f they will trade them- selves out in boyhood they will iearn lessons of observation and ¢ that will bear fruit when the vesponsibilities of ife cluster around them.

SEVERAL VARIETIES OF HIM, The Pig Who Orosses His Logs—The Fellow Who Sproads His Out— A Boor Without any Diseretion. We've all Met 'Em, “Some passengers ought to charter cars all for themselves, and the cars should be cattle car indignantly re- marked Manager Will J. Lavis, the other day in my hearing,writes Charles Lederer in the Chicago Herald, Mr. Davis vesides on the North Side, and his theatre is on West Madison street. Having, therefore, to patronize, daily, the public vehicles of two divisions of the city, he is undoubtedly qualified to be something of an expert in street car othics, The cause of this particular outburst of indignation was this: He was in a North Side cable car. Opposite him sat the semblance of a man occupy= ing the space usually allotted to throe passengers. A couple, certainly young, and probably loving, entered the car. The space on each side of the solitary individual was all the seating capacity not already occupied. Did the party of tho first part move to the right or the left in order that the couple might sit together? Not a bitof it. Impervious alike to an appealing glance from the young lady and a subdued scowl from her escort he remained rooted to his central position. The couple seated themselves, one on each side of him, That was not the worst of it, for it bes came apparent from the conversation of the new-comers, which was necessarily* above a whisper on account of the bru- tal obstruction between them, that they were to be parted for quito a time, Evidently they must make tho best of the present opportunity. This phase of the situation ‘was fully grasped by the brute in the middle, who just ‘“‘gloated and gleed as he listened and leered”— that sounds like a quotation from some- thing or other even if it isn’t. There was, withal, something flend- ishly sympathetic about that nickel- paying, interloping auditor. When the conversation between the two young people was of a serious character he looked pammed, and even sighed once when something very distressing was alluded to by tho blushing and cof- scious damsel. Then, when her com- panion said something uurtfculn;- cheering and even facetious,the loutis] listener on his right relaxed his abyss- mal mouth into an appreciative grin that was simply diabolical.
