One of the most peculiar pieces of liti
CATION that has ever appeared in th,
courts of Louisiana has just been decided
The Independence Cotton-Oil Com
pany, Of New Orleans, sold recently 8
large amount of cotton-seed meal to
firm in Thlbodeaux. Shortly after tn,
sale the firm failed, and the oil company
seized the meal, claiming the right to dc
so according to the existing law, which
authorizes the parties selling an agricul
tural product to hold first lieu on it fol
FIVE days after sale. When the matter
came before the court no contest wai
made as to the facts, nor that the Inde
pendent Cotton-0il Company had mo-
made the seizure within the five days al
prescribed by law. The entire question
in dispute lay in the fact whether cotton
seed meal was an agricultural product o
not. The court decided that it was
manufactured and not an agricultural
product; consequently the company will
have TO wait with the other creditors fo
its share of the assets.

According to the Boston Cultirator the
sealskn buffalo made by crossing polled
Aberdeen cattle on the wild stock, have
4 fine, glossy fur, as beautiful as that Of
the seal, and much thicker. The hump
on the buffalo almost entirely disappears
on this cross, and with it the shaggy
name for which buffaloes have always
been noted. There are now twelve of
these sealed buffalo, and the cross promises
to become n successful and valuable
breed. They lose their wild traits and
become so easily domestieated as are our
common cattle under like circumstances.
The Hudson's Bay Fur Company is Civ.
ing up business because furs are no longer
to be had, and the sealskin buffalo, many
of which show fur marked like tiger,
will doubtless become valuable product
in northern climes, where the winters are
too cold for the common breeds of cattle
to succeed

The Chicago Herald narrates that
an employc of the Louisville & Texas
Railroad at Hawesvillc, KY, dreamed that
n switch was misplaced, and that fast
train was due. He awoke so deeply i'm
pressed with the vision that he went out
to the switch at once to see if all were
safe. He found it misplaced, as he had
dreamed. A fast train was nearly due,
which, with the switch rs he found it,
would have crashed into train on the
sidetrack in which sixty men were asleep.
The incident is of interest to hypnotists
and dream student perhaps, but il
throws no new light on the misplaced
switch question. Passengers, as a rule,
would still prefer to trust to the man
that is wide awake rather than to the man
that dreams. The Hawesville mans
dream was opportune and truthful this
time, to be sure, but he is just as likely
some other time to dream that the switch
is all right when really it is all wrong.
