spring story From Georgia.

A Georgia farmer is raising two
calves that are being brought up to
help themselves, land as consequence
require less care. They are kept in
the barn near we'll, from which
water is taken by common cistern
pump, and whenever they want a
drink they pump it. One pumps
while the other puts his mouth
under the spout and drinks, and
they take a turn about.

ss.n. xxurr relt Yesterday, but There e
4hxslute1y No Danger - tie

Several slight shocks were felt by
passengers On the electric hines yes

fr;fiine nature. The conditions we're
Favorable for touches Of the electric
current, TIE atmosphere being moist
and The streets sloppy. There Y ar
solntely no danger, however, m
riding In electric cars, nc matter
what may be the conditions Of the
weather. Professor Nipher, Of
Washington University, was seer
last evening and informed OF the
shocks. When asked about the
risks passengers encounter on cleo
trio lines he said:
when one talks Of the dangers
from electric wires one should spe-
city conditions If q man lies down
on a wet rallway track and the
trolley wire falls down upon him
and stays in contact with him tor
half an hour, he would be very
likely to get serious injury ~

such an experiment. II ne were 20

which would be very unpleasant. ~

wishes to get such a shock, put
there is no real danger to healthy

from heart disease such shock
might result in instant death. Il q
person stands on the ground At q
point where one steps from the car
the shock would be still less, ana II

wholly inappreciable.'

the trolley wirei''
1.-THE worst shock which one
could get from trolley wire if he
were to stand with wet shoes on a
wet rail Of track touching the troll
lev wire with his hand, would net be
dangerous, but it would be unpleas-
ant. / do not say man might not
be killed il the wire were to be thus
ia contact for 4 long time. You
could Kill 4 man with your fists by
pounding him all day. The dangers
to passengers in an electric car
which is in the worst possible order
are not worth considering. There
Il no danger Of even burn. A
passenger can only make contact
with the ground with his feet and
with some metal part Of the car with
his hands. The resistance Of the
whole BODY protects him from SCI
rious danger. The slight shocks
that one NAV get within a car which
Is very wet are not the least danger

ABOUT ANIMALS.

1t is said that if the "voice" of
an elephant were as loud in proper
ton as that Of a nightingale, his
trumpeting could be heard around
the world.
Virginia, Maryland and North
Carolina each has two species of
lizard provided with three eyes.
Danville, Ind, has cat which
rings the bell whenever she wants
TO be admitted to the house.
Cats die at an elevation of 13, 900
feet even though they are reputed
to have thine lives'' when on
level with the ocean. Dogs and men
can climb the greatest known
natural elevations.
A race was won at Liverpool re-
Gently by horse that had under
gone the operation Of tracheotomy
to cure roaring. The fact that he
had silver tube in his throat did
not seem to impede his speed.
Three tame buffaloes mingle fra
ternally with the herds OF cattle on
the farm Of William Weaver, Of
Durbin, Ore. Mr.. Weaver has been
offered several thousand dollars for
them, but he will keep possession of
them, and send them to swell the
collection of curios at the Worlds
Fair.
On every horse will be found, on
the inside of each foreleg, dry,
gray wart about the size of a silver
dollar. apparently of no possible
use. When the weary overtaxed
animal, sweating at every pore and
covered with foam, can reach down
and rub with his wet nose this al
ways dry hard substance, he is in
stantly refreshed with an odor like
geranium.
Charles Johns, of Fort Lee, shot
a bird the other day that is pazzling
the taxider mists and naturalists in
the vicinity. The head and beak
are like those Of pigeon. It has
blue-jay wings and tail, AMI the
breast and body Of pheasant. 1t
is about the size of a dove. Some
think it is cross between three
birds, an instant which naturalists say
is extremely rare among wild birds.
Mr.. Johns says the bird uttered a
very peculiar cry, which attracted
his attention. The bird is stuffed
and on exhibition.
Among birds that have the power
of imitation the parrot is supposed
to talk the best; but, as matter of
fact, its voice is decidedly inferior
to that Of the mynah, species of
starting, of which there are examples
at the London geological gardens.
Curiously enough the male bird
speaks in high, clear tone, like
that of child, while the female has
a gruff voice. The mynahs are fond
of showing off their vocal powers to
visitors to the gardens.
Giant squids or calamaries are
eaten. They are ferocious creatures,
and it is of them that so many
stories are told as to their attacking
boats and even ships. They weigh
sometimes many thousands of
pounds, having two enormously
long tentacles with which to seize
prey and eight shorter ones to hold
it, all armed with powerful suckers.
These animals possesses an approach
to brain, inclosed in cartilaginous
skull. One of them would furnish
food for a frigate.

A FEW CLIPPINGS.

In the fight that has been made
against the alien land law the San An
tonic Express has dealt perhaps the
hardest blows for Texas. just to re-
mind the Legislature of its duty it says:
II the members of tho Texas legis-
lature wish to do good thing in a
very little time they have it in their
power 1t would require mighty lit
tie trouble and use up but few Of
the golden moments to place upon its
final passage an act to repeal an act
entitled an act to prevent the alien
ownership of lands in Texas.
The Sherman Register is not par.
tioular about where the convention is
held but promises that North Texas
will be Sin it" when the fun begins.
1t says:
"Houston and Lampasas secured
the conventions and North Texas was
left out in the cold. 1t does not mat
ter where the conventions are held,
but North Texas will be in it when it
comes to nominating a governor"
And what is better North Texas is
for Clark.
The San Antonio Express pays this
compliment to Judge Gerald:
In Justice to the Hon. G. B. Gerald,
membe of the house Representatives
from McLennan county, it should be
stated that when he has thing to say
he says it and does not take half a
day. He is a man with the courage Of
his convictions, and is able to become
more thoroughly convinced than any
one j.. Texas.

Tammany Hedging ana New York May

NEW YORK, June SIT is learned that
meeting of the Hill delegation to Chi
cago had been called for next Tuesday
evening ut the Hoffman House. Hill ex.
poets to be present. Commissioner Gilroy
admitted that the meeting had been
called. But he impatiently said that he
did not know IL Mr.. Hill would attend it.
There is some talk among the little
Tammany men OF arranging graceful
backdown for Hill at the meeting
The omission Of all mention Of the name
of David B. Hill at the Tammany meet
ing Thursday night, when the mayor and
legislature were indiscriminately lauded,
is regarded about the city hall as another
proof that Tammany Is hedging. II Is
rumored that at the meeting 1T will be
proposed that in case the national COM
mittee refuses to admit any portion of the
contesting delegates, the regular delega-
tion will stay by Mr.. Hill, but If admit
ted the delegates are to change their
allegiance to *. p. Flower, discarding
b)sh VI. Hill and Cleveland.
An Albany special to The Evening Post
says the Hoffman House meeting has
been arranged by Hill to secure a pledge,
TO stand by him, that will be so strong
that he will dare to vote for a free coinage
bill, as he is under obligations with the
southern silver men to do His plan is
said to be secure in this way an antl-silver

HOW It NOW APPEARS
Presidents sFriends Pre-
pairing for a Fight.
IT'S BLAINE VS.. HARRISON.
A Statement Showing the Strength Of
the Formidable Candidates.

MINNEAPOLIS. June 1-That the presi-
dents friends are getting ready for hard
fight against Blaine il a fact now f'rowiny
more and noie apparent every hour. The
loose talk in hotel corridors by regular
convention shoutcrs, who really know
nothing about the strength behind their
favorites is OF no account here, but what
the real leaders do in secret conclaye Is
significant.
One of tho most forcible documents is
headed, "Harrison's Popular Strength" !"
and reads rs follows: "Since these gentle
men have challenged comparison OF
President lIarrison's popular strength
with that OF Blaine, let us see what the
record shows. The number Of states and
of votes in the electoral college in 1884
was the same rs in 1883. In 1884 Mr.
Blaine carried IS states and received ls2
electoral votes, and in 1888 General Hdr-
rison carried 20 states and received 233
votes. Harrison carried every state that
Blaine did, and New York and Indiana
"In 1884 the vote In the electoral col
lege was 1S2 for Blaine against 2l0 for
Cleveland, while in 1888 IL was 233 for Har-
rison against lGS for Cleveland. In the
popular vote Harrison received $40, 7oS
votes, against 4,s5l 98l for Blaine. Blaine
lost New York by l0f7 votes in 1884 and
Harrison carried it by 13,002 in 1888
Blaine lost Indiana by Gjl2 votes in 1884
and Harrison carried it by 234S in 1883. In
nearly all the states Harrison's vote was
larger than Blaine's, even allowing for
natural increase Of population. Harrison
increased the Republican majoritles In
nearly every Republican state and reduced
the Democratic majority in many Of the
Democratic states.
"Baine carried Iowa by 1919; Harrison
by 81, Ill. Blaine carried Kansas by Gl,-
214; IIarrison by -, 100. Blaine held the
Democratic majority in Kentucky down to
"a $50; Harrison reduced il to 2S 6Gj Blaine
carried Maine by 20,OGO; Harrison by o.
253. Blaine held the Democratic majority
in Maryland down To Ills; Harrison re-
duced it To 6lS2. Blaine carried Massa-
chusetts by 2i,372; Harrison by 32,037.
Blaine carried Michigan by 1905; Harrison
by 22,9Il. Blaine held the Democratic ma
jority IN Missouri down to 81, 1859; Harris IN
reduced it to 25,7i7. Blaine carried
Nebraska by 23.5l2; Harrison By &,ss3
Blaine held the Democratic ms
jority in North Carolina down to l7,sSi;
