Routt, who is to succeed Teller in the
senate from Colorado, was from illinois to
that state, is carpenter by trade, a plain,
shrewd man, and, by recent mining opera
tions, very wealthy. He does not make
public speeches, but tells frontier anec-
dote as effectively as Abraham Lincoln did
in his best days. He was delegate in con-
gress from the territory, and was the sue
cessful Republican candidate for governor,
in 1876. against Gen. Bella M Hughes,

Starting Il Baiky Horse.

Here are seven ways for starting a
balky horse; each has been tried by
various persons and is said to have
succeeded:
|. Pat the horse upon the neck,
examine the harness carefully, first
on one side and then on the other,
speaking encouragingly while doing
SO; then jump into the wagon and
give the word go generally he will
obey. 2. A teamster in Main street
says he can start the worst balky
horse by taking him out of the
shafts and making him go around
in a circle till he is giddv. If the
first dance OF this sort does not cure
him the second will. 3. To cure a
balky horse simply place your hands
over the horses nose and shut off
his wind till he wants to go, then
let him 20. l. The brains of a
horse seem to entertain but one idea
at a time: therefore, continued
whipping only confirms his stub
born resolve. If you can by any
means give him a new subject TO

trouble in starting him. >. A sim
pie remedy is to take couple of
turns of stout twine around his
foreleg, just bolow the knee, tight
enough for the horse to feel, and tie
in a bow knot. After the first check

the following allusion to the i'm

during the present century
about 1900 we began 10 import

The first American ShoTt-hOrn herd

place in western New York, atwhich
a herd of 100 head were sold for

for the English market. To-day
Devons and Short horns are freely
exported from New York and Bos-
ton to England to improve the na-
tive stock.
''In 1898 the first Merin0 sheep,
three in number, were introduced
into this country, though. unfortu-
nately. the gentleman to whom they
were consigned, not approaching
their peculiar excellencies. had them
converted into mutton. Since that
time American wool has become
celebrated both for fineness Of fibre
and for weight Of fleece. The finest

MOllie's Ram.

Mollie had a little ram as black
as rubber shoe, and everywhere
that Mollie went he emigrated too.
He went with her TO church one
day; the folks hilarious grew, to
see him walk demurely into Deacon
Aliens pew. The worthy Deacon
quickly let his angry passions rise.
and gave it an unchristian kick be-
tween The sad brown eyes. This
landed rammy in the aisle: the Dea-
con followed fast, and raised his foot
again. Alas that first kick was his
last. For Mr.. Sheep walked slowly
back about a rod, tbs said, and ere
the Daceon could retreat it stood
him on his head. The congregation
then arose and went for that ERE
sheep. Several well directed butts
just piled them in a heap. Then
rushed they straightway for the
door with curses long and loud.
while rammy struck the hindmost
man and shot him through the
crowd.
The minister had often heard that
kindness would subdue the fiercest
beast, "Aha!" ne says, "Ill try that
game on you"
And so he kindly, gently called,
Come, rammy, rammy, ram, to see
the folks abuse you so, | grieved
and sorry am"
With kind and gentle words he
came from that tall pulpit down,
saying, 'Rammy, rammy, rammy,
ram-best sleepy in the town"
The ram quite dropped its hum

and when the parson lit he was be

MUSTERED OUT.

There's lonely grave in Virginia,
And a nameiess sleeper there,
That fell when the tide of battle
Rolled over that land so fair.
No costly marble marks the spot
Where he fell mid wars stern rout,
But rough hewn cross and the simpi
words,
"a soldier Mustered out"
There are graves in the "Old Dominion"
Where our heroes lie at rest,
And piles of bronze and marble
Stand above each sleeper's breast;
But none are there among them all
That deck her hills about,
With tomb so grandly simple
As the soldiers mustered out"
II stands in solemn beauty
By the ever moaning sea,
And the passing schooner proudly floats
The flag he died to free.
The white-capped pillows bow their heads
And all the waters shout.
And fling their foam wreaths round rh
grave
Where he sleeps mustered out
Those waters on that dreadful day
Had seen him fighting fall,
And mingling with the battles smoke
Had made the soldiers pail.
No arms reversed, no muffied drum,
i =. Il
These were the sounds that filled the air
When he was mustered out"
No music of soft requiems,
No church bells tolling low,
But clash of arms and cannon's boom
When he was called to go.
His shroud blood-stained, tattered flag,
His hymn the victor's shout,
His knell. ''Cumberland's" last gun;
When he was mustered out
All heroes sleep not meath tall shafts
Nor mountains of stone;
For many graves are marked, alas
With one short word, unknown.
There sleep who fought as brave as those
For whom the millions shout,
Till the Lord of battles gave command
And they were mustered OUT
But He vino marks the sparrow's fall
Knows where each hero lies, [
And humble blood for justice shed
by Him is not despised.
But when in the last reycille
The dead ranks throng about,
Foremost among the just shalt stand
Those soldiers mustered out.

How Dressed Beef is Prepared.

An article describing how dressed
beef is prepared in large western pack
ing houses for shipment to the East,
says After arriving in the yards the
cattle are allowed to rest for two days,
during which they are carefully fed
and watered. When ready for killing
they are driven into an enclosed alley,
from which open ten stalls. AS they
stand in these stalls man shoots them
from above with a Remington rifle.
They are then attached to chain and
in few minutes are cleaned dressed
and ready for the cutting derartment:
One days supply of slaughtered cattle
is kept in advance of this. department,
so that cattle kifled and dressed one
day are cut up'the next In the cut
ting department the carcasses are cut
into the various shapes and sizes need
ed for shipment and are put. into the
icehouse or chill room. Thisroom has
a capacity of 100 tons of smeat, and
there is another of the same capacity,
and third which holds $4,000 pounds
of dressed meat. The temperature in
these rooms is kept at twenty eight de-
grees Fahrenheit, but has been on occa-
sions reduced to sixteen degrees and
maintained at that point for twenty
four hours. This temperature is pro
duced by the circulation of 'sat-pickle
through inch iron pipes, which seem to
be everywhere. and are covered with
an inch and a half of pure white frost.
This arran cement is in strict accord
ance with natural laws, as the cold
pipes attract the moisture which con-
tains whatever impurities there may be
in the air of the room, and renders the
air dry, which is as essential as to have
it cold This method of refrigeration
is equal to the presence of fifty tons OF
ice i'll each room, and its superiority in
point of space and convenience can be
readily seen. When ready for ship
ment the meat is taken from the hooks
in these rooms and put into the refrig.

Fast Eating.

Mastication performed in haste, saws
and exchange, must be imperfect, even
with the best of teeth, ard due admlx
turc of the salvary secretion of the
food cannot take place. When crude
mass of inadequately crushed muscular
fiber, or undivided solid material of
any description, is thrown into the
stomach, it acts as a mechanical irri-
tant, and sets up a condition in the
mucuous membrane lining that organ
which greatly impedes, if it does not
altogether prevent, the process OF di-
gestion. When the practice OF eating
quickly and filling the stomach with
uuprepared food is habitual the diges-
tive organ is rendered incapable of
performing its proper functions. Either
a much larger quantity of food than
would be necessary under natural con
ditions, is required, or the system suf
fers for the lack of nourishment.
Those animals which were intended
to feel hurridly were either gifted with
the power of rumination. or provided
with gizzards. Man is not so furnish
ed, and It is fair to assume that he was
intended to eat slowly. We must a
pologize for reminding our readers of
facts so familiar but we do this in the
hope that any who chance TO have in.
tiuence with the managers OF large ho-
tells where dinners q Ia table dhote are
in vogue, will take measures to bring
about much needed reform in which
these entertainments are conducted.
AT the best and most frequented estab
lishments in places of fashiopble resort,
where multitudes of health-seekers are
wont to congregate, the hurried dinners
are not only causes of annoyance, but
actually go far to prevent the benefit
which would be derived from change.
No sooner is one course than another is
introduced, without giving the guest
time to digest or even swallow the first.
The eagerness to secure good divi-
dends takes particularly mischievous
form, when it piles food on the plate
of customer and compels him TO-. con
sumo it breathlessly. The matter may
seem small one, but it is not SO. just
as man may go on for years, with de-
fective teeth, imperfectly masticating
his food and wondering why he suffers
from indigestion, so man may habit
ually live under an inhiction of hurried
dinners, and endure the consequent loss
of health, without knowing why he is
not well, or how easy the cause of his
illness mig ght be remedied.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1882-12-15

A discovery has been made lately by
a Bavarian archeologist, Herr Sester,
at the point where the Euphrates bursts
through the Taurus Range. Here, in
a wild, romantic district, lying between
Madatieh and Sanisat, he found line
of megalithic monuments, averaging
between 55 and 60 feet in height, and
bearing inscriptions. They are in re-
markable state of preservation, and
Herr Sester has no doubt that they
formed part of some great national
sanctuary, dating back some 5000
years or more. There was formerly at
this place a metropolis of the old Com
magene kings, so that it seems reason
able to attribute these colossal monu-
ments to this ancient people, the hero
ditary foes of the Assyrians. Very
little is known about them. The
classical writers allude to them only in
casual passages, and the arrow-headed
inscriptions, although mentioning them
very often, have hitherto yielded scanty
information.
