BUFFALO FARM.

wisconsin Men Gross BReeAlR1 the
Bison with PF0At.
Alhertand Charles Huber, living few
miles south of Durand, Wis, have q
herd of about rs full-blood bison and
some 10 crossed bulls and heifers, bison
and native cow, reports the Minneapolis
journal. About six years ago they were
hunting in the western part of North
Dakota and succeeded in capturing alive
three young bison, bull and two cows,
and these they brought to their farm
here. The animals grew and thrived
amazingly, and are pastured in an in
closure of about 400 acres running down
to the valley of Rose creek where they
have ample room and shelter.
Experiments were early. made with
crossed breeds and it has now been
found that the cross is very successful,
the half-breeds combining the docility
of the domestic animals with the en-
durance and large size of the bison.
They are also very fine fur producers,
and grow to maturity in. less time than
domestic cattle. The flesh of crossed
animals is very palatable, and the fur
has all the good qualities of that of the
bison, and is softer and more silky.
The crossed bloods can also stand far
more exposure in winter than can the
native cows. The Hubers believe they
have fortune in their herd if they can
continue its increase few years longer.

A squad of cyclists known as 'pio-
neers" is attached to every corps of
cavalry now in the German army.
Around Copenhagen all cyclists are
obliged, under penalty of a. fine, it is
said, to walk their bicycles down hill,
no matter how small the incline.
It is now being argued that tangent
spokes are q mistake, and that straight
spokes are really stronger. This is q
return to first principles, as the early
makes of bicycles had straight spokes.
An attachment to the bicycle has
been invented which enables the rider
to tell if the wheels of his bicycle are
in line. The average rider never gives
this matter thought, but it is really of
great Importance, and il the wheels do
not run true the fault should be re-
paired at once.
The perfect lamp has not yet been in
vented. The average amateur wheel
man wants something that viii never
require cleaning, refilling or any other
attention; but it will be few cen
turtles before he attains his desire.

Stamps as an Article of Diet.

Every day some fresh source OF food
supply is discovered. Adhesive stamps
have not hitherto been regarded as nu-
tritious; the ostrich prefers gold
watches for steady diet, and the trav-
cling tinker's donkey has reputation
for consuming any clean linen thatmay
be handy. A Hindoo paper, however,
gives an account of a curious incident
that occurred at the residency in a re-
mote district in Ceylon q little while
ago. Mr.. Pieris, the official assistant,
placed on his table some judicial stamps
to the value of about two hundred ru-
pces. While his attention was drawn
to something else his pet goat was
slowly but surely making meal of the
stamps. This was not discovered until
the goat had swallowed some fifty ru-
pees' worth of stamps. Immediately
the goats life was demanded as pen
atty, and the stamps afterward taken
from it's stomach were forwarded to the
commissioner.

Reforming Criminals.

The burglar does not often reform,
notes a writer in The Westminster Re-
view. He loves the excitement of house
breaking, the setting of wire traps to
overturn pursuers, the telescope lad
ders, the dinner hours of a great house.
These are a passion and almost ineradi-
cable. AS to penal servitude, such men
care nothing for a few years, which
they serve in the most exemplary man.

sooner than a novice. Then come the
debauch, the merry life, the brief holt
day, which is so often taken up by fresh
crimes in the company of friends newly
released, profitable crack" as they
say, more money for drink, days of I'M
considerable vice, empty pockets and a
fresh burglary, after period Of sobri-
ETY. wherewith to steady themselves for
their professional pursuits. a clever
criminal will never go straight TO any
public house and from thence to the
house of attack. Many have been taken
by such incaution, Identification being
easy.
There are a perseverance and ability
displayed by a smart burglar which
initiate against all chances Of reforma-
ton, his abilities lying in a stubbornly
evil quarter, and in this alone, and SO
in the other walks Of habitual criminals.

Acquiring Magyar.

When you have once learned to dis
tinguish between the sounds of the gys,
ssz, gyt, rs, sc, cs, CT, tvs and dozen
other combinations of consonants, you
find it easy enough to spell any word.
The difficulty is to pronounce it when
spelled. Some of the words are fearful
and wonderful to behold. Take, for
instance, Observation-Disclosures
bizyometak. - Was there ever such a
word in any other tongue? 1t is the
mode of grammatical construction that
is accountable for their abnormal length.
In this wise: Let us take the word
"vir," which is blood, and the word
"no, which is woman. Now, to form
the word sister, you must take both
these and join them together, "novir. "
IF you wish to say ''my sister," it is
necessary to subjoin the possessive pro-
noun EN-, when it becomes "novirem;"
to make it plural, you add the ending
EEK, - making ''noviremek. - At or by
my sister is "noviremeklol, " and so en-
rather in the style Of ''the house that

Wanted to Do His Duty.

The lawyers had badgered the juror
nearly to death with questions when
the judge finally took him in hand.
"You say you never heard of this
case" said the judge.
"Nary-a word of it, jedge, till came
into the courtroom, was the reply.
"And you don't know either the
plaintiff or the defendant?''
''Never see either of 'em afore today"
''Do you know either of the attor-
neys?'
THANK heaven, no.
''Then I should think you ought to
be able to give a fair and impartial
hearing to the evidence and render a
verdict in accordance with it without
fear or favor. -
'Jedge, as things stand now I kin do
that very same thing, but I'm afeard of
what may happen.
"What can happen that will affect
your Judgment"
"Well, jedge," explained the juror,
turning to the court somewhat confiden-
TALLY, eff the lawyers behave them
selves, I'll be a crackerjack juror, but
it's my experience in these here cases

works in some smart tricks that makes
me SO hoppin mad all the way through
that it warps my Judgment an then it
jest comes natural for me to watch out
for good chance to give him the worst
of it, an I amt no kind of a juror to
sit in that case. If you'll jest see that
the lawyers don't work in any blamed
foolishness to rifle me, I reckon you'll
find I'm about as good a juror as you'll
find anywheres in this county; other
wise I ain t fit to pass Judgment on who

A doctor, writing on the subject of
;he suppression Of useless noises in
tities, which he claims will hasten to-
ward convalesence many a patient whose
nerves are now too racked by perpetual
racket to give the system a chance of
recuperating, says he remembers one
delightful ward in his training school
wherein the "sister'' used TO insist on
a "silent hour from 2 80 to 3 80
daily 1t was the only ward in the hos
pital which enforced this golden rule,
alike beneficial to the nurses fortunate
enough to be drafted there and the pa
TENTS therein, who fourished and bios
somed forth into amazing convalescence
under the silence system and the good
nursing which accompanied it, for the
"sister" was born nurse, and she had
the real sympathy and womanliness
which caused her to appreciate the balm
and healing of that one quiet hour in
the day.
1t was male surgical ward, and the
patients on first admission used TO chafe
somewhat at SISTERS dictum-against
which there was no appeal-of 'no
conversation or newspaper reading dur
ing the hour" But gradually each pa
tient came to appreciate the soothing
lull in the busy hum of the ward, and
"sister' and her staff used TO watch
with satisfaction how patient after pa
tient fell gradually under the soporific
quiet of the time and went off into
comfortable sleep, which frequently
lasted long after the prescribed limit.
The good humor of the ward was most
exceptional.
The senior surgeon of the hospital
was never tired of saying: 1.-The pa
tients here, sister, get on as if by mag
ic What spells of witchcraft do you
weave to heal them SO quickly?"-Pitts-

American journalism and enterprise has
outdone all former accomplishments in
planning and executing the escape Of
Evangelina Cisneros from a Cuban pris.
on where she had been confined by Gen
eral Weyler for more than year. The
Examiner people sent special
correspondent to Havana to release her
1t took three weeks to plan the escape
and much of the plan was formed by the
young lady herself. She was supplied
with drugged candy which put to sleep
her companions and her jailor. She
then climbed to roof inside the Jail en-.
closure which enabled her to reach a
grated window high in the wall. Her
rescuers met her here, cut the bars and
allowed her to escape to a neighboring
building over ladder that spanned an
alley like bridge. She was then driven
away in closed carriage and hidden
until her steamer should sail. At the prop
er time, disguised in male attire and fur.
nished with forged passport, she had nc
difficulty in boarding an American steam.
er that landed her safely in New York
where a grand reception was rendered
her last Saturday night. The old saying
that truth is stranger than fiction has
been verified once more.

President Mckinley is considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of re-advertising the sale Of
the Union Pacific railroad. He is being
forced to this new position by a syndicate
OF capitalists who offer to take the road
and pay the government every cent it
has loaned on this property. As the ar
rangement stands now the people who
expect to get the road on Nov. lst, if
they do get it, will rob Uncle Sam OF just
$20,000,000. This proposed steal is so
enormous that Wall Street is quarreling
over it among themselves and as a result
the president may be prevented from
delivering the goods.

from letter sent by Mr.. n. Ilodgson OF
Portland, Ore, to Mr.. Frank Nager:
"Your pr ogramme of Indian Jubilee
received and must admit that You have a
good programme, the music part being
equal to most programmes given here and
better than many. We notice also sew.
eral of your own pieces which should be
quite fiattering to the residents of your
city,"
The above speaks for itself, coming, a.
it does, from musician of rare ability
Mr.. Hodgson being clarionet player OF
whom any city may feel proud rs well as
being a band and orchestra conductor
and director. Hurrah for North Yakima
