Silver SpangIed Tlamburgs

popular Of all the Ham burg
breeds. The peculiar feather
markings of these birds always
attract attention, and their gem
eral hardness and egg producing
qualities recommend them to
the utility as wellas to the fancy
pouitryman.
Every feather on neck breast,
body, wings, back and tail has a
white body or ground work and
the ends tipped with the purest
black. The white is of that
beautiful snowy Wilderness and
the black is that of thea purest
ebony black and when the birds
are nice and clean, and it is rare
TO see them otherwise, they make
a very attractive appearance.
The cocks at full maturity
weigh 5 to 5A pounds and the
hens usually about 81 to 3A
pounds each. We have seen
heavier but that is fair aver
age.
Their carriage in both sexes
is very dignifed and proud.
The head is carried we'll up,
giving the plump, meaty breasts
a very prominent appearance.
The males are exceedingly proud
and take full control of the fe-
males. Often the hens won't
eat anything thrown to them un-
til the head of the house has ex-
amined it and given his consent.
They are extremely gallant and
industrious. The hens never
brood or even get broody only in
rare cases.
The feet and legs are neat and
trim, ornamented with strong,
firm white nails. The skin of
legs and feet is pigeon blue
unless the bird is old and then it
is white. The beak or "bill" is
set firmly on the head and is
slightly drab in color and is
streaked with black, the nostrils
are large, hence they have abun-
dance of room for breathing.
The combs are of most fiery
red, also the wattles. The ear
lobes are slightly drab, giving
them a greenish blue tinge.
The eyes are large, dark aut
expressive. Reverting to the
comb; it is square, low and wide
lending in a spike which turns VI
at the end. Such a comb il
known as the ''Rose comb" kind
1t fits snagly and tightly to tn
head and renders them almos
frost proof. Occasionally tn
long spikes and the little spike
in the body of the comb will ge
"burnt" but not often. Th,
skull is deep and wide giving
room for a large brain, which
accounts for their superior intel
ligence.
The neck is of medium length

The feathers are wide and the

and gracefully curve over the
other feathers and drop about on
a line with the middle of the
body, and each one bears the
usual black spangle.

STATUS OF THE YACHT RACES.

The newspapers are filed with dis
cussions these days over the series of
yacht races being run between the Co
Iumbia and Shamrock II. A good deal
of pseudo enthusiasm is worked up in
many quarters and the event is refer
red to as an incident of the greatest in
terest to two nations. Aside from the
fact that the Columbia is owned by a
club composed of New York million
aires and snobs and that the Shamrock
II. is owned by Sir Thomas Upton, a
British subject, there is nothing to
Justify any national feeling over the re-
suit. The local New York club which
owns the Columbia are, perhaps, as a
whole, about as far removed from the
simple ideas and principles of the orig
inal American democracy as it would
be possible to conceive of, while Sir
Thomas Upton is one of the most dem
ocratic of monarchists. If the true
American spirit is to be sought for IN
either of the parties to the yacht con-
test, we dare say that the searching
party would come nearer to finding it
on board the Shamrock than he would
if he went to look for it IN the excIu-
sive New York club, where wealth
rather than character is the passport.

whors the Piano Get I.s start.

Just 200 years ago there lived, at
h court OF Prince Ferdinand de Med
lei, a Paduan harpsichord maker, by
name Bertoliomeo C~hristoferi, a mar
OF great inventive genius. After In
Vulnerable experiments he solved the
problem, a long standing puzzle to the
musical instrument makers of the Pc
Rod, how to make a satisfactorily
working keyed psaltery," and by the
method he invented of overcoming the
difficulties inherent to the task, pro-
duced an instrument which was the
undoubted ancestor Of the pianoforte
of today. For the piano is, in essen
tial, says a writer in the Universal
Magazine, a dulcimer with a fitted key
board; 1t is not simply a modification
board; it is not simply a modification
of the old harpsichord. The latter, 1t
is true, did possess a keyboard, but
the depression of its keys caused a
''piucking," harp-like action on the
strings and not the striking of a ham
.mer, with controlled rebound, the Pc
culiar character of the newer instru-
ment. From 1709-the date when
Christoferi made his four keyed
psalteries"-the piano, at first slowly,
but afterward by leaps and bounds.
went on increasing and increasing in
popularity, until now ITS manufacture

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
LATEST Quotations From South Omaha
and Kansas City.
SOUTH OMAHA.

~
C~attle-Cattle receipts continued liberal
making the receipts for the week to date
compare favorably with last week, and
also with the same period of last year.
The demand for the better grades was
active, so that the market was brisk
and no important changes in prices were
noted. There were about twenty-five cars
OF corn-fed steers in the yards, and the
quality OF the offerings as a whole was
good. Receipts included about fifty cars
OF cows and heifers. The demand was a
little more active on the better grades
than 1t was yesterday and the market
could be quoted steady. Bulls. veal
calves and stays sold without material
change from yesterdays quotations.
There were not many desirable grades
of stockers and feeders on sale, so that
anything answering to that description
was picked up in good season at STEADY
prices. The demand for the common KINDS
was limited, the same as 1t has been for
some time past, and sellers had consid-
cradle difficulty in disposing Of that class
Of cattle. There was an active demand
for western range beef steers and as a
result the fifteen cars offered sold at
good. strong prices.
Hogs-Receipts of hogs were fairly nd
eral. making the supply for the four
days of this week considerably in excess
of both the corresponding days of last
week and the same avs of last year
The market at this point opened UP In
good season. with prices a good nickel
higher than yesterdays average market.
AS the morning advanced the market took
on more life and prices grew stronger at
a rapid rate. At the close an advance
of 71s010c over yesterdays average was
noted. The early sales were mostly at
$5.65. Later on the bulk sold at $5.6712
and on the close $5.671s and $50 were the
popular prices.
Sheep@There were quite a few sheep
and lambs on sale. but nearly everything
offered was feeders. There were a few
cars, however. of native corn-feds, which
sold al good. steady prices. Packer seem
to be anxious for supplies here. but they
claim that prices are too high in COM
parison with other points. The feeder
market was not very brisk. as the num-
Der of buyers was rather limited. Some
of the better grades sold at just about
steady prices. but aside from those the
market was dull and weak. Old ewes in
particular are hard to move, and prices
are now considerably lower than they
been in some time past.

IT. Jacobs Oil for Chost-CoIds, Bron-
chltIs, Group and PleurIsy.

An outward application for bron-
chial difficulties is many times far
o effective than syrups, cough mix
ture, cod liver oil, &C., simply because
1t penetrates through to the direct
cause, which is, as a rule, an accumu-
lation of matter or growth tightly adj
hered to the bronchial tubes.
St. Jacobs Oil, possessing as 1t does
those wonderful penetrating powers,
enables 1t to loosen these adhesions
and to induce free expectoration. Cases
have been known where expectorations
have been examined after st. Jacobs
Oil has been applied, and the exact
formation was clearly shown, where
pulled off the bronchial tubes. All ir-
ritation of the delicate mucous mem
brane of the bronchB is quickly re-
moved by the healing and soothing
properties of st. Jacobs Oil. In cases
of croop and whooping cough in chill
dren st. Jacobs Oil will be found SUI
perior to any other remedy.
st. Jacobs Oil is for sale throughout
the world. 1t is clean to use-not at
all greasy or oily, as its name might
imply. For rheumatism, govt, sciatica,
neuralgia, cramp, pleurisy, lumbago,
sore throat, bronchitis, soreness, stiff
ness, bruises, toothache, headache,
backache, feetache, pains in the chest,
pains in the back, pains in the Shout
ders, pains in the limbs, and all bodily
aches and pains it has no equal. 1t
acts like magic. Safe, sure, and
falling.

Silver Chains in STYLE.

Silver is once more in vogue for

trix turquoises are also seen. But
the most popular is, of course, the
