Cow and RattIer Fight 10 a Finish.

a fight to the death between a ine
milch cow and a large rattlesnake oc-
CURED recently Of the farm of Joseph
Carter, in BIB county, Ala.
Mr.. Carter had turned his cows into
fresh pasture. where there was some
very fine grass which they began TO
eagerly devOur, says a s.. Louis paper.
a small ditch ran through the pasture,
and on its bank the grass was very
thick.
The cows Were feeding in bunch on
the bank of this ditch when they scents
ed a rattlesnake and moved away, with
the exception of one large black COW.
She stood !Or moment looking in the
direction the snake was supposed TO be.
The grass WAS very fine in that direc-
tion and the COW soon made up her
mind. She ventured a little further
forward, occasionally stopping and
looking about her, evidently trying to
discover the snake.
She had moved forward perhaps ten
feet fIOm the point where The animals
first scented danger. when, without the
customary warning rattle, the snake
struck ard buried its fsngs in the lower
jaw of the COW,
The cow did not run away. but back
ing slowly few feet she stood still Sc
vera! moments, lsshing her tail from
side to side. Then with a mad below
she plunged forward directly toward
the spot where the rattlesnake was lying
hidden in the grass.
The snake was on the alert, and
again struck, burying its fangs in the
animals nose this time. This seemed
10 madden the COW, and she plunged
forward, trampling the snake in the
ground with her fore feet and trying in
vain To pin 1t with her horns.
The snake was soon cut and trampled
20 death, and the COW died from the eff,
ects OF the two bites in few hours.

A Nine OF Valuable Wood.

Forty miles above New Orleans is tn q
old bed of the Bonnet Carre creyasse.
FIFTY years ago the Father of Waters
ourst his bonds and swept through
there to Lake Pontchatrain. Five
years ago the State of Louisiana. with
the assistance of the Mississippi Valley
railroad, rebuilt the Bonnet Care leyee.
but 1t could not restor e altogether the
conditions prevailing anteeedent to the
crevasse: The river in the ten years it
PASSED througa the swamp piled up the
sands against the big cypress forests
theTe. 1t has left behind a buried
forest. The piled up sand has deadened
nearly all the trees, and a shipgle mill
is now at work there manufacturing
tnem into shingles with ali the rapidity
with which that machine works.

Raising Good Horses.

Just now there is no one crop pre-
duced on the farm that begins to pay
the profit realized from we'll bred
horses. The farmer is invited TO look
over the whole field and then say if it
is not so. Nor is the demand all for
one kind by any manner of means. All
hat is called for is something good
1 be 1t roadster, carriage or draft. The
day OF the scrub in horse breeding has
passed, that is to say, the demand all
along the buying line being for some
thing good, the producer, the farmer
breeder Must, in order to meet The
market, produce what is wanted, if he
I wishes TO breed and sell at profit.
! There is room for all the good breeds
/ known TO American farmers because
| they each have place which they can
/ fill TO advantage. The farmer who
/ trots of 10 town with span of l 300
/ pound Percherons or Ciydes shows not
alone his good sense but his thrift, be
cause when called upon they will pull
a heavier load over the road, be it good
! or bad. than a pair of little miserable
/ scrubs. On the same principles the
man who has pair of Cleveland bays
in front of his barouche or carriage, has
/ style, pluck, courage and grit. They
can get over the grOuld at ten mile
pace for hours without feeling fatigue.
ana then after feeding and bit OF rest,
turn around and go back again. And
what is true of thess is preeminently
true OF the American trOtter in whom
We have a concentration of courage
and vim, plucky and enduring fellow
that Will measurably go as fast as tie
road will permit, and never give up SO
long as the power OF endurance las:s.
But let us be fTienuly one with the
other. Every Han TO his taste. We
do not all care for trOtters, some even
believe IL sinful to breed a horse that
can outstrip his neighbOr on the road,
much more show him on the race track.
Sinful men have queer views Of other
mems practices, but tolerate their own
with a graciousness that is both child
like and bland" They forget the old
maxim, "there are none good" but are
carried away with species of rights
BUSINESS unknown to any but them
selves. Be it then our duty 10 breed
only the best, seeing that whatever we
produce of that chaTac. .eI is wanted at
paying and profitable prices, and that
il Is the horses turn just now. Once
it was hemp and tobacco. then 1t was
| SnCrthorn cattle these were for a
short time overshadOwed by the Here
/ fords, then the black doddies came 20
I the front until We exhausted the beef
cattle supply. Tue nob!est Roman of
them all has the field to-day, and the
/ demand is for good horses.

The Origin of the Sash.

The broad sash which the young man
of the period now wears is of Spanish
and Mexican origin. and. as worn bv
the greaser dude of the Rio Garnde. is
a broad scarf tied at the side with flow
ing ends. Since they have become
fashionable with the American youth
the tying In some instances is dispensed
with, and the sash, which presents a
broad front, is a delusion and a snare
ard, like the butterfly necktIe. is made
up and finishes in the back, where it is
concealed oy the coat, in a small belt
and buckle TO keep it on. For the
poung man whose shape does not allow
OF this getting along without the use Of
suspenders, the sash is not "a thing of
beauty OF a JOY forever" If he ties his
sash tight enough to keep MS trousers
In place it will collapse and be like a
limp string in sizs, and if he allows its
broad folds TO encircle his abdomen
loosely then he is in mortal fear that
his trousers will drop off, so he is never
entirely happy. l saw one real sweet
young man the other day, and he had
his sash arranged with q sort of martin
gale. TIE sash was very broad, and he
had his fonr-in-hand necktie come down
and meet his sash. and pinned to it with
society pin. 1 wouldn't be surprised
II the sash was also pinned to his trous>
ers, SO that the whole weight was
brought on his neck, for be walked with
a SOFT of round-shouldered gait, ana
didn't look as if he was enjoying him
self a bit

W onderfnI Egypt.


The Egyptians should he the richest
instead of the poorest people in the
world. What a wonderful country they
have 1t rs valley of guano in the
midst OF desert. The land is as black
| as your hat and if now teens with crops
as green as X lnsas in June II nro-
JUICES from two or three crops every
year, and ITS soil gives out through the
ages oounteous crops with no other fer
tlllzer than this water of the Nil.
Egypt is the gift of the Nile and a won
derful gift it is. The country under the
hhedive toNday is the narrowest king
dom OF the werld. Extending be, ween
eight and nine hundred miles above
Cairo lis cultivable soil is nowhere more
than nine miles wide, and below here il
spreads out in great. green fan. the
ribs OF which are each little more than
lOo miles long and the top of which does
not measure much more than tie ribs.
Inls fan is the famed Delta of the Nile,
and with this long narrow valley above
IL, makes the Egypt of today. On the
SIDES OF this valley are great tracts of
desert of sand of a glsring yellow sill
yer, more sterile than the plains of COL
orado or the alkali plains of the Rock
les The Egyptian desert is absolutely
bare. The rich fields of Egypt come TO
us edge on either side and you can step
fIom the greeDest ot grass on,the driest
OF sand, and standing on the green with
your face toward the desert. fas ar as
the eye can reach, see nothing but the
bleak, bare sand.
The whole of the soil of Egypt has
been brought down from the mountains
of Abyssinia by the Nile. L. is nowhere
more than fifty feet deep and itsaverage
depth is about thirty-Gve feet. Under
THIS soll is found the sand. The Nile
waters it as Well as fertiliZes IL. for
there is no rain to speak OF in Egypr.
The country is fat. AeIe at Cairo Won
can see for miles in every direction. and
standing on the great Pyramid, the
valley OF the Nile is spread out below
you in great patchwork of different
shades OF green. There are no fences
ana few trees, here and thsre a grove of
tall palm raise their fanlike heads high
up In the clear blue atmosphere, and
near them you see village OF mud huts
made OF the same sund dried sticks that
Pharaoh ground out of the children of
Israel. This great plain is cur I'D By
canals, roads run here and there
through it, aud along these move cara
vans of camels, of Egyptians in gowns
upon donkeys and o: droyes of donkeys
laden with grass or grain. There are
cattle aud sheep by the thousand upon
the field and their fat sides glisten un-
der the tropical sun as they MUNICH the
sweetest and juciest of clover. The air
just now is as pure as that-of Denver.
All nature seems to smile and the only
poor thing upon the scene is man.

Comfortable Barns.

II there was no other reason in the
wide world-but there are many-for
having comparatively wide barn floor
between TWO rows OF cows facing each
other, still we would have it so in order
to get the better atmosphere for the
COWS 20 breath az all times of the year.
and most particularly during the hot
nights and mornings, when. with wide,
high barn doors at both ends of the
hoor, and with wide, open doors at
each end Of the passage way in rear of
COWS. one can have wind swept apart
ments'for both cows and miikers-a
place more pleasant for COWS TO be and
for mixers to work than any open yard
even. We have been there in both
places pulling teat," and know a little
about 1t from the regular standpoint.
We know something, too, about the
other kind, where the narrow feeding
way in front OF the cows and small air
holes in front, like many an abomin-
able horse stall, kept the uneasy cows
in an oven almost and the mixer was
no better off than In the other case.

Ocean Cables.

There are now ten cables across the
Atlantic, and their location and condi-
tion are about as we'll known by those
who have 20 do with them as though
they were exposed to view for the entire
distance.
1t has been said of Captain Trott, the
well-kuowR cable fisherman, that he
knows the mountains and valleys, lanes
and avenues of the ocean as well as a
eabman knows the streets of London.
crossing the Atlantic on one occasion
with his repair steamer, and realizing
that he was in the vicinity of the spot
where stretch of cable had been lost
by another company's steamer some
time previous, the captain set To work,
picked up the cable within an hour OF
two, and delivered it 70 it's owner upon
his arrival in port.
There are now throughout the wor q
over llG,0OO miles OF submarine cables,
with nearly 12j, 900 miles OF conductors.
All cables are tested before Leaving the
factory. When put on shipboard, the
ships electrician is in constant commu
nication with the shore thro ugh all the
cable on the ship. The slightest fault
is detected just as soon as IL goes into
the water. Paying ous is immediately
stopped, and the cable repaired. NCU
could not see piuhOle IN the insula-
tiou, but it can be located by the fine
testing instruments, sometimes within
quarter of a mile, in the entire stretch
of = 600 mies.
Aside from electrical considerations,
it is believed thas amor or iron pro-
tected wires are necessary for protec,
tion from chatting on tie rocks, ard
from the teeth of the parasite, and the
cable at the bottom of the sea is no ex
ceptiou. Gables have been taken uT
from dep,h OF a mile and half with
the hemp covering badly eaten away,
and at depth of over half a'mils strong
currents Of the ocean have rasped the
armored wires on the rocky bottom.
Experience has not yet dertermiued
the full lasting qualities of electric
cables. Specimens have been taken W
which no signs of deterioration after
having been ia the water for more than
thirty~fiye years. Water, and especially
salt water, seems To be a pTeserver OF
insulating compounds
