Where Cowboys Come From.

In other days the COWBOYS in the
southwest were a Heterogeneous lot
from all over the country. Half of
them We're cowboys merely for the l.fe
OF freedom and comparative lawless-
ness the vocation permitted. The ad-
venturous and risky character of a
life on the plains led a great many sons
of fine families to leave eastern homes
and come out on the border of civiliza-
ton. But nowadays the cattle owners
have been driven by keen competition
TO exercise as much care in the hiring
of cowboys to handle a $4,000 or
100000 herd of cattle as Il railroad
company exercises in its choice of en-
ployes. Cowboys are now divided in
TO classes, those recruited from Texas
and the Indian Territory, known as
Texans, and those recruited from the
MeXicans. The former are more trust
worthy, more mindful of the condition
of the herds and more sagacious in
time OF cattle stampedes The latter
are wonderful riders; have greater en-
durance and have keen intuitive to-
biographical knowledge. The Mexicans
are considered more to the manner
born than the Texans, but they are
harder drinkers and are cruel with the
cattle. In roundup the Mexican cow
boys are wonderfully expert in track
ing cattle among foothills, ravines and
gulches and over mountain ranges.
Some cattle companies employ an equal
number of Texans and Mexicans in
their gangs of cow-punchers, but there
generally exists deep enmity between
the two.

Manners for Young Men.

Familiarity with the prevailing
standards of etiquette gives a young
man a distinct advantage, and he who
is sure that he knows is at ease and
conforms automatically to social re-
quirements. None can be perfect in
department who has to stop to con-
slider how things ought to be done. II
a man be a gentleman at heart the
outward polish is easily acquired-be-
tween manners and morals the tie is
intimate. A true gentleman is simple,
unpretending, natural. He is cour-
teous and considerate, and has the
personal dignity that comes of self
respect, not self-consciousness. He
treats every woman as a lady, speaks
well of others and recognizes hospital
ity as mutual obligation.-Oc October

NATHAN ROTHScHlLD'S WAY.
How Vast Fortune Was Made in Gov.
ernInent Funds.

ernInent Funds.
The vast fortune of Nathan Meyer
Rothschild was made in the purchase
of government funds. In his day
there were neither railroads nor tele-
graphs, and news travelled slowly. But
he kept and personally superinteni ID
the finest flock of carrier pigeons the
world ever knew. which brought h!m
early information of the movements
of continental armies in whose wakes
his active agents followed. Every piece
of advance news which he obtained in
this way brought him the gain of thou
sands of pounds sterling at the stock
exchange, the manipulation Of which
he had mastered to an uneXampled de-
gree. He did not wait on the govern
ment, but made the government =
on him, and the ministry at last be-
came his debtor.
When Napoleon returned from Elba
Mr.. Rothschild's anxiety for the pc
cuniary prospects of his house led him
to Belgium, where he followed events,
moving in the wake of the army under
Wellington. He even ventured on the
edge of the battle of Waterloo, so eager
was he to CLEAN the latest intelligence,
and witnessed the defeat of tIte French
from the high ground in front of the
chateau of Hougoumont. AS soon as
the battle was decided he rode rs fast

at daybreak on June 10. The sea was
rough, but he hired brave fisherman

In Dover harbor.
POSTING on to London, sleeping in
his chaise, he reached the city early
on the 10th, and at 10 o'clock was
leaning against his accustomed pillar
at the stock exchange. He looked
solemn and anxious and whispered to
some of his acquaintances n rumor
that Marshal Blucher and Wellington
mad suffered defeat, and that Napole-
ON was master of the field and of the
day. The news spread. Down went
the government securities. Roths-
childs known agents sold along with
the rest, but his unknown and secret
agents bought still more largely, pick
ing up every bit of paper they could
lay hands on till the following day.
On the afternoon of that day-the DIST
the real news reached London. Ma.
than Rothschild was the first to in
form his friends on the stock exchange
Oh the happy events. Governments
rose as fast as they had fallen, and no
sooner were the official returns of the
battle made known to the world than
1t was found that the house of Roths-
chlld had netted 100000 pounds
sterling by the transaction. The
monetary dynasty of the family was
from that hour secure.-New York

Years ago bill entitled "An Act for

the New York House of Assembly.
The speaker of the house, who was
not especially interested in matters of

A Chapter on |eEetabies.
Potatoes came from far Virginia;
Parsley was sent us from Sardinia;
French beans, low growing on the
earth
TO distant India trace their birth;
But scarlet runners, gay and tall,
That climb upon your garden wall
cheerful sight to all around
In South America were found.
The onion travelled here from Spain;
Inc leek from Switzerland we gain,
Garlic from Sicily obtain,
Spinach in far Syria grows;
Two hundred years ago or more
Brazil the artichoke sent DER,
And Southern Europe's sea coast
shore
Beet root on us bestows.
When 'Lizabeth was reigning here,
Peas came from Holland and were
dear
The South of Europe lays its claim
To beans, but some from Egypt came.
The radishes, both thin and stout,
Natives of China are, no doubt,
But turnips, carrots and sea kale,
With celery SO crisp and pale,
Are products of our own fair land,
And cabbages, a goodly tribe,
Which ADLER pens might we'll describe,
Are also ours, understand.

takes away one plaything and delusion

After heavy showers there are al
ways hollow ponds left in low mead
ows and in the marshes near the riv-
ers-ponds not deep enough to drown
one, but deep enough to sail raft
upon. For this sport, dear to the
heart of the average boy, a home made
raft is described in the Chicago Rec
ord by writer, who knows just how
for he helped to make one like it, and
played pirate upon it until the ponds
dried up under the scorching summer
sun. This is how it is described: Go
ing to the woods near the swamp we
cut down with an ak enough tamarack
trees to furnish us with seven straight
logs one foot III diameter and eighteen
feet long, Next we cleared a level
space eight feet wide and twenty feet
long, and laid across it four poles
about four feet apart. Across these
poles and in the center lengthwise
of the clear space we rolled the best
one Of the logs, which was to be the
center of the bed of the raft. With
the center log in position we hewed
its forward end to a point. Next
we selected two logs that would lie
close to each side of the center one,
rolled them into place and hewed
them off enough to give the proper
slope to the prov. Next we rolled two
more logs into POSITION to fit close to
the logs Just placed. These were

One day, while in England mamma,
papa, and Annie went to the ZOO" to
see the animals. They saw the ducks
and swans sailing about in the ponds,
watched the monkeys and then follow
ed the crowd that pressed about to
see the animals fed. Some of the
lions, tigers and bears were hungry,
and gnawed at the huge pieces of red,
raw meat savagely; others just shifted
at them, and one poor bear, who had
worn track in his cage, kept on
still turning around and around, and
around, and for him Annie felt very
sorry. After this they saw the camels
kneeling down to rest, and then they
came to Jumbo, the biggest elephant
ever known. Ever so many little boys
and girls were having ride on his
back, and papa asked Annie if she
would like ride, too. Annie thought
she would, and so when Jumbo
stopped to let down one set of boys
and girls and to take up another, papa
helped Annie up the ladder and the
keeper gave her a seat on something
like double bench, with boys and
girls on each side, sitting back to
back. Then papa stood with his hands
in his pockets to see them start off,
and mamma sat down on a bench to
watch them, too. Mamma felt very
brave until Jumbo came quite near,
swinging his long trunk. She grew
anxious and wished that Annie had

when Annie and mamma had sponge
cake, Bath buns, and a glass of milk,
they went back to Putney, where their
home was. Not many weeks after
this, papa, mamma and Annie came in
big ship to America from London,
and little after Jumbo came over in
another big ship from London to New
York. One day in New York, papa
and Annie went to Barnum's to see
the circus and what should they see
there but dear old Jumbo, looking
even bigger than ever. Annie said,
