NEW BREED OF CATTLE.
Interesting Results of -Breedinr
With Pure Ruffaloas

With Pure Buffaioes.
Besides the pure buffalo. of which Mr..
Jones has nearly 120, he has number of
the crossbred stock, and it is these which
to the breeder of cattle are by far the
most interesting. Among these last are
four half-breed cows. These COWS are all
alike in size, and convey the impression of
more bulk than large work oxen. When
seen in March they were rather thin in
flesh and were shedding their coats, so
that they did not appear to advantage
They were estimated to weigh about / 400
pounds. Mr. Jones expressed the opinion
that he could fatten one of them in the
autumn so as to weigh 1900 pounds live
weight. They are sired by buffalo bulls
and are out of common Indian COWS.
A half-breed steer was castrated as a
calf by Mr.. Bedson, and killed when he
was past three years old. He dressed
$50 pounds clear meat, or nearly twice as
much as a fat four-year-old range steer.
As might be expected, the three-quarter
bloods more nearly resemble the buffalo.
The hump is much more pronounced, the
head and horns more butfalo-like, while
the coat is much longer than that of the
half-breeds and more wavy. Animals OF
this breed attain great size, as indicated
by the weight of the six months calf al
ready mentioned. A young three-quarter
bred bull, past three years old, pulled
down the scales at 2,400 pounds when
grass fat in the autumn. Owing, however,
to the lack of symmetry, due to the hump,
they do not so much impress the cattle
man. They produce a robe, however,
which in beauty and evenness is superior
to that of the buffalo. The buffalo's coat
in winter on the hump, upper sides and
back is curly and matted, and soon bleaches
out to a faded tan color, while the coat of
these three-quarter bloods is even through
out, having little or no curl anywhere, and
is but little lighter on the back than on
the belly. 1t is everywhere beautiful
rich brown, and is as heavy as any buffalo
robe
The robe of the half-breed is even in
length on all parts of the body and is
without curl, more like heavy bear skin
than anything else.-Forest and Stream.

An Irrepressible Music Box.

II never felt so much ashamed in my
life as | did yesterday afternoon" said a
member of Congress.
"What was the matterg
at wasn't anything serious merely one
of those occurrences which come in the
most inopportune manner to embarras a
fellow. | called on a friend-a Senator
and was obliged to wait for him some time.
There was decanter and wine-glass on
his center table, and without thinking
anything of the matter proceeded to help
myself. Well, the COMPOUNDED bottle was
one Of those April fool affairs that have a
music box concealed inside
"The machinery of the box is so arranged
that when it is tilted something or other
slips its mooring and sets popular mel
ody going. That's just what happened to
me. | replaced the bottle on the table
while Paddy Duffy's Cart was trundled
through the atmosphere with diabolical
distinctness. OF course, my host came in
at that moment. and the smile that came
over his countenance was scarcely percepti-
bic, yet exceedingly cutting. Really
there was nothing wrong in my taking a
glass of wine, considering my familiar foot
ing at the house, but it was very funny for
my host. y WASHINGTON Pest

A Veteran Locomotive.

One of the Oldest locomotives now in ac-
tive service is the " General" of the West
ern and Atlantic Railroad This is the
engine which was captured by twenty-five
Federal soldiers in disguise on April y,
1862, and with which they attempted 10
escape from Big Shanty, up the Western
and Atlantic Railroad, and burn the
bridges on the line between that point
and Chattanooga. The General was
also directly under fire of the Federal
batteries in the great battle of Kenesaw
mountain, June q, 1864. She carried
up a load of ammunition, and staid there
for the purpose of receiving the wounded
in the battle and bringing them back to
Marietta after its termination. Some
of the shells from the Federal batteries
exploded all around her. She was also
the last locomotive to leave Atlanta when
Hoods army evacuated the city. The
General" is still in the service of the
company, but does not do any heavy work.

session, and this can be done at any time
after specified amount of work has been
accomplished. If is
QUARTZ LODE,
A shaft not less than seventeen feet deep
and five feet square entities the claimant
to possession. 1t makes no difference if
the claim happens to be located on land
that belongs TO some other man, SO long as
the latter has made no use of it. In this
respect the mining lawsof all countries are
about the same, based on the fundamental
principle that the ownership of an estate
does not necessarily include whatever may
be below the surface. Possession is given
by the proper officer of the Government,
who goes to the spot with a surveyor, and
inquiries upon the ground if there are any
adverse claimants If none appear to prove
that they are already working the lode,
possession of the mine is given to the de-
nouncer, and the legal measurement of his
claim is thereupon mapped out by the
Government surveyor. The fees for this
service are large, ranging from 500 up
ward, according to the distance to be
traversed by the officers aforesaid and the
difficulties of the journey. Under Mexico's
recently enacted laws,
MINES ARE NOT TAXABLE,
And the mining rights of the Republic
are very strongly marked, mineral claims
taking precedence of everything else. For
example, if | own farm, and my neighbor
discovers mineral property upon it, he can
denounce it, work it and owni it, in spite
of any protest which may make, provid-
ing only that he is careful not to injure
my buildings or a yard more of surface
ground than is absolutely necessary for the
prosecution of his work A mine could be
denounced in the streets of town, and
run directly under its principal thorough
fares, if the lode happened to lead that
way, and in no case does land-ownership
give absolute possession of any minerals
coal alone being excepted as belonging to
the party on whose premises it is discov-
ered
Besides the mines at Santa Clara, the
seat OF the present excitement, there are
many other fields in Lower California said
to be fully as rich. There is the Real del
Castillo district, the Jacilitas, Baritone and
Socora the San Pablo fields, only fifteen
miles from Santa Clara; the Santa Cata-
lima district, twenty-five miles west of
Santa Clara; Santo Tomas to the SOUTH
San Vincente, San Rafael, Viadernes and
San Pedro Martyr, the latter being solid
mountain of gold-bearing quartz. Then
there is the Aqua Blanco and Los Alamos,
and from the latter nearly three thousand
dollars in gold-dust was taken in one
month. The San Quentin district is also
known to be very rich, and away down
near the end of the penlnsular are mines
which have yielded well for two centuries
or more. FANNIE 3. WARD.

TRICKS OF THE TRADE.
Marking Down Sizes of Shoes to Crafty
Vanity.

Vanity.
g want pair of French kid button
boots. Let me see the very best you have"
" This way, please; here they are made
by Ready, Sale & Co.; the very best in the
market. What size did you say ?"
: wear threes, SLIM"
"Ah. here we are now, then. Fits you
like glove. If | had taken your measure
| couldn't have done better"
They seem to be all right. By the
way, are these the same make of shoes
that Mrs. Lightfoot wears ?"
"Well, to tell the truth, no. She al
ways wears a make that costs 81 pair
more"
"But you said these were the very
best"
I" For wear and qualIty-so they are"
Then why should Mrs. Lightfoot pay
81 extra for hers?'
Why, she won't have any other shoe
but Fi.em 4 Co.'S because she can wear a
size smaller of theirs than she can of any
Others"
ooh! but you really don't mean to say
that could wear a No 2 shoe of What's
his-name's make, do your;
Certainly you could. You see they
have designer of patterns who is a perfect
genius, and who understands the human

A B Cs. He explained his system to me
one day, and find that he is thoroughly
posted. His idea is. in the first place, to
abbreviate the longitudinal pressure for
ward, and then, by propelling the lateral
distension sideways, he of course makes
the shoe size shorter than it would have
been had he made it the full length"
Dear me! How simple that seems.
And you are sure | could wear No. 9 of
this make?
Positive. Here is a pair. Try them
on and see for yourself"
Why, these are just too nice for any,
thing. They fit perfectly. They amt
bit tight. Are you sure they are only
twos?"
You can see for yourself Size mark
stamped in plain figures on the sole and
lining. There it is: size No 2, width A."
We'll, Pll take this pair, and after this
you won't catch me wearing any other
make"
This sounds like fiction, but it is lit
eral fact. The conversation took place
just as it is written with the exception of
the names. Although the measurements
of the woman's foot called for a No. 8 she
was fitted perfectly with No. ,.
The explanation is this: There are
manufacturers who, when ordering sets of
lasts, instruct the sellers to deliver them
unstamped. The stamping is done in the
shoe factory, each last being marked a
half size or q size smaller than it meas
ures. The uppers are numbered to match
the lasts, and the deception is complete

Fathers are apt to give the boys the
poorest team and the poorest tools on the
place to work with but it is bad policy if
the boys are to be encouraged to become
good farmers.
After each rain the ground should be
cultivated lightly in order to prevent evap-
Grafton of moisture. The loose dirt serves
as a covering aud shields the earth from
the direct effect of drying winds and the
heat of the sun.
Early cabbage should be set out. The
hoe shows good effects on cabbage, IS the
plant delights in frequent cultivation. For
an early supply, only rich land should be
used, and the ground made very fine be-
fore putting out the plants.

Weeds make excellent green manure if
turned under. A rank growth of weeds
indicates fertile land, but such land can be
exhausted by removing weeds as well as
by removing regular crop. 1t will pay,
therefore, to turn the weeds under and let
them rot in the ground.
The liquid manure is more valuable
than the solids, and liberal use of absorb
ent material will aid in arresting its loss.
1t should be saved carefully, and drain
at the rear of the stalls should conduct it
to some kind of a receptacle from which it
may be pumped over the manure heap.
The Bakersfield Californian thinks a
great mistake is made in planting such
trees as the willow, cottonwood and pop
lar. They are cheap and grow rapidly,
but there their good qualities end They
are infested by obnoxious insects which
are destructive to the fruit trees and vine
yards. Their roots are enormous feeders
and stretch out in all possible directions
to the detriment of all plant-life in their
vicinity.

LAST NIGHT 1 DREAMED OF THEE.

Last night dreamed of thee, mother,
That dream it haunts me now,
see again thy loving smile
Thy kind and thoughtful brow
hear once more thy gentle voice
So fraught with love for me-
Bright visions of the past arise
Yet quickly from me flee.
! clasped again thy hand so dear
Its pressure yet feel,
II seemed SO real when awoke-
Unlike a heeting dream,
That | could almost think that thou
Vert standing by my side
Again would shield me from life's storms,
With love so true and tried.
In dreams l see thee as of yore-
With thee sweet converse hold,
feel once more thy fond embrace
AS in the days of old
But with the mornings dawning light
The vision fades away
And naught remains save deep regret
Within The heart, where sorrow now holds
sway.
For years the flowers have bloomed upon
The lone and silent spot
Where rests thee now in dreamlesS S-eep,
By loved ones ne'er forgot;
And tho on earth we meet no more
Though here we've said farewell,
Well greet thee on yon heavenly shore
With him, who doeth all things well.
