SHnQtnwtra1-tor FALLACIES A HOLT WIGS. Occasionally there goes the rounds of the press a note smiii-lliing like (lie 'following, says the Ilaltinmre Sun: ''Dark shelled eggs are much richer In flavor than the w hite shelled eggs.'' Were the author of such an item traced out he would bo found to In; a man who has a breed that is laying brown shelled eggs. It matters not how experienced an nn epicure a man may In-, blindfold him ani lie could not tell the differ nice in the taste of a white or brown shelled egg were they Imth from t lie name flock and the two hens that laid the eggs fed fin the same food. Food has a wonderful influence, however, on the quality of the egg. Fowls that are confined in yards where there is no trass or clover will nftcn eat enough weeds to greatly affect the flavor of their eggs. Eggs are often condemned as not being fresh, when in fact, the food of the hen has been of such a kind Hint the delicate characteristic flavor of egg; such as proper food produces, is near ly lacking. Corn lias the effect, when fed liberal ly, of causing the. hens to produce egg with rich looking, dark yellow yolk. while wheat fed instead of corn will J yield eggs of a p ile yellow. Til.) pub lic Imigino the dark yellow yolk egijs are the richest. They are not. The pale yolked egg, nude so from a good, sound, wheat diet, is the richest. Green food in the spring product! the dark yellow yolk. While food has considerable influ ence on the yolk of the eggs, it lias little or none whatever on the color of the shell. There are certain breeds that never lay other than white shelled eggs, and others that also in variably lay brown shelled eggs. An egg from a Leghorn that was not white, and pure white at that, would never bo set by a poultry fan cier. A white egg from any of the Asiatic breeds would be a curiosity. The distinctive shape and color of tho eggs of domestic poultry areas marked and established a feature as Is the case with wild ducks. THE EFFECT OF SALT OX MILK". Farm mill Homo. Salt given to cows has sonic effect nn the quality of the milk. This Is necessarily so as the salt aids very much In the digestion of the food, and it is the quantity of the food digested that regulates the quantity and qual ity of the milk. Salt is indispensable to the health of any animal that feeds fin vegetable matter, and the milk is affected greatly by the health or op positccondition of a cow. When salt Is given to excess, it is Injurious and causes an intense thirst, but this does not necessarily make iho milk more watery than usual. If the cow drinks more water than is customary, there is no reason to believe that this excess of water dilutes the milk. The milk Is not made in any such way as would make this possible. It is produced by the breaking down of the glandular tissue of the udder, and this never con tains more than a normal quantity of water. The kidneys are charged with the removal of any excess of water from the blood, and this drain, or out let, if in good working conditijii, will always attend to its own business, and If it docs not or cannot, for any reason, the milk glands cannot perform this function, but the cow becomes diseas ed at once. Hut this is a quest ion that the careful farmer will never have to consider, liccause he will always take care that such a supposed mistake will never happen. It is only the careless farmer who runs risks of giving his cows, or permitting them to get, to much salt. If you feel tempted to brag about yourself, of your blood, or wealth, go slow. The history of the world shows very few deeds that live of which the doer was a braggart. Wood and wealth are good things in their way, but the greatest men that the world has ever produced had very little of either. Columbus, who gave a new world to humanity, was the son of a Genoa peasant. Shakespeare, who wrote the grandest book evei produced by a tin man mind, was a strolling player. apolcon, the greatest soldier of modern history, was the sou of Corsican sub-officer, and the author of our Declaration of Independence was the son of a Virgina fanner. Go slow, my son, go slow. If you arc nothing in yourself, ancestry will not save you, hut If you have brains the world will he sure to find it out and give you due honor therefor. Go slow, In evil, but swift in all good, and thus make your life what it should be, a blessing to nil other lives. A young lady looking at a picture representing a pair of lovers in a bout, with tho lover gently clasping the waist of his adored one, Innocently remarked, "How natural!" and then she blushed violently.

VENEZUELAN WOMAN. llrrT'. n.xanr. In Caracas French fashions pre dominate, and Hie ladles appear on on the street in the latest Parisian mode, from the' plumes and ribbons upon their hats to the high-heeled shoes on their dainty lit tie feet. The women of Venezuela may bo divided into two classes those who a re served and those who serve. The lives of the former are simple, and tliey do not bother t heir heads about woman's rights nor enter into political strife. One may justly ask, then, what do these ladies do? The answer Is t hey live. So does the house plant of the llg tree in the court-yard. What more can be required of them ? The cabal leio expects work from neither wife nor daughter. His house is tilled witli servants, and his wife is treated as some beautiful thing we might say as a clock or some handsome piece of furniture. The house Is her domain, where she may rule as she pleases, and paraita has little to say. Thecara quenan beauties titter behind the curtains of the Iron-barred, balconied window as the unhappy swain is com pelled to promenade on the sidewalk and watch for an opportunity to get a word or a look from his object of ado ration. Mamaita occupies herself witli embroidery or directs her ser vants, and when her daughters desire to go for a walk she must accompany them, for they are not alluwed to go on the street alone. Life among the lowly is different. The woman are free to come and go as they please. The costume consists of an embroidered chemise, cut ex tremely low in the neck, and a flounced skirt of calico. A girl of this adorns her heck with a string of beads and allows her hair to hang down her back, generally in two braids. She carries herself with dignity; and her long scarf-like shawl, usually of gay colors, which she throws gracefully over her head or allow to fall upon her shoulders, gives iter a picturcsqe effect. II ES NO PACK MULE. lloiilsliuiu Press. An exchange came to us last week with a blue mark around nn editorial booming a ciudidate for office. A printed slip pasted to the paper kindly requested us if we said any thing about the candidate's candidacy to send him a marked copy of the paper. We didn't do it. We ain't going to do it. We ain't saying a word. We ain't going to say a word. Unless The cash is in sight. And we can see the smiling of the Goddess of Liberty on one side of the dollar of our dad's and count the tail feathers in the great American eagle on the oilier. In times past we have given col limns of paper and reams of paper and great gobs of ink in a political campaign. And what did we get in return ? Nothing our the privilegeof wading in the mud behind the band wagon and spilling coal nil on our only coat and getting shut on the tio with a Iloman candle. Iiut times have changed and our feelings have changed. Everything has changed except our pockets. There is no changed there. We arc a Democrat, but we ain't no pack mule to carry no candidates int office and get the cold shoulder, And perhaps the cold mutton aflt the election. Our enthusiasm is gone. It has leaked through the holes i our elbows and escaped through the apertures in our punts. Glory is good thing, but cold cash is bet ter. Campaign thunder will no longer reverberate throughout these columns execptat so much per thunder. The above arc the sentiments of the Dkmociiat-Stak. JOl'IlXALISTIC ENTERPRISE IN' ARIZONA. During the last six months the Kieker has purchased a new paper- cutter, two fonts of job type, a can of blue Ink and $10 worth of pink paper for poster work, and not a word of boasting lias appeared in these col unins. A little thing happened the other day, however, which wo want to brag about, and which we think equals anything In the way of New York 01 Chicago enterprise. At two o'clock in the aftcrnoou Colonel Joe Smith sent us word by messenger that we were a slouch editor and must stop his paper. Our mule was out at pas ture, a mile away, and our guns need ed cleaning. It was twelve miles as the crow flies tj the Colonel's ranch and yet at half past three o'clock we were there. The fusilade between us lasted ten minutes. It took five in in utcs more to get the Colonel to sub scribe for three extra copies to send East and four or five to water our mule and tighten tho saddie girths. At exactly five o'clock we were down at the Kicker oftlcc and booking the new subscriptions. Thus, In three hours wc cleaned two guns, ran a mile after our mule, rode twenty-five miles and had n tight lasting ten minutes, We don't admit that this is the best we can do, but until some other crit ter beats It wo shall rest easy.

The small boy had a restless, happy look, as he approached young man who was calling on sister. tsn the bis 'I wouldn't tell anybody but you about it," lie said, coiitldeutlally. 'About what?" "About what's happened to nie. Iiut I thought you might help me." "In what way y "Doyou remember that little bit of a gold watch my sister had ?"' "Yes." "I was fooling with it, and sister was coming, and 1 put it in my mouth to keep her from seeing it, and the first thing I knew I swallowed it." "How long ago?" "Tills very afternoon.
