STEALING cotton under the name 9

STEALING cotton under the name of
saTpling" has grown into a regular
business in New York. 1t has been re-
duced TO such a state of perfection that
The Cotton Exchange has been forced to
make organized resistance thereto. A
few days ago indictments for larceny and
receiving stolen goods were found
against two cotton brokers and large
number OF licensed samplers and cart
men. 1t appears that instead of limit
ing themselves to the small quantity of
cotton from each bale needed to exhibit
the quality, these licensed samplers take
enough to make it an object, and sell it.
The csrtmen follow the example of the
samplers, and take a grab at the bales
entrusted to them on their own account
The cotton dealers estimate their losse

A New Trick at swiudIIng.

A few days ago a package was re>
Ceived at Atslissa, on the r OK Island
road, by express, valus 4 at several thou
sand dollars. The route messenger in
structed the Atalissa agent not to have
the package in the Office over night, hut
TO take it home, or deposit it in a safe
place elsewhere That night the ex-
press office was broken into and robbed,
a few triukets of no value being taken,
though the Office w&s thoroughly ran
sacked. This is q trick which has been
frequently played upon the express
company. A package of silk, ss in this
case, or snide jewelry, is directed from
an eastern Office to some ruTai Office in
this state, on which Is marked q large
value. The night following its delivery
the agency is robbed, and suit follows
to recover the value of the valuable
package stolen by the sWiDdler who sent
it, and who has followed it to its desti-
nation. 1t won for time, but the ex-
press company has learned the game,
and now immensely valuable packages
sent to small country Offices are not kept
where they can be stolen. Hence the
pTeeaution of the route agent saved the
company the loss of several thousand
dollars on a snide package.

How Horses Became Blind.

Ons of the worst eye traps known is
the abominable hay-Tack, where a horse
has to reach up and pull the hay down,
filing his msns, fOretop and, worst
of all, his eyes with hay seed, chat or
whatever msv be mixed with the prov
ender. These traps are met with every
where throughout the land. These
throw the horse in the most unnatural
position for feeding, as the natural posi~
ton is to reach down and pull up, not
to reach up and pull down. as these hay
racks make him do. In reaching up 10
eat it exposes the foretOp, face and eyes
to seed, cIsff and dirt which on getting
on the head once il liable TO get into the
eve at any time. We will speak now of
the abuse that hoFsemen resort to in
controlling a horse. The worst of all Is
in striking him over the head with g
leather strap, your fist, q club or whip.
Shame on q man that would dare TO
club over the head the DOb!est of crea'
tion next to mani But l am sorry to
say We find great many SO called good
horsemen that take delight in sitting
on their Wsgl n seat and trying 10 zee
how close they can send the point of
their cracker TO the horse's ear, or strike
some particular spot Oh the back of the
head, neck or shoulders But my word
for It, q man who will practice tits,
comes to grief sooner or later. Instinct
tells the hoTse to be careful CT his head,
and especially his eyes, for when they are
gone that ends his seeing, SIS they can
never be restored or new ones put in, as
we all know. Therefore, never strike y
horse about the head, but on the other
hand be always mild in handling the

would surprise US all, IL known. a
horse's head, with a good eye setting
out boldly on 8 square face, is q hard
thing to slip a stiff collar over without
rubbing and bruising the eye. Next,
we have the stable to contend with, and
it produces more weak eyes than any
other one thing we know of. Tbe gases
arising from the body are Tuinous to
The eye. Let q man stand over pile of
warm decomposing manure and see how
quickly it affects the eyes. But he
never thinks about the horse in his
cloeely confined stall, with no ventilation
either above or below to carry away this
poison. Set your stables up from the

ss not to confns this gss snd compel It

Also put good ventilation high above
the horses heads TO cause q current %

THERE is considerable excitement
among the manufacturers of silk goods
over the advance in the price of raw
silk. Three years ago this month the
raw material was lower than t had been
for the previous twenty years. Owing
TO the short crops there was a sudden
advance in the market, and the price
went up from 81 to $40 per pound
Since that time there has been gradual
decline IN the price, AID less than a
month ago fine raw silk could be pur-
chased at from SIS 75 TO IS. 80 per pound.
The sudden rise in the price is owing to
the almost utter failure OF the Italian
crop. The French crop is also very
poor. This failure of the European
crop was caused by the cold spring.
Thd Italian and French silk is the best
Taised in the world, and is used Ia the
ms1ufacture of the finest grade of dress
goods and ribbons. It has greater brill
lisncy and is much stronger than the
silk of China and Japan. The crop in
China this year is heavy one, but that
of Japan is not very good.

of nearly sixty. At twenty
he thought of nothing but law; at
thirty, of nothing but pleading; ut
forty he became Judge; and only at
fifty-hve did he make the discovery
that weighing laws and splitting hairs
upon the meaning of words and
phrases is scarcely all the pleasure to
be found in existence.
At fifty-fve he 'Rwoke to the con-
seriousness that ihe had wasted life. He
was very clever at every point in the
common law of the Unterwald, but he
was not wise enough to know that at
that age one can scarcely begin life
over again. 81
II, apart from the law, he had ever
a passion, it was a quiet, half doubt
ing love OF fishing; and, therefore,
when he gave up his judgeship, and
retired into private life with the re-
speot and ever yeneration OF all who
knew him. having angled half his life
for clients, and settled the differences
of other legal anglers through nearly
score of years, he fell to angling for
fish as the one joy of his life.
Indeed, it was this new occupation,
amid nature, trees, flowers and living
water, which prompted Maitre Seller
to the conclusion that he had made a
mistake in life when he brought it
down to grinding law from New Years
Day to st. SyIvester's which is the
last day in December.
The old mans heart was desolate,
His quiet, resigned old housekeeper a
sad spinster, who had thrown herself
into the pathetic and tears early in
life-Maitre Seller found, now that he
saw sky and forest daily, to be quite
q wearisom woman; and the conse-
quence was that Matter Seller would
pack up his fishing wallet, with
crust and flask of white wine for his
lunch, and go out from six in the
morning until sunset.
One day, having caught trout until
he wps weary Of unlocking them, and
the afternoon being close-it was a
warm April that year-he fell asleep
under a whispering fir tree, and there
he slept the sound sleep of innocence
for hours. A
Then as he awoke he experienced
that wonderful luxury-a gradual re-
gaining of the senses-while sweet
voice was singing in the distance.
When he sat up and rubbed his eyes,
he found that the sun had set, and
that he himself was rather sitter in
the limbs than was comfortable.
The voice came nearer, and through
the break in the glade he saw noun
taineer girl spinning as she came
slowly forward, followed by two or
three browsing goats.
The girl was about sixteen; her vel
low, wavy hair was drawn to the back
of the head, and there fell in two long
red ribbon-tied pleits; while the black
bodice and poppy -colored skirt
completed far more charming picture
than any the old Judge had seen in
court through all his legal years.
He sighed lightly. She stopped and
looked about, but she showed no fear.
s'Don't be afraid" he said, gently.
The girl smiled as she saw the plea
