Handling Stock.

The term 'handling stock is tech
nical one, more particularly applied to
cattle than to any other domestic ami
mails, but a practical knowledge of it,
even in sheep and swine, is considered
important in England by al, breeders.
When the fingers are moderately
pressed upon the tlcShy parts of an
animal. and the hair, hide, and
especially the flesh, beneath have Il fine,
soft. elastic spring, it is called goOd
huNdIiiiJ: on the contrary. if they are
coarse. thick. hard and rigid TO the feel
inc. with little or no spring under the
pressure of the fingers, that is called
b,;d ha,4HfitIg. OF course there are as
many degrees in handling, from very
bad to very GOOD. as there are grades
of animals. The better an animal
handles, .hc quicker it fccds-that is
the sooner t will mature and become
fully grown for the purpose of breed
inc. or to ttt for the butcher, and u
good handler Will do this at a much less
consumption of Good than Il bad one.
BY cultivatng a race of cattle which
handle we'll we gam in two ways les
sen the time in prl:@cting them. and
save in the food. For example,: \ GOOD
handling steer can be fuzzy fitted for the
shamblc at about three years of age,
while an Indifferent one viii, require n
wear longer to do this, and q bad one
fully two years: and yet the price real
lied from the three will be within Il
fraction of the same. SO here is 3 COLI
sidrrahlN greater consumption of food
in the last two. greater risk in keeping
them, and the loss of one or two years If
interest on the amount for which they
are sold.
SO important is ths knowledge of
proper handling considered in Eng land,
that when Il grazier comes to purchase
stock of the breeder to feed for the
Shamblcs, he would rather select the
animals biindfold with handling. than
with his eyes wide open to inspect them
without this opportunity of touching

ROCKETS on THE RAMPAGE.
An Explosion i'm Wo"lwi'h Arsenal, Eng

ade of War Rockets-Two Persons Killed
and Considerable Damage to Property.

LONDON, Scptcmbcr2f.
An explosion at WOolwich Arsenal
caused Il fire in the main building, which,
including the laboratory building, was de-
s1rove ed within half an hour after the fire
broke out. 1t contained an immense num-
Der of war rockets, which were filled with
destructive missiles. The latter flew in all
directions, many being projected to and fall
ing upon the other side of the Thames. The
explosives caused fearful tleStI uctiOn of
property throughout the town and i'll the
surrounding district. The fire was cXtin-
t,uiShed at noon, when the rockets ceased
their explosions. Old soldiers declared the
explosion of the rockets during the fire was
as frightful as if occurring in an actual
siege. Two bodies of the victims of the eX-
plosion have been found. Some of the
rockets We're projected distance of five
miles. One of them went through the wall
of the arsenal and another struck the artil-
lery barracks. Rockets fell in Firth,
Elsham, Charlton and Ilford. One of them
plunged into n school for infants at Plump
stead: another entered a draper'S SLop in
Woolwich, and still another wrecked a gro
Cery store. There was the widest panic at
Woolwich, but no loss of life with the ex-
ception of the two persons mentioned, and
who were employed in the arsenal. First
reports of the fatalities were exaggerated.
The principal damage is confined to the

Is it a Myth +?

The Red Man has a knowledge OF
some things in Nature that the white
man will never have. Whether this Is
the product of the inherited experience
of generations, or some instinct that
has been cultivated, it is hard 10 tell,
but it is an accepted fact that their
knowledge of things near to nature is
superior to ours, and civilization frc-
ouently comes across evidences of it.
The trained ear and eye, the sure
knowledge gained by some mysterious
..feelino in the air. the Caucasian race
will trust implicitly where it has to deal
alone with Nature. An observer in the
West who has been impressed with this.
has taken pains to investigate the mat
ter carefully, and has discovered that
none of the cities and towns built on
the sites of old Indian villages have
ever been visited by the cyclones
and hurricanes that this year, in
particular, have seemed SO universally
prevalent in the Western States. AS
examples he gives Chicago, Omaha.
Peoria, Chillicothc, and n long list of
others are cited, each of which was
built on the site of an Indian village
and bears an Indian name or one OF In
dian derivation. The storms have swept
bv, in close proximity to all of these.
but each one appears to have been shell
tered by Its natural position.
1t was noted long ago that the old
Indian trails through the forest and
across the prairies are still the lines of
the quickest and easiest travel. Ger
tainly these facts indicate the possession
of some rare instructive acquaintance
with natural phenomena on the part OF
the ignorant savage that civilization
would do well to make use Of as far as
possible before the conditions that are
changing the savage have taken from
him this inheritance.-Iotoa state RcyiS-

Italy and Morocco.

The fact that Tangiers was in panic
the other day lest it should be bonn
harded by the Italian fleet will give
rise to the suspicion that Italy has de-
signs upon Morocco. Hitherto Moroc-
co was generally conceded to be
the proper prey of Spain, just as
Tunis was until a year ago sup
posed to be the predcstined booty of
Italy, France having already bag@e
Algiers. In. the matter Of Tunis, Italy
was grossly cheated by the French.
who broke into Tunis and seized all the
'.swag' before Italy had her Jimmy
ready. 1t is barely possible that.
having been cheated out of Tunis, Italy
now intends to seize upon Morocco.
This would account for the presence on
the coast of Morocco of q powerful
Italian fleet. including the famous iron
clads Duilio and Dondolo. Apparently,
there is quarrel between Italy and
Morocco concerning certain ''claims'
made by Italian citizens against the
Emperor, and if these CLAIMS should
not be paid the Italians may proceed to
exact satisfaction by seizing Tanglcrs.
The curious feature attending such
quarrel between Italy and Morocco
would be the fact that Spain, seeing
herself forestalled by another, would,
uOuDlleSS, instantly fu;tTIcI WIFI lttls
Perhaps such a quarrel would not be
particularly distastcful to the Italian
Government. for Spain would be no
match for Italy, and the latter could
win fair amount of glory at a cheap
rate. The Italians have not felt eX-
cessively friendly to the Spanards since
the latter declined to be rulcd-by King
AmadeO, and if they could capture
Tangicrs and then compel Spain to pay
the cost of the war they would combine

found on property which had once be-
