Last Saturday night. says The Bridge port Post, two men i'll q buggy drove up tt a pnblic resort in Milford and told the proprietor that they had ten gallons of whiskty in ktg in the buggy which they would sell for $10. They gave as their reason for being willing to dispose of the stnff Ut such a low price thatit was smug- gled whisky. The men went into the. placa to talk over the bargain, and one of them took from hlsapocket small bottle, which was sampled by the proprietor of the place and pronounced first class. The men said the contents of the bottle was the same kind of liquor as the contents of the keg, and to prove their assertion asked the proprietor to step outside and be con- vinced The invitation was accepted, and one of the men placed a syphon in the key and apparently drew from the keg glass of whisky, which the proprietor drank and was satisfied. The bargain was consum- mated by paying thesmen the price they asked. Tie keg was Carried inside and the ms Il departed. Soon after, the pro- prietor concluded to draw some of the con- tents of the keg, and tapped it. It was then he discoveled that instead of purchas- ing .'smuggled" whisky, he had purchased for $10 ten gallons of pure. cold water. It was a sharp trick, and the syphon was "loaded" for the occasion.
 A remarkable spectacle was presented in the Olympia, London, where the funeral of Mrs. Booth, the wife of the leader and founder of the Salvation Army, occurred. For da, the body uf Mrs. Booth was ly- ing in state under glass canopy, and thousands of people passed by. Extra trains were run from all parts of the king dom, and the funeral was as pompous, in its way, as if it had been the funeral of the queen herself. Over 30, GOO people attend ed. It is said that owing to her efforts over 500, 900 of the hitherto wretched peo- pie of London had been turned in the di- rection of better life. If this is true, the funeral was none too great.
 The census returns show that like the Indian and the buffalo, range cattle are becoming thing of the past. With the constant encroachments of the homestead CT and the farm, the mining towns and cities that are springing up all over what was once the almost boundless t'range, l the days of the vast herds, and to a great extent of the COW boy, are numbered. Thus the evolution goes on first the say. age and the native buffalo, then the half wild cattle with theirthalf civilized attend ants and then the farm, the city and civ | iliza' ion. Where the vast territory in its
 wild condition supported the few, millions under civilization will lead peaceful and happy lives.

 This is the time of year when school
 children begin to tie silk handkerchief
 about the throat. It is not we'll to do this,
 if one can possibly do without the mnffling
 for, if once begun, it must be carried thro
 the entire season, or colds will result.
 Then, too, covering the throat is apt to
 make it sensitive. The muscles of the
 throat can be strengthened by reasonable exposure.
