j. Van Cleve, will make
the season of 1900 at the
Pines stock Farm, 3 miles
West Of Paducah, KY, at
the very low rate Of $500
to insure.
Black Alcyone has three
es SIC n tial qualifications,
every one of which it takes
to make a successful sire.
He is a race horse by in
heritance, race horse by
performance, and is the sire
of race horses
His colts, like their sire,
have very fine style and ac-
ton. and that's the kind
that brings the fancy prices.
| am prepared to keep
mares from a distance at 81

per week on grass. For

Throckmorton.

Capt. Throckmorton, for two
months acting commissioner of ag-
riculture, is still sending out
monthly reports of the crops, al
though he has been out of office a
month or more. The Captain
should acknowledge the "corn.
He is evidently feeling his "oats
and is waiting and hoping that
something will ''turnip' in this
"wheat' bye-and-bye. There is
something really plaintiye in this
melancholy close to his report:
.'Feed is scarce, pastures are in
poor condition, and how to keep the
lambs in a thrifty condition till the
grazing season is a serious cues
ton now with flock owners.

INDIAN MAoIcIANs NOT CLEVER
Their Tricks Are Old and Surpassed by
Many Europeans.

From Harpers Magazine: The In
They offer no new tricks and no Won
derful ones. Their eounterparts IN
China are many times more deft, au-
dacious and original. The tricks or
causing mango tree to grow in the
presence Of a crowd is the most vaunt-
ed thing the Indians do, and that
failed to see, though it is practiced by
many of these yagabonds. Several per.
sons who have witnessed it told US
that it is worked beneath cloth Or
sack and that it seems as if it might
easily be done by drawing small
young plant from the performers
clothing and setting it up in the dirt
under the covering. The so-called tree
is usually but few inehes-at the
most a foot-in height. However.
against the reports of such skepties
We must weigh the testimony of many
famous travellers. Nearly all the
coniurers we saw were also snake
Fhafmers. Their work with serpents
IS extremely interesting, even after one
learns how harmless are their snakes.
The reptiles are carried in baskets and
bags and are of all sizes. The
cobras are best worth watching.
Usually mongoose is put out to fight
3. cobra, but the ferretlike animal is
not only spiritless, but remains so. l
never saw or heard of anything come
from such a combat except once, at
Delhi, when the eonjurer was not look
ing and large serpent killed and half
swallowed the mongoose. And the
most interesting thing about that was
the noise of the owners lamentation
flow Paul Kruger Got Religion.
Paul Kruger is now one Of the most
religious of men. He was brought up
in pious Dutch family and was never
a bad boy but it is said that thirty
years ago, when Kruger was a young
married man, he got religion. in
most striking and characteristic way.
One day he handed an open Bible to
his wife and asked her to read several
chapters which he had marked While
she was reading he left the house. For
several days he was missing and finally
party of friends went out to look for
him. They came back without trace Of
the missing man, only reporting that
they had heard some one singing far
off on the mountains. A day or two
later another searching party won't out.
This time tdey found Kruger i'll a con-
dition of almost complete exhaustion,
having gone entirely without food or
water during his absenee.He had gone
up into the hills to wrestle with him

The Burlington Clipper says:

"Without the blare of trumpets
or the beat of the tom-tom, the cam
vass of Hon. Frank Plumlcy of
Mortified for congressman moves
on apace and with vigor.'
The canvass of Hon Frank Plum
lev of Mortified has been moving
on apace for several years; it is
nothing new and there is no special
call for brass band now. And the
canvass of lot of other candidates
is also moving on apace-just at
present there seems to be nothing
else doing in Vermont worthy of
note. AS soon as the present cam
paign is ended-a long look ahead
another campaign begins, and SO on
year in and year out. 1t appears to
be the sole aim and object in the lite
of majority of the citizens of the
Green Mountain state to talk about
and worry over the question as to
who shall be the next governor,
though occasionally this question is
temporarily overshadowed by other
passing political contests.

The most savage specimen of the
crab species Is found in Japan. seeming
to dream Of nothing but Nightingale
delight In nothing half SO much. The
minute he spies another Of his kind he
scrapes his claws together In rage.
challenging him to the combat Not a
moment Is wasted in preliminaries. but
at 1t they 60. hammer and tongs. 1t
sounds like two rocks grinding against
one another as their claws rattle
against the hard shells. The sand flies
as the warriors push each other hither
and thither until ut last one Of them
stretches himself out in the sun, tired
to death.
But he does not beg for mercy or at
tempt to run away, only feebly rubbing
his claws together in defiance Of the
foe. That foe comes closer, and, with
his claws trembling with Joy at his vic
tory, the conqueror catches hold Of one
claw Of the vanquished crab, twists 1t
until it comes off, and bears away the
FACILITATING limb as trophy of his
prowess. Such Is battle between
warrior crabs.
