saw-mill of Moncure Il Co., near here, ex-
pioded on Saturday the 29th ultimo, and.

heavy, as tho mill is q complete wreck.

community, as they are excellent gentle
men.
The crops are all good, especially the
corn. which was never better.

The Cat Is q Humorlst.

To speak of the cat as a humorist in any
shape or form sounds, we admit, some
thing very like contradiction in terms.
There are hundreds of people-and by peo-
pie we mean, of course, only those who be-
long to the fraternity of cat lovers, and are
bound by that subtle tie of freemasonry
that unites all the adherents of the white,
the black, the tortoise shell, the gray, the
mustard and the tabby-who are prepared
to maintain that the notion of humor must
be altogether ASSOCIATED from the cat, and
that dignity, degenerating in a few excep-
tional cases into pomposity on the one
hand, or insolence and cynicism on the
other, is her special quality, and indeed
the only one marked enough to deserve
particular attention.
Though we do not altogether agree with
this theory, we are prepared to acknowl-
edge that it is the one ordinarily enter
tanned, and further to admit that up to a
certain point there is a good deal to be said
for it. Looked at merely from one point
of view, cats are all dignity and reserve,
and display hauteur of demeanor which
marks them off as the aristocrats of the
animal world-their absolute refusal to
hurry, even under the greatest provocation,
is alone enough to earn them the right to
rank as natures nobility. We have seen a
tabby with black muzzle who, for cold,
calculated and yet perfectly we'll bred in
science could have given points to spite
full dowager duchess whose daughter-in-
law ''wasn't one of us, you know. "-London
Spectator.

English Conservatism.

The careful and conservative spirit which
characterizes so much of the work done in
England is shown in connection with the
recent splendid piece of work, the City and
South London railway. While many OF
the details of the line are carried out with
the perfection of modern electrical skill,
there are some points in connection with it
which are so much behind modern prog
ress as to appear in measure inconsistent
with the enterprise which characterizes
the rest of the work. 1t appears that the
elevators leading to the underground sta
tions are operated by hydraulic power.
There is good deal of dissatisfaction that
electricity has not been used for this pur-
pose. Nothing could be better adapted for
working lifts than motors, and the saving
in expense would have been considerable.
Unless the elevators are balanced there
is plunger volume of high pressure water
wasted every time each hoist is used,
whereas if the motors were employed the
generator would need supply little more
than the power wasted in general friction.
Another fact which has been freely criti-
cised is the use of an air brake where cleo
trio power is available. 1t has been urged
that the block system arrangements, and
the cut off of the supply from a moving
train in case of necessity, are objections to
its use.
If these are obstacles they can be easily
overcome, and the special leads which sup
ply the carriage lamps could supply the
motive power for the brakes. 1t is argued
that this combination in the same plant OF
hydraulic distribution. compressed air and
electric traction is a somewhat anomalous
one.-New York Commercial Advertiser

Cattle in America.

The first cattle that were brought into
the American colonies were landed at the
James river plantation, in Virginia, in the
year 1907. They came from the West In
dies, and were descendants of cattle taken
to those islands by Columbus on his sec
ond voyage, in 1893. In 1910 several cows
were landed, and in 1911 about 100 head
more were brought to the plantation. This
was the origin of the cattle business in
America In order to encourage the cattle
industry to the fullest possible extent an
order was passed forbidding the slaughter
of any animal of the kind under penalty Of
death. Under this restriction the number
of cattle increased to $1,000 in Virginia
alone by the end of the year 1850.
The first cattle brought to New England
arrived at Plymouth in 1924 They were
imported from England by Governor
Winslow. Three heifers and bull made
up the party. IN color. the old record says,
they were black, black and white and
brindle. In 1926 twelve COWS were sent to
Cape Ann; in 1929, thirty more. In 1880
about 100 were imported for the colony of
Massachusetts Bay. During the years
last above mentioned, 103 cattle had been
sent from Texel, Holland, into New York,
so that by the year 1880 there were a good
many head of horned cattle in the col
onies.
From 1851 to 1858 large number Of cat
tie for those times was brought into New
Hampshire from Denmark. These were
large yellow cattle. Taking all of these
cattle together, they were the foundation
from which all the common native cattle
of our country have descended.-St. Louis
