Professor Carr Harris has long en-
tertained the theory that all domesti-
Gated cattle are descended from wild
ancestry, and that, although crossed
many times, each animal retains u
small percentage of its original blood,
and that once in a great While cattle
produce an animal similar to the orig
inal. The past summer he made a tour
OF Canada, visiting cattle breeders TO
discover whether there We're animals
in the herds resembling their wild an
cestors. 1t is alleged that he had not
got eight miles from Kingston before
he found proof that he looked for. He
saw grazing on a farm a young COW
in every particular resembling a buff
falo, with wine-colored curley hair. He
searched further until he had collected
q herd of seventeen of such cattle. They
are now on a farm about ten miles
from Kingston. Two calves have been
born since which retain all the pecu-
liarities of their parents. Professor
Carr Harris thinks the pelts of these
animals will be valuable for robes The
COWS are good mixers and of a quiet
nature.

weighty oratory to proceed by any Ell
fort of imagination. The hair OF the
head is superintendent, with suspl-
cion of cosmetics and excessive brush
ing, while round the face is a sort OF
rope frame, which, on close inspection
is perceived to be intended for what is
called a Newgate fringe. The BODY is
small and puny, and the attitude the
very reverse of that of an orator. The
legs are not separated, and look as II
the sculptor had had in his thoughts
dryad rather than a man, for they con-
vey the idea of the trunk OF tree
rather than the limbs of a human be-
ing. The general effect is that OF the
most insignificant person who ever
walked the earth, without conveying
the faintest resemblance of what MI,
Bright was like. 1t will be necessary
to take the opinion of the House Of
Commons as to this statue being al
lowed to remain where it Is. IN the
meanwhile, it is a. pity that Mr.. Speak
er does not have the same disciplinary
authority over statues as he has over

pend it from further attendance in the
lobby until its future destination be
decided on.-London Truth.

The effect of thunder, or the firing Of

either of these sounds start the cock

T. Rope, writing to the Zoologist, says
that at place between five and six
miles distant from the garrison town
Of Colchester he has heard pheasants

artillery practising there, and has on
many occasions noticed the same thing
elsewhere. The Growing sounds more
like the answer to a challenge that the
expression of fear. Mr.. j. e, Harting
points out that the observation is not
new. Gilbert White remarked centu-

There is already vigorous protest
against railroad building on any part
of the old Green, be that part COW
cred with concrete or grass. Hands
off the Green!" is the cry, and that
cry will doubtless grow heartier and
more vociferous If there is any serious
danger that the sacred spot is to be
invaded Aside from sentimental OBJ
jections the most weighty reason why
the thronged corner which has thus far
appeared is that it would encourage
waiting. One theory is that young
men would wait there for their girls
and that girls might even wait there
for their young men. This would per-
haps relieve the pressure on the post
office corridors and some other places
but it would, of course, be shocking.
There would also be much waiting of
men and women with bundles, babies
and other paraphernalia of life
But tine most solid objection is in
this case the most sentimental one.
The people do not want the Green
"cluttered up" any more than it is, ard
many would be glad to see it relieved
Of that which now cumbers it. The
only device, as 1t seems to us, that will
at all meet with public favor is the
building of light and ornamental
roof over the sidewalk on Chapel and
Church streets. This roof might ex-
tend far enough on Chapel and Church
streets to cover any crowd that would
gather there, and it would not shut
| the beauty of the Green out of sight
If it would not give all the shelter
| desirable it would give all that could
reasonably be expected and more than
can be found in many cities where
there is much travel by electric cars.
| With such shelter and with arrange
ments by the roads to keep their ears
moving instead of standing for several
minutes at the corner the problem
would perhaps be as well solved as il

Senator Jones of Nevada ought to

says: The next congress, so far as

troll of the silver men. There will be
no legislation on the tariff. This much
is settled. Indeed, nothing will be done
on this subject for the next ten years,

now, protection and free silverl We

STREET SPRINKLING.

The elms are in a fair way to be
sprayed, and it is to be hoped that as
soon as the weather becomes such that
horses will be in no danger of slipping
on it the dusty streets will also be
sprayed. The Committee on Ordi-
nances has made a move toward hav-
ing the streets sprayed. 1t has voted
to recommend the passage of an ordi-
nance providing that the street sprink-
ling of the city of New Haven be plac-
ed in the hands of the Board of Public
Works, who shall make a contract or
contracts for period of not exceeding
one year, and shall advertise for sealed
bids, and the contract shall be awarded
to the lowest responsible bidder or bid
ders.

of it, and If there is any cat In the

Something should be done. and that
right soon. 1t will not be long before
dust will be blowing about our streets
in such quantity and of such quality
that horses will suffer from it. Their
convenience and comfort should be
looked after, and if human beings can
get some incidental protection all the
better.
The Court of Common Council should
adopt this, or some other reasonable
and practical plan, as soon as possible.

a wired collar of cream lace. 1t Is
drawn in at the waist by a wide belt of
the cloth of which the skirt is made

Very cheap silk or satin, if only it is

only the odds and ends of lace that
came off an old dress, the portions Of

regular piece from the lace overdress

lace will make the cheap satin look
really fine, always supposing that the
color is good The lace being, as sug-
gested, odds and ends, may be a little
queer here and there showing small
holes, thin places, marks of necessary
piecing. ETC., but it in turn will look
fresh if the whole is worn under a
blouse of crisp net. Indeed, satin and
lace otherwise unusable will combine to
make a bodice which when worn under

Opportunities in Black Skirts.

skirt, average folk so on wearing them
and they will look well so attired for a
year or more. 1t is therefore wise to go
in for some Of the bargains in high
class black skirts that, in view OF the
novelty innovations, are selling at low
prices, but don't put full price into such
a garment. Waists to SO with them

One effect of the Raines law in New
York which was probably not foreseen
by many OF the country members who
voted for it, is to largely curtail the
consumption of cheese. One wholesale
dealer in cheese in New York city says
that from 100000 to 200, 900 boxes of the
article have been taken annually by
the saloons Of the city and Brooklyn
alone for the free lunch counters which
are now abolished. Another dealer
says that the barroom trade had con-
stituted fully one third OF his entire
business Another dealer declares that
about one-half of the cheese sold in the
State was taken by the saloons, clubs
and hotel barroons, and they are all
of the opinion that the destruction Of
this demand for cheese will in no part
be made good by increased consump-
ton in the homes.
