Cutting Out" on Colorado Cattle
Ranch.

Only the first purpose of the Ground
up" has been subserved when the
cattle are collected. Next the
cows and calves must be scout
out" and we saw the I" cowboys ride
into the herd, single out the cow with
calf following), and with great skill ex-
tricate 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 9th
er hand Called Mauvrics," 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 ben
eft of the associated ranchmen. "First
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 rancheros accomplish it has
only come with careful training and
long practice. The little animal runs
wonderfully fast, springs, turns, and
lodges almost like flash; but the cow
boy never takes his eyes off of him, and
the trained horse, now well warmed up
and entering fully into the spirit of the
chase, responds to, almost seems to an
ticipate, every turn of his riders left
hand and wrist. Meanwhile the latter
with his right arm is swinging his
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
around 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 a hot
fire, and are quickly applied, and in a
few minutes the calf, now indelibly DIES
ignated as the property of his master, is
again running about.-A. A. Hayes, Jr..

At Nightfall.

Coming along the meadows,
just after the sun went down,
Watching the gathering shadows
Creep over the hillsides brown;
Coming along in the gloaming,
With never a star in the sky,
Ny thoughts went a-roaming, a-roaming,
Through days that are long gone by,
Days when desire said, TON morrow,
To morrow, heart, Wen be gay"
Days ere the heart heard the SORROW
Which echoes through yesterday
Life was a goblet Furnished,
That with love tor wine was filed;
The cup is bruised and furnished,
And the precious wine is spilled.
But to the traveller weary,
Just coming in sight of home
What docs IL matter how dreary
The way whereby he has come?
Coming along by the meadows,
And watching the fading day,
Duskier than nights dusky shadows
Fell shadows of yesterday.
In the northern sunsets glinmer
The Great Bear opened his eyes;
Low in the east simmer
showed where the full moon would rise.
Lights in a window were cleaning,
And some one stood mt the gate,
said: "why do you stand there drcamings
And why are you home solatc?"
Yesterdays shadow and >orrow
That moment all vanished away,
Here were to- day and to-m orrow-
What matter for yesterday?
Good Words.

A Narrowing Zone.

In proportion as the world grows thorough
ly scientific, specialists have developed, able
to cope successfully with difficulties previous
ly considered uncomfortable. The great dis
coveries in mechanics and chemistry, medicine
and philosophy have, with few exceptions,
been made by persons who have centered
their study and experiments very closely on
some practical point. The same principle ap-
plies to success in commercial or professional
life. The zone of diseases for example which
for ages have been considered incurable, has
within the last generation been very sensibly
narrowed. Epilepsy, by way of illustration,
has, from ancient days to very recent times,
been classed among those beyond human
power to conquer. In this particular connec
ton, however, we have Information indicating
that this Evil Spirit may have found a master,
which leads us to consider it public duty to
make that Information known.
Having friends afflicted with falling fits, We
secured for two of them the services of ply
sician who was wonderfully successful in
curing them that we will, without expense,
send his address to any sufferers.

The practice of speculative insurance
on human life sometimes brings those
who indulge in it into disagreeable no.
toriety. The numerous deaths under
suspicion of foul play have awakened
the interest of life insurance companies,
and the holder of a policy is now obliged
to show reasonable cause for the death
of the insured before the policy will be
paid. The sudden death and burial of
Il poor old man in Lebanon, Pa, is at
tracing considerable attention in that
vicinity. 1t seems that his life was in
sured for about $4,000 in different COM
panies. The policies were held by
wealthy citizens of the place as a specu-
lation. The insurance companies refuse
to pay the policies until satisfied that
there has been no foul play, and the
body is to be disinterred for examina-
ton. 1t is more than probable that the
man died from disease brought on by
extreme poverty and neglect, but if peo-
pie will indulge in the abhorrent practice
of specializing in human life, they must
expect an unenNiable HotOrleIy Wnen
the death of the insured seems to be at
tended with suspicious circumstances.
GENERAL SHERMAN is remembered

is to say, he waited patiently for clients
a long time, and at last got a small case

himself. Then he went into Court, and
lawyer, who is picturesquely described
as "spike-haired, came and won his
case away from him. The future Gen
eral of the Army vowed he'd never try
another case in Kansas, picked up his
books and walked away; and he kept
his vow.

THE NORWEGIAN KITCHEN.

An ingenious continuance for slowly
cooking food with the least expense for
fuel has attracted considerable atten-
ton in Europe, and as it can be made
by any person with little mechanical
genius we give brief description of it..
A box, about four inches larger in all
directions than the saucepan to be used
in it, is lined to that depth with felt, or
some similar non-conducting material :;
food placed in a covered saucepan is
brought to the boiling point over the
fire and maintained at that temperature
for about 10 minutes; the saucepan is
then quickly placed in the g kitchen, -
the cover, with its four-inch lining of
felt, is closed, and the food allowed to
cook by. slow degrees. About one-third
more time is required than for ordinary
methods of cooking.
This simple apparatus was suggested
to Herr Sorensen, the European pat
entee, by the practice followed by the

FIFTEEN IMPORTANT AMERICAN INVENTIONS.
An English journal frankly gives credit to
the American genius for at least fifteen inven-
tions and discoveries which, it says, have
been adopted all over the world. These tri-
umphs of American inventive genius are thus
enumerated: First, the cotton gin; second,
the planning machine; Thrill, the grass mower
and grain reaper; fourth, the rotary printing
press; fifth, navigation by steam; sixth the
hot air, or caloric engine: seventh, the sewing
machine; eighth the india rubber industry;
ninth, the machine manufacture of horse
Shoes tenth, the sand blast for carving;
eleventh, t gulge lathe; twelfth, the grain
elevator; thirteenth, artificial ice manufact-
ure on large scale; fourteenth, the electro
magnet and it's practical application; fifteenth,
the composing machine for printers, 1t is
not often that American achievements in this
direction receive due credit from such a
source.
