There was a crowded at tendance at the half-yearly meeting of the Bank of Kngland. Governor David Powell said the conduct of tho ex-cashier may have been a very serious matter, which had been thoroughly sifted. Wherever anything was found wrong steps had been taken to meet the dilli cully. The directors had done their best, and legal proceedings might be taken which would evoke lurtlier details; but, if this course were hot adopted, the mat ter bad better be let to die. A feeling of suspicion in consequence of this deplor able affair has been thrown over the whole establishment. 1 lie feeling, how ever was not justified to anything like the extent imagined. The renort of tho Governors shows that the bank set aside 250,000 to meet all possible losses in respect to May's advances. ACTION FOK Hl.AMIKlt.

The physicians say that his death was due directly to injuries received in the cafe of the Hotel Terminus, on the evening of February 12, when Kind Henri threw a bomb among the guests. As this is (lip second death which was caused bv the Hotel Termiiiim explosion, the charge of murder is likely to be established against Henri without great difficulty. Paul Bernard, one of the most dangerous international an archist in KunK, has been sentenced ut Moutbrison to one year's imprison ment lor having exhorted an audience in Koaime four years ago to murder and pillage, and the Chamber of lVputies lias voted urgency on a bill forbidding the publication of reports of anarchist trials.

Tact, Not Force, Should be Exercised In Teaching a Calf to Drink Cheapest, Most Effective and Simplest Way to Prevent Horns Growing on Cattle. Prof Roberta of Cornell University is persuaded after several experiments that caustic potash in stick form, which may be procured at any drug store, is the cheapest, most effective and simplest way to prevent horns from growing on cattle. He says : " The best time to apply ia early in the life of the animals, just as soon as the little horns can be distinguished bv the touch. The hair should be closely clipped from the skin and the little horn moistened with water. to which a few drops of ammonia have oeen auded to dissolve ttie oily secretion of the skin, so that the potash" will read ily adhere to the surface of the horn. Care must be taken not to moisten the Bkin except on the horn where the pot ash ia to be applied. One end of the stick of caustic potash is dipped in wa ter until it is slightly softened. It is then rubbed on the moistened surface of the little horn. The whole operation need take only a few minutes, and the calf is apparently insensible to it. A slight scab forms over the budding horn, and drops off in the course of a month or Bix weeks, leaving a perfectly smooth poll. No inflammation or sunnuration has taken place in any of the trials we nave inaue. ine results of these exper iments warrant the following recom mendations: 1. That for efficiency, cheapness and ease of application stick caiiBtic potash can be safely recommend ed for preventing the growth of horns. 2. The earlier the application is made in the life of the calf the better." Keep the caustic while not in use so it will not be exposed to the air. Teaching Calves to Drink. According to E. E. Emery, agricultur ist nt. t.hn Vnrtli racr.titia w n l I - - - v-.w VUV1I1IW SAJiTI 111IC11II , station, the successful calf feeder will use more tact than force in teaching a calf to drink, ye will never allow a foolish calf to betray him into a passion or display of brute force. Do not allow the calf to suck the whole hand or sin gle finger; but, placing the palm of either hand over the nose, gently bring it to the milk held in a convenient-siaed pail in the other hand. By separating the fingers hold back the sides of the tongue and insure the entrance of miik when the calf sucks. If the milk is warm, there will be less trouble ; then give the calf more or less of the two fingers, ac cording to the success in keeping it in terested in the milk. When the calf is doing well the fingers will scarcely be touching its tongue or lips. If it acts badly, give the fingers to suck and con trive to let in a dah of milk, so a sup now and then will encourage the calf to continue. I have been obliged to dip my hand repeatedly into the milk and thus give a taste of it before the calf would allow its nose to be turned into the pail. Some calves will drink during the first to third trial, while others will need the finger a much longer time. Hons Katlng Kggs. Upon this question the Town and Country Journal of Australia says : Of all the evil habits that hens can acquire that of egg-eating is perhaps the most provoking and unpardonable and at the same time most incurable. In the nat ural or wild state the hen hides her nest in a thicket to protect it from her com panions, male and female. Here the preservation of her eggs is paramount to everything else. If wo follow the nat ural order of things, all ia well ; if we deviate from it to a greater or lesa de gree, to a corresponding degree will dis astrous results follow such action. "An ouii' e of preventive is worth a pound of cure." Therefore Btart properly with the pullete by placing their nests in a retired and secluded portion of the build ing. Make a passage way in front of the nest, so that the setter mav be neither seen or heard. The boards which form this passage way also give, besides the seclusion so much needed, a degree of darkness favorable to the quiet occupa tion of the nest and prevent intrusive visits from idle and meddlesome fowls; and if an egg is accidentally broken, the chances are rare that it will be seen by the patient setter and will oiler no temp tation to acquire the vicious habit of egg-eating. Heating Poultry-Houses. The matter of heating poultry-hoiiBes artificially has often been argued, much being said for and against ; but the bal ance of testimony finds the practice a bad one that is often productive of much injurv. The fire gets too hot, then runs low or even goes out; and colds are caught more frequently than with no fire at all. The true plan is to have the house as Bnug and warm as shingles, shutters, double windows, protective banks on the north side and several thicknesses of building paper can make it; then stock the building sufficiently so there will be enough birds to warm "it up with the heat oi their bodies. Be careful, of coure, not to crowd, but yet have a good, fair number of fowls in each apartment. By liberal feeding of a variety of foods it will be found that under this method the hens will keep healthy, abundantly warm and lay freely. ' XOTKS.

That wonderful place where the mai and the molasses flow from a common source, so to speak where your inner and outer man, your mentul and pnys- ical self, must get all their stimulus is the epitome of all the diffusely written history of the lives that cluster around it. What the store man cannot tell you of every passer by and every customer you are not likely to learn yourself, except by unusual fortune; and all he does tell you has the delightful piquancy of hav ing passed through the medium of a rarely shrewd mind, gaining more thaD one beauty spot in the transit. That was what 1 was thinking as I sat in 'Bijah's store, with the mingled odors of calico print and dried npplea, coffee and the straw that crockery is packed iu fighting for supremacy in my notice. 'Bijah's broad back was turned to me and he was sorting the day's mail with comments that made me as wise as him self regarding its contents. "Mis' Mi-randy Beiil." said 'Bijah; 'that'll be itbaout her pension, I jpinB?. Kuther eflicial lookin, tbet ia. Mr. Asy Fowler; his son John gone down to Pochemontli he writes ter him nigh onter every week en a nice, clean hand he writes, does John. Here's a letter fer the schnlema'am. Now thar's bau'writtin fer ye! Putty ez she is, an jest as-simple like." The latch clicked and the door opened. 'Bijah looked over his shoulder and grinned. 1 was shut out from sight of more than the visitor's legs by a slack line of dangling towels, aprons and socks; but they were steady, reliable looking legs, straight and strong, clothed in heavy boots and blue overalls. 'Bijah neither turned nor laid down his letters. He stood there grinning, and whether the person in the doorway was grinning also, or plotting my assas sination in pantomime, 1 was none the wiser. The heavy boots shuffled and turned about, stepped outside and the door shut. 'Bijah chuckled to himself and looked back to his letters again. "Them papers is for young Thomp son. He s th' editor of our paper. He's alive alive an kickin. He's been out west fur a spell, an he thinks we're all dead an buried. An he has 'made a great change in The Bugler, 1 tell you. Folks say he'll be made ter smart fur the way he musses raound inter people's affairs; but it's lively, it's lively." The papers went into a separate box, and 'Bijah resumed the letters. "Mehuly Hopkins she's got a heup of money. 'Mazin haow fond yer folks is of ye when yer got n pile and ain't no heirs of yer buddy. She's good fer em though; she's a cute 'un." "1 suppose it is unusual for any one to make much more than their living away up nere, isn t it, tiijuli? "Humph! yes, fer any one. Not fer some on em though. Some on 'em ia smarter 'n greased lightnin. He pnt his head on one side and squinted at the letter he was holding. nun, now, joremiaii Wilson, hes a keen un. Nobody ever got the best o' th' ole man but Jim. Von saw Jim came in here jest naow: ain't no 'tater bugs on Jim: when he gits up he's up ter an uay. , 'Bijah grinned and wagged his head. "Jere-miuh Wil-son!" he remarked, and slapped the letter into its pigeon bole. The latch clicked again, the door opened and the same pair of legs ap peared in the very same spot where I had seen them before. 'Bijah grinned. Presumably the unseen grinned also, for there was too much of 'Bijah's grin not to be offensive, if it were otherwise. "Whut chu want?" "Nothin." "We don't keep that; or, if we do. were jest aont of it." The big boots turned about slowly. "Sure ye do' want no lamps, are ye?' "Oals go with 'ein?" "Not in this shop." "Thet settles it, as fur as I'm con cerned," and he went away and closed the door again. 'Bijah looked after him and chuckled. "What's the joke, 'Bijah?" "Dono' ez I'd orter say an'thin, aout side, but you know how it is, Mr. Carson, you never seem no stranger." "Hand over your story, you old gos sip," I answered. "Wby, it would burn your tongue off if you tried to keep it til. 'Bijah laughed heartily at this polite sally. "Well, 1 take fer my tex as Elder Slocum saya, that beautiful axum. -All is fair in love an war.'" He came around the end of the counter and sat on an unopened sugar barrel, with his legs crossed and his rough hauds clasped aronnd his knee. "Th' ole mail, Jeremiah Wilson, that 1 mentioned back a spell, he's a Tartar He do' know nothin but hisowu way; an Mis' Wilson, she never know'd nothin but ter gin it to him.

But Mauie she got putty stuffy, too. an she declared she'd never 'poe her father, an thar twas." Bijah got off the barrel to sell a couple of candy bulls to a rosy faced little luss who was so short as to be visi ble under the slack line, and resumed, as she closed the door of the shop "The hull village knew all abaout it and they talked it up, early an late. The gals they wasn't slow ter suy what they'd do ef they wuz in her place, and The Bugler took a hand, so ter speak, an nearly drove the ole man wild. But Miss Peterson, the minister a sister, sue 'lowed that Maine wuz right ter mind her father. " 'Look a-here,' says Jim, 'ain't I got no rights at all?" an Miss Peterson she laughed an said she s' posed so, but he certainly did n't orter usk Maine ter take the responsibility of breakin her word." Bijah chuckled nnd changed his legs and clasped the other knee. "'Twosn't very long after that ole Wilson went home one inglit.

Every dad blamed colume in it bed a big head line, 'Jim Lane has got his gal. Jim Lane has got his gal.' Gosh! that jest proved ole Wilson wouldn't never hev busted when he didn't bust that mornin.

The evils of n meat diet are being ap preciated by many high livers in cities, and these are being counteracted partly by the wealthy in adding more fruits and vegetables to their tables during the winter. The cheapness of meat and a peculiar craving which the system seems to have for meat have gradually made it common for city people to live almost entirely off meat in the winter months. Meat is eaten three times a day in quantities, and the excessive use of such a diet is that rheumatic and gout temperaments are acquired. These temperaments are on the increase, mid they are largely due to the excessive use of meat. Pittsburg Dispatch. Some PostoHlce Figures.
