A correspondent of Colman's Rural
World writes that there is a good doal of
complaint of the bruised condition of
cattle and other live stock coming to the
markets. The complaint comes from
packers and commission men and is
brought principally against The cattle
coming from western states. The injury
originates, it is said, from overcrowding
the cars. When the cattle get down
they are prodded with poles by the
shippers employees until frequently the
animal is badly bruised Tho injury is
not apparent until the animal is slaugh-
tered, but is such that it not only affects
the keeping quality of the meat but also
renders it less valuable for immediate
sale.

Several years ago an American man
or-war was anchored in Spanish port.
Some of the sailors seeing cock fight
remarked to the Dons that they had
rooster which could whip any bird. 1t
was an eagle. BY plucking out most of
his feathers and starving him down they
passed him into the ring os an American
rooster Of the Shanghai variety. The
Spanish cock came in proudly. The
eagle was sullen. The cock attacked
him, drawing first blood and cheers from
the Spaniards. The eagle gave scream,
jumped on the rooster, tore his head off,
aud began to eat him. The Spaniards
paid their bets, but the American bird is
a mystery to them to this day. --Ex.

Use of a Great Name.

Here's 6 tip for some of our old friends who have bis names and need a little ready money: Turner Beall, president Of the Produce Exchange Trust Company, used to be secretary of the Produce Exchange and of the New York Southern Society. Among the men of his acquaintance he ad- mires none so much as does Colonel William de Hertburne Washington. A little while ago he asked Colonel Washington if he might use his name in a financial transaction. Having im- plicit faith in Beall the colonel con- sented, and was pleased to receive 8 short time afterward check for $15000, his share of a deal made by his friend on the strength of the name of Washington

New Use for A1umins III.

With pencil Of aluminium indelibIe characters can be written or drawn on glass or porcelain, and when treated with hydroehlorlc acid, the surface covered by the characters becomes etched. When the characters are not etched, but simply furnished, they ex- actly resemble inlaid silver. This property Of aluminium was recently discovered by MT Charles Margot of Geneva, Switzerland. It is indispensa- ble first to remove every trace of grease from the surface to be orna- mented by polishing with chalk, else the aluminium will not take hold. Since the effect is only produced on substances containing silicic acid, it has been suggested that an aluminium pencil would be an unerring detector of false diamonds. Magnesium, cad mium and zinc act in similar man.

GIRL WHO HAS A TAME DUCK.
Odd Pet of a Young Woman Who Lives
 at Lake Bluff and Goes i'll Surf.


 at Lake Bluff and Goes i'll Surf. N nen the nsss.tbors first observed Miss Stella THnnison in the rolling waves of Lake Michigan on the sandy beach at Lake Bluff they thought lit f1e of the occurrence. Even when close observers noticed a duck swimming around in close proximity to the young woman 1t was looked upon as coin eldenee. But when on other occasions t was observed that the young woman and the dHek took the water together, left at the same time and walked across the beach side bY side to t5e bathhouse, then the watchers knew they had something 10 talk about. Miss Punnison is perhaps the first society girl to make pet of a duck and go bathing in company with her quaeking friend. Other girls have taken in heir pet dogs on occasion, but duck for a swimming companion is certain iy an innovation. The fowl makes no attempt to swim far from it's mis- tress when they take their daily trip. It accompanies her solemnly across the sand to the waters edge and when she wades i'll with little screams over the chilliness Of the water the duck boldly breasts the waves and paddles around delightedly. While Miss Tun- nison is splashing i'll the shallow wa fer the duck remains near until she has finished her dip and then con- tentedly accompanies her to shore.

4 c .rnp,ieation of Relationsh,ps.

Justice Thomas McCann, of Lorain, Ohio within 24 hours joined in holy bands of Wedlock Joseph Hartman and his son, Adam to the two Bordee sis tefs, Katie and Gertie. An interesting complication of relationships thus arises. Of course, Gertie, who married the father, Joseph Hartman, will be both stepmother and sister-in-law to the son, Adam Hartman. Hence, if Adam and his wife have children Gertie will be grandmother to her nephews and nieces. but Katie, the son's wife, will be aunt to her father in-law's children, and Adam will have to be an uncle to his own half brothers and sisters. The children of the father will be aunts and uncles and cousins to the children of the son. The wife Of the father becomes her own sisters mother-in-law and father and son be- come brothers-in-law.

Is the Latest Innovation Proposed for
 Postofiee Boxes.


 Washington Times There is more than $400000 of the peoples money locked up in postoaiee keys, each and every keyholder being required to put up with the postmaster deposit for his key, the amount deposited being re- turned when the box is given up and rent paid. PostmasteHs are required to keep strict account of the key de- posit fund. while the postoffice depart ment here has q regular division set apart for keeping this account. As a postal official puts it, there is a great deal of, trouble and no money in the transactions, and the final outcome of the trial Of the keyless locks which are to be tried in the principal offices of the country is eagerly looked for. The department has long wanted key- less lock, but none of the lock inven- tions until the present was regarded as in any way calculated to prove ac- eeptable. Contracts have been made for supply of the new locks, which will first be tried in New York, Bos- ton, Philadelphia, Chicago and St. Louis. as the largest and most impor- tant offices, and then in St. Paul, Minn.; Cleveland, Ohio; Hartford, Conn; Madison, Wis, and Rockford, III. These offices will be fitted out as soon as the factory can complete the mak- ing of the boxes. If they prove in every way satisfactory to the department and to the patrons they will be placed in offices throughout the country, but not to the entire exclusion of the lock boxes. It is the belief of the postofice department that the keyless box will prove a blessing.

Whales teeth form the coinage of the Fiji islands They are painted white and red, the red teeth being worth about twenty times as much as the white. The native carries his wealth round his neck. the red and white of his coinage forming bril- liant contrast to his black skin. A common and curious sight in the Fiji islands is a newly married wife pre- senting her husband with dowry of whales teeth.

NATURAL TRAP.
Death Guich Captures or Asphyxiates
 Many Wild Animals.

Death guleh is small and gloomy ravine in the northeast corner of the Yellowstone national park, says Ap- pleton's Monthly. In this res .on the lavas which fill the ancient basin of the park rest upon the Hanks of noun tains formed of fragmentary volcanic ejecta, . while the hydrothermal forces of the central portion of the park show but feeble manifestation of their energy in the almost extinct hot spring areas of Soda Butte, Lamar river, Cache creek and Miller creek" Although hot water no longer flows from these vents, gaseous carnations are now given off in considerable yol
 un7e' "On Cache creek, about two lsIzes above it's confluence with Lamar river, are deposits of altered and crys
 talline traYertine, with pools in the creek violently efferyescing locally. This is due to the copious emission of gas. Above these deposits the creek cuts into bank of sulphur and gravel cemented by this material. and few yards beyond Is the debouchure of a small lateral gully coming down from the mountain side h it's bot la is q small stream of clear and cold water, sour with sulphuric acid and flowing down a narrow and steep ch, mel cut in beds of dark gray volcanic tuff As cending this guleh the sides, closing together, become very steep slopes of white, decomposing rock. The only springs now flowing are small oozes of water issuing from the base l of these slopes or from the channel bed, forming a thick, creamy, white deposit about the vents and covering the stream bed. This deposit consists largely of sulphate of arumina. .. About 150 feet above the main stream these oozing springs of acid water cease, but the channel of the guleh remains the same. The odor of sul- l phur now becomes stronger, though producing no other effect than slight irritation of the lungs. Climbing through this trough, a frightfully weird and dismal place, and occupied by only tiny streamlet and an ap- palling odor, we at length discovered some brown furry masses lying scat l tered about the floor of the raVine about quarter of mile from the i point where we left Cache creek. Ap- preaching cautiously, it became quick ly evident that we had before us a large group of huge, reeumbent bears. The one nearest to us was lying with his nose between his paws, facing us, and so exactly like a huge dog asleep that it did not seem possible that it was the sleep of death To make sure, l threw a pebble at the animal, strik
 ing him on the flank. The distended skin resoUnded like a drum head. and the only response was belch of poi l sonous gas that almost overwhelmed us Closer examination showed that the animal was q young silver tip grizzly (Ursus horribilis). 4 few drops of dark red blood stained his nostrils and the ground beneath. There proved to be five other caFcasses, all bears, i'll various stages of decay; careful search revealed oval areas of hair and bones that represented two other bears, mak
 ing total of eight careasses in all.
