A Farm Without a Whip,

There is beautiful farm just back of Ocean Springs, Miss, owned by MT. Parker Earle, who, very wisely, allows no man on the place to use a whip on any of the stock. It is said that there is but one old whip on the farm, proba- bly, a relic of some other owner, but the old whip is not used, and the farm does and never feel the lash.

Lemon SaueeZer.

One of the best lemon squeezers ever invented has just been patented. It is designed especially for hotel keepers, and others whose business includes that of making lemon squashes and similar drinks It is worked by the foot, and can be operated quickly and easily. It consists of sliding bracket containing a cup for the lemon and superlying stud for pressing the same, a glass fit- ting underneath. Pressure is made by the foot on a treadle, to which is at tached an iron rod, the other end of which is connected to the sliding squeezer. Care has been taken in the design to avoid all sharp edges, and the cups are made of the hardest iron stone china, and extra thick to avoid all risk of breakage. The cost is stated to be less than that of the screw presses now in use, and the speed with which the squeezer can be manipulated and it's simplicity are excellent recommend ations.-New York Commercial Ad- yertiser

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.


 The skinned and dressed carca of an animal that lay in the freight room Of the depot the other day. attracted no special attention until somebody made the observation that Dr Ross had shot deer in the Adirondack, as related in last weeks NEWS, and was to ship 1t to Canaan. Immediately the "corpse" took on 8 new interest and was quickly surrounded by gaping crowd of cur ious observers, who found no difficulty in identifying the remains as Adlron- dack veinson, slain at the hands of Dr Ross. and the Identification was chnch- ed by expert testimony backed up by the confrmstory comments of con- noisseursL The long, shapely neck; the graceful symmetry of the body; the slender legs with their self-evident ca- pacity for speed and agility; the supple ness of the joints; the toughness and hexibility of the he1or muscles and leg tendons, etc, all these anatomical characteristics of the deer were plainly apparent and were pointed out and ex- pounded and expatiated by the more confident wise-acres in the surroun ling group, in O convincing manner that swept away every lingering shadow of doubt as to the personality of the dead critter. .sAnd then," pursued the most knowing one, with the air of spec ialist and expert in deerology," just look at the tint and tenderness of the flesh; tell you when you see meat of that delicate pink color, and having that peculiar, sweet smell. you can make up your mind that's deer, every time. And then just look at that tail, will you; just see how long and slim and straight and flexible it is-just like the snapper end of horse whip: why, anybody could tell that's deer's tail"
 "Well, by goshr' ejaculated by stander, who, up to his time had remain ed silent, ''1 hain't never seen DO deer, but I've seen pitchers of 'em in books, an none of the pitchers of deers that ever seen wasn't built that way; they had their tails drove Tn most out O sight-kind O bob-tailed like"
 sWell, that's all you know about deers'tails," retorted the other. You're big enough to know that there's differ ent kinds of deers' and different kinds of deers' tails"-and there began hot and spirited discussion of the orthodox length of the tail of g properly constructed deer, which was becoming exciting and threatened to develope into knock-dow fight, when Butcher Dave Walters, the n.arketman, D. appeared on the scene. Elbowing his way through the group. he picked up the carcass, slung it across his shoulder and politely requested:
 "Gentlemen, if you'll give me room enough to get through, I'll take this cayf out of your way; it's one I had butchered up in East Canaan yesterday.
 It didn't take long for the crowd to disperse, and while a portion hung around tile place and shook their sides with laughter, the others exercised their hexor muscles and leg tendons in hssty pursuit of secluded spot where they might commune and ponder on the in consistency of thata mysterious chance of creation which decrees that while calf is never deer, yet 8 man may sometimes be j.ckass JAR.

A Big Strike Probable,

CHICAGO, May ia serious strike is
expected to occur on the Chicago & North
western road tomorrow morning. The
difficulty is with the switchmen. Great
secrecy is maintained tonight both by the
employees and officials, with the result
that the question is an open one whether
the trouble will not involve the whole sys-
tenn. 1t is known the company is making
preparations for the struggle in the city at
least, as number of police have
been ordered for reseve duty in
the northern part of the city tomorrow
morning. The strike is the outcome of the
reinstatement of switchmen obnoxious TO
the switchmen about whom there has been
much controversy. Several weeks ago
Yardmaster McNerney incurred the dis
pleasure of the switchmen working under
fused to obey orders.
The switchmen threatened to strike if Nc
Nerney was not discharged. The latter is
q member OF the order of railway train
men and that body took up his fight, but he
saved the company embarrassment by re-
signing temporarily. Then the strikers
demanded that one of the discharged
switchmen be put in McNerney's place.
This was done and the switchmen were
iubilant. Now the trainmen of all divi-
slons of the road have taken up McNerney's
case and it is expected bitter struggle
will ensue. 1t is a peculiar struggle, in
that it is the company and large majority
of the employees arrayed against the order
of sWitchmen

WARM SPRINGS OPENS
Hank Barnes Sets 'em Up to the
City Council.
Mayor Scott and Others Inspect the New
Buildings and Pronounce
them Good.

Hank Barnes and Colonel Byrnes, hav-
ing completed the new buildings, pools and
baths at the Warm Springs, invited Mayor
Scott, the members of the city council and
number of prominent citizens to inspect
the same last evening. About fifty per-
sons responded to the invitations, including
representatives of the local press.
The buildings pools and private baths
were a surprise to all those who were IN
acquainted with the extensive improve
ments that have been made.
No one expected to find vast building
llOx75, the roof supported by 110-foot
truss, with n foot strain-by 90 feet the
largest IN the territory-and all this space
hlled with plunges, porcelain bath tubs
and dressing rooms. There are ten ladies'
plunges, 1115xl215, and four private
plunges for gentlemen. The large swim
ming pool is 40x45 feet, with eighteen pri-
vate dressing rooms about it. The parti-
tons are very neat and inviting, being
made of red WOOD with white wood trim
mings.. All the wood work is finished in
oil, as paint cannot be used on account of
the sulphur which escapes from the water
The ladies' dressing rooms are quite tasty,
being carpeted and furnished with mirrors
There are twenty eight private baths
which have porcelain tubs, which are quite
an innovation on the old wooden boxes that
did service in the past.
All the arrangements are cheerful and
inviting, and the pools are made of cement,
smoothed to polished finish, so that there
is no place for dirt or filth to accumulate.
After thorough Inspection of building
and baths the genial Hank invited the
visitors to a lunch which he had prepared,
aud this was as palatable as could be made.
The salads were especially fine in flavor,
and the liquid refreshments were of the
kind that inspire ibations and flow of
speech.
Mayor Scott was brim full-of speech
and he congratulated Messrs. Barnes &
Byrnes on the very liberal way in which
they not only filed their contract with the
city but had greatly exceeded the amount
stipulated in the bond.
with all these facilities for bathing.
they can no longer say that this is not q
clean administration" said the mayor with
pardonable eXultation.
Judge Powers congratulated Messrs
Barnes d Byrnes for the splendid accom-
modations they had supplied and dwelt at
length upon the miraculous powers of these
waters, citing the phenomenal cures that
had been wrought on Martin Lannan, he
having been troubled with weak stomach.
After three separate visits to the springs,
Mr.. Lannan was cured by taking the water,
not IN The plunges, but from the small bot
ties that grace the sideboards
Major Bird told an amusing anecdote
about the man who couldn't take anything
but could suck an egg. Mr. Glendin-
ning's speech was greatly cheered, and
Colonel Nick Treweek made masterful
effort, but could get no farther on than-"I
have something to sayl"
There was an unqualified unanimity of
opinion that Messrs. Barnes & Byrnes
were entitled to great credit for the way
they had fitted up the place.

The Canadian Pacific railway has secured
very handsome amount OF free advertis-
ing, although at "a considerable outlay, by
accomplishing last week very remark
ably rapid run across the continent. The
immediate occasion was the desire TO reach
New York with the mails frum the com
pany's new steamer, Empress Of India,
which arrived at Vancouver April IS
after quick passage from Japan. and
IN order to reach the next Gamer for Liv-
erpool 1t was necessary 10 beat the time of
the regular trains. PresidenG Van Horn,
who was at Vancouver waiting for the
steamer, which had been delayed by bad
weather, made up special train consist
ing OF baggage, two steepers and Two
official cars, and with a small party started
on the journey on the evening of April IS
and reached Montreal on the afternoon of
April 2, making the journey OF 2,905 miles
IN about ninety hours, an average of about
thirtytw and one-half miles an hour for
the whole vast distance from ocean to
ocean, without allowing for numerous and
necessary stops. This does not equal the
famous run of the jarrett and Palmer train
in june 1876, which covered distance of
1926 miles in about eighty three and three
quarter hours, an average of nearly thirty
nine miles I'm hour, but the Canadian Pa
CHIC train was the heavier, and it was more
In the nature OF regular service train
carrying passengers and mail. The run is
interesting as showing the possibilities of
the great Canadian transcontinental line
for covering the distance between the two
oceans in time of necessity, although the
speed thus attained will not probably be
maintained for regular traffic.
