The Dairy.

Butter statistics are surprising.
The census returned show the enOr-
nous aggregate of 600, 900 tons, or
l.2OO, 900, 900 pounds: manufactured
in the United States in 1890; and the
quantity has probably increased
since. How much Of all this was
oleomargarine, sod under the name
of butter, it is now getting a little
late in the day to inquire. But the
the returns are professedly all of gen.
uine butter. and this may be the fact.
1t is said that the 1890 product in
this country would require 1000
freight trains of 80 cars each, and
each carrying 20 tons, to transport it.
Iowa seems to be the largest butter
producer-her return, three years
ago, being hundred million pounds
400, 900, O00), worth s21, 600, 900. Lii
nos stood next, with 95. 900, 900
worth $40, 900, 900. Wisconsin's pro-
duct was 10000, 900 pounds, worth
SO. 200, 600, and Minnesota's nearly as
great-hers being worth IS, 900, 600,
while Michigan's was worth 81, 800,
900. In 1885 the assessed value OF
cows was 500, 900. OOO-or more than
the capital of all the national banks,
at that time. incredible as it may
seem, it appears that the annual
dairy butter product Of the United
States exceeds in value that OF all OF
the lumber, wheat and iron COM
bined. That. at any rate. is the
statement of a statistician who pub
fishes the results Of his figuring.
Other dairy statistics, milk. cream,
and cheese, also make big showing.

A Nice Sort of a Tramp.

There was the incest tramp along

Parke to her husband, at supper last
night. Gle wasn't Il bit like the or
binary tramps, all dirty and with a
lot of matted hair on his face, and a
red nose and bleary eyes and all that
sort of thing OF course, his clothes
weren't very good, but he was clean,
and he was so polite"
What did he want?" asked Mr..
Highland Parke, as he covered his
tea biscuit with honey.
something to eat, but he didn't
demand it as his right, as most of
those fellows do. He told me that
he had been out of work for a long
time and, on account of the strin-
gency of currency, he was unable to
get a lob He said he had consump-
ton-galloping consumption-and he
had fearful cough, and while he
was talking to me he took his hat off
and used good grammar and looked
so pitiful that | offered him meal.
He wouldn't consent to take it unless
/ would let him do something for it,

In a few minutes Mr.. Highland

in his face.

voice.

Printer Lynch.

The printers stories that were told
last week brought out a new one
about man named Lynch, which
illustrates the crankiness of the
printers nature. He had cases on
the Tribune, but he objected to work
ing Saturday night. Saturday night
is the heavy night on all morning
newspapers, and Mr.. Lynch might as
we'll have asked for marmalade with
which to paste his string" as ask to
get off that night. But he was a de-
termined man, and he had been a
printer long enough to be mean, and
there is nothing more ornery than a
mean printer, except a mean proof
reader, who does not belong to any
supernatural comparisons. So when
i Mr.. Lynch had asked to be relieved
of Saturday night duty and hac been
! refused he just lay down and refused
to set more than 5000 ems for any
man.
The foreman did not want to cut
the elevator rope on Mr.. Lynch, so
he told him he need not work on Sat-
urday night at all, and Mr.. Lynch
was glad. He went down to John
Jacky O'Brien's tunnel and over a
large glass of pilsener confided to a
number of gentlemen who had arisen
from sleep as if awakened by an
alarm clock upon his entrance that
! the man who would toll Saturday
night was little less than a serf.
| Thereafter Saturday night idleness
began to irk Mr.. Lynch, and in less
| than a month he came down one Sat
urday afternoon, took chew of to-
| bacco and started for his case.
Hold on there, Lynch. Where are
you going?" demanded the foreman.
Going to work." said Mr.. Lynch.
ooh, no; this is Saturday night"
"Mean to say | can't go to work?"
certainly"
Going to make me stand a bobtail
week."
of course"
"Then as a member of Chicago Ty-
biographical Union l6, with my dues
paid up and a working card in my
pocket, l want to say that before I'll
let any slave driver of a foreman pre-
vent me from working seven days a
week I'll resign"
And so he did, and went to work

where the type was as big as dough

ELEPHANTS AND RAILWAYS.
Natives of India Have Prejudice
Against the Iron Horse.

Natives of India Have Prejudice
Against the Iron Horse.
Not few people in India have de-
cided objections to the railways,
which in recent years have been in
troduced in that country. Among
these directors are the elephants, to
whom railway travel seems to be es-
peclally hazardous. More than one
elephant, even on the American con-
tinent, where elephants are scarce.
has been killed by collision with a
trim. TIL most famous Of all ele-
plants, the great Jumbo, met his
death in this way.
The Indian locomotives are more
in danger of grasshoppers, it appears,
than they are of elephants When a
train runs into great army Of grass
hoppers covering the track to depth
of several feet, it is sure to be
stopped, and in grave danger of being
derailed. Accidents of this nature
appear to be not infreQuent in India.
But in collision with an elephant,
it is usually the elephant which suf-
fers most. He can hardly get under
the wheels; and as the locomotive
has more power within it than the
elephant, the animal is generally the
one of the two antagonists who is
thrown off the track.
In the domains of the NiZam of
Hyderabad, an Indian potentate of
great consequence and of extensive
domains, the railway is so new a
thing that the people are not yet &C
customed to it. Not long ago the
Nizam, having occasion to make a
journey, preferred to travel by a
special train instead of on elephant
back, but he sent his elephants on
before him, over the highway.
As the mahout, or e}ephant-driver
in charge of the herd, was proceeding
on his way, he came to the 1nteTsec-
ton Of the railway with the public
road AS it made short cut, and
was level and smooth, while the road
was bad. the elephant driver thought
he would take the railway. So he
conducted his animals upon the en-
bankment. and they went numbering
on over the rails and ties.
Presently the Nizam's special train
came Whirling round the curve. The
engine driver saw the elephants, and
reversed his lever and gave the signal:
but an elephant is a slow animal to
move. BY the time the astonished
mahOut had began to deliver his or
ders to the elephants to get off the
track, the train was upon him.
The largest elephant in the COM
rany. said to lie without rival in
India, was overth:Own, crushed and
killed. His mahout was also killed.
Another elephant lost his trunk. and
another one Of his tuSks. while sever
al more were badly damaged.
The NiZam was sOrrOwful witness
of this destruction He wept with
grief, and is said to have lamented
the introduction Of railways into his
dominions The unfortunate man
who was the cause of the disaster
lost his life as the penalty Of the Of
tense of travelling on elephant-back
on a railway track.
