THE COWBOY'S DAY IS OVER.

Re Is _No Longer in Evidence Out in the
. Far West. * .‘3

The cowboy, like the buffalo, is fast
becoming extinct, says Lippincott’s
Magazine. In the dawn of the new cen-
tury now approaching he will‘ be re-
garded as a curiosity. Then years
hence he will have attained the dignity

of tradition. History, which embalms .

the man in armor and exalts the pio-
neer, holds a. place for him. The niche
may be a modest one, but he has his
part in conquering a new country and
no impartial record of western evolu-

tion can omit his picturesque figure.

Before civilization devours his dignity,
let us try to detain it a moment in its
real likeness and garb.

Dwellers in the long-settled commu-
nities scarcely realize how great a
change has come over the far west”
during the last decade. Ranches there
will always be—ranches for grain, hay,
fruit and blooded live stock- but not
for the rearing of range cattle. Yet
the time is in easy memory when there
was a. uncover the cattle business;
when the cowboy was king at Dodge
City; when hundreds of educated young
men went west to share the hardships
of herders. To-day the cattle ranches
are deserted or mortgaged or turned
into farms. A more advanced intelli-
gence has penetrated the possibilities
of irrigation and water is reclaiming
the wilderness once given over to the
long-horn steer. '

The decline of the range cattle indus-
try has been as amazing and rapid as
was its rise. The business is not simply
suffering from stagnation; it has almost
ceased to exist. Early in the ’805 a
beef steer running. on the range repre-
sented forty dollars; one-fourth that
sum would pay for him now. Thirty
dollars was the average for a. cow with
a. calf at her side; now whole herds are
disposed of for six dollars a head.

EATING MEAT RAW.

A Curious Habit Said to Be Increasing in
London.

The well-known favor with which
Englishmen regard undordone beef
brings to notice a curious habit which
is said by the New York Advertiser
to be on the increase in London, that
of eating meat raw, or nearly so. The
habit started from a belief that it was
conducive to health.

Of late years there has been a great
run on the gravy'or juice expressed
from raw beef by the latter being
squeezed into pulp; but, quite apart
from this, many regular customers buy
the finest cuts with a special view to
eating the latter raw, each customer
having an earnest belief that he bene-
fits in health from the practice. In

most cases it is more than a. matter of

health than of actual taste. There are
two remarkable points about raw meat
eating, one of them being that a great
many butchers themselves constantly
cut prime bits of and chew them.

The other point is that a great many
people, who do not at home eat in a. raw
state the meat that they buy, judge the
quality when buying by. chewing a bit
of raw meat, just as they might taste of
butter or cheese. A celebrated London
barrister eats quantities of the best
steak finely minced with salad, and in a
great many other cases the meat is cut
into very slim shreds and made
into sandwiches, with seasoning added.
Restaurant-keepers say'that the chief
call is for meat very much underdone,
but there are great numbers of faddy
people who eat meat absolutely raw.

BIG CATTLE I-IORNS.

The Greatest Pair in the Country Believed '

to Be Owned in New York.

In the office of a down~town whole-
sale dealer in horns and tips, says the
New York Sun. there is a pair of South
American cattle horns that measure,
following the horns, nine feet from tip
to tip. It is believed to be the biggest
pair of horns in the country. There
may be others of wider spread than
these, for those curve forward some-
what as well as outward and upward,
but none of so great length. There are
other noble pairs of horns in the same
office. For the great pair the dealer
has more than once received an offer of
seventy-five dollars.

Cattle horns are used for the manu-
facture of combs, knife scales, buttons
and other articles, and the tip or solid
part is used for pipe stems, buttons,
jewelry, ball fringes, and so on. Occa-
sionally there is a call for a. pair of
horns for decorative purposes, which
the dealer supplies, and which he has
mounted, if desired. Single pairs of
horns sell at from seventy-five cents to
five dollarsapair, according to their
size and beauty; the mounting may
cost a dollar and ahalf to three dollars.

Costly Chicken Diet.

Recently J. E. Thurmond, a wealthy
farmer, who lives between Louisiana
and Bowling Green, Mo., on removing
the “sparkly" 1mm his shirt bosom'
placed it in s .=:c keeping on the mantle,
but on seeking it a little while after-
ward the costly jewel had taken flight.
No person had seen it, and diligent in‘
quiry failed to connect anyone with its
sudden disappearance; but it finally
occurred to Mr. Thurmond that per-
haps a pet chicken which had the en-
tree to the house was the thief, but

how to connect it with the robbery V

other than by resorting to the ax blade
was beyond his reach. His decision
was soon made up that the chicken
should pay the penalty, and like many
others that have taken the same route
to thc fowls’ paradise, off went the
head. After a careful post mortem, to
the astonishment of those present, on
splitting open the gizzard the gem vvas
found firmly encysted in that organ.

 

Male and Female Vanity.

Woman and the mirror have long
been the subject matter of fun by the
column, but if the, dear creature can
beat her brother she is most remarka-
ble. The radiant, bemirrored elevator
is responsible for this. It takes but the
most ,superficial observer to note that
nine out of ten men who ride in the
elevators take agpeep. into the reflect-
ing glasses, give the mustache a twist,
push back a lock or two of hair or shake
out coat .lapels.

INSECTS AND- CO'NTAGION.

That Cari Be 'Done Even by
a Gnat's Sting. ' ,
It is generally understood that the
stings of some insects are essentially
poisonous in a greater or less degree,
and must therefore be early and care-

The Damage

fully tréated. Pain alone in such cases .

will suffice for a danger signal, and few

when thus warned would care to ’

neglect the puncture made by a hornet,
a. wasp, or even a bee. The fact that
other insects, like some species of fly,

are capable of equal or even greater

mischief, says the London Lancet, is not
so commonly known as it ought to be.
The recent death of a woman at Kings-
ton from septic erysipelas thus caused
may be quoted in illustration. In ac‘
counting for such occurrences two
points are specially noteworthy—name-
ly, the condition of health of the per-
son attackcd and the previous habitat
of the assailant. .

In no case, probably is it possible to
define exactly the influence exercised
by each of these contributing factors.
This much we know, however, that no
matter how trivial or how great the ef-
fect of the conveyed poison, it is much
enhanced by all conditions of weak-
ness or blood impurity existing in the
sufferer. A mere midge or gnat bite in
one person will prove almost as serious
in its effect as a septic wound in an-
other. There are in the system all the
material for a confiagration, and a
spark might light it up as well as a fire-
brand. The habits Of insects afford a.
clcw to the seeming vagary of their oc-
casional and accidental virulence. The
sting of the mandibles, which perhaps

I are buried an hour previous in some

putrid sore, excreta or offal, cannot
penetrate a. living tissue without leav-
in g in it something of the same putrid
character. It is safer, therefore, for a
medica practitioner to regard each and
every injury of this kind, however
slight, as a possible source of illness,
and at once to contrive its relief by
poulticing antiseptic compresses or like
means.

USES FOR COCOAN UT.

Florida Has Several Promising Planta-
tions of This Tropical Fruit.

Quite a number of tropical nuts have
recently been introduced into cultiva-
tion in this country. Already on the
east coast of Florida are growing two
hundred and fifty-thousand cocoanut
trees, forty-two thousand being in one
plantation. It is believed that the first
trees of this kind in that state sprouted
from the nuts brought from Central
America and the West Indies by the
gulf stream. At Key West and about
some of the old forts cocoanuts were
planted at an early day, as certain
ancient trees now standing bear wit-
ness. In 1877 a. bark freighted with
cocoanuts was caught in a. storm ofi
the coast of ‘Florida and beached near
Lake Worth. Several thousand of
the nuts were saved and planted, the
satisfactory growth of the seedlings
giving an impetus to cultivation.

The word cocoanut is derived from
the Portugese “coco,” meaning monkey,
because the base resembles a monkey’s
face. The tree was known to the peo-
ple of Ceylon as early as 160 B. 0., the
milk being used by them for making
cement. The cocoanut is one of the
most useful of plants—root, trunk, leaf,
sap and nut are made to yield tribute
to man. The fiber of the husk furnishes
excellent yarn, and is preferred to
horsehair for stuffing beds, cushions,
chairs and saddles. It is stronger and
more elastic than hemp. The Poly-
nesians twist small cords of this fiber,
which serve in the, construction of
houses and canoes where Europeans
would employ nails. The green nuts
are grated for medicinal use. Grated
cocoanut forms an ingredient of the
East Indian condiment curry. In the
Maldive islands labor is usually paid
for in cocoanuts.

TURNING HOUSES INTO GOLD.

Deserted Buildings Were Made of Ore and
Are Now Smelted.

Among the greatest mines of Arizona.
was the Vulture, now the property of
H. A. W. Tabor. It is fifteen miles
southwest of Wickcnburg, whence the
ores were taken by wagons to be milled
on the bank of the l-Iassayampa. ‘

The mine produced over ten million
dollars in gold, and the richest ore was
found on the surface. Of course, in the
early days 'nothing save the best was
milled, and in the great waste dumps
around the mine was found the build-
ing material fer the town of Vulture.

The mine worked on for a score of
years without varying fortune, the
town maintatning a. large population,
when the pipe line from the Hassayam-
pa. was washed away by the flood that
followed the breaking Of the Walnut
Grove dam, the one-hundred stamp
mill was closed down and the camp
was deserted. '

Three' years ago T. E. Ij‘arish secured
a. two-years’ lease of the property, fit-
ted up ten of the stamps, put in a. gas-
oline engine, got his water out of the
mine and started to “cayoting” On the
lower levels. Near the end of his lease
he ran out of really good ore.

In this extremity, says the Denver
Republican, he bethought himself of
the scores of tenantless houses. Every-
one was constructed of free milling
iron oxide gold ore, and specimens
chipped from the corners assayed an
average of twenty dollars to the ton.
Thclast three months his stamp mill
ran solely upon building material,
much to the profit of. its owner.

 

Painted Skulls in Austria.

A strange custom, dating back to the
dark ages, has survived in some of ‘the
mountain districts
painting of skulls. The small Size of
most cemeteries in those regions makes
it necessary to regularly remove the
skeletons of the buried who have lain
there eight or ten years. to make room
for newcomers. The relatives of the
dead thus to be exhumed are generally

notified before the removal, so that ~

they can attend to the cleaning of the
skeleton and be present at its deposit
in the so—called “bone-house”, or ' “char-
nel—house.” On such occasions the skull
is often ornamented, with paintings,
representing rosaries, wreaths, snakes.

FROM FIELD AND FOREST.

A panther weighing 150 pounds was
killed in Butler county, Mo., recently.

A 13-year-old boy shot a. 200-pound
bear near Cato, Pa., the other day.

English hares were introduced into

Burlington county, N. J ., a. few years '

ago by Pierre Lorillard, and they have
multiplied rapidly. A large number of
fine hares have been shot there this
year. ' _ ‘

Wild geese are very plentiful in many
parts of northern California this fall.
It was estimated that fully 5,000 were
killed in Glenn county in about ten days
toward the end of November.

Fifteen cents apiece is all. that the
plumpest partridges are worth, deliv-
ered at the hotels, in many parts of
Maine, in this exceptional year for
game in that state. -

Venison is now selling for two cents
a pound in Michigamme,Mich:,butjudg-
ing from the wholesale slaughter of
deer now going on in the forests of that
sect-ion there will not be any venison at
all in the markets of Michigammcnext
year. ,

There is good hunting in Kentucky
this fall. A party of hunters returned to
Jessamine a few days ago with 15 deer,
18 wild turkeys, and a lot of smaller
game. Another party from Versailles
killed 18 deer, a bear, and a. wagon load
of turkeys. . .

The Connecticut fish and game com-
missioners have decided not to place
fry in the rivers. The fry will be kept
in the retaining ponds, the shad until
they are three or four inches long, and
salmon until they are six to eight
inches long—two years old.

The latest oddity in queerly colored
game brought out of the Maine woods
is a deer with a. polka-dot hide. The
ground color of the hair is almost snow
white, and the whole body is dotted
with spots or blotches of red hair. The
appearance of the animal is said to have
been notably pretty as well as odd.

A hundered skins of does and baby
fawns were seized on a steamer in San
Francisco recently. The skins had
come from Oregon. Many of the fawn
skins were less than two feet in length.
It. is against the law. of Oregon to kill
deer for their hides, or to kill fawns at
any time, and it is against the law of
California for any person to possess the
skins of does and fawns. ‘

MUSIC AND THE STAGE.

Paul Bourget is writing a. one-act

Augustus Harris. The following year
his retainer will be $8,750.

Saint Sirens will not appear again in
public as a pianist. He gave up prac-
ticing two year§ ago for. lack of time.
He says that in him "the' composer has
killed the pianist.”

Luigi Ardiii, the "11 Bacio” Arditi
who conducted Italian opera at Castle
Garden in 1850, before becoming the
leader at Covent Garden, has written
his reminiscences, which will be edited
by Baroness ven Zedlitz and published
soon. ,

M. Lugne Poe is going to try a new
form of theatrical entertainment in
Paris this winter. It is a. guignol or
puppet show, in which living actors
will take the part of the puppets and
make the gestures, while the text is
recited by the showman. The living
guignol has been given with success
at Lyons, where the puppet show orig-
inated. _

Charlotte Wolter, the great Viennese
tragedienne, who is now 61 years old,

MINES AND MINING.

Lower California is being explored2

 

 

' for copper.

There are only two mica mines in
Bengal, and their output is steadily de-

A tale or Soapstone mine has been
found at Sims station, on Hazel creek,
Shasta~ county, Cal. . .

The, “natural soap” mine, near Elko,
Ken, is to be opened up, and the prod-

In the Southwestern part of Oregon,
at Granite Pass and Medford, the placer
mines are being worked with much suc-
cess.

Both soft and hard coal were discov-

Saco, Mo., and the people of that region
are expecting great developments.

An important strike on the Red
mountain, two miles northwest of
Cripple Creck,is announced. The strike
is in a vein of ore carrying sylvanite.

Forty acres of phosphate land, near
Fitzgerald,Hernando county, Fla..,have
