The civilized or domesticated gaucho
is a gambler, a loae aud thief. lie
is numerous throughout the country,
and makes business Of stealing cattle,
like tho "ruStler' Of our western plains.
They have a curious way Of removing
the brands, or ohliterahng them, aud
changing tho appearance OF cattle. A
poultice made OF a weed that grows on
the pampas is applied to the brand and
sott0ns the hide SO that tho letters be-
come indistlnct. The horns Of tho ami.
nal are kept In ponltices Of boiling hot
meal until they are soft enough to be
twisted out Of their natural shape, aud
when the poultice Is removed they
harden again. The gaucho could teach
tho North American cattle thief a great
many clever tricks, for he Is an expert

VALUE OF A STILL TONGUE.
Men who Talk Too AIuoh Expose the
Secrets Of Their Business.

lscientiac Americana
An old, experienced Wall street
banker remarked in course OF converse.
ton with a reporter on one Of our OK.
changes, few days ago, that "a still
tongue was often a fortune" Tho idea
he wished to convey was that men who
talked too much expose the secrets ot
their business. A silent man iSgcuerally
the safest adviser; 10 thinks before
he speaks. and weighs we'll his words.
Some men arO as ready with their opin.
Ions as hungry man for dinner, all
that Is required Is the opportunity to
air them, Others are so voluJlc they
tell all they know about their own husi.
ness, and their neightors as we'll.
Generally you can take the measure OF
on inyeterats talker, as It's wind and
froth On the other hand, the man
who holds his tongue is not easily
fathomed. "Still water runs deep, D
with but little noise and friction, while
the shadows foam IN fret with constant
tumult.
Asa rule. the silent man Is mOthodl.
cal, painstaking, careful. lie Weighs
his words and pounds accurately.
in business he makes no iuSs
or parade; be transacts it, how
ever, with diligence and prudence.
Brag and vanity arc twins; together
thcp were born and together they will
die.
Conceit and toasting are poor ele-
mouts in trade Mrs put on as soon as a
little money is made usually have a
chill. Boosting OF big profits and a
speedy fOiGne to every listener shows a
lack Of gooI sense and sound iu lguent.
Men have lOtG hung on their own tcSti.
mOny, and merchants have failed from
too much tongue.
