Western lee Caves.


 At the foot of Cow mountain, in Col orado, the most remarkable cayerns have been found. There is a series of chambers of various sizes, the roofs hung with enormous icicles. The water from which these were frozen must have been very pure, as in some of the cases the reflection and refraction of light is truly wonderful, the glitter suggest ing the finest diamonds. The chambers are connected by narrow alleyways, and at point distant from the entrance there is a passage extremely narrow and inclined. This leads to a cavern some 300 feet in extent, containing enormous quantities of ice, which has frozen in all sorts of quaint and grotesque figures. In the middle of this cavern there is a lake 65 feet long. It is quite deep, the water is as clear as crystal, and cool al- most beyond belief. The lake appears to have no outlet, but there must be one, as the water never rises above a certain level. An effort is to be made to make a show place of this cavern and turn the vicinity to account as pleasure re- sort. Certainly as a natural curiosity the place is we'll worth a yisit.-N. Y. Ledger

WILD DOGS KILLING STOCK.
Cause Great Loss to Ranch Owners
 in Arizona.

Wild dogs are causing great loss to stoektnen along the border between Arizona and New Mexico. The animals have been known for only three years, first making their appearance in a small band in American valley, in western New Mexico. They have increased won derfully, and are now found over broad stretch of country, despite the eff forts of the cattlemen to exterminate them. They are especially numerous around Nutrioso. In size the dogs av- craze about 100 pounds weight. They have the head and shoulders of bull dog. but the build of timber wolf and wolfsh characteristics. In color they are ashy gray, with long, black hairs in- terspersed. Like coyotes, they are lit- tie afraid of man, and will follow horse men for miles through the timber, not hesitating to attack footmen. They oc- casionally visit ranches, and many in- stances are known where domestic dogs have joined the bands.
 The dogs secure their food by killing sheep and calves, and even full-grown cattle are known to have been pulled down by them. Colts are their especial game Thomas Alger, a resident of Nu- trossio, is responsible for the statement that animals bitten by the wild dogs, if not killed by them on the spot, die with in few days with all the symptoms of stryehnine poisoning. He cites an in stance where he was able to verify the local impression to that effect. His house dog was set upon by several wild dogs. Alger drove them away, and the dog appeared little the worse for his battle Yet the animal died in two days with all the signs of strychnine poison ing
 The timber dogs are continually get ting fercer and bolder, and the resi- dents of eastern Apache county are or ganizing to hunt them down.-Chicago Chronicle.

 The girl with the tilt and the ruffles wore Russian blouse jacket and big black hat covered with plumes.

 ness in q Public Place.
 Don't discuss your private business affairs in q public place. said an old Breoklynte to the New Yorker who ap- preached him in cafe near the city hall. Then the Brooklyn man, pointing out real estate dealer. said:
 Talking about a business deal in this very cafe cost that man $7 7,e00, and the money went into my pocket, too. You see, he represented a syndicate that wanted to build on some property in which l was interested as the owner of one house and city lot. The agent didn't know me from a Canarsic clam mer. We'll, he came in here with friend = one of the syndicate - for luncheon on an afternoon in last July. They took seats at this table. I sat at the next one
 T began to take notice, as grandn-as say, when I heard the strangers at the next table discuss quite loudly deal in relation to the property adjoining mine The agent had ordered fine layout for luncheon, and was evidently well pleased with his deal He said to his friend:
 Well, pulled off the trick for tbat property at 219 Cheap street to-day. The owner thought 1 was doing him favor. I started in at s15 1000 and finally closed with him for SIS, ,oo0 He bit in a hurry. Why. the property is worth $25000 if it's worth dollar to us. Now I must look for the chap that owns 221. He'll be glad to get $18.0oO for his house. It's lucky for us they're not onto the fact that we want to buy that entire block
 q didn't need to do any eavesdrop- ping, you see. That little speech of the agent cost him exactly $700o You can readily guess that I, as the owner of 221 Cheap street, was not especially anx- ious to sell after that. I kept Mir. Real Estate man on the jump for nearly five months, and when l let up on him I got my price, exactly S25,Ooo. A neat little profit of $7, 900 above what would glad ly have accepted. So you see the point of my remark to you: Don't discuss private business affairs in a public place. Now. we'll go to my office, and I'll listen to your proposition. ."-N. Y. Sun

 4 dress of reddish brown cloth was covered with extremely narrow ruffles to the waist line. Another dress of purplish slate color was finished at bottom with an enormously deep fringe of jet and black chenille. At the waist was a glint of orange.
 1 do noa remember that in a walk of 1is hours, covering some of the most fashionable streets in the city, 1 saw more than three or four skirts un- trimmed; these were tailor gowns of severe model. Dresses that have been made for February and March wear in the south ate flounced and shirred and puffed and braided without any of the reserve that in the early winter feared too much iuvishness in such mat ters as greatly as it feared lack of or namentation.

 On being again questioned, MT. Fetch said: You see those hands-the skin is now natural and elastic. Once they were hard and without sensation. You could pierce them with pin and would not feel it, and what is. true of my hands is true of the rest of my body. Perhaps you have observed that have now even ceased to use cane, and can get about my business perfectly well. You may say there is absolutely no doubt as to my cure being permanent, In

The Monitor, newspaper published at Meaford, Ont, Canada, first discovered this case two yearsago, and published itatlength, which now seems, owing to the cure of it, to be a miracle. The facts were so remarkable that many people doubted the truth of them.

 A ranchman's cattle are what he looks to for by far the greater part of his income. Nearly all the work done on the ranch is for their use and bene- fit. and they have to repay him. To in- crease his herd as the capacity of his ranch increases is the ranehman's idea As long as a man has only few cattle, say perhaps 25 cows, he can give them the best of care, and all the feed in the winter they can Hay to-" and the in- crease will reach very high per centage. Quite likely every COW will bring calf for the first year or two. As the numbers increase, however, the percentage drops It is always much better in q new country and on fresh range. Here is an opportunity for in- dustry in stock raising to show itself. In the early days, when large herds were the fashion. the industry" many men displayed in securing a large calf crop" was through the medium of branding iron. It used to be com- mon saving on the prairies that good rnstler with a branding iron would beat any mans herd of cows in the mat ter of increase. By the word hustler" was meant an energetic, interruptions man. One would hear of some big stockman and be told that he started ten years ago with single black steer and branded over 200 calves the first year-a truly phenomenal increase Longman's MagsziI

No class of people Is so liable 10 throat trouble as the great class who make up the Gospel ministry. The strain put upon the vocal organs by constant exercise; the sudden change from heated building to the cool air when the vocal organs are in a state of complete relaxation; the fact that a minister feels impelled to use his voice when actors and lecturers would take the needed rest; these are among the reasons why "cfergymcn,s sore throat" is known as special disease.
