CORN CROP TO BLAME

It has finally dawned on the minds Of
Wichita packers that the farmers are
gong to keep their hogs for the pres
ent. They have come 10 the conclusion
after diugent enquiry that the promis-
ing corn crop is to blame for the light hog
receipts. People in The city talk about the
hot weather on the business streets and
teh danger Of hot winds. but the farmer
has seen his corn tassel and silk and
nally develop into hard roasting ears;
and he simply smiles and holds onto his
hogs Instead Of sending them to mar
ket Weighing 10 to $50 pounds, he viii
feed them on new corn until they weigh
over 800 pounds. There are no hogs be-
ing slapped out and while Cudahy ex-
poets to buy all that come. he does not
hope TO get more hogs for the month
OF August than is absolutely necessary
to supply the fresh meat trade Whether
ii is hot or cold, people demand spare
ribs, tenderloin and pork chops, and this
trade must be supplied. Hogs are not
coming here and they are not being run
past past this market The farmers are
not selling them now There was less
than a carload of hogs on the market
yesterday and no more on Friday.

NATURAL HISTORY.

All animals ruminate which have
horns and cloven feet.
The offspring of two rabbits might
in ten years number 100000.
Flying fish have been known to jump
ten feet above the surface of the sea.
The putin is the most punctual of
birds in the matter Of it's annual migra-
ton.
The moose deer has the largest horns
Of any animal. They often weigh from
fifty to sixty pounds.
The boa and python have the largest
number of ribs of any animals, the
number being 800 pairs.
Some few birds, notably the blue
throat, accomplish the whole of their
migratory journey in one stupendous
effort
The reindeer can endure more than
any other draft animal except the
camel. A reindeer has been known to
pull 200 pounds at ten miles an hour
for twelve hours.

Real Sea SerDenfs.

In New Caledonia sea serpents are
frequently seen and sometimes cap
tured. They are curious creatures. the
head being very small and scarcely
distinguishable from the body and the
tail being formed like an oar. In length
they are generally between three and
four feet
In the jaw there are tiny glands con-
tanning poison; but, as the mouth is
very small, it is difficult for them to
bite, and the natives handle them fear
lessly.
NJ. Kermogant, European traveller,
witnessed an experiment at Noumea
which shows that under certain condi-
tons the sea serpent can do deadly
work. A rat was caught in q trap,
and it's tongue was grasped by pair
of pinchers and placed in the mouth of
sea serpent. The serpent immedi-
ately bit it, and the rat died in four
minutes.

Her BLESSINGS.

When man begins to count his
blessings, he can generally find plenty
to be thankful for, although sometimes
he may include things which might
net be regarded by other people as al
together joyous.
I'm thinking about the wonderful
progress the world has made and how
much we've got to be thankful for"
said Mrs. Matthews, rocking in her old
stuffed chair, with pair of knitting
needles in her hands and a placid smile
on her face.
cit is wonderful" admitted her niece.
"Seems as if everything turned to
good. There's lightning, now. If it
hadn't been for that, | never should
have had those fine rods on the house
and barn that make me feel so safe in
a thunderstorm. And there's smallpox.
If it hadn't been for that, we never
should have known the blessings Of
vaccination, and if there hadn't been
nearsighted folks nobody would have
thought to invent magnifying glasses
and specs. I declare, there's sight of

Secondhand Book Habit.

One of the novel habits of the pres
ent day is one that takes one to second
hand bookstores, says the Philadelphia
North American. Dealers in dissipated
libraries call it APPLY enough the ''sec-
Ondhand book habit"
A clerk whose duty it is to. stand at
the front of the secondhand bookstore
and watch out for possible purchasers
is the one who first made note of this
queer habit. He noticed that the same
men and women were wont to stop and
cursorily inspect the same dusty vol
umes day after day, year in and year
out. They come every day-the same
old faces-and they look over the same
old books, and they never say any
thing, and they never buy anything,
and after awhile, when their time is
up, they go away as silently as they
came,

Frank Census Returns.

British census returns are more in
formative than diverting, but the same
cannot be said of the Indian. The Pun
jab returns include professional crick-
eters under the heading of Clowns
and Tumblers," regarding them appar-
entity in the same light as Mr.. Kipling.
The Chenab has forty-six male, seven
female and sixty-seven dependent"
piano tuners, and the inland state Of
Nahan rejoices in the possession of 205
shipowners. In the schedule also ap-
pear 1T receivers of stolen goods"
and 1875 witches, wizards, cow poison
erS, ETC." There is q frankness about
these returns which is very enga ging.-

Deafness Cannot be cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever,
nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an infamed
condition of tie mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

Character In the Ears.

Though there may be counteracting
features and signs upon the face, ears
that are disproportionately large, fat
and red bespeak a coarseness of ma
ture, sometimes sensuality and dissipa-
ton.
Ears that stand out from the head
like flaps are often seen on religious
men, but parsimony is apt to go with
them.
A long shaped but small ear lying
close to the head denotes refinement,
delicacy or perception, but also timidity
and sensitiveness. A thin, transparent
looking ear shows delicacy and poetic
feeling; thick ear, the reverse. An
ear set rather low on the head denotes
good brain capacity; set high or on a
level with the eye, a limited mental ca
pacity is denoted.-American Queen.
