try? Every american flag made OF hunt
ing was made IN Great Britain, or some
other foreign country. We could not
make it, because there was no protective
tariff on bunting. A piece of bunting then
cost from $50 TO $50. III seemed humiliat-
ing 10 think that all American flags should
be made in a foreign country.
One day Gen. Benjamin +. Butler
went to the secretary of the navy. and sug-
gested something should be done To en-
courage the manufacture of American
bunting. A young man was sent to England
t0 learn the business, and duty at 40 per
cent. was placed on imported bunting.
They started in Lowell with l. looms. and
what was the result? There are $4,000
looms making bunting in this country. and
all American flags are made from Ameri-
can material. We make the best bunting
on earth. and the price is only SlS instead
OF S25, or S35.
The history of bunting is the history OF
every other article made under protection.

bunting?

SAM LAZARUS, wealthy stockman OF
Sherman, Texas, says 1.-THE methods OF
raising cattle are changing rapidly. IL
n few years there will be no more large
cattle ranches containing thousands OF
acres of land. AS the country is becom
ing settled the large ranches are being
cut into smaller ones, and there are ever
100 acre farms now where formerly i'm
IN nse ranches were seen. "ln the Pan
handle. whore some Of the largest ran
cbes in Texas are located, civilization il
breaking in, and it is only matter Of 6
few wears until farm houses will dot the
prairies where the cowboys now swing
assoes in immense round-ups All the
large ranchmen are selling some of theii
land. At one time had 800, 600 acrei
in nv ranch, bu. have sold it off unit
now have only about 100000 acres
That's the way all the big ranches are
going, and it won't be long until they
will be still further reduced. None OF
the big ranchmcn absolutely owned al
the land in their ranches. Large sec
tions of it were school lands, which they
lease and controlled along with the
lands which they owned. But this Pan.
handle country has proved to be one OF
the finest whca. growing sections in the
world. and it will not be long before il
will be pretty thoroughly settled up
But the outcome in the cattle business
will be that Texas will send better
grade of cattle to the market. Now the
impression prevails in the East that
when these large cattle ranches are
broken up into small farms there will be
q large decrease in the number of cattle
raised and that some day there may be
frightful scarcity of cattle on the mar
ket in this country. When the country
is cut up into farms every farmer will
have his six or eight COWS an small
bunch of cattle and number of calves.
He will take good care of them in the
winter. and the loss will be compare.
lively nothing, so far as the stock dying
is concerned. The cattle from the farms
will be corn fed, and they will be of the

Kndden Promnnpn.

In the latter half of the sixteenth
century the little province OF Tran
lsylvaDia was in state Of revolution
and consequent disorder. Finally
there came a time Wien there was no
ruler, and the Turkish Sultan sent
word to Ali Pasha, then at Maros
,Vasarhely, that, come what might, a
Prince of Pennsylvania must be
elected. Ali Pasha was in quandary.
He stood at his window, as the story
runs, meditating upon his sover'
eign's commands, not knowing what
to do, and yet afraid to do nothing,
when he saw a tall, strong man cross
ing the market-place.
At that time, and especially IN
that country, a strong arm wax me
best patent of nobility. At home Ali
Pasha had seen the lowest slaves
lifted to places Of power. He sent a
messenger into the markct-place with
orders to bring the tall, strong man
into his presence. The order was
obeyed, and as the stranger entered
he was greeted with the words, "You
must be Prince of Pennsylvania"
al" exclaimed the astonished
prince-elect. IL know nothing
about government can't read OF

mo matter for that" said All
Pasha; "a man may be an excellent
regent though he cannot read"
But the butcher was not ambitious
and still resisted.
IF you want man as Prince OF
Transatlantic, he said, IL can tell
YOU of one who has no eqnal. II you
will, let us go and find him. l will
lead you"
With five hundred Turkish horse
men Ali Pasha and the butcher rode
to Malmkrog and surrounded the
castle of Michael Apaffi, whom they
hailed at once as prince, carried t
Maros Vasarhely, and proclaimed az
regent. This was in 1861, and the
prince thus chosen remained in power
until his death, in 1890.

Where Parrots Come From.

On Sixth avenue elevated train the
other evening was short, thin man,
tanned evidently by exposure in the
tropics. He carried, covered over with
a plaid bingham apron, a curious, old
fashioned cage in which there was fine
young green parrot. "This parrot" he
said, ais young bird, and as you sec
well-tIained- There are two ways OF
getting these birds, by trapping aud by
catching the young birds in the nest. A
trapped bird is wild and it takes two
years to train it, for it bites aud fights
like 'soger.' This young one was
trained in twelve months. Every six
weeks go to Venezuela on a sailing ves
sci and try to bring back fifty parrots
with me. The Indians Glitch them UP
the Orinoco River, and whenever a vessel
comes into port their is lively scramble
on the part of the natives who have par
rots or anything else to dispose Of. The
training of parrots is regular business
for many of the natives in the seaport
towns of Venezuela, aud whenever |
have touched at the ports OF Brazil or
Col imbia found it much the same, ex-
cept that Brazilian parrots are harder to
get along the coast. Indians do nearly
all of the training, far w in the interior.
"This parrot is for friend Of mine in
Forty-ninth street, to whom l have
promised one for two years but never
could pick up a really fine one. When 1
am in port have so little time that l
have to take such birds as are Offered.

they have no business on the farm.
Wheat is one of the best feeds you can
give fowls to produce eggs; it is also
good to feed young chicks alter they are
a week or two old, for their evening

Don't permit hogs and fowls in the

Do You Kn6w -FOUR Letterse

Any man who can read would prob
ably resent such an imputation OF ig.
nOrance as this question conveys.
"Do you know your letters?" is what
Is asked the little tot when he or she
first sets foot in school. But grown
up men and women may be pardoned
for believing they are speaking the
truth when they answer Eyes" to the
question. The chances are, however,
that they don't know their letters.
Why has ga" its present shape?
Stumped the first time! Every
American ought to know that A
takes its shape from picture Of an
eagle. B was once the picture OF an
Egyptian bird. ID represented a
mans hand. T was the horned viper.
The two upper strokes are the re-
mains Of the horns and the perpen-
dicular line the upright body Of the
viper. II was once the semblance OF
a sieve. We got our letters from the
Phenician alphabet, which IN turn
came from the hieroglyphic picture

of your knowledge next time you arc
