One effect of the unprecedented corn
yield in this country last year, dc.
,lares the New York 7riJuaf, is {,
marked revival in the import of live
cattle and dressed beef. In 1881, when
the prices for cattle became so high in
this country, this large trade (mainly the
United Kingdom) about ceased The
50 4esSfon caused in the business then
was not wholly overcome dufpg the in
iervcning years, in which the weekly
shipments of live cattle were not over
COO head, while of drcs. cd beef
about 6000 quarters went out. a
recent week saw an export from
this port Of 1000 head of live cattle
andsayer 10, o9Q quarters of beef. This
revival is mainly due to the corn crop.
which is so plentiful that all the cattle
in America can be put in excellent con-
dition cheaply and good prices can be
obtained abroad The export trade
furnishes employment to a large number
Of men who arc sent out in charge Of tho
cattle, and gladdcns the heart of Amcri'
can cattle dealers, to whom every bull
lock sold out of the country is beneii,
to the market at home.

DiSrranchised District of Columbia.

While the people of the District of
Columbia had the franchise the District
Was badly managed; the people voted
away great sums of money which the
United States largely paid, and every
thing got to be at skies and sevens
When IN 1871 the United States assumed
the debt, it was also decided that, as tho
ID strict depended on Congress, Con-
grcss should manage it through BOARD
of Commissioners, so the matter stands
now. The people of the District, owing
to The complication arising from the
small size OF the territory and the pres
ence OF "the Government" couldn't run
things properly, and SO Congress is run
ming them. That the District people
should have no vote is an anomaly in this
country, but as there arc comparatively
few residents, the number of persons dis
franchsed is not so large as ut first sight
it seems. -B>stOn CaAtica.or.

Another About Blackburn.

When his Congressional colleagues
fail to give scope for his Jokes the
Kentucky Senator is not particular
about his victim. 1t wasn't SO long
ago that he had an unusually raw arti-
Gle OF Kentucky material appointed to
minor position among the Senate
employees. The atmosphere of the
committee room was dry, the prosy
talk OF Senator with hobby was
dryer, and everybody was thirsty. One
of the listeners wanted glass of water
and asked for it. Senator "Joe" gave
tho order to his messenger in IN I'M
dortone, and himself left the room.
The messenger soon returned and said
triumphantly to the company:
"You can't have 'em. Mr.. Canadsy
said So"
"Can't have what?" asked the sur
prised water drinker.
Cant have the glasses and the bot
tie Senator uses" was tho re-
ply;
who tho blank sent you after n
bottle? 1 wanted glass of water. Go
out in that room and get it."
Tho crestfallen employee did rs he
was told. When he returned one of
the company mildly asked the messen-
ger where he had gone in the first
place.
"To the Office of the Sergeant-at-
arms, was the reply. Senator Black
burn told me to get six glasses and the
bottle Senator uses. Thoy said
you couldn't have 'em because thew
didn't run crookery store Then L
told them Senator Blackburn sent mo
and they said they knew that wasn't
so, because he wouldn't have any need
for the glasses. They said if I'd only
asked for the bottle they might have
believed he sent me-"
Whether the joke was on Senator
Joe or his messenger any ono con
Judge for himself, but the story comes
from his colleagues and not from

Ice harvesting.

was talking last evening with ons of
the largest ice packers along the Hudson
River. lie said that the greatest suffer-
crs from the lack of cold weather are
the men who are accustomed to fill in
their winters by working for the ire
packers. Of late years the freezing
weather has come after New Years Day.
Huring the past seventy years there have
been bat five winters when the ice crop
fell greatly below the average. They
were those OF 1916, 1896, 1887, 1888 and
1880. The Hudson River has only been
frozen over once this winter, and that
was on December Il. Sine 1870 the
Hudson has been permanently closed for
tho winter later than this year only on e.
That was in 1891, when it was frozen
over on February ".-Ne'o York Star.

of his labor according TO the mark ct

According to reports received at
Washington, herd of native American
buffalo have escaped the advancing
march of civilization and are roamirp
The wilds of Wyoming. 1t has been gen
orally believed that the buffalo in their
free state had practically become extinct,
except in the Yellowstone Park, where
the national Government has taken stems
for their preservation, but Delegate
Carey received letter few DAYS AFRO
from Mr.. Frank e. Coffin, of Wyoming,
saying that herd of twenty six buffalo
have been found browsing in the Red
Desert, Wyoming, and that the Indians
were preparing to slaughter them. At
Mr. Carey's request the Indian Bureau
issued orders which, it is hoped, will
save the animals. The game laws of
Wyoming are adequate to protect the
ANIMALS from the whites, but the Terri
torinl laws do not extend over the In
dians. Mr.. Carey says that it is possible
there may be few other herds of bu fTalo
roaming over the Western country away
from all human habitations. Each
spring the cowboys kill few bulls who
como out of the brush, but it is very
unusual to hear of so many Of the ami
ma's hnin0 discovered in one nlaca.

An Umbrella Constructed of Relics

Among our local curio collectors there
is one gentleman who declares his um-
biclla to be his greatest treasure. The
handle is made from u piece of the
Charter Oak, i'll which is set piece of
stone clipped from Plymouth Rock; the
stick is made from branch of the old
elm tree ut Cambridge under which
Washington assumed command of the
Colonial armies; the brass cap on the
lower end of the stick Is made from tho
trimmings of sword scabbard once used
by General Grant; the green covering
originally served rs the lining of a coat
worn on state occasions by the suave
and couruy Aaron Burr; the ribs,
springs and other metal trappings were
manufactured from small steel cannon
captured by the Americans from the Hes
slams at the battle of I,randywinc. Eight
oblong pieces Of brass have been in
serted in as many sides of the octagonal
handle. They were made from buttons
cut from the military coats of eight
Generals famous in the Revolutionary
War. The owner of this unique UNI
brclla values 1t at $500, he does not be-
lieve in keeping his treasure under lock
and key, but makes free use of his in
tercsting possession. York hide

Cnl.e OF Umbrellas.

Umbrellas will last much longer if,
when they are wet, they are placed
handle downward to dry. The moist
ure falls from the edges of the frame.
md the fabric dries uniformly, II
stood handle upward, as is commonly
tho case, the top of the umbrella holds
the moisture, owing to the lining I'M
derneath tho ring; it consequently
takes long time to dry. and Injuries
tho silk or other fabric with which it
is covered. This is tho main cause Of
the umbrella wearing out so soon at
the top. Umbrella cases are RESPONSE
bic for the wear of the silk. The con-
slant friction causes tiny holes that
appear so provokingly early. When
not in use the umbrella should be left
loose, and when wet loft loose to dry.
