Diseased Equines Slaughtered and Put
Up for Family Use.
WASHINGTON, Dec 22-The inspectors OF
the bureau Of animal industry on Long
Island have unearthed an abattoir at New
town creek, which they found to be devoted
entirely to the slaughter OF broken down,
crippled horses. Many Of these horses were
diseased and some Of them affected with
glanders. 1t was found that most of the
meat was oorned and put up for export as
family beet. The secretary Of agriculture
at once wired the inspectors at the port Of
shipment to stop such exports and imrne-
diately notified local boards Of health. The
dealer having learned Of this course, changed
his label and undertook to ship the stuff
abroad as horse meat, under the impression
that he could thus evade the bureau in
spectors
Secretary Rusk, however, did not propose
to permit the intent of the law to be thus
baked, and he is advised that Dr. Robert
son, the chief inspector Of New York, and
Mr. W. Judson Smith, eastern agent Of tho
bureau, seize the entire lot Of seventy-five
tierces and turn it over to the offal dock.
this action being necessary to prevent the
shipment Of the meat on the steamer Ie-
panto for Antwerp The information on
record in the bureau OF animal industry
shows that this nefarious industry has been
carried on for some time in a semi-secret
fashion, but being diligently watched for
some time. Secretary Rusk is to put stop
once and for all to the abominable traffic.

sitting Bulls war-Club.

The recent killing Of Sitting Bull, tho
famous Indian chief, recalls the fact that
Mr.. Max Il. Dickerson, Of Shelby, Ohio,
editor Of the Shelby Free Press, is tho
proud rosscssor Of this great chiefs pri-
waite war club. Mr.. Dickerson secured
the club from Elroy Post. scenic artist
in the employ OF the Union Pacific Rail
road Company, who received Il as q
present from Sitting Bull himself, seve-
raj months ago. Mr.. Post was doing
some work for the railroad company at
the time in and around Sitting Bulls
headquarters, and the chief took great
liking for him, but would have nothing
TO do with the rest OF them en-, although
there were six in the party. He took
Mr.. Post all through his camp, intro
duced him TO different Indians, and made
things as pleasant for him as possible.
Ia return for his kindness Mr.. Post
painted for Sitting Bull two large pict-
ures of his two favorite ponies, Dry
Camp and Never Fret, which so pleased
the old chief that he said he would like
to present him with something in return
for the compliment. Noticing large
war club hanging up in the chiefs tepee,
Mr. Post said he would like to have It.
Sitting Bull mentioned the fact that the
club was an old relic, had been in service
over forty years, passed through numer-
Gus battles, and bcca1sc Of its curiosity
be would give II to him. Upon Mr..
Posts return TO Aberdeen, South Dakota.
some months ago, he shipped the relic to
Mr.. Dickerson, who now has II on cxhi-
biticn in one Of the prominent business
places of this city.
A peculiar coincidence in connection
with the shipping Of the club was tho
fact that the very train that brought tho
club TO Shelby had aboard Sitting Bull,
who was en- route for Washington, D. G.
The club is a vicious-looking weapon,
about two and hall feet long, with a
buffalo horn firmly secured in the club or
heavy end, and bears the signs Of having
seen 4 large amount Of service. Mr..
Dickson has the necessary credentials
70 prove conclusively that the club was
the only one ever used by Sitting Bull,
and that IT is the one used by this chief
during his career Mr.. Dickerson re-
Gently received two different commune
cations from the Smithsonian Institution
at Washington, d. c., relative to the
purchase Of the relic. - Cincinnati En-

A Time-piece Puzzle.

Do you know why four 'T's" are used
to mark the hour on clocks and watches
instead Of the usual combination of Ro-
man numerals, which. if rightly ar
ranged, would be ", instead Of iii. 7
There is tradition among the watch
and clockmakers to the effect that prior
to the year 1879 all clocks and watches
were made with w., the proper charac-
tiers to mark the hour Of four. In the
above-named year clock was made on
an elaborate plan for Charles V. Of
France, surnamed The Wise, who had
the reputation Of being not only q crank
but Of being the greatest Pathfinder in
the world. The clock was beauty and
a fine timekeepeT, but Charles had to find
fault IN order TO keep up his reputation.
He examined il critically and finally
broke out in storm Of rage because the
hour Of four had been marked s.IV. y
that four ILLS should be put
on instead. This was done. and. in order
to perpetuate a kings mistake. has been
kept up through all succeeding years.

known that shoals Of turtles have their

turn every night as regularly as hens TO
tneir roosts, and that each turtle has its
own wallow, or burrow, where it remains
when it is not eating or travelling Hear
ing swishing in the water behind US,
we looked back and saw another large
shoal of sharks following us at a racing
pace. They evidently looked upon our
craft as a good commissariat and were
bound to keep alongside. They APP
preached so close that we could touch
the inns Of some with our hands. but not
caring to have them for company any
longer, we killed several with our revol-
vers. The others turned upon these and
tore them to shreds, and whilst they were
engaged in that business we bent to our
oars and pulled away for dear life.
We reached the ''harborn we sought
in about half an hour and were fortunate
enough to find small shoal of green
turtles feeding on the turtle grass which
grew in the shallow water. We pcgged
shese so rapidly that we filed our boat

weight, the average being about 100
pounds.
