HUNGARIAN Cattle,

The animals are bred on ranges tpusz-
tai and are really quite wild, the cows
hiding their offspring for five or six
weeks, in the woods, among bushes or in
some secluded spot. The young calf is
of a fawn color at first, but gradually
changes to a gray, creamy color and
finally TO the shaded white peculiar TO the
race. As on these ranges fences are un-
known, each herd is attended by the gull
vas, or herdsmen, who are mounted, like
the cowboys on American ranches, and as
the cattle are practically wild 1t is not
safe, when the gulyas are absent, for
stranger to approach them.
For hardihood, speed, strength and en-
duranee the Hungarian cattle are I'M
doubleday unrivaled. and they can sub
sist and work on worse quality OF food
than any other race OF cattle in Europe.
Their sole food, being the natural pasture
or herbage. they find on these ranges, ex-
cept in winter, when they get hay. The
breeding animals at this season have
grain given to them, but they alone get
il. From living in this free, feral state
they are taken, in fact practically cap
tured, and in time broken in to work and
to bear the yoke.-Good Words.

TO INDICT GOV. TAYLOR.
He and Other Republican Official Will

While nothing was said by Judge Can't

Franklin, will recommend the bringing
in of indictments against Republican
Governor Taylor and all of the other Re-
publican state officers ON the charge of

and unlawful retention of the offices in

The JoIo Spear Market.

The spear market is the most fascinat-
Ing diversion in Jolo. 1t is situated just
outside the main gate, and from early
morning until the gates are closed late in
the afternoon the market is thronged
with natives who have come in to sell
their knives and spears. When ship
comes in, their prices go up, but when
the ship has gone the market says a great
deal.
Some OF the curiously shaped knives
are wonderful in their elegance and work
manship, for the finer ones have silver
and gold and ivory handles, while the
blades are beautifully damascened.
There are two shapes of knives com
mon to the Moros of Sulu. One Is the
serpent shaped kris and the other the
broad, heavy cleaver, like barong,
Once in awhile little serpent dagger
with the handle at right angles to the
blade, like the handle of q pistol, is
brought in by n native. This knife is n
weapon of the Celebes islands and is very
uncommon in Sulu. Another uncommon
knife is the great campilan, which has a
hand grip for two hands and is gorgeous
ly decorated with bells and colored horse
hair and gay ribbons.-Cor. Chicago Rec

Lady Salisbury concerning his feeling at
Waterloo when the guards withstood the
famous charge: 1T is very singular, but
i have no recollection of any feeling Of

To Lady Salisbury's suggestion that he
must feel 'how infinitely be had raised
his name above every other" he answer
ed: perhaps there is no man now exist

of battle. In that line l am superior.

A Tea Party In Darkness.

There is a tradition to the effect that
when domestic lighting by gas was still
a novelty Sir Walter Scott introduced it
into every room and staircase Of the
house that he was building at Abbots-
ford and did so without provision for any
unexpected failure. His entering into
possession was made the occasion for a
house warming on scale OF considerable
magnitude, and in the very middle Of the
festivities all the lights suddenly went
out. The guests were left In absolute
darkness until such time as mounted mes
sengers could return from Melrose, with
err they had been dispatched with instruc-
tons to collect all the tallow candles and
tin sconces or candlesticks which the VIII
lage contained.-London Times.
