Australian Beef In England.

The English trade in frozen beef from
Australia, like that in frozen mutton,
has increased enormously during the
past year-the export, $4,000 hundred
weight. being almost double that Of
1891. The Australian frozen beef has to
meet the competition of the chilled beef
from the United States. Although freez.
ing is not supposed to injure to any Sc
rious extent the finer grained mutton,
yet it is admitted that the complete
freezing which is necessary to enable
beef to cross the equator in safety is Diet.

Other cities besides St. Paul will

The great summer carnival that is
to be held in Minneapolis early in
July promises to be very interesting
entertainment, and as it has the
support and endorsement of the lead
ing citizens of that city it is sure to
be a success. A couple Of years ago
some irresponsible parties advertised
a great band and 6remen's tournament
in that city, but it developed into the
worst kind of a. fake, and when the
summer carnival was first mentioned
It was feared by many that similar
result might BE- expected. This time,
however, the very best men in the city
are back of the move, and the public
may be assured that every representa-
ton will be faithfully carried out.
The athletic events will be par
ticipated in by the champions in tn e
various lines, and the great Cornell
Pennsylvania college regatta will take
place on Lake Minnetonka.

A Giant Spear.

M. de Sarzac, who has been carrying
on excavations in Chaldea with the
permission of the Turkish government,
recently made an interesting discovery
| in an ancient Assyrian royal palace. It
was the colossal head of an immense
J lance, made of copper or bronze, four
tccn cen timctcrs wide and eighty long,
with six holes to attach it to its ham
die. At the point of the spear-head is
engraved lion with its claws in the
position of attack. Below it is an in
scription which, however, gives no
clew to the former owner of the
weapon. Learned psychologists who
have examined the lance-head are of
the opinion that it was once carried by
Isdubar, the Chaldean Hercules.

Not all the people who haunt the
capitol are ofice-seckers, but goodly
proportion of them are, says the WASH
ington Star. They come from all Sec
tons of the country and represent all
classes of society. Of all the great
concourse that streams through the
corridors of the vast building day after
day the ofice-seekers are the most for
lorn looking. They importune their
senators and representatives over and
again and refuse to be turned from
the phantom they are pursuing. Before
congress meets every day the general
reception-room to the south end of the
senate chamber is full to crowding
with those waiting to send in their
cards to senators. A majority of these
are after Office, either for themselves
or for relatives or friends. By the time
the invocation of the chaplain is fin
ished the bits of cardboard begin to
fall in showers upon the desks of the
statesmen. These gentlemen do not
have time to go through their mail be-
lore they are interrupted by callers.
The visitors hand their cards to one or
the other of the numerous doorleepers
and assistants and retire to the great
leather-covcred chairs and sofas scat
tered around the reception-room to
await the result. 1t is a noticeable
fact that women largely predominant

BLACKlEG AMONG STOCK.
YOUNG CALVES STRICKEN BY
THE DISEASE.
Farmers Southwest of the City suffering
the Loss of Fine stock-Farmer
Whecler's Luck.

Farmers residing southwest of the
city are suffering the loss Of stock, es-
pecially calves. During :he past ten
days no less than n score of young cat
tie have died from disease which is
supposed TO be blackleg. Only fat
sucking calves are affected and when
attacked they die suddenly. An ex-
animation of the animals shows that
their lungs, liver and melt are ve.y
much enlarged and that the melt is as
black as tar. The throat is swollen
and filled with CONCEALED blood, and
the intestines are inflamed and bloody.
From the time the diseased condition
is noticed till death is short, seldom
exceeding eighteen or twenty hours.
That the disease is traceable TO too
much fat is shown by tha fact that in
bunch owned by one farmer, a Mr.
Wheeler, thirteen have died, the
deaths being confined to those suck
ing at the time. Twelve calves in the
bunch that were weaned lase month
have escaped un alarmed, and the whole
brnch is now doing we'll since Wheeler
has taken them from the cows and
bled some of the sick ones. This in
dicates that calves weaned early are
not affected by the disease.

Paying the Fiddler.

1t is an old saying that "those who
dance must pay the fiddler" This
was never more clearly demonstrated
than in the district court yesterday.
Albert Ploeger once employed another
