Over One Million Milk Cows.

The London echo" OF October %, saw: !:
In the dairy show opened Yesterday at th,.
Agricultural.hall novel and interesting
addition is made to the agricultural e1hi-
bitiens periodically claiming metropolitan
attention. The dairy farmers constitute an
important section of the community. the re-
turns of last year showing that in England
alone there were 100000 mich cows, Of
which number i. was calculated l 200, 600
were in the hands Of $4,000 persons. The
value Of the milk produced by these COWS,
putting the price at six cents per imperial
gallon, and estimating that each COW yields
four hundred gallons yea would amount
to twelve millions sterling. With the
facilities afforded by the railways and the
operation Of the adulteration act, the milk
trade is increasing, so that there is as much
excuse for an annual exhibition of dairy
produce as of horses, poultry, dogs, cats,
bar-maids, donkeys or babies. Ifthe dairy
show leads to the vending of pure milk
and the total annihiition Of Simpson,
"calves brains" "the COW with the iroA
tall" and other adulterations, until recent
ly said to form component elements Of
London milk" the British Dairy Farms
association will not have lived in vain.

Ancient Indian Village.

Phoebe (Nev. Record.-Parties in from
that region report the existence OF an an
cient Indian village at Paragoonah, =. T.,
distant about 200 miles from here. The
houses, now covered with trees and brush,
were arranged in uniform rows, and were
about 8x9 feet. They were all two story
built of abode, the lower one neatly paved
and the upper one supported by pillars of
sandstone rock. The only entrance dis
cove.able was sort Of man-bole in the
top. Bone needles, rude appliances for
grinding corn, and other relics were found
in several of the houses. There is tradi.
ton among the Indians Of that region
that long years ago the tribe that inhabited
those houses were almost exterminated in
q fierce fight with the Navajoes; that the
remainder of the tribe fed to the other
aide of the Colorado and their built them
habitations in the mountains where the
Nayajoes could not reach them, and now
live there secluded. Our informant sayi
the structure and arrangement Of thu
houses give evidence Of a rude system o
civilization on the part Of the builders
that no longer exists among the aborigi-
nails now living in that section.

The report proved true enough, and the
affair, as given by one OF the sons to re-

to believe that the house had been marked
BY burglars. Since then the family hav'

3 o'clock this morning one Of them was

0eVen Acres Of Land for Eoco kooo'
There is commonly at every social
science congress one address which stands
out most prominently, not always or neces'
sarily on account of It's novel or unusually
suggestive, OF, ~ it is called, transitional
character. Such was DR.. Richardson's
address at Brighton Last year, when that
very desirable place Of residence, the city
of Hygeia, was first introduced to the
notice Of the British public; such was MIR.
Hawksley's address this year at Liver
pool. Mr.. Hawksley has a gloomy tale
to tell Of our condition and prospects at
the present day, and he tells it without
reserve. First of all let US realize facts
and figures: "The population Of England
now amounts to $4,000, 900 persons distri-
buted over about thirty million acres ol
land to each person; and on the entire
surface of the earth, exclusive Of the artic
zones, about ten acres of land to each per.
son or, after fair deduction for unin-
habitable deserts and mountains, probably
seven or eight acres Of cultivable land to
each person.

Farewell to tho Potato Bug.
rom the Recky Mountain News.

The Colorado potato beetle, or potato
bug as we generally call it, has at last
found his match in the shape Of mite
parasite. Professor Riley, at meeting OF
The St. Louis Academy of science, exhib-
tied potato bug which was SO completely
covered with mite parasite that the point
of needle could not be placed on any
part of the beetles body without touching
one of the parasites. He estimated the
number of mites at eight hundred. The
bug had been attacked by these enemies
and killed. The potato bug seems to have
number of natural enemies, such as the
load, crow. the rose-hreasted grossbeak
and domestic fowls. There are no less
than twenty-three insect enemies that at
tack and kill it. The bug has also been
migrating eastward across the continent
for several years, until it has now reached
the Atlantic ocean. We hope it may find
a watery grave, and let the waves sing its
requiem.

Omnibus Horses in Paris.
Iippincott's Magazine.

From Lippincott's Magazine.
The omnibus horses of Paris are almost
invariably animals Of exceptional size and
beauty, strong white and dapple gray stall
lions selected with great care in the mar
kets Of Normandy, Percne or Brittany.
They are we'll fed, carefully trained, and
never overworked. Each omnibus has
ten horses belonging to it. These ten
horses 60 out every day; thus, during the
fourteen hours service, the horses are
changed FIVE times. Being thus carefully
managed their strength and speed endure
during long years of service. 1t is not un-
common to see horses that have been in
the company for fifteen years, and they are
still capable of going through their regu-
lar daily task. Great care is taken not to
overstrain their strength. At the foot OF
each of the hills that diversity the surface
of the streets of Paris there are thirty
one of these hills) an extra horse is always
in waiting to aid in dragging the heavy
vehicles up the street. Nor is the moral
side, 90 to speak, or the horses training ne
elected. The pairs, once formed, are never
separated except in case OF accident o.
sickness; they occupy the same stall and
feed from the same manger, divided by a
| partition into two compartments. They
thus become almost a unit in gait, move
ments and impulses, and being always dri
ven bv the same coaahman, they get to un
derstand perfectly his words and motions
By this system the intelligence and docil,
Iity of these beautiful and powerful animal
have become almost proverbial. The cas-
with which they thread their way througI
the crowded streets, encumbered with We
hicles, thronged with foot passengers, an
in manv instances scarce wider than on
of our narrow alleys, and the readines
with which they stop at word, and at ar
Iother start again, are simply marvelou
Next to the petted carriage horses Of tn

A Nevada Cave.
Eureka (Nevada) Sentinel.


Some prospectors have discovered and
are exploring an extensive cave in Pros
meet Mountain. The mouth Of the cave is
situated on the southeast side Of the noun
tain. about two hundred rods south Of the
mouth of the Prospect Mountain tunnel,
and consists of a small aperture on the top
Of the ground. Through this aperture a
man was lowered, fastened to rope, and
found himself in large dome-shaped
chamber. In the floor Of this chamber he
discovered another opening, leading down
ward further into the ground, but this
aperture was not at that time entered.
Subsequently tunnel was run into the
mountain from the surface, which opened
an entrance into the chamber which the
man had entered, and here windlass was
put up and further explorations begun
The man was lowered down for distance
of about one hundred feet, when he rested
on the floor of large cavern, distance
from the natural entrance of the cave al
the surface about one hundred feet. On
the floor OF this cavern was piled bank
Of snow about eight feet in depth, and here
were found the skulls and bones, o
coyetes and deer. some of these bones
which are covered with mud, which hae
dried on them, were brought TO town
