Drove the Steer.

Squire Vogelsang, of Kelso Town

which may become as noted as that OF
the Iowa calf. John Kegler, who re.
SIDES at New Alsace, bet Charles Horni
beck, of Yorkville, that he could har-
ness an unbroken steer to the latter's
buggy and drive it from New Alsace
to Yorkville, two miles. If Kegler
won he got the buggy; if not. the
steer went to Hornbeck,
The trial came off the next after
noon. The roadway from New Alsace
to Yorkville was lined with men, wo-
men, children and an army OF dogs.
Kegler brought out his steer, little
runt, thin and wiry, and so viciously
angry that it required dozen men to
put on the harness. Rornbeck rode q
big gelding. A bride was put on the
steer, and the bit made it furious.
When it started the crowd yelled.
The steer didn't know where the win.
ming wire was, but it went the open
way toward Yorkville. The sight as
the steer went by, with bulging eyes
and tail sticking straight out, while
all the dogs joined in the race, yelp-
ing at every jump, was sight to be
remembered. The women waved their
shawls and cspes. and even the chill.

vile was soon in sight. Everybody
followed and the road was packed from

Nervous HysterIa and Electricity.


An unusually rare case Of supposed
nervous hysteria was exhibited at
Bellevue Hospital Medical college, New
York, the other day, by DR.. Herman
W. Biggs, professor of nervous dis
eases at the college. The patient was
healthy, intelligent woman, thirty
five years old, who had suddenly be-
come deaf and dumb, as it was believed.
There was an effort to speak, but no
sound could be uttered. At tho same
time the patient did not, or profess.
ed not to, hear what was addressed
to her. Rest and quiet did not
bring relief, nor did calm reason
ing, by means of writing, with the wo-
man produce any change such as would
be produced by mental treatment in
ordinary cases of hysteria. An ex.
| animation revealed the fact no local
disease interfered, the trachea was in
healthy condition, but the patient
had no control of the vocal cords.
| No vibrations could Reproduced; and,
consequently, no sound was heard. 1t
was clear that the vocal cords were
temporarily paralyzed. Professor
Biggs told the students that if there
was no permanent injury to the cord!
the local trouble would yield to and
be disposed of by the use of electricity
The electric battery was then called
into use, the cords were relaxed ane
the woman spoke as formerly. Hear
ing and speech were both restored.

The Penalty of Publicity.

The true woman, the true man, with
q soul sensitive to the delicate influence
of that higher soul within the soul,
shrinks from publicity. The personal
ity is more sacred than the person /;
both would be shielded from the public
gaze.
When woman chooses public CO.
reer, in whatsoever capacity, she is too
often compelled to lay bare her very
soul to the idle, curious eyes of q ieer-
ing mob, to cast her finest sensibilities
to the earth for the rabble to trample.
1t may be her duty to make this sacri-
fee, but it is none the less sacrifice
and though there is compensation in
added strength, there is loss for which
no amount of strength can make
amends.
Woman must always pay penalty
for publicity. Man has paid the pen
atty so often and for so long time,
that society has ceased to regard it a
penalty, and only when We find one OF
those rare, sweet souls, born out OF
time, that seems like violet trans
planted into snow, do we realize what
man has lost. But seldom fail to
see the effects Of the penalty in the life
of any public woman. Womankidd.

A Strange spring.

A mile and half from Franks, In
dian Territory. a very large spring of
clear, sparkling water bubbles up
through the gravel at the foot of Bog
gle Mountain, tumbles swiftly down
the hills over numerous falls and runs
a big Touring mill at Franks for the
Hon. B. F. Byrd. In the water is q
substance that attaches itself to the
buckets of wheel, forming hard,
smooth stone about them that has to
be broken off every Elk weeks with q
hammer. Wood or bone thrown into
the water is petri6ed in very short
time, and many rare and curious for
nations are to be seen in and about
the stream. Near the mill the roots
OF a large fallen tree, over but not in
the creek, are all turned into stone.-

Fishers Of Lobsters.

his traps carried out to sea and lost IN
the strong undertow. These traps are
made of two thick hoops of willow.
Joined by closely set ribs oflath, and
within them is hung piece OF old fish
or meat; the older the better, for the
lobster has a strong scent, and stone
is placed on the bottom of the trap to
act as sinker, while lon line ex-
tends from the trap to the surface OF
the water, and to this linea buoy, or
marker, is fastened.
At either end of the trap purse net
is placed over the willow hoops, and,
while it allows the lobster entrance, it
successfully bars his exit. The fisher
men work in pairs and set from 100
to 250 traps each day, and their pay
at this season of the year will average
$50 or $50 week.

I saw the gypsy peer,

Were whispered in her ear;
While on her cheek blush had birth
That spread In rosy fire,
As when the winter-wakened earth
Feels Springs divine desire.

The Fortune Hunters.

Three fortune hunters once agreed
To make O test of pluck,
To tempt the Fates and intercede
Each for share OF luck.
Each was to so in different ways
Alone, for wealth and fame,
And tryto win the public praise
A fortune and name.
One as soldier sold his sword
To nations that would buy,
Yet he amassed but scanty hoard
AS time did onward fly.
Another tried the gold mines where
Such piles Of wealth were found,
But twas a very trifling share
That his long labors crowned.
The third would not distance roam
In search Of golden ore.
But very wisely stayed at home
And started keeping store.
He showed good sense and enterprise
And soon had wealth and fame,
His hobby was to advertise
And thus his fortune came.

Trees Which Make Soap.

In the West Indian islands and in
South America grows tree whose fruit
makes an excellent lather and is used
to wash clothes. The bark of tree,
which grows in Peru, and of another
which grows in the Malay islands,
yields fine soap. The common soap,
wort, which is indigenous to England
and is found nearly everywhere in
Europe, is SO full OF saponine that
simply rubbing the leaves together in
water produces a soapy lather.
