"A Lesson for Rad Rows

Nicodemus, the sx-toed cat that took
the first prize at the New York cat show.
is living warning to all wicked bows
who have a weakness for testing the old
traditions as to a cat having nine lives.
Nicodemus was on his way to the dock
in the arms of a bad boy, who proposed
to drop him into the river, when a man
ra1lsomed him with a silver dime and
cured the first prize he has been on exhi-
bition in a dime museum, and $1,000 has
been refused for him. Every bad bow
who drops Il cat into the lake should
carefully consider the story of Nicodemus
before he sacrifices the life of what may
be the prize cat of the land.

It is one of the disadvantages of pastur-
ing that it necessitates getting the cows
at night in a yard for milking where they
are, usually left until morning without
feed: II cows could have their way they
would do most of their grazing at night,
when they had filed themselves. It will
pay. to cut some grass for the cows nut
up in the yard, and when this is done the
effect of increased yield will induce the
farmer to stable his cows during the heat
Of the day, and provide food for them.
At night the cows might be allowed to
ting them up in the morning. Only a
feed at noon and night would then be re-
quired.

Street Cars in Mexico.
ABSOLUTEIY PURE

Mexico City has a first-class system of
street railways and the cars run nearly
everywhere and all center in one place,
the Zocala, which is in the heart of the
city. The mule is the motive power but
there is some talk of changing to cleo
tricity. All the funerals that take place
in the city are conducted by the street
car company, which has special hearse
ears built for that purpose. and furnishes
them with from one mule up to ten, as
may be required The street cars also do
nearly all the furniture moving, having
platform and box cars for that purpose.
Freight cars are also run, at certain inter
walls. On many Of the routes second
class cars are run, on which the rates
are exactly half those charged for first.
