SPEAKING of the efforts now being made
to induce congress to validate the fraud
nlent Brice and Coler railroad bonds
against Santa Fe county, it is worthy of
remark that the last time Delegate Catron
deigned to pay his taxes in this county,
on February II, 1894, he scornfully repu-
dated the amounts levied against him for
the payment of interest on these bonds
and did not then and has not since paid
a cent on account thereof. Yet there are
strong reasons for believing that, in the
twofold capacity of delegate and attorney,
Mr.. Catron is now quietly e1erting his
influence to have these same vicious bonds
validated.

In view of the close proximity of the

timely that the tax payers of the city

capable and honest staff of city officials.
Both parties have good men and We hope
that both will put forward their very best
material. Then, however the contest at

Vegetable Toys and Dolls.


With some clean potatoes, some carrots,
parsnips and toothpicks, a rainy afternoon
can be made so short that supper will
come hours before it is expected. The
potatoes should be small and as knobby
and queer-shaped as 1T is possible to get
them. The parsnips and carrots should
be washed clean and the toothpicks
should be of the cheap, common wooden
kind
With these materials, all or part Of
them, and a couple of knives, a whole
menagerie of animals and a whole room
full of dolls can be made. The toothpicks
are used to join the heads. arms, legs,
etc., to the body of the animal or doll.
Sometimes a funny doll can be made
with potatoes without cutting or shaping
them at all, but it is more fun cutting
the "murphieS" to shape.
A horse can be made with a carrot
body and potato legs and head and the
rider of potatoes. The trunk of an ele-
plant can be made by Sitting the tip of
a carrot and bending it up and the curly
tail of the pig out of a hairpin.
There are no rules to follow in making
vegetable toys, for rules and regulations
and directions spoil the fun. Just collect
the vegetables and tOothpicks and go to
work, and the dolls and dogs and cats
and elephants and pigs and tar babies
will almost grow themselves.

THE SLIME on FISHES.
Common to All Species and Essential
TO Their Existence.
From the New York sun.


A fish just taken from the water If han
died. is found to be slippery and coated
with slime. All fishes, the meanest and
the noblest, killihsh and shark, shad.
salmon and trout. wear this slime. They
could not exist without it.
The slime is secreted usually in a con-
tinuous series Of ducts with numerous
openings, arranged in a line extending
along the side OF the fish. Some fishes
have one line on a side some have five
or six. The lines may be plainly visible;
and in some cases appear to be a marking
on the fish. More often they are not OBJ
servable at all Some fishes store this
secretion in pores distributed over the
whole surface of the body, the larger
number, however, in pores in lateral lines.
There are also pores for the secretion
OF mucus, or slime, in the fish's head.
The slime is exuded through the d.
visions between the scales to the outer
part Of the body, over which 1t spreads,
forming a sort of outer skin or covering,
transparent, and having elasticity and ten
acity, and often considerable body. 1t
would not be remarkable for a fair-sized
FISH, say fish Of two pounds weight, to
have a coating of slime a thirty-second
of an inch in thickness. Fishes vary
greatly in the amount of slime which
they secrete; the eel will suggest itself
as one that is very Shiny.
The fish's Shiny coating reduces its fric-
ton when in motion and helps to increase
its speed. 1t aids in protecting the scales
from injury, being of sufficient substance
to serve in some measure a cushion. The
Shiny covering makes the fish hard to
hold, and so enables it the more readily
to escape from its enemies. 1t is some
| times repugnant to other fishes, which
are repealed by its odor. 1t is the slime
| from the fishes handled that makes the
angler smell fishy," as the expression
goes.
A most important function of the fshs
Shiny coating is to protect it from the at
tacks OF fungus, a form of plant life found
in all waters. salt and fresh, including
the purest. The slime covers the entire
exterior surface of the fish including the
! fms. Fungus does not attach to the slime
but if the fish were to be injured so that
! there was upon ii some spot uncovered by
the slime, upon that spot some minute
fragment OF fungus, so small as to be
scarcely more than visible, would be like
/ ~ to lodge. Once lodged, the fungus is
reproduced very fast.
Fish sometimes recover from attacks Of
! fungus. but much more often they do not
| The fungus displaces the skin, infamma-
! ton is set up, and the place attacked be-
! comes practically q sore. With its con-
/ tinued growth the fungus may cover the
/ side of the fish and extend over the gills

A FELINE CYCLIsT.
The Blue Grass State Possesses n Cat
That Rides Wheel

rom the tnll3Qelpnla Record.
Danville, Ky, Aug. 20.-DanviIe proba-
bly, has the only bicycle fiend in the shape
of a cat in the United States. 1t is a black
cat-as black as the hinges of midnight
and belongs TO W. q. Proctor. This cat
enjoys a bicycle ride as well as any
wheelman in America, and never misses
an opportunity OF taking one. The route
is never too long, and the pace never too
warm for him.
The eat does not. to be sure, sit upon
the saddle and do the pedaling but it
rides upon the shoulders of the boys in
the neighbOrhood. In the evening. when
the boys start out on their spins. one
of them viii place this cat upon his
shoulder, and there Tom will sit through
the entire journey. if permitted TO do So
The cat never falls from its perch. Some
times it is partially dislodged by the
boys in mounting or by a sudden turn
or bump in the road, but its claws are
ever ready to catch a new hold.
When the cat secs one of the YOUNGSTERS
starting out for a ride il runs after
him. and il he does not offer TO take IL
up, Tom rubs against his legs an
"meows' in a very supplcating manner
to be taken along. The cat is about a
year old, and has been a victim OF the
bicycle fever for several months.

Bees Resent the shotgun Method.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Shamokin, Aug. 1s.-John Reybeck and
H. c. Moore of Rush township engaged in
an exciting battle with bees yesterday and
were ANONYMOUSLY defeated, in addition
to being terribly stung. Their hands and
faces are swollen out of resemblance
Hundreds of bees were slain during the
fight.
While Moore and Reybeck were talking
seven swarms Of bees began hiving on
trees and a rail fence. Moore, the pro-
prietor. fearing that the queen bee was
preparing to fly 3cross the fields to a
clump of trees a mile distant, requested
Reybeck to aid him in collecting the bees
Moore ran to the house, and procuring a
brass drum began to beat in order that
the sound would drown the peculiar sig
nal of the queen bee. The method was
ineffective. Then he got a shotgun and
fired into the closely packed insects The
bees darted at the farmers and stung
them so badly that their sufferings were
intense. They were in danger of .becom-
ing blind, and, to avert this, staggered
into a cornf1eld with thousands of bees on
their persons and thousands more buzz
ing about their heads. Moore's lips were
almost swollen shut, but he managed to
tell Reybeck to dig holes in the ground
for protection for their hands and faces.
Their finger nails were worn off and flesh
lacerated by their efforts. Finally the
holes were made, and, being partly COM
posed of clay, afforded great relief
For two hours the men lay almost
smothered when the bees flew away.

cow IN A BED ROOM.
Young Woman Startled Into Hys-

Brooklyn, n. Y, Aug. 2O.-A Jersey cow,
known as Bess, owned by DR.. GeorgA
Sterling, of Southampton, L. l., created a
diversion recently by entering her owners
house and walking upstairs.
The doctor was out, and his little son
had left the back door open. In her wan
behring's the COW entered the room of Miss
Flora Sterling, on the second floor.
The girl, who was asleep, was aroused
by feeling the COWS breath on her face
She opened her eyes languidly and met
the great orbs and moist muzzle of the
COW. There was hysterical time for a
few minutes, for the COW couldn't get
downstairs, and Miss Sterling was terri
fed.
Then DR.. Sterling arrived and for half
an hour the doctor. daughter and COW
battled in the narrow hallway. Bess was
at length driven forth and peace once
more reigned.
