San Antonio River Land

A great many people are looking and
wanting to buy Sad Antonio river lands.
Their Investigations generally are met
with the fact that such lands close to the
city, cannot be bought, and when they do
find a piece for sale, 500 to $50 is what
it takes to buy it. Now l am going to
break the band by offering you 255 acres,
ali fenced, of beautiful land on the river,
near Mission de San Jose, for the sum Of
S25. 90 per acre, terms reasonable. This
is bed rock and way down.

San Antonians Escaped.

Manager Walker, of the Grand
Opera house, San Antonio, was in
the saloon of the st. Charles hotel,
New Orleans, when the alarm of
fire sounded. He secured his eff
fects before the building was des-
troyed. A drummer named B.
Smith, registering from San An

lost all his baggage.

celebrated after ten years OF mar
riage, of crystal weddings after ff-
teen years, of china weddings after
twenty, Of silver after twenty-five,
of gold after fifty, and Of diamond
after seventy-fve-or, as Europeans
celebrate it, after sxty-two and a

tions does not seem to extend any
further, and one wonders what pre-
cious thing would be selected to give
Its name to a wedding anniversary
recently celebrated in Hungary-the
one hundredth anniversary Of the
marriage of Jean Szathmary and his
wife.
This appears to be circumstance
which is entirely impossible. But the

officially recorded as having taken
place in May, 1893, at which time,
according to the record, they were of
marriaocable age. AS in Hungary at

The best single grain for horses is
oats, next barley, and, lastly, corn.
With good, sound, heavy oats, weigh
ing thirtyfive to forty pounds to the
bushel, horses require no other grain
or food, except hay, or oat straw, or
hay made from green oats, with peas
or tares grown with them. An occa-
sional bran mash is good for horses
under all circumstances it may be
given once week. 1t loosens the
skin and makes the coat shine, if it is
accompanied by good daily brushing.

POULTRY PICKINGS.

A young hen lays larger litter than
the old hen. 1t is probable that the
first and second years of hens life
are the most productive Of eggs. How
improbable then to kill off the young
fowls and leave the aged ones.
Do not give all the fruit and vege-
table parings to the pigs let the poul-
try have share.
Is tne house overcrowded? Thin
out the poorer specimens and give the
others more loom. The flock will pay
better.
Wood ashes, besides setting free the
ammonia of the droppings, bleaches
the sLanks of the fowls and should not
be emptied in the poultry house.
A steel trap properly set will catch
the 'possum that kills the chickens.
Set it inside of the house in front of
the opening where the varmint enters,
protecting it from the fowls by boards
or wire screen.
If there are no outer sheds with a
sunny exposure for the flock to frequent
they had better be confined to the
house. Wading in slush and standing
in winter wind do not promote health
nor induce laying.
Cooked food fed warm is very much
more economical and profitable than
raw food. The grains may be cooked
in quantity and fed cold, as they will
keep for weeks in cold weather. Lay
ing hens ought to enjoy steaming
mash containing some meat scraps
every morning. Thin, watery food
can't be expected to supply material
for eggs. Milk is excellent, and here
is another place where winter dairy
ing pays. New York Observer.

| A Mechanical Tail Has Been Devised
which Greatly Facilitates the Business
I had a chat the other morning
with Mr.. Arnold and the brothers
Donaldson, the monkey performers
and contortionists, says a writer I'D
Pearson's Weekly
1t has long been the ambition OF
| acrobats to invent a useful mechahl-
cal tail, without which no man can
properly initiate monkey Az
| length the tail has been devised.
Arnold and the Donaldsons are the
only people in the secret, and they
now hang and swing by their tails,
TO the disgust of rival man mon
keys.
So like the original are their antics
and their whole get up that from a
distance it is impossible to tell, as
they swing from bars and ropes IN
side cage, that they are not apes.
The masks they use alone cost $40
apiece, and are so naturally made
that they have even deluded the real
animal. Let one of my informants
speak for the trio:
Before we could attempt to imi-
tate monkey in public we went
through a course Of the closest study
in various geological gardens. 1t
was months before we were pro-
ncient, but then we did not consider
ourselves so until, having donned
our monkeys dress, l approached a
cage of real apes, one Of whom actu-
ally came to the bars and scratched
my head.
AN acrobat and contortionist has
TO crowd all his work into a short
space of time. for after he has reached
81 years of age his work begins to
deteriorate. We experience no ditli-
Guilty whatever about blood rushing
to the head. When we begin to
train we could only hang our heads
down for half a minute, and even
then we were nearly suffocated. Now
we can hang for ten minutes and feel
no i'll effects.
"The great thing is to get the
cords Of the legs to stretch, which
they &c gradually, and to loosen the
hips. Sc long as the cords of the
leg will give, almost anything can
be done with them. For instance,
we find it quite easy to cross the
light leg over the left, bring the lat
ter over the right shoulder and
finally crowd the toes under the
arms-a feat that looks exceedingly
difficult.
"A great deal depends upon the
backbone. BY constant practice it
can be made to bend like awhalebOne
to the shape Of the letter G, either
backward or forward. One of our
troop can spin on his head, but that
trick came to him naturally and it is
impossible to teach it. The chief

Side by Side.

Tangier, a muchvisited town in
Morocco, opposite Gibraltar, contains
two prisons. They stand side by side,
but one is for the use of town crimi-
nails, the other being reserved for the
rogues of the country. 1t is very odd
that the latter has three times as
many inmates as the former, in spite
of the fact that brigands of the hills
take the place of the thieves of the
town. In England there Is far more
crime in towns than in the country,
and this only shows that though it is
50 near to Europe, Morocco as a whole
is not very civilized. When prison
ers are unruly in TangIers they are
always reduced to order and obedi-
ence by starvation. No food what
ever is allowed them. Some men in
their stubbornness will hold out for
days, and Il few have even starved to
death. Such plan for treating OBJ
stnatc prisoners would not be per-
mitted in more enlightened countries.

A FARMERS BOOKKEEPING.

have read with much interest and
have preserved for future study the ar
ticles which have appeared in your
paper on farm bookkeeping, says a
writer in the Cultivator and Country
Gentleman. l think, however, these
articles make the subject appear very
complex to most farmers and would
discourage great many from keeping
accounts at all. The fact seems to be
lost sight of that bookkeeping is bust
ness as well as farming, and that il
takes great deal of study and prac'
tice to be proficient in either. But
this should not discourage a farmer
from keeping books-at least, from
keeping books as lido. never studied
bookkeeping, and yet keep accounts,
and we'll enough, l think, for most
practical purposes.

THE FLOWER GARDEN.

Make your flower garden near the
house, where you can spend few
moments every day. A border less
than three feet wide is most con-
venient in working and wedding, and
can be made any shape desired.
Let the beds be well drained. On
some soils, simply raising the earth
few inches above the grass plat is suffi-
cient Heavy soils often require
undertaking.
The ideal soil for flower culture is a
sandy, clay loan, and whatever foun-
dation you have, try to work up to
that standard. The sand gives warmth
and mellowness, the clay gives strength
and holds moisture, while the loan or
vegetable mold is immediate plant
food. As fertilizer, 1 prefer sweep
ings from the chicken houses, on
account of freedom from weed seeds /;
lso a weekly application of liquid
manure.
One must be governed by locality in
he selection of variety of flowers.
Have a good proportion of perennials
IS standbys when the ANIMALS are com
ng on. And don't forget the bulbs,

SOW Few seeds of nemophila and
portulaca, to give profusion of low
bloom during the summer. For plants,

The seeds for early ANIMALS may be
sown in boxes during March or April
and kept in sunny window in the
house. On the Pacific coast they may
be planted in the fall in your garden
making harder plants than wher
started in the house.
