Savage Human Brutes.

A fragrant case Of brutality to q horse
was seen by the stream Of people In
passing Casino street ut 8 O'Clock this
morning. A negro, who drives. Landa's
grain wagon, had two horses, one wild
unbroken broncho hitched to the wagon.
The broncho had stalled, and the negro,
with the assistance of another black
man, worked for Is minutes beating and
kicking, hauling and jerking the beast
without success. SO severely did they
handle the horse that his mouth was ter
ribly torn by the bit, and bleeding, and
quiyering with fright and pain, the poor
beast presented indeed a pitiful sight,
and was an eloquent appeal to our tor
pid.Sooiety for the Prevention Of Cruelty
to Animals.

THE vAGARIEs OF WATER.
Some Interesting Notes of the Natura
Water Supply in 2apata County.


Strangers visiting Texas are often surprised
that s'ockmen having thousands of dollars AT
stake every year do not seek by aTtesian wells
and other means to provide water for their
cattle, from the want of which many die yearly
or become unsuitable by reason of their poor
condition. OF course water is always obtain
able but the vagaries of its course Is remark
able As an instance OF this Mr. John Wor-
sham, the owner of a large ranch few miles
from Pena, Lapata county, now visiting the
city, gives some peculiar facts There has
been no rain In that section for about year,
and four places have been bored TO the depth
of 100 feet without finding trace of water,
and yet at the Los AnimOs ranch, within seven
miles from the places bored is an indentaton

plaza, where the SIMPLE scoopIng Of few in-
ches of soil with the hand VIII secure a penti.

somewhat brackish; and on adjacent sand
hills, fine cool pure water Is easily obtained.
Mr.. WOrsham further says that although the
drought prevents the raising Of any crops in
his section this year, heavy dew frequently
falls, and thus they have a good supply OF
grass, maisly of the sage species, and water ID
obtained AT the Rcndowa and Los Animos
ranches. The cattle therefore In his section

AN ODD ORNAMENT.
It Is the Fashion Now to Paint Faces on
Window-Shades.

While passing up Fifth avenue the
other evening reporter for the Mail
and Express noticed the bust of hand
some woman shining through the ele-
giant gold-tinted shades which adorned
the windows of fashionable residence.
The supposition at first was that the
shade reflected the figure of some belle
within, but closer inspection established
the fact that it was the image of a
prominent star actress artistically paint
ed on the shade. CHANGING at the shade
OF the other window, the bust of the
immortal Grant was seen. The old
Generals face was well reproduced.
Speaking of the innovation yesterday to
dealer in window drapery, he said:
Eyes, it is a new wrinkle and will be-
come popular. Only few persons
know of it. The shades are made to
order and bust suiting the taste of the
purchaser is placed on them. They are
hand-painted; but the greatest feature
of the novelty is that the figures are in
visible during the day. In justice to the
patentee l cannot divulge the secret of
the operation. They are painted in the
ordinary way, but chemical process
conceals the picture in daylight The
likeness is not visible from the interior
of the building. 1t can only be seen on
the street after dark sets in and the gas
is lit in room. The man who holds
the patent right is making a barrel OF
money. The subject of the picture varies
in conformity with the taste and desire
of the purchaser. Some like the faces
of actresses, others demand those of
prominent statesmen who once lived,
but the majority seem to think the Wis
ages of ancient historians, authors,
kings, queens, emperors, and warriors
are appropriate. There has been lit
tie call for landscapes and marine paint
ings, but the artists now employed are
too busy to spread over new field just
yet, and so none have been painted
But that branch of the business will re-
ceive an early attention. Yes, / think
it clever innovation. Poor people,
however, cannot afford to indulge in
the shades. They cost S75 per window
to paint. Wait and see how popular the
craze will become before Christmas. y

A Boston newspaper man says that
Greenough's statue of Franklin in that
city is worth studying, because it illus
trates theory for which the sculptor
had the authority of the great physi-
ognomist Lavater. 1t is that each side
of the human face represents different
phases of human nature, man being
dual animal, with double set Of
characteristics. On one side of the
bronze face of Franklin Greenough has
depicted the expression of the man OF
science who drew the lightning from
the clouds; on the other he has repre-
sented the features of the author of the
homely philosophy embodied in Poor
Richards Almanac.

The American Cowboy.

The cowooy Of today. especially on the
northern ranges, is OF entirely different
type from the original cowboy Of Texas.
New conditions have produced the
change. The range cattle business Of
Kansas, Nebraska. Colorado, Wyoming,
Montana and Dakota is, as already stated.
a new business. Those engaged in it as
proprietors are chiefly from the states
situated east Of the Mississippi river and,
north Of the Indian Territory. Among
them are many Englishmen, Scotchmen,
Frenchmen and Germans Of large means,
embracing titled men who have embark
ed in the business quite extensively.
Many Of these came to America original-
~ as tourists pr for the purpose of hunt
|ing buffalo, but the attractiyeness Of the
cattle business arrested them. and they
have become virtually. II not through the
