Cattle in America.

In ar introduction to a recent bulle-
tin on American breeds of beef cattle
the broad statement is made that
prior to the discovery Of America
there were no cattle in the western
hemisphere. On one of his voyages
Columbus is said to have brought a
number of domestic animals with him.
The escape from captivity of some Of
the early importations of cattle was
the means of establishing the famous
native cattle herds Of the West Indies
and Mexico, and the long-horned herds
of Texas. The wild horses of the
plains were similarly founded.

and an hour appointed for trial the

Times. The stammerer arrived with
a huge sewer rat, which was thrown
onto the ground as the dog was re.

Doing Away with the Horse.
The disappearance of the horse is
actually taking place, although so
slowly as not to attract much atten-
ton. In Paris the number of horses
fell of about 6 per cent between 1901
and 1902. In London the decrease in
the same time was 10 per cent. In
Berlin, Vienna and st. Petersburg a
similar falling off is. shown by the
census Of horses. In New York it is
estimated that the number of horses
has decreased 80 per cent In the last

Not just What She Meant


A story that is now going the
rounds is laid to the door = Of q
piquant and dainty little French lady
who was more or less in evidence at
such places as were visited by the
Rochambeau embassy. The humor Of
the situation lies In the extreme Diff
fdenoe Of the French woman. She
is sensitive to the point Of double
nervousness, and, realizing the 1iabili-
ty to err in a foreign tongue, she was
generally careful to make selection Of
each individual word. Wherefore she
was but the more amusing one eve
ming, feeling moved to demonstrate
with gentleman upon the chilltness
of our northern May, she said: Freely,
eet ees SO cold here all re time Eat
I have sat all re day weeth by feet

to height Of five Or six feet, and
bears profusion of large, yellow flow
ers, so brilliant that they attract i'm

about the plant is the, fact that the
flowers, which open just before sun
