Why Red Angers a sull.

The reason why anything of red
color excites and infuriates animals of
the OK family is because red is the
complimentary color of green, and the
eyes of cattle being long fixed on the
green herbage while feeding, when
they espy anything red it impresses
their sight with a greatly increased
intensity. No doubt the same effect
is produced upon all grazing animals
by being suddenly confronted with the
color red, bat oxen ana bulls, being
more pugnacious, show greater ex-
element, and will even attack that
which surprises them.

Springs .Breakn In Februarr.

February fill-dil1e," is SO called,
because, irrespective of rainfall, the
springs break in that month. 1t is
a curious provision of nature that the
water supply should remain pent up
in the hills until wanted. In Dorset
shire the country folk say the springs
burst after high winds. Last year
there was little wind before they
broke, but IN due time they irrigated
the meadows, as they do yearly, gem
orally about the middle of February,
thus justifying the old title.

John Capura of Oroville, Cal. It is of
the ox-heart variety, and is q wonder
in several ways. 1t is eighteen years
old and is six feet in circumference at
the ground, and over sixty feet higL.

can put down as one exceptionally
favorable to the cherry it bore $500
pounds of fruit.

The Baker Abroad.

The French baker is not only re-
quired to conform to laws regarding
weight, but he is also told at what
price he must sell his bread. He is
further required to deposit a certain
sum of money in the hands of the
municipal authorities as a surety of
good behavior. In the large fortified
cities he has to keep a specified guam
tity of flcar on hand to provide for
warlike emergencies. In Germany
laws of similar import are in exist
enee, ard are enforced with such
severity that no baker ever dreams Of
defying them.

both thought was sure to be decisive
engagement as far as New Orleans was
concerned, little dreaming that neither
had any further cause to fight.
The British forces numbered $4,000
men. There were but 5000 Americans,
and hardly half of them fired shot
during the short, hot fight that began
with daybreak on that January morning
10 years ago. When the contest was
over, the loss in killed to the English
footed up 700, in wounded twice as
many and in prisoners 800. The Ameri-
cans lost but killed and 13 wounded,
and but 25 minutes elapsed between the
firing of the first and last shots.
1t was not until Jan. 81 that Jackson
with his army re-entered New Orleans.
The conquering hosts were met In the
suburbs by an enthusiastic throng, in
cluding almost the entire population of
the city, of all ages and both sexes, and
were greeted with the most extravagant
expressions of gratitude and delight.
Jan. % was set apart by the municipal
authorities as day of Thanksgiving.
To the preparations for the observance
of that day the utmost energies Of all
were bent. Booming Of cannon ushered
in the dawn of typically bright sub
tropical winter morning. During the
previous day and night men and women
had been busily engaged in decorating
with evergreens the old Spanish cathe-
dral in which the religious ceremonies
were to be held. In front of the cathe-
dral in the center of the public square,
where the equestrian statue of jackson
now stands, a temporary arch of triumph
had been erected. 1t was supported by
six Corinthian columns and festooned
with flowers and evergreens.
Beneath the arch stood two beautiful
little girls holding in their hands civic
crown of laurel. Near them were two
young women personating Liberty and
Justice. Ranged in two rows, extending
from the arch to the cathedral, were
young girls, the very flower of the creole
beauty of that city. full of female lowell
ness, robed in white, yelled in blue gauze
and each bearing on her brow silver
star. These personated the states and
territories of the Union that the hero of
theday had done SO much to preserve from
the vandal hand Of the British invader.
Each of these girls carried basket Of
flowers and a flag bearing the name Of
the state or territory she represented.
Behind each lance upholding shield,

Placed THE CROWS ON MS HEAD.

PLACED THE CROWN ON HIS HEAD.
ON which was inscribed the arms of the
state or territory represented, was stuck
in the ground. These lances were joined
by evergreen festoons.
When all was ready, General Jackson,
accompanied by his staff, passed through
the gate of the gran square, and, while
cannon roared and the populace cheered
and shouted, passed between the lines of
Planche's New Orleans creole battalion
to the raised floor of the arch. AS he
advanced he bowed with stately mo-
ton, and the little girls placed the civic
crown upon his head. Then the most
beautiful of all the creole maidens of
New Orleans, Miss Kerr, who had been
chosen to personify Louisiana, spoke for
her native state and city words of thanks
and congratulation to the victor of New
Orleans When he had replied in few
short phrases, he passed on between the
rows of young women, who strewed the
ground before him with flowers as he
walked.
The Able du Bourg met the hero and
his staff at the cathedral door. This
high priest was attired in all the splen-
dor and majesty of his pontifical robes
and supported by college of clergymen
in priestly garments, and the multitude
was hushed while the simple words of
the girl were amplified into a more
sonorous address of gratitude by the
lips of the cleric. Then the chief was
escorted to conspicuous seat near the
altar Of the cathedral, and the choir and
congregation chanted the 'Te Deum
Laudamus." This closed the formal serv-
ice, but it was long because Of the pre7s Of
people, who yearned to see their savior"

Der of the New York law firm of Bangs,
Stetson, Tracy & MacVeagh. Mr.. Mac
Veagh acted principally as advisory
counsel to this firm, as the bulk of his
own practice is in Philadelphia.
He was born at Phenixville, Chester
county, Pa, April 10, 1888, and received
his preliminary education at a school in
Pottstown. He graduated from Yale in
the famous class of 1858, standing tenth
in membership of 1903, and then studied
law and was admitted to practice at
West Chester in 1856. Soon afterward
he was elected district attorney of Ches-
ter county, in which capacity he served
for three years.
Mr.. MacVeagh became prominent in
Pennsylvania politics in 1868, when he
was chairman of the Republican state
central committee President Grant ap-
pointed him minister to Turkey in 1871,
and he held the post till the close of 1879,
when he resigned and resumed his law
practice at Harrisburg, where he re-
mained until 1879, when he removed to
Philadelphia.
He was member of the Pennsylvania
constitutional convention of 1878, and
was appointed by President Hayes in
1877 member of the famous committee
of visiting statesmen" who were sent
south to adjust things in Louisiana.
President Garfield appointed him attor-
ney general in 1881, and he remained a
member of President Arthur's cabinet
until the middle of December of that
year.
