AN EARLY TEXAN INDUSTRY.

Cattlemep Who Laid the Foundation of
 Their Fortunes by Shooting Mavericks.
 The foundation of the fortunes of many of the great Texas cattlemen was laid in the years immediately fol- lowing the civil war, says a man from the Lone Star state.
 During the four years in which the drafts for the confederate army prae- tically depopulated the country of its able-bodied men, the cattle on the ranges, running unherded and un- branded, increased enormously In num- bers. Bearing no brand of ownership these cattle, which at the close of the war had become practically wild. were subject to be taken by any man who could sustain bis attempt by force of arms against other claims of owner ship.
 There was good commercial de- mand for hides, and these were the times when so many got their start ia life by riding, pistol in hand, up to the cattle wherever found unherded, shoot- ing them down, and taking their skins. The adult cattle then running at large were too wild to be disposed of tn any other way, and so the hide-taling in- dustry fourishedl but when, in time, through the catching and branding of calves, herds had been collected on ranges, the shooting of mavericks fell into disrepute and come under the ban of "rristling." Those men who, through the practice, had become well-to-do cattle owners, now were foremost in expressing it through the instrument tality of the courts and, more effectual- ly. by informal hangings.

Language in sealing Wax.

The language In sealing wax is much practiced In Paris, how that sealing let ters is the fashion again. An epistle conveying a proposal of marriage must be sealed with white wax, while ac. 'cepted lovers may use ruby color. Jeal- ousy Is expressed by yellow wax, blue implies constancy, and brown melanr choly; green suggests hope, and paier shade of green conveys reproof. A let- ter of condolence should bear violet seal in reply to the black wax intimat- ing death, and the ordinary scarlet hue is still used for business. Invitations to dinner display chocolate seals, gushing young ladies fasten their condolences with pink, and gray is the general tint for letters to ordinary acquaintances

Debris on the Ocean.

It Is a singular and somewhat humil.
iating fact that the most conspicuous
and indelible record which man Is max
ing in the strata now forming OF the
sea floor is written in the bits Of coal
and ash which are cast from Jul steam
steamships as they pursue their way
over the ocean The quantity Of this
debris Is very great, and, unlike the
wrecks, 1t Is very evenly scattered
along the paths followed by our great
steamships. 1t Is likely that already
In the tracks OF our transatlantic com.
merce, not a square rod would fail Ia
give a trace of this waste from our coal
burning engines. AS this material Is
not attacked by the marine animals
and is very little affected by the Other
agents of decay, 1t will doubtless BIZ
very perfectly preserved in the strati
which are to bear the records of oul

a German Passenger Loses His Child
ina Peculiar WAY.

From the Chicago lnter-Ocean.
A few weeks ago. on an east-bound
pennsylvania train, Of which I had
charge. were n fussy German couple
with seven children. They all got on
at Chicago. and were destined to n
small town on the line in Indiana. The
FAMILY occupied three seats in the fore
part OF one Of the irst-class coaches.
The children ranged from 3 to II years
OF age. and were a noisy lot OF kids.
In addition to the children the party
mad about 300 pounds of hand baggage,
consisting of v~alises. boxes and bird
cages. When we reached the station
where they were to get of I was ut the
head OF the train and saw the brakeman
help them of. After the train started
commenced to go through the cars.
When | came to the coach where the
herman family had been holding forth
! found a little boy about S years old
crying as II his heart would break.
When asked him the cause of his trou-
Bile he said his papa and mamma had
got on the train and left him. I i'm
mediately pulled the bell cord and
stopped the train. We had not run
more than half n mile from the station
where the Germans had left the train.
n l started one Of my brakemen back
to the station with the child. He had
got Just around a bend in the track
when the old German was seen coming
up the track at n furious gallop, waving
his hands frantically in the air. When
he met the brakeman with the boy he
declared that the conductor was trying
to steal his child, and would not o n

1t is very difficult to reason our
selves into an acceptance Of the wave
theory Of light and the vibration the.
DRY Of sound. Ordinary common
sense would lead Va to see that these
vibrations are ouly results Of light
and sound, asd not the cause. Yet
the scientific world has completely
surrendered to The wave theory. We
may next expect the proof that it is
the mill that runs the water and that
We have been mistaken IN supposibg
that the water runs the mill. We
must change our views as to the wind
mill and say that the mill operates
the wind, and not that the mill is
operated by the wind. If the repor
Of an explosion should jar and break
the window panes in our houses, we
must say that the window panes
caused the vibrations and the sound.
In fact, if any sound goes out through
the atmosphere we must say that the
atmospheric waves cause the sound,
while our smothered inner conscience
tells mp plainly that it is the sound
that causes the atmospheric waves.
Light, being a force, does not, then,
cause the waves in the ether, but the
waves cause the light. All this men,
sensical dose has been prescribed for
Us by scientific doctors, and Of course
ws will swallow it.
Prof. Dewar stands at tho head Of
the scientific societies of Europe. lie
says that oxygen is highly phosphor-
eseent. That means that under GER

steady light similar TO that Of the

electricity and then passed into q
vacuum tube, where il gives off q
comet-like phosphorcsent light. This
is another suggestion as to the origin
and nature Of light. The proportion
Of oxygen increases nearer the earth's
, surface and so does the intensity Of
light. As we ascend IN the atmos
phere, light and the proportion Of
' oxygen to other gases decrease il
nearly the same ratio. Along with
these facts we may perceive that thu

The Two Turkeys.

Mr.. Lanigan's fable of 1.-THE Two
Turkeys has a fine cynical flavor that
prodigal sons will relish: "An honest
farmer once led his two turkeys into his
granary and told them to eat. drink and
be merry. One of these turkeys was wise
and one foolish The foolish bird at once
INDUCED excessively In the pleasures Of
the stable, unsuspicious Of the future,
but the wiser fowl, in order that he
might not be fattened and slaughtered,
tasted continually, mortified his flesh
and devoted himself to gloomy reflec-
tions upon the breyity of life. When
Thanksgiving approached, the honest
farmer killed both turkeys, and by plac-
ing rock in the interior of the prudent
turkey made him weigh more than his
plumper brother.
