ported TO the State Department that foot
and mouth disease is quite prevalent in the
State of Sac Paulo. A recent communion
ton to the Biological Society of France
reports the existence of the disease in the
State of Minas Geraes. The wide range COW
cred and the difficulty of applying any eff
fective means of extirpating IL among the
cattle ranches of southern Brazil, render
the likelihood of its spread through Uruguay
and Paraguay to the Argentine Republic ex-
tremely probable. Recent experimental
shipments from Australia made a stop at
Montevideo. a course which might, in the
future. cause the condemnation of their car

greatest importance of the Information lies
in it's probable effect upon the shipment
of live cattle from Argentina, which has
so recently developed into a pronounced
competitor in this line OF trade with the
United States.

a Fish Story.

There have been many cases where
fishes have been caught in whose capa.
cious maws We're found long missing
rings, necklaces, base ball masks and
such like trifes. Once in d great while
thieving fish is stricken by it's con-
science into a desire to make restitu-
ton. Such a fish was the giant cat
which lay watching the shores of the
turbid Kaw all through the month of
April. Many fishermen tried to land
him, but he contemptuously refused
the most tempting lures, until man
of striking personal appearance came
one day. The big cat leaped from the
water and fell at his feet without want
ing for hook and line. The tall man
was astounded. On cutting open the
fish afterward he discovered a gold
eagle which he had lost year before
lying in the fish's stomach. Most Won

life in trying to restore.-New York Re
