A prominent wool grower of this
county wrote II Boston commission
house to ascertain what advances it
would make on his wool clip and in
due time received the cheerful assur-
ance that the figures would be between
S and 10 cents. Already one of the
greatest industries in Montana has
been paralyzed by the uncertainty of
Democratic legislation on the tariff, or
rather, a certainty as regards wool.

A gentleman who attended the first
Sunday opening Of the Worlds Fair
and studied the crowd carefully says:
Everybody seemed eager to drink in
the beauty and knowledge of every
thing about him. 1t was not a talka-
tive, sauntering, sightseeing body, but
they were there for a purpose and that
purpose was to know something of the
great exhibition Of which they had
heard so much"

The sails OF Cairo.

The sails is a runner who keeps in front
of a carriage and warns common people
out of the way, and who beats them with
a stick if they do not hurry up about it.
He is a relic Of the days when the traffic IN
all of the streets was so congested that he
was an absolute necessity; now he makes
it possible for a carriage to move forward
at trot, which without his aid it could
not do. It is obvious that to do this he
must run swiftly.
Most men when they run bend their
bodies forward and keep their mouths
closed in order to save their wind. The
sails runs with his shoulders thrown back
and trumpeting like an enraged elephant
He holds his long wand at his side like a
musket and not trailing in his hand like a
walking stick, and he wears a soft shirt Of
white stuff and a sleeveless coat buried in
gold lace. His breeches are white and as
voluminous as a woman's skirts They
fall to a few inches above his knee The
rest of his brown leg is bare and rigid with
muscle. On his head he has fez with a
long black tassel, and magnificent silk
scarf Of many colors il bound tightly
around his waist
Heis a perfect ideal of color and move
ment, and as he runs he bellows like
bull or roars as you have heard lion roar
at feeding time in menagerie. It is not
human cry at all, and you never hear it,
even to the last day Of your stay in Cairo,
without a start, as though it were a cry Of
help at night or the quick changing bell
Of a fire engine There is nothing else in
Cairo which is so satisfying. -Harper's
Weekly.

"It is fortunate thing for man and the
rest of the animal kingdom" " said the nat
uralist, that no laxge wild animal has a
mouth constructed with the devouring ap-
paratus built on the plan of the insignifi-
can't looking srail's mouth, for that animal
could out devour anything that lives The
snail itself is such an entirely unpleasant,
not to say loathsome, creature to handle
that few amateur naturalists care to bother
with it, but by neglecting the snail they
miss studying one of the most interesting
objects that come under their observation.
"Any one who has noticed a snail feeding
on a leaf must have wondered how such a
SOFT flabby, Shiny animal can make such a
sharp and clean cut ineision in the leaf
leaving an edge as smooth and straight as
if it had been cut with knife That is
due to the peculiar and formidable mouth
he has. The snail eats with his tongue and
the roof Of his mouth. The tongue is
ribbon, which the snail keeps coiled in his
mouth. This tongue is in reality band
saw, with the teeth on the surface instead
of on the edge
''The teeth are so small that as many as
10000 of them have been found on one
snail's tongue. They are exceedingly sharp,
and only few of them are used at a time
NOb eAdCLlg Only u AtW oA buGAus Bub q rev
of them comparatively, for the snail will
probably have 1900 or 5000 of them in use
at once. He does this by means Of his
coiled tongue. He can uncoil as much of
this as he chooses, and the uncoiled part he
brings into service. The roof Of his mouth
is as hard as bone. He grasps the leaf be-
tween his tongue and that hard substance,
and rasping away with his tongue saws
through the toughest leaf with ease, always
leaving the edge smooth and straight. VI

This bridge, which is said to be the second
highest in the world, was completed six
months ago at a cost Of S1,200,000 It was
built by private corporation for the use Of
the Southern Pacific company. In addition
to this bridge a railroad track leading to it
was built, shortening the distance between
San Antonio and Ell Paso by II miles. Aft

completed they were visited by President
