The street car company’s snow plow was called into requisition yester for the first time this season. It was run over the lines on the paved streets during the afternoon to remove the accumulated slush. The snow fall was not heavy enough to require the use of the electric motor company’s huge plow urchased last winter, the old one propelled y borse power being suflicient for all that was needed. It is predicted, however, by Jocal wedther prophets that the big plow will be needed more than once the coming winter, althongh it was not run over the line at all last year. A “tariff reform” meeting of the unterri- fled was held last evening in Peterson’s hall, on Upper Broadway, at which the purposes and principles of true democracy were ex- plained and 1aid bare for the inspection and consigeration of the uninitisted, without money and without price, by Hon.

Judge Aylesworth, in the superior court, was engaged yesterday in hearing a law case that has some features of interest to the pub-: lic. It isasult by the Milwaukeo railroad company to restrain Contractor C. R.

Tho evidence was all submitted, and the case was partly argued, The caso will bo concluded and submitted to the jury this morming. 'Lhe case has been a most disgust- ing one, much of the testimony being unfit for publication, but as is usual in such cases, it kept the spectators’ chairs well filled dur- ing the entire progress of the trial, The prosecuting witness, a fifteen- old girl, was recalied yesterday, in uttal, anda testified that nothing of an actual pleted act of criminal intimacy had ever urred between her and the defend: young Omeg, although tho boy testified th their criminal intimacy dated back to over year prior to the time of the alleged commis sion of the crime for which he is indictea. There has been some very remarkable swesring in this case, and the jury will un- doubtediy have a week’s work on their hands to sift out the truth. Judge Macy will close up the business of the term to-day, leaving but little time to intervene until'the opening of the November term, next Tuesday. Although the openiug of next term is set for the 5th inst., there will be no business transacted until Wednes- day, when Judge Carson will preside over the Jast term of the ycar in this county. e e A young girl to take care of a chila is wanted by Mrs. P.

The streets were covered to the depth of several inches with the mud and slush incident upon several days of rainy weather and yvesterday morning’s fall of snow, and during the even- ing, as during the greater portion of the day, asteady but exceedingly monotonous and disagrecable drizzle rendered the aspect out of doors anything but ioviting, and undoubt- edly kept at home hundreds who would otherwise have uttended the ball, Notwithstanding the fact that there were less than a hundred couples on the floor, the affair was a very successful one, ticulur] in a financial way. early four hundred tickets were sold, which will leave the boys a handsome sum after all expenses are paid, to be devoted to the purchase of regulation uniforw ove s for the entire force. The net proceeds will bo more than sufticient to furnish every jmember of the police and marshal's forces with a fine outer garment, a fact over which the citizens generally may well ~ rejol as it will herealter be .possible to distingmsh the might patrolwen from the hack drivers or others who are similarly bundled up to withstand the wintry blasts, It is stated that the sale of tickets this year far exceeded that of a year ago, thero beiug a very liberal response twhen the citizens were requested to pat- ron ize the ball, Dalbey's orchestra furnished music for the occasion, The committees were as follows: Invitation, Chief Lucas, Ofticers Mullen, Kemp and Hendricks.

The Barbarous Custom Still Practiced in the Azores. The notice in the New York Times of the coming of Karl Marr’s great pic- rellants,” has recalled to me an episode in my visit to the Azoves last year which may interest your readers, says a communication to the New York Times. Flagellation, that “astounding phe- nomenon of the christianity of the mid- , was at that time found to be practiced in the island of St. Michael, though it was long ago forbidden and was apparently abandoned. However, an English journalist, who was writing an the subject of the islands for o magazine; and a young American who was with him in his ex peditions to all of the out-of-the-way places, beard rumors that the practice was still continuea, and they made a most persevering search tor the place where it was done. Aftor being sent from one village to another they finally unearthed 1t at Fenaes d’Ajudi, a vory retived spot among the high mounsains at the northeast end of the isiand. There they found a small chapel, of which the floor and the walls to a height of six feet were spattered with blood, some of it still quite fresh, as the last flagellation had been done only a short time before. They succeeded with much difficulty in obtaining the instruments of torture, as they may well be called. One, the asorge, or scourge, is a cord with tweive rawhide ends, each about six inches long and a quarter of an inch in diameter, the number twelve represen- ting the number of the apostles. The ant uses this till large welts are vised and the flesh made very tender. The flagella is then used till the blood flows freely and the person is exhausted. That is o round ball of wax about two inch s in diameter, around the middle of which are three rows of glass spikes stuck in the wax, very shavp and nearly an inch in length. The one which I saw was covered with blood. Painful as this is, there is always some one to take the place of the person who goes out. At the time of ich I speak there were eightcen waiting for the honor. It dered a great privi- lege to be allowed to do 1t, as the ignor- ant and superstitions people regard it act of great piety, but as it is so frowned upon by the authorities the priests are obliged to allow it surrepti- tiously. On the return of the two gentlemen to the city of Ponta Delgzada the asorge and flagella wero shown at the club and caused great excitement. The daily papers (which are a_necessity to Azor- eans) took up the affair with great ,ve- hemence and indignation. In the prin- cipal one was a long article headed “Savages,” from which I take a few sentences, The spectacle of which some Linglishmen saw the conclusion on: the occasion of the procession at Fenaes is so edifying and conclusive that that alone would justly give us the epithet of savages, This affair was viewed by Englishmen, who bought some of the scourges, which will certainly figure in the museums of TLondon with the in- scription, ‘Scourges with which the savages of the island of St. Michael martyrize themselves on the occasion of religious processions.” Then we re- main sulky with the English for a month and a half, but the authorities continue to permit these public specta- cles and the reverend gentlemen pro- mote them. The interior of thel coffers is the perverted reason of the spectacle.” Such remarks aroused the authorities to so great a degree that the civil gov- ernor assured the public that it should be stopped at once, and appealed to the bishop of the islands at Terceira for as- sistance in aoing so0. In the meantime the people at Fenaes heard what was being done and their indignation was intense against the intruding foreign- ers, It was said that it would have been unsafe for an English speaking person to appear there. All'this was in the spring of 1888, and Ido not know whether anything has been done about it since, buzll?mw,v that it still goes on. The enlightened men of the city still talk against it, and the civil authorities also talk, but do nothing more, while the priests secretly encourage what increases their power over the ignorant people, — Sure to Cateh Something.

TREE PLANTING ON THE PRAIRIES How to Treata florse With the Heaves —~Preparing Bees for the Winter —Black-Leg Among Calves. Balting Butter. In salting butter, it should always be borne in mind that salt has no afinity for fat. Fat readilv absorbs odors, but it does not absorb salt. So salt absorbs odors, and should therefore be kept en- tirely away from them. It is soon spoiled for dairy use because it is not so kept. Butit does not penetrate fats. It readily unites with the water in the butter and becomes brine, and the brine, though o1l and water will not mix, adheres to the butter granules in fine drops, and flls the interstices, but naver penetrates the solid, compact fat, The tryer always shows the brine in small drops, like dew, saysan exchange. 1t is not evenly spread over the polished steel because of l‘m fat adhering to it. Washing and salting butter whilo it remains in small granules is the com- mon-sense way of doing it. If the butter is “‘gathered’’ before salting it is hardly possible 1o salt as evenly, by any amount of working, us 1t easily can be if the salt is applied when the butter is in a gran- ular condition. If the salt isall right, and at once dissolves us it should, the buter can be immediately pressed into asolid mass and prepared for market. This packing butter directly from the churn is becoming a common practice. The writer was recently covdially thanked by an old maker of fancy but- ter for having told her that by the gran- ular process there is no need of a second working, and she could at once pack ber butter for market. A trinl had fully satisfied her. It saves work, avoids in- f'\u'iu;: the grain of the butter, and essens exposare to the air and conse- quent loss of flavo! rly Potatoes for Winter Use, This year's expericnce increases my faith in carly varieties of potatces planted early for the main crop, says a writer in the New England Farmer. A great many persons believe that po- tatoes for winter use must be a late va- riety, or grown late in the season, and that early varieties dug early cannot be safely put in the cellar. No greater mistake could be made,and yet when potatoes are harvesteda early a little care is required that they may be handled with care and put in the cellar in a cool condition. A loud of bruised potatoes tumbled into a big bin or tight barrels when with a hot July sun may start fec- mentation, heat and decay before they have had a chax to cool off. Ionce lost soveral barrels of early dug pota- toes by such treatment. But ripe pota- toes dug as early as the middle of July and put in the cellar aftor being dried and cooled wili keep dormant ithrough the winter and be equally good for the table us if dug a month or two later. I have re- tained the seed of 'several latish varie- ties, because of some good quality in each, but with this year’s experience I am ready to let them go and depend on but a single varviety, and that variety will be Polaris. I would like a second later variety except for the risk of rot and the trouble of alonger fight with the beetles. Of the potatoes dug July 8 scarcely any wero diseased, and they have kept sound and are the most satis- factory of any I shall have of this sca- son’s product. Of some of the later plantings not enough sound tubers were dug to equal the seed planted. Tree Planting on the Prairic Tn his report on forest ibmitted to the Minnesota Horticultural society.Mr. C. L. Smith said: Now. my idea is that in planting a tree plantation on the prairie the first necessity is a snow break, or protection of white willows, which I believe is the best or cheapest thing that we can get. They should be planted especially to the norta and west. I would rather put it clear around for a timber plantation, but certalnly to the north and west, at least two rows of willows; the rows to be four feet apart, and about a foot in the row. Then leave a space beyond that which should not be planted to tim- ber at least four rods wide, where the snow will gather and not break down the young trees, Again, in the matter of mixing of timbe I do not be e that we can grow walnuts and overgreens as successfully as sin specimens as we can when we mix them with other t If T were to start a timber plantation to-day on the praire, I would start with my willows on the outside, cottonwoods, maples, then wal- nuts, starting at the same time a nursery of small evergreens and then transplanting after the third year and mixing in the evergreens with the out- side trees The best plantations I have seen throughout the northwest were planted in that way. Fall Care of Shrabs, Tt 1s a mistake to let shrubs go with- out attention during the summer and growing season, says the Lady’s Home Journal. Then it is that they should be brought into good shape, for, by watching them us growth is made, one can see where pruning and training is required, and tho nocessary work can be done at just the time when it will do most good, for shrubs are more tracta- ble while forming branches than they are afterward, If you allow a shrub to grow to suit itself all summer, and at- tempt to_rectify what you consider its mistake in the fall, you will find that a great deal of its simmer growth may have to be removed to secure anything like symmetrical shape, and of course these surplus branehes indicate a good deal of growth which has been wasted, So much of the vitality of the plant as was taken to produce them had been expended uselessly; proper attention at vhe proper time would have thrown this energy into the shrub, But we must take things as we find them, and fall finds most shrubs in need of a judicious pruning, if we would have them take on & shapely form. There- fore, when gettiig ready to give them the winter protection, which most of them require to a greater or lesser ex- tent, give them a good pruning and make them symmetrical, It is well to do this before the coming of cold weather, so that the fresh cuts on the limbs will have a little chance to heal or at least dry over before they are laid down and cover Horses With Heaves, A horse with a bad case of heave is of little value for business, But a diet largely of oats and bran, wetted to the consisiency of thick mush, with half the quantity of In'ifht bay sprinkled with water, usually fed to asound horse, and but little water given at a time for drink, will, in nine cases out of ten, fit the animal for daily labor, unless it be a few exceptional days of close, muggy weather. The stable at all times is the best place for & horse with heaves, as the groom has control of the quan- tity and quality of food, which is not the case when the animal is in pasture. If the hay bo lightly threshed and well shaken to rid it of dust, it wiil be far better not only for the animal afflicted but for ull horses. In some cases straw may be substituted for hay, but it is absurd to assort that straw is botter than hay for horses generally. I once used a heavy horse for heavy service, hauling on’ the road and tho farm, that carelessly used would have been worthle: o writer in the Ne- braska Farmer. Great care was taken in the preparation and quality of feed, and instead ot stinting in drink it was given in pnatural allowance, but never more than four or five uarts atw time, Onlyone or two days during the sum- mor did he show eigns of distress, and but an hour or two a day at that. Thou- sands of useless horses could render good service if well cared for. Some give a horse the utmost care during tho day, giving but little drink, and after the Qny’s work, during the simmer sea- son, turn the horse into a field with ac- cess to & brook. Inthe morning his feet are wide apart and stomach dis- tended—a pitiable object, worthless for the day, a result due more to carcless- ness than di 0. Preparing Boes For the Winter. Successful wintering of bees devends largely on preparations made before cold weather sets in,such asuniting col- i feeding, ete., says tho Amer Agriculturist. Unsealed comb du the winter is not healthful food. What- ever variety of food is given them, the mojsture that arises from the bees dur- ing cold weather entcers the unsealed stores, and produces disease. It is far better to look to this important matter during the honey seasou, and prepare frames of sealed honey to supply all col- onies that need feed. But,in our greed for a heavy erop, we are apt to lose sight of this, and when feeding time comes, we buy sugar, at high yric supply these wants. = The fact has b demonstrated time and again, that it is cheaper to depend upon the honey source alone than to use sugar at any time. Besides, we are greatly injured by the popular iden that we feed sugar for the production of surplus honey. But, though it 1s cheaper and better to depend upon the naturai honey source alone, yet, il we have colonies without honey enough to carry them through the winter, and no surplus honey at hand to give them, we must feed them sugar or lose them. Uniting bees, and supplying all colonies with good fortile queens, is of primary im- portance. As we have the advantage of movable frame hives, we should thor- oughly arrange the brood-nest in every colony so that the brood shall occupy the center of the hive or combs., If a frame of brood is carelessly set on one side, the bees occupy the other side and the brood separates. After properly arranging the hive and providing a good queen, we are ready to feed. The food will be stored around the cluster of bees. Frames of comb filled with pollen near the cluster of bees are considered injurious to bees during winter. This has been our experienco, and we take particular pains to cither remove such frames from the hive or place them out- side of the brood-nest. Beesshould not cluster on frames filled with pollen dur- ing winter. They use too much polien as food, and it hasa tendency to pro- duce dysentery. Biack Leg. The season is now at hand when black leg may be expected among calves, and especially those that have been weaned and put on high feed, says the Towa omestead.

Tt was sub- sequently casried ont in action, dealing death to the bear, and giving sulficient reason for the large consumption of New England rum. But the bears are gono with the forests, and the old ‘Andover church is gone also. A chance spark from an oil lantern set fire to the Jackson barn. The fire could be ill- fought with only the bucket from the old well-sweep and milk pails to carry water in. So the flames spread, and high winds blew them across the rond to the old wooden church, and all were destroyed together, and only a cellar wall and a fow half-burned bricks mark the spot whore so many dull but happy Sundays were spent - PRINCES AND CIRCUS-RIDERS. An Episode In Which a Love-Sick Hatzfeldt Plays a Pare. Prince Hatzfeldt had a part to play in a romantic episode, says a Berlin lot- ter. Tho three Loisset sisters were all us-riders, but they were all three ¢ virtuous, well brought up, ful, elover and protty. The eld- ster married a Fronch gentleman and retired from the circus ring and born (one indecd, being of quasi birth) patricians of Germany fell in love with the two younger sisters—Prince Henry, of I Land this v feldt. When ola Kaiser Wilhicln heard of these projected m liances he was very angry. = Von Reuss, openly ignoe- ing the oxpressed commands of his s erign, married the second Mile, Lois- sot, cing by so doing his princely rank and title, and taking up his resi- dence 1n Belgium with his wife as sim- ple Connt and Countess of Reichenfels. But Non Reuss felt acutely the change in his social position, and, although the Countess of RReichenfels was the most devoted of wives, the prince destroyed occur on bottom lands where the grass has been caten closely and has made a a very luxuriant growth after the recent rain: It will come on the animals sud- denly,atendency to sluggishness to-da, lameness in one of the legs tomorrow, and death tomorrow night. Examina- tion will show the blood in the affected leg to be very thick and black. There is but little hope for successful treat- ment. Whenever oneisaffected,change the rest to a higher pasture and slow up on grain feed. Give the calves plenty of exersise, and an ounce of hypo-sul- phite of soda each week in three doses, one dose cvery other day. Burn the bodies of the dead calves at once, with- out skinning, and by no means allow any of the blood to touch asore or a plice on the hand where the skin is broken. Farmers are not aware of the danger they incur by handling calves that have died of blackleg, neither are they aware that the practice of burying them, or, worse still, allowing them to become food for dogs,wolves, and crows, s almost guaranteeing an outbreak in future. Blackleg is not contagious, that is, one calf cannot take it from but the soil can be contaminated even if the animals are buried, earth worms will bring the contamination to the surface. There is necd of careful handling of this disease. S OLD TIME RELIGION, Quaint Scenes in a Vermont Church Sixty Years Ago. Assoon as the text was given out. Deacon Batchellor, who was old an very deaf, rose from his pew, walked neavily down the aisle, and half as- cended the pulpit steps. Then he ad- justed an enormous tin ear-trumpet, and sat there through the long sermon, apiousand attentive, but most gro- tesque, figure, The singers’ seats stretched entirely across the church in front of the pulpit—two long rows, with a rack or desk for hymn books be- tween them. The men singers sat with their backs to the pul- it, while the women' faced them. When the leader struck his tuning-fork and gave the key, all stood up and lit- orally bawled and sang in each others! faces. All the old mournful minor tunes were great favorites, and the rhymed stovies of hell fire, damnation, and lost souls gave the greatest satis- faction o both singers and parson, regational Review, 5 o were Elder greatest joy and most frequent discus- sion, and several times a ye: he preached on the ‘*‘unpardonable sin,” but we must remember that he had none of the sins of great cities to form subjects of sermons to preach against— not'even that of intemperance, for the simple reason that it was then consid- ered a sin in no one todrink strong hquors, grovided a man stopped short of'gross intoxication. Habitual drink- ers were all those New Eng- land farmers, In nearly every household in the winter months little pewter flagon or tankard filled with ling water (and with straw- covered handle to prevent burning the hand) was brought in to the farmer at 8 o'clock, the regular bedtime. Then a great pitcher of rum toddy or cider flip Was brewed, and everyone, men, women and childrven, drank of it,and thus went warmed to their ice-cold cham- bers, where the snow sifted into little drifts on the floor. No farm hand would work at plowing and haying without three glasses of rum a day. Even the tew worlwomen who took thewr rounds among these farms— a tmloress, wool weaver, an In- dian *‘squaw -nurse”—all demanded, cived and drank their daily glass of rum. Bears were not infrequent vistors in Ver- mont in those days, and muny a bear’s tracks and depredations weve reported at the Sunday *‘nooning,” and the hunt himsolf a few yeurs ago. The youngest of these three circus- riding sisters, Mile. Emilie Loisset, was also by far the prettiest, the most g ful and the most sought after. Prince Hatzfeldt laid his heart and coronet in the sewdust at the feet of the fu ecuyere and she promised to become his wife. But Mlle. Loisset, while t dangerous horse in the arena of the winter circus, in Paris, one afternoon, was severe crushed by the animal falling on her. Three days late succumbed to her terrible injuries Hatzfeldt swore he would never marr and, buying the horse which had all this mischief, he, in a very silly and melodramatic fashion, destroyed the hoor brute which had crushed to death his aflianced bride.
