Maryland. On October 20 of last year
the vice president Of the Franklin
savings hank OF Frederick advertised
that q young steer had strayed away
from his farm.
The whereabouts Of that steer re-
manned mystery until the end OF jan
nary, when one of the colored men
noticed several hens going into a hole
In q straw stack in the barnyard.
Thinking they had a nest there he
err zled in about fifteen feet, only to
come out with great speed. He declar-
ed that the place was haunted. for
something had kicked him. Another
man was sent in, but he came out ex-
claiming that something was alive in
there. He had felt a hairy leg and Il
had kicked at him.
A hole was therefore cut In the stack
and the missing steer was found. u

for ninety-nine days without water and
with no food but the straw that hem
med 1t in. It had not. however. been
as badly OF as the hog, for II had eaten
a hole In the stack about ten feet
square.
It was afterward remembered that
the steer had been seen standing
against the stack during the second
days threshing, and that the straw
was then falling upon it. but no one
had supposed that 1t had not moved
away.
When found the animal was very
weak, but on careful feeding showed
signs Of recovery.

woodpsckers and Their way..

Z Woodpeckers as a class form one OF
the most striking and easily distin-
guished groups Of birds, the entire
family conforming to a certain type to
a remarkable degree. Probably each
Of the three hundred species could be
safely described as a vigorous. muscu-
lar. heayy-bodied bird, with long
wings, close fitting plumage. and a
strong. stiletto-shaped beak. Their
legs and feet, like those Of the par
rots, cuckoos, etc, formerly placed in
the. same order, are short and stout,
with the outer toe turned backward
parallel with the hind toe as an aid
in climbing. In certain species. how
ever, this outer toe Is entirely wanting.
Their peculiar method Of gaining q
livelihood has developed a tongue per-
fectly adapted to their requirements;
Il Is pointed and barbed at the tin for
securing the larger insects, and Is
kept constantly coated with a mucous
substance to which the smaller ones
adhere. At the back OF the mouth It
divides. and passing each side of neck
at the base Of the skull Is carried up
over the top Of the head, where the
two portions join and are inserted In
the right nostril. In the common
hairy woodpecker. and possibly some
others, It curves downward. and Is
wound about the bony case which pro-
tects the right eye. the latter project
ing more than the left for fits accom-
mediation. This double bow enables
the bird to shoot upward and contract
the barbed tip with wonderful velocity,
while the mucus is applied each time
from two large glands at each side Of
the throat-Appleton's Popular Sci

In the opinion Of Carlos s. Fox, for
mer United States Vice-consul at San
tiago, the surrender Of that Spanish
stronghold means the resumption Of
business, with good chances for wide
awake, active business men, who grasp
the situation early to reap the great
est benefits. He says that, except 9

no manufacturing plants in. eastern
Cuba. Everything the people wear,
eat and drink comes from other coun-
tries. This being the case. there will
be q frst-class opportunity for all
manufacturing enterprises. The land,
which is fertile. but 30 far has not
been properly titled. Is well adapted to
raising coffee, sugar. tobacco and eat
tie, which, according to Mr.. Fox. could
be sent TO the United States without
causing competition with home pro-
ducts. In the interior the land abounds
with mahogany, cedar and other kinds
Of timber. Concluding, the vice-consul
says that q railroad Is needed from
Santiago to Havana, q distance OF about
eco miles. This would greatly develop

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES GOLD

Somewhere on the bottom OF the At
lantic, sixty miles or more south OF
Sable island, there is lying IN the
tangled wreckage of La Bourgogne
the massively muscular body of a
man. And in a leathern belt about
this mans waist are gold coins to the
amount Of $500, a goodly weight.
The man was Ismail Yousouf. Turk,
wrestler, protege Of the sultan. miser,
glutton. The weight about his waist
was what did him to death. When the
French liner went down it was a hand
to-hand fight among the passengers
and crew for possession OF the boats.
Ismail Yousouf was a giant, a wild
beast for strength, and he might have
thrust scores aside when he made for
q boat. But the belt was about him
and he thought more of that than be
did Of the boat or himself So he went
down with 1t and the world has lost
q unique figure from among her mer

Incidentally Scutari, which smiles
complacently opposite Stamboul. has
lost its demigod; for Yousouf was re-
vered and feared In Scutari, whence he
came. Yousouf was on his way home
to open q coffee bazaar or some such
place Of indolent business where he
might put more gold into his belt and
stun more food under his belt For
Yousouf was q gormand Of the most
Unsuitable sort. The Terrible Turk
had never really been beaten until the
belt gripped him this last time. Men
won from him on fouls, but not by
strength. It was his invariable rule.

The latest reports from the Arctic
gold fields indicate decided change Of
sentiment among the miners in favor
Of seeking their gold on the American
side Of the line. Such a revulsion was
to be expected and the idea Is to be
commended. The Klondike is not the
only gold region In the Yukon valley.
There is every reason to believe that
there are just as rich deposits In the
Alaskan streams as IN those Of the
northwest territory, and they can be
prospected and worked under much
more liberal restrictions. The fact that
the Klondike output Of gold has fallen
somewhat below what even the most
conservative expected Is in large part
due to the needlessly heavy tax laid on
mining enterprises by the Canadian
government. The fact that the govern
msnt has collected tar Of $500. 900 on

effect upon the fun development Of the
country. There is reason 70 believe

OFFICIAL PAPER OF MORALES, ARIZONA.
AS SEEN BY AN OUTSIDER.

The following from the Lords burg Liberal is New Mexico edi- tors view of recent political epi- sode in Arizona:
 The defeat of Col. Brodie, of the Rough Riders, for delegate to con- gress by jim crow lawyer who cannot address public audience five minutes without stopping to spit on the platform, and the defeat of Captaia J. H. McClintock, another Rough Rider, who was a candidate for the territorial council, by Sheeny second hand clothes dealer of Phoenix, indicates that the people of Arizona are not suf- ficiently advanced in patriotism to be entitled to admission as state. The territory should not be admit ted until the present generation of voters is dead and buried. The idea of beating Rough Riders in either territory is bad enough, but to beat them with such scrubs as were put up against them in Ari- zona is entirely too much.

quence, being obliged to travel in second class coaches and without Pullman car berths, and numerous other puerile matters. THE OASIS thinks that if there is to be any more war the government should call out the Grand Army of the Republic, and send home the feather bed soldiers who are now under arms. In the bloody four years between Sumter and Appo- mattox the old boys slept on the bare ground week in and week out without complaint. Many a wet and stormy night the writer, then cavalry soldier, has made his horse lie down ill the mud and at the end of an hour routed him out to get the dry and warm place made where the animal lay; and for days the diet on which he fed was raw "sowbelly' (bacon) and hard crackers which had to be split and the weevils shaken out before the crackers could be eaten. All the regiments in the civil war, when transported by rail, always journeyed i'll box cars. If the off, cers could get an old caboose to ride in they thought they did wonder fully we'll And never a word of grumbling. All those disagreeable experiences were cheerfully accept ed and passed over as simpl in- cidental to the very disagreeable business of soldering. Call out the old boys, Mir. President. if there is any more work to be done. They will do it thoroughly and effectively as in T864-5, and there will be no grumblings nor investigations. Sol diers of the present generation are too tender.
