Distressing old and young.

And bangs viii not stay bung.

very few minutes Gen. Gomez learned
more about the correct wearing Of
sashes and the proper way to hang

The Congregationalist goes so far as

On July 1 ten boys and a man we've
killed by lightning under a pier, where
they had fed from the rain In Chicago
On July 4 a man and his wife and three
children were killed by lightning at
McKeespOrt, after having taken shelter
under a tree. Science and experience
both say emphatically that whea
caught out in a thunder storm the
safest place is in the open.

According TO late reports the Buddhist
priests in China often make use Of hypz
notism-at which they are adepts-to
incite the masses against the "fOreign
devils" Their method was to hypuOtize
young boys and then leave them in the
streets at night When a sufficient
crowd had gathered the next morning
about the bodies the priests appeared
and pointed to the insensible boys as
proof Of the evil dOings of the foreign
ers. When the mob was sufficiently
excited the priests would bring the
boys out of their hynOtic state and
thus convince the bystanders of the
superior power of the Buddists over
evil.
Iimberger cheese laid away in cup
boards and refrigerators viii drive
away the rats. There is no doubt of it,
says an exchange. 1t will drive the
dogs out of the lanyard; it viii drive a
mule through barb wire fence; it will
drive a herd of cattle over a precipice;
it will drive a tramp from a meal Of
victuals: il will drive a negro away
from a henrOOst or a man into insanity
who stays ten minutes within five feet
of its UnsavOry presence; yes, sir, 1t
will drive away aunts and uncles, and
if we had any cousins that it would
not drive away we would be tempted
TO disown them. And yet men sit down
and profess to like it.
Agents of the German government
are securing Arizona for horses for
use in the army. Several days ago they
closed a deal with ranches in the
northern and central parts Of the ter
ritOry for several hundred head, and
will buy as many more. The Arizona
range horse Is peculiarly adaptad to
hard campaigning. The stock comes
of excellent blood. Indeed Of such
quality is the Arizona horse that
United States army buyers prefer him
when he can be secured, to the pro-
duct of any other region. The heavy
demand, however, of the past three
years has drawn heavily on the Ari-
iona horse ranges, and prices have
risen. Army buyers are paying from
SO to $50 and getting horses from
three TO five years old.
The Galena Republican relates this
yarn on Frank Anderson, a we'll known
commercial traveller who made Galena.
He was very fond of honey, and the
proprietor of the Galena hotel at
which he always stopped seldom failed
to have some on hand. On one trip
Anderson took his wife along, and as
they approached Galena he mentioned
TO her that he was getting to a place
where he cOuld have honey. But at
the supper table that night no honey
appeared When the waiter came for
their order, Anderson said sharply:
where's nv honey?" The waiter
smiled and replied: "YOu mean the
little black haired one? o, she don't
work here now" And, according to
the Republican, Anderson never did
get it fixed up satisfactorily with his
wife.
Leading authorities say that IN 1900
we had in this country 100000 less
cattle than in 1892, and that IA that
time our population has increased over
100000. La 1892 we were considered
TO have S26 head Of cattle to every 1000
Of population, while in 1900 we got
down TO So TO every 1000 of our pOpu-
lation, losing on an average during
those eight years 100000, 50 that If
we are Ouly TO maintain our present
ratio we mist be able to show an an
nual increase Of about 100000 cattle.
This aspect of the situation appeals

gives the real explanation why men Of
great wealth are now eagerly embark
ing in the cattle business, both as
breeders Of pure bred cattle and in
safe concerns on the range.
