The CattleO.

Among the many strange sights at
the Mid-winter Fair, San Francisco,
Cal, few attracted more attention
than the cattleo. The latter are, as
the name implies, a cross between the
buffalo and domestic cattle. Many at.
tempts hitherto made in this direction
failed, but w. Weavey, of Durbin,
North Dakota, has finally succeeded
in propagating a new bovine race.
This satisfactory result he attributes
to the use of the Aberdeen Angus
breed and the having the cattleo come
in the spring with the grass.
The meat of the new breed sells
readily. 1t is described as partaking
of the natures of both parents, having
the richness of the Angus with some-
thing of the wild flavor of the buffalo.
They are much larger than the buffalo,
and show the heavy shoulders and
stout neck of the buffalo, but not to
the degree, by any means, of the lat
ter animals. Altogether they are
pretty and docile animals, with beau.
tiful seal-brown hides, which are of
uniform color, while the fur is finer
and longer than that of the buffalo, to
which they are in every way superior.
The prices of these skins range from
$l00 to $3.50 apiece, SO that if the cat
tie will thrive to anything like the
same extent as domestic cattle, it
would appear as if Mr.. Weavey were
in for good thing. -Courier-J Journal.

WOMEN MINERS IN INDIA.

The women miners of India in spite
ftheir marriages at fourteen and tif-
teen years of age, were strong and
we'll put up, and in manner perfectly
gentle and modest. Each was dressed
exactly as she would have been for
any other occupation, though her
cloth and sari were perhaps little
dirtier than they would have been in a
less grimy calling, and each wore a
mass of bangles and anklets, some of
them very interesting specimens of
barbaric silver and bellmetal work.
Save for little pause of curiosity
to look at me and my clothes, they
worked steadily on, pushing forward
the heavy trolleys, which, when laden
weighed about 800 weight. One or
two had requests to make of the fore
man as he went by, in general these
beng trifling things, such as taking
half a days leave, or some little point
about the land they held, but the gen.
eral quiet, good order, discipline and
respect were all points that impressed
me much. The few questions which /
put to them about their hours, which
are only eight day, their food and
amusements, which seemed largely to
centre in the big bazar of Sunday,
were straightforwardly and frankly
answered. London Graphic.

Chemicals and Fruit.

The extent 20 which European fruits
have come to be treate with poison
Gus chemicals to give them fresh APP
pearance is said to be appalling. A
Belgian periodical gives the following
facts about some of these chemicals
which are used: Acetate and sulphate
of copper have for long time been
employed for coloring plumbs that are
too green. The color of lemons is
improved" with citronine and nap
thol yellow, and the green spots are
initiated by means of diamond green.
A pleasing color is given to strawber-
ries by sprinkling them with sulpho-
fuchsine or rhodamine, or else a mix
ture of rhodamine, and azo.red is
used. Nothing is easier than to give
peachesa beautiful color. To this
effect there is employed mixture of
rhodamine, azo-red and citronine,
which is applied by means of a
brush and perforated plate of zinc.
The melon itself is not spared. Afro
peodine or azo-orange is introduced
into the interior by means of tube,
and care is taken to add a little essence
of melon. Apples and pears come in
their turn, and pretty varieties of
them are obtained by means of ana
line colors, which attack the flesh as
we'll as epidermis. The article goes
on TO say that at recent dinner
scientist offered his guests some pears
whose exterior seemed to be intact,
but which internally exhibited the
colors of the French flag. The blue
was obtained with Victoria blue and
the red with a mixture of rhodamine
and axo-red. New York Sun.

Cash and Credit Prices.

''There is a commercial custom in
England, as we'll as in many of the
larger cities of continental Europe,
that could be followed, I believe, with
excellent results by the merchants and
tradesmen of this country" said Ber-
nard White, one of the foreign buyers
for a big New York dry goods house,
at the Arlington. "When a person
enters a shop in London, for instance,
and selects an article he may desire,
mo matter what it is, and inquiries the
rrice, certain sum is stated. If the
buyer happens to have an account at
the establishment and instructs sales
men to charge his purchase to him he
- politely informed that the price of
the article is two or three pence high
or than the first-named cost. This
nystem is followed in all the better
mercantile establishments in the
united kingdom. The credit price is
invariably few pennies higher than
the same article would be sold for spot
cash. The reason for this is very sim
pie, and, believe, entirely proper.

A MasOn's Heart,

A strange incident In the history Of Free
masonry unprecedented In this country took
place at Mountain View Cemetery, Oakland,
CAL, few days ago. 1t was the burial with
Masonic rites, OF the heart OF Yeuicco Her.
reca Caro-, one OF the early Governors OF
Mexico, and Mason, whom the members OF
the order call u martyr to their cause. The
heart has been for year deposited In q
casket in the Masonic Temple OF Oakland. it
having been brought from Mexico to Gethse-
name Chapter No. 8 OF the Rose Croix. At
the burial place In Mountain View Cemetery
the foundation stone OF n monument was laid
by the Grand Lodge OF Masons OF the State.
The casket inclosing the heart was wrapped
In two silken flags, ono American and ths
other Mexican, and deposited un Ter the
foundation stone. Masons from all over the
coast were In attendance. Several Mexican
societies were also present.
Shortly after the declaration OF Spain's In
dependence Caro- became identified with the
Masonlc fraternity, and was made Governor
of the State OF Jalisco. Mexico. While In
his position he was informed of a plot
against the Government by the Carmslites.
He ordered the plotters thrown into prison.
and they were punished. For this action on

In the course OF time Caro- was retired from

shot to death by Mtnusl Pielsgo. Caro- said

movement in favor of equal suffrage
and recently issued circular contain
ing the following reasons why the
franchise would be disadvantage to
the sex, in New York State at least:
1. A husband cannot dispose of his
wife's dover in his lands without her
consent. A wife can sell her lands
and give absolute title thereto without
the consent of her husband, the same
as il she was single.
2. A husband can he made to pay
for necessaries supplied to his wife. A
wife is free from such liability for her
husbands needs.
3. A wife's dover -i,nt exists with
or without will, and cannot be di-
vested without her consent. A wife
can will away her lands and other
property without making provision
for her husband.
4. All women judgment debtors
have those exceptions of property
from execution limited in case of men
to such as are householders. Certain
exemptions from execution are not
available against female employees.
Married women have broader "house-
hold" exemptions than men.
8. In New York City man is liable
to arrest, and none of his property is
exempt from execution of the debt,
who fails to pay female ernploye
wages up to $50. In Brooklyn man
is liable to arrest, and none of his pro-
perty is exempt from execution, who
fails to pay female employe other
than domestic servant wages up to
$50. Women are substantially exempt
from arrest in all civil cases. To ar
rest woman there must be shown
"wilful injury to person, character or
property" or such an evasion of duty
ns would be punishable as contempt of
court.
G. The factory laws and other laws
abound in provisions for the excep-
tionnl protection Of women who are
employees.
7. Wives and husbands now have
identical rights rs to guardianship Of
children.
3. Insurance on husbands life
paid to widow is exempt from execu-
ton for her debts.
9. No execution against the person
of a woman can be issued unless an
order of arrest has been granted and
executed in the action.
