animal industry. In this second pamphlet Mir. Thompson says:
 ''It is the purpose of this article to deal with the Angora goat only, and the effort is made to answer such questions as have been received by the bureau from all parts of the country. These answers are based upon the experiences of those who have raised them, some of whom have been In the business 40 years or more. Differ snceS of opinion are found to exist on sev- eral important points, where each con- teStant appears to occupy plausible prem ses: but this is not at all strange when the history of the Angora goat is consid- cred; for 1t Is not certain that all of the animals imported as purebreds were pure; indeed, it is held by some of our leading breeders that there is no longer in Turkey pr elsewhere any such thing as a pure bred Angora goat Besides, there has be en no general register for Angora stock in he United States until within a year or Wo and each breeder has been at liberty to judge points for himself If a general Angora register had been established 30 pr 4o years ago, the industry would new be conducted upon somewhat definite lines and most Of the questions now arising as 10 points in breeding would have been set lied.
 Because of this awakened interest there is an interest attached to the introduction and history of the in- iustry in this country.
 The history of the Angora goat in the United States has been marred oy the carelessness or indifference of occasional writers for the press who have been often inaccurate as to dates or facts, and also by others whose interests have doubtless led them into congregations. The real facts of its history in the United States, however, are so few and SO simple as to prompt that venerable breeder, William NJ. Landrum, to say that they would make but very small book. & @ .
 During the administration of Pres dent Polk, the sultan of Turkey re- luested of him that he recommend some one who would experiment in the culture of cotton in Turkey. Ac- cordingly, Dr. James B. Davis, of Co., lunbia, $. C., was recommended, and he received the appointment. The work done by Dr. Dafis appeared to be highly gratifying to the sultan, and so, upon his return, in 1894, the sultan, desiring to reciprocate the courtesy Of the president, presented him wIrh nine of the choicest goats LII Ills oouLulOH. Sol IAlcndTd foIoTS. writing in 1876, says of these ami nals: "These doubtless were selected from the herds of Angora, a district of country lying among the Taurus mountains, which traverse Asiatic Turkey, and which derives its name from its principal city, situated about 200 miles east of Constantnople."
 Of the nine Angoras imported by Dr. Davis, seven were does and two were bucks. Besides these, according to Colonel Peters, there came in the same lot one purebred Tibet doe, several head of crosses between the Angora and the Tibet goats, and quite number of grade does bred from the common short-haired ewes of the country and his Angora bucks.
 Dr. Davis, not being familiar with goats, thought these were the famous

The birthdays of our heroes and our ex-presidents, when they become na- l tional holiday, are quite a boon to the theaters in New York, for it is an i'm possibility to secure q seat at either the matinee or evening performance. Washington's birthday yesterday af- forded managers a chance to get an other matinee performance, which swells the box office receipts to a vast extent. Now, if we could have holi days for Grants birthday and a few other famous men, from a theatrical standpoint, it would be a boon indeed. Fl:

to New York one day recently with
his wife and his deaf mother-tn4aw
He sat beside the latter, and, as the
train rolled along he leaned forward
and said to his better half: There's
