from the hoze, which, II well trained,
sticks to the COW like grim death. At
last the COW is taken away from the herd,
and then there is more trouble to "hold
the cut" This is not difficult after more
than one COW has been cut out, but the
first one is apt to create trouble. When
the cows have been separated the calves
are branded, this being as dangerous a
piece of work as any on the ranch. At
first sight it looks like an outrage that a
great big man should try to throw one
poor weak little calf, and ones sympathies
are all with the animal, until it becomes
very plain that the man has more than his
hands full, and onefeels that it is a shame
that there should be only one small man
pitted against that great big calf.
There is much difficulty at night in
keeping the cattle still and trying to
make them lie down, for they will STAN
pede on the slightest provocation. In
bad weather this. difficulty is increased,
for lightning frightens them badly. In
winter the work is terribly rough, and
many man is frozen to death, besides
hundreds that have fingers, noses and feet
frozen. The cattle have all sorts of foes,
including grangers, bears, wolves, pam
thers and rattlesnakes, although the
prowess of this reptile is very much ex-
aggerated by fasteners. In some parts
of the West the skunk is poisonous,
giving hydrophobia by its bite, and at
one time there was a regular epidemic of
deaths from skunk bites. In conclusion
the speaker said he wanted to give one
word of warning to young gentlemen
who might be imbued with the idea that
they would like to go West and be-
come cowboy. He wanted them to un-
derstand that the COW work was irregular
trade, as well as any other, and would
have to be learned by slow and tedious
steps, and the chances are all against any
but the strongest and hardest men. If a
man fails in the East the chances are
three to one against him if he goes West
to take up the COW business He must
live on unleavened bread, bad salt pork
and alkali water, with other little similar
luxuries, and take all sorts of hard
knocks. There is no sympathy for a
failure, and one must not look to the cow
boy for much encouragement to the ten
derfoot.

Daring Band of Thieves.

1t is not so very long ago that COM
mercial London went wild over the opera
tions of daring gang, all the members
of which eluded capture, after realizing
huge profits from their transactions. The
principal in the various affairs was
handsome young woman, elegantly dress
ed. She would enter a jewelers. shop
and ask to look at some gems. While
engaged in her selections the music of
hand organ would be heard in the street.
The woman would pause, open pocket
book, take out shilling, and say: "It
always makes me feel charitable to hear
that tune. Pray give me coppers for the
silver" On receiving the change, she
would wrap portion of it in piece of
paper and add: :" Please have one of your
youngmcn give that to the organ grinder" !"
After the request had been complied
with she would resume the inspection of
the precious stones, make some small
investment and prepare to depart.
Usually the salesman would discover the
absence of from one to three costly gems
and detain her She would grow indig-
nant, he more firm and insistent. The
messenger boy sent for a policeman would
find one right at the door and call him
IN. He would place the woman under
arrest, and she would beg him to spare
an innocent person the disgrace of being
dragged through the streets to jail. A
cab would be at hand, and in it the po-
liceman and his prisoner would drive
away, after the former had warned the
jeweler to be in court promptly next
morning. And that was the last the
merchant would ever hear of the woman,
the organ grinder, the policeman or the
cab driver.
All, of course, were confederates.
When the female customer sent out the
parcel to the street musician it contained,
besides the coppers, the stones she had
distracted from the tray With these in
his pocket the organ grinder promptly
disappeared, the bogus policeman took
his station within call and an humble
but useful member of the gang took care
that meanwhile the genuine policeman on
the beat was getting his fill of beer at
the most convenient public house. The
grand exit to the waiting cab of the stern
officer and the weeping female completed
the artistic details of the swindle. In
two days thirty eight complaints reached
| the authorities of thefts of this sort, but
by the time they got ready to act no one
could be found for them to arrest. -

Fish that are Prolific.

According to naturalists scorpion

A hydrachna produces 600 eggs and a
frog 1,100. A female moth will pro-

q, 900 and II, 900 have been found in the
ovary of an. ascaris One naturalist
found over 12, ,000eggs in alobster, and an
other over 21, 900. Aninsect very similar to
an ant Mutilla) has produced so, 900 eggs,
in single day, and Leuwenhoeck seems
to compute 1900, 900 as the crabs share.
Many fishes produce an incredible num-
Der Of eggs. More than 36, 600 have been
counted in herring, $4,000 in smelt,
], 100000 in sole, 1, 130, 900 in roach,
8, 600, 900 in q sturgeon, 34S, 900 in carp,
1888, 600 in a tench, 546, 900 in a mackerel,
992, 600 in a perch, and /, ,357, 900 in a
founder.
But Of all the fishes ever yet discovered,
the cod seems to be the most prolific.
One naturalist computes that this fish
produces more than 1856, 600 eggs, and
another as many as 9,444, O00 Al rough
calculation has shown that were one per
cent. Of the eggs Of salmon to result in
full-grown fish, and we're they and their
1 progeny to continue to increase in the
same ratio, they would in about go years
amount in bulk to many times the size of
| the earth. Nor is the salmon the most
prolific of species. In a yellow perch,
weighing 81 ounces, have been counted
9,943 eggs, and in a smelt, 10s inches in
length, S5, 141. An interesting expert
ment was made in Sweden in 1851 by
Charles f. Lund. He obtained from 50
female Dreams 5, 100, 900 young, from 100
4 female perch 8, S155 900 young, and from
1 100 female mullet 4o00,0o0 young.
