BIG CATTLE HORNS.

The Greatest Pair in the Country Believed
to Be Owned In New York.
In the office of downtown whole
sale dealer in horns and tips, says the
New York Sun, there is pair of South
American cattle horns that measure,
following the horns, nine feet from tip
TO tip. 1t is believed to be the biggest
pair of horns in the country. There
may be others of wider spread than
these, for these curve forward some
what as well as outward aud upward,
but none Of SO great length, There are
other noble pairs of horns in the same
Office. For the great pair the dealer
has more than once received an offer of
seventy-lve dollars.
Cattle horns are used for the manu-
facture Of combs, knife scales, buttons
and other articles, and the tip or solid
part is used for pipe stems, buttons,
jewelry, ball fringes, and so on. Oeca-
sionally there is call for pair of
horns for decorative purposes, which
the dealer supplies, and which he has
mounted, il desired Single pairs of
horns sell at from seventy-ive cents to
five dollars pair, according to their
size and beauty; the mounting may
cost dollar and ahalf to three dollars

ENOCH UP A TREE.

A Nebraska Woman Who Has No Liking
for Romantic Tennysonian Outcomes.
A paper in western Nebraska con-
tains the outline of q story that should
be slung into undying verse by a poet
as good as the author of "Enoch
Arden" Some years ago, in the town
where the paper is published, there
lived a man who had wife and daugh-
ter. He seemed prosperous, and his
credit was good for anything he de-
sired.
One fine starlight night he disap-
peared. taking with him nearly every,
thing that wasn't nailed down. He
had made about every man in town a
creditor, and when he went away the
people betook themselves into outer
darkness for awhile and walled and
gnashed their teeth.
The wife and daughter were treated
the same as the rest. They found
themselves destitute. The fiend in hu-
man form who had so long officiated as
husband and father had left them not
q dollar. The lady and her daughter
were, of course, looked coldly upon for
awhile, as people believed them to be
In collusion with the departed. But
they were not depressed by this. They
went manfully to work like little hero,
ines in play; the mother did sewing,
and the daughter did whatever she
could get to do. They prospered, as
they deserved to prosper, The older
heroine in time established millinery
store which captured all the trade,
while the younger became principal Of
the schools, They had money in the
bank, and could eat ice cream when,
ever they wanted to.
The other day seedy tramp called
at the back door of "a lady's residence
and asked for drink and something
to eat. The good woman looked at
him intently, and recognized her hus-
band. And now the really beautiful
part of this story comes in. Did the
lady kill the fatted calf for the prodi-
gal and bid him welcome and forgive
the past? Not to any great extent.
She called the family dog, large
creature with a penchant for human
remains, and no man ever climbed a.
tree quicker than did the erring hus.

EATING MEAT RAW.
A Curious Habit Said to Be Increasing In
London.

The well-known favor with which
Englishmen regard underdone beef
brings to notice curious habit which
is said by the New York Advertiser
to be on the increase in London, that
of eating meat raw, or nearly SO. The
habit started from belief that it was
conducive to health.
Of late years there has been great
run on the gravy or juice expressed
from raw beef by the latter being
squeezed into pulp; but, quite apart
from this, many regular customers buy
the finest cuts with a special view to
eating the latter raw, each customer
having an earnest belief that he bene-
fits in health from the practice. In
most cases it is more than matter of
health than of actual taste. There are
two remarkable points about raw meat
eating, one of them being that great
many butchers themselves constantly
cut prime bits off and chew them.
The other point is that great many
people, who do not at home eat in raw
state the meat that they buy, judge the
quality when buying by chewing a bit
of raw meat, just as they might taste of
butter or cheese. celebrated London
barrister cats quantities of the best
steak finely minced with salad. aud in q
great many other cases the meat is cut
into very slim shreds and made
into sandwiches, with seasoning added.
Restaurant-keepers say that the chief
call is for meat very much underdone,
but there are great numbers of faddy
people who eat meat absolutely raw.

ENVELOPE FLAPS.
Old Nags Said to Be Used to Make Them
Adhesive.

Envelope-lickers will do well to
pause and ponder on the fact that a
man has died In consequence of in
dulging in the popular but disgusting
trick of moistening the adhesive en-
velope with the tongue, advises Oak
land Echoes. Some will say: How
can gum arabic poison any personP"
Gum arabic? Are they so innocent as
to believe that this article, raised to a
prohibitive price by the Egyptian war
and subsequent closure Of the Soudan,
is used on the envelopesp Do they see
that ancient nag hobbling down the

when that decrepit animal has made
his bow to the knaclser, and yielded up
his hoofs to the glpe-boiler, perhaps
they NAV have lick at his remains on
the envelope they are dispatching to a
friend or sweetheart.
And should some taint of animal
poison lurk amid that gum, they may
soon require other, and black -bordered,
envelopes to be licked for them when
their mourning cards are sent out.

The coweors DAY IS OVER.
He Is No Longer In Evidence Out In the
Far West.


The cowboy, like the buffalo, is fast
becoming extinct. says Lippincott's
Magazine, In the dawn of the new CEN
tury now approaching he will be re-
garded as a curiosity, Then years
hence he will have attained the dignity
of tradition. History, which embalms
the man in armor and exalts the pio-
neer, holds place for him. The niche
may be modest one, but he has his
part in conquering new country and
no impartial record of western evolu-
tion can omit his picturesque figure.
Before civilization devours his dignity
let us try to detain it moment in its
real likeness and garb.
Dwellers in the long-settled commu-
mites scarcely realize how great a
change has come over the far west
during the last decade. Ranches there
will always be-ranches for grain, hay,
fruit and blooded live stock but not
for the rearing of range cattle, Yet
the time is in easy memory when there
was a craze over the cattle business;
when the cowboy was king at Dodge
City; when hundreds of educated young
men went west to share the hardships
of herders. To-day the cattle ranches
are deserted or mortgaged or turned
into farms. A more advanced intelli-
gence has penetrated the possibilities
of irrigation and water is reclaiming
the wilderness once given over to the
long-horn steer.
The decline of the range cattle indus
try has been as amazing and rapid as
was its rise. The business is not simply
suffering from stagnation; it has almost
ceased to exist Early in the sos a
beef steer running on the range repre-
sented forty dollars; one-fourth that
sum would pay for him now. Thirty
dollars was the average for d COW with
calf at her side; now whole herds are
disposed of for six dollars heed,

occurred to Mr.. Thurmond that per-
haps a pet chicken which had the en-

how to connect it with the robbery
other than by resorting to the AK blade
was beyond his reach. His decision
was soon made up that the chicken
should pay the penalty, and like many
others that have taken the same route
to the fowls paradise, off went the
head. After careful post mortem, to
the astonishment of those present, on
splitting open the gizzard the gem was
found firmly encysted in that organ,

HOME INDUSTRIES.

What People Outside Think of Them,
A friend writing to the LIGHT
among other things speaks OF San
Antonio's home, industries. This
is what he says:t
"The local factories are waking
up. | see they advertise and dis.
tribute samples. By this they be-
come known and the wares are ap-
preciated. Thus they will prosper,
but San Antonio must do her
share. There must be no more
sending out for printing, wagons
or anything else. 1t is not what a
city imports that makes it rich,
for it gets the money it would
otherwise send away and gives
employment to her citizens. San
Antonio should cry now for cot
ton mill, q wooden mill, a packery,
q tannery, a canning factory and
glue works. There's enough trade
almost in San Antouio to support
these, and the business district
tributary to it would make them
prosperous. The material needed
is with you, so Is the labor. The
local manufacturer can make as
cheap as those north and east with
the same profit, and by saving Of
freights on the raw and manufac-
tured material, an additional profit
and offer q cheaper article. Let
the good work go on. There's mil
lions in it and it will be San An
tonio's salvation.
