In 1747 Connecticut granted to Thomas
Darling the exclusive right to make glass

posts are set about sixty feet apart
and are thoroughly braced or stayed.
Those we used are about ten inches In
diameter in the smallest, and we ind
them none too large-in fact, larger
rather than smaller ones would be pre-
ferred. 1t is surprising what strain is
brought against these posts even by q
bull attached to the cable with his ring.
The cable is passed through the posts
about nine feet from the ground. At q
distance of about four feet from the
post 1t will be observed that an OK ring
is spliced into the wire. Our main OBJ
ject, however, in putting the rings In at
either end was to prevent the bull from
coming closer to the posts than Is safe.
If allowed too close, there is danger OF
his becoming entangled and then break
ing loose.
We use an iron pulley on the cable
similar to what is shown in the cut.
l have no doubt that there Is q great
deal in the proper training of bull for
such wire. 1 should not recommend
any one to put an old bull on such a
cable and expect the experiment TO De
entirely successful. because. though the
chances are favorable, 1t would not be
safe save in the case of a bull that Is
very easily managed, but If the bull is

keepers will be so thoroughly pleased
that they will use the wire for exercis-
ing altogether. If one desires to make
his own cable, he can do so just as
well as to buy it. would recon-
mend that seven or nine strands Of
No. 10 galvanized wire be used and be
twisted with considerable evenness SO
as to be smooth. Our cable is hand
twisted and is as satisfactory as though

Three Ante1opes at One Shot

One of the most remarkable shots ever
reported was made by the late DIR. }. b
WEIGH of Hudson, Mich.
Witch was hunting antelopes in Mon
tana, and was surprised one morning to
see herd of the animals appear upon a
ridge some 400 yards from camp. At the
first movement they scampered away
Welch ran to the top of the ridge and saw
that after going a short distance directly
from the camp the antelopes had turned
and were running so that their broadside
was exposed. They were nearly quar-
ter of mile away and WEIGH did not ex-
pect to hit when he opened on them with
his high power rifle.
His establishment may therefore be I'M
agined when. on seeing one drop and go
ing to the spot, he found three dead ante
lopes, each shot through the head. The
three had been running side by side, and
one bullock had potted the trio.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?
(RanS0nS Plaster Is Palms Masfar J

In the days of wild cat money in the
West, the Ames shovels were used as cur
rency. They were as stable as gold; their
price did not vary cent in twenty years.
The very name of Oliver Ames O. Son, was
a synonym for honesty. 1t was current all
over the world.
On the same principle Benson's Porous
Plaster is the universal standard external
remedy. To say tits ''good" plaster does
not describe it tits the best possible plaster.
For every disease in which an external rem
edy is available, Benson's Plaster is used
almost as matter of course.
Benson's Plaster quickly relieves and
cures where other modes of treatment are
either exasperatingly slow or have no good
effect whatever. Coughs, colds. Iumbago,
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back
ETC., are at once benefited and soon cured.
Capsicum, Strengthening and Belladonna
plasters have none of the curative virtues
of Benson's. More than 5000 physicians
and druggists have commended Benson's
Plaster as remedy in which the public
may have implicit confidence; while, in a
comparative test with other plasters, Ben
sons has received ftty.tUe highest GaOGrds.
Beware of substitutes and cheap limitations.
For sale by all druggists or we will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered in the
United States on receipt of Csc. each.

1t is an interesting fact that An
CORA goats are capable of withstanding
a great deal in the way Of drought,
says Samuel Dodds in Wool Markets
and Sheep. l am willing to put them
above any other animal against the dry
weather proposition. 1t is also prof
liable fact as well as interesting for
through this long dry time, lasting for
weeks and weeks, while all other stock
has suffered more or less for the want
of grass, my Angoras have gone serene
" on and waxed fat off the green
leaves and tender twigs Of the under
growth My goats have not had one
spear of grass since early in the spring,
and they can go on without 1t indef-
initely. They do not want it They
do not require it. At the same time
they do not despise 1t and will live on
it like sheep.
They have been in q woods pasture
of about 100 acres since last April, and
all they have had to eat is what they
have got from the wild growth and
the saplings cut for them. There is
not even a weed. They have subsisted
entirely on the leaves, tender twigs and
bark They are fat and In fine condi-
ton, and the does have raised a fine
crop Of kids and furnished an abun-
dance of milk for them. They are fast
clearing up the rough piece of land
that used to be an eyesore to me, and
/ will soon have fine pasture.
Danger of CrowdIng.
Quite a number have suffered con-
siderable loss by crowding their goats
into too close a room. 1t is advisable
always to have some kind of shelter
for them, but it is well to let them
have their own way about seeking 1t.
As q general thing they will stay out
doors, even If the weather is cold, and
IL they prefer to do so let them remain
out. If you will watch them closely,
Won will see them seek shelter from
rain. the same as chicken. and they
would naturally seek cover from cold
n their nature required it.

SURPRISED HUNTERS.
Some Lucky Shots That Have Beer
Made by SpOrtsmen.

Some Lucky Shots That Have Been
Made by SpOrtsmen.
A party of sportsmen in an Adirondack
camp were swapping campfire stories
when the conversation turned to lucky
shots.
One said his luckiest shot was made
! when he was hunting squirrels in Indi-
ana. He saw a fox squirrel and was
hoping to get a shot at it before he was
seen, but the squirrels eyes were sharp,
and it went into a hollow limb. In the
! hope of frightening it out he fired at the
4 limb. His gun was a rife with consider
able penetration and the hunter was inf
nitely surprised to see the squirrel tumble
out stone dead. His surprise was stupe-
flying when he picked up the squirrel and
| found that it had been shot through the
head as neatly as though Daniel Boone
or David Crockett had been behind the
gun with the squirrel in plain sight.
"My luckieSt shot was very much the
same" said the man who sat next to the
story teller. at was when l was a boy,
and / had been hunting squirrels all the
forenoon, but it was a cold. raw day and
none was out. The lunches of leaves
which they are accustomed to collect in
oak and hickory trees were to be seen
everywhere Finally l got to wondering
if the squirrels might not be hiding in
these. So | pulled up and sent charge
of shot into one. Out tumbled a fox
squirrel | thought had made a discov-
cry and pictured myself going home at
night squirrel laden. l went about the
woods shooting at similar lunches Of
leaves until my ammunition was used up,
but did not see another squirrel"
1.-THE luckiest shot | ever made" said
another member of the party, was at a
duck on one of the lakes of lower Louisi-
ana. / was in a boat with a party of To-
cal hunters. A duck few up, and l fired
when it was over fifty yards away. By
accident winged it. The boat approach
ed the wounded bird, which showed a de-
cided tendency to swim. Some one told
me to shoot it.
"Wait till we are close and I'll shoot
it's head off, | said.
81 meant that would shoot its head off
as it sat in the water. But as we APP
preached the bird arose to fly l was
surprised, and, to tell the truth, a little
ratified / pulled on the bird when it was
SO close that | told myself l would either
miss it entirely or blow it to pieces. l
was the most surprised man you ever saw
when the duck fell, for, by the merest
chance in the world, my charge had gone
true and had cut off the birds head as
neatly as one could do it with knife.
1.-THE men with me thought they had
discovered a wonderful being who delib-
erately shot the heads from flying ducks
l was hero for the rest of that day, but
when next day | missed half dozen
shots at snipe, without a single kill, my
glory faded."-New York Times.

Is the Neapolitan musical? | think
not; the repetition of two tunes without
seeking a change proves something, and
the raucous character of the Neapolitan
voice proves more. 1t is a subject for the
scientist, this matter of type of voice. Is
it food, climate or mode of use that af-
fects it? For example, Russia is the nat
ural home of the basso profundo, Spain
is the country of tenors, and has been
