How Gas Damages Roolxs-

Gas is a great destroyer of fine leather
book bindings. Take the sheep bound vol
unes that come from the public printing
Office at Washington and place them on the
top shelves of one OF our book cases and in
five years the leather is utterly rotten and
lifeless, and the covers come OFF where they
Join the backs Hence We place all such
books on low shelves, where the hot air can
not reach them Red morocco is the only
leather we have found that resists the action
OF the dry atmosphere where gas is kept
burning constantly, and we have all our val
liable books rebound in half red morocco
when the covers come of. This keeps the
lids and backs together for twelve or fifteen
years Then We keep the best books that are
not SO bound in closed cases, and that saves
them some. But there is no way of preserv-
ing leather bound books indefinitely where
gas Is Observation-Disclosures in st. Louis Globe

Joe Marphy's Night.

The best entertainment of the season is
to be presented at Harper's theatre on
Thursday evening OF this week, when the
famous actor and comedian, Mr.. Joseph
Murphy, is to appear in his great comedy
drama, The Kerry Cow" of which the
Cleveland Plain Dealer says:
Fed. Mslsden's drama. "The Kerry
Cow" was presented at the Academy of
Music last evening to large and demon
strative audience. Mr.. Joseph Murphy,
as Dan O'Hara. is the same old Joseph
Murphy. a faithful delineator of Irish wit,
Irish manliness and Irish patriotism. The
play was splendidly mounted; the black
smith scene especially being true to life.
Mr.. Murphy is an accomplished blacksmith
and horseshoer. as was evinced by his
skill in providing footwear for Valentine
Hays horse on the stage.

a "Eoundup" in the Far West,

The word roundup" 81 often seen in print,
Is known by NEST people TO be a western
term, but lis real Significance Is not generally
known
On co 0CFess,rI ranges in Dakota, Mon
tana and JOINING territories, the cattle are
all allowed 10 run ut large through the win
ter and summer. They do hot stray a great
distance OF, however, cad, unless stampeded,
may usually be found within thirty miles or
so Of their respective ranches.
To collect these immense herds OF cattle In
the spring aud fall Is no easy matter, and to
do this q roundup is formed. This is made
up By the owners Of the ranches which are on
the same range, sending a roundup" outfit
and their quota Of cowboys.
These respective representatives of the diff
ferent reaches meet at the end of their range
or district and slowly 60 through the coun-
try, collecting and branding the cattle and
calves.
The cattle collected during days riding
are all driven TO the nearest ranch where
there Ia a corral Cattle are not collected
every day, as the cowboys stop every other
day to brand the cattle caught The cattle
collected IN a days ride by roundup of
thirty cowboys make an immense herd This
herd Il watched very carefully during the
night, and the next morning the work of
rounding them out" begins.
Rounding out" Is the term applied to sep
arating the cattle of different brands from
the herd
After the small herd are separated the
cows with calves and unbranded cattle are
rounded out from the branded cattle.
When ali the cattle are branded they are
driven back over the same ground that the
roundup" trnversed the day before and
turned loose.
Life on the roundup Is hard work. The COW
boys are In all sorts Of danger, have to sleep
on the ground, rain or snow, ride hard one
day and work hard the next at branding. -

The subject OF a Coroner's Inquest
May Give His Own T-stimony In the
Case-A W,fe's Surprise.
The Democrats Gazette tells OF a peculiar
case. wherein the coroner was called to
act, as follows:
Coroner Bawden has held many in
quests In his time. but one held few
nights ago was perhaps the most inter
esting he has ever held. A we'll known
citizen was found in livery stable 10 an
apparently lifeless condition. The liv-
eryman notified few gentlemen friends
OF the discovery and they summoned the
coroner. who. by the way, was only few
blocks distant. In a short time jury
was empanelled, and the inquest proceed
inRs begun. The moon shone brightly
through the barn window down upon the
face OF him, the cause of whose death
the jury had met to determine. A few
of the gentlemen present knew the man
and bad for years; some of the
coroner. The jury examined the body
and concluded that the man was dead
drunk. The testimony Of witnesses was
taken and the jury returned verdict in
accordance with the facts. The verdict
of the jury was put In the outside pocket
OF the coat of the deceased ~ and the
coroner and jury left the place. In q lit
tie while the gentlemen who composed
the Jury returned to sec whether the dead
had come to life. They took hold of him
and shook him. He was far from being
q corpse. The gentlemen raised him TO
his feet; they expressed their sorrow at
finding him there. The citizen was glad
they had found him. He took them out
and treated them to oyster stews and
then went home.
The next morning while his wife was
brushing his clothes, she discovered a
document hanging out of his overcoat
pocket. She took it and upon unfolding
1t was startled to find it was the verdict
OF coroner's jury-snd her husband
named In II as the deceased At the bots
tom OF the document was the coroner's
signature. The astonished wife at once
called her husband and demanded an ex
PLANTATION. AS yet no explanation has
been given. The wife, however, is happy
in the thought that she lie not yet a
widow.
