Not Cholera.


Friday morning DIR. Beck, of o. Riving-
ton street, called at the Eldridge Street
station and said that he had been called
to attend another immigrant in Orchard
street who came on the Russia from
Hamburg, and whose symptoms were
the same and much more aggravated.
DIR. Beck expressed the belief, in spite of
the health inspectors report, that both
his patients were suffering from choi-
crime.
The two cases were thoroughly investi-
gated by the health officers, who, after
q most careful diagnosis, reported both
the men to be suffering from acute
diarrhna. Both the patients were much
better Friday morning, and on fair
way to recovery.
The steerage passengers Of the steam
ship Gallia, new in quarantine, were
put aboard the steamboat William
Fletcher and transferred to Hoffman's
Island Friday morning.
A representative of the United Press
called upon Collector Hendricks Friday
morning in regard to the stand taken by
Health Officer Jenkins in the matter of
the presidents quarantine proclamation.
The collector said: "Our instructions
are clear as to vessels coming from
cholera ports. We will hold them under
these orders twenty days unless modi-
fication is received from Washington,
whether the health officer says they may
come up or not. Passengers will be
held with the cargo and none will be
permitted to come on land.
"As to vessels already in the harbor
and not yet entered, although passed by
the health officer, | have telegraphed
for special instructions and until re-
ceived they will be detained, / repeat,
the customs authorities will hold vessels
from quarantined ports the required
twenty days, health officer or no health
officer"
The city authorities Friday voted $lO.-
600 for the fitting up of the barge offered
by the st. Johns Guild for the reception
OF cholera patients.

The Tanning of a Terror.

the numerous killers always plenti-
full in such places. One day a green,
gawky lad from Indiana struck the
town. He was the most harmless look
ing tenderfoot that ever furnished
cheap fame for a professional bad man.
Although more than 20 years old he
seemed never before to have been free
from his mothers apron-string. Poca-
hontas picked him up at once. There
was a large crowd in front of the lead
ing saloon when the Hoosier came
shambi.ng by. Pocahoutas quizzed
him awhile and then ordered him TO
dance. The youngster protested that
he did not know how, but his tormen-
tor offered to teach him. lie did SO
by shooting all around his feet. The
Hoosier danced until POcahontas had
emptied his pistol, then he walked up
to him and inquired: Say, mister,
wot do I git fer this excrbition?' As
he put the question he twined one
brawny hand in the Dig beard and
drew the other back like a railmaker's
maui. Il think you've had erbout $50
worth O. fun with me- sail the dancer
as he gave the beard another twist
that brought the terror TO his knees

over a $2) gold piece, and that night

In the Wrong Roost.

Conductor j. NJ. Reed has quite a
curiosity and a pet at his home in
this city in the sha pc OF a full-grown
and very much alive pelican. A few
nights ago when Conductor Reeds
train pulled into Minot, some of the
rtrainmen in strolling around after
supper noticed a number ofvery large,
very white and very strengthening
bipeds on the street in the edge of
the town. Harry Walker secured a
shotgun and killed two OF the feath-
cred tribe, which proved to be peli-
cans. a large flock had settled near
the village and the whole town gave
the birds chase, some with guns and
other fire arms, some with clubs to
secure their prey. The birds circled
TO the town when the lights appar-
emily blinded them, and before they
could get away, five of them were cap
tured alive and nine had been killed.
Conductor Reed was among the five
who secured a live bird, and he
brought it home with him. The pei
lean is a very large and handsome,
yet homely bird. OF a pure white color
and large in form. it is disfgured by a
large sack shape appendage on the
lower jaw, into which it scoops its
food. and when in the water, where
it delights to float, it uses this bag to
catch fish and other d~elicacies to be
found in the water, and upon which
it feasts.-Crooksson Times.

Garden and Desert in One Year.

In the spring, in the year when rain
has fallen for two months. the karroo
region, South Africa, in the northern
part of Cape Colony is a flower garden
As far as the eye can reach stretch
blotches of white and yellow and pur-
pie fig flowers. Every foot of Karroo
sand is broken up by small Towering
lilies and wax flowers. In a space a
few feet square you may sometimes
gather fifty kinds. In the crevices of
the rocks little hard-leaved towering
air plants are growing. At the end OF
two months the bloom is over. the
bulbs have did back into the ground
BY millions. tl,a fig blossoms are with
cred, the karrCo assumes the red and
brown tints which it wears all the rest
of the year. Sometimes there is no
spring. At intervals of a few years
great droughts occur, when no rain
falls.
For ten or thirteen months the sky
is cloudless. The Karroo bushes drop
their leaves and are dry, withered
stalks; the fountains fail, and the dams
are fioored with dry, baked mud, which
splits up into little squares; the sheep
and goats die by thousands, and the
Karroo is a desert. 1t is to provide
for these long rainless periods that all
the plant life in the karroo is modi-
fed. Nothing that cannot retain life
habitually for six months, and at need
for .wice that time, without rain a
exist here. The Karroo bush itself
proIides against drought by roots of
enormous length, stretching under
ground to a depth of many feet. At
the end OF a ten months'drought, when
the earth is baked brickdust for two
feet from the surface. if you break the
dried stalk of a Karroo bush three
inches high you will find running
down the center a tiny thread of pale,
green-tinted tissue still alive with sap.

Acres Per Cow.

The number of pasture acres re-
quired to support q COW must be gov
erned entirely by the amount of grass
produced. A flush pasture suffers less
by reason of tramping than a scant
one because the cattle are soon salts
fed and stop to ruminate. While the
rich pasture is increasing its store, the
inferior pasture suffers from treading
and check to the growth of grass; be-
cause plants must have surface growth,
or the roots, in turn, cannot reach out
after new supplies of food.
A large pasture has also the advant-
age of variety of plants. or the same
kinds growing under different condi-
tions, which tends to make stock con-
tented. The editorial observation of
the Homestead that cattle almost regu-
larlv visit different portions of the
pasture in order to partake of the va
riety afforded agrees with the action
of cattle on this farm. We have also
noticed that stock prefer the coarser
plants when moistened with dew-eat-
ING in the swales in the morning and
toward night. The same is true OF
sheen.

Books as Tools.

No farmer will attempt TO work
without tools, but in making up their
outfit many CT them seem to forget
that books and farm papers are tools.
Not only this, but they also teach how
TO use other tools TO the best adyant-
age, and so should have a first place.
Twenty-Five dollars viii purchase a
good, practical working library, n
that will include Standard works on
soils, ~pasturing, tillage, manuring,
dairying, stock raising, sheep hus-
bandry. fruits, gardening, and be, in
fact, q complete reference library for
every department of the farm. Such
a library with one or more papers, if
well studied, would save or help TO
earn much more than their cost every
year, and would be of more value than
any other tool or implement in your
possession. If you have children they
will help to educate and interest them
just in the lines of work that yon wish
them to follow, and will frequently be
the means of intoxicating a liking for
some speciality that they can take up
and pursue proitably, without inter-
fering at all with the ordinary course
of the farm work. Have a library OF
such tools by all meaps.-Hodrd's

An O~utspoken Pastor Floggcd by one OF

A New Orleans special to the e

day forenoon by exasperated PARISH
toners. The pastor had become
unpopular on account of his plain
speech on various occasions, ana
matters reached a crisis when be
made the rounds Of the town iast
week, going from store to store, ana
seeming to take pains to say that u
women Of the place were rnchaste
and that the whole town was cess
pool of ,niquity. Amore than usually
large number attended church sun
day. At the close of the service u. =
NJ. Burke. a leading citizen, arose IN
his pew and asked the women to retlre,
but requested the men to remain.
The women withdrew and Burke
proceeded to the pulpit, where Dr.
Bridger remained. Burke asked the
minister if he had made statements
about the women Of h place
accredited to him and received the
reply that he had. The minister
added that he would stand by the
allegations, as they were true in every
particular. No sooner had he
uttered the remark than Burke
drew a cowhide and proceeded to dust
the ministers garments to his hearts
content. DR.. Bridger did not finch

VULCAN IN PErTICoArs.
Asan Francisco Girl Opens up a New Field
of Wompn's Work.

of Women's Work.
An iron piano lamp in the form of
a gracefully tapering hammer worked
shaft, supported on a tripod of claws
and expanding at the top into an urn
of ironwOrk, is evidence that Miss Ray
Beyeridge, of SanFrancisco, is a
blacksmith, though probably the only
exponent of the trade extant.
Miss Beverage, though but in her
teens, has developed much Of the
manual dexterity which seems to be
a characteristic of the Beverage
family, and which in her sister,
Kuhne, took the direction of model
ing in clay. Miss Rays fondness for
hammering and tinkering was so
manifest that some months ago she
matriculated at the Cogswell Poly
technic school, and has since pursued
her studies and practice in smith
work under Matthews the instructor
in blacksmithing atthe school.
Her knowledge is more than a smat-
tering, and on lesson days Miss Bev-
eridge prepares herself for her work
in a way that shows her enthusiasm.
Old boots that-cannot be harmed by
the dust and grit of a forge room are
worn. Skirts of nc value but for
such uses clOthe her, and when she
appears in the smithy with sleeves
rolled up and arms barred like tthose
of any other blacksmith there is no
suggestion of daintiness OF u~nfltneSs
for the labor in hand.
Instructor Matthews is proud of his
unique pupil, andh has taken pains to
perfect her in all the details Of metal
working. Miss Beyeridge breaks up
her coal, starts her forge fire in regu-
lation style, blows it into welding
heat, and sets about the special work
in hand quite as heartily as any of
the boys in the school. Her strength
is not sufficient to enable her to do
heavy welding, and when that is nee
essary the instructor lends a hand;
but in the ordinary manipulations she
prides herself upon being quite indie
pendent, and her work is both neatly
and artistically done. She has given
especial study to the milking OF
brackets, stands of various sorts and
other light forging, and believes that
a new direction for the energies of
women has been discovered.
Miss Beverage is arranging to set
up a blacksmith shop Of her W in
the city, and will endeavor to induce
ladies of her acquaintance to join her
in founding a school Of design in or
namental iron work for women. The
field has heretofore been filed by men,
but it is believed by Miss Beveridge
that women a easily supplant them
by reason Of delicacy of design and a
greater knowledge Of the possibilities
in the way OF house ornamentation.
Miss Beveridge intends TO continue
her studyat the Coggswell school un.
til she has mastered her art and can
be graduated as a competent black.
