Ebe bahamas are said to have been
settled as early as 1920, and their pop
nlatlon is estimated to be about 40, 600
souls. But they are listless, indo-
lent lot, to whom simple existence is
the highest aspiration. For the most
part the language is a curious mixture
OF the English, Spanish and negro
tongues. Sponge gathering, fishing,
conch gathering fruit picking and
wrecking constitute about all the la
Dor done. The islands swarm. with
these wreckers, nearly all good natur-
ed souls who regard everything cast
upon the shores, every vessel that
grounds upon the dangerous wrecks
ana Gays and every craft that can
oven be lured upon the rocks, as their
rightful gain, and receive all such
ocean salvage as if the blessing OF
Heaven accompanied it; though for
that matter our own government
permits quite as bad taste of things

off the coast of da.-Edgar l.

The World'a best Mutton.

The sweetest, tenderest, and most palatable
mutton in the world is that raised in Ireland
The Irish sheep grow larger than ours, they
feed on better pastures and their meat is
wholly free from that strong, "sheepy" taste
which makes ours so disagreeable to many
palates No American who has eaten the
mutton served in the Irish hotels will take
any other kind of meat while he stays there
The English mutton, though better than
ours, is far inferior to the Irish. American
mutton is sold in the English Irish and
Scotch markets, but it brings from three to
four pence less pound than the native pro-
ducts, and 10 one who con afford the latter
will take the former. Boston Globe

An out Of the way quarter of the world Is
the Mexican state of Yucatan, to most trav-
elers, but it appears to have caught the spirit
of progress. A recent traveller writes that
taxable property of the state is now valued
at S3,657,es3. The public schools supported
by the state number 202, and are attended by
upward of 1000 pupils. Colleges are located
at Merida for the study of law and medicine,
and Valladolid has an institute, conserva-
tory OF music, and academies The postal

Wounds in the viscera have always
been considered fatal. 1t is only
within the past two years that such
wounds have been successfully treated
and only about ten cases in that time
IN the United States. The cure, there
lore, OF a young man at Houston,
who was shot through the bowels, is a
great credit to the local physicians of
that place as the successful treatment
OF such wounds is to the medical
profession generally.

THEY srOoP TO FATE.

The glories Of our blood and state
Are shadows, not substantial things:
There Is no arinor against Fate;
Death lays his icy hand on kings:
Scepter and crown
Must tumble down,
And In the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked Scythe and spade.
Some men with swords may reap the field
And plant fresh laurels where they kill;
B,t their strong nerves at last must yield:
They tame but one another still.
Early or late
They stoop to Fate,
And must give up their murmuring breath
When they, pale captives, creep to Death.
The garlands wither on your brow:
Then boast no more your mighty deedsi
Upon Deaths purple altar now
See where the victor victim bleeds.
Your heads must come
To the cold tomb,
Only the actions of the Just
Smell sweet and blossom In their dust.

Dehorning Cattle.

The practice of dehorning cattle is rapid
ly increasing not only in the West, but in
some sections of the Eastern and Middle
States. The chief objection urged against
dehorning has been the cruelty of the
operation; a lesser one is that 1t detracts
from the appearance of the animal. The
second objection remains, but the great
majority of those who haYe practiced de-
horning contend that it is no more painful
If as painful, as other operations generally
practlced. However this may be, it is fair
ly safe to conclude that dehorning, care
fully performed, is not dangerous opera
tion,, The arguments advanced in favor of
dehorning cattle are: First, the preven-
tion of terrible accidents in handling yici-
GUS cattle, especially bulls; second, that the
dehorned cattle can be turned loose in
sheds and stalls without fear of their injur-
ing each other, even # they are more or
less crowded The subject has received
considerable attention this season at the
farmers institutes and clubs, and if reports
of these meetings may be relied upon the
farmers and breeders who have expert
mented in dehorning their cattle almost
with one accord favor the practice. From
these and other sources it appears that
the preferred age at which to dehorn is in
the second year of the animals life, and
| spring is he season favored. The opera.
tion, it is averred, is more successful in
moderate weather, than in either extremes
of heat or cold. Preparatory to the opera
tion the animals head is made fast; then
the horns are sawed off with suitable saw
close to the hair, where soft place occur:
