Montana Cattle Trade.

HELENA, Mont, January 5.-The year
1895 was the greatest cattle year Mon
tana has had SO far as total receipts
from sales are concerned. Revised fig
ures of the business done during the
year prepared in the Office of the Mon
tana Board Of Stock Commissioners,
give the total receipts at 81, 900, 900.
The Secretary Of the board has hand
led during the year on account Of strays
sl79,72l. The shipments of cattle dur
ing the year 1895 aggregated 246, ,46C
head, the slaughter for home consump-
tion being $1,000 head, making the
total output 800, ,460 head, average price
for the year was trife over s36 per
head. Thus it will be seen that the
cattle industry brought more than s1l,-
000, 900 into Montana during 1895. The
report Of the State Vegetarian shows
there were brought into Montana in
1895 10000 head Of cattle.

Railrar construction ia IS9s.

The Railway Age says: Railway
building in the United States reached
this year lower point than in any OF
the last twenty years; indeed, in only
two years since 1865, thirty years ago,
has 80 small mileage been built. Our
records for 1895 now show only l,IS2
miles OF track laid, tremendous de-
cline from the great year Of 1887, when
almost $4,000 miles were put down. In
the eight years since that time the de-
crease in construction has been great
and continuous, and this year the total
built was only about 100 miles more
than In the year ls55--forty years ago.
In Idaho, Oregon and Utah not sim
gle mile Of new track was laid.

It is hard to believe that the speed
of q sailing vessel can be increased by
boring holes in her sails but an Ital-
ian sea captain claims to have con-
Quoted experiments which go q long
way toward proving it. His theory is
that the force of the wind cannot
fairly take effect in an inflated sail,
because Of the cushion of immovable
air which fills up the hollow. To pre-
vent the formation Of this cushion, the
captain bored number of holes in the
sail. These holes let through the
air which would otherwise have
been retained in the hollow of the
sail, and allowed the wind to exercise
its whole power by striking fairly
against the sail itself. Several trials
Of this device have been made, agt9i it
has been found that in a light wsad a
boat with ordinary sails mate four
knots, while with the perforated sails
she covered five and a quarter knots.
In a fresh breeze she made seven knots
with the ordinary, and eight and three
quarter knots with the perforated
sails; and in a strong wind she made
eight knots with the old and ten knots
with the new sails.

the half sobered fellow stopped. and,
at the third attempt of very shaky
hands, succeeded in lighting the
suffering bit of candle which Mr..
Roche's goodman had given him some
days before. As he stopped, the fat

rumble of the express in the deep
