4 Biz steer.

The Colorado State Board of Agriculture have sold the big Gal loway steer Jumbo, to the Denver Packing company for S250, the hide to go to Mir. Matthews, of Kansas City, who presented the animal to the International Range association. Jumbo was turned over to the Agricultural college. and there efforts have been made by Professor Blouut to add more weight to the mountain of flesh. but 1t was found that very little could be done in that direction. Last June Jumbo weighed 2,4O2 pounds. On the Both of Noyem- Der he weighed 2,452. Most of this gain was in September. and Octo- Der, the gain in November being only two pounds. During the five months the animal consumed l. 630 pounds of chop feed; 1,7S3 pounds of hay; 3.424 pounds of roots; a total of 6,S3S pounds.

Presiden; CIeveiand's Phrases.

No person whose official station has given him opportunities to ad- dress the public has added so many memorable phrases to the language as President Cleveland. We do not mean sentences like Let no guilty man escape" or Public office is a public trust" but merely those incomplete but happy combinations of words which, whether for aptitude or od- dity. stick in the public mind. We believe that Mir. Cleveland's con trlbutlons of this kind are four:
 Offensive craftsmanship"
 'Pernicious activity
 ''1nnocuous desuetude."
 "Ghoulish Glee."
 MT. Cleveland seems to have al- most monopolized the faculty for this sort of expression. No other President has approached him Mir. Tilden produced one remark able phrase only, Futile dalli- ance," but we do not recall any thing similar in the utterances of Lincoln, Grant, Garfield or Arthur. New York Sun.

The Texas Brak 2 man.

The following story is told about Mir. Hoxie, and in railroad circles is believed to be true narratives:
 Ii. NJ. Hoxie, of the Missouri Pacific railroad, was noted in rail road circles for his proneness to give his interiors good, sound lec- lures on the slightest provocation. Hoxie was hard worker, and all who have ever seen him know Low roul d shouldercd he was. One day brakeman called on him with a letter request for a pass in his pocket, leaving the door wide open as he entered the office, and wear ing his hat on his head in true brakeman style. In loud voice he called out: "fs Hoxie in?,,
 At this the general manager looked up from his desk and re- piled:
 Yes, sir, Mir. Hoxie is in."
 The brakeman took the letter out of his pocket, grabbed the corner of the envelope between his thumb and forefnger and sent the missive spinning and whirling upon his superior's desk. Hoxie looked up in amazement, and said:
 "Now, young man, would it not look better for you, when coming into gentleman's office, and es- pecially when asking a favor, to remove your hat, wipe your feet, and inquire in quiet voice: 'ls Mr. Hoxie in?"
 The brakeman looked at the General Manager a moment, asked for his letter, got it, went out, clos ed the door, and in a moment marched in again, closed the door softly after him, wiped his feet, put his hat under his arm, and in quired, in the most polite manner possible:
 "Is Mir. Hoxie, the General Manager, inY'
 T am Mr. Hoxie," replied the General Manager "What can I do for you?"
 You can go to hell, you round shouldered son of-a-gunm replied the brakeman. II don't want none of your favors-Tm from Texasw-Exchange.

What Is in n Ton of Coal.

From a ton of ordinary gas coal may be produced 1,5O0 pounds of coke, 20 gallons of ammonia water, and 14O pounds of coal tar. By destructive distillation the coal tar will yield 696 pounds of pitch, IT pounds of creosote, II pounds heavy oils, 9.5 pounds of naphtha yellow, 6.3 pounds naphthaline, 4.75 pounds naphthol, 25 pounds alazarin, 2.4 pounds solvent napht- ha, Is pounds phenol, 1.2 pounds aurine, II pounds benzinc, II pounds aniline, orr of pound toluidine, O.46 of a pound anthra cine, and 09 of a pound toluene.

To Take Ont Ink.

To take ink out of linen dip the spot in pure melted tallow, then wash out the tallow, and the ink will come out with it. This is said to be unfailing. Milk will re- move ink iron linen or colored muslins, when acids would beruin- ous, by soaking the goods until the spot is very faint and then rubbing and rinsing in cold water. An inkstand was turned over upon a white tablecloth; a servant threw over it a mixture of salt and pep per plentifully and all traces of it disappeared. Or you may try the following: Take one ounce of sal-ammoniac, one ounce salts of tartar, wine bottle of cold soft water. Well mix the above, wet the linen thoroughly with the mix ture, and repeat the process till the spots disappear.

Jay Gould's saucy comments upon Judgc Gresham's last decis- ion led the New York Post to sug- gest that the Judge should issue an attachment against him for contempt, and lock him up in jail the next time he goes to or through the State of Illinois. Such a movement would, we venture to say, add more to Gould.s stock of knowledge and to the Judges popularity than any decision he could possibly make. A more familiar acquaintance with cur best Judges is, in fact, what Mr. Gould most needs"
