slowly. Two-thirds of them still remain,
although seven weeks have elapsed since
the fair closed. Nearly 5000 carloads of
goods were received on the grounds, and
the rate of removal has been about hfty

most active in packing and sending away
goods, and the French are also very busy

says they do and expresses q hope that Q
troop Of Indian cavalrymen may be sta
toned at some point in the east, In order
to give the people of the older states an
opportunity of seeing and judging for
themselves. "My three years experience
with them" he says, ''has fully convinced
me of the benefits both to the army and to
the Indian. and as my troop has acquired
q good reputation think that the people
who are Interested should know something
about 1t from one who has had experience
in the matter"
Nearly forty years ago the War depart
ment imported a number of csmsls from
Asia Minor to do the "ship of the desert"
act out in southern California and Arizona,
with military supplies for cargo. The ex
pertinent wasn't q success, and ultimately
the beasts were turned loose to shift for
themselves. Now, according to Colonel
Allen of the Yuma Sentinel, nearly . hum
dred wild camels are running at large In
the Eagle Tail mountains, east of the Yuma
and Hsrqua Hala wagon roads. "They
are very vicious" he says, land make
hard fight when caught or cornsrsd." The
governor of Arizona thinks the authorities
at Washington should ind q new home for
these beasts, In the Yellowstone Park or
elsewhere.
Things have gone so far in London as to
cause the organization of the "National So
ciety for Checking the Abuses of Public
Advertising" The Briton not only defaces
the landscape by painting rocks and barns,
but by erecting enormous screens on city
buildings and country greens. The sails
of fishing smacks and the mosquito" feet
that swarm in every hsrbor are favorite
advertising mediums. The Briton, more
over, INDUCES his fancy for sandwich men
and omnibus signs to lsughsble degree,
and almost buries his railroad stations un-
der multiplicity of patent medicines and
stove polishes. A society has been formed
also for the express purpose of preventing
him from using immoral or obnoxious
methods of advertising, and of showing
him how to do II in truthful and respect
able way. To this end It publishes sheet
called ga Beautiful world"-a species of
object lessons.
The "prairie schooner" isn't entirely
played out yet. During the past few weeks
some of the main roads and trails through
the central counties of Texas have bsen
dotted over with the big canvas-covered
wagons, strung out from three to dozen
in feet, with horses trotting beside and
bshind, and with all the interesting attend
ant features fsmilisr in the pioneer days.
The travellers are farmers bound to the
coast counties from northern Texas, the
emigration from which region is attain
ing the dimensions of an exodus. Years of
drought, short crops, and small prices are
the cause, and so anxious are the farmers
to get away that they have been almost
giving their property there away, many
leaving their lands unsofd and untensnted.

II what is said of the Russian thistle is
true 1t is 8 terrible plant. The pest was
taken to North Dakota In the seed grain of
some Muscovite immigrants, and has
spread within few years over the Ds'
kotas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota and
| northern Wisconsin. 1t is a plant OF
astonishing vigor aud fecundity, growing
up and outward rapidly ''to the size Of q
sod cabin" shading surrounding crops and
monopolizipg the moisture and nutrition
of the soil, and then scattering its seed fal
and wide on every wind. So tough and
| poisonous are its prickles that men and
animals are said to be compelled to veal
sheet-iron bootlegs in passing through the
thistle fields, and It is relsted that In 81
IBERIA the plant has completely co nquersd
large stretches of land and driven sgricul
ture away from It. Heroic measures srs
demanded to cope with this scourge, say
Senator Haasbrough.
