Sheep and Cattle.
portance

Our position that sheep and cattle
can be run together with tho bester-
suits is strengthened every day, prov
ing that the luminosity existing among
cattle men toward sheep men is moth
ing more than blind prejudice induced
by pure selfshness. Sheep men ev-
erywhere are putting &C. ain num-
Der of cattle with their focks where
they are run in pastures. These cat
tie, in proper proportion, are almost a
clear profit, paying for fencing. Mr..
Wilson, a large stock man of Bee
county, one of the pioneer sheep men
of that section, says that sheep can
only be run in his part of the country
by herding them closely with cattle.
The grass is so rank that at this time
of the year sheep cannot keep it ate of
close enough to get the fresh, succu-
lent shoots so necessary to their main
tenance, and they therefore become
sickly and die. Observation
has proven to Mr.. Wilson that vher-
aver sheep followed closely grazing
,attle they did well, while the opposite

aas this fact become that the sheep

How Some japanese Made Augers.

Gen. Horace Capron, for several
years commissioner and adviser OF the
japanese Government for the Develop
ment of the natural resources OF the
empire, arrived at Milwaukee recently.
On his arrival in Japan Gen. Capron
began to put up buildings after the
American style, and there not being
any mills, had ut one time 800 natives
saving out the lumber by hand. He
tells both an amusing and wonderful
story of the natives use Of the auger.
They had not even ginlet, and all
holes through the timber had to be cut.
They thought it strange thing that a
tool shonld bore hole in few min
utes that they had been accustomed to
spend whole day upon. But, never
theless, their natural cleverpess and
initiative nature soon taught. them the
advantages of the tool. They were in
structed how to use the augers, and the
work was going rapidly forward, when
one day nearly all the augers were miss
ing. They had been stolen, and dill
gent search failed to discover them. A
new supply could not be got short of
America or England, which would re-
quire several months at least, and ac-
cordingly the work was carried on as
well as possible with the few remaining.
About six weeks afterward the natives
brought to Gen. Capron's Office whole
armful of augers, which they had made,
using the stolen ones for patterns This
was the more remarkable as they had
no FORCES or other tools. They were
made entirely by hand and out of gum
barrels.

Gathering Human Hair II, France.

About the month of May the gather
ers Of the lower order of trade, ped
dlers, ETC., commence harvesting. They
come to the villages at regular intervals.
The largest cut is made in Auvernia

the annual fair, about st. Johns day,
when the gatherer, with his wares and
shining coin, most successfully tempts
the unsophisticated country girls and
becomes owner of the choicest of their
hair at the lowest possible price. The
provincial girl, as she is called, will
make her choice of merchandise or give
orders for something else. The scissors
may at once come into nse, and ac-
counts settled, or she may take advance
payments for her silken coils to be cut
at some future time, the hair to grow
until time stipulated. Advances may
be made on the next four or five years.

quantity of hair is derived from chapels

to an old custom, a great number of
devotees make offerings of their hair to
poor Mother Virgin Mary, and as those
donations accumulate they are scattered

A Newspaper in a Farmhouse.

People who live in the great thor
oughfares, where they have access
to two or three dailies and half-dozen
weeklies, do not fully appreciate the
value at newspaper. They come, in
deed to look upon them as necessities,
and they as cheerfully do without their
morning meal. But one must be far Oh
in the country, remote from the MAIDEN
ing crowd" to realize the full luxury OF
anewpaper. The farmer who receives
but one newspaper a week, does not
glance over its columns hurriedly, with
an air of impotence, as does the mer-
chant or lawyer. He begins from the
beginning and reads to the close, not
permitting a news item or an advertise
ment to escape bis eye. Then 1t has
to be thumbed by every member OF the
family looking for things in which she
or he is most interested. The grown
up daughters look for the marriage no

gives them love story. The son, who

The Health of Texas.

People who do not live in Texas have
the widest ideas of it's extent and
healthfulncss, Notwithstanding all that
has been said to enlighten them. For
instance, they imagine that the yellow
fever at Brownsville threatens the
whole state, and indeed that the state
has any number of cases in it. Brown
sville is almost 200 miles from any
where, and the only point in the state
where there is any sickness of any kind
worth speaking of. It is in the extreme
southern end of the state, and Texas,
it must be remembered, is five or six
times as large as an ordinary state.
How ridiculous then to hear of the Cali
fornians quarantining lot of China
men, from this state. These men have
been at as safe distance from the fever
as the people of San Francisco, but
the health officers might have saved a
great deal of trouble, as we'll as many
idle but perhaps honest fears. 1t seems
impossible to teach the.outside public
what is fact unquestionable here, that
Texas is, ell in all, the heslthiest state
in the American Union.

About Dying.

When one is still young and in health
it is natural that death should be an
object of fear, but it is not true that
those who are very sick fear the grave.
DR.. Griswold, an eminent physician,
who has seen many deathbeds, declares
that the dying do not fear death, but
rather desire it. To pass away when
the time comes is the order of nature
and we all submit to the inevitable
without a murmur. Nor is it true that
death is attended with any superstitious
terrors, for, strangely enough. all phys
icians agree that the dying think of the
past, not of the future. Death itself is
not painful; there is no pang or mental
agony except in case Of wounds or pre-
mature death. There is often terrible
suffering from disease, but death is al
ways a relief. It is idle as well as
wicked to make death seem horrible or
painful. Indeed. to myriads OF human
beings il is looked upon as a deliverer
from pain and care. In one OF the most
popular religions of the esst-Buddhism

Attacked by an American Eagle.
Pittsburg Commercial.

A young man named Funk who is
employed in the Illinois Barb Wire
Mill, and whose home is in Jackson
township, yesterday gave a friend an
account OF an exciting battle which he
and his little brother had with an eagle
on Sunday last, says the YOUNGSTOWN
tribune. MIR. Funk says that he and
his little brother and another little boy
were walking along one OF the country
roads, on their way home from Sunday
school, when large bird which had
been soaring around in the vicinity,
came sailing toward them, and, striking
his brother knocked the little fellow
down. He screamed. and jumping to
his feet, started to run away, when the
eagle pounced upon him and struck
him with its beak and talons, tearing
his clothes and painfully decorating his
left arm from the shoulder to the wri. /.
The other lad sought refuge behind
tree, and escaped injury. Mr.. Funk
had been walking a short distance be-
hind the boys, but on seeing the eagle
attack his brother he p ,cked up club
and went to the rescue, whereupon the
eagle turned upon him and he IVES
painfully scratched before he got in
blow ON the eagles head and knocked
it SEM eless. The bird soon recovered,
but by that time it was Dor nd and
rendered harmless. 1t WAS taken home,
and Mr.. Funk intends to keep it as a
curiosity. A great many people have
called TO see it, and all pronounced it q
fine specimen of the bald eagle. It's
length is about three feet, and the ex-
tent Of its wings six feet two and one
half inches. This is the bird which
Franklin lamented should have been
selected as the emblem of the United
States, on account of its cowardice and
tyranny.

Fishing for Rats.

A novel mode of catching rats is thus
described in the american Angler.
The writer says that person having
the patience of most fishermen can have
much sport in hooking the vermin.
The warehouse adjoining his place of
business is infested by these "file-tails, :"
and our friend may be seen in the early
spring, and late fall on an occasional
evening just after dusk, seated at the
back window of his counting room
Overlooking the yard of the ware
house, with an ordinary rod in hand,
stroug linen line. and spring hook,
commonly called "sockdolager," bait
ed with lump of frerh beef, patiently
waiting for bite. 1t does noe tarry
long nor does it consume itself in
nibbles, but with hungry snap the
bait is seized ard tie hook of the sock
dolager implies the rat, when the
excitement commences.
A lastly rat is no mean antagonist at
the end of plant pole and ten feet of
line, and his plunges, twistings, and
das les are noce perplex-
ing to the angler, than the leaps, surges,
and sulkings of the gamy trout or bass.
The rat is generally landed, after sea-
sonable sport, and killed by blow from
the bludgeon.
In this connection we may state that
thousands OF small hooks are bought by
sugar refners for rafting pu. poses. The
hooks are baited with small pieces of beef
on each, and then distributed about the
building. The rats swallow beef and
hook-the first is digested, the latter =
not-death of course results. The rem
edy is said to be infalible.

Rapid Track Laying.

Laying mile of railway track in
wolves carrying and placing in exact
position from 2.640 to 3,000 ties, bring
ing forward'and laying down, exactly
the right distance apart, 352 rails Of of
90 pounds 10 the yard), each 30 feet
long and weighing 600 pounds, or an
aggregate of nearly 94i tons, or 2l1.-
300 pounds, and fastening the rails to
each other by fish plates and bolts, and
to the ties by four spikes in each tie.
The Roii,pay Age describes the man
ner IN which the work OF laying two
miles of track day is done by means
of the latest devices.
A train Of fiat cars with an engine to
push it stands on the newly finished
track. Upon tho top Of the cars q
track of about eight feet gauge has
been laid, the space from Car to car
being filed by short pieces of rails held
by peculiar joint fastenings, SO as to
allow sufficient play as the cars are
pushed together or pulled apart, and
easy removal of the short rails when
the day work is done. On this track
small car, pushed by hand, runs, car
rying ties to the front. The Car is
fitted with dumping arrangement, so
that as the wheels reach the end of an
extension on tho front Car the small
car tips the load Of ties down upon the
grade. They have hardly fallen before
they are picked up by the active gang
of men and laid in place, the exact space
between ties being indicated by long
pole with white marks, laid ntthe side.
AS soon as each tie is laid young man
follows with gauge and marks with
red chalk the outer line for the rail.
Meantime two men are pulling
pair Of rails rapidly forward upon iron
rollers fixed in the top Of the cars; as
they reach the end the rails slide down
upon movable stands or trestles, with
rollers ON the top, which stand on the
ties to receive them, and before they
reach the ground they are quickly and
easily picked up by the gang and laid
in place on the ties. Another pair of
rails follow; bolts and spikes have
meantime been placed on the ground
by an attendant boy, and in moment
the fish plates, which were fastened on
one end Of each rail before it left the
car, are bolted in place, the spikes
are driven home, and at a signal the
watchful engineer backs the train up
another length of two rails, or sixty
feet. Then another load of ties comes
down on the grade, and SO
the process goes on.
The writer timed the work and saw
twelve pairs of rails, or six double
lengths between each dumping of ties,
laid and half spiked in 81 minutes, 80
that the train could move over them.
The rails being thirty feet long; this
speed, in day of ten hours, would
suffice to lay 10,2S4 feet of track, or
not much less than two miles day.
Practically, this rate can seldom
be kept up all day, although q larger
force of men and working more hours
it could apparently be considerably ex-
seeded. The force engaged at the
lime referred to numbered only twenty
,ix, as the contractor did not wish to
hurry the work for fear OF overtaking
The graders.
