Desperate State of Affairs Resulting From
the Drouth I'm Texas.
FORT WORTH, Tex, July 23.-The terri
bic drouth in the northwest counties has
been severe on cattle, which suffer for
water as well as grass. In self-defense the
ranchmen are drifting or driving them to-
ward the southeast. and this is strenuously
resisted by the farmers who are greatly
damaged thereby. Last night word came
from Decatur, in Wise County, that 10000
head Of cattle are near Chico in Jack
County, coming into Wise County. This
herd is backed by sixty well armed
nen, who are determined the cattle shall
reach the west fork of the Trinity river.
Tie farmers of the immediate section are
arming and swear the cattle must be turned
back. A large squad has gone to the front
with five days ratiOns, prepared TO fight if
necessary, and they are well armed. To
day the news was carried from farm to
farm and the sturdy planters are turning
nut to man to aid their brethren in the
front and join them if necessary The
county is in ferment and very serious
trouble is lOuked for. To turn back means
death to the cattle of this vast herd. To
come on through the settled county means
fences destroyed, crops ruined and the
meagre supply of stock water absorbed.
Both sides are simply ciamoring for bread
and butter, and are therefore determined
and desperate

ACTIVE GIRLS.
Young Women as They Are and as The,
Should Be.


If healthy girls are unfortunately not
as common as they ought to be, they
are not rare. But how small is the
number of those who may fairly be
called strong! Yet every well-deyel-
oped young woman ought to possess
strength, not only sufficient, but to
spare.
She should be able. of course, to per-
form her daily tasks and enjoy her or
binary amusements without exhaustion;
and, indeed, this ability is what most
girls appear to accept as the test of
their bodily condition 1t does not APP
pear to occur to them that q woman is
being designed by nature to possess
great endurance and activity. She
ought to. delight in putting forth her
power. She should find a walk of from
five to ten miles along pleasant country
, roads a keen enjoyment, and return
from it luxuriously tired, with the COM
Portable consciousness that she will
sleep well that night, and rise COM
pletely rested the next morning. She
should be able to leap ditch of re-
spectacle dimensions with no sensation
of breathlessness or fear. She should
also be able to run quarter of a mile
without painting and feeling her heart
thump for a quarter of an hour after
ward. How few there are who can do
these things!
The ordinary young woman is ''ready
to drop" after a walk of two miles.
She never exercises for the sake of en-
joyment. She plays tennis a little,
perhaps, but she is apt TO be used up"
afterwards, and spend the rest of the
day on the.sofa with book. If she is
at the seaside, she probably runs a
little, climbs little and swims little
as well, but not with the vigor and ex-
uberance which ought to make the
glory of those sports.
There are agreeable exceptions to
this rule. We have seen young lady
who could not only row as far and as
fast as most young men, but who was,
on board a yacht, quite as skillful and
active sailor as any man there, hand
ling the ropes and holding the tiller
like born captain, and with a grace
and ease which were the admiration of
the beholders. Another young woman
cOnfesseS that she can never see a steep
hill without longing to run down it,
nor a nice level stretch of road without
wishing to try race with her COM
panions.
Surely, this is as it should be. Youth,
for girls as well as for young men,
should be a time of Astounding vigor,
when the blood leaps in the veins, and
when nothing more is required than
country air and liberty to make it as
difficult for the feet to keep still as for
The heart to feel heavy.-N Y. Ledger.

LONDON, July 23.-ParticuIars of the
wreck OF the French bark Guichen, on Bird
Island Oh the Australian coast briefly re-
ported by cable, have been received in the
mail which arrived to-day. The vessel
went ashore in a terrible storm. Two boats
were launched, one of which was immedi-
ately swamped and its five occupants
dashed TO death upon The rocks. The other
boat, containing the Captain and nine men,
remained in the vicinity of the wreck all
night At daylight not a vestige of the
vessel remained, and they put TO sea in the
hope Of being picked up. The supply of
food and water was exhausted on the sec
ond day, but no help seemed at hand. On
the third day the survivors suffered the
most terrible agony from starvation
and thirst but il was mutually
agreed that they would die one By
one until all were gone rather than resort
TO cannibalism to prOlOng life. On tho
fourth day seven of the party were eX-
Eausted and deliriOus, and OIL the fifth day
but one man was capable of acting as look
out He, too, was about to succumb 10 ex-
haustiOn when just at dusk his white flag
of distress was sighted by the crew of the
schooner Jesse Matilda. and few minutes
later the shipwrecked mariners were on
board of that vessel. Six of the number
were at the point OF death, but heroic rene
dies were applied and they recovered.
They were subsequently landed at Keppel
Bay, and cared for by the inhabitants aud
colonial authorities. They are now on
their way back tO France.

He had to do it that way, for he had

Some women have very poor Opin-

suddenly less madly enthusiastic.
''Yes, Reginald, papa is poor, and
we are proud of it, very proud, for he
is honest"
This was fresh news to the young
man.
"And a Congressman" said Regi-
maid, in a reflective tone.
Eyes, Reginald, but as poor as he is,
he will have glorious record to leave

Reginald pickedup his hat and cane,
brushed the powder off his coat-front,

drew himself up to his full stature.

A Sedalia Man Has "A Unique Experience
With Pettis County Snake.
ST. LOUIS, July 24.-AdOlph Riecke, a
former popular butcher of Sedala, but at
present residing OF a farm ten miles south
west Of that city, underwent an experience
yesterday morning that he does not care to
repeat at an early day.
Having business at a small stream on his
farm, where lot of driftwoOd accumulated
on the occasion of the last heavy rains, Mr..
Riecke repaired to the spot and began re-
moving the rubbish. Suddenly he ceased
his operations and stood aghast, for direct
ly in front of him, with head erect and
mouth open. stood a monster snake of the
species known as the COW snake.
Frightened half out of his wits, and
scarcely knowing what he did, Mr. Riecke
seized the reptile around the neck and then
began most desperate battle. First the
snake would be on top and then Riecke.
In this manner they tusseled for fully ten
minutes, when Recke got in his work On
the reptiles head and finally succeeded in
MASKING it. The snake is said to have
been the largest ever seen in PettiS County.

NEW Po9LTRY BREEDS.
Points OF Beauty and Utility Combined in
the American Fowl.

u
the American Fowl.
Americans have the reputation of
being great inventive geniuses and in
labor-saving machinery, all kinds OF
new and unique devices, they certainly
lead the world. 1t is also conceded by
all nations that America has taken the
lead in the breeding AID improve ment
of the domestic fowls. No other
country has done half a; much within
the last thirty or forty years in propa-
eating new and beautiful breeds and
popularizing the love for fine poultry,
as our own. The crossing of different
breeds to bring about the best results
has been brought nearly to a complete
science in this country. The beautiful
speckled plumage of the Plymouth
Rocks, the American Dominiques, the
laced Wyandottes. all and many
more, due to the progressive geniuseS
of American gallicuture. Another
popularity of our American invented"
birds. is that they combine the most
beautiful plumage with the most useful
and practical qualities. You would
search in vain the yards of Asia, Africa
or any European nation for such
speckled beauties as our Plymouth
Rocks and Wyandottes. France. in
utility Of breeds exceeds us of course,
but every point in their fowls is made
subservient to that one point. and
hence the fancy" is not stimulStcG.
England perhaps runs much more in
the fancy" direction, but American
fanciers and breeders have combined
in the new breeds they have originated.
all the most excellent points of beauty
and utility. Our birds have also struck
the happy medium on size, and on the
golden mean" between the bulky
Asiatic and light weight Spanish and
Leghorns while prolific egg pro-
<ducers, their carcasses when served up
present very tempting dish. The
white breeds of our American birds are
also coming forward with all the vir-
tues OF their progenitors with the adj
vantage to the amateur of breeding
truer to color Of plumage.-Cor. Osio

Isit Really consumptione

Many a case supposed to be radical lung
disease is really one of liver complaint and
indigestion. but unless that diseased
liver can be restored to healthy action, it
will so clog the lungs with corrupting mat

then indeed we have consumption, which
is scrofula of the lungs, in its worst form.
