1t is said that at a dinner given his
Cabinet a few days ago, the President
treated his gueats with cigars eight
inches long and one and one-half in
ehes in diameter. The cigars we've
received by the President from a man
ufactarer in Havana, and were a part
of an invoice made to order for the
Emperor of Austria, who likes his
cigars long, fiat and strong. and pays
So apiece for them. The tobacco is
of the finest quality to be obtained in
Cuba. The cigars are made with un-
usual care, and there is just as much
tobacco in ten of them as in a box
containing 100 ordinary cigars.-Salt

Origin of the Porterh0use Stenk.

u Va 'hV ~ StGhAs
In the old coaching days there was
Il tavern in New York, kept by a man
named Porter, famous for it's steaks
to which house one Saturday there
arrived a traveller who called for a
steak. Not enc was left, but the
hungry traveller called and called
again for y steak. Finally the inn
keeper in his di tress took from his
lalder a large piece Of sirloin, put
there for roasting, and cut from it a
piece 20 broil. 1t was found so dclic-
ious that the same piece was called
for after that, aud was christened
after house and its proprietor, ''Por-
terhouse steak" Up to this time the
piece of n;eat had been used for roast.
ing only aud the discovery of its viz
tues for breiling may be said to have
been quite accidental. Exchange.

Voters should bear in mind that
the recent Legislature made the pay
msnt of poll tax a prerequisite to the
privilege of citing III the future in
this State. As the law now stands a
person otherwise qualified to vote,
must be able to show receipts for the
payment of his poll tax for the two
years next proceeding such election,
or the Registry Agent can refuse to
allow such person to register. Voters
Woo fail to pay their poll tax this year
can net vote at tie next election.
This law cannot, of course, apply to
any person who is legally exempt
from tn payment Of poll tax.

How TO Estimate the Weight of Cattle

How to Estimate the Weight of Cattle.
The weight of cattle can be ascer-
tanned by measurement. The girth
close behind the shoulder and the
length from the fore part of the
shoulder blade along the back to the
bone at tail, which is a vertical line
with the bullock, should be measured
in feet. Multiply the square of the
girth, expressed in feet, by five times
the length and divide the product by
81. The quotient is nearly the weight
of the ~forequarters in imperial stones
of ID pounds avoirdupois. In very
fat cattle the forequarters will be
about one twentieth more and in very
lean animals about the same proper
ton less than the weight obtained by
the rule. The forequarters are little
more than half the weight of the liv-
ing animal, the skin weighing about
the eighteenth part and the tallow the
twelfth part Of the whole.

TwlnI,ling of the stars.

A discovery of much interest to as
tronomers has been made by DIR. l..
l.. j. See, who is in charge of Lowell
Observatory at Flagstaff, Arizona The
cause of the twinkliug Of the stars
has always been a mystery, none of
the theories advanced having stood
the test of thorough investigation. DR..
See has found the cause to be the
presence in the atmosphere of iunu-
merable little air currents or waves,
which dart through the air aud cause
break in the light from the star. The
result is that TO beholder on the
earth the star has the familiar appear
ance of twinkling. These little air
currents can be distinguished through
the twenty-four-inch telescope very
plainly on nights when this twinkling
is observed most by removing the eye
piece of the instrument. This dis
covery has been called to the attention
of the Royal Astronomical Society of
London.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

Icebergs sometimes last 900 years
before they entirely melt away.
Frogs subsist on insects, and are
themselves devoured by variety Of
other animals.
1t is said that il the earth's atmos-
phere were suddenly increased in
thickness to 700 miles the sun could
not penetrate it and the earth would
soon be wrapped in ice.
A lamp-wick which does not require
trimming has been invented. 1t is q
thick coil of clay, perforated with
minute holes, through which the oil
ascends by capillary attraction.
The overhead trolley now is in
Cairo, Egypt. The line was opened a
few weeks ago. The cars are divided
into three compartments-for natives,
for Europeans and for women of the
harem.
A ton of Atlantic water, when evap-
GRATED, yields eighty-one pounds of
salt; ton of Pacific water seventy
nine pounds; the water of the Dead
Sea more than twice as much-1S7
pounds to the ton.
A remarkable cave has been found
near Decorah, Iowa. In winter its
temperature is about sixty degrees,
while in summer it is usually below
zero, the frozen moisture depending
from the roof in the form Of icicles.
For the purpose of removing horses
from burning buildings n new fire
mask has been placed on the market,
consisting of hood to cover the eyes
and nostrils to prevent the horse from
seeing the fire or smelling the smoke.
In q recent test of floor material, the
most durable turned out to be tile
made of rubber. An English earthen
tile comes next. Vermont marble,
fagstone, granolith, marble mosaic,
yellow pine, oak, Oregon pine and teak
came in the order named.
There are no fish in Crater Lake,
Oregon, the deepest fresh water lake
in the world, and the Government
has decided to stock it with trout.
The natives used to say that the lake
was bottomless, but soundings have
shown its greatest depth to be 2O0O
feet.
One of the first instruments to be
shipped to the Klondike is Professor
Elihu Thompson's X-ray jewel tes-
ter, which will be used by miners to
test their ores. Many people have a
lingering hope that in the new gold
region diamond mine may come to
light, and in case of such glittering
find the assayers would be greatly
helped by the classifying which the
Jewel tester would render possible, and
even professionals could apply the
test. This instrument can be applied
to any ore or mineral find.

There is a pecan tree on the planta-
tion of the Widow James, five miles
from Waycross, that is a peculiar freak.
1t was twice struck by lightning last
year, but is still bearing some of tho
finest pecans. The last time the tree
was struck a bolt of lightning ran
down the corner of a smoke house
near by and smashed up various things
inside of the building, leaving an old
setting hen undisturbed in one cor
ner, says the Louisville (Ky.) Post.
1t then struck the clothes wire and
followed il across the yard to the cor
ner of the fowl house, where it came
near killing the entire lot The
clothes line was melted from end to
end. The tree, not to be outdone,
took on new life and is bearing some
very fine pecans this year.

United States Consul Charles
DENLY, at PelSin, gives the substance
of representation recently made by
Mr.. Brennan, British Consul on Trade
in China. Brennan states that the
currency of China is copper much
more than silver, and that the rela-
tive value of gold and copper is an
important factor in the consideration
of trade problems. 1t is undoubt-
edly true, says Brennan, that the or
binary business of China is done in
copper cash, and he incloses trans
lation of an imperial decree, in which
it is shown that the price of copper
cash has been enhanced over twenty
per cent. at the same time that prices
for ordinary articles of consumption
are materially increased.

The marvellous success of the Eng
lish in keeping 800, 900, 900 East In.
dians in subjection with handful of
men is explained, believes the San
Francisco Chronicle, by the fact that
the example set by the French has
been consistently followed. When
Frenchmen were operating in India
they speedily discovered that there
was no such thing as national feeling,
and they took advantage of the discovery
to hire natives to subjugate other ma
tiyes. 1t appears, however, that this
policy has not been so successful in
the hill country, where the natives are
now in open rebellion. But Sir Viii
liam Lockhart has been given free
hand since the outbreak, and we are
informed that as he is not TO be bound
by red-tape regulations he will proba-
bly, bring the recalcitrants to terms in
a short time. Just what this means it
would be hard to tell, but if Sir Will
liam Lockhart follows the example of
some of his predecessors in India, who
were also unrestrained by red tape,
the concluding years of the century
may be marked by brutalities which
the jubilee writers told us were things
Of the past.

Two Birds WIN One stone.

1t is told of Jesse James and his
gang that they once stopped at the
house of q poor widow and ordered
dinner while on a raiding tour in a
certain locality. After the widow had
hustled around and gotten up the best
dinner possible, she told Jesse she was
in great trouble, that the martgage on
her farm was due that very day, and
the man would be there in a few
hours to turn her out if the money
was not forthcoming. The bandit
asked how much it was and handed her
the $500. The man came, received
the money aud released the mortgage,
but had not gone far on his return
trip when he was told to ''throw up
his hands" Jesse not only took the
$500, but all the money and valuables
he had on his person, aud rode away
with a contented and happy smile on
his face. e.-Tulare Gal Times.

Horse That Menrs snecs.

Among the wonders of Surrey, Eng
land, which is a suburb of London
town, is a horse that wears spectacles.
He wears them for a purpose, too, for
his eyesight is 50 dim that he can't see
a yard in front Of his nose unless he
has on his "specs." Queer sight, a
horse with nose glassesl But Toby
that's what they christened him
takes his atliiction and his spectacles
as very matter of fact thing, and
goes about his daily duties calmly.
He has suffered from myopia for two
years. Veterinary surgeons recon-
mended some kind of glasses. Toby
got them and wears them. He owns
the unique distinction Of being the
only four-footed animal in the world
equipped with spectaeles.

FORECAST.

Take back, take back the harsh word now;
Consider II uuspoken;
Break, break, though late, the angry vow
That better far were broken.
The stream Of death will bear away
The object Of thy passion;
Oh. then obliterate to-day
The thought Of his transgression.
Forget the little III, revealed
As though by hates intention;
Remember all the good, concealed
As though by loves invention.
The hour may come when thou wilt stand
Unsheltered, and unshriven;
Forgiveness price Ia thy hand,
To-day let It be given.
With hatred In the heart at last
Bethink thee OF his terror
Whose alienated gaze were cast
On loves eternal mirror.
Thou might'st endure the sight Of woe
Tho scofllng-the derision-
But where thou dost expect to go
How cOuldst thou bear the vision?

The recent loss of three lives by
the drifting of a disabled sailboat
over the falls of Niagara has led to
the suggestion that safety cable be
stretched across the Niagara River
at point just above the head of Goat
Island. The scheme seems tauAsS n
wholly humane and practicable one,
but as the cooperation of the Govern
ments of the United States and Can
ada will have to be secured to lay the
life-guard, it is probable that it will
not play the part marked out for it
for some time to come. But no pre-
caution should be spared to protect
unwary or unskillful voyagers in the
Upper Niagara from the fateful ter
rors of plunge into the rapids aud
the cataract.
