Why Bulls Hate a Red Flag.

In the first place, says an English writ CT, red is color to which cattle are um- accustomed, so that they may naturally be supposed to be startled by its very novelty. Scientists show the sensation of red to be tho complement of that of green, being induced by exactly opposite affections of the retina.
 If the eyes of cattle arc constructed on similar principle 10 our own, the continual contemplation of green, as ill trees and herbage, must produce a stato of retinal fatigue, prodisposing a vio- lent excitement of the retina immedl- ately red substance is presented tc view.

 In New York. as i'll other great cities, where the fight for life is fiercest, there is price for everything-eyen under certain conditions for the very air we breathe Father Time himself is on sale. The Western Union Telegraph company has desks in tine national observatory ill Washington. Four minutes before noon the wires of the system all over the United States are cleared of busi- ness, and tho instant the sun passes the seventy fifth meridian electricity car ries the news to every city.

 In all the large cities the Western Union has supplied business houses, banks and offices with electric clocks that respond obediently to the daily mandate Each of these rents for $15 per year. and ill New York alone over 5000 have been put up Last years revenue to the telegraph company from the sale of time approximated $1, 800, 900.
 Water is sold regularly to tho ships in the harbor, and the ''water hoats, :" with big tanks on board, are familiar objects to all yachtsmen.

The supply from the Passaic was like mud soup, and for the time being tho owners of an artesian well in the Oranges did large trade in water The householders of Roseville and those even farther down town watched for the morning water carts more eagerly than ever milkman was awaited and saw sui fioient quantity for the day provided be- fore taking train for New York
 Ordinarily there Is no sale for air; but, like water, when man wants it he wants it mighty bad This for awhile was tho case ut Libby prison, where, before the prisoners organized sort of government of their own, it was customary for the stronger men to get as near the windows as they dared and then sell their places to weaker com rades who wero gasping for breath.

Training Women For rusiness.

A business woman's college has boon just opened i'll London, or, to describe the excellent institution's aims more exactly, school for the business train ing of women has been established. The school is mainly designed to train wo- men for clerkships and socretaryships. They arc taught shorthand, typewrit- ing, accounts and banking ill course extending over six months. Tho oppor. tunities are offered gentlowonen who, suddenly thrown by financial mishap on their own resources, can catch up a pro- fession by which to support themselves. Besides this the school accepts IS pupils women who wish to learn how to Icep their own books and personally manage their own independent fortunes. Then, too, women apply who hayo chance for government position and must be well up ii mathematics and get through special examinations. From it's gradu- ating classes tho school supplies seere- taries to busy philantlnopical ladies who need help in their work i'll the form of a capable head for figures and a neat hand at penmanship.

progress in the arts of civilization.
Mr.. Clum should be q competent Judge,
for he spent several years with these
Indians on the San Carlos reservation
in Arizona and afterward it became
his duty, in April 1877, to assist in the
capture at Ojo Caliente n. NJ, Of
Geronimo. Francisco and other Apache
renegades. subsequently Geronimo
escaped again, and after new career
of blOOdShed and rapinG surrendered
to General n. A. Miles, This was in
1886. Later the Apache'S of GeronimO's
band, men, women and children, were
sent to Alabama. For the first year
or two the mortality among them was
very great, but they have now become
