Drauuht Horses Of Various Nations,

Every nation has its prejudices in
favor of the horses Of their own country
as the best in the world; they get edu-
Gated up to that standard type. In Scot
land they think the Clydesdale the best
draught horse, while the English are
equally as sure that the Shire is the great
model draught horse Of the world. Across
in Belgium every one, from the peasant
to the King and Queen, believe that the
Belgian draught horse is best OF all
breeds, while the Freuchmen think
there are no good draught horses outside
of France. America finds much to adj
mire in each Of these breeds, which are
being so extensively imported aud crossed
upou or native mares and from which
the American draught horse is being
evolved, containing the best points oil
all. There is no patent on any oil these
br ,eds, and we are free to use the points
we like best and graft them on to Auerl-

Eleuhants In the Plow.

Elephants are now turned to agricul'
tural use in Ceylon. Travellers by the
seaside railway can witness the curious
spectacle Of the huge earth-shaking beast
breaking the stubborn glebe with the
aid of a ridiculously disproportioned
pillow. An elephant pillow OF just proper
ton, as far as appearances are concerned.
would be Titanic implement, and would
cleaye chimes and canons where the agri-
culturist looks only for moderate fur
row. But the Swedish pillow, which is
now much used in Ceylon, is more ef-
fective and heavier than the primitive
native instrument, aud the disciplined
power of the elephant makes him an in
valuable substitute for the powerful
draught horses used at home.
The animals are employed in turning
up the soil between cocoanut trees, to
prepare the ground for cotton planting.
An elephant with its driver and coolie
acting as plowmau can thus pillow an acre
a day, at little more than half the cost
of the usual practice Of scratching up
three or four inches of the soil by means
of the Dutch hoe. The Swedish pillow,
drawn by an elephant, does the work
very thoroughly. The ground is eHec-
tually weeded, and the cocoanut trees
benefit by the turning up of the ground
about them. Where elephants are not
employed the primitive light pillow Of the
country is used, drawn by bullOcks or the
curious long-headed native bufaloes-
long headed in physical sense. Intel
lectually, of course, the elephant is in
comparably superior. Buffaloes, for the
heavier Swedish plow, need to be large
and well-fed animals, and the elephants
are found cheaper and more dependable.

Pswnee Rock.

Pswnee rock, in Barton County, Kan,
has long been familiar landmark on
the old Santa Fe trail. II is an Immense
pile of sandstone about which the
Pawnee Indians used to gather, and at
which, If traditions be true, they made
their last stand against the advance Of
the pioneer white men, giving way at
the end of a bloody battle. A great
deal Of sentimental interest has always
attached to the rock, but II will soon be

sold it to the qusrryman, and It Il

Shooting POrpoises.

In days gone by porpoise catching was
one Of the principal pursuits followed
nv Indians aud whites living on the
shores of the Bay of Fuudy. The
waters of the bay were alive with hne
fish of all kinds, but porpoises we're the
most valuable catch. A fat blubber
would yield from three to five gallons
Of oil. which always brings a good price
in the market.
OF late years porpoise- is con-
fined to a small number of people, VINO
canp out on the beach the year round
They are usually satisfied with lew
dollars at time, and when their money
gives out, they go aud catch a few
more porpoises.
Now this business of hunting proposes
is no boys play. There is a good deal
Of DANCER connected with it, Few peo-
ple have any idea of the amount OF skill,
courage, and endurance required of the
porpoise-shooters in their work. Two
men 90 out together in a csnoe-one TO
nqddle. the other armed with long
snooth.bore gun. In calm weather there
is little danger; but when a storm cones
up. the frail craft pitches and stands on
end in an alarming fashion. Such
thing as shooting porpOises when the
canoe is bobbing up and down would
seem out of the question. And yet
have seen successful shots made under
conditions that would make the eyes OF
some of our Creedmoor ri6emen open
wide with mingled surprise and admira-
ton. The sportsman must have steady
hand and quick eye to make success
Of shooting porpoises. The game must
be shot at as they lift themselves to dive.
In another second it would be too late
This is the critical moment when the
sportsman's nerve is tested. 1t Is the
moment when he needs all the good
Judgment he possesses. Should ne be-
come excited. should his hand and arm
move ever so little, should the canoe
rive sudden pitch, he is sure to miss
his aim and prize. 1t is very exciting
york, and calls for sporting blood.
After you have shot your porPoise,
the next thing is to land him. That il
the most difficult and dangerous part oil
the hunters work. Just try to lift a
200 or 800 pound fish over the side OF
frail canoe, and you will have a better
idea of the undertaking than any one
can give you. From the way some
writers speak of this, one might think
that it was an easy task. | have seen
only one or two hunters who could do
it, and even they preferred to tow their
prey to shore.-Harpsr's Young People.

Royal Incomes in England.

"The amount of the Queens civil list
1885, O0O," says Lsbouchere, editor Of
the London Truth, in the October Forum,
tin no way represents the cost OF roy
atty. The maintenance of palaces is
most costly item, for it includes not only
the palaces inhabited by the sovereign,
but vast number of houses in which
she lodges her relatives and friends. One
of these houses has actually been given
to the Due de NemouTs, a son or Louis
Philippe, and one OF the wealthiest oil
the Orleans family. Beside this, there
is the building and keeping in repair OF
royal yachts, and various other such
costly items Incomes, too, are voted to
the sons and daughters Of the sovereign
and to other of her relatives. In addl-
ton to the revenues of the Duchy of
Cornwall, amounting to about ESQ, 600
per annum, an income of ESQ, 900 per
annum has been voted to the Prince Of
Wales, and of go, 900 per annum to the
Princess Of Wales. The younger sons of
the Queen have been voted incomes Of
EOS, 900 per annum, a portion OF which
devolves upon their wives il they survive
them. The daughters Of Her Majesty
have each an income Of $4,000 per an
mum, and in addition to this the En-
press Frederick Of Germany received
sum Of R1OO, 900 on her marriage. The
Duke of Cambridge, as cousin Of the
Queen, has el2, 900 per annum, and his
two sisters have severallY an income Of
$4,000 and $4,000 per aunum."

WELL LIGHTED STABLES.

Nearly twenty years ago we we're look
ing over a fine herd of dairy cows, owned
By a very intelligent dairymau in New
York. The COWS we're standing in the
yard, and we were much impressed by
the strong indications Of tone, vigor and
thrift which marked every animal in the
herd. On inquiry we found that they
were not highly fed, yet they looked aud
appeared batter than some herds that
consumed much larger daily ration.
The owner explained the mystery by say
ing that he ascribed the superior con
dition of his COWS very largely to the
care he had taken IN the construction Of
the stable, to have it we'll lighted His
stable was on the south and east side Of
the barn, and the wall was filled with
windows with double sash. the stable
was as light as day in every part of it.
The owner reported that be had noticed
two peculiar effects: ~ The color Of
the butter was much higher. Sunlight
was the secret. One principal reason
why winter butter is so much whittier than
summer butter is that the cows do not
receive as much sunlight il the stable as
in the pasture. o. He believed the
light, and consequent increase of heat,
decreased the consumption of food. AT
any rate he thought he could winter his
COWS in the new, we'll lighted stable,
with considerable saving Of food over
what was consumed in the old stable. -

HARRISBURG. Sept. 2s-Quite q sensa
tion has been created here and throughout
the state by the proclamation issued Sat
urday night by Governor Pattison conven.
ing the senate in extraordinary session or
Tuesday, Oct 49, 1891. The preamble sets
forth that grave charges have been made
against the auditor general and state
treasurer, most seriously rejecting upon
the discharge Of their official duties; that
it is proper diligent inquiry should be
made to ascertain whether or not treason
able cause" exists for their removal: that
there is conviction in the public mind
that they have been grossly inefficient and
entirely wanting in due fidelity, and that
IL the charges be established the senate
should take action looking to the removal
of the officials. -
1t is also set forth that much Of the state
money, lost through Bardsley, would be
in the treasury If the auditor general and
state treasurer had performed their duties:
with fidelity, and further that Bardsley's
refusal to disclose any information what
ever as to the conduct Of these officials ha.
compelled the abandonment of proposed
criminal prosecutions, at least for time
Proper inquiry by the senate, the governor
thinks, may develop evidence sufficient tt
satisfy its membsfs that reasonable cause
exists for the removal of the auditor gen
eral and state treasurer.

Month. but Thoy VIII Not Go Unless
the Junta Gets Saucy Again.
WASHINGTON, Sept S0.--Chili is coming
to her senses. The junta has withdrawn
the guard from Minister Egan's house and
the petty prosecutions to which he has
been subjected have ceased. Such is the
substance of a telegram received from Mr..
Egan at late hour. 1t Is quite probable
also that no further attempts will be made
TO molest the refugees who have sought
shelter at the American legation. Presi.
dent Harrison believes that the troubles at
Santiago are now practically over. He
believes, too, that Chili's backdown is due
to the firm stand taken by this govern
ment, and that, had we not acted so
promptly, the gravest consequences must
have ensued
Minister Egan's Ultimatum.
The exact nature of Minister Egan's
instructions are not made public. 1t Il
known, however. that he informed the
junta that the United States would toler
ate no further indignities either upon him
self or the refugees who had sought the
shelter of our flag. This brought the junta
to its senses, and according to Mr.. Egan'.
telegram IL is now extricating itself as
gracefully as possible from its awkward
position. The troubles, of course are not
wholly over. More or less friction will nc
doubt result as long as Mr.. Egan remains
at Santiago, but the acute symptoms have
passed.
Some of the Outrages.
From Minister Egans dispatches and
from those of Captain Schley, of the Balti.
more, the junta placed a guard around
the American legation at Santiago and ar.
rested two of Minister Egans servants.
The junta also put a guard around the
Baltimore to prevent refugees from going
aboard, and Captain Schley complains OF
insolent and harsh treatment generally OF
the officers aud men of the vessel and
other Americans in that vicinity. There
seems to be no doubt that the junta has
been unnecessarily severe and uncivil in
its treatment of Americans.
Denied by Secretary Tracy.
The report that orders have been issued
to the squadron of evolution or any of the
vessels thereof to prepare for service at
Valparaiso is positively denied by both
Secretary Tracy and Commander Ramsey.
The departments will wait for further de.
velopmeut before anything of this kind is
done There is nothing that would please
naval officers here more than to see the
squadron of evolution dispatched at once
for Chilian waters in order to get good
practical test of what the new navy could
do in the way of meeting an emergency.
They claim the squadron could reach Val
paraiso in thirty days.
