The Value of I11tteratc Autographs.
From the Boston Transcript.
1t is well-known fact that the generals
of the revolution were, many of them, ex-
ceedingly illiterate men and far from model
letter writer's. A very cursory view of their
epistolary efforts is srfflcient TO convince
one that they had as little regard for the
kings English they had for his subjects,
and that they murdered the one while tell
ing Of the killing OF the other. This how
ever detracts nothing from the value of
their autograph letters. in fact. II is pain
full to note. but none the less true, that the
autograph collector is continually paying
a premium on nlitcracy: for the letters of a
man whose feats Of bravery entitle him to a
high place among the notables of the land,
but who finds II less of a task to win a
battle than to sign his name, make the
most valuable part of a collection. they are
SO rare and 50 difficult. to obtain.

Bran for Dairy Cows.

The COW has chemical laboratory
If her own, and the results do not al
ways agree with those of the chemists
text book. 1t is easy to figure out q
complete ration, but this does not by
ANY means insure complete Mork.zaDi-
gestion and assimilation vary with food
combinations in a way difficult to for
cast and often impossible to under
stand. The inexperienced dairyman al
ways undertakes bran. It looks light
and chaffy as pulveriZed shavings, and
seems to be mere hulls with no nutri-
tive part Of the grain left. But when
we change from oats to bran we find
the COW gives more milk. This is upon
the supposition that corn is utilized, las
it should be, for a part Of the ration.
By corn, is meant the whole corn plant,
for the entire plant is better dairy food
than the ear alone. Theory is sugges-
tive and indicates the line of expert
mentation, but actual practice alone
confirms. Science helps the practitiOn-
er, saving him innumerable blunders;
but a success in practice is worth a
thousand theories evolved in a labOra-
tory. Early in winter we spoke Of the
excellent results from feeding four
pounds Of bran per day to COWS fed
literally upon corn fodder partially de-
prived Of ears. The same success is
still obtained from this feed. Chang
ing oats for bran has certainly proved
to be paying business in our dairy.

Cattle Ticks and Texas Fever.

Recent investigations seem to indi-
cate that ticks are in some way asso-
ciated With Texas fever. NJ Francis
of the Texas station reports that in the
gulf states the ticks appear in great
numbers from July to December. They
are more abundant during hot, dry
seasons, when the grass is scarce.
Shorthorn cattle are very susceptible to
their attacks. The ticks are especially
noticeable in cases where the cattle
have access to thickly wooded pastures
with much underbrush. In cultivated
fields where crops are located ticks
are almost unknown. Cooper Cutice
states that the prevention Of Southern
cattle fever by the removal of ticks
is based upon the investigation of the
United States bureau Of animal indus
try. By taking advantage Of the cli-
mate, and using remedies the cattle
and pastures may be freed from the
ticks. All cattle intended for transpor-
tation to Northern fields should be thus
freed. 81 M. Francis recommends spray,
ing the cattle with any good sheep dip,
by which gravity is used to force the
liquid through rubber pipe and per-
forated nozzle, in a manner similar to
the spraying of plants.

Boyish Cruelty.

About ten days ago some Bangor boys
became dissatisfied with the conduct
of one Of their number, and felt it
necessary to discipline him. Did they,
thrash him? No.. A patent t-medicin6
man had been through the town dis
tributing samples Of pills. Those boys
collected as many boxes of those pills
as they could find, ehoked their young
companions mouth open, emptied all
the pills into him and fed. The ac-
count says that the doctors hope to be
able to save the boys life." and it is
lives of the other boys should be saved

HAuoHTY PARLoR CAR PATRON
A Wagner Conductor Reads a Lee
~ +: sture en- Pride. s-a-s.

A Wagner Conductor Reads q Lee.
(: +: + :ture en- Pride.
s8 TT is rather tiresome,'' said Wagner
sparlor car conductor, 'the airs people
put on in a a.parlor car. The moment
they get seated they begin to behave
like kings and queens and to order
people around as if they had been used
to having servants at their beck and
call all their lives.
! IF you want to see a rapid change
from a plain American citizen to a
naughty aristocrat just watch the pas
sengers troop out of the waiting rooms
to the trains. You can tell a mile off
which of them have seats in the parlor
car: Their noses hang high in the air
and they get around with a sort of SUI
perciliouS strut.
s'The ordinary day coach passengers
as they go alongside of a Wagner car,
from the windows Of which the naughty
faces are peering, assume sort Of
hang dog look as if they belonged to
an inferior race. They sneak into their
humble coaches and make themselves
feel as small as possible.
e. Meanwhile the parlor car people,
bulging out with their importance,
have hung their silk hats up in the cars
and donned little skull caps. Then
they promenade up and down the plat
form talking in loud tone of voice to
each other in way never adopted by
the plain passengers and glaring fercely
at every one who hasn't a place in the
parlor car. When the car starts they
swing themselves aboard with an air
that makes folks who don't know them
think they own the road.
when a parlOr car passenger sees
a friend in an ordinary coach he pre-
tends not to. If the ordinary coach
man foists his presence on him he gets
himself superciliously treated. The re-
lations of those two men are never the
same again. The sense of equality has
been lost, and the parlor car man re-
CARDS the other forever afterwards as
a lower class citizen.
Its the most pronounced case Of
the caste feeling. Parlor cars divide
the people into nobility and plebeians
just as much as titles of nobility-in
the minds of the occupants of the par
lor cars

How He Scented IA Cyclone from Affair and

New York Advertiser.
Charles Stowe. of Girard, Pa, adds this
veracious narrative TO the recorded in
stances of almost human intelligence In an
imals:
1--WE read a good deal,n said Mr.. Stowe.
"about the intelligence of elephants. but
there Is a circus elephant out In Geneva,
o., that 10 the smartest and most lntelli-
gent elephant on earth.
"Once IN q while a cyclOne sweeps over
she Buckeye state and levels buildings To
1ho ground. This elephant, whose name IL
SnOozer. knows as much about metcoro-
logical conditions as the entire force of the
weather bureau combined. Not long ago.
rs SnooZer cast his weather eve ont of the
he saw n cyclone to the southeast
headed dead on the mGnagerle building.
slipping his cham and grasping an ak
IN his trunk he went out to the ID
OF the building and drove a guy stake deep
IN the ground. The cyclone WAS then but
a mile on and was rapidly nearing the
building. Rushing inside. Snoozer m
fastened the cage containing the giant
python, and Selling the big snake in his
trunk Jrotted outside and tied his tail to
the guy stake. Then rearing himself on
his hlnd legs he fastened the DIV thon's head
around the center chimney of the building.
1he cyclone was now but q quarter of q
mile away.
"Dashing around to the leeward of the
building the intelligent pacbyderm braced
his powerful legs In the ground and put his
head against the side OF the building. Tho
cyclone was now bnt one hundred yards
oil. The next instant IL struck the menag-
erie with terrific force. The superior in
t~elligence of the elephant was here most
evident. If he had taken a chain and fast
enId lt to the wind ard side of the build
ina it would have been snapped like a
thread. but the python was elastic and he
stretched inst enough To hold the building
In place. together with the elephants brace
on tie other side. The force of the cyclone
was so great that It stretched the python
ten feet and showed Snoozer's legs down
into the hard ground up TO his body.
