GOV. n. 3. CLEAVES.

Henry B. Cleaves, who has just been
reelected governor of Maine by an
overwhelming majority, was born in
BridgtOn, Cumberland county, Me-, in
1910; enlisted in the union army as a
private in 1862, and served in the Army
of the Gulf; was with Sheridan in the
Shenandoah valley and in the Army of
the Potomac, continuing in the service
until the close of the war. Upon his
return to civil life he selected the law
as his profession, and was admitted to
the bar in 1868. Mr.. Cleaves served as
city solicitor of Portland, Me-, for two
years; represented the city two years
in the legislature and served as attor
ney general of the state from 1880 to
1885. He tried some eighteen murder
cases during his term of Office and
prosecuted the celebrated state tax
cases against the railroads to a sue

reclamation for the office of governor
and triumphantly elected in Septem-

How Mahogany Is Obtained.

Mahogany, which is chiefly found in
Nicaragua, is a very valuable wood, but
it takes much time and is expensive to
import In order to do so a concession
must first be granted by the Nicara-
guam government; then it is necessary
to find native labOrcrs to cut the wood,
for no one else can live in the malarial
swamps, infested by poisonous snakes
aud other reptiles, where the trees
grow. The natives are hard to man
age, as they easily take Offense at fam
cied Sights and then refuse to work at
all. There are 400 or 500 logs to an
acre and each log brings S75. However,
they have to be laboriously hauled out
of the dense woods one at time, and
the working season only lasts for six
months of the year. Most of the logs
are sent to France, as the United States
is a poor market for the wood.

lieve he would make strong fight for
the latter. Mr.. Morton was born at
Shoreham, VT, May Is, 1924. He is a
direct descendant of George Morton,
one of the Puritan fathers, from whom
he has inherited his shrewd business
ability. After an ordinary school edu-
cation he became a clerk in store in
Hanover and soon rose to the top. In
1S49 he embarked in a larger business
in Boston and removed to New York in
1854, where he established the big dry
goods house of Morton & Grinnell.
Later be established the banking house
of Morton e. Rose. with a branch office
in London. In 1873 Mr.. Morton went
into politics and was elected to con-
gress and was reelected in $780, Gar
field made him minister to France,
where he served his country we'll. In
1887 he ran for the senate, but was de-
feated. In 1888 he was elected vice
president with Gen. Harrison. Mr..
Morton has just returned from Europe
much relieved from severe case of
govt, with which he is a sufferer some
times. Although seventy years old his
head is clear and his wit as bright as
ever. The republicans of New York
are quite fond of him. Personally he
is a quiet, affable gentleman.

A LION ON THE LOCOMOTIVE,
He Was Only a Mountain Lion, But Mo-
body Disturbed Him.


Last winter when the snowstorms
were so fearful throughout the noun
tains in Utah and the earth was COW
cred with snow to the depth of five to
ten feet and remained hidden so long
the wild animals were forced to desper-
alton. The wolves, says the Detroit
Free Press, were starved and weak,
and what is known as the mountain
lion almost persisted from starvation.
Its great strength failed it and a man
with knife could soon take the life
of an animal that short time before
could hold a powerful OK or horse and
make meal of his flesh.
The hungry animals after awhile dis
covered that food was to be had along
the railroad track, where passengers
threw bones and scraps of victuals
from passing trains Often two starv
ing coyotes would engage in deadly
combat over a chicken bone that had a
short time before been ridden of its
last vestige of nourishment by some
economical person who did not care to
pay seventy-five cents for meal. This
was the condition of things.
Engineer Cast had charge of engine
No. 151, which was known as 1.-The
helper" from the fact that it helped
trains up the mountain and when at
the summit cut off and dropped back
down to the bottom ready to help an
other. One night when business on
the road was slack Cast noticed some
thing wrong with the gearing under
the tender and remarked to the fire.
man that they would get off and repair
1t. When half way down the noun
tain side he brought the engine to a
standstill, and the two men went to
work at what proved to be a twenty
minutes job packing hot box on the
tender. The tallow pot was left at the
boilers head.
After completing the repairs the men
were mounting the engine again, only
| to see huge mountain lion devouring
the tallow and holding full possession
| of the engine cab. 1t was cold night
and the snow drifting. The men had
| already remained outside until they
were very cold, and the chances of dis
| possessing Mr.. Lion were very meager,
as he snapped his teeth and flashed his
| ewes and fast stored the tallow out of
sight. The only consolation the men
had was that the tallow would not
last long at that rate, and even this
thought was not entirely satisfying, as
they had no way of determining that
one of them would not go the same
way at the conclusion of the tallow
feast. Finally, after fifteen minutes
further delay, the tallow pot was
empty, and giving a growl, as much as
to say: Il am very thankful, gentle
men, and you ought to be-" the animal
leaped from the cab and disappeared

GOOD DAY FOR BULLS
Anticipated Decrease in Visible
Supply Sent Wheat Up.
Receipts at Chicago and the Northwest
Lighter. Influencing Other Grain
Provisions Weaker.

CHICAGO, Jan. 6~.-Smaller primary mar
ket receipts, larger seaboard clearances and
the expectation OF a decrease in the visible
supply report for Monday sent wheat up
to-day, and after one break of sc, May
closed &C higher than yesterday. Corn
closed &c higher, oats sc higher and pro-
visions slightly lower.
Wheat opened higher, with May &c up,
at 66%c. Beerbohm quoted French country
markets firmer. and a cold wave was re-
ported as preparing itself to come upon
the exposed winter wheat-fields. These in
fluences accounted for the firm opening OF
the market. The weeks clearances were
very satisfactory to the bulls, and started
a further advance. Both coasts exported
1896, 900 bushels of wheat, compared with
1880 300 bushels in the previous week and
zoos, 900 bushels in the corresponding week
last year. TIL receipts were light and
added further strength to the market Chi
cago received but fifty-four cars. compared
with 26 q year ago. Minneapolis and Du-
luth reported a total of S2 cars, compared
with 46 on the corresponding day last year.
Baltimore reported that 100000 bushels of
wheat would be shipped from there before
the middle of the month, and the market
held firm at the advance until the New York

They were dis~appointingly small, and
started prices down. A cablegram from
Paris stated that the cold weather in France
had done little damage, and this further
forced down prices until May lost &c of its
advance. Then the bulls swung into line
again and a reaction set in. A marked de-
crease on Mondays visible supply report
was generally expected. The bulls expressed
the opinion that the decrease would reach
100000 bushels, and on this the market
held firm at the close, yielding but a frac-

Corn was generally firm with the f1uctu-

Winter Shooting of Horses.

Shoes at this season are required to dis
charge a double duty-to afford foothold as
well as TO guard against undue wear. Mr..
William Dickson, in the United States gov
eminent report on the horse, says on this
subject: Various patterns of shoes have
from time to time been invented to meet
this dual requirement, but the commonest
of all. fashioned with ice and heel calks
or calkins, Is, faulty though 1t be, proba-
bly,, all things considered, the one which
best. suits the requirements of the case.
II should. however, never be lost sight of
that the shorter, the smaller. the sharper
the calkins are, so long as they anewer the
purpose which called them into existence,
so much the better for the foot that wears
them.
High calkins. while they convey no firm
er foothold. are potent means of infiicting
injury on the foot itself and the superin-
cumbent limb at large. 1t Is only from
that portion of the catch which enters the
ground surface that the horse derives any
benefit in the shape OF foothold, and ii
must be apparent TO the meanest capacity
that long calkins, which do not penetrate
the hard. uneven ground, are so many lev
ers put into the animals possession to en-
able if not compel him to wiring his feet.
rack his limbs and inflict untold fortunes
on himself.
/ have laid particular stress on this sub
ject. as ] am OF the opinion that the pres
ence of the navicular disease, a dire mall
ady from which horses used for agricultur-
al labor should enjoy a practical immunity,
is traceable largely to the habitual use
during our long winter months of needless
ly large calkins, only fractional parts of
which find Judgment in the earth or ice
during progression.
] will explain what / mean. When a
horse is shod with the exaggerated calkins
TO which 1 have alluded. the toe and heel
calks are, or ought to be, the same height,
to start with, at all events. Very often,
however, they are not, and even when they
are the toe calk wears down on animals
used for draught purposes far more rap
idly than it's fellows on the heel. The re-
suit is that the toe is depressed while the
heel is unnaturally raised.
The relative position of the bony struc-
- s.I4 To foot ia nlNA-11 cd shn
navicular bone, which is not one of the
weight-bearing bones, is brought within the
angle of incidence of both weight and con-
cussion, influences which 1t was never con-
templated il should withstand, and which
its structure precludes its sustaining with
out injury. The bone becomes bruised and
then diseased, the tendon to which Il was
intended it should act as a pulley. which
passes over and IS in constant contact with
II, before long also becomes implicated,
and what is technically known as navicular
arthritis is thus engendered and developed.
