A Huge Moorse. Head.

What is probably one of the finest
moose-heads in the world was taken
to Bangor, Me-, this week by G. H.
Crocker, of Fitzburg, Mass. The AMI
NAL was shot up in Aroostook County
at the Ok Bow, aud the moose weighed
l400 pounds. 1t is about absolutely
perfect IN size, shape and spread of
the antlers. The, antlers spread sixty
inches, and when it is considered that
fifty-one inches is a large spread, some
idea of the immense antlers of this
moose is obtained The largest set OF
antlers of which there is any record it

A Remarkable Fau of Stone.

NJ. L. Fletcher, an English mineral
ogist, tells of remarkable fall of
stones which took place at some early
date in the history of Mexico. He
describes fourteen huge masses in all,
and advances the very likely theory
that they originally formed single
meteoric mass that was shattered by
the intense heat engendered while
passing through the earth's atmos-
phere. The fragments of this immense
meteorite are scattered over a section
of country sixty-six miles in length
and twenty-five in width, and it is es-
timated that its total weight was but
little short of 10000 pounds. One
piece of it, now in the National Mu-
scum at Washington. Atlanta Consti-

Mid animals I'M Texns.

Sheep and cattle ranehers in South
west Texas are asking the State to help
them TO exterminate or keep down the
wild animals that are playing havoc
with stock in that region. So far
from the advent of settlers thinning
out the panthers, wolves, and coyotes,
the animals are increasing greatly in
numbers through the plenty of food
afforded by the vast herds of cattle aud
sheep. The ranchers have spent
thousands of dollars in trying to abate
the pest, but without avail, aud now
they want the State to take hand. -

How Horses Sleep.

When the horse sleeps, one ear is
directly forward, why it is not known.
A naturalist thinks this is to guard
against danger, being survival of
their original wild habits. He says
''Watch a horse asleep through the
window of his stable, and make a faint
noise to the front. The ear will be all
attention, and probably the other will
hy round sharply to assist. Now let
him go to sleep again, and make the
same noise on one side. The forward
ear will keep his guard, with possibly
a lightning flick round, only to re
sumo its former position. New York

We fully agree with the st. Louis
Advocate when it says that mo sensi-
BILE man should get angry because a
newspaper man duns him for money.
A dun is not an impeachment ofa sub
scriber's integrity, but is simply the
outcropping of the publishers necessi-
ties. For instance a thousand men
owe a man from one to four dollars
each. He has to dun them all in order
to pay his expenses. Instead Of get
ting angry and stopping his paper for
what is honestly due, the subscriber
should thank the editor for waiting on
him SO patiently, and pay up like
man." . v
