Demonstration of the Buffalo

The subject of domestication of the
wild buffalo of the western plains has
often been discussed and the opinions ex-
pressed have been very diverse. Sew
eral attempts have been made to domes-
ticate them, but the success attendant
upon these efforts has not been very
great. Ex-Delegate W. A. Burleigh of
Dakota Territory, believes that success
can be attained and speaks as follows:
/" Who ever beard of winter or flood
that killed buffalo, at least in any ap-
preciable numbers ? You know what
Chinook winds are? Well, last winter
one of these winds melted the snow and
left several inches of water on the ground.
Suddenly the mercury fell way below
zero, and the water was a solid sheet of
ice. The domestic cattle couldn't get a
bite of grass anywhere on the level,
and the hills we're were bare or too much
exposed. I took my field glass and
watched herd of buffalo [ saw in the
open. Did they go hungry? Not much.
A lot of bulls would go in front of the
herd and, stamping on the ice, would
loosen and break it. Then, with horn
and hoof, they would scatter it and get
at the succulent grass beneath, while
COWS and calves, following in their wake,
gleaned-like Ruth-from the field their
lords had passed" The experiment,
conducted in proper manner, is well
worth trying, as, if successful, the breed
ing of the animals would undoubtedly
be profitable.

almost as cold as his own. In his pocket
was silk handkerchief; he handed it to
her and babe her tie it about her neck,
for he dared not rise to fasten it there
himself. Then he took both her hands
between his own, striving to keep them
warm.
Laura was the first to speak, and her
voice was quite firm, scarcely even sor-
rowf1ll: "Tom, dear, [ do not want to
die; and yet death cannot take from us
the boon of having died together
"But we shall not die now, Laura;
know we'll not" There was ring of
conviction in his tones. The profound
resignation underlying her words had
struck the right key in his own nature,
and the thought of his first despairing
mood made him almost angry. "But
it, awful hungry we are, my DEAR" we're
his next words.
"I'm ashamed of you," said Laura,
and she actually laughed. Tom laughed
also.
When two persons in such position
can laugh it is either every brave" or
every shocking" according to the creed
we first sucked and the $50 forth" of our
salad DAYS.

neither could see the others face. The
fog was cold, and from time to time
Laura had shivered once or twice,
audibly, though quite involuntary, for
she was brave little woman. When
the ripple of the young girls laughter
rang out amid the fog (above the boom
of the surf, the far away barking of the
sea-lions on Seal Rocks,) and near, yet
distant screams of the fog signaD, and
when his own laughter was smothered in
the fog-folds, Tom repeated, "But am
hungry, awfully-"
What he mi ght have gone on to say is
forever sealed. The next moment the
boat struck something with great mo-
mentum, and that is all Laura remem-
bered till she woke in the queer little
cabin of the Sarah Emma, brigantine in
bound from Australia
A woman's gentle face bent down over
her own in anxious, motherly regard,
and dear Tom sat on locker behind the
gangway, with glad tears in mis- eyes to
see the color steal back to her cold
cheeks.
"And now you must havea bit to eat, !"
said the captains wife in hospitable ac-
cents.
But Laura shut her eyes, half mali
ciously, and murmured: "Give it to
him, please; he's always hungry"
"That's what you'll not dare to say
when you become Mrs. Tom" said the
young man, triumphantly; and as the
matronly figure of the captains wife
disappeared in the shadow of the gang
way, he kissed her shut eyes softly and
turned away.

thing which SO far was visible to scarce
any one or anything but the snake.
That something was much more harmless
In look than the snake itself; it was only
q quiet, ferret-like creature, interested
for the moment in matters quite foreign
to the snake which was now crouching
IN the corner, Yet to the cobra,
venomous, deadly as it was, the look of
that mongoose was as the sight of death,
for its instinct told it that the quiet
rodent would presently clasp it in q
deadly embrace, and it was for this the

Tea-Pickinu

From Chambers Journal
In a Chinese tea garden the first duty
tor which female cooperation is in de-
mand occurs in leaf-plucking, on the
careful, intelligent, and conscientious
performance of which much of the sub
sequent high character and value of the
finished produce depends. Where
ignorance was rampant, as in the early
days of some Of the Indian tea planta-
tons, the blameworthy habit of strip
ping the branches-that is, grasping
them at their junction with the main
stem and drawing the closed fingers
sharply along, thus clearing them at one
sweep of every bud and leaf-was fire.
qUently practiced. It was most repre-
hensible custom, as the planters soon
discovered, and was INDUCED in by un-
scrupulous pluckers, when safe from the
eye OF supervision, in order to save
themselves trouble and quickly augment
the contents of their baskets, thereby
completing the days "task " in the
shortest space of time. The practice was
physiologically damaging to the tea
bushes and fatal to the value of the
finished tea, turning out, as it did with
such rough manipulation, mere con-
fused aggregation of leaves of all ages
and sizes-a piebald and harlequin-look-
ing mixture, badly plucked, unevenly
fermented, and pleasing neither to
palate, nose, nor eye. In China, the
home of tea-farming and preparation,
such serious, but quite preventable
practices could scarcely happen; and we
think we may venture to assert that
where British ladies and girls of even the
most ordinary educa Jon were employed,
such willful bungling would be next to
an impossibility. On the arrival of the
tea season in Hou-nan and Hu-peh, and
doubtless also in other districts, the
more experienced among the Leaf
pluckers-who have previously under
gone a system of dieting and sanitary
supervision, so as to avoid the risk of
communicating any faint to the delicate
fowery pekoe they are about to handle
are marshaled in select companies and
taken to the scene of their pleasant
labor. By dawn, day or two afterward
perhaps, hundreds, sometimes thousands
of merry, black-eyed, well-dressed girls
may be observed tripping gayly along
the raised banks of the paddy-felds to
the gardens, situated on the hill-slopes
beyond, all Enthusiastically evincing the
keen interest they feel in this agreeable
and healthful work to which they are
fastening. Reaching the gardens, each
detachment by coolies to
bear away the pluckings to the central
drying-shed or manipulating ho1ag-b be-
gins upon separate lot of tea-bushes,
and in few hours two of every three
leaves have been carefully removed, the
terminal leaf of every branch or twig be-
ing usually allowed to remain.

The Doomed Cobra.

One warm day in Calcutta, says the
correspondent of an English paper, the
Prince of Wales and suite stood in a
small room, interested spectators of a
striking scene. A cobra that had bitten
a dog and killed it almost instantaneous
ly, was wandering about the floor, de-
faint in air, reckless in bearing, and, to
all appearances, caring for nothing,
when suddenly visible change came
over it's conduct. No blow had been
struck at it, no blow had been hurled at
it, and yet in an instant it was covering
and almost shivering-regarding some

The Pope's Appreciation of a Joke.

looked at his eminence. The cardinal
turned round, and the man slipped down

The Great American Eqq-Eater.
lFrom the Philadelphia Bulletin.l

In the Philadelphia Geological Garden
there is large ant-eater or Myamaeca-
Ehag0 .jubata which is quartered in tn e
American egg-eater," as his principal
diet consists of eggs. the monotony being
varied with rice, milk, and occasionally
some ground liver. The ant-eater is
very rare animal and great interest is
felt in the preservation of this one. In
May, 1880, small one was bought by
the society, but it only lived about seven
weeks. This specimen is about the u.s.
ual size, being about seven feet long
from the tip of its tail to the end of its
head. The head is about fourteen inches
long, and resembles more than anything
else the trunk of the elephant, except
that it is perfectly rigid. The bones of
the nose and jaw are elongated into
narrow tube, at the extreme end of
which is the mouth. The eyes are set
on the side of this tube about six or seven
inches from the mouth. The tail is
more than one third the length of the
body and is covered with thick bristly
hair, which, being curled up over the
animal when it sleeps, gives it the ap-
pe&ance of rough door-mat. The legs
are very strong, the fore feet being COW
cred with long sharp claws, which are
turned in toward the foot and upon the
outer edges of which the animal walks.
The tongue is of great length, and being
covered with glutinous saliva thou
sands of ants can be caught with single
sweep. The ant-eater is very delicate
animal TO keep in captivity, SO that it is
a matter of much doubt how long this
one will be kept.

The Biuuest Calf,
from Chambers Journal.l

There is class of peculiar people we
sometimes observe at places of public re-
sort who endeavor, by various means, to
make themselves remarkably conspicu-
Gus, it may be in dress, conversation, or
general behavior. At cattle show held
in one of our country towns a country
pumpkin who, for some time, had been
disturbing the company with his loud re-
marks, at last broke forth: ''Prize cat
tie, indeed Call these ere prize cat
tie? Why, they amt nothin' to what
our folks raised. You mayn't think it,
but my father raised the biggest calf of
around our parts. "Oh, exclaimed a
bystander, "we have no doubt of that. "

SUMNER DREAMS.
BY GEORGE ARNOLD.

dream Ct upland, where the primrose shines
And waves her yellow lamps abovetthe lea;
OF tangled copses, swung with trailing vines;
OF open vistas, skirted with tall pines,
Where green fields wait for me.
/ think of long, sweet afternoons, when /
May lie and listen to the distant sea,
Or hear the breezes in the reeds that sigh,
Or insect voices, chirping shrill and dry,
In the fields that wait for me.
These dreams of Summer come to bid me find
The forests sha de, the wild birds melody,
While Summers rosy wreaths for me are twined,
While Summers fragrance fingers on the winds,
And green fields wait for me.

One autumn day we three,
Who long had borne each other company,
Grief and my Heart, and l,
Walked out beneath dull and leaden sky
The fields were bare and brown;
From the still trees the dead leaves futtered dow
There were no birds to sing,
Or cleaye the air on swift, rejoicing wing.
We sought the barren sand
eside the moaning sea, and, hand in hand,
Paced its slow length, and talked
Of our supremest sorrows as we walked.
Slow shaking each bowed head
"There is anguish like to ours" we said;
The glancing eyes of morn
Fall on no souls more utterly forlorn."
But suddenly, across
A narrow ford wherein wild pillows toss,
We saw before our eyes,
High hung above the tide, temple rise
temple wondrous fair.
Lifting its shining turrets in the air,
All touched with golden CLEANS,
Like the bright miracles we see in dreams.
Grief turned and looked at me.
ssWe must go thither o my friends" said she;
Then, saying nothing more. ....
With rapid. gliding step passed on before.
And we-my Heart and /
Where Grief went, we went, following silently,
Till in sweet solitude
Beneath the temples vaulted roof we stood
Twas like hollow pearl
A vast white sacred chamber, where the whirl
Of passion stirred not, where
A luminous splendor trembled in the air.
go friends, know this place.
Said Grief at last, 60 this lofty, silent space,
Where, either soon or late,
I and my kindred all shall lie in state"
sBut do Griets die 2" cried.
.1Some die-not ALL" full calmly she replied.
ssYet all at least will lie
In this fair chamber, slumbering quietly.
'sChamber Of Silence, this
Who brings his Grief here doth not go anliss.
Mine hour hath come. We three
VIII walk o friends, no more in company"
Then was dumb. My heart
And I-how could we with our dear Grief part.
Who for so many day
Had walked beside us in our lonely way?
But she, with matchless grace,
And sweet smile upon her tear-wet face,
Said, - Leave me here to sleep,
Where every Grief forgets at last to weep
What could we do but go?
We turned with slow, reluctant feet, but 10!
The pearly door had closed,
Shutting us in where all the Griefs reposed.
'sNay, go not back" she said
t'Retrace no steps. Go farther Oh instead"
Then, on the other side,
On noiseless hinge another door swung wide.
Through which we onward passed
Into chamber lowlier than the last,
But, oh SO sweet and calm
That the hushed air was like holy psalm,
chamber of Peace was writ
Where the low vaulted roof arched over it.
Then knew we Grief must cease
When sacred Silence leadeth unto Peace.
