MAKING MONEY ON SHEEP.

Anticipating Republican victory In
1895, Mrs. Allison, of Hopedale, bought
flfty-tliree lambs In the fall OF 1895 from
w, G. Baxter, at 81 each. She sold the
two wool clips Of 1896 and 1897 at $276 60,
She could sell the sheep now at 50 and
besides she has raised from them thirty
fine lambs worth So each. On her orlgt-
nal investment she could thus realize to-
day on sheep. wool and lambs 1851. which
is certainly a big profit on $5S. including
expenses. Martins Ferry butchers
bought sheep at seventyLhve cents per
head three or four years ago and others
sold at still lower prices.

Of cows. sheep and hogs, to which have
been fed cakes and meal made from
the American cotton seed. The results
Of this feeling have been closely watch
ed and carefully noted. To another
class of animals equal portions of meal
pressed from the Egyptian cotton seed
were given and notes made of the ef-
feet on the cattle. At the Department
of Agriculture the officials are very Sc
cretlve in regard to the results Of these
experiments, and will not in any way
intimate whether or not It has been
found that the American product has
injuriously affected the cattle fed with
1t. The outcome of this investigation
is Of the utmost importance to those
interested In this industry. for If the re-
ports are borne out by the facts it will
practically destroy the entire trade in

No Lnvatory for Leedy.

1t is a statehouse story at Topeka
that Gov. Leedy, who, when lie came in
to Office last January, declared that he
would not use the porcelain bathtub
which he inherited from his republican
predecessor, now refuses TO use the
porcelain lav;tory. 1t is equipped with
a supply appliance, which the governor
has not been able to get the hang of"
and one day when he was unable to shut
it of the water overhowed and deluged
the floor. Gov. Leeds private secretary
rescued his chief, and as the latter
emerged from the bathroom drying his
hands and face, he decided that 4 requi-
Fition be made for tin wash bowl. "I
am used to tin bowl, he said. 1T will
not run over and drown me every time
I want TO wash my face" The bowl was
bought. and to-day it adorns a soap box
in the bathroom.

CHAIN OF HUMAN BONES.
Made in Libby Prison by Member
OF a New York Regiment.

Made In Libby Prison by Member
of "a New York Regiment.
Cyrus o. Thornton, farmer living n
few miles out of Bolivar, Mass, has
an odd watch chain. 1t is made of hu-
man bones. The chain consists of eight
links, each trifle more than an inch
long, connected with plated rings. The
chain is about ten inches long and has
been highly polished by years of wear
and glistens like ivory, says the Fall
River News.
Thornton secured the chain at Peters
burg, Va, in 1864. He was a member
of company E, Tiftieth New York en-
gineers. A member of the Twenty
first New York infantry made two
chains while confined in Libby prison,
and on his release met Thornton and
sold him one chain for $50 in green
backs. Thornton has forgotten the
makers name. The bones were taken
from amputated arms and legs, and it
required is months time to carve out
the chains. For many years after he
came home from the war Thornton
wore the chain every day, but for sew
eral years he has worn it only on Me
mortal day and at grand army reunions.
Some of his neighbors laughed at the
idea of the bones being taken from hui
man bodies, and he sent the chain TO n
surgeon, who examined it and pro-
nounced it to be Of human bones.

FAVORABLE TO HEALTH.
Athletic sports InduIgcd In TO a Rea.
sonable Extent

sonable Extent.
Many of the athletic sports, il pur-
sued for sport or as a recreation, are
valuable remedial helps and aid to-
ward physical improvement, says the
North American Review. Unfortunate
ly, the spirit of emulation in athletics,
which in some communities has grown
into intense rivalry, is likely to lead to
eNcesses in training and practice for
contests, which unless checked and
brought down to u rational basis may
do more harm than good. Many young
men seem to think that because the
practice of athletics is favorable to
health the more they can get of this
practice the better. This is an er-
roneous impression, for it is as possible
to overvork in athletics as it is in busi-
ness and q great many young people do
themselves injury by their excessive
zeal in the practice OF competitive ex-
ercise.
In this line of physical activity, as in
any other, there is a limit to human
capability and it is possible TO develop
the muscular and nervous systems to
the detriment OF the heart and lungs
or of the digestive system. But the con-
ditions under which athletics are usual
ly practiced are so favorable to the
maintenance of health and vigor that
few persons who were sound at the time
of commencing their athletic efforts
have injured themselves by the prac-
tice of these vigorous exercises. 1t is
true that a certain number of young
men who were distinguished for their
supremacy in certain athletic events
have died young. But the number Of
young men who are now practicing
athletic exercises in this country and
appearing in public contests is very
large. as many as GOO or 700 entries be-
ing. recorded in some of the great city

A DEMOCRAT WONDERED WHY

Thomas J. James is an earnest and

Democrats who is not particularly ac-

in close touch with the powers that be.
"Why, man, that's Hon. Thomas j.

ers.
"You don't say So" rejoined the in
active Democrat. 81 thought it was
Anthony Higgins
"He looks a good deal like Higgins,
and bears a general resemblance to
Mark Hanna" answered Mr.. Sayers,

essay follows:
'One day, bright day, "a little bird
happy and stood on log and sang
all day long. That bird doesn't know
anything about cat. She thinks nobody

is OUR COTTON MEAL POISONOUS?
An investigation is now going on at
the experiment station OF the Bureau
of Animal Industry Of the Department
OF Agriculture, at Bennings. just outside
Of the capital, which will have a most
important bearing on the cotton seed
industry of this country. The hulls Of
this vegetable have been used exten-
sively by the farmers in the vicinity
Of those places where the cotton seed is
grown for feeding the cattle. Meal
made from the same seed has also been
used in great quantities as food for
various kinds of cattle. Recently re-
ports arose that the cotton seed meal
and husks that were thus being fed to
cattle contained some highly injurious
substances which acted as a poisonous
matter on the animals eating it. These
statements greatly alarmed those who
had been making use of the cotton SEED
meal and husks. and interfered with tn,
spread of the industry in certain sec
tions. It was found that these report
were being circulated principally b!
the friends of the Egyptian cottoi
plant for while the American produc
was said TO contain poisonous matter
the Egyptian variety was reported l.
be perfectly harmless.
These reports reached the Depart
ment of Agriculture and Assistant Sec
retary Dabney at once Instituted
thorough investigation of the subject
The experts of the Bureau OF Anima
Industry at the department expert

matter about two months ago an
