On a Peruvian Cliff.

Explorers have found a great many
mummies in caves in cliffs among the
Peruvian mountains. How the Indi-
ans who entombed their dead in this
way reached the caves hundreds of
feet down the sides of steep cliffs, is a
matter of conjecture. A French trav-
eler, M. Weiner, narrates visit to
one Of these sepulchers, and the seri-
GUS danger he was in OF ending his
travels then and there. IL went with
two Indians" he writes, ito a point
on high plateau below which was
one Of the caves, and had the Indians
lower me over the precipice with
leather ropes.
"A journey Of a hundred metres
straight downward, made in such a
way, is extraordinarily long. l ar
rived at last at the tomb. 1t was
half closed with rocks. l went in and
found two skulls and a mummy. 1
tied the skulls to my belt, and taking
the mummy in my arms gave the sig
nal for the Indians to draw me up
"They obeyed, and gradually
neared the top Of the preciplce. The
Indians had not looked over it, and
had no suspicion of what was bring
ing in my arms. When the yellow
skull of their ancient ancestor ap-,
peared above the edge Of the cliff, the
Indians were terribly frightened, and
let slip the ropes.
II cannot describe my feelings in
the next second, the awful terror Of
beginning to fall. In my fright let go
of the mummy, and it was dashed
into thousand pieces at the bottom
of the abyss. But the Indians had
not lost their hold Of the ropes; they
drew me up again, and in a moment
1 stood In safety at the top of the
preciplce.
any superstitious Indians explained
to me that when those good people,
the mummies, are disturbed by In
dams they seize them in fatal en-
brace, and they assured me that, as
this mummy's head rose into their
sight, it opened its mouth and would
have uttered a fearful curse upon
them, had it not just then been
dashed TO the bottom Of the abyss"

Feeding Oats.


Generally and with the larger pro-
portion Of our crops we find it best to
haul up and feed out in the barn and
feed lots. In doing this so far as the
weather will. admit we try to feed the
corn fodder and coarse folders in the
feed lots, feeding the hay and straw in
the barn, says N. ]. Shepherd in Ne
braska Farmer. But 1t is often the
case that during the fall we will have
quite long spell of pleasant weather
and the stock will do fully better dur
ing the day running the pastures or
fields than in the close feed lots. We
find in many cases that 1t is a good
plan to shelter at night, but to give a
full run during the day. In doing this
we find it some advantage to haul out
corn fodder and feed in the fields rather
than to haul everything to the barn
and feed out there and then be Obliged
to gather up the manure and haul out.
While there is hardly any question but
that there Is some loss in feeding by
scattering feed upon the ground and
that the manure will not be scattered
as evenly as would ordinarily be done
when thrown from a wagon. But gen.
orally there is a considerable saving
in time and hauling, so much so that
1t will more than overbalance the loss
In doing this, however, care must be
taken not to continue the practice so
long that the stock are exposed to cold
or storms, or 1t is a good plan to feed
out in the fields when the ground is so
soft that the stock will tramp it up.
But by avoiding extremes the labor
may be lessened and time is often an
item on the farm.
The Hog Wanted.-A correspondent
Of the Country Gentleman says: We |
want more size, bone and stamina, bet
ter feeding qualities, more fecundlty,
and the bacon type Of hog, and we
want these things associated with good
breeding qualities, good development
at somewhat early age, easy keeping
qualities and, above all, docllity. How
shall we get what is wanted? Theo-
dore Lewis Of Wisconsin answers the
question thus: DO just as have done
get the best sows you can within the
limit Of your means, but do not buy
some half-starved, ill-bred animal that
is closely related to the razorback.
Get something that shows better q.
breeding, and have them served by the
best boar in the nslghborhood. Take
the beat care Of them, and let ingenuI-
ty be your guide in the construction OF
shelter Of whatever kind. Feed freely
and at regular hours. Never carry
mare than you can feed literally. ]

Col Hay was born in Indiana in 1888
and was graduated from Brown University
in 1858. When he was a little more than
20 years old President Lincoln took him
from country printing Office in Illinois
and made him literary private secretary
at the white house. in which position he
remained from 1861 to 1865, with the ex-
ception of brief period when he was in
the army under Hunter and Gilmore. His
army services did not amount to a great
deal, except to bring him the breVet rank
OF colonel. After the assassination of
Lincoln, Col. Hay was secretary of lega-
ton in Paris, from 1865 to 1867 and at
Madrid during 1S69-70 with an interval as
charges daffaires at Vienna. From 1870
TO 1875 he was connected with the New
DIRK Tribune. In 1876 he settled in CleVe
land and became active in republican poll
tics He was first assistant secretary of
state in 1881. In collaboration with
John Nicolay he wrote life of Lincoln.
He is also the author of a volume of poems
and a novel. 1.-The Bread Winners" ac-
cording to the general belief, though 1t is
not positively known If the novel is his.
His life of Lincoln is probably his most
ambitious work, being sufficiently ample
to fill ten octave volumes writer in
the Chicago Times Herald says of him:
He speaks French and German well,
and reads Italian and Spanish His man
ners are faultless; he knows how to en-
terrain with taste and elegans; he makes
a good after-dinner speech, and is capable
of producing a scholarly Grafton for Sc
rious occasion. He has already seen too
much Of foreign life to be in danger Of be-
coming at all Anglicized by
residence in London. He mar
ried a daughter of Amasa Stone, a
wealthy manufacturer of Cleveland, o.
Mr.. Stone settled a handsome fortune upon
his daughter, and Col. Hay built one of
the prettiest houses on Euclid avenue next
door to that of his father-in-law. He did
not live many years in Cleveland how
ever. There was talk at one time of run
ming him for congress, but he belonged
to the rich set, and his friends could not
popularize him among the workers in the
iron mills and factories. The death of Mr..
Stone left John Hay a rich man. Part of
Stones great fortune went to the found
ing of Adelbert College, which he desired
r to make a monument to the memory of
his only son; the rest was divided equally
between his two daughters. Hay built for
his family a new home in Washington.
He filled it with costly works of art
brought from Europe and with a big IL
brary of good books in many languages.
There he has lived for many years, lead
er in the best literary and political society
of Washington.

FLORIDA TOBACCO,
One Company offered S136, 900 For
Their Crop.

Tampa, Fla, March 17.-What is prob
ably the largest deal in Florida grown to-
bacco is about to be consummated. the
purchasers having left here last evening
for the Fort Meade Tobacco Companys
farms, with the intention of buying every
pound of leaf in their warehouses.
A. M. Dominguez, a leaf dealer of this
city secured some of the samples of the
crop and submitted them to prominent
has had many inquiries in regard to the
amount of leaf in the crop, accompanied
by several bids on the crop in grades.
One manufacturer offered $3.50 a pound
fiat, taking the whole crop at that price,
without regard to grade. He and Mr..
Dominguez left last night, as previously
stated, to make thorough inspection of
the crop. If the examina ton proves sat
lsfactory the sale will be clinched by
the transfer of the cash and the tobacco.
There are 300 bales of this tobacco, each
bale weighing about 115 pounds, this
would bring the total weight easily up to
10000 pounds and the cash transaction
would therefore be $685. 600
This company held on to their tobacco
and were determined to get what they
thought to be a fair price. The growers
throughout the state have as a rule OBJ
tanned only from 80 TO 60 cents per pound
for their product. This colony is com

for the purpose of securing a suitable
tract of land on which to plant tobacco
extensively. They have a large tobacco
plantation in Alabama, but think they can
do more profitable business in the south

before on anything except an exposition or
a railroad scheme. The betting commence
ed yesterday, and to-day for a few hours
preceding the big mill it was kept up at a
lively rate about the Kimball house lobby,
which was headquarters. The odds were
all on Corbett, but the sympathles of the
crowd were in favor of Fitzsimmons, and
when the result was announced the scene
at the Kimball was intensely exciting. The
seven-story arcade was packed with peo-
pie, women as well as men,
the living mass extending from

suit was announced it seemed that all
had gone wild Losers, as well as win
ners, Joined in the chorus to relieve their
highly wrought-up feelings. One of the
conspicuous losers was Capt E. p How

was betting on Corbett at the rate of

up by John Cunningham, the well-known
populist, who gets away with 800 of the
captains good democratic money. Hon.

lie against the dishonesty of officials, shows
that the sum of SO, 465, 921 was obtained. The
