Did Gould DoTt?

It has been conidentially stated to a
GAZETTE reporter, by a gentleman well
mixed up in railroad matters that Jay
Gould was the cause of Dallas losing a
railroad. It was in contemplation to
practically parallel the Texas and Pacific
from Fort Worth, and the deal was about
TO be closed, when Mr.. Gould took
hand in the game, and by one move
checkmated the other players. Had the
game been played out as originally in
tended it would have been followed by
some lively work in railroad circles, but
which would have done Fort Worth no
good. 1t was no love for Fort Worth
that prompted Mr.. Gould, but when he
saw how the land lay he came to the
front, and with "do it if you dare, -
cooked the goose, and spoiled as pretty a
scheme as was ever concooted.

Cheap Coal.

A vein of coal forty five inches thick
has been discovered ct a distance of four
miles from the Fort Worth and Denver
railroad in Montague county, and the
parties owning the lands propose to begin
working them in time to have coal on
this market next winter. 1t is their in
tention to build a spur track from the
Denver and operate it themselves, and
they say they can lay coal down at Fort
Worth at 81 so per ton, and that they
will do so. Arrangements will be made
with the Fort Worth and Denver by
which this can be done.

Special to the Gazette.

SpeClaI TO the S6ZeJUe.
NEW YORK, April 7.-Reports from all the
financial centers OF Europe are much more
favorable than they were week ago. The feel
ing OF insecurity oecasioned by the resgnatisa
of Bismarck seems to have in great measure
disappeared. Furthermore, iquidations on the
Berlin bourse were much easier than had
been expected, and speculation the Paris
bourse increased on account of the success
of the Russian conversion. In London it is ex-
pected that that the bank of England will reduce
its rate this week. Business on all the bOurSes
has been better and prices irmer. The prospects
abroad are to-day brighter than they have been
for some time past. Sterling exchange rates here
took another jump this morning in their course
upward toward the nominal rate at this season of
the year. To-day was holiday in London.
Our stock market last week changed like an
April day from sunshine to storm. Everything
had seemed to favor better prices and greater
activity. Then in rapid succession came tighter

sudden revulsion from the dawn of hope
which. was rising on the stock exchange
and the bull brokers of a week ago

the condition to-day. No one seemed able to
see anything encouraging ahead and prices of
securities dropped accordingly. The selling of

the bear brokers, and reflected the general senti-

THE HUMAN EYE.

What That Organ Has Been and Wha1
It May Become.
Science gives us interesting details
about what the human eye has been and
what it may become. The Vedas Of In.
dia, which are the most ancient written
documents, attest that ut times most re-
mote but still recorded in history only
two colors were known-black and red.
A worry long time elapsed before tho
eye could perceive the color yellow, and
still longer time before green could
be distinguished; and it Is remarkable
that in the most ancient language tho
term which designated yellow insenst.
bly, passed to tho Specification Of green.
The Greeks had, according to the gener.
ally received opinion, the perception Of
colors very highly developed, and yet
authors Of = moro recent dato assure W
that in the time of Alexander tho
Great the Greek painters knew but four
oolors, viz: white, black, red and yellow.
The words to designate blue and violet
were wanting to the Crooks in tho most
ancient times OF their history, they call
ing these colors gray and black. It Ia
thus the colors in the rainbow were only
distinguished gradually, and the great
Aristotle only knew four of them. 1t ia
Q well known fact that when the colors
of the prism are photographed there re-
mains outside the limit of the blue and
violet in the spectrum q distinct i'm.
preston which our eyes do not recognize
Is color. Psychologists tell US that 1t
is reasonable to suppose that ss the
color organ becomes more highly de-
veloped, and even before the human eye
becomes perfect, this outside band will
evolve intoa color perfectly disoernabAe.

Perhaps the most disagreeable and
often filthy task about the dairy farm is
milking. il matters not how nice and
clean the stalls are kept, when the milk

ber OF than are sure to commence drop
ping manure, and the whole room Is
filled with An offensive odor that will
pollute tho milk, to say nothing of the
discomdmre Of putting your foot or milk
pail into this filth. A milking parlor,"
as we call it, should by all means be
provided. This may be room or stall
cut off from the cow stalls. Mine is
small house ten by twenty feet, convent
emily located in the yard between the
COW barns. In this building there are
two large managers arranged with selt-
fastening stanchions, and hinged to tho
wall opposite and above the flank Of the
cow is q kind of clasp with pin holes,
etc., as shown in the engraving.
The side of frame that projects down.

or kicking COW in position while milk

cured in the stanchions, this clamp or
antivoiding attachment is swung around

drop is adjusted to rest on the cows

back, which effectually prevents her
from dropping filth while milking is
done. When finished milking, the drop
is raised, clamp swung back against the
wall, and stanchion bars thrown open,
when cow steps out and another takes
the place.
My milking room is arranged for two
milkmen, one operates at each end, door
in tho middle, milk shclt, with soft
brush for cleaning the udder, and broom
to sweep floor. A small boy may turn
bars and hook up the cows in the barn
as fast as they are called for, and the
COWS soon become drilled in systematic
habit that is excelled only by the mill
tary discipline OF tho soldier, and they
march from their stalls to milk room at
the word. By each manger is barrel
of ground feed, some of which is kept in
the manger while the COWS are milked.
The floor, and in fact the whole build
ing-which should be used exclusively
for milking purposes-.may be kept as
clean as parlor, and instead Of milking
being drudgery, it may be really at
tractive and interesting piece Of work.
