The John Bull Progeny.
• An Irish gentleman was entertained
by a party of Englishmen at a hotel in a
Certain town in England, and the con-
versation turned on Irish bid's, and the
Irish gentleman, being a little nettled,
aid- " bulls, what are you
bothering me about laullS for? You
can't talk about an Irishman without
speaking of a bull. You have as many
bulls in England as we. In England
you: are bull-headed, and bull -tempered,
and 'ball -necked ; you are John Bull ;
von are over. Now, you can't
put up a sign on a public house without
sticking up a bull. In the very- street
where we are sitting now, there are six
public houses with signs of bulls."
Oh, no," said one Of the gentlemen`,
"not so many as that." "But I tell
you there are just so many." "No, we
have (taunted them, and we know there
are not six." "Well, I will waster the
dinner for the company In de same
place where we are 'sitting now that
there are six public houses with signs of
bulls on them. "Very let's hear
them." There is the White Bull,
that's one; the Black Bull is two; the
Brown Buil is three iShe Spotted Bull
four:is the Pied Bullis five—" Ah,
that's all, that's all," "No, there's an-
other one." Ah, but we know better."
I tell you there's another one. Black,
white,tbrown, spotted, pied, and there's
the Red Cow. " Ha, ha, that's an
Irish buil." "Very well, if the Red
Cow is an Irish bull, that makes sista
and I've won my wager."
Colorado Agriculture.
Prof. Blount, of the Colorado Agri-
cultural College, Writes to the Country
Gentleman respecting the methods in
use in Colorado agriculture, showing
how much better off farmers are where
it never rains than nthere they depend
upon the clouds for the necessary supply
1 of moisture:
"Farming in Colorado is really a
very different industry from what it is
in rainy sections. The difference arises
from the manner in which the supply of
moisture is furnished and applied. The
eastern farmer depends solely upon, and
thinks he can -raise nothing without
rain, while the farmer in Colorado, who
ca n take water from the natural streams
- and distribute it over his land, wants no
rain—would not have it. With the
former, the elements of nneertainty al-
-Ways exist, and the prospect of failure
constantly confronts him from a want of
sufficient amount of moisture, while
the latter has no such fears nor does he
ever lose a crop if he understands his
Isusiness. He fears no dronth, but re-
joices in the bright sunshine pf a cloud-
less sky, applying moisture when need-
ed, and keeping it off when not needed.
To those who think Colorado is a vast,
iry, sandy and desolate desert, it may
sound strange to say that a drouth is
unknown. But it is even so. Our soil
is never too wet to plow, and never too
alry and hard to turn. Our pastures are
always green, -crops always fresh and
vigorous until the period of maturity
- ripens them.
Although irrigation is a necessity,
it is by no means se expensive as one
would suppose. It is really a blessing
-no other people enjoy, because it places
the making of all crops in the farmers'
own hands, and saves them from all fail-
ure. It also makes every crop an aver-
age crop, and often doubles it.
" While rain in all seetions comes free
to the want of it is a hundred tittles
more expensive than all our great canals,
ditches and means of applying water
artificially to the crops. While our
neighbors on the east suffer untold les-
bians from dry seasons, the farmer here,
with his foot or two of water, makes Ms
aure annual average. In Colorado there
are many streams under whose ilow of
water millions of acres are yet unfenced
and unbought. Although there are now
in the Senateover1,000 miles :of canals,
capable of irrigating over a million and
half acres,the half is not yet surveyed.
In the southern part of the State canals
are being projected that will furnish
land for thousands of families.
- "The amount of water required to
\‘, irrigate 100 acres ten years ago- will now
irrigate double that area, from the faat
'that we have better facilities for distri-
buting -water and applying it. Owing to
the character of the soil, lay of land and
the methods of using it, the cost of
water varies from $1:50 to $3 per acre
mutually. The conclusions reached by
the State engineer are that upon an
avera.ge a cubic foot of water per second
will irrigate a,bout 55 acres. This, how-
ever, appears to be a very small area,
for in some countries a cubic foot will
irrigate 70 or 80 acres."
Signboards.
Vigorous opposition of theliquor deal-
ers to the temperance movement is natu-
ral, and to be expected, for we war
against their pecuniary interests; and if
you touch some men in the pocket you
touch them where they live. Were
these men to exhibit at their places of
besineas a truthful signboard, it would
read = " Delirium tremens,fever, disease,
pauperism,crime, redness of eyenwounds
without cause, rags, wretchedness, des-
• pair an& death, for sale here."
That would be a truthful sign, but it
would injure their business more than
all the temperance organizations in ex-
istence. The liquor seller will not even
set up in his barroom a specimen of his
work; he puts up blinds at the windows
and screens atthe doors, to hide his
-work from the passers-by; but the shoe
maker and the tailor exhibit their work
in their windows, and show what they
have made out of the raw material.
The tailor, when he has finished anew
coat, places it where it may be seen by
the greatest number of enstomers ; when
the shoemaker has finished a first-class
pair of boots he places them in his win-
dow, because the exhibition tends to in-
crease his trade. With the liquor -
seller it is quite different. He is ashamed
of his finished work. With him the raw
material is always worth more than the
finished article. Were he to exhibit
that he would lose his trade. No wonder
he is athamed to exhibit his work.
In the world's great exhibitions you
have seen finished articles of nearly every
manufacture, from a toothpick to aloco
illative, and the exhibitors were anxious
'eo explain the method of manufacture,or
the texture of the woven fabrics. Almost
every conceivable specimen of man's in-
genuity and skill was there represented,
from the raw material to the finished
article. • But there was one specimen of
manufacture absent. I remember, at
the Mechanics' Fair in Boston, many
years, ago, being struck with -this fact,
and on mentioning it to Deacon Moses
Grant, he proposed, to apply to the
managers for permission to exhibit a
specimen of the liquor seller's work. He
knew a man who was once worth $40,000,
who was then debased and ruined
through drink, who agreed for a d.ollar a
day to stand in that fair with a label in
front of him, which read as follows': " I
was once worth $40,000. I was once re
'spected and respectable. I once moved
'in good society. Such things as I am
now are made out of such men as I once
was. Please give us a premium for one
of the best specimens to be found in the
city." But they would not admit him !
The liquor -seller is ashamed of the results
of his infamous trade. A bey was pass-
ing by a liquor shop,and, seeing a drunk-
en roan lying in the gutter in front of
the saloon, knocked at the door, and
said: "Mister, your sign's fell downs"
and the angry liquor -seller chased him
half round the square.
• See the results of this traffic in its true
colors, placed so full and fair before you
that the very youngest cannot err in
their' decision. A liqUor-seller had a
tavern undergoing eepairs. One day a
boy came running to his mother, crying
out, "Mother, mother !" " hat is it,
my boy ?" "Mr. Poole's tavern is finish-
ed, mother." " Istoi:v do you know, my
dear ?" inquired the mother. " Whyal
saw a man come .out drunk !" Now,
that is the legitimate fruit of the dram-
shop.—John B. Gough.

Clara . Belle on Snow Shpes.
This vivacious writer on fashion and
society topics says in the Minneapolis
Tribune:
Every one knows the Story -of the
fashiona,ble woman who was estranged
from her daughter because of the young
woman's appearance while being carried -
by a fireman from her sleeping -room in
a burning "Why, mother,"
said the young woman, "how could I
tell that my ankles Were uncovered at
such a time of excitement?" • "Oh, I
find no fa.ult with that;" said the leader
of fashion; "your ankles are well
enough, so fan as that goes; but you
had on white stockings, which have not
been either fashionable or even permis-
sible in the last five years. I: Never ad-
dress me again, for I shall not acknow-
ledge you as nay child."
Well, I haven't that girl's fault to be
charged against me. I had hosiery of
ultra marine blue when .1 stood on my
head in the snow, but it was most ex-
asperating for all that. I was. spending
a few days in Albany with a dear
friend, the sister of a member of the
Ridgefield Club, and I had put on -snow-
shoes for the first time. Snow shoes,
you know, are an Indian device, and,
like all things Indian,.. are, in my
opinion, no good. They are like bat-
tledores, pear-shaped frames, criss-
crossed svith thongs. Abovei a little hole
in the centre of each you put your foot
and it is. then strapped' to'the netting,
just by the ball of the foot, so that
when you walk the great frames, with
their long, tall sticks, go flip-flop, flip-
flop, in, the most horridly awful fash-
ion. Snow shoes' were made to buoy a
person on the top of deep snow, but the THE
fashionable thing in this age 'of muscle '
culture is to race in them on the slight-
est muse on an inch of snow or the sur-
face of a frozen pond. Girls who go in
for the thing wear moccasins, tennis
stockings, blanket knee breeches, a
blanket skirt and a blanket ulster and
worsted toque or liberty cap. That is
all they put the snow shoes on at all for
—just to wear that picturesque dress,
in which, by the way, the slab-sid.est
rail of a girl looks quite plump and pic-
turesque.
Unforturiately, I was dressed as I am
always outside of doors, in presentable
walking attire. I stood on a rock while
my lady friend strapped the frames to
my toes. All around me was a sea of
snow—deep snow. There were two or
three gentlemen ' at andistance,, waiting
for a run. I had a temporary engage-
ment with a refractory stocking suspen-
der, so I whispered tei my friend,
"Run on, Alice, dear, and Ot those
men away while I fix something. I'll
follow presently." Like a good girl, she
flip-flopped along, the men taking the
signal and leading the way. - Alas! it
was not so cagy to follow with your first
steps in snow shoes. I could not get off
the rock to save me. I was unable in
my tight skirts to step far enough to
make the sticks clear the rock, and
when I tried sitting on -My heels and
sliding I pitched forward. went off the
rock sure enough, but head first, and
with my hands in the deep, soft. snow.
Think of it! snow shoes were four
feet in the air, on the rock, while I was
in snow to my shoUlders,,with my face
buried, and suffocation only a question
of moments.. I knew that if I stirred
matters up in the air would be worse.
The gentlemen came speedily and put
me on my feet, burning with mortifica-
tion.
".We saw your signal's of distress,"
my girl friend whispered, tantaliz-
ingly.
"1 would rather have died thati
been rescued," was all I said; and I
meant it.
If I do say it myself, I am always
plucky. I stuck to those shoes; and
tried to master them. But it was ridic-
• ulous, You :know how a. practiced
snow shoer rather slides than lifts his
feet, and gets -along with -whatever
grace can possibly attach to such a flip-
flopping motion; but a beginner can not
help lifting his or her feet very high;
and the higher you lift them the higher
you must, so as to keep the tail sticks
from digging in. Well, I went about
at the end of the procession flinging my
feet wildly.in the air until I saw my
companion fall in • the, snow and roll
about shaking with some violent emo,
