HISTORIC JERSEY. correct Likeness of the Grentest Sire wi Butter Cows. The achievements of the great St, Lambert Jerscy family cannot be pul tefore dairymen too often. Those fortu pate evough to have animals of this plood may congratulate themselves, We give herewith a picturo of the greatest sire of butter cows that ever lived. He is Exile of St. Lambert. Ex- jle’s dam was Allie of St. Lambert, a foll sister of Ida of St. Lambert. His sire was Bachelor of St. Lambert. One of Exile’s daughters tested 82 pounds 7 eances of butter in seven days. Of the fsmous old bull Mr. A. D. Baker, presi- dent of the New York State Dairymen’s iavion, seid some time since: He is a grand type of a Jersey bull, weighing about 1,600 pounds, and J FXILE OF ST. LAMBERT. gould like to describe him as he ap- veared tome. He has a stylish head, dished face, broad between the eyes, large, prominent eyes, & golden skin, soft, yet thick and pliable, covered with a good coat of hair, remarkably deep cheat, great breadth, strong loins and stands well upon huis iegs. considering his age and honors. Although nearly 12 years old, yet with his enormons strength and vigor he is still in active duty. His wonderful power of transmit- ting to his descendants his own likeness is trniy remarkable, as his sons and daughters can be readily picked out ip any herd of Jerseys. While lcoking at him I thought: “What a recerd! Forty-nine tested daughters avd 16 granddaughters, and more to hear from!'’ More of lis sms have gone to head herds than any other one bull’s, to say nothing about hisdaughters, 2nd to the Jersey world hispame will always be famous as a aire of butter preducers. After viewing the young heifers in milk I saw in the tam a row of 25 cf Exile’s daugh- tts—troly a magnificent sight to any lover of Jersey cattle. Co-operative Lutter Making. Newry South Wales is divided into three parts—-the coast, the center and the west. Wheat is raised in the central and western parts anc sheep in the west. On the coast we raise corn and butter. The soil is so rich and the climate so moist that wheat rusts badly with us. Gar butter making is done almost fntirely on a co-operative plan. The farmers in each section buy a separator together. Then they send the cream to large creameries which are in various parts of the country, where there are appliances for making ice and for stor- supped to Sydney, the cxpital, and ere it is put on sale at a fixed price— Weents is the lowest it ever gets at wholesalc in summer.

The deg refused to be sworn. a sort of Quakertike simplicity and only afirmed, but its testimony was suffi- cient to decide a case in Justice Mar- | tin’s courtroom. The animal was a large, stately and intelligent Irish setter. After the hn- man litigants had each told his tale, the dog took the witness stand. ‘*Now, who is your master?’’ said E. D. Loy, who had replevined the dog from Fred Enderlin, a South Side saloon keeper, on June 26. The brute barked, sprang out of the witness chair and pawed at the feet of Loy. The animal then went through various performances at the bidding of Loy, including running across the street and back at his command. The dog would not act for the other litigant, and the court decided that he belonged to Loy. The animal was then released from the custody of Constable Roebuck. He wagged his tail at the judge and left the courtroom with his master.—Chi- cago News.

Matthew Buckinger, a German who many years ago exhibited himself in London, had neither arms nor legs, but nevertheless managed to write a good hand, very clear and round, by holding the pen between the stump of his right arm and his cheek. It is a strange fact that the right hand, which is more sensible to the touch than the left, is less sensible than the latter to the effect of heat or cold.

An Ancient and Curious German Wed- ding Custom, In The Ladies’ Home Journal Max von Binzer writes of his experience as “‘A Page at the Berlin Court’’ upon the ceecasion of a double royal wedding and ef the preceding and succeeding festivi- ; ties. Describing an ancient and curious custom, he writes: ‘‘And now—after the wedding, dinner and ball—came the ‘Fackeltanz.’ Several of the highest officials entered the hall with fisming torches, A procession was formed, with the bride in the midst. A number of complicated polonaise figures were then executed, after which the line closed about the bride and groom and marche‘ out as escort to the bridal chambers. ‘*‘As the doors of the bridat apart- ments closed upon the happy pair we found ourselves immediately next the entratice. We waited expectantly for the next feature, holding our advantageous position with some difficulty. In a few moments the doors flew open, and half a thousand silken garters, with the mon- ograms embossed on the gold buckles, were thrown out by the ladies of honor. Court etiquette was for the nonce for- gotten. Generals, courtiers, chamber- lains and state ministers scrambled and fought with one another for these me- mentos. But we pages, rest assured, got the lion’s share.

Some of the Queer Characters That Haunt the City Streets, There is scarcely a neighborhood in Londen which cannot boast of its lecal madman. Some strange or eccentric fig- ure is to be found in every parish and in almost every important thoroughfare. Marylebone has a religious maniac who is by profession a collector of rags aud bones. South Kensington a short time ago possessed two madmen—one who imag- ined himself to be Napoleon and walked slowly backward and forward, gravely saluting every one he met, and another who firmly believed himself to be Hen- ry Vill. It is said that on one occasion be accosted a famous physician and in- structed him to get him a divorce from Anne Boleyn. ‘‘If you can’t manage it any other way,’’ he said, ‘‘off wita Ler head, off with her head!’’ A man in Brompton would hail a cab and drive to a certain street in Chelsea. There he would wander up and down for hours looking in vain for a house which had been pulled to pieces nearly 20 years before, it had evidently been associated with some important crisis in his life’s history, and his mind re- fused io dissociate itself from the spot. Atone time there came forth every evening from across Westminster bridge, walkiog along Whitehall to the Strand, amen wearing a long overcoat with a cape, a soft hat and leggings. He hada buuch of primroses or yellow flowers of some kind in his buttonhole and an- other in his hat. He carried a pipe and strode along with bent head and with one hand behind his back. He ignored every one, looked neither to the right nor the Jeft and walked always at the same rate. Eyery now and then he would suddenly throw up his hands and shout in a deep yoice, ‘‘Here’s to the Jacobites all over Englandl!’’ Then he would march on as before, and people who turned in alarm would see nothing but an eccentric looking figure, going steadily in the direction of the Strand. —Pearson’s Magazine. LINCOLN AT SCHOOL. A Schoolmate of the President Tells ef Kis Early Life. Mr. George H. Yenowine contributes a paper on ‘*The Birthplace of Lincoln”’ to St. Nicholas. Mr. Yenowine quotes the following from an old man named Austin Gollaher, who went to schooi with the emancipator: ‘‘ Lincoln was an unusually bright boy, and he made good progress in his books—better than al- most any one else in school—and he studied very hard, although he was young. He would get spice wood bushes and hack them up on a log and puta few of them in the fire at a time to make a light for him to read his books . by. It did not make a very good light, but it was all he had at night. Young Lincoln was never good locking. He was angular and awkward. His mother was a rathcr slim woman of medium height. Tom Lincoln, his father, waa tall. Abe was not very much like him, for Tom Lincoln had a fuller face and was of a heavier build.’’ In answer to a question as to Lin- coln’s brothers or sisters, the old man brightened up and said: *‘Oh, yes, be had a sister. Her name was Sally, and she was about my age. That was one reason why I thought so much of Abe. But when the Lincolns moved to In- diana I did not say goodby to either of them. “TI next heard of Lincoln severai years afterward. It was said that he would make rails durirg the sununer and thus earn money to go to school. Then I heard no more of Lincoln until he was nominated for president. I told the boys that no matter what happened Iwas going to vote for Abe. I said l was going to vote for him if it was the last act of my life, because I had plyyed with him when a boy, and I was giad he had gone up in the world, and I did vote for him!’’ said the old man. Her Tribute to Lucy Stone. Mrs. Mary E. Holmes, the faithfal and efficient president of the Illinois Equal Suffrage association, has been obliged by domestic cares and duties to resign her official position. She will be greatly missed, but will continue to advise and plan for the cause. In a pri- vate letter she writcg: ‘*If dear Lucy Stone was on the earth, I should explain to her first of all why I have resigned my state position. She was and is my inspiration and god- mother in suffrage work. She was such a good wife and mother that I feel sure she would tell me to do my duty to the home before any other. I hope I can re- turn to the work at some future time, but now heart and brain must be given to the home and home interests. I shall still do what little I cau for our beloved cause and shall watch the battle with great interest.”’ — Try a mince, lemon or app’e pie tonight LT ; 33 7 . and buy it at the Eciipse Bakery.
