THE Chicago Tribune says: While
the receipts of cattle from January 1st
to date exhibit a falling off of only 400
head, there was a decline in the ship
ments of 75,991. This difference fairly
represents the growth of the dressed
beef business. Slowly but surely the
shippers of live cattle are being driven
from the field. "A few years ago more
than four-fifths of all the cattle received
here were forwarded eastward on the
the hoof. Now considerably less than
one-half the arrivals are disposed of in
that way.

What Supreme FOLLY This Is.

OTTAWA, Ont, July 16.--A report has
and mouth disease is prevalent at Helena,
Mont. Members of the government are
anxious about the matter, as liberty was
granted by the customs department
some time ago for the shipment of Mon
tana cattle in bond through Canadian
territory from some point on the Can
adian Pacific railway to England. IT a
case of foot and mouth disease breaks
out, Canada would be scheduled the
same as the United States by Britain,
and the only real industry here, the
cattle shipping trade, would be killed.
Your correspondent to-day waited on
Hon. Mr.. Powell, minister OF customs,
and interviewed him on the subject.
The minister stated that he had no in
formation as to the disease in Montana,
and did not think it was the case, but ii
SO, rigid inspection would be made
before admitting cattle. 1t was always
the case that Western cattle was admit
ted to the Canadian Northwest, and
such strong representations had been
made to him that he allowed some to be
shipped through Canadian soil, in bond.
The minister OF agriculture, in conVersa-
ton with your correspondent, urged
that, according to a proclamation issued
by Canada, it was impossible for Mon
tana cattle to pass through Ontario ana
Quebec provinces, although they We're
admitted TO Manitoba and the North
west, owing to the isolation o. the coun-
try. The question is to be further
discussed by the government, and some
proper understanding arrived at con-
corning the trade.

GRANDMOTHER READING THE
BIBLE.

Hush, little feet go softly
Over the echoiug floor,
Grandmother's reading the Bible
There by the open door;
All of its pages are dearer still,
Now she is going down the hill.
Mellow September sunshine
Round her is gently she'd
Gold and silver together
Growing her Bonded head
While she follows where saints have trod,
Reading the blessed Book of God.
Grandmother's past the morning.
Past the MONDAY sun,
And she is reading and resting
After her work is done;
Now. in the quiet autumn leaves,
She has only to bind her sheayes.
Almost through the trial.
Almost through with care,
And the discipline of sorrow
Hallowed by trust and prayer;
Waiting to lay her armor down,
To 60 up higher and take the crown.
No little feet to follow
Over this weary road.
No little hand to tighten
OF many a weary load;
Children standing in honored prime,
Bless her now in her evening time.
Grandma has closed the volume.
And by her sanity look
Peace know she has gathered
Out of the sacred book
Maybe she catches through that door
Glimpses of heavens eternal shore.

The town of Selma. Ala, claims tC

The town of Selma, Ala, claims to
have the most wonderful artesian well
in the world, and it would seem with
with good reason. The remarkable
feature in the case is that two parate
streams OF water OF entirely different
properties flow from this well. The
singular effect in question is produced
it seems, by the SIMPLE insertion OF a
two.iuch pipe within a four-inch tube.
The larger pipe descends to depth OF
some four hundred feet, the water hav-
ing no mineral qualities or character
and being very cold; the inner pipe de-
scends seven hundred feet; the water is
strongly imprsguat, ID with sulphur and
iron, and, compared with sthe tempera-
ture of the twin stream. is quite warm.

Inter OCEAN: For once we quite agree
with General Butler. The idea of ap-
pointing him military governor of
Utah strikes him as ridiculous. So it
is. 1t must have originated IN the brain
of crank. Now that his name has
been associated with that of Carter H.
Harrison he should be and is above
gubernatorial ambition. AS president
he would be ommander-in-chief of the
army, and might march in force upon
Salt Lake City. establish his headquar-
ters at the Endowment House, and read
the riot act to the saints: but as COVER
nor he would be barbered Samson in
the hands of the Philistines.
