a large and successful meeting. The asso-

and the 2:20 pacing class. These purses
are from $500 to $500 each. Six stake

class will not close until Monday, Aug. g..
the day before the opening of the Joliet

they will be in attendance at this meeting.

The Creole beauties q New orleans.

The Creole beauties OF New Orleans.
Emerging into Canal street we change
at step into the full moving life Of an
American city. The street itself Is q
beautiful one, splendidly built up with
modern stores and having a width that
IS unknown In this country outside of
The national capital. This street Is to
The Crescent City what Broadway IL to
New York, or Pennsylvania avenue Is to
Washington. Here the languid Creole
beauty, the bashful country girl from
the provinces" the confident belle Of
uptown, and the hotel stranger meet
upon neutral ground for that great pur-
pose that makes every female heart throb
the faster-shopping, and that other
more far reaching and powerful--show-
ing their toilets. Every bright day the
broad street is thronged with ladies and
men of every age and color.
No women in America dress better
than the Creoles. In other cities there Is
perhaps greater riches, but The great ma
jority of ladies wear what they do be-
cause some one else wears II, while the
Creoles, knowing that what would look
well on other people does not suit them,
use that careful and perfect adapta5ility
Of color and cut to complexion and to
form, that alone insures perfect en-
semble. AT night this throng goes drift
ing to the theatres, which are of the
very highest class. You find them every
wherejammed against the churches, in
the midst of the fashionable quarter, in
the poorest of the poor quarter. The
population are much like that of Paris in
this respect. Every one goes to the
opera, and every one can talk intelli-
gently about the play. They look upon
the bright side continually, and there il
nothing gloomy about this insoucient,
elastic city. The stranger is apt to catch
this infection and look only at the gayei
pictures and the picturesque and unique
points of the venerable and varied old
town. When he starts to investigate the
business of the city he will find it much
like those around it.--Newa Orleans Cor

VIVA animals Of yy,.tern Texas.

In camping out at night one sometimes
finds strange bedfellows, the most re-
pulsive of which are rattlesnakes and
skunks. Centipedes, tarantulas. vina-
grons, lizards, and scorpions are not
pleasant, but they lose much when
brought in comparison with rattlesnakes
and skunks, the bite of eitAbr of which
is almost always fatal. Cougars, OF
mountain lions, are quite common in
some portions of the country, and lie in
wait for calves and young colts, which
they kill and devour. AT night, too,
they stampede the horses by going among
them and endeavoring 10 jump on them.
Some of these animals are larger than
those found further north, and are quite
formidable, sometimes evincing consid-
cradle bravery when watching herd OF
horses and almost famished with hunger.
The skins are handsome enough, but
have strong and rank smell, which
renders them not specially desirable. The
tiger, or jaguar, skin is much more beau
tiful, and when properly trimmed and
dressed makes fine parlor rug. There
are many valuable things here, which
with time and patience can be made tc
add much to the worlds wealth. When
the country gets settled up the wilder
ness will disappear, but it viii be a great
many years yet before western Texas
will be tanned down to the dead level OF
modern civilization. Fort Stockton Cor

roetlcal works Of the king.

A few years ago King Ludwig Of Ba.

printing offices for doing secret work
On tho strength of the information OBJ
tanned he sent with much secrecy &
pretty voluminous manuscript bearing
no name to Herr Muhlthaler, the printer

Dental bearer OF the parcel ordered {
single copy to be drawn off in the edi
ton de luxe style, with strict injunc
tons that none save the composer should
see the manuscript, and the latter, to
gether with the first and corrected proof
sheets, must be reigiously returned tx

the king, supposed to be written in thu

A Mouse churns the Butter.

The Danbury Conn News relates that
lady of that city recently left bowl
of milk standing on the pantry shelf.
Out came a mouse and spied a cool
drink of the delicious beverage. Unfor.
tunately for the little feaster, it fell into
the flowing bowl. In order to save itself
the mouse Immediately began to churn
the milk by swimming back and forth.
In couple of minutes the butter came,
and then this smart mouse stood upon il
and jumped out upon the shelf, but
with quantities of the butter sticking tc
its paws, for it tracked it all about the

Feeding SKINNED MIX to Cows.

In the course of the proceedings at the

question of utilizing separated and
skinned milk, Mr.. Tisdall stated that he
had begun giving his cows SKINNED
milk and the result has been that the
milk they yielded has increased nearly
90 per cent. This is the oldest notion of
feeding; it is, in fact, perpetual motion

Pen Picture of Joseph Chamberlain.

Joseph Chamberlain, chief of the Bir-

ical dissidents in the coming parliament,
has dudish look, the dogmatic school
master manner which belongs to English
provincials, and even the eye-glass which
he perpetually carries has an antagonistic
air. He does not create sympathy as q
speaker, but he is close and cutting. He
is wonderfully boyish in appearance, and
though turned 80 might well pass for IS,
with his light, active figure and gay
dress, decorated invariably with a rich,
fresh orchid.-Chicago Times.

Some Eramples Of curious Intergraftlng.

Some Examples of Curious Intergrafting.
In Germany, Strasburgsr has success
fully grated stramonium species, com
mon tobacco, henbane, atnopa bella
donna, and petunia upon the common
potato plant. The most remarkable re-
suit is that, when datura stramonium
was grated upon a potato plant, the
normal-appearing potatoes borne by the
latter were found 70 be inpregnated
with atropine. 1t is not stated, how
ever, whether the tobacco gratis infected
the tubers with nicotine. Tschudy had
already grated the tomato upon the
potato, producing potatoes from the bot
tom and tomatoes from the top Of the
same plant. --Arkansaw Traveller.

NEW zEALAND's VOLCANOES.

Vivid Description OF the Tarawera Erup-
tion-yoIcanoes in Action.
The scene at the time of the eruption,
as 1t appeared to an eyewitness, is thus
described: aAt about 2 o'clock he was
awakened by rumbling noise like that
of an earthquake. He went outside the
door, but could see nothing, although it
was clear night. The noise proceeded
from Tarawera. Helooked around again
and saw huge mass of flame rise in the
heavens, and instantly lava and smoke
covered the ground. Soon after vol
ume Of flame issued from Runanga, close
to Tarawera. Large balls Of fire were
thrown from the gaping mouth toward
Taupo, this accompanied by terrible re-
ports, which shook the whole place.
Forked lightning followed close upon the
balls n fire; it resembled the wriggling
Of snakes; it returned to the crater,
forming the letter. " The roar was
tremendous. resembling the heaviest
thunder.
AAs each piece of hillside slipped into
the open basin large clouds of black dust
rose out of it and assembled to the
heavens. The fall of earth into the open
crater seemed to stop the fiery balls from
coming up but forked lightning still
continued. Dense volumes Of smoke
issued from the crater, going in various
directions. AS soon as Ruawhina stopped
sending forth its terrible balls of flame d
huge white cloud issued from the cap Of
Rotomahana, and heavy booming was
heard, followed by volumes Of white
compressed steam from Lake Rotoma-
hama. 1t rose with terrible velocity, and
seemed to be going toward Okaro lake.
This lake is about five miles from Lake
Rotomahana, and the appearance IL pre-
sented at times was something like a
huge boiling caldron, bubbling in all di.
rections.
Lightning then commenced to SHOOT
out from Mount KakarSmea. From the
whole mount there came sheets of flame
and myriads Of shooting stars like large
rockets. Shortly afterward shocks Of
earthquake were felt, accompanied by 4
noise resembling minutes guns, but
louder than the roar Of the heavi
est gun known. There was an oper
crater on Mount Kakarange, and imme
diately huge volume of dense blacl
smoke issued from it, and the country
all around began to get dark. In hall
an hour it was so black thatno one could
see their hands in front of them. While
this was going on shower Of pieces o.
lava the size of peas came down will
terrible swiftness, and with such force
as to be almost as dangerous as bullets.
