We atcept without hesitation the
statement of the war department that
"the death of general Lawton will not

British BelfialineM Punished.
[Springfield Mass. Republican)
It is now apparent that Great Britain
would be better off in this war if she
had allowed the Boers years ago to ac
quire Delagoa bay. If Lourenzo Mar
quez were a Boer port the British could
blockade it and prevent absolutely com
merce of any sort from passing through
It. But being a Portuguese Port no
blackade Is possible, and commerce can
continue through it, much to the ad
vantage of the Boers. Besides, were it
a Boer port the British could capture it
aud make It the base of an invasion of
the Transvaal by the shortest possible
route.
A recent l'arls dispatch says that,
while it is anticipated the French
government will be strong enough to
carry the approval of the Franco
American treaty through the house and
the senate, it is evident that violent op
position to the treaty will be met in the
agricultural and industrial parties. The
alarm over American commercial ex
pansion felt in France has been con
verted into a panic by Georges Wen
lersse's remarkable article entitled
"The Conquest of the World by the
United States," which the papers are
still discussing. The Petit Bteu de
voted a column on its first page to an
article warning the government that
French industry is on the road to ruin,
owing to American competition. On
top of this came the announcement
from inside circles that the delay in
completing the exposition might com
pel the government to ask American
industry to finish-the work, and the
probability of American companies
getting the large contracts for the con.
struction of the Indo-Obina railway.
Complaints- come from Indo-Chfj*
that San Francisco exporters are mono
polizing the trade of: that colony, de
spite the French protective duty.
American butter,' preserves, flour, corn
meal and machines aro superseding
French exportation, and that these
facts have produced a genuine scare in
commercial circles.
The evangelist Moody had probably
Bpoken to more .people in public than
any other American. For along period
of years he addresoed vast audiences in
this country and in England, and his
discourses produced a very marked, and
in thousands of case, a lasting impres
sion upon the hearts and lives of those
who heard him
What was the secret of his power?
He spoke the same message that multi
tudes of clergymen delivered. He had
neither great learning nor the oratory
of the schools, lie was not highly
gifted with that indefinite quality call
ed "magnetism." He was simply a
plain, "everyday" man of the people,
with a genius for common sense, a
great love of his fellow-men, and one
whose sympathy and sincerity were BO
evident that they carried conviction to
his bearers. He not only believed his
religion but he practiced it.
Furthermore, he believed in publicity
and waB not afraid of being called
sensational. His revivals were organ
ized and conducted with great execu
tive ability. He believed in big audi
ences—not in preaching to a select few.
He despised Pharisaism and broke
through the trammels of convention
ality. The secret of his power and his
success was the old and open secret of
character and labor—of brain well used,
belief honestly held and earnestly pro
claimed, and an enormous capacity for
hard work. .N. Y. World.

It may be necessary for Joseph

people are likely to rebel against the

The subject peoples of the British
empire feel a thrill which they mistake
for a disease so long have their necks
been calloused by the hard heel of the
conqueror. But it is the rising health
of manhood long suppressed. Around
the wide frontiers of the empire rises
the tide of competing ambitions, and If

leave no dry land on which the ark of

"Top O' the SCorning."
Thamandheu! But there It Is,
Dawn—on the hlUs of Ireland.
God's angels lifting the night's black veil from
the fair
Sweet face of my sire-land.
Och, Ireland! and Isn't It good you look,
Like a bird In a rich adorning,
And with all the pent-up love of my heart
I bid you the "Top the Morning."
This one short hour pays lavishly back
For many a year of mourning,
I'd almost venture another flight,
There's so muoh joy In returning:
Watching out for this haliow'd shore,
All other attractions scorning
Oh, Ireland] don't you hear me shout-"
I bid you the "Top o'the Morning."
See there on Cleena's shelven strand
The surges are gladly beating,
And Kerry is pushing her head-land out
To give us the friendly greeting.
Into the shore the wild birds fly
Od pinions that know no drooping,
And out from the cliff on surges charge
A million of waves come trooping.
Oh Indly, generous land,
So leal, so fair and loving,
No wonder the wandering Celt should think,
And dream of you In his soaring.
'ihe alien land may have gems and gold,
No shadow may ever have gloomed It
But the heart w)U sigh for the absent land,
Where the love light first Illumed It
And doesn't old Cove look charming there,
Watching the wild wave's motion,
Leaning her back against the hills
And the tip of her toe In the ocean.
It's a wonder I dent hear Shandon's bells
Oh, may be their chlmings over,
For its many a year since began
The life of a western rover.
For thirty summers, astbore machree,
These scenes I npw tent my eyes on
Ne'er met my vision, save when they rose
In memories dtra horizon
E'en then 'twas grand and fair to see
As the landscape spread before me,
But dreams are dreams, and my eyes would
open
To see Texas skies above me.
And many a night on the Texas plain,
When the day and the chase were over,
My thoughts would fly o'er the weary wave
And o'er this coast line hover
And the prayer would rise that some future
day,
AU dangers and doubtings scorning,
I'd live to win from my native land
The light of young liberty's morning.
Now, nearer and fairer, the coast line shows-
Was ever a scene so splendid—
I feel the breath of the Xunster breeze,
Thank God, my exile's ended.
Old scenes, old songs, old friends again,
The vale and the cot I was born in.
Oh, Ireland! from my heart of hearts,
I bid you the "Top o' the Morning."
Brown SwiH
Origin and history.—Switzerland has
been famous as a dairying country for
some centuries. It is especially noted
for cheese, and it is said that seventeen
different, kinds are regularly exported
to other countries. T,wo distinct races
of-cattle contribute to these product^,
and both are excellent dairy animate
Inm&ny respects they, are- uppquattad
by any of the other breeds of conti
nental Europe.
The Brown Swiss iB the breed better
known In the United-States. It Is
called also Brown Switzer, but more
properly Brown Schwzer, from -the
Canton Schwyz, where the breed orig
inated or, at least, has been brad long
est and is still found of truest type*.' It
is now common to the other cantons Of
eastern and central Switzerland,and has
a fine reputation throughout Europe.
These cattle have been*especiaily: sac
cessful as prize winners at PariB, Ham
burg, and other large exhibitions of
live stock.
The first pure-bred animals of this
breed brought to the UnitedStatescom
prised one bull and seven heifers,
Imported from the Canton Schwyz to
Massachusetts in the autumn of 1869.
It was till 1881 or 1882 that other im
portations were made, hut meanwhile
this first little herd had been kept pure
and had increased to nearly two hun
dred in number. During the years 1882
and 1883 several importations were
made and there have been a number
since. Where they have become known
these cattle have made a favorable im
pression among dairymen, and herds of
different sizes can now be found in
states of all parts of the Union.
Characteristics.—The Brown Swiss
may be placed in the second class as to
size among the distinctly dairv breeds.
They are substantial, fleshy, and well
proportioned, with very straight, broad
back, heavy legs and neck, giving
general appearance of coarseness. But
when examined they are found to be
small-boned for their size and to possess
a fine, silky coat, and rich, elastic skin,
with other attractive dairy points. A1
though generally described as being
brown in color, the brown runs through
various shades and often Into a mouse
color and sometimes a brownish dun,
especially for the saddle or body. Head,
neck, legs, and quarters are usually
darkest in color, often almost blaok,
The nose, tongue, hoofs, and switch are
quite black. Characteristic markings
of the breed Include a mealy band
around the muzzle, with a light stripe
across the lips and up the sides of the
nostrils, a light-colored tuft of hair be
tween the horns, and a light-colored
stripe extending all the way along the
back of the tail. The eyes are full and
mild, but bright, usually black. The
horns rather small, white, waxy, curv
ing forward and inward, with black
tips. The ears are large, round, and
lined with long silky hair, light in color.
The barrel of the body is large and well
rounded. The udder and teats are
large, well formed and white, with
milk veins very prominent. The cows
often carry remarkably well-shaped es
cutcheons. The animalB of a herd are
generally even In appearance, showing
careful breeding extending through
many generations. Bulls and COWB are
alike docile and easily managed. The
cows are so plump and compact as to
appear smaller than thev really are.
Mature animals weigh from 1,200 to
1,400 pounds, and often more bulls run
up to 1,800 pounds and over, yet are
not BO much heavier than the females
aB-.ln most breeds. These cattle are
extremely hardy and very active for
their size, being necessarily good
nnmnMItt vUmtNir- in tfctir nativ*
The description given indicates that
these cattle an good for beef as well as
for dairy. They are almost always
fitU flMhed, easily kept ao, and readily
fattened when not in milk. The flesh
iissaidto be fine-grained, tender, and
sweet. A barren heifer in Minnesota
weighed 1,680 pounds a mature cow in
jNew York, fattened for butcher,
{weighed 1,925 pounds, and made 1,515
pounds of beef. A pair of Swiss steers
at 13 months old weighed 2,200 pounds.
The calves are large, often 100 poundB
at birth, and'make a vigorous growth.
Altogether, the Brown Swiss is able to
present about as strong a claim as any
breed to being a profitable "general
purpow cow."
In their native country these cattle
are ordinarily fed nothing but hay,
grass, or other green forage, through
out the year, but they respond prompt
ly to more various and generous feed
ing.—Farmer's Tribune. »K.
TatMaing Beef Oattle.
The Toronto Mail tells what is to be
come of nearly two billion bushels of
corn grown in the United States as fol
lows:
"So important haa the ^business of
fattening cattle become In the corn
states that the stock raisere actually
buy poor grade cattle in the open stock
yards market at Chicago, ship them out
by rail, feed them well for three months
and bring them qack at a considerable
profit
"Recently Chicago has been sending
from 7,600 to 10,000 cattle a week in
this way to the farms. Not only this,
but IUttMli and Indian a stockmen
have been actually shipping cattle
to the weat from Virginia,—bringing
the cattle to the food instead of sending
the foodjtji the cattle. ThisiB a com
parItaSfti«w dewtopment.at. the i«
duqtry, and at the present high pries
for beef it means immense profits to the
actual producer.
"It will be seen that the return of
good times to the stockman means a
much wider distribution of the fruits
prosperity throughout the country—
indeed, a much moret favorable condi
tion all over the nation—than a Bingle
ood wheat or corn or cotton,
crop. And
lot only is the cattleman himself
profiting by the rise in prices, but the
railroad man is doing more business,
Tor after bringing the lean cattle to
market he may freight them out to the
farmer to be fattened, and then back
again to the market, whereas in ordin
ary times be might move them only
once.
AN ENGLISH "TREAT."
Tfc. Between tke Mltak
ud Amartfi.. Method..
I was conitantly struck, says Colonel
T. W. Higglnson In Thb Atlantic, with
the genuln. spirit of hospitality among
Englishmen toward Americans,as such,
even those with whoso pursuits they
might have almost nothing In common,
and for whom they had not the a light
est reason to put themselves out. 1
liked this none tbe less (or Its having
Its definite limitations as to pecuniary
obligations, and the like. Including ev
erything In the nature of "treating/'
all this being In my opinion a weak
point In our more gushing or more self
conscious habit.
I remember to have once been taken
by a gentleman, on whom I had but
the slightest claim, to the country
house of another, on whom I had no
claim whatever. The latter was not at
all literary, and had not even the usual
rague English Interest In American
affairs. Tet be gave up his whole aft
ernoon to drive me to Kenllworth,
which he had seen a thousand times.
But that for which 1 liked him best,
and which afforded me a wholly new
experience, was that as we entered the
outer doorway, be, going first, looked
back over his shoulder and said simply,
"They make you pay threepence for ad
mission here," and then added, speak
ing to the attendant, "here Is my three
pence,"
After ail the time and trouble be had
given to hlB stranger guest he left him
to pay his own threepence, a thing
which most Americans would not have
dreamed of doing. It would have been
the American notion of good breeding
to save a guest from expense, as It was
the English Impulse to save him from
the sens, of obligation. 1 confess that
I prefer tb« latter method.
Both Afflicted
There came to a young doctor an un
commonly unclean Infant, borne in the
arms of a mother whose face showed
the same abhorrence of soap. Looking
down up.n the child for a moment, the
doctor solemnly said:
"It seems to be suffering from 'hydro
pathic hydrophobia.'"
"Oh, doctor, is It as bad as that?"
cried the mother. "That's a big sick
ness for snch a mite. Whatever shall
I do for the child?'
"Wash Its face, madam," replied tbe
doctor. "The disease will go off with
the dirt"
"Wash its face—wash its face, In
deed!" exclaimed the mother, losing
her temper. "What next, I'd like to
know!"
"Wash your own, madam—wash your
own." WM tk. wJoUdah—Bugalo Bn*

Milk and bntter records.—Developed Remember that name when you want
as a dairy breed primarily, Brown & delicious, appetizing, nourishing food
Swiss cows yield a generous flow of
milk and hold out well. Good speci
mens may be expected to give an aver
age of ten quarts for every day in the
year. Six thousand pounds a year is
an ordinary record, and single instances
are known of 8,000 to 10,000 pounds.
One Swiss cow owned in Massachusetts
produced, by accurately recorded
weights, 86,304 pounds of milk before
twelve years old. The quality of milk
is above the European average, 3% to
4 per cent of fat being usual. The cow
mentioned above made a butter record
ranging from 600 pounds to 610 pounds
per year for four yeare, bnt this was ex
ceptional. Ordinarily 22 pounds of the
milk. of this breed will make one
pound of butter, and sometimes it does
better.
