Discipline Among Circus Employees.

Life on the road Is far from easy for .
circus company; unlike a theatrical COM
bination, it rarely stops for more than q
single day in one place. Early in the
morning the destination is reached and the
trainmen and tentmen begin to unload the
wagons and haul out the tableau cars.
Then the tent is pitched and the perform
ers assemble in the dressing tents and
prepare for the parade. In this all take
part, and it is looked upon by the princi-
pals as the prime nuisance of the day. The
parade over the dressing rooms are once
more occupied, and soon all are ready for
the afternoons performance.
Discipline behind the scenes Is strict
indeed. A system of fines keeps vagrant
spirits in check, and though to an out
slider all is hustle and confusion, every
thing moves with the regularity of clock
work. Each turn" as an appearance In.
the ring Is called, has to be made to the
second, for should the performer be even
triie beyond time he or she would dis

the close of which a rush is made for the
train, and the hunks In the sleeping cars
arranged so as to occupy much less room
than those In Pullman car (there are
sometimes three or four tiers) are soon
occupied, and before the train is under

tent and train men are the last to turn
in, for they have been engaged in strik-
ing the canvas and getting the animal
cages and tableaux cars safely on board.
They work with Incredible quickness,
however, and soon all is ship shape and
the train Is rushing onward with the

Gold and silver Product.

A valuable report from the director of
the mint states that the total product OF
gold and silver In the United States during
1887 exceeded $3.50, 100000 OF this total
the gold was $33, 093, 900. California Is
the largest producer Of the yellow metal,
the yield of her mines exceeding S13, 000,-
900. The director estimates that last
year the net gain to the country Of bull
lion anu coin by imports was $2S. 900, 900,
and that we used In the industrial arts
about S14. 900. 900 worth of gold and g..
600. 900 worth of silver. The product Of
these precious metals in the United States
appears to be more than one.third that Of
the whole world. In 1885 the world rro-
duced about 500. 000, 900 of gold and $780,.
100000 of silver. II. however, of our
production of these metals Is large for
our population, our consumption Of them
is proportionately large and seemingly ex-
travagant The worlds annual consump-
ton Of gold and silver, as nearly as can
be determined, Is respectively $4,000
900 and $22. 100000. The population of
the United States cannot now he more
than per cent. that of the world, but
we use In the industrial arts not far from
80 per cent. of all the gold and 90 per
cent. of all the silver similarly consumed
by all the world.-New York Herald.

Lifa on a Cattlo Ranch.

The men are called at o'clock in the
morning, and, after hasty breakfast of
bacon and coffee, some are detailed by the
foreman to ride out and drive all the cattle
they can find within q certain radius into
camp, while the others keep them In o

as they are oil in, the representatives Of
each ''outfit, in turn, ride through them
and cut out every animal with their brand
upon it and herd them apart. Occasion
ally COW breaks away from the herd and
q rider starts after her at full speed, and
after an exciting chase drives her back
again.
When the cutting out is completed
each "outfit" begins to brand its calves.
A rider ropes a calf by the hind leg,
throws it and drags 1t toward the fire;
one man then holds it by the hind legs.
while another SITS on. its shoulder and 1t

Origin of the Cattle Range.

The origin of the range cattle growing
industry in the United States dates back
to about the Fifteenth century, when
horned cattle were introduced from Spain
by way of Mexico among the Pueblo In
dams residing along the east bank of the
Rio Grande. Later on the early colonists
to the republic of Texas took with them
herds of horned cattle, and In this way
Texas became the mother of the range
cattle industry in the United States.
Here 1t was almost wholly confined until
after the rebellion. Prior to the late war
nearly the whole Of Texas was given up
to cattle growing. After the war the dis
banding Of the great armies lessened the
demand and Texas swarmed with great
herds in excess of the market demand and
local consumption. Cattle were of little
value, and yet these herds were rapidly
increasing What was to be done? The
more enterprising ranchmen of Texas be-
gan to look for new ranges and markets
that would consume the enormous surplus.
California then had but few cattle. The
states of Kansas and Nebraska and the
territories west Of the Missouri river were
sparsely populated. The vast region Of
magnificent grazing area to be found
there, and upon which the buffalo roamed,
readily offered the temptation for field
of experiment.
If the wild bison could subsist on these
plants and in the valleys and parks of
the Rocky Mountain country, why could
not cattle? Winter and summer the
buffalo found sufficient grass. and hence
the more enterprising Texas cattlemen
came to the conclusion that domestic cat
tie, bred and raised upon the prairie grass
of Texas and left to their own exertions
for a subsistence, would be adapted to the
fine grasses of the plains of the west and
northwest states and territories, and
where at that time only the buffalo grazed.
Thus the study of the life and habits of
the buffalo led to the idea which has made
this the greatest range and cattle growing
country in the world. Not few Texas
men came, and some from California, and
all drove their herds into this newer
country. Their success caused others to
follow, and eastern spectators were at
tracted by the fine opportunities for In
vestment. Thus sprung up this wonder
full industry, for soon the unoccupied ter
ritory of the plains country of the west
was filled with great herds of grass raised
cattle-cattle that knew not home or
master, and to which grain would have
been almost a scarecrow. And with all
this there came a cowboy, sui generis,
about whom there clusters so much Of
romance. Denver Cor. Globe Democrat.
