As showing the cost and profit of keep
ing cattle in Texas, the Henrietta Jour
nal of that State says: The cost of
keeping cattle per year is about 81 90
per head, or 81 800 per 1000. -Four men,
with twelve to sixteen head of horses,
will tend herd of 1900. The profits
are about as follows: Beeves, per head,
cost SIS; running expenses, 81 go; sell
n. S22, with profit of thirty-tw per
cent. Profit on cows costing Sl3 so per
head; cost of keeping, 8 80, or Sl5. In
C ease of calves, seventy-five per cent,
worth IS per head. Net profit. twenty
tiftee per cent. On u mixed herd the
beeves sold will pay expenses, and the
increase will double itself in three years.
A discount is made on mixed herd of
ten per cent. for losses. The profit on n
mixed herd is ab nut twenty per cel t.
1t says there is total of cattle in the
Pan Handle country of about 1901 900
head, and that it is fair to calculate that
the increase this year from the present
will average not less than fifty per cent.
of the entire number. This will give
$4,000 calves; the number that will stop
this season ut from the Texas drive will
be about % 600 head. This will leave
in the Pan Hlandle-tor the years round
ups about 200. 900 head, and this does not
begin to fill up the country, as it is esti-
mated that it will hold II million head !:
The present average prices for mixed
herds per head, are: Texas stock,
$3.50; domestic stock, SIS; beeves
alone, S22.

the flower of masculine youth and the

NOrder Of the Gnrter.n y

The "Order of the Garter" is the
highest British order Of knighthood, and
one of the Oldest and most illustrious in
europe. 1t has for its motto the phrase,
" Honi soil qui naqt y penSe," usually
translated, Evil to him who evil
thinks" In Burke's "Peeragen it is
said that the order was instituted by
Edwar,, Ill, in August. l34S, and the
popular version of its origin refers to
the dropping of the common symbol by
the Countess of Salisbury at ball. when
the king took it up and presented it TO
her, answering the smile of those who
were spectators to the scene with the
words now the motto of the order. An
old chronicle dates the origin back TO
the time of the great Richard, in 1892,
when it is said twenty six of his knights
wore blue thongs around their legs in a
battle fought with the Saracens on st.
Georges day. DIR. Doran. in his Lives
Of the Queens" in 1855, adopted this
theory. The facts, whatever they are,
have been long overlaid with the popu-
lar traditions.

The Chinese as Cunning Smugglers,

A new Chinese trick has Deen discov-
cred not long since, on the arrival of u
vessel from Honolulu, containing several
cases of shoes that had been shipp to
that port by some Chinese house in San
Francisco, and sent back condemned by
the consignees, the custom house officials
were curious to know the cause, and this
curiosity prompted N1em to open the
cases, when an ingenious plan was dis
covered to smuggle opium into that port
through the heels of the Icon emned "
shoes. The heels, at glance, appeared
natural and properly made, but by pull
ing out nail or two, and removing one
thickness of leather, hole occupying
nearly the whole size of the heel, was
found, into which opium had been placed
to introduce into the Hawaiian market
The condemned " business was part
of the programme, and the shoes were
returned evidently to be reloaded and
forwarded again to that port.

A LESSON IN PoLITENEss.- "A friend
of Dean Swift one day sent him turbot
as a present, by a servant whe had fire.
quently been on similar errands, but had
never received anything for his trouble
Having gained, admission, he opened the
study door, and putting the fish on the
floor, cried out rudely:-
master sent you toubot."
"Young man, "said the dean, rising
from his easy chair. "Is that the way you
deliver messagef Let me teach you
how to behave in the future"
The boy sat down aud the dean going
out and came up to the door, and making
low bow, said:
"Sir master presents his kind compli-
ments, hopes you are well, and requests
your acceptance of small present"
"Does he," replied the boy. Return
him my best thanks, anG here's half a
crown for yourself"
The dean, thus caught in his own trap
laughed heartily, and gave the boy a
crown for lis ready wit. The teacher as
we'll as the scholar, received lesson that
time. The boy certainly knew enough to
make his way in the world.
