The Loco Weed.

Thousands of cattle are killed annually in
Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico. etc. by this
loco weed. a stock grower at Las Vegas, N.
NJ, says when his horses get a taste Of this
wed, so bewitching is the taste, they will
eat nothing else. Horses poor in flesh seek
it more greedily than those in better health.
And when once under the influence of this
weed the horse will refrain from all other
food, but is wild in seeking more Of the loco
weed. They are much like tho slave to in
toxicating liquor. They become insane in
appetite for their destroyer.
1t is pretty positively stated that it is not
the poisonous nature of the weed, but that on
nearly all the stalks Of this weed, near the
ground, there are found red specks, which
are the eggs of the loco worm. In eating the
plant the cattle and horses eat it so greedily
and thoroughly that they bite it close to the
ground, and swallow the eggs. In the stom-
ach these eggs are converted into worms, and
are the true cause of the animals death.
The man says he finds the same worms in the
dead animals stomachs that he finds on the
loco weed after the red eggs are Matched.

He did so, but the momont he touched the
ground he found himself in the hands of
three strange mouse men. They were police
men, and thought he had been stealing, he
who was almost frightened to death because
there were burglars in his room.
''You are our prisoner" said the largest,
in a deep, gruff voice. They bound him fore
paw and hind paw with cords till he squeaked
in pain. Then they went through his pock-
cts and took every cent Of money from him.
Then two Of them led him to prison. He lay
all night upon a hard bench in a stone cell.
They tried him next day, and he had not a
friend in the crowd. They sentenced him to
go to prison AMI do all the meanest work for
the mice. Fripsco was very unhappy, and
schemed night and day how he could get
out. He was quite satisfied now that his
W home was the incest place in the world.
But he was a cute, bright mouse, and was
too smart to let his cruel masters know that
he was thinking of escape. He was very
good and docile, and did all be was told in
the best way. So by and by they let him
have a little more liberty. He did not try to
run away, and next they gave him still more
liberty. Then one fine morning Fripsco
skipped out and went home as fast as his
paws could carry him. He had no rat horse
now, and had to trudge on foot, but he was
very glad to do even that. He reached home
all ragged and soiled, with his feet blistered
and the hair scratched off him. But they
were so glad to see him that they never
scolded him one bit. As for Fripsco he
lived happy at home ever after. He had had
quite enough of seeing the world.

Carrying Large vessels 9ftrIani Ha
droda o. Nlilea-HoW ItIs nana
Many times within Che last five years
large caravans have Travelled along tAs
paths that lead far into Africa, carrying
strips Of iron or steel, boxes Of Fige3
and bolts, and sections Of boilers, paddle
wheels and smoke-stacEs. After many
weeks these expeditions have heaped
their loads upon The shore Of some great
lake or mighty river, where white men
and their native assistants have welded
the hundreds Of pieces together and
finally launched complete and perfect
steamboats, upon the waters Of inEsrior
Africa.
Eleven steamboats, and one sailing YES
sci are now plying upon the great lakes
and rivers. It isonly twenty-eight years
since Burton and Spoke were the frat
white men to visit Lakes Victoria and
Ta~ganyika. Only within the past ten
years have they and the third great lake
Nyassa been carefully explored, the up
per waters Of the Congo visited, and the
Alma river traced on the maps. On all
these inland waters, and also on the
upper Niger, the whistle Of the steam
boat is now heard, and many natives
have learned to welcome the puffy craft
as offering them a chance to trade.
1t was a costly undertaking to trans
port these vessels hundreds Of miles over
land, far into the depths Of Africa.
Small as the steamboats, are compared
with over river boats, they weigh from
$4,000 to 80, 900 pounds apiece. From
800 to 1900 porters were required to
transport each boat to its destination. "A
few Of the Upper Congo steamers. how
ever, were mounted sections on steel
wagons with broad tires, and Mr.. Stan
ley tells of "the awful toll Of dragging
these heavy steamers overland before
they are set atioat above the ~cataracts."
These steamers were. nearly all built in
England, and they pulled up and down
English rivers on trial trips before
they were taken to pieces and
shipped to Africa. Serious delay was
caused if a single important piece was
lost. After the little French steamer
due had nearly reached the Alma river
early last year it was discovered that ona
of the most necessary pieces was missing
and the boat lay useless on the shore for
many months until a duplicate piece
could be obtained from Europe.

summer On Lake Nyassa is manned.

Now that the season Of cyclones and tor
nadoes has fairly opened, would it not be
well for those living in regions where these
destructive visitations are likely to occur with
the greatest violence to construct "cyclone
cellarsP In an emergency such a structure
conveniently at hand would often be the
safety Of the family, and anyhow its cost
would be amply repaid by the reassuring
feeling that at the worst one would always
have a place of refuge for himself and those
dear to him whenever whirling destruction
should threaten. During the havoc wrought
at st Cloud, Sank Rapids and Rice's Sta
zion, Mimi, a little over a week ago, many
who persisted would have had ample time
to lind safety in such places had they
existed. A hole in the ground or in
a hillside, under or quite close to the
dwelling, is what is needed. 1t should be
e~xcavated from an ordinary house cellar, so
that those i'll it could not be crushed by fall
ing walls or timbers, as they might easily be
in an ordinary cellar. A small ~brick-lined
room excavated from an ordinary cellar,
with an arched brick roof some distance
beneath the surface of the ground, would be
the safest and best protection. Where even
remote danger threatens the lives of all that
are dear, neither the prospect of a triaing
outlay Of cash or labor, nor the smallness of
the risk, nor the fear Of the neighbors' ridi-
cule will deter a prudent man from taking
every precaution. Although few such storms
occurred last year before August, yet III
lives are known to have been lost by them.
In 1884, in February ard March alone, 67J
lives were lost by this cause, and in 1883 500
were lost, the worst storms occurring in
April and May.-Rursl New Yorker.

to be issuing I take a little wire cage to the
swarming colony, and usually find the queen
just in front of the hive trying to fly. The
open end of the wire cage is put over her,

is shut in. Then, as soon as the swarm is all
out | close the entrance Of the old
colony and turn it round facing the
opposite direction and two or three feet
from where it stood. l then place my
hive for the new swarm on the old
stand and put the Gagged queen in it on top
of tie frames under the quilt, and the work
is done. This occupies from three to five
minutes, By this time another swarm or

Educating Horses.

Professor Oscar r, Gleason, who has been
giving son remarkable exhibitions in the
way OF %subduing horses, has a few simple
principles which he applies to produce bis
astonishing results. First, he says a horse
cannot think of two things at once. To
break an animal of bad habits the professor
begins by confusing him in some way till he
does not know what he is about. Not know
ing what to do then, he gives in. Another
point is that people do not talk to their horses
enough. MIR. Gleason says they can be made
to understand like children if they are talked
to. They are more intelligent, indeed, than
people are sometimes, for they know when
they are subdued and give in all at once,
Often a horse does not obey because he does
not know what is wanted of him. A horses
bad habits are always taught him by some
bad or ignorant person. He never has them
by nature. By patience, kindness, firmness
and skill, the worst horse alive can be cured
of bad habits. Again, never whip a balk-
ing horse after he has started. That will
make him think next time that if he starts
he Will be whipped again, and he will con-
clude not to nudge. When q horse has COM
pretended, and done what you have told him
to do, pat him, and talk to him kindly and
encouragingly, Professor Gleason has writ
ten a book, with pictures explaining his
methods. One curious thing which he does,
he says anybody may do. He cracks a
whip to attract the horses attention. Then
he goes up close to him and looks him in the
eye. Then he backs off slowly, his eye fixed
the animal still. The horse follows him
all over the ground. Try it.

Finding Buried Treasure Near Can

CANTON, MISS. May 18th, 1886.
Editor Commercial Herald:
Yesterday morning, shortly before
day light a body of masked men, some
twelve or fifteen in number, heavily
armed and well mounted, rode into
town and proceeded to the county Jail
and demanded of the sheriff the per-
son of Henry Wellington, the negro
who killed young Goodloe near Liv-
ingston, in the county some four weeks
ago. 10 avoid violence and to protect
public property, Sheriff Reid allowed
the mob to examine the jail in search
for the object of their wrath. They
were disappointed however in their
search, for the prisoner had been re-
moved to a place of safety. The party
then mounted their horses and quietly
rode out of town.
Yesterday afternoon while Bob Hart
and Dave Burns, two colored men,
were blowing in a field one mile north
east of town, they plowed up three old
tin cans containing something over one
thousand dollars in gold and silver
coin, supposed to have been buried
there during the war. 1t is needless to
add that the two darkies are greatly
rejoiced with their sudden good for.
