A =" Paper Hunt"

A favorite amusement with the young
Washington bloods who have more leis-
ure and money on their hands than
occupation is the "paper hunt" A
wild young officer connected with the
Russian legation, who rides black horse
that is a strange compound OF pluck,
ugliness and chain lightning swittness,
rides the country around, and the young
men of some of the local families have
also been mounted and sent out in the
country to follow his example. The
Russian has formed this lot into sport
ing band, apparently for his own amuse-
ment, as they ali hail him delighted,y SIS
their chief. There being no foxes to
hunt in that part of the country, they
have what is called Taper hunt to take
it's place. The young Russian is the fox.
He dashes ahead, leaving the trail by his
occasionally dropping pieces of bright
colored paper. The sport is to follow
him absolutely wherever he goes. This
young Russian daredevil bolts down the
steepest inclines, takes in high fences,
Jumps almost impossible bits of broken
ground, and thus far in his mad career
has pounded his company nearly to
death, besides weakening the arms and
ribs of some of the ambitious youths,
who, because the sport is fashionable,
have attempted to follow him.

plaintiff they be small, two feet, and
Large, three feet), nip off the tip end of
the new growth with the fingers or with
a knife or shears.-Mschigan Farmer.
The result of little experiment in
potato growing, by Mr.. George William
Bond, of Boston, on his grounds at ia
maica Plain, was in favor of the butt
end Of the potato for seed instead of the
seed end-and q like result has been
reached by many others in similar ex-
periments. The seed from the butt end
gave a greater weight of potatoes from
the same number Of hills-the rate per
acre being about 200 bushels. The vari-
ETY. was the Early Ohio. They were
harvested August 15th.-Boston Cugti-
GATOR.
IF you wish hyacinths, tulips, crocuses,
narcissus, scillas, snowdrops, iris or
lilies next spring, they must be planted
this fall. Cover the beds thoroughly,
after the frost sets in, with four inches
OF old manure, hay, straw or dry leaves.
Plant the bulbs where they need not be
disturbed for several years-especially
the narcissus, scilla, snowdrop and iris.
Hyacinths, crocuses and Tulips should be
taken up every third year. This should
be done after the bulbs ripen in the sum-
mer. Take them up, separate, and dry
off. Plant again in the fall.
In cold weather give horses one pailful
Of water three times day. This is
enough unless you are working them
regularly; then give them little more,
but not to exceed four pailfuls day.
In warm weather when they are brought
in, first sponge out the mouth and nos
trils well with cold water. After few
spongings they will wait for it to be
done. Then give them not to exceed
pailful apiece, and after feeding give one
more pailful before you commence work.
Don't let them 60 without long enough
to make them want more then this. If
allowed, thirsty horse, when warm,
will drink too much. A common twelve
quart pail is the size referred to above.

A Boys Choice.

A few days ago Justice of the Peace
John Weber took his little son down to
Toledo on an excursion. The lad inter
viewed the man at the wheel, and gath
cred much information relative to the
business of steamboating. Presently his
father Joined him on the hurricane Geek
and ssked him how he was enjoying
himself. "First rate" was the enthusi-
astic reply. Pm going to be steam
boat man, papa" Cali right" respond
ed the "judge," "but you'll have to
study navigation, astronomy and divers
other sciences in order to be a good one"
The lad said nothing at the time but ap-
peared to be revolving the difficulties OF
the case in his mind. Perhaps half an
hour later he remarked with much grav-
ity, "Papa, I guess I wont be steam
boat man; I'd rather be justice Of the
peace; you don't have to know anything
to be that" -Detroit Free Press.

",,Cutt1ng Out" on Colorado Cattle
Ranch

Only the first purpose of the round
up" has been subserved when the cattle
are collected. Next the COWS and calves
must be "cut out" and we saw the
"cow. boys'' ride into the herd, single
out the COW with calf following), and
with great skill extricate her from the
throng. The young calves, are of course,
not yet marked, but the presence of one
with COW makes it imperative to place
that COWS mark on it. Strayed calves,
on the other hand (called " Mauvaics,o
from an old Frenchman in Texas who is
said to have added largely to his worldly
store by systematic abstraction of these
waits and strays), are sold for the benefit
of the associated ranchmen. "6rst
catch your calf" as Mrs. Glass would
say. Perhaps you may think that this
is an easy task; but you would find, if
you tried it, that you were never more
mistaken in your life, for the ease with
which the ranchers accomplish it has
only come with careful training and long
practice. The little animal runs won
derfully fast, springs, Turns, and lodges
almost like a flash; but the cowboy
never takes his eyes off of him, and the
trained horse, now well warmed up and
entering full into the spirit of the chase,
responds to, almost seems to anticipate,
every turn of his riders left hand and
wrist. Meanwhile the latter with his
right arm is swinging noosed rope, or
lasso, and in another minute he has
thrown it exactly over the calf's head.
Instantly the horse plunges forward,
giving " slack" to the rope, and allowing
it to be wound round the horn of the
saddle, then he moves on, dragging the
calf after him, and the little creature is
soon in the hands of the men with the
branding irons. These have been heated
in hot fire, and are quickly applied,
and in few minutes the calf, now in
deliably designated as the property of
his master, is again running about

A Birth in India.

In India, before the birth of her first
child, the wife, often not more than IL
or IA years of age, is placed in palan-
quin and borne in triumph, accompanied
by music, to her fathers house, and at
every street c.rner she passes in her
progress cocoanut must be broken and
abandoned to prepitiate the ever-present
demons. Numerous ceremonies attend
the advent of the infant, which must be
washed, clothed, and fed in a peculiar
manner. Its ears, nose, and head are
pressed and pulled, with view to i'm
prove its appearance and bring it good
luck, and it is laid to sleep with PEN
knife aud small coin, endowed with
some highly occult significance, under
its pillow. The mother is treated with
great care and kindness, but as etiquette
forbids doctor to be called until those
around her recognize the fact that her
life is in extreme danger, it is not sur
prising that he often arrives on the
scene too late to save his patient.

VACCINATION is becoming general in
China. One of the most serious objec-
items to it yet remaining is curious.
Chinese mammas are unwilling to allow
the arms of their daughters to be
scratched with the lancet, because, un-
less Chinese girl has few marks on
her face giving evidence that she has
passed through smallpox, she is consid-
cred as lacking one of the chief qualifca-
tons of manageable maiden. The
vaccination scar is still hardly deemed a
sufficient promise of future immunity
from the disease by the Benedicts of the
Flowery Land.
