; --o
sometime ago to freeze Mr. Morton
out of tbe combioation because of his
unwillingness to pledge : himself to
raise the rmouot of money named by
I chat i man Clarksonas necessary to pay
1 ior hs renomination, and the impres
siou was allowed to kqJ out Jthat Mr.
Morton did not. care for the nomina
tion. But since the withdrawal of Mr.
Blaine Mr. Morton has reconsidered
tbe matter, and agreed to pay tbe
price demanded, and he now naively
announces that he will accept a re-
nomination should it be tendered him
by tbe Minneapolis convention,
epeaaer urtsp round it necessary,
previous to the passage of tbe Springer
free, wool bill by the House, to admin
ister a lesson in parliamentary law and
good mat iters to Representative Bur
rows, of Michigan, who in the absence
of ex-Czar Reed was atteuiDiing to
play bis role, and 1 1 will be a long time
before the scene is forgotten .by those
who witnessed it. Mr. Burrows who
I "aa vtvo lunu jibs uvea UKCflCU XQ a

has a voice tbat baa been likened to a
when he 'was Interrupted bv tbe
sharp command of tbe Speaker,, "the
gentleman from Michigan will resume
his seat." One glance at the deter
mined face of the Speaker, and Mr.
Burrows dropped into his seat, looking
like a cowed dog. '

T jl a .a ....
that Wbitelaw Reid's resignation as
minister to France Is tendered in order
that be may be free to manipulate a
new Blaine boom, Mr. Reid is entitled
to tbe champion belt as a prevaricator
He was in town for three days thin
week, and he spent the most of tbat
time with Mr. Blaine, and wben,asked
about the rumor he said : "Mr. Blaine.
la not candidate.. lie meant every
word be said in bis letter. I think
Mr. Harrison will be ) renominated
with very little opposition." ' , . '.
The House Committee on; Mines and
Miofng has made a favorable report on
Representative Canmeti's bill for anew
executive department of tbe Govern
ment to be knowu as tbe department
of Mines and Mining, and transfering
thereto the Geological SurVey and the
Mint. The bill also provides that all
mineral lands are to be sold undw the
direction of the new department.
Benalor Sherman Is about the last
man that a newspaper man with any
Washington experience would go to in
search of news having any connection
with his official position, but from an
other source it is learned tbat the Chi

served notice on Senator fc her mao that
his government would at once Sever
diplbmatie relations with the United
State, if tbe Chinese exclusion bill.

becomes a law. Senator Sberman ia
cnairman oi mo senate lmm!ttee on
Foreign Affairs, before which tbe bill
now is, which accounts for his having
cgo uuuureu oy tne minister witti
this ultimatum. The impression here
is that tbe minister may as well make
his arrangements to leave, unless he
ean penmaae Hr. Harrison to veto the
bill, as It Is expected to ko through the
Senate with a re. stive majority as
large as it received in tbe House.

; For the purpose of studying -the
question, of tbe value of cottonseed
meal as compared with wheat bran for
the production of butter, twelve cows
were divided Into two lots at the
Pennsylvania station, esch lot contain
ing three Guernseys, one Jersey, one
Ayrshire and one short horn, mostly
grades and in different stages ot the
milking period. During three periods,
the Brst two of which lasted four weeks
and the third two weeks, tbey received
tbe following grain rations per anl
mal i Lot 1, four pounds corn meal
and six pounds bran throughout tbe
experiment. : Lot 2, four pounds corn
meal, two to six, pounds cottonseed
meal and a decreasing amount of bran
in the first period ; four pounds of corn
meal and six pounds cottonseed meal
in the second period, and tbe ' same
ratio as Lot 1 in the third period
uoin lots received tbe sarre amount
per bead of bay and silage, green rye,
or timoiny ana ; clover, and corn
stover, ad libitum. Tbe health of the
miloh cows was not affected apparent
ly by feeding six pounds of cottonseed
meal daily per animal, the weight of
tbe ; animals , averaging about 900
pounds per head.- '
xne yioia or mute was about one
fifth when cows were fed cottonseed
meal Instead o! bran, the cottonseed
meal constituting about three-fifths of
the grain ration and about one-fourth
of the total food eaten.. The per. cent.
of fat in the milk was not materially
changed. Tbe quantity ot batter fat
produced was therefore appreciably
increased by feeding cottonseed meal
n placo of bran. The cows fed cotton
seed meal did not require quite
much tood to produoe a pound oi milk
as did those fed braq during the -same
time, but when tbey were- both fed
alike, those which had previously been
fed cottonseed meal required consider
ably more food than those fed bran.
Judgea who examined the butter, all
rated tbe butter from tbe lot receiving
cottonseed meal, considerably lower
tban that from the lot receiving bran.
Finally, the cottonseed meal butter
had a higher melting point (about 60
Far enbeit), tban the bran butter.
Three young calves were fed daily
one pound of cottonseed meal, mixed
with bot water, in addition to skira
milk. Two died, but tbe third made a
fair siircess. i

we near a great deal about a
gracious, wise and notable ways of giv
ing, out rarely speak of ways of ac
cepting, be It gift or favor. Aod yet
here also wisdom, affability and gen
erosity, or their opposite quality,
may be very conspicuously displayed,
U but few of tbose who baye a liberal
spirit are dowered with that "talent"
forgiving which cheers the recipient
like a sunbeam, tbere are still fewer
who understand how to accept with
grace and dignity. When great saori-
ficies are offered tbe person for whom
they are made is so overwhelmed by
gratitude that all ceremony? vanishes,
aod the expression of thaoks pours
undrained from the heart. But in tbe
thousands of everyday favors one can
not help notioing how few persons pos
ses tbe faculty of accepting graciously.
So at this time of general interchange
of gifts, tbe majority til vial, but all, lot
Lus hope, possessing the genuine value
of being tbe expression of kindly feel
ing, perhaps a little lecture; on the
art of acceptance may be timely.

"Queer enough." said Thomas J.

When onr mtnd ascend the precip
itous heights of literature and scans
the pages on Which tbe hrighest looks
of mechanism are beheld, we may truly
say "where there is , will ' there is
wsy." .The serene granduer connect
ed with the giauc minds tbst have re
oonnoltered. the pages of literature
brings to sight a picturesque scene for
which every reader should be proud,
Let os go back and examine the pages
of history, both ancient and 'modern,
and we are at once persuaded tbat
those who have risen lo eminence, did
it by continual bard work work
wbicb now reaps fur them a world
wide fame. - Let us notice for a mom'
eot the lile of Caius Juliua Caesar and
other ancient patricians. Caesar de
scended -from a - very distinguished
family, and at the early age of seven
teen was appointed Flamen Dialis, i
position which distinguished him at so
early a period In life. When we read'
the'Commentarieaen the Gallio war,
which were written, it is said, in tbe
stirring events of tbe times, we see at
once his trueuess to his purpose to be
successful. At any rate he has left
bsok on Latin which long be read by
students of literature. It was in
moat decisive victory won- near Zela
that Caesar shows- himself to be a
traitor In that famous letter, "Veni,
vidi, vie!,' I came, I saw, I conquered
Virgil, another ancient writer, rises to
eminence like a giant in tbose days.
Nothing seemed to please him more
tban a sail over the wide expanse ,oi
water tbat brought him to his fair city,
Troy. Cicero, tbe great orator, is also
conspicuous among tbe writers of days
past. ; The conspiracy against Cateline
shows that deep purpose of mind e
will to do something will bring forth
much in the future. Let us now re
turn to our own historical age and
view the writings of some of the most
gigantic specimens of tbe literary era.
Milton, whose striking display of poet
ical power leads us to believe that
even, while in bloom of life, he display
ed such great skill; yet, after he became
blind, bis designs were not frustrated,
be did some of bis best writings. , Dry-
den puts forth something to be medi
tated upon in . these two, celebrated
lines: . k 1 " '

A Kansas farmer, writing to the
Farmer's Bevie w says s -
I plant early potatoes just as soon as
possible lo the spring, so tbat they
will set on ana mature before it gels
too hoi and dry in tbe summer. ; Tbe
catore of the potato Is to grow while
tbe ground Is yet a little cool. Plant
late potatoes ia the middle of tbe sum
mer, so tbey will mature by the time
tbe ground freezes in the lalL It takes
about ninety dsys for late potatoes lo
mature. Some farmers wail until tbey
get all through everything else before
tbey think anything about potatoes,
and then Ibey will put tbem around
tbe outside of their eornfleM, where
tbey are1 tramped by tbe horses In
turning, or ia some other nook in tbe
field where tbey wonld not plant any
thing else, tbea neglect Ibem, and soon
the weeds are too much for them.
And when they came to dig them they
fiad only a few smsll potatoes, aud
then they make op their aainds that i
Kansas is no plaoe to raise potatoes, i
aoy way. , . '
