one of the most remarkable freaks of
storm on record. Near Perkins, thirty
miles east of Guthrie, the Cimarron riv-
er runs east and west, with a low bank
on the south side. During the recent
blizzard, when the wind blew at a ter
rife gale, great banks of snow were
formed on the south bank of the river
Next the wind blew so hard that it lifted
the waves of water out of the river and
dashed them against the snowbanks.
AS they receded they left great big cat
fish sticking head first in the snowbank
where they froze and remained. After
the storm the settlers chopped them out
and drew them away by the wagon load

AS f+ lllustr rig the great T f placed on
Mamie, where prohibition prohibits" this
story is told: "A big, redfaced fellow,
who was suffering from Il long spell of en-
forced abstinence as we'll as from an
injured toe, was brought into the Office of
a well-known physician of Central Maine
to have the toe amputated. The sufferer
objected to the use Of ether or chloroform,
but when the doctor turned out tumbler
of whisky for him to drink, he no longer
opposed the proceedings, and the toe
was cut off without trouble. Reviving
after the operation he looked at the foot
meditatively for moment and then
cooked his eye shrewdly at the doctor.

most difficult thing to teach a monkey is
to make mistakes. This is very perplex-
ing to the monkey mind
Take, for instance, the "Blondin" mon
key. This animal walks along a hori-
zontal bar with his head in sack. Be
fore performing his trick, he is taught
to throw the sack on the ground several
times, and the difficulty is to make him
understand when he is to refuse to do
the trick and when he is to do it. There
is always a look of anxiety on the mon
keys face, which plainly betrays his I'M
sack. BY dint of great patience, how
ever, he is eventually made perfect.

Wanted His Sentence Increased.

A Frenchman who was recently SEN
fenced at Amiens to five years impris-
onment for robbery accompanied by vic.
lence surprised the court by confessing
completely in other crimes, and asking to
have the extreme penalty provided by
the law enforced against him. His re.
quest was granted and he was sentenced
out. The first sentence would have been
served within the walls of gloomy
provincial prison; the second took him
to New Caledonia, where he will have
d certain degree of freedom.

The word became, which has also been
given to it, is taken from the Argot.
Its etymology is unknown. 1t signifies
simply machine. lii Italian It is called
velocifero, velocipede. and byeicletta. The
same in Spanish. In Germany it is far.

The Mexican Cotton Weevll.
A Circular in Regard to the New
Pest Issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture.

WASHINGTON, April l3.-The depart
ment of agriculture has just issued a
circular TO cotton planters relative to
a new and very destructive insect
that has been brought across the Rio
Grande from Mexico into the cotton
belt of,Texas, and which during 1894
seriously injured the cotton crop
over a territory of about 5000 square
miles 1t is a weevil which attacks
the cotton bolls. 1t punctures the
bolls with it's beak and lays eggs in
the hole thus made. The grubs
hatch and ruin both the seed and fibre
thus destroying simultaneously both
products of the cotton plant.
The Texas Legislature, at the re-
commentator of the agricultural de-
partment, is seriously considering
the question Of quarantining cotton
from the insect infected district
and of protective legislation, as
we'll as the enforcement of remedial
work by act of law. The depart
ment of agriculture has appointed a
skilled agent who islocated at Browns
vile, Texas, and who will study the
life, history and habits of the new
pest and experiment extensively with
remedies during the coming season
under the direction of Mr.. L. O.
Howard, chief entomologist of the
department. Inasmuch as the insect
is new to American cotton planters,
there is much yet to be learned about
its habits before practical remedies
can be suggested This insect is
now in Texas and threatens to spread
to other cotton States. and the entire
South is therefore interested in the
problem now confronting the Texas
Legislature.

Bradstreet's Report.

New YORK, April 12.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say: The feature in trade
circles is found in the prices movement,
more particularly those for cattle,
dressed beef and petroleum. Droutb
low prices and s.hard times" within
two years have resulted in a shorter
supply of cattle. prospectively 30 per
cent. less than last year. Live cattle
are S1.6O higher per 100 pounds than
last year and 81 higher than the lowest
point this year. Dressed beef is .
cents higher than the average last
year, the highest since 1885. The COM
parativc scarcity of high grade cattle
is emphasized by the fact that present
quotations when made in previous Pc
RODS of scarcity, have never failed to
bring a supply when one existed. Pc
tro,eum sold to S1.571 cents on Thurs
day, 62 cents higher than Oh January /,
and IS cents higher than a year ago,
which is more than three times the
lowest price in 1892 and the highest
since 1878. Reduced production and in
creased consumption indicate the
former has been overtaken, which with
reduced stocks, produces excitement 10
the market.
Among important Southern cities re-
porting actual gains in the movement
of merchandise are Aslanta, Augusta,
Savannah and Galveston. but the i'm
provemeut there is slight. The outlook
is regarded more c~beerfully at New
Orleans, sugar bounty disbursement
being expected 5000. but at J Jackson
vile and Birmingham general trade is
quiet and in some lines slow. Nash
vile and Memphis retain improvement
previously recorded. Improved weather
helps trade at Charleston. At Chatta-
pooga, dry goods aud hardware are re-
latively most active

mutual respect endeavor to give to his
opponents the same credit for the SIN
certify of their conduct he claims 70:
himself. In one of his recent inter-
views Senator Tillmau has we'll said
that confidence is the first requisite of
compromise"
If we will really rise to the height Of

differences, but the u~nkiodness which
has grown out of them. putting aside

Kicking Against the Pricks.
Gen. McGrady's View Of the
White Supremacy Scheme.

CHARLESTON, S. e., April 4. 1895.
Gen. Edward McCrady. Charleston
Dear General Having heard your
name suggested on several occasions
as a probable and desirable delegate
from this city to the coming Conven-
ton can you tell me which, if any,
of the many plans published in the
papers accords with your views :?
Possibly you have thought of some
plan yourself by which white suprem-
acy can be secured to US without
violating any provision of the United
States Constitution.
I take it that our people are not
only opposed to any "snap ludg-
ment," but they wish to go into this
thing with their eyes open. and |
think they could pro6tably hear from
one who has had the experience you
have had in public affairs.
