ty cork is now to be added. Expert
ments made in France with this article
have, it appears, given results both
economical and satisfactory, and the
material is to be made use of for public
illumination, works for burning cork
having already been established.

EDWIN ADAMS is about to appear in
the role of public benefactor. He has
secured number of the barkless dogs OF
Australia and will bring them to this
country. They are not exempt from
hydrophobia, and their morality is
scarcely better than that of the ordinary
canine nuisance, but they are quiet at
night.

N Brilliant Fete at Versailles.

LAST Sunday there was a brilliant
night .fete at Versailles, the fountains
being Illuminated in honor Of the
young Queen Of Greece, who has been
staying in Paris for some days past.
The grounds were thrown open at sew
en o'clock, but it was not till nine that
the cannon announced the arrival OF
the guest of the evening. An immense
crowd had assembled on the lawn IN
front Of the Basin Of Neptune, and
this opening of the festivities was
greeted with loud cheers. Then there
was a pause, and suddenly the great
center let of the main fountain rose
majestically on the air, carrying with
IL a rocket that broke in a rain of fiery
stars. Immediately a food of dazzling
white radiance, from hidden electric
lights, was thrown Oh the Neptune
fountain, which was changed by its
magic into a flashing spray of dia-
monds. Next the light changed to
glowing red, and the diamond foun-
tains turned to flaming rubies, or, to
he less poetic, as an American girl near
me remarked, to immense pyramids Of
glorified strawberry Waterloo Then
the light was changed to green, and the
waters wore the semblance Of molten
emeralds. Next the basins We're COW
cred with serpents Of fire that raced
and Kissed in all directions over the
shining surface of the water, beneath
the intense, unvarying luster of the
electric light. Various pieces of fire
works were set off, but the great spec
tacIe If the evening was, of course, the
illuminated fountains. There We're
over 1000 persons present, and it
was near three o'clock in the morning
before the last Wearied I4easure-seeker
got back to Paris. The heat was very
great, the atmosphere being close,
breathless and oppressive, but 10 rain
fell to mar the perfection of the dis
play, as was the case last year.-P0riS

Remarkable Escape of q Horse

DURING the recent terrible storm in
Richmond there were many narrow
escapes, but nothing half so wonderful
as the escape of a horse which was
given ur for dead. During the storm,
Nh. J. E. Hanger, grocer and commits
sion merchant, left lis horse hitched
to wagon in Shockoe Greek, near
Franklin street. The creek rose rap
idly and the horse was swept away
from the wagon and carried under the
arch. This was the last seen of him,
and Mr.. Hanger mOurned him as lost,
On Saturday he was astonished to dis
cover the animal in the city in possess
ion Of a countryman from below the
city. 1t seems that the horse was
swept under Main street, under two
or three arches, under Shocks ware
house, into the river, and then he
either f1oated or swan down several
miles below the city and landed. He
wandered about the fields during the
entire night, and was caught by the
| farmer. How he survived SO much
water is hard to conceive. The farmer
readily surrendered him. Rich1no71d

Tying Animals in Stables.

IT is good plan TO have animals
securely tied in the barn at any and all
times when it's desirable to have them
fastened there at all. Cattle often in
jure themselves and each other very
seriously when they get loose at night
Or when there is no one around to see
TO them. Cases are not very rare in
which COWS have got TO the barrel and
ate enough meal to kill them, and once
in while We hear of COWS being bad
ly hooked by one which had got I'M
tied in the stable while the others were
fastened. But while it is very impor-
tant that animals should be secured so
that they cannot loosen themselves or
each other, it is also very desirable that
they should be fastened in such a man
ner that their owner can readily unite
them when he wants to. The latter
may seem to some readers to be need
less caution, but some farmers need it
and ought to give heed to its teachings.
Last week the barn belonging to one
of my nei9hbOrS was struck by light
ming ana burned. The owner saw the
fash and went at once to the burning
building u set out his horse and cow
which were tied in then stables. He
got to the horse but was not able TO
unfasten the rope with which he was
tied, had no knife with which to cut
II, and was obliged to leave his horse
TO perish in the flames. Now. Idonot
set myself up for a model farmer bv
any means, but always tie my horses
in such manner that, while perfectly
secured from getting loose themselves.
l can unite them in two seconds. |
tie with half bow knot and draw
the end of the rope through the loop
thus made. Besides this, I ALWAYS
carry jack knife in my pocket. In
these respects think my example is
worthy of imitation. All animals that
are fastened in barns or anywhere else.
should be secured in such a manner
that in case Of fire they can be readily
| set at liberty. This is the teaching
not only OF self-interest on the part of
farmers, but also Of common human
| ity.-Ohi0 Farmer.

A Woman GOred to Death by a
Mad Cow.

1t does not often devOlye upon the
RepubljcuH to chronicle an occurrence
SO horrible as that which took place
about seven o'clock on Wednesday
evening in the yard in the rear of
Adam Bauer's residence, on Lemp
avenue, between Utah and Cherokee
streets.
A few days ago Nh. Bauer purchased
a cow, which he kept confined to his
premises until she became very vicious,
Yesterday evening the cow was stand
ing in the yard, when a little dog be-
longing on the premises began to tor
ment her, and soon had her in a rage.
She finally started after the dog, but
had run but a short distance when she
caught sight of Mrs. Elizabeth Hirsch,
a married daughter of Mr.. Bauer,
who had just emerged from the house,
and who was totally unsuspiciOus of
danger. The animal lowered her head,
and made tremendous charge on the
Isttty olIIhIIlS IlCI III Vic dDtlOI1lSll
with its horns, and fairly diSemboWel-
ing her. She fell to the ground with a
scream that brought out the inmates
OF the house, who attacked the cow
with sticks, but all to no purpose.
The animal was craZed, and it kept
striking at the PROSTATE woman with
it's horns until it secured a fresh,
strong hold, when, by great effort, it
lifted her up and threw her over the
fence, into an adjoining yard. She
was instantly picked up and carried
into the house. \ physician was call
ed, who did much to alleviate her sUf-
ferings, but declared there was no
possibility Of her recovery, as she had
received several injuries, any one of
which might prove fatal.
Mrs. Hirsch is only twenty-eight
years of age, and has two little chill
dren. Some time ago she left her
husband and returned to her father S
house. st. Louis ReD2tbZjcQ7l.

think that q boX-stall will suffice. You
might as well teach an eaglet to fly in
large cage as TO give the needed dis
cipline to a colts legs, heart and lungs
in boX-stall. Many most promising
youngsters are fatally checked in the
development of their powers by lack
Of needed exercise in their second and
third years. We hold that colt needs
great deal of exercise; not to the
halter, which is good for nothing but
to sweat out lazy groom; but sharp,
quick exercise, in the taking of which
every muscle is brought into play, ev-
cry joint tested, and every vein, how
ever small, sWelled taut with rapid
blood, as is the case when allowed the
liberty Of hill and plain, and to follow
the promptings of nature.
How full of bounding life the young
sters are when in a drove of twenty,
uplifted heads, and tails erect, their
long hair streaming straight out be-
hind, they charge in laundering col
umnS across the shaking field! See
how they tear along with hoofs that
spurn the plain, with changefu gait,
and actions free and swift as a swal-
lows See that sorrel trot! Look at
his stride, How he opens out! Ha!
did you see the chestnut catch his
step? How that brown one runs
Ho. here, boys here! Now look and
see them come strung cut in line,
heads toward us, ears pricked and eyes
on fire! Hi, there! hi, there, Now
see them sweep to the left and 90 tear
ing away like mad, muzzles straight
out and ears laid back, until they pass
. the ridge, and the valley catches them
from our sight! Circus-there never
was such q circus as that It's enough
to stir the blood in the veins Of dea-
con. 1t is the exercise lot, and the eX-
erciSe lot alone, that can take the
place and make good the absence of
natures liberty. In it the colt can
run and jump and race, and double
this way and that, and check himself,
as only a colt can when in full career,
to his hearts content. Every owner
Of colt should have an exercise lot.
1t costs little to make one, and will
pay for itself fifty times over in two
years. --G0Zde71 Rule.

the sap flows, the toddy sours, and the
murders 60 on all the year rouad.
Cocoanuts differ in shape, size and
flavor as do apples, as do pears, as also
peaches. [ brought to the Hawaiian
Museum in Honolulu fourteen pairs of
cocoanuts ranging from crabs to pound
sweets. They follow two types, the
oval and circular. The smallest of
the oval is as long as a mans forefin-
ger and not larger; Of the circular no
larger than a doves egg. From this
smallness they ascend to those that are
nine inches in diameter. The tree
producing small nuts reprOduces itself,
and the mammoth nuts of Samoa and
the MarqueSaS are parents of the same
huge nuts on EbOn. The nuts differ
in flavor. Some are moderately sweet
to drink, others delicious, while others
are quite brackish. Each tree follows
its own type. Only one thing more.
In these coral islands are found cocoa
nuts with an edible husk. When
quite green every part is chewed and
eaten. When the husk becomes
tougher it is chewed and the juice
swallowed like sugar-cane. Beginning
with the Gilbert Islands / have almost
forgotten their existence in this Won
derful tree, which is food, drink, fuel,
house, clothing, money, almost father
and mother to a race who, so far as
their knowledge of their own origin is
concerned, are aboriginal and indigen-
Gus, the same as the milk in the cocoa
nut.-COr Detroit Tribune.

Lung Powers III Horses.

How shall colt be treated in order
to develop in him the highest degree of
speed? We will take an animal at two
years Of age, let US say, and inquire
into the best method Of cultivating the
faculty and power Of rapid motion.
The first thing to attend to, be it OBJ
served by all, is the lungs. Lung power
is the best kind OF a power a horse can
possibly have, because it alone can
make other kinds Of power of avail
Muscular power is very desirable: but
muscles can never bring horse to the
wire in time, unless his lungs are good.
Nervous force is excellent: but no
amount Of vital energy will hold a
horse up through the wear and tear of
a four-mile race. A perfect bone
structure is admirable; but what are
bones, if the breathing apparatus is in
adequate? The first point, therefore,
that a breeder or owner of a lively colt
should consider, is this matter of lung
development. In6 great question with
him should be, chow canI expand and
enlarge his lungs?''
To begin with, then, let it be re-
marked that colts need a great deal of
exercise. By nature they We're made
for rapid movement. Like young
birds, they develop in motion. The
number Of miles a colt of high breed
ing, and in good condition, will 90
when at pasture, each day, is some
thing surprising.
Now, no sensible man will turn
colt of fine promise loose in the pas
ture after the second year; and we do
not after the first. \ good colt is too
valuable to risk in that foolish man
ner, especially if he be a horse colt.
He should be kept in large, roomy
stall, where he can be attended to and
trained dayby day. But do not forget
his need Of daily exercise. Do not
