BO\AN ZAS IN BEEF. . FORT U)\IES MADE IN SHIPPING TEXAS CATTL E NORTHWARD TO FEED. ‘1 txlunsns and Nebraska Farmers Buying . Hundreds of Thousands and Profiting ‘ny Their Purchases—~Enormous Ship- mi'nts. _ Central and Western Kansas are ex- periencing a revival of the. cattle in- dustry thatIis almost equal to that of . the famous craze of a third of a cen— tury ,ago, when the ranges of this part of the state were covered with' the herds that came up from the plains of Texas. In this instance the herds are not coming by the slow method of driving over the cattle trails, but are hurried by the latest improved stock cars in special trains, and reach the feed yards fresh from the ranges of the Southwest. The rush for cattle be— gan about a year ago, and is now at its The herds that are shipped into this state and Nebraska are bought for so eagerly that it is almost impos- sible to keep them long in the yards. The farmers take them at prices that were two years ago thought beyond the possibilities, and the banks in many instances loan more on them than the same stock would have sold for at that time. The great cause of this craze has been the high price for beef and the large amount of corn and . feed that has been produced on the plains, and has been worth a small price. .Wlien corn sold for 10c to 120 the farmers saw how they could do bet- ter than that by handling cattle and selling the grain in beef, and they be- gan to ask for feeders. The supply was forthcoming, and it has so far kept up with the demand. While Texas has furnished the larger amount of this feeding stock, there has a great portion come from New Mexico, and the reports that have come from the ranges from time to time that the young stock was getting thinned out has not had any effect on the ship- ments. The men who have made the most money out of the business have been the shippers, and next to them those who have bought the young stock and rough fed them for a while, and then turned them offwithout feeding them much grain. The shippers have bought the cattle on the range, and retailed them to the farmers, who are so eager to get them that they will willingly pay a large price for the stock. They have, made it so profitable for the ship- pers that they have in most instances cleared $1 to $5 a head, this making a very nice piofit foz a. few days’ hand- ling ofn trai :1 load of stock. I But Kansas is not getting all the cat- tle that are coming from the herds of the Southwest. Thousands of car'loads are going through to the stations of Nebraska, where they are to be fed on the corn that has in some places been stored for two years, awaiting a fav- orable time for the marketing of the crop. The statistics of the state just given out say that the farmers in every county of Nebraska report that they are buying largely of the Texas stock”, and that there will be no shortage of the cattle in that state. This is the first year that the feeding business with the range cattle of the far South- west has been tried extensively, and the outcome is being watched closely. Should there be a fall in prices and a hard winter there will be heavy losses, but it is not likely that any such calamity will come as that of the great cattle craze of the early 705,-zwhen the cattle trail days were ending. In 1871 about 600,000 head of cattle were driven north over the trails to Kansas, and as there came just then a scare in regard to the danger of eat- ing Texas beef and the prices fell off in the Eastern markets, a large por- tion of them were put on the range to wait the turn of the tide. The West- ern Kansas plains were.covered with them, and without provision for the winter that it was hoped would be mild. In the middle of December came a storm of sleet and high wind, with which the poor cattle drifted until they brought up against the kindly shelter of a creek bank. They died by the thousands, and with them went the ponies and even the cattle herders. Wherever they stopped and lay down the cattle were frozen stiff, and the herd owners found that from one~third to one-half of their possessions were gone. From one railroad station 20,- 000, from another 30,000, and from an- other 50,000 hides, taken from the dead animals, were shipped after the storm. One firm put 3,900 head on the iange, and in the spiing could find but 110 of them. This sort of a loss ruined many of the heaviest dealers, and the cattle trade received a blow from which it has never recovered to experience a re- vival of the old boom. One curious result of the importation of the Texas cattle has been a revival of the love for'I-Ierefords, which were so much in favor a few years ago, and then went out because of the growth of the dairy industry. Now it is de- sired to mark the new cattle with the white faces and to get the beef results, and there is a demand for Herefords that is making the starting of farms for the breeding of fine thoroughbred stock a popular form of investment. ——Corres‘pondent St. Globe-Democrat.

SPANISH SOLDIERS IN CUBA. Mostly Plowboys Conscripted and Seal: m “731 \Vithout Any Tulining. > Many newspapei Wiiteis have re- marked on the youthfulness and ap- paient stupidity of the regulais ll; Cuba. I suppose 75 per cent. of them are under twenty-one and 95 per cent are under twenty-five, says a writei in The Arena. They are mostly plow- boys, freshly caught by the conscrip- tion, and shipped across the seas with out any training or drill ‘whatever Spain has kept her older troops at home to protect herself against the Carlists and the Republicans, who are supposed to be plotting against the Government. These boys are set down far front home, in a strange land, where yel- low fever and smallpox prevail by turns the year round. They are treat- ed with the greatest brutality by theii officers, robbed by the commissaries insufficiently clothed and fed, shot down from ambush by enemies whom they cannot see and cannot catch, anc are paid irregularly or not at all. Can such soldiers be expected to prove effi- cient? I have seen a whole company crying like children because one of their num- ber had received a letter from home, and the rest were homesick. I have seen a Major General in the Spanish Army lash a private over his face and head with a whip, because the man did not notice his approach and failed to salute him quickly enough. I have seen half a dozen of these soldiers scrambling on the floor of a coffee. house for a few coppers contemptuous- ly thrown to them by an American cor- respondent. Are these the proud sold- iers of Spain, the descendants of the foot soldiery that were the terror of Europe a few centuries ago? The Minister’s Blessing.

Much of the horse hair used in this country comes from far-away Siberia, and is taken from horses used by the Cossacks after the animals have out- lived their usefulness.

A ml 111111 at. the Veteia'n Siiowman' 3 Own‘ Game, Advertising. One of the elephants with the Bar- num— —Bailey circus was the means of making th'e fortune that Mr. Bailey is credited with possessing. It wasns a baby phenomenon that pachyderm did the good turn for the successor of “The Great and Only Barnum." It was away back in 1880, when the news got around that the first elephant born in captivity was living and trav- eling with the Bailey shew. Mr. Bai- ley was a struggling young circus own-I er then, battling againsil-fearful odds. Baiuum was at the height of his 1e- markable career—at the very topmost notch of circus fame. Mr. Barnum, quick to see the advan- 1 tags of having so important an at- traction as a real American baby ele- pliant, telegraphed to Mr. Bailey as follows: “Will give you $100. 000 £01 your baby elephant. Must have it. " Mr. Bailey wired in answer: not sell at any price." This seemed a daring thing for Mr. Bailey to do, for $100,000 would almost have purchased the entire show. Even Mr. Bailey's best friends, whom he con- sulted in the matter, advised him to accept the offer. Instead of doing that he refused it and hustled East with his circus to meet Barnum on his own ground. By the time that the Bailey circus reached the East the whole country was billed with posters on which was printed “What Barnum Thinks of the Baby Elephant." Underneath that heading was printed Barnum’s tele- gram to Mr. Bailey. 'As the Bailey show followed in the wake of the Bar- num circus each town in which the Barnum aggregation appeared was bill- ed with the Bailey posters. Probably the Bailey advertising did not affect the attendance at the Bar- num circus. But the advertisements staring the veteran showman in the face everywhere he went worried him, and finally, to dodge the huge posters, he changed the route of his circus, al- though that route had been determined upon nearly twelve months in advance. He jumped from New Y k to Kansas City and surrendered th Whole East- ern field to the Bailey Show. The next year the two shows were consolidated, and have been one show ever since. Mr. Barnum's one joke with Mr.’ Bailey as long as the shrewd old circus manager was alive was, “Well, have you any more baby elephants that you do not want to sell?”——New York Press. “Will EARLY, REFRIGERATION. Different Methods Given of the Early Blanner of Freezing. The most ancient method of making ice is practiced in India. Holes are made in the ground, dry straw is put at the bottom of these, and on it, at the close of the day, are placed pans of water which are left until the next 'morn-ing, when the ice that is found within the pans is collected. This in- dustry is carried. on only in districts where the ground is dry and will read- ily absorb the vapor given off from the water in the pans, The freezing, of course, is due to the great amount of heat absorbed by the vapor in passing from ltd liquid to its gaseous form. Another process was practiced in the day of ancient Rome, when the wealthy are 'said to have had their wines cooled by having the bottles placed in water into which saltpeter was thrown, the'bottles being the while rotated. ' Dr. Cullen. in 1755, discovered that the evaporation of water could befa- cllitated by the removal of the pressure of atmosphere, and that by doing this, water could be frozen. Nairn, in 1777, discovered that sulphuric acid would absorb the vapor of water if placed in a second vessel separate from that con- taining the water, but connected with it. This discoveryhe put to use in 1810 by constyucting an apparatus for absorbing the vapor of the water that it was desired to cool or freeze. This apparatus greatly facilitated the freez- ing operations of a vacuum freezing machine.—Cassier’s Magazine. AN sccsNTRic column He Annually legd 1; Boom and Stayed in Bed for‘l‘hroe Months.

Sir Walter Scott’s father, who was an elder of the Church, and of course zealous for King George and the Gov- ernment, once received day after-day a mysterious visitor on legal. business, who came much muffled 1p and stayed till a. late hour. Mrs. Scott, Sir Wal- ter’s mother, was eager to know who this stranger was, but her husband al- ways gave evasive replies to her ques- tions. One evening, however, she ‘at-, tained h-er end by penetrating to her husband’s room with a-tray, and per- suading the client to take, tea. Mr. Scott was perceptibly angry, and would not join them. After the stranger 'had gone, Mr. Scott took up the cup that that he had used, and, carrying it to the windows tossed ‘it out upon the pavement. “I can forgive your little curiosity, madam,” he said, “but you must pay the penalty. I may admit into my house on a piece of business persons wholly unworthy to be treat- ed as guests by my wife. Neither lip of me nor of mine comes after Mr. Murray of Broughton’s.” The 'mys- terious visitor was once Prince Charles Stuai t’s secretary, and had traitorous- 1y borne evidence against his mastei. Sir Walter Scott preserved the Brough- ton saucer with reverence, in 110nm of his father. WAR CAUSED BY, A SINGLE WORD. The Lack of (lne I‘VEt Cetera” Incensed the King of Sweden. In 1654 a Polish nobleman became obnoxious to the laws of his country by reason of a crime. He fled to Swe- den, says London Answers, whereupon John Cassimir, king of Poland, wrote to Charles Gustavus, king of Sweden, demanding the extradition of the criminal. The king of Sweden, on reading the dispatch, noticed that his own name and titles were followed by two vet cot-eras, while the name of the king of Poland was followed by three. 'The missing et cetera so enraged the king of Sweden that he at once de- clared war against Poland. This war was carried on with great bitterness until 1660, when a peace was signed at Oliva, near Dantzig. A contempor- ary writer, Kochowsky, poured out his lamen-tations on the war in these terms: “Ho-w dear has this et cetera been to us! With how many lives have these two potentates paid for these missing eight letters! With what streams of blood has the failure of a few drops of ink been avenged!” In article three of the treaty it was explicitly laid down that the custom of shortening titles by “et ceteraticn” should still hold good, but for the future each of the two parties should give the other three etrceteras. The Bet: Was 011'. - The Electrical Review tells an amus- ing telephone story of a certain Chi- cago lady named Brown. One morn- ing recently she proceeded from the breakfast table to the telephone in the hall closet to order things from her market man. “Hello!” said Mrs. Brown. the Oakland market?” “Yes.” “Well, this is Mrs. “Is this Brown’s resi- dence. Will you please send me a large, thick, juicy steak by four ”o’clock?” The boy employed in the Oakland market happened to answer the tele- phone, and promptly responded: “Well, you just bet your sweet life I will I” “Do you know, sir, to whom you are speaking?” indignantly inquired Mrs. Brown. “Sure, I do,” said the boy. Jenny, Mrs. Brown’s cook.” “Yo-u are mistaken, young man. You are speaking with Mrs. Brown herself.” “Is that so?” replied the boy. “Then in that case, madam, we’ll call the bet of'.” “You’re “'lien the War Really Ended. Many people think Appomattox marked the end of the war, asSumter did its beginning. As a matter of fact, the war did not end oflicially until August 20, 1866, when President John- son issued a proclamation announcing that war was at an end, and that pea‘ce, order and tranquility and civil authority existed in all the States. While Lee’s surrender was not the end of the war, it was the beginning of the end. Johnson surrendered on April 26, “Dick” Taylor on May 4, and Kirby Smith not until May.26. On May 13, more than a month after Lee’s surren— der, a sharp fight took place at Pal- mettto ranch, in Texas, which is called by Jefferson Davis and other authori- ties the last battle of the war. —New York World. 1 .

The most wonderful cave in the world is in the island of Tonga. in the South Pacific. Byron called it “a chapel of the seas.” It is formed in a rock that is almost surrounded by the ocean. This lock is about sixty feet high, and broad proportionately. Many years ago a boy, the son of a native chief, was chasing a huge turtle, when his game seemed to sink into the rock. The lad watched and waited un- til the tide fell, disclosing a small opening in the rock about six feet un- der low water mark. ,, Diving boldly the young hunter en- tered the aperture, and, to his surprise, came to the surface inside the rock. The rock was hollow, and its interior was found afterward, when, the na- tives explored it with torches, to con- tain many beautiful stalacites.
