this plow was about 500 years old.

A plow used by the Emperor Joseph

eide q modern pillow in portion of the
Austrian department of the Vie nna ex-

nations. No better proof could be
given Of the great advance in the i'm
provement OF plows which has marked
the 100 years which have elasped since
his imperial roajeety worried himself
and mother earth with that plow. This
venerable plow was composed of the

CATTLE IN CENTRAL AFRICA. Tho
Boris eff Central Africa own immense
herds of cattle, but will suffer pro-
longed abstinence from meat rather
than sacrifice one of their animals for
the sake Of its flesh. The sustenance
which they derive from their herds is
limited to milk from the COWS, blood
from the bullocks, and steaks cut from
the hump and hind-quarters Of living
cattle. Both cows and oxen are bied
periodically, and the blood thus OBJ.
tanned is made into dish resembling
the black-pudding eaten throughout
Europe. Bruce describes, in his Afri-
can travels, cruel operation which he
once Witnessed, by whicha steak was
cut from the hind-quarters of o COW
driven by the natives. The Baris are
in the habit of praoticing vivisection
upon their cattle, removing the lump
which grows upon their backs, and
which is the most delicate portion
of the beeve. After each removal
o new limp grows again. Thus the
operation may be several times repeated
upon the same creature, and thereby
it's owner enjoys an occasional. feast of
juicy steak, and still retain living
spring to draw from.

English Literateurs Refusing Royal
Patronage.

M. d. Conway writes to tho Cincin-

some people in high places may pres
emily begin to realize that there is such
thing ns ''the Republic of Letters"
A little timo ago MIR. Ruskin refused to
receive from her maiesty's hands gold
medal, offered for his service to English
architecture and now we have Thomas
Carlyle declining the Grand Gross of
the Bath, and Alfred Tennyson baron
otoy, both in one day. The queen was
indignant at Ruskin's refusal of the
medal, but what will she say to Carlyle,
whUfn Bus -unCg ttSKeu TO Hee and did
see, or to her Laureate? She will feel
particularly sore about Carlyle, sus
pect, because he accepted the order OF
civil merit from the King of Prussia,
but now refuses, n decoration from his
own sovereign. It is very probable.
indeed, that the Bath Gross was offered
to Carlyle by the queen because she felt
uneasy that her German friends should
think she could not recognize the abil-
ity they, had honored. If 80, the mat.
ter stands worse than it did before.
The fact is, it was not au easy matter to
obtain Carlyle's consent to the German
decoration, though that was not sham.
1t was an order founded by frederic
the Great. But the Grand Gross of the
Bath belongs to those who regard the
sovereign as the "fountain of honor
which Carlyle does not it is the dec.
Grafton of "sham aristocracy" with
the symbols of the great. The Lau-
reate's refusal of further royal pa:ron-
age is more unexpected, but will not be
the less welcome to his truest friends.
Whatever may be said of the partic-
ular opinions of the veteran CARLYLE,
none can fail to recognize that he has
shamed out of existence the ancient
snobbery and servility of literary men.

there were 80 persons employed, besides

to the fact of the existence of over 5000

The heads are imported, but the NOV
able limbs and bodies are cut, carved
and put together by the dwellers of the
mountains, many of whom follow other
occupations. Thus, in Judenbach, I saw
whole families, old aud young, male and
female, engaged in the interesting occu-
patton Of making wooden dolls.
The smallest children would have
some simple operation to do, such as .cut
ting or saving the wood into proper
length, and older children would be able
to cut out the limbs in the rough, the OIL
der members would do the finer work
and fix all the anatomical parts together.
When the children are sent out to guard
the cows or the sheep they take wood
with them and simple knife and return
home at night with quite stock of legs
and arms.

SOME excitement was created at Robin
sons Opera-house on Friday and Sunday
evenings by rnmor of the insecurity O
the building. The gallery it seems
dropped down several inches, and it was
thought by those present that there Was
danger of its falling.
A STAR reporter called at the office
this morning, but was not permitted tt
enter and examine the building. The
persons in attendance, however, assured
him that there was no such danger
as was mentioned, and thai
the crack referred to was simply caused
by the shrinking of the green timber
which was used in its construction, and
that the building was in every way per-
fectly secure.
Chief Megrue, the inspector of inse.
cure buildings, was called on by our re.
porter and said that the rumor had
reached HIM and that he would make an
inspection of the building late this after.
