Racing Bulls in France.

In France there is a breed of cattle called
the Landaise. These animals are peculiar to
the department of Landes, where the grass is
hard and scanty, and where the agriculture
is rude indeed On many of the farms these
cattle are fed by hand. There are openings
with wickets in the wall Of the house, which
faces on the court where the cattle are kept
Members Of the farmers household take their
places by these openings and feed the cattle
from within. They hand out mouthful after
mOuthful, but so slowly that the animal puts
its muzzle to the opening and has every straw
carefully tucked in between its jaws. Hour
after hour is consumed in this kind of feed
ing. Sometimes the COW tires before it is
considered she has had enough. In that case
piece Of turnip or choice wisp of hay is
offered The poor brute raises her head to
the opening only to be fooled and have
tucked down her throat another bunch Of
coarse straw. It is said to be astonishing
how little is required to keep the Landaise
thrifty by these methodical methods of feed
ing.
The Landaise cows as well as the oxen,
are worked hard in the fields and on the
roads. Some Of these animals are highly
priced for their speed, and the most exciting
features Of the programmes of the fairs in
Landes are the bull races. The consul who
sent home picture of a Landaise racer said
the agility was extraordinary. These ami
mails take a trot without being blown. They
often make long trips, covering forty-five and
fifty miles in a day At the games in Landes
they are turned loose in 4 ring, and the ath-
lete wins the plaudits Of the spectators by
teasing and dodging one Of these bulls. The
performers greatest feat is to advance with
g cigarette in his mouth. The bull charges
with lowered horns. The athlete nicely cal
culates the distance, ard just as the bull
reaches him he places a foot between the
horns and vaults over the bulls back, being
aided in the jump by the upward toss Of the
animals head.-St. Louis Globe-DemOcrat.

Pakenham Preserrea in Rum.

A strange story comes from Chester county,
in this state. 1t is said that the body Of Gen.
Pakenham. who commanded the British in
the attack on New Orleans in the war Of 1919,
is buried in that county and his grave has
been found. The generals body was said to
have been placed in a cask Of rum and sent
to England. On its arrival there, IL was
through mistake, not even opened, but
shipped again, this time to Charleston.
Reaching this city it was sent to McAfillen,
who kept q general stock Of groceries and
liquors There a spigOt was placed in the
barrel and the boys who had returned from
the war would congregate around the store,
take large potations Of the good old Jamaica
rum and tell their exploits in the war.
After the rum was exhausted the head Of
the cask was knocked out and the body Of q
man was found therein. The news spread like
wildfre and the boys gathered to inspect the
body. Several Of them had been to New
Orleans and had seen Gen. Palzenham, and
at once identified it as being no less a corpse
than that Of the general. The body was in
closed in coffin and buried near the store.
Mr.. Austin now owns the property. He
lives a few miles from Rossville, Chester
county. Until recently there were still living
some Of those who helped to drink the rum
and who identified the body.-ChArleston

A curIou. nna valuable Rook.

Perhaps the most singular curiosity in the
book world is a volume that belongs to the
family of the Prince de Ligne, and is now in
France It is entitled "The Passion Of
Christ" andis neither written nor printed.
Every letter Of the text is cut out of leaf,
and, being interleaved with blue paper, is as
easily read as the best print The labor and
patience bestowed upon its composition must
have been excessive, especially when the pre-
cision and the minuteness of the letters are
considered. The general execution in every
respect is indeed admirable, and the vellum
is of the most delicate and costly kind. Ru-
dolph II, of Germany, offered for it in 1910
Il, 900 ducats. which was probably equal to
6O,OOO at this day. The most remarkable cir
cumstance connected with this literary treas
ure is that it bears the royal arms Of Eng
land; but when it was in that country, and
by whom owned, has never been aseertained.

A Prisoner's wonderful Invention,

Recently an electrician named S. L. Bar
rett was sentenced to the county jail for
period Of twenty days for using pistol in
the county court house. While in Jail he in
vented an instrument that he calls micro
detector. While in working position it will
warn q jailer if prisoners are attempting to
escape by saving, filing, or using any other
adroit means. It was tested today by a num-
Der of citizens, they posting themselves in q
front room in the back part Of the prison,
with doors closed. A clock was put in mo-
ton. Every click could be distinctly heard
in the room. A saw was used gently on the
bars, and produced loud saving noise. The
instrument is worked by electricity on q
single wire, the various noises Of the cells
coming over it distinctly. The invention is
considered wonderful-Houston (Tex.l Cor.

witches I'm the crenm.

A most peculiar case Of superstition exists
in York township, o. A well known farmer
named Milar has always kept a fine lot of
cows and made great deal of most excellent
butter. OF late years he has had what he
terms it, "Witches in the cream" giving
himself and family a great deal of trouble
and great loss. 1t happens about every two
weeks when they put the cream in the churn
it begins foaming over the top and refuses to
gather No amount of churning has any
effect toward gathering the butter, and the
cream is taken out and thrown far away.
The family attributes the trouble to witches
