Life on a Cattle Ranch.

The men are called at 0 o'clock In the
morning, and, after q hasty breakfast of
bacon and coffee, some are detailed by the
foreman to rid out and drive all the cattle
they can find within a certain radius into
camp, while the others keep them In q
herd, when they are driven In. As soon
as they are all in, the representatives of
each outfit. +" in turn, ride through them
and nut out every animal with their brand
upon 1t and herd them apart. Occasion
ally q COW breaks away from the herd and
a 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 1t and drags 1t toward the FIRE;
n man then holds 1t by the hind legs,
while another sits on It's shoulder andit
is branded on Its side and has its ear
notched. This is an exciting scene as the
calves are ~bleating, the men shouting,
roping and wrestling with them and the
fires are blazing. Sometimes when they
rope a vigorous young steer they have
great difficulty In holding him and 1t re-
quires five or six men to do 30. The night
Is divided into watches of two hours
length and the men take turns In keeping
the cattle in a herd. 1t Is the most ex.
citing part of the cattle business, but 1t
h a very hard life, as a man Is In the
saddle all day and only gets q few hours
sleep.-W. Lynn Wilson in Detroit Free

The oontagion of Yawnine.

did you ever notice how contagious
yawning ISL" said a round faced young
man waiting for a Harlem train the other
afternoon ut the Park place station OF
the Sixth Avenue Elevated road. You
can make any man yawn If you go about
1t properly" continued the young man.
~ have to travel up and down to Harlem
a good deal, and l amuse myself that way.
Women yawn oftener than men, and fat
men oftener than lean men. The best
time to make them yawn Is early In the
morning and late at night. Then all they
want is a hint and off they go. One night
last week l sat next to an old gentleman.
He got on at Chambers street and rode up
to Forty-second street. made him yawn
twenty-seven times. Then / was tired,
but the old fellow had gone into the
habit, and thought he would split his
jaws, he kept them SO far apart"
The young man had hardly seated him
self in the car before he turned around
and stared straight Mt a workingman op-
posite, who, of course, looked at him.
Then the young man leaned his head lazily
against the window, closed his eyes,
opened his mouth very wide and began to
yawn with great elaboration and an air
of utter WEAKNESS. The man In the blue
overalls became interested and stared IN
tently ut the wide open mouth and the
closed eyes The young man put up his
hand in affectation of covering his mouth,
and then, as If it was no use to try to
check an overpowering impulse, he drew
his hand away, threw his head still fur
Their back and uttered that sound peculiar
to the hearty yawner-ho-ho-h no. A mo-
ment later the man In the blue ~overalls
gave evidence of a twitching of the jaws,
a spasm shot across his checks and then
his mouth opened and he yawned SO wide
that 1t appeared as though he were going
to divide and the top of his head would
go on up into space. The workingmau
was now started, and all the way up he
kept yawning every few moments. Then
the young man turned his attention to an
old lady opposite with equal success

The BITING Tongue.

SANDER attacks us from behind. The
bite is rarely felt unless it is malignant
and persistent. Disease too often steals
upon us through a vital channel. The
air we breathe affects the lungs-if it be
mslarious it enters the blood, if it change
too quickly in the temperature it pro-
duces disease of the throat. etc. Whether
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is taken to
prevent or to remedy the various forms
of disease produced by miasma. such as

to be ane Elective and thorough remedy
one which does not only ameliorate the
symptoms Of the maladies of this type, but
eradicates their cause. Dyspepsia, liver

Making q Rubber Shoe.

Supplementary to the great shoemaking
business here is the rubber industry, for
which Boston is the great center In this.
country. Forty million dollars worth Of
rubber shoes and boots ere sold in the.
modern Athens annually. The raw ma
terial comes from Para, Brazil, in huge
Jumps, which the natives make by dipping
sticks in the sap of the caoutchouc tree.
and turning them round and round with.
frequent plunges into the heated rubber,
over hot fire. These Jumps, upon reach
ing the factory, are cut in slices. which
are run through rollers and pressed out,
thin and fat like pancakes. The sheets
thus obtained are next put through other
rollers, heated to high temperature. and
Incidentally amalgamated with compost
tion of lampblack, sulphur and lithargc.
which reduces them to o soft and putty
like consistency.
Finally, in this soft condition. they are
passed over steel rollers bigger than any
that have gone before. and actually ineor-
porated with the tissue Of a woolen cloth
which is destined to serve as the lining Of
the eventual boot or shoe. II you viii
try to pull apart the lining and outer coat
of a rubber sandal, you viii obtain no.
ton of the thoroughness with which this
part OF the manufacture Is performed
Tho rubber sheets, thus prepared, are
passed through a last set of rollers,
on which are engraved all the mark
ings and corrugations of the sole and
upper that appear in the completed article
The rubber sheets are now ready for the,
cutter, who turns ont the various pieces
by hand, with the aid of knife and pat
terms. The parts are then put together.
by other workmen with rubber tape.
When this much has been accomplished.
the shoe or boot is lasted in the usual
way, and, after being varnished. is allowed
to remain for eight hours in a room heated
TO tho Temperature of 235 degs- The heat
sets the varnish and tempers the rubber.
which is then termed ''vulcauized. The
stamping of the firm name on the sole is
the concluding operation. and then the
rubber shoe is ready for sale.-Boston

Sperm whales, the monsters of deep water,
are the richest prizes of the ocean, yielding
spermaceti from their brain cases. ivory
from their lower Jaws, rich, yellow oil from
their sides, and when diseased the almost
priceless ambergris from their entrails. Next
in value comes the right whale, the inhab-
itant of the Arctic, in whose mouth whale
bone is substituted for ivory. The upper jaw
is furnished with this substance, great pile
of which lies high on the beach at Herring
cove 1t is, perhaps, ten inches across where
it joins tie jaw, and reminds ono more of a
great comb with tangled hair attached than
anything else. The teeth" are closely set
and are three feet and more long, tapering
to a point and terminating in rope like fila
ments.
While the sperm whale feeds on squid at
the bottom of the ocean, the right whale
speeds along with open mouth, engulfing
huge quantities of water and greater or less
quantities of the animalcules and small fish
on which it subsists. When his cavernous
mouth is full he closes it, blows out the water
through his spout holes, and with the all of
his tongue swallows tho little creatures
which have become immeshed in the curious
attachment of his upper jaw.-Cor. Balti-

Wild Animals In Africa.

OF the wild animals, singularly enough
only the leopards are dreaded, for they often
attack man, which the lions never do, al
though they lurk in the bush by twos and
threes. The negroes told Emin they were
under the control of chief named Lotter, a
very simple, good naturcd man, who always
kept two tame lions in his house IA fact, and
rs long as he receives occasional presents of
corn and goats, prevents the wild lions from
doing any mischief
1t Is curious to note that the lions here are
good tempered toerhaps because they find
abundance of food, and they are also much
admired, as was shown by the following in
cident: "One day." he says, 1--WE came upon
lion caught in pitfall, whereupon Chief
Lotter was fetched, and he pushed into the
pit branches of trees to enable the lion TO get
ont; this it did, and after giving Us roar of
acknowledgment, walked off unharmed
Another chief is said to possess the power
of keeping the game away from the pitfalls
One of our men told me that this chief was
ut one time detained under arrest at the sta
tion for few hours, the consequence being
that no game came near the station for about
eight days, SO that present had to be sent TO
the chief to appease him. Chief Chulong's
wife is also famous for her power over the
numerous crocodiles which make their homo
