A Great FARM.

, The largest farm in this country
and probably in the world, is situated
in the southwestern part of Louisi-
ana. 1t extends 100 miles north and
south and % miles east and west. 1t
was purchased 10 1888 by northern
,syndicateof capitalists by whom it is
still operated. At the time of it's
purchase it's 100000 acres was vast
pasture for cattle belonging to few
dealers in that country. Now it is
divided into pasture stations or
ranches, existing every six miles.
The fencing is said to have cost
about $4,000. The land is best ad-
apted for rice, sugar, corn and cotton.
A track, say half mile wide, is tax
en-, and an engine is placed on each
side. The engines are roG liable and
operate a cable attached to four
plows.' BY this arrangement thirty
acres are gone over in day with the
labor OF only three men. There is
not single draught horse on the en-
tire place, il we except those used b!
the herders of cattle, Of which there
are 10000 head on the place. The
Southern Pacific railway runs for SO
miles through the farm. The com.
pany have three steam boats ope.
rating on tho estates, of which three
huTdred miles are navigable. 1t has
an ice house, bank, shipyard and rice
mills.--Pittsburg Dispatch, ~.

Horseless Vehicles.

The week has witnessed very in.
teresting race between horseless We
hicles. The tualstarting place was
Versailles, though the course was
nominally from Paris to Bordeaux and
back-a distance of about $50 miles.
The only conditions were that the
competing vehicles must be propeI-
ed by some sort of mechanism, i. O.,
not by horses or by human action.
Bicycles, that is to say, were only adj
mitted if driven by petroleum or cleo
tricity. The stakes were 91, 400 for
the first prize, 96O0 for the second
and $500 for the third, G12 for each Of
the four next. The start, in Indian
file. was made on Tuesday at IL
o'clock, about thirty carriages COM
peting, and two minutes being allow
ed between each. It was not expect
ed that any carriage would get
back to Paris before Saturday, but
one of them actually reached the win
ming post on thursday afternoon at /
o'clock. The distance was thus &C.
complshed in little over fifty eight
hours, the rate of travelling about fif-
teen miles an hour This is an as
tonishing performance, and promises
great things, though OF course fifteen
miles an hour could never be allowed
on public roads under ordinary con
ditions The victor carriage, which
carries two people, was propelled by
petroleum, which seems, for all light
work, to afford the best motive power
One can hardly doubt that the horse
less carriage has very great future
before it.--London Spectator, June
Is, 1895.

Moro About the shamoless Crow.

The crows that live in the soldiers
barracks in India are all sly thieves, but
the men like the rogues too well to kill
them, and so they decorate them in
stead. The birds, despite their skill
are caught by being invited into a
room. A piece of wire is passed be-
teen the two holes in the upper beak,
and little bell or button, or round
bit of metal is fastened--each batch of
soldiers having its own badge-to it,
the crow is then set free unframed.
Very soon every crow wears its dis
tinctive mark, from which it is easy to
tell to what troop, or company, it be-
longs. Unhapily, instead OF feeling
their ornaments are symbols of shame,
they are all proud of them, of the bells
especially; and one can easily believe
that it is funny to see row of these
black rogues perched on roof, shak-
ing their heads and tinkling their bells

How to Tell tho Characters of HOrseS'
An old Hussar officer says that one
may Judge of the constitution and
character Of horse from its color.
Bright chestnuts and light bays are
high spirited, but nervous and delicate
Dark chestnuts and glossy blacks are
hardy and good-tempered. Rich bays
have great spirit, but are teachable.
Dark und iron greys are hardy and
sound, while light greys are the OPP
posite. Roans, either strawberry or
blue, are the hardest and best working
of all, even-tempered, easiest to train,
taking kindly to everything Rusty
blacks are distinguished for their pig
headedness. It's white stockings give
another clue to character. A horse
with one white leg is bad one, with
two ''you may sell it to friend" with
three it is absolutely safe and excel
lent, with four may be trusted for a

What They Eat.

An idea seems to prevail among
foreigners that the Chinese live on rice
and rats There is no greater mistake
in the whole dictionary of errors which
are current concerning the Chinese,
says traveller lately returned from the
Flowery land. In Northern China the
common people are too poor to afford
rice, and they live upon millet, wheat
and corn. The fish, too, are among
the finest of the world. You can buy
quail and snipe and venison, and one
could not see finer mutton that that
furnished by the fat tailed sheep OF
North China. There is no country in
the world where so many fowls are
eaten, and there are numerous chicken
farms, duck farms and goose farms. In
every Chinese city you will find stores
which sell nothing but smoked ducks
and geese
