J. T. Hill. who for many years mecca
engaged in cattle raising in Tens mathe
Indian territory, remarked to a reporter
the other day: “In the early days at “1°

1880, the ranges wereoverrun bybauds
of wild horses. These animals; wen

could outstrip a very fine animal with a
man on his back. I have chased wild
horses 100 times and have become thor-
oughly convinced of the truth of the
English racing saying that the weight of
a stable key will win or lose a race.
NOVEL METHOD or CAI-Tuna. . ,
“In this extremity the Texans used to
resort to a means of capturing'the horses
which is, I believe, exclusively American
It was discovered. I do not know how.
that a blow upon a particular sinew in a

horse's neck. located just above where the -

spine joins the skull. would paralyze the
animal temporarily without doing it any
permanent injury. In those days the
Texans were nearly without exception
fine shots. and at short range could send
a rifle ball with phenomenal accuracy.
The horses could not be approached ex-
cept on foot, and It was impossible to
catch them on horseback. But, not to be
overcome by any such dimculties, the
cowboys discovered a way to capture
them. Taking his rifle. a hunter would
crawl through the thick chaparrni until
within fifty or sixty yards of the horse he
desired to secure. Then, taking careful
aim. he would endeavor to send a bullet
through the top of the neck so as to strike
the sinew. When this was properly done
the horse would fellas if struck by light
ning and remain insensible for ten'orifif:
teen minutes. recovering completely inan
hour or two. with no worse injury than a
slight wound in the back of the neck that
soon healed. Of course many bullets wont
astmy and hundreds of horses were killed,
but a good shot would secure about one
horse in three that he attempted to.
'crease.’ as this mode of capture. was
called. _
“The large calibre rifles commonly in
use were not adapted to this peculiar mode
of hunting. as if they touched the sinew
they were sure to break It. and the
wounds the 44 or 52 calibre balls inflicted
were too severe The weapon universally
employed in creasing mustangs was the

old Hawkins rifle. which carried a bullet ~

not much larger than a pea. had aset
trigger and required but a small charge of
powder. These weapons were wonder
fully accurate up to 100 yards. but in
fllcted a trifling wound. and the bullet
was likely to take a course through soft
flesh around any hard object. instead of
tearing through it. as a larger ball pro-

pelled by a heavier charge of powder

would do. Hundreds of mustangs. aI
' ways the best animals in the herd. used
to be crossed every year, and this prac-
tice was kept up until the herds had en
tiroly disappeared
NOT or nucn USE.

"Some of the horses thus secured were
very tough and fleet animals, but few
were of any practical use. Nearly all
were stallions. as a wild mare that was
good for anything was seldom seen. and
the captured horses were nearly. without
exception. irreclaimably vicious. even
when‘judged from the Texas standpoint.
Even when broken to the saddle they
could only be ridden by the very best
horsemen. and were always on the look-
out to do their riders an injury Strange
to say. they seldom tried to. kick. but a
man had to be continually on the lookout
for their fore feet and moth. They only
used their hind feet when a man was
about to mount. but nearly every one of
them hadatrlck of kicking forward as
soon as the rider put his feet In the stir-
rup. and unless he was wary he would re
celve a terrible blow on the leg.

Goad Health and Work.

There are many persons in the world
whose only capital is health. They are
engaged in work of various kinds. and so
long as health lasts they earn a good liv-
ing. They must learn how to avoid‘ill-
ness by living in the right way. There
are others who have lived wrongly in
youth. but have found out their errors in
time to have a fairly good constitution
left. These may live to a ripe old age.
healthfuily, if they only take care. There
are still others with everything that
riches can give; these must learn to live
rightly. too. if they want to be well.
Plain food. exercise. etc.. will enable these
to live long. as they are not troubled by
the necessity of work so that they may
live. Wealth comes not from. our in-
come. but from the amount we save of It;
so health comes not frOm the amount we
have to go on with. but from the amount
we save. by not spending it on trifles
which waste our strength and give us no
return—Dr. Allison. .

Granville. 0.. and moved to the Quaker
City in 1885 in' 1843 his attention was
called to the daguerrcotype. He at once
gave up all other enterprises. and was
soon established as the leading daguerre

from all over the world, and founded es
tablishments in New York. Boston. St.

guerreotype he ever took was taken on
silver and was a view from one of the

was on exhibition at the Centennial. and
is now In possession of The Philadelphia

’ ‘ Beware or the gout.

Dr. Moria H. Henry. of this city. who
has given the subject special attention
and devoted considerable time to its
study, has written a paper on "The lufiu-
ence of Diet in the Development of Non-
hereditary Gout." and he comes to this
conclusion. “There can be no doubt that
the errors In diet and the tendency to
over eating. In this country. is leading to
the development of gout in a large class
of our population. It is now a mere ques~
tion of time when the gouty diathesis
shall be manifested here as fully and as
fretIuently as in other countries where it'
has prevailed for centuries.”—Home Jour-

Medicines Made More Palstable.
Thereiisagrest deal of meaning in the
wonderful increase of patent medicines which
has occurred in the past year. Without ex-
ception they all are intended to be E-pleesant
oftasteor‘ odor. Asadruggist I have ob-
servedacom'ple'te revolution in the use of

”drugs, and the popularity of patent medi-

cines is in a measure due to the endeavor to
escape from the old custom of (giving nasty
doses. The doctors have recognized this
natural human desire, so that the patient of
today has a for easier task than the patient
of twenty years ago whose sickness was
rendered twice as hard to bear by the nau-
seating potions he had to swallow. We .used
to put up quantities, of nasty drugs. which
are no' longer staple, because science has
sought to obtain strength in condensed
forms. '

It was an Old error that a prescription was
not efficacious unless it was distasteful, and
all at us as boys have experienced the pangs
of swallOwing black mixture. caiomel, bitter
root and other disgusting drugs. Very few
physicians now believe in this fallacy. and
the endeavor is to make the lot of the sick as
pleasant as circumstances admit. With cap-
sules and wafers, powders are easily swal-
lowed; with flavors, the bitterest mixture is
palatable. No intelligent physician nowpre-
scribes a bottle of medicine without respect-
ing the feelings of his patient. His aim is to
have the latter take the medicine, and not
throw it away, as used to be done when pills
were as big as marbles and medicines as nau-
seous as poison were prescribed. Small doses
are now the rule, and in this respect the
human aiidjallopaths are coming close
together in the definite amount of doses.
They will meet the patent medicine men on
their own ground. for prescriptions are now
frequently'giv'en as tonics. The tonic form
is the latest in the medical world, and I ex~
pect it to increase in favor. It is far prefer-
able to drink your medicine disguised in aro-
matic wine than in teaspoon doses—Globe-

 

Bablts of the French Bourgeoisie.

It is the middle class that gives the best
example of the average habits of the
nation. And, judging by'the standard. I
should say that we Americans were the
most self indulgent people on the face of,
the earth. I wonder what the wife of a
well to do American shopkeeper in a
small way—a grocer, a dealer in trim-
mings, or a petty retail dry goods mer-
chant—would say to the home of one of
her social equals In Paris. Inthe first
place, carpets are unknown in the little
home, except, perhaps, a square rug inthe
center of the drawing room. Bits of our-
pet, or little cheap rugs at the sides of the
beds. are alonein uSe in the bedrooms.
One Is not known outside of the kitchen;
and possibly the dining room.

in many households tablecloths are not
used except. at dinner time, and knives
and forks are never changed during the
course of s meal. ' one "very curious "in-
stance of economy that came under my
own observation was that practiced by a
dressmaker of good standing. who. by
reason of her exquisite taste and moder-
ate prices. had a large and excellent
American custom. She was a woman of
education and of very gentle and refined
manners. Yet she never were under-
garments of linen or percale. because they
cost ’too (much in the washing, having
every article of that kind’made in dark
flannel. She never sat down to aregu-
larly served meal. but lived on surrepti-
tious snacks, eaten whenever and wher-

. ever she could snatch a‘lnoment’s leisure.

Seeing the Color of Stars.
. This miller of color is one of the great-
est mysteries of sight. We frequently
read that in Arabia, Australia and the
Cape of Good Hope the stars are not only
much brighter than in our misty northern
sky. but they show their different colors
with great splendor. Very few people
here remark much difference, even in the
colors of planets. “Mars," says New-
combo in his “Popular Astronomyl,’ “is
easily recognized when near its apposi-
tion by its fiery red color." I have seen
Mars, of course. all my life, but my eyes
decline to think it fiery red. It istosue
yellow, and onlys. little more so thansofho
of the stars. The silvery radiance Of Venus
Is proverbial, yet if its rays incline atoll
to one of the primary colors. it may be

. said that they are faintly tinged with blue.

People differ much as to the color of fixed
stars. Inever heard any one deny that
Lyra was white, but I have met with
those who declared that Aldebaran was
not a fine red star; not red at 9.11:de, in
short. that in the whole heavens there

waste their .eyes no difference between .-

the color of one star and. another. Bead-
ing over the last two sentences to an ob
server of the stars. he said: "I consider
Venus rather a warm colored star, slightly
yellow._ The bluish tint that you speak
of better describes Lyra. f' ' We then
spoke of Sirius.' “Sirius is about the
same tint as Venus," he continued, "also
rather a warm colored star.” To my eyes
Sirius burns with a. splendid white light.

ting‘it' five tables in one end of the 'ro'Om. . .

With'a view of learning the cause'of this
widespread weakness in the visual organs
of the young men of this generation. the
reporter sought Dr. George 8. Norton, of
the New York Ophthalmic college, a well
known authority upon that subject of
medical practice.

“It is rare that a specialist finds a per
foot eye,” he said. "In nearly every in-
stance some defect is found. The most
common complaints are myopia and hyper-
mytropia. or near and far sightedness, as
they are commonly called. The former is
increasing. but the latter is not, although
the latter is far more prevalent just at
present. The care of the eyes is far more
important than most men realize. The
improper use of eyes which are weak re-
sults in a variety of complaints. It often
causes headaches, depression and some-
times nervous prostration. These can
generally be remedied if not cured by the

use of glasses. In the purchase of glasses ,

the sufierericannot be'ftoo'; careful. The

use ofrglasses that are improperly ad- ' "

justed to the eye is oftentimes more in-
jurious than helpful. Another common
complaint is called astigmatism. which
consists of the irregular curvature of the
cornea. In such cases one part of the eye
may be myopic while the other is hyper
mytroplc. To avoid this, glasses must be
used with lenses specially ground for the
purpo ‘ n ' ' . .'
311's OF GOOD ADVICE.

“How should the eyes be taken care of?"

"That depends entirely upon circum.
stances. Each *man’s eyes differ from
those of his fellow. No two pairs are
alike. Here are a few simple directions
in cases of accident which would be well
follow. When a cinder or any foreign
substance gets into the eye, never rub the
eye. Wait a moment, then ' gently open
and close the lid; the‘tears which follow
this operationwillusually wash out the hi-
truding substance. However. should it
refuse to go. turn up the lid under which
the substance is and remove it with a soft
handkerchief. If the substance becomes
lmbedded in the corner. or eyeball. go to

a physician, immediately. In bathing the '

eyes it makes no material difference. as
has been alleged, whether they are rubbed
toward the nose or from it. It is inju-
dicions. however. to allow water to enter
the eye, as this set may engender disease.
it should neverbe allowed except under
skilled advice. ,Do not use the eyes after
they are tired. They shouldbe rested. if
only for a moment. Avoid: the use of the
eyes while traveling in a railway carriage
or in a. poor light. Do not work with the
head bent low. Use a sloping des‘k when
writing. Never allow the light to shine
in your eyes while working; let it come
over the left shoulder, if possible. If this
cannot be accomplished wear a shade.
Avoid the use of colored glasses unless
under competent advice. except when ex-
posed to bright light. such as the glare of
the sun upon snow or water. Then they
may be used with great benefit. London
smoked glasses, or blue. are the only
colors that should be worn under these
circumstances. Avoid holding a book.

when reading, too near the eye. as the

nearer it is held the greater the strain.
On the other hand, do not hold it far
away. as then the strain is even greater.
Contagion is the most fertile cause of the
spread of external diseases, especially
granular lids. This is most generally the

case in public institutions, where children '

live and sleep together, and often wash
themselves in the same water. Isolation
is the only known method for preventing

the spread of 'this disease ' A normal eye *

should be perfectly strong and not become
easily tired. It should not require the
use of glasses until the age of 40 or 45 has
been reached. By the use of proper glasses
they should remain strong indefinitely.

. A far sighted man requires glasses for

reading much earlier than a man who is
near sighted. When a person does not
need glasses for reading at 50 years of
age it proves conclusively that he must

havebeen near sighted in his youth.—

' butter.

 

Chums and Churning.
Chm-ping is a process that. almost more
than any other in butter making, depends
for being well done on the implement used.
Points of merit in a churn are: First.
The agitation should be of such a char-
acter that the cream is churned by con-
cussion rather than friction. One would

' suppose that the‘ fat globule. protected

for the time being in a. liquid. would stand
agitation of any sort; but when we re-
member that one churu will bring the
butter in five minutes, which would not
come In, thirty minutes in another churn.
we can conceive of it being possible to
over agitate cream in churning. What-
ever may be the effect at. the beginning of
churning. it is without question that when
cream begins to “break" and butter to
"form." the character of the agitation
may be such as to injure the grain of the
It is the experience-of butter
makers that some churns destroy the grain
and make the butter greasy. Another
question is settled. It is not the slow
churns which injure the grain of butter.
but the quick churns. The slow churns
are the chufns without inside fixtures;
the quick churns are the churns with
dashers.

Second. A churn should give its con-
tents uniform agitation. The cream should
be churned all alike and the butter come
as near as possible at the same time.
This is important for quantity as well as
quality of butter. When all the cream is
agitated alike, more of the cream is
churned without some of it being .Over
churned. When butter all comes at the
same time there is less waste of butter in
buttermilk in draining or washing. The
chum which, meets this condition. is, in
the opinion of many. a churn without
dasllcrs.

Ease of working is a very important es-
sential in a churn. It was the hard work
of churning that brought into favor the
quick churns that have spoiled so much
butter. The movable body churns are
doubtless the easier churns to’ work of the
two classes. Among these the revolving
churn, if rightly constructed. is easier
:llan the oscillating churn. especially for

; large quantities.

Ventilation is essential in a. churn.
When cream is first subjected to agita-
tion, especially if it be at all sour, it

, evolves gas. This gas should be allowed

to escape; both' for sake of easy churning
and quality of butter. With the old dash
churn the ventilation was easy—through
aloose and open cover. The revolving
chum. which bears off the palm in per-
haps all other respects, is the weakest of
all at this point. To prevent loss‘ of
cream it must needs be well closed up.
it is necessary. when using a revolving
churn. when not otherwise provided for.
to stop occasionally. pull out the stopple
or plug and let the gas escape. This is
done frequently in the beginning of the
process. Afterward it is not so necessary.
Some churns have patented arrangements
for this purpoe.

Children in a Hotel. .

like wild birds in a cage. deprived Of their
right to fly and swoop and skim the air
and to swell their throats almost to burst-

ters. instead of singing. and grows dis.
beveled and dirty and unlovely, and the
caged child grows weedy and pallid and

German Universities.

Twenty-six thousand nine hundred and
forty-five students have attended the
twenty universities of Germany during
the winter session which has just closed.
At Berlin there were 5,478. at Munich
3,414. and at Leipsic 3,288. Bonn is
seventh. with 1,119 students, and Heidel~
berg is only thirteenth, with 832. Rostock
comes last. with 340. Only 1,644 of the
students were foreigners. 0f the Whole,
8,735 students belong to the philosophical
faculty. 6.650 to the medical, 5,791 to the
theological, and 5,769 to the juristic.

A Novel Scarf Pin.

A novel design was shown to a reporter
by a manufacturer. which took the form
of a skull mounted upon the top of a stout
pin and connected therewith by a. fine gold
chain. The wearer, by gently pulling the
chain. causes the lower jaw of the skull
to drop. while two small diamond eyes
fall into thesockets, thus giving the ob-
server an inclination to feel uneasy by Its
ghastly appearance. These pins are ex-
pensive, the price depending entirely upon
the size of the diamond used—New York

Washington Cos-responder)“.

. The correspondents, as a rule. are high
toned gentlemen. and a corruptionist
would sooner think of approaching a con.
gressman with bribes than them. Many
of them receive salaries as large as those
of the congressmen. and the only great
difference in the two positions is that the
correspondent is here as long as he does
good work. and the congressman’s head
goes off. as a rule. at the end Of two or
four years. ‘

The trade inbirds for women’s hats was
so enormous last ear that a single Lon-

At one auction in one week there were
sold 6.000 birds of paradise, 5,000 Impeyan
pheasants. 400,000 humming birds, and
other birds from North and South Amer-
ica, and 300,000 feathered skins from
