 The time of year when most cattle are branded is in the spring or fall, but for grown cattle the spring Is pre- ferred, because they shed most of their superfiuous hair then.

Detecting a Smuggler.

A treasury agent, speaking of the
watchfulness of Uncle Sans officials,
said: "A handsomely dressed man got
off ferryboat and seemed to be unusu-
ally nervous. A moment more and he
was struggling in the hands of the Off
GERS and desperately clutching at the
lapels of his coat. It's no use, the
officers remarked; we know what you
have and where it is. Better give it up
and save trouble Apparently crushed
by the discovery, the man quietly as
sisted in opening seams and produced
the diamonds from various portions of
his clothing. Your shoes, please' This
rather staggered him, but he submitted
with good grace, and one of the heels
being unscrewed another lot, though
smaller and less valuable than the first,
was found there. The diamonds were
examined and pronounced to be a splen-
did article of paste, worth about 25
cents each. This did not satisfy US, and
the man was stripped to the skin. A
huge piece Of sticking plaster was on
his back, which was removed, and un-
der it were Concealed scores of genuine
diamonds. 1t is not often that ruse
is so adroitly planned and practiced. "

English Criminals.

Doubtless, to judge from your aver
age daily journal, murders and sui
cides, crimes and catastrophes, wars
and feuds and frauds, would seem to re-
main the staple of the human record.
But be it remembered that, for obvious
reasons, all our worst and darkest is col
lected there. One might as well judge
Of public health by the painful cases
described in a medical publication as
of the vast mass of solid human happi-
ness and innocent living joy by the dai-
ly catalogue of these really trivial ex-
ceptions 10 it. AS for sins-the most Sc
rious of which are only such as are
malicious-though the population in
crease, they seem steadily to diminish.
We had S7,66S "habituals" in 1868 /;
now the evil roll is only so, 153.
When the population of England was
10, 257, 900 in 1869, there were 2,5S9
persons undergoing penal servitude;
now, with population Of q, $50, 179,
the number is only 947. In 1878 the en-
tire number of prisoners in our Jalls
was 90, S33; the entire number at the
same date last year was II, 663, though
the population had increased by 6,000,-
900. Pauperism is also declining. In
1870, 1.079, ,391 persons We're in receipt
Of relief; in 1891, with an addition of
more than 1000, 600 inhabitants, there
were only ia, 905. The upshot of these
figures - without pressing them too
much-seems surely to be that the cos
mic process" in our own little corner of
the universe is not doing SO badly.-Sir
Edwin Arnold in Longman's Magazine.

GENIUS Is INDIFFERENT.
Surroundings Have Nausht to Do With the
Thread of Thought.

1t might be conjectured perhaps that
Scott's and ByUon's genius was favored
by the circumstances of their birth,
that the wild scenes in which Scott
infancy was passed, and the local leg
ends with which his head was filed de
termined him TO ballad writing. and
that the ballad writing led naturally in
its turn 10 romance, and that the high
station and undisciplined liberty of
Byron's childhood fostered that passion
ate self will and broOding imagination
which showed themselves in his fierce,
scornful and moody verse. This, We
say, might perhaps Se conjectured with
some probability. and the like might be
said of Wordsworth S infancy.
But how shall we maintain that the
conditions of Keats cockney birth in a
livery stable or his education in a dis
secting room favored the growth of that
most delicate and rich type or almost
Hellenic clearness and beauty of imag-
ination? And how shall we maintain
that Dickens menial task in the cork
| ing of blacking bottles foStered the
| growth of that wonderful humor and
| that microscopic accuracy of vision
| which filled the world with laughter
and with inimitable caricature such as
no comedy, not even Moliere's, had an
| ticipated?
Again, who would have ventured to
predict that wild, despotic Irish evan
| gelical spirit like Patrick Bronte, ban
| ished TO the bleakest of Yorkshire moors,
would have been the father of children
so eager, original and vivid in their rev.
cries as those who eventually produced
the unique passion of Ellis and Currer
Bells genius? SO far as we know any
thing of the origin of genius, that ori-
gin is usually surprise.
1t is the rare exception, and not the
rule, when we find Chatham succeeding
in producing such hothOuse flower as
William Pitt, or James Mill succeeding
in celebrating specimen more perfect
than himself of a thinker of his own
| type, in the studious, diligent, diffuse.
lucid and rather dreary logician and
economist who left his mark on the
English philosophy of the third quarter
of this century. Nor do we ever find in
rare instances of this sort the higher
kinds of original genius. Pitt and John
Stuart Mill were considerable triumphs
of training for purpose, but that pur-
pose was very limited che and had
none of the largeness and freshness OF
vitality which attaches to original gen.

Women Clerks In Washington.

There have been great changes in the
government departments in the last 30
years. The first woman regularly en-
ployed was put on the rolls of the navy
department 80 years ago. She was a
young widow, and the officials consid-
cred it an awful problem how to dis
pose of her. Finally they hit upon a
plan. They treated her as if she was a
contagious disease and isolated her in
an attic room. She received and re-
turned her copying by messenger.
But the disease caught on, SO to speak,
and today there are 1, 900 women in the
treasury alone. There is one woman to
tvery seven men.

THE SECRETARY BIRD.
Ths Gool Manner In Which 1t Kills q Snake,
Its Natural Prey.


AS soon as the secretary bird, or
snake eater, of South Africa discovers
a make, it advances toward it without
hurry and without hesitation, and when
within striking distance it Immediately
elevates its crest and the feathers of the
neck, and without losing any time de-
livers blow with its foot. If the snake
has avoided the blow and attempts TO
strike back, the bird interposes a wing,
thus receiving the deadly fangs harm
lessly upon the long feathers and i'm
mediately strikes again.
The fight is then virtually over, for
if the secretary gets in a single blow
the snakes back is broken, and the bird,
lightninglike, plants its foot firmly on
the reptiles neck and head, pressing
them into the ground, while it delivers
the coup de grace with its beak, and
then deliberately swallows the snake
whole, beginning at the tail, and just
before the head disappears, giving it an
enthusiastic parting rap on the ground.
But there is nothing refined about the
secretary birds appetite, for one writer
says he found inside one three serpents
'as long as his arm" II lizards Z
inches long, 21 tortoises about inches
in diameter, besides large quantity
of grasshoppers and other insects, or
in other words, ~ feet of snake, 6 y
of lizard, 81 of tortoise and say yard
of miscellaneous trifies!
The secretary bird is protected by the
cape authorities for the immense public
benefit it confers in eating poisonous
snakes, and a penalty is attached by
law to its destruction. And if it were
necessary hundreds of eyewitnesses
could be called to prove its right to the
title of serpentarius. Curiously enough.
too, this bird may be trained, and is
trained, to protect poultry yards, not
only from snakes, which are too fond of
eggs, but from other birds of prey.-St.
James Budget.

POLITICS IN 1T.

The CIOven HOof Sticking Out in the
Railway Assessmeni:
The state board OF railroad assessors re-
assembled again today.
As the matter has been arranged the
PopuIist state convention will have met
and adjourned and the election returns
have been counted before the public will
know what action has been taken by the
board.
The board first met on the third Mon
day in April as required by law but ad-
journed to May % on the pretended
ground that the returns had not been re-
ceived from all the roads and that it was
essential that statistics from the county
clerks should be collected. As a matter
of fact, all the roads had reported except
two, a short line eight miles long and a
coal switch at Leavenworth.
The board has set the dates on which
the tax commissioners of the various
roads will be heard as follows: May %,
Santa Fe; May "a, Missouri Pacific and
Rock Island; May %, NJ. K. & t. and
Union Pacific; May rs, FIT Scott and
Gulf and others.
The hearing will consume the present
week and then the board will decide
upon the valuation of all the railroad
property in the state. This will probably
req ouire little less than month. The re-
ports will then be given to the clerks to
work out the valuations and apportion
the amounts among the counties, town
| shin and school districts in the state
| which receive share of the railroad
taxes. This will require two months or
more and the matter will probably be
dragged along until the result OF the
! state election is known.
The actions of the board indicate that
| the public shall not know until after
| election what disposition has been made
| of the assessment and that the board in
| tend to reduce the assessment, but are
/ afraid to take action until after the cleo
| ton, for fear it will anger the anti-rail-
! road element among the POpulists, and
defeat the state ticket
In response to inquiries about the time
| which would probably be required by
the board to make the assessment, Audi
| tor Prather and State Treasurer Biddle,
| both responded: 81 don't know"

MR.. STRONG'S MONEY.
Over 100000 of 1t I'm the Topeka
Wa.erwOrks Wants 1t Out.

Over 100000 of 1t In the Topeka
NvaserwOrks Wants 1t Out
Ex-President VIM. b. Strong of the
Santa Fe, who now lives in Wisconsin,
on January 2, 1882, loaned the Topeka
Water Supply company 1920, 900, and as
security for the loan a first mortgage on
the property of the company was exc
cuted to him.
In the United States circuit court last
evening a suit was filed for the purpose
of foreclosing this mortgage. The suit
which is a big surprise to the present
owners of the water works was filed by
the law firm of Peck, Miller & Starr of
Chicago.
The water works were sold few years
ago to new company. which has been
known as the Topeka Water company,
but this company is now in the hands of
the United States court and Elias Sum-
mertield is in charge of the plant as re-
ceiver for the court.
The suit is surprise, as it has not
been generally known that there were
any membranes dating back as far as
1882. and if this mortgage is held to be
good it will have to be satisfied before
the later r>creditors can be reached.
An application was also made for an
additional receiver on behalf of Strong,
but none will be appointed at present.
The suit will come up at the session of
the United States circuit court at Leav-
enwOrth, June f.
In connection with this item, it
may be said, the law firm of
Peck, Miller & Starr, of which
George r. Peck is the head, was organ
lied about eight months ago in Chicago
and has its offices in the same building
in which Mr.. Peck's railroad offices are
located.
Messrs. Miller and Starr are both well
known Illinois lawyers and Mr.. Merritt
Starr is the man who a few years ago an
notated the Illinois statutes.
Mr.. Starr was in Topeka few hours
one day last week.
