Soaring An Ok WITH A TOW CAT-
An intelligent young farmer Of Onon-
daga county, New York, recently went
ont to try thrce-yoke team Of siears.
The night steer in the middle yoke lay
down right in front Of Mr.. Jones house,
and nothing which could at first be de
vsed WIS of any use at all. All the ap-
plicationcs with which the agrlcuItu-
raj interests aIc already familiar were
exhaustiyely experimental with upon
that steer. Mr.. Jones himself came to
help. and between them they got the
steer out of the yoke, 50 that he should
not tanglc himself, bat he only lay
down the hatter for all that lie be
came as flat as a comic newspaper.
"Confound him, said the lrate owner,
I'D like to drag cat across hlm.
The very thing" exclaimed the neigh
borlv Jones. I've got the biggest cat
YOU ever saw" In less than few MN
utes Jones was back from his house.
bringing with him 4 large fine looking
i DOllliS CAT, wei hbONh w -
powerful and cultivated voice Of more
than unusual compass and unsurpassed
Gmjre. The eat was put on at The ShouI.
dcrs Of the steer aud drawn steadily
and carefully backward and downward.
The steer kicked some, but he did not
get up, although the cat seemed to
know very well what he was put there
for. Again the cat was planted well
forward and drawn aft, but the steer
paid him no manner Of attention, and
this or something else aroused the
wrath ofthe cat, for, just as he was
putting in his claws for the third drag,
he gave tonguc-if that's fair word
for it-ir his best and loudest music.
Tie effect was marvellous and will be
of great value. for the steer not only
sprang to his feet with unexpected agll-
itv. but his tail was as stiff as his horns
rs he dashed wildly away homeward.
No trouble at all with him since that,
for at any signs of balk you have
only to begin vocal imitation of that
tomcat, and the strength Of the yoke
and chain is tested instantly.

TnE SLATER OF JLA FIsK.-A report
er Of New York Journal pail visit
to Sing Sing prison recently, and was
conducted through that institution by
the resident physician there. Referring
to Ell. 5. Stokes, the slayer Of Col. Jim
Fisk, Jr., the doctor said: "Visitors
rarely recognize him, from the fact that
there is no convict in the prison who
takes more plius TO avoid the gaze
Of visitors, and yet be never shrlnks
from the performance Of any work or
errand that he may be sent on. On my
taking charge OF the hospital few
weeks ago, / found him located in the
upper ward, room 20 by 40 feet IN
size. There he sleeps on the ordinary
prison bed, at such times as he is not
compelled to doze in chair. lie is
victim of asthma in it, worst form.

~ ter of Southern California, and more
especially that most favored section called
Santa Barbara, becomes known 10 the world,
it is not surprising that II widespread and

to furnish perfectly reliable information on all
points of interest to tourists, invalids and
home-seekers, which we are now able TO do
with greatly increased facilities.
While the PRESS seeks to promote the
prosperity of all Southern California by all le-
Ultimate and honorable methods, it is more
directly interested in the growth and coming
greatness OF Santa Barbara. The unequaled
loneliness of the climate, its almost incredible
healthfulness, the beauty of the scenery, the
wondrous variety and fertility of the soil, the
almost unlimited range of products which
flourish there without irrigation, will be
known from time to time by facts which cam
not be controverted, in the columns of the
