Lakeland Cracker: In another col
umn will be found the proceedings Of
cattlemen's meeting in Barlow, to arrive
al an understanding with the South Flor
ida Railroad officials as to stock killed.
II will be seen that resolutions were
adopted which will doubtless be satefac-

stock killed, and the settler has perfect
right to demand full compensation. We
are z lad to see that all parties have ar
rived at thorough understanding Of the
matter. The railroad people are inclined
To be fair, and as that is all the average
cracker wants, this meeting will settle
the matter for all time, we believe. AS
al extra precaution, the railroad is now
preparing TO erect barbed-wire fences
along the line where cattle are most nu-
merOus, and this alone will be the means
Of saving a great many cattle from de-
structIOn.

lieving this TO be the time when they can
secure the best bargains. The number of
such investors is increasing, and it is we'll
that it is so. 1t has tendency TO "even

might otherwise be quiet season. Let
them come we will give them all the bar
gains they want, and treat them we'll be-

TO practice the best method OF eating
tomatoes known to anybody. He takes
one Of the biggest he can get, cuts
slice from the top of it, stirs in a lot of
pepper and vinegar, plentifully mixed
with salt, and eats out the savory, juicy
contents with spoon. 1t is delicious,
wholesome, and withal convenient, eaten
In that way. Some tomatoes grown
around here are almost enough for meal
for man fixed up in that shape.

How High Do Great Waves Go.

1t is very common phrase to speak
of the waves, during storm, as running
mountains high; but this really means
nothing. Accurate measurements,
made by Scoresby, proved. that during
storms, waves in the Atlantic rarely ex-
coed 43 feet from hollow to crest, the
distance from crest to crest being $50
feet, and their speed 323 miles an hour.
More recent observations in the Allan
tic give from A to As feet as the highest
waves; but such heights are rarely
reached, and, indeed, waves exceeding
80 feet are very seldom encountered.
The Monsoon waves at Kurrachee
breakwater works were found to dash
over the wall to the depth Of Il feet, or
about 80 feet above mean sea level.
The greatest height Of waves on the
British coast were thus observed in
Wick Bay-so famous for the exception
ally heavy seas which roll into it-being
373 to 40 feet. Green seas to the depth
of % feet poured over the parapet ofthe
breakwater at intervals OF seven to ten
minutes, each wave, it was estimated,
being mass of 40, 900 tons of water, and
this continuously for three days and
nights. During severe storms, the
waves used to rise high above the top of
Smeaton's Eddystone tower, while at
the Bell Rock the seas, with easterly
storms, envelop the tower from base
to balcOnv-a height of 400 feet.

bloody border feuds between white set
tiers and redskins. In the treacherous
massacre with which the terrible battles
in the Lava Beds were inaugurated, Col.
Meacham, one of the special Modoc In
dian commissioners, was painfully
wounded and lett for dead in stony
hollow, near the camp OF the renowned
"Capt. Jack"
During the night that followed the
massacre the groans of Col. Meacham,
who was suffering agonies from his
wound, were heard by a Modoc suuaw
who passed near the lol ow in quest of
water. Approaching the wounded man,
she knelt by his side, stanched the flow
of blood with stri ps torn from her dress,
and, dragging him to neighboring cave.
supplied him with food and tenderly
nursed him until he had recovered suf-
ficiently to make good his escape. Capt.
Jack" learned of the incident from a
scout and drove her from the tribe.
She took refuge in a neighboring settle
ment of whites, and lived from hand to
mouth for many years by performing
such labor as she could find to do. She
is now an old woman, gray-haired and
bent. A friend OF Meacham, recently
discovered her whereabouts and desti-
tute condition, and induced Repre-
sentative Hermann to prepare the bill
for the relief OF Winemah Riddell, the
first full-blooded Indian for whom a
pension was ever dra ted.

An Enlargement OF the Liver.
From Harper's Magazine.


They were housekeeping in a sum-
mer-cottage near New York, a young
married couple and their several college
friends. One afternoon on the piazza,
before a game of tennis, the Wesleyan
man discovered joke in city paper
which he thought the young house
keeper would relish. He handed her
the paper, with the remark, ''That's
pretty good" The Queen read the fol-
lowing:
'Scene-Butcher Shop: Young Mar
ried Lady-'What have you to-day?
''Butcher-'Not much to-day, mum
hind quarter of veal and liver
young Married Lady latter a mo-
ment's deliberation)-'Well, | will
take hind quarter OF liver
Having read, although evidently lit
tie puzzled, she Immediately said, with
that ever ready and ever-to-be-remem-
bered smile, "Why, any one would
know better than that"
And when the Wesleyan man asked,
"How is that ?' she responded, "a hind
quarter of liver would betoo much"

Chinese "Seyen Ages.s

The "seven ages of man" were de-
picted by Japanese artists long before
they became famous in Shakespearean
recitations in this country, and, per-
haps. before Shakespeare was born. On
the walls of the great tea store in Cort-
landt Street, which has branches in
Hong Kong and Shanghai, hangs a
series of japanese pictures illustrating
the seven picturesque periods of mans
existence. The material used is mating,
not canvas, and great ingenuity is dis
PLAYED in the execution of the tableaux
The infant, of course, figures in the
first picture. The next shows boy adj
mitted to university. In the third he
stands up for betrothal. In the fourth
he is a soldier. In the fifth, much
older, he is mandarin. In the sixth
he is dotard, dying. In the seventh
he is wrath waited away in the wind.

Henry G. Burleigh Entrapped.

A story is told in the corridors of the
Delavan which is con" Henry G. Bur
leigh, of WHITEHALL He was seated on
a sofa not long ago talking with Railroad
Commissioner Baker, when a we'll
dressed young man stepped up to the
telegraph desk and began writing dis

''See here, Burleigh," remarked Mr.
Baker, Il want to make little bet with
YOU"
The surrounding politicians picked up
their ears.
"What about % asked the Whitehall
wizard curlously.
''About q sure thing, of course" was
the reply. "Do you see that young man
at the telegraph desk, and the little seal
skin gloves beside him? / want to bet
you that he walks off when he has
finished his business and torgets to take
those gloves"
"Nonsense," was the sage rejoinder
"He wouldn't forget anything SO valu-
able"
After few minutes chatting the betwas
nearer to watch the result. Mr. Bur
leigh looked skeptical and Mr.. Baker
contented.
Finally the stranger buttoned up hi;
coat and turned to go, but be LETT the
gloves.
"Hold ont" shouted Mr.. Burleigt
after the retreating stranger, 'you have
forgotten"
''Sit down, Burleigh,' said Mr.. Baker
calmly, "those are my gloves"
Then the watching multitude smiled {
moist odorous smile, and the bet was
paid

He Whipped the Dog.

Judge Foster, of the supreme court OF
Maine, was awakened by loud crash
hastily dressed and ran into the kitchen,
to find the dishes and other things dis
arranged and some broken. He looked
around to ascertain the cause of the
trouble and saw the dog in one corner
of the room, trembling with fear. Judge
Foster Immediately seized him, admin
istered a severe thrashing, and then re-
tired to bed again. The next day when
the Judge went down the street every
one he met asked him if he felt or heard
the earthquake last night. and on COM
pairing time he found it was precisely
the time the dog was whacked for up-
setting things.
