speaking in the geneizI *acceptance of the
term.The seat point`, fasto provide good
pasturage, not ;clover alone, yet the result
may beguile satisfactiny if it is red clover.
But pastures of white clover or alsike have
been condemned -by observing batter makers
as renderingthe cream produced difficult to
convert into butter. In its growing state
there is more flesh and milk producing ele-
ments in a pound of timothy than in a pound -
of clover, and the former is more the natur-
al food, of the domestic animals than is the
latter.
Fresh, pure water is another very impor-
tant requirement. While cows will, and
do, drink stagnant water with apparent
relish, -yet too often it is a matter of com-
pulsion. At all times, and more especially
in warm weather, they should have free ac-
cess to water, and not wait for the attend-
ant to pump it night and morning. During
the heated term they may be observed go-
ing to the creek several times a day, and no
domestic animal will drink a greater quan-
tity of water than a milch cow. During
July, August, and September, when flies are
troublesome, cows should not be kept in a
dry, open yardat night. During the heat
of the day they spend. a large portion of their
time in the shade, o: are so tormented by
flies that they do not eat as much food as
they need. If the cow pasture is visited any
moonlight night following a hot day the
herd will be found busily eating often until
near midnight. This means an increased
flow of milk. Another important matter
concerning this night pasturage is the more
even distribution of the increment, the liquid
portion of which is all certainly lost if they
are confined in a yard during the night. If
they are kept from 8 in the morning until 4
in the afternoon during hot days in a dark-
ened stable with a supply of green, succulent
food at noon it would be better than yarding
at night. This will cause more work, but
it will`pey well in the increased production
of milk, says the " American Agriculturist."
Salting is another important matter. The
true way is to have a supply of salt before
them at all times. If barrel salt is used it
may be placed in a box in the pasture and
covered to keep out the rain. Better yet
is to place a piece of rock salt at some place
in the pasture, where they may obtain a
supply by licking it off as they may need
and not be obliged to eat it as they, do when
given them in a finer state and at unequal
intervals, or when you happen to think of
it, as practiced by nearly all farmers.
Change of pasture, as frequently as every
two weeks, is -important. Any pasture be-
comes badly contaminated by the feet of
the cattle, and the -droppings and the her-
bage is not inviting for the stock to nibble
at. When the pasture is in this condition
they travel over the entire area every day
to find some inviting place to feed. Instead
of giving cows the range of two or three
fields at once, confine them in one, even if
you change them every two or three days.
Do not pasture sheep or horses with them,
for reasons not necessary to here enumerate.
See strictly to it that the cows are quietly
dr;ven to and from the pasture. Have regu-
lar hours for milking, and try and divide
the time into twelve ho,irs each, especially
in June, when the production of milk is the
greatest. Treat them kindly and in such a
manner that they will come at the calling.

British flag ; whereas they invest almost to
an equal extent in mines in foreign coun-
tries. They have •a complete monopoly of
the quicksilver mines of the world ; and
they actually regulate the supply so as to
obtain the highest price that is compatible
with the necessities of commerce. On the
whole, however, the Rothschilds are oppos-
ed to monopolies and rings: They prefer
to live and let live, and to take only their
fair share of what is to be got in the open
market. They give no countenance to un-
derhandor secret combinations. This was
strikingly exemplified in the case of the
Union General, a great French banking
scheme which aimed at nothing leas than
the monopoly of the finance of all the Catho-
lics in the world. It was entirely got up by
Jews, but was so skillfully done that mast
of the leading Catholics of Europe fell into
the trap and believed it was a Catholic af-
fair. The pope not only gave it his sanction,
but invested a large amount of papal funds
init. The Austrian emperor and his family
took stock in it to the extent of 1,000,000
pounds sterling. The Comte de Chambord
and the other Bourbons did the same. The
Rothschilds were offered an opportunity of
joining at an early stage on very profitable
terms, and there is little doubt if they had
joined, the project would have succeeded.
But they positively refused to have any-
thing to do with it and privately warned all
their friends and clients againstit.. The re-
sult was a disastrous failure and a loss of
$50,000,000. If the old Rothschilds had
ognized that English Jews were in ever not opposed it as promptly and emphatical-

little dirt1 as y money out ofat,tried toyet knot
committing themselves openly to it, the loss
would probably have been ten times as great
as it was, and the consequences would have
been felt all over the world.
Sometimes sentiment enters into the
Rothschilds' business affairs, as when they
withdrew altogether from dealing in Rus-
sian loans as a mark of their indignation at
the barbarous treatment of the Jews by
the Czar's government. That withdrawal
doubtless cost the Rothschilds a good deal ;
for Russia pays high rates of interest and
has never made default.* But it inflicted
such a blow on Russia that the finances of
that country have been in confusion ever
since.
It must be said for the Rothschilds that
they are always on the side of enlighten-
ment and progress. In politics in England
they have been advanced Liberals ever
since they I:ad influence at all ; and when,
in 1886, Mr. Gladstone broke up the Liber-
al party by Ins home rule bill, the whole
family went with John Bright, Lord Hart-
ington, Mr. Cnamberlain, and the others
who are now called Liberal Unionists. They
are stanch supporters of the empire and
warmly attached to the royal family, and
they enjoy the personal friendship of tha
Queen and the Prince of Wales.
The Rothschilds are very much alike in
appearance, and are unmistakably Jewish
looking. They are of exactly the same
type, in fact, as thousands of Jewish bank-
ers and merchants who may be seen any day
in the streets of New York, and having
nothing in common with the romantic
Oriental type depicted by Disraeli in his
novels and exemplified to some extent him-
self. They are short and stout, with black
hair,dark complexion, large nose, and thick
lips and though their physique is already
improved ed
p by outdoor exercise and country
life, it will take some generations yet to
make them resemble their Anglo-Saxon fel-
low countrymen. Lord Rothschild's only
daughter married the . Earl. of Rosenburg,
and the probability is that other mixed mar-
riages will follow, until the Rothschilds,
like the Disraelis and others, will loose
their Jewish identity and became absorbed
into the English stock. - However that may
be, it is certain that so long as they retain
their family characteristics and their
countless wealth, they will never cease to
exercise an appreciable influence on the
affairs of their country and of the world.

LONDON, C4Efli 1#. -There are so maty
Rothschilds; and they are So mach alike in
many respects, that the individuality of
each is to some extent Iost, and in England,
at least, they are spoken of more as a family
than as separate personages. They form, in
fact, a most singular group of men and ex-
ercise a - vast weight in politics and society
as well as in finance.
It is a curious thing that there are fewer
Jews in England than in any other country
in Europe, though they enjoy more perfect
equality there than in any other. Until
forty years ago, indeed, they remained
under certain political disabilities, ler the
reason that they could not conscientiously
take the oaths which then were necessary
for admission to certain public positions.
But for many years before the Jewish dis-
abilities were abolished by special act of
Parliament, public opinion had entirely con-
demned them, and social sentiment had
ignored them. The late Baron Lionel Roths-
child was four times elected member of the
House of Commons for the city of London,
one of the most distinguished positions an
Englishman can occupy, before he was able
to speak or vote. He sat " without the
bar " for some sixteen years, a silent wit-
ness of gross injustice and a monstrous
absurdity ; and his constituents, the proud-
est commercial community in the world,
preferred to be represented by him in that
humiliating situation rather than by any
one else who could enjoy all the rights and
privileges of a member of Parliament.
On the last occasion when the Jewish
di abilities bill was brought forward, the
Earl of Derby, then leader of the opposition
in the House of Lords, spoke strongly
against it on the ground that Jews were
not fit to sit in a Christian legislature. An
admirable cartoon was published at the
time representing the well-known scene in
Sir Walter Scott's " Ivanhoe," where Isaac
of York seeks to take the hand of the
Knight Templar, Brian de Bois Gilbert. In
the novel, the Templar repels him with
scorn, exclaiming " Back Jew ! I touch not
misbelievers save with the sword !" In the
caricature Lord Derby was represented
saying to Baron Rothschild : " Back Jew !
I touch not misbelievers save with the -
betting book. What will you do about
Blink Bonny ?" Blink Bonny was Lord
Derby's famous mare that won the stakes
in '63, and the allusion was to the well-
known fact of the haughty earl being an
intimate friend of the Jewish banker on the
turf,
The bill was passed into law +hat year,
Baron Rothschild took his seat in the body
of the House of Commons amid cheers and
congratulations from all sides, and the Eng-
lish Jews, than whom the Queen possessed
no more loyal or public-spirited subjects,
entered into the full rights of citizenship.
Long before then, of course, men of
Jewish blood had held all sorts of high
positions. Disraeli had been Chancellor of
the Exchequer and Bernal Osborne had sat
in Parliament for years. But these were
either Christianized Jews, or, at all events,
they had no scruple about taking any kind
of oath that was tendered to them. Baron
Rothschild was the first Jew adhering open-
ly and avowedly to the faith of his fore-
fathers, who was enabled to hold office in
England, and no more creditable repre-
sentative of his people could have been
chosen.
With their legal disabilities, the preju-
dices of other kinds against the Jews rap-
idly disappeared. One of their number, Sir
George Jessel, who has elevated to the
judicial bench, proved one of its noblest
ornaments.
Sir Moses Montefiore, the centenarian
philanthropist, rather honored the rank of
baronet than was honored by it ; and in all
departments of life it soon came to be pec-

men. Now it is difficult to realize that any
doubt on that point, or any feeling on the
subject, existed within the life of middle-
aged people now living.
There was a fear that when Jews were
admitted to perfect equality in England,
they would swarm in from the continent and
dominate the country by their wealth and
their clannishness. That, however, was
totally unfounded. For some reason not
easily explained, Jews have never become
numerous in England.
Moreover, the English Jews have never
shown that tendency to . hold themselves
aloof and remain a peculiar people which
they display elsewhere. On the contrary,
they become thoroughly English in habits
and ideas and in a few generations are
merged by marriage in the general popula-
tion. Even their foreign names pass away
in time or undergo a change into an Erglish
form. This interesting subject is admira-
bly dealt with by Disraeli in " Endymion,"
where in the character of Mr. Neufchatel,
he draws a life -like portrait of Baron Roths-
child, the founder of the most English of all
Jewish families.
Baron Rothschild, though bearing a for-
eign title and presiding over a great Jewish
bank in the city, was essentially an English
country gentleman ; and his sons have taken
after him. He died in 1879, and the family
now consist of his three sons, Nathaniel
Mayer, Lionel, and Leopold, with their
cousin, Baron Ferdinand, son of Aurelius,
head of the house of Rothschild at Vienna,
who is a nr.turalized British subject ani
thoroughly English in all but birth. The
beautiful county of Buckinghamshire seems
to have some special attraction for the gr eat
Jewish families. It was there that Disraeli
made his home, in the romantic manor
house of
Hu fiend n

i is there that
at
the Rothschilds have planted . themselves
as firmly as if they were native to the soil.
The town of Aylesbury is the very centre
of their influence. Nathaniel Mayer Roths-
child was member of the house of Commons
for Aylesbury for twenty years,and when in
1885 he was elected to the House of Lords,
his cousin,Baron Ferdinand, was elected his
successor and still retains the seat. The
several Rothschild estates adjoin one an-
other and cover a large extent of the most
picturesque country in England, and the
noble mansions where they live in princely-
splendor are the most conspicuous objects
in Many a mile of landscape.
Since Nathaniel Mayer was created Lord
Rothschild, the first Jew who ever was
ennobled in England, his branch of the
family have ' dropped their foreign
title of baron and are content to be plain
esquires, like the gentry with whom they
rank ; and when "Baron Rothschild " is
spoken of in England now, it is always
Baron Ferdinand, M. P., for Aylesbury and.
lord of the magnificent estate of. Waddes-
den, that is referred to. Lord Rothschild
lives at Tring Park on the borders of Buck-
inghamshire and Hertfordshire, and is one
of the best landlords and most popular of
country gentlemen. He is a keen sports
man, a master of foxhounds, and like his
father, a noted patron of the turf. He owns
good horses, and runs then to win, and he
shares with the Duke of Beaufort, the Duke
of Westminster, and other men of the high-

could think that the soul while in a mortal
body lives, but when departed out of it dies ;
or that its consciousness is lost when it is
discharged out of an un conscious habitation.
But when it is freed from all corporeal alli-
ance, then it truly exists. Farther, since
the human frame is broken by death, tell
us, what becomes of its parts ? It is visible
whither the materials of other beings are
translated ; namely, to the source from
whence they had their birth. The soul alone.
neither present or departed, is the object
of our eyes. -[Cyrus the Elder.
Friday -
It is not so much what you say
As the manner in which you say its,
It is not so much the language you use
As the tone in which you convey it.
"Come here!" I sharply said,
And the baby cowed and wept ;
"Come here!" Icooed, and he looked and
smiled,
And straight to my lap he crept.
The words may be mi'd and fair,
And the tones may pierce like a dart;
The words may be soft as the summer air,
And the tones may break the heart.
For words but come from the mind,
And grow by study and art ;
But the tones leap forth from the inner self
And reveal the state of the heart.
Whether you know it or not -
Whether you mean it or care -
Gentleness. kindness, love, and hate -
Envy and anger are there.
-[Anonymous.
Saturday -This is my firm persuasion,
that since the human soul exerts itself with
so great activity ; since it has such a re-
membrance of the best, such a concern for
the future ; since it is enriched with so
many arts, sciences, and discoveries, it is
impossible but the Being which contains
all these must be immortal. -[Cato.
Beware of Covetousness.
"But 1 say unto you, beware of covetous-
ness." -Luke xii., 15.
The devout yet humorous Dr. Thomas
Fuller, who served the church of God three
centuries ago, published a series of brief
books containing what he called "Good
Words." These good words were all gath-
ered from the word of God, and were found
suitable to -good times and bad. times, and,
indeed, to all sorts of times. We may
wisely do as he did when times are bright
or dark, when storms are overhead or rain-
bows span the sky. If we turnto our
Bible we shall always find just the "cord
the circumstances of the hour call for. We
have passed through a week of sad and
grave experiences. The sad battle of the
toilers in Pennsylvania has marked the
darkest page in the calendar of the year.
Homes and hearts are desolate to -day on
which the sun shone fair but a week or
two ago. Blood has been shed, . life has
been sacrificed, graves have been dug
What word has the Bible for us to -day.
This one word, "Beware of covetousness."
A young man came to Christ with a perplex-
ing legal difficulty; he wanted Christ to settle
a matter between his brother and himself.
But the Great 1 eacher did much better than
that. He laid down a principle that would
govern all such cases, and if obeyed would
spare such scenes as this week has witness-
ed to the veryend of time
"Beware of
covetousness !" If the evil spirit of covet-
ousness were driven out of the hearts of
men, there -would be no men in this land
boasting of thirty, forty, and fifty millions
of dollars ; nor would there be the abject
poverty that too much abounds, nor would
there be the hard, rough way of walking,
the ceaseless, eternal grind of labor, that
makes life a bnrden, and leads -nen to ask,
sometimes wholly in agony and half in
despair, if Iife is indeed worth living.
Beware of covetousness ! It shuts up the
heart
and seals all the springs of tender
human love, and makes man the robber and
oppressor of his brother man. Beware of
covetousness ! It inflames the passions of

Some SummEr Don'ts
If you go into the country to -day, as you
ought, take this advice with you. If you
can't remember it paste it in your hat.
Don't ask any one to sit in a boat while
you try to learn to row it.
Don't risk any other life than your own
in a sailboat when your only lesson in the
navigating art has come from watching
others.
Don't trust to the courage that comes from
beer. The water never accommodates itself
to the vagaries of muddled ignorance.
Don't change seats in a rowboat when you
are in the middle of a stream.
Don't forget that the woods are refer than
the water for a landsman.
Don't go swimming in a strong undertow
immediately after a hearty dinner.
Don't work too hard for your pleasure.
Don't wear a tall hat or a stiff shirt, or
puff tobacco smoke in the faces of women.
Don't spend the day lapis's ogee Monde)
