SWIMMING CATTLE.
Gross Western Rivers.
Two Days Sometimes Consumed in Get-
ting the Cattle Across — A Task
That Calls for Great Skill In
the Cowboys.
Many of the cattle shipped to the
Chicago market are bred in Texas, and.
having remained there two years, are
driven to Montana and there fed on
the ranges for two more years. ~
. They bring a better market price by
this method, as the short curly grass of
Montana is most nutritious, and that,
combined with the more northern cli-
mate, makes better beef. From the
Pan Handle of Texas, where begins the
great range of Farwell &. Taylor.
stretching away for two hundred and
twenty-five miles. to their other range
in Montana, sixty miles north of the
Yellowstone, is eleven hundred miles.
and this distance is traveled by the
great herds from May to August. The
route passes through Colorado, Wyo-
ming and Montana, and twelve to fif-
teen miles are made daily. The driest
portion of the trail is found in Colo-
rado. Herds have been driven a. dis-
tance of eighty miles without water
and with the loss of but a. few; then
when water is reached care must be
. taken to prevent overcrowding and
crushing. Three large streams are
the Yellowstone, the most dangerous
of all. being the Yellowstone, with its
swift current. and uncertain and
changeable bottom.
Usually no greater number than
forty-five hundred are driven in one
herd, and the swimming of one of this
size across the Yellowstone is no easy
task; two days are som‘etimes con-
sumed, with the constant attention of
fifteen to twenty cow boys, the number
allotted to such a. herd. At times the
cattle will readily take to the water,
entering a few at a time and following;
the spare horses of the cowboys thatf
dangering their lives. Then the cow-
boy must swim out with his pony and”
stop this “milling” process. He takes
great risk, and it sometimes happens
that one is drowned. At the Yellow-Y
peared in the water and 1 ere never
seen alive; it was thought that he had
forgotten to loosen thcs saddle-girth,
thus impairing the 321.1131’5 power to
swim. Another was t irown over the
head of his horse and only by great ex“
ertion prevented the animal, which
had turned on its side. from drowning;
Strange as it seems, horses and mules
will attempt suicide by drowning. At
the Yellowstone river, use is made of
. several islands, and this year the cross-
cattle tool: to the water readily, swam
easily and landed on the islandsf
then, ’ by a little urging, made
for the other bank and reached
it about one mile below the startin
point. They presented the appear-
ance of a large fish-hook, the curve
being near the landing point; twot’o
five weie abreast, there was no crowd-
ing, and but a few swam back to the
near bank. Some few mired in the
soft bank, and before extricatin‘g
themselves one had lost its life through
over-exertion. In this herd were steers.
A “cow and calf” herd is troublesome
in the exti eme, each cow looking out
for her calf and all bellowing at the
top of their voices; s‘ome turn back and
cause a rush to the rear, and all must
be stai ted again. When the cattle get
in this restless and stubborn mood
about swimming the cowboys sing to
them in a low, plaintive manner,
which has a quieting' effect; this is
also done on stormy nights when a
stampede is feared. The cattle swim
much better when the sun is in their
rear, and the crossing is always so
timed.
It seems strange that these southi
ern-reared cattle can endure the seé
vere Montana winters. where the ther4
mometer drops to forty and fifty de-
grees below zero; but they do endure
the cold, succumbing, hOWever, to the
spring blizzards when they are in the
worst condition to battle with the
storms. -——Collier’ 5 Weekly.
THE MAGUEY PLANT. ‘;
Some of the Uses of the Century Cactus
in Mexico.
Of all the products of Mexico none is
more curious and interesting than the
maguey or so-called century plant. 011
the {great plains outside the City of
Mexico thousands of acres are covered
with magueys planted in long rows at
regular intervals. The uses of the
maguey are manifold. The leaves are
used for thatching ythe’houses of the
poor; the spike at the end of the leaf
furnishes, with the fiber attached to it,
a needle and thread ready for use; pa-'
per is made from the pulp, and twine
from the fiber, and the wood is em-
ployed in many ways. But most im-
portant of all is pulque. the national
drink of Mexico. This is made by fer-
menting the juice of the Agave Ameri-
, cana. or maguey. Enormous quantities
of pulque are drunk; a train laden with
the liquor leaving Apam daily for the
Citynof Mexico. Most of the crimes
committed by the natives are to be at-
tributed to over—indulgence‘in pulque,
or some of its kindred products. To
an untrained taste it is not a very pre-
possessing drink. It looks like milk
and water, and smells like rancid meat.
But it is said to be Wholesome, the
Mexican attributing as many virtues
to it as the scotchman does to whisky.
The Agave Americana. the juice of
which on fermentation yields pulque,
also produces mescal, a strong alco-
holic spirit distilled from its root.
The sugar cane yields by distillation
a strong intoxicant to which the ap-
propriate name of aguardiente (burn-
ing water) is given. w-Arthur Inkers-
ley, in Chautauquan.

, GIIABDED BY INSECTS. _ .,
Golden Sands hat Are Inaoces-
’ ~ sible Because of Mosquitoes.
A River inseam America. in Which Lies 3
Much Precious Ore, But Miners Can-
not Withstand the Poison-
‘ ous Insects.
Gold inplenty may be found 'in' the
sands of the Volador river. a stream of
moderate volume that falls from the
Snow line of the Sierra de Santa Marta
in South America, but though the low-
land region and the river bed where.
the precious metal abounds in fabur
lous quantities Ere easily accessible,
:the mosquitoes are so thickand ter-
rible there that all attempts to rifle
the sands of their gold have so far
failed.
Elisee Reclus, the celebrated French
_ geographer, was the first to explore
the plain about the Volador’s mouth.
He had thought of establishing“ an -
agricultural c010ny in the fertile low-
lands, but found the plague of insects
so unbearable that he- was forced to
beat a retreat and abandon his proj-
ect.
He was the discoverer of this won-
derful stream, whose waters sweep
over sands which are literally golden.
He told the news to the French vice
consul at Rio Hacha, and this ofiicial '
obtained the concession of this Eldo-
rado. The dangers he was to en~
counter he knew perfectly well. He
took with him when he set out an in-
geniously constructed gauze tent of ,
large dimensions.
For two days he tried to live under
its shelter and watch the operations
of his workmen, who toiled in the
stifling heat, clothed in ‘, thick gar-
ments, and protected by heavy boots,
gloves and veils. At the end of the
second day, however, both employer
and employes gave up the struggle
and retreated.
The next to try to wring fortune
from these auriferous sands was an
Italian, who obtained permission from
The Italian laughed
at the idea of'mosquitoes driving any-
one away from a place where gold
could be picked up almost by the hand-
ful. He started out with a. party of
six, who shared with him his belief,
and so they took along no special pro-
tection against the insects. They en-
dured for less than half an hour the
awful torture, and then left. They
found their way back to Rio Hacha.
with difl'iculty, for the eyes of five were
so badly swollen that they were blind.
Yet there are human beings who can
venture with impunity into this gold
mine whose guardian demons are mos~
quitoes, and these are some of the sav-
age natives of the mountains from
whose rocky steeps t e river falls. ,
These savages, w ‘o are mosquito
proof, are rendered so by their bodies
being covered with the, scales of lep-
rosy. Strange to say, the mosquitoes
will not touch them. Butneither gold
nor the fascination of civilization will
tempt them to labor.
It' is an old and true saying that one
might as well try to get along without
furs 1n the Aretic regions as without.
mosquito nets in the tropics. Mos-
quito nets seem to have been of little
avail, however, in the instances re-
lated. The insects are said to have
been most unusually venomous and
they come in such myraids that they
have the appearance of a mist hanging
over the waters of the river. The in-
tense pain and action of the poison on
the system speedily drive the strongest
mad. —~Pearson’s Weekly.

They Were. Provided for {I the London
Gabby by an English Peeress.
Among the many philanthropies of the
late Lady Charlotte Schrieber, of Eng-
land, was the providing of comforters
or mufflers for cabmen. Her interest in
the London “cabby” was unflagging.
and she secured several important ben-
efits for him, but her comforters have
come to be traditional. They were al-
ways of scarlet wool and were knit of
uniform size and style. The Queen re-
cently printed the directions for their
making, which were sent by Lady
Charlotte’s daughter: " \
Double fleecy wool. Cast on, twenty-
four stitches on needles No. it on the
bell gauge. Knit one plain row—first
row. Knit two, slip one, putting the
wool forward as if to purl, knit one,
slip one, knit one, etc., until you come
to the last two, which ’amust always be
slipped, as the first two of every row
must always be knitted—second row.
Knit the first stitch in . the usual way;
the second and other knitted stitches
are to be knitted with the wool twice
around the needle; these stitches in
the following rows are just to be
slipped off and not made into two
stitches; the only. reason for twisting
tWice is that the stitches may be
longer. You continue this until you
have knitted a. piece two yards long.
Then you do‘ one row the sameas the
first row, without putting the wool
twice around the needle. and then cast
off. A fringe should be put at each
end. This' is double knitting, and care
'should be taken not to jom it in any
way, particularly by slipping in the
plain instead of the purl way.
These ,warm neck and shoulder cov-
erings were supplied by the score to
the fraternity of hansom and four-
wheeler drivers, the kind-hearted peer-
ess keeping her stock always equal to
the often serious demands upon it. —N.
