track only slightly damaged. There
wa a heavy wash at Cedar Point,
which twisted and shifted two small
span bridges, which were only temporary
structures. No rails or tic were dam
aged, and there wa not a particle of
di mage to anv of the bridge built on
piling, The greatest damage was done
to the ballasting, which had just been
completed before the rainy season
opened. The total damage will not ex-

army officers that examined Captain Za-liin-ki
at (iovernor's Island, Nw York
llarlwr, wa received at the War Depart
ment recently. In it the board recom
mends that the Captain be retired on
account of physical disability.
The House Committee on Indian Af
fair haa a numlr of hill before it, and
the intention of Chairman Ilolman is to
commence active work a soon as pos
sible. Probably the most important
measure is a bill introduced by IMegato
Rawlins of Utah for the relinquishment
of a portion of the Uintah and Uncom
pahgre reservation in Utah. It is
claimed that asphalt deposit, which are
very valuable, are found on lands pro
posed to tie ceded.
There will lie great opposition In the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs to
the resolution of Hittof Illinois on the
ground that It would not be right, in
view of a further promised communica
tion from the Executive on the subject,
for the House to give expression to the
sentiments contained in tho Hitt resolu
tion. Hitt will make every effort to se
cure a favorable report from the com
mittee of hi resolution; but, a it will
take at least three Democratic vote to
bring about such a result, it is doubtful
if he will be successful.
A decision npon the alien contract law
wa rendered in the Supreme Court of
the United States by Justice Brewer. In
the United States Court for the eastern
district of Pennsylvania John 8. and Jo
seph Lees were fined f 1,000 for violation
of the law, and aptiealed, attacking the
constitutionality or the act and the ju
risdiction of the court. Justice Brewer
announced that the Snpreme Court
fonnd the law to be constitutional and
the District Conrt had jurisdiction. But
the proceeding against Lee being crim
inal in its natnre, the conrt below erred
in compelling the defendants to give tes
timony in favor of the government. This
error was sufficient to warrant a reversal
of the judgment and to remand the case
to a new trial.
Since the resignation of J. J. Van Alen
from the position of Ambassador to It
aly, which took effect November 25. the
date of his second letter to the President
on the subject, Mr. Cleveland ha had
little opportunity to consider the ap
pointment of his successor. It is said,
however, that he ha thought the matter
over and will not long delay sending the
nomination of a new Ambassador to the
Senate. The presence in Washington
last week of Oscar Straus of New York
has been coupled with the resignation of
Mr. Van Alen, and some astute New
York politician give credence to the
story that Mr. Strau may be selected.
It is also stated that the name of Judge
Lambert Tree of Illinois, ex-Minister to
Belgium, will be presented to the Presi
dent by Hon. Don M. Dickinson, if he
has not already taken action.
The contracts for three new gunboats
have been awarded to the Newport
News Company, the Board of Nval
Officers having finished its considera
tion of the plans. The Union iron

the two larger vessels for $202,000 each,
and made a similar reduction from their
bid on the third vessel. The ships wiil
be built bv Huntington' Companr for
(SW.UOO each. They are known as No.
7, 8 and 0. As finally settled npon by
the department No. 7 will be 220 feet
long by 36 feet beam, of 1.201 tons dis
placement and 14 knot speed ; Nos. 8
and 0 will be 250 feet long by 60 feet
beam, of 1,313 tons displacement and
and thirteen knots speed. All three
will be twin-screw vossels with triple
expansion engines, and will carry arina
nn nt of six-pounders and under.
It is not known definitely what the
House Committee on Banking and Cur
rency will do upon the bill to repeal the
10 per cent tain State banks. A bill will
lie reported as soon as a vote in the com
mittee is reached. Of the seventeen
members of the committee the six Re
nuhlicans. Springer of Illinois and Sperry
of Connecticut will vote against report
ing the bill. Johnson of Ohio, who was
supposed to be doubtful, says he is
against the bill, but will report it favor
ably Irom the committee to get it before
the House. He thinks with a matter of
this importance, In which so many mem
bers are interested, the question Bhould
be brought before the House for consid
eration, tmt will reserve the right to vote
against the bill on the floor of the House.
Several members who were for repeal
before the message have expressed them
selves since as indifferent or believing it
would not be wise to pass the measure
now.
Senator Cullom has introduced a bill
intended to meet one of the weak points
that experience has found in the inter
state commerce act. This proposed
amendment ia intended to force the ac
ceptance by one railroad of the traffic of
another, for the purpose of making a
continuous line and the further purpose
of preventing railroads from discriminat
ing between roads in the acceptance of
traffic Section 3 of the original inter
state commerce act was meant to do this,
but the railways, a Senator Cnllum
puts it, are inclined to be technical, and
there seems to be some difficulty in car
rying out the law In that regard. An
other amendment by Mr. Cullom defines
with positiveness the meaning of the
word line" applied to railroad, and is
intended to cure the act of a defect and
meet the derision of Judge Brewer, who
in a case before him in the United State
Circuit Court construed the word line to
mean something different from the con
struction which aciwding to Mr. Cullom
the trainers of the law intended it should
moan. The last amendment repeals the
present claus making violators of the

When we take into consideration what
a blessing a well-ordered creamery is to
the community, it is hard to feel charit
able toward a badly-ordered one. The
first is a good thing; the second a dis
gusting nuisance.
When fruit or vegetables are stored in
a cellar, be careful to give them ample
ventilation. This can be accomplished
without raising the temperature too high
by having it open during the night.
Much of the trouble credited to In
sects and fungi can be avoided by hav
ing hardy, vigorous plants. Weak
growths are m nch more readily overcome
by fungous diseases. , , .

SOME PRACTICAL POINTERS.
Experience in Carefully Breeding
and Selecting to Secure Fall
stnd Winter Layers.
I wish to give as briefly as possible
what I have learned by experience in
carefully breeding and selecting to secure
fall and winter lavers, as our egg market
here in Central New York is the best as
to price during these manths, says a cor
respondent of Farm Journal. I used to
think that pullets hatched in Jnne were
just as good for winter layers as those
batched in April, but the last four or five
years I have by careful selection and
comparison found that theearly-hatehed
pullets are more profitable, taking the
year through, than late-hatched ones. I
hive found that tiie June pullets gener
erally did not commence to lay before
the last of January or the first of Feb,
ruary, even when the conditions were
favorable, while the April-hatched ones
would commence to lay by the last of
September or first of October and con
tinue to lay until next March or April
without showing any disposition to set,
? living me a very profitable return for
eed and care bestowed upon them. It
is ell to have a few pullets hatched out
late for the next summer egg-laying if
one has a variety of fowls which after
laying all fall and winter do not lay as
well the next summer. My pullets which
were hatched out a year ago last April
have laid well this summer. Of course,
I have had to break them up from set
ting two or three times, but that is easily
done ; just shut thee up a few days in a
small coop, and they will get over it and
go to laying again in a few days. As you
ask about the varieties I keep, I would
say in reply that I first tried the White
Leghorns, and found that April-hatched
pullets of that breed would commence to
lay about October 1 and continue to lay
until the next April or the very last of
March before wanting to set, thus hav
ing a nice profit during fall and winter.
The last two years I have used a cross,
combining the following varieties: Hou
dans, Don.inick and White Leghorns.
Ihey did finely, laying a large number
of eggs. I had a few pullets which were
hatched out about April 10, which com
menced to lay about the middle of Sep
tember the same season. This year I
have a cross between the Houdans,
White Leghorns and Plymouth Rocks,
and they promise to prove equal to the
others. ,
BUILDING A DAIBT BARN.
The Practical Farmer says : Within a
few days the writer has received several
letters seeking light in regard to barn
building, with special reference to the
keeping of a dairy and a possibility of
winter milk. When one takes expense
and convenience into account, with the
influence that a barn has in the keeping
of stock well, which means a light, dry.
clean nd well-ventilated stable, we 'n
cline to the idea that the barn should be
the ration barrack, and the cows should
be stabled in an L to that barn, ex
tending to the south, so as to get sun
light abundantlvon three sides of it;
that it should be of lumber, double
I wanted, so as to have a dead-air space
in the walls, a good-sized window for
null three cows. The stable should not
be less than thirty-four feet wide for
two rows of rows and nine feet clear on
the inside, and each cow should have at
least three feet tonr inches of space to
stand in, and a half partition l etween
each row if possible, and one between
every other row in any event, and these
rows tied either with halters or sus-
I .ended stanchions. Such a stable, with
oft for hay or straw, ready for the cows,
can he built for not far from $16 per cow,
and is in every way better for a dairy of
cows than it is possible to construct a
basement stable; and when once made
it can be kept dry and free from chilli
ness, which is the " damper " on profit
able milk-making in the winter. In our
opinion the great castle-like barn has no
place in the economy of the modern
dairy. What is wanted is a perfect as
possible stable, and the barns that al
ready exist may be cheaply made to bold
and protect the feed for the stock in the
more concentrated form of silage, clover,
hay and the grains that are now consid
ered essential in making up the balanced
ration.

Better grow into dairying than go into

A rough hide is a sign that something
is wrong.
A safe rule to follow is to cultivate all
newly-planted fruit trees the same as a
crop of corn or potatoes.
Some people are not very particular
about eating dirt, but they all object to
paying for it at prices ot butter.
Inspect flocks often during warm
weather to see that maggots do not get
on the animals. They cause trouble.
Do not breed from grade sires if it can
be avoided. They always give the prog
eny a greater chaitce to inherit " scrub "
qualities.
The progressive dairyman cannot af
ford to use anything poorer than a first
class bull. The future of his herd de
pends upon him.
One of the principal points in making
a success in dairying is that of produc
ing a uniformly flrtt-class product dur
ing all seasons of the year.
Cover the pits of blackcaps now if you
wish them to root. Better plants will
be obtained this way than ii they are
left to do their own rooting.
The money expended for pure-bred
male animals is one of the best invest
ments that can be made, and gains com
pound interest in a short time.
It takes a Christian to properly han
dle a good cow; a philosopher to teach
her call to drink, and a bandit to do jas
tice to the male ancestor of the calf.
An apparatus for spraying will soon
be counted a necessity where fruit is

fighting many insect and fungous pests.

Joseph H. Manley, Blaine's old-time
friend, remark casually in passing: "It
is useless to speculate about Presidential
possibilities at this time. Certainly no
man who haa any Presidential aspira

almost fatal to any man to have his
friends begin to boom him for the Presi
dency three years before the meeting of
the national convention."
There is a good deal about the present
Lord Mayor of Manchester's history
which resembles that of the noted Dick
Whittington. He was born in the little
village of Farcet in Huntingdonshire.
He was apprenticed to a draper, and on
the expiration of his apprenticeship left
with no resources to seek his fortune.
He got to Manchester, found work, pros
pered and, like Whittington, made a f.r
tune and. returning to his native town,
married his first maatei's sJaugUV?r.
