Condition of other Markets.

P UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS,
July 7.-Cattle-Receipts, $50; shipments,
200 For the week thus far there is very
little change TO note in the marketing OF
cattle compared with the same time last
week, and a decrease of nearly 800 COM
pared with the corresponding time a year
ago. The receipts to-day were fully twice
as large as a week ago and $50 smaller than
year ago. There is a continued scarcity
of choice stock, but in nearly every depart
ment there were a few to-day good enough
to bring higher price than yesterday
On account OF the scarcity of choice cows
and heifers there seems TO be stronger
competition for them than for any other
grades, but there was no general improve
ment in prices over yesterday. Steer cat
tie of all kinds did not sell promptly, and
in fact IL was very difficult to find an out
let for the less desirable sort at any price

cattle under strictly top kinds, and they
advising their customers to be very
careful in selecting all kinds. Steers sold
high $3.50. and the top price for COWS

the Carnaryon yew one of its topmost
branches.
Besides these. there are four other
cases Of deaths among the earls Of
Carnarvon that are said to have been
coincident with the falling Of
branches from the Carnaryon yew, but
they are neither such well authenti-
Gated nor such striking cases as the
three recounted here.
These three may have been mere
chance medley, perhaps they might all
be proved, on careful scientific investi.
cation, to have not leg to stand on:
but the fact remains that the Carnar-
Won yew in Briefly Park has all its
limbs held up with iron chains and
cables, and it was SO intelligent man
as the late earl-the translator Of the
Odyssey" the creator of the Dominion
of Canada-who put these chains and
cables there.

His name was Henry Howard Molly
ieux Herbert. He was born in 1881.
ind he died in 1890. Educated at Elton
and at Oxford, he entered the House
II Lords on attaining his majority,
ind he was under secretary of state
or the colonies from 1857 to 1859. sec
'etary of state from 1866 to 1867 and
rom 1874 to 1873, and lord lieutenant
If Ireland from 1885 to 1887. He made
admirable translations of the Aga
nemnon" of Aeschylus and of the
Odyssey" OF Homer; he edited the
Letters of Lord Chesterfield" (his an
:estor), and he was the author of a
lumber of brilliant essays on histori-
al subjects.
Such a man as this, 1t is evident,
nust have put great deal of faith in
superstition before he would so far
ield to 1t as to chain up the limbs of

which made this superstition seem

i've tells briefly:

Some Facts About Australia.

DR.. Schoetensack's theory that Aus
tralia is the cradle of the human race
is attracting considerable. attention,
mainly on account of the ingenious
and plausibly logical arguments and
evidences he has adduced in support
Of his contention. 1t has been known
that the boomerang was not an exclu-
sively Australian weapon, but DIR.
Schoetensack holds that 1t had its
origin there and spread thence up to
Asia and across to Africa. One point
the German investigator seems to
have missed, and one that ought to be
OF some value to him. is that the
biologists have found the oldest ex-
posed land on the face of the earth
on the antipodean continent. II is a
curious fact that the youngest" of
the continents should thus be found
to be the Oldest In reality-that the
strata about Mount Lofty, behind AIDE
laide. should show an age reaching
far beyond that Of any other spot on
the globe.

its trunk as we'll Hence 1t gives forth.
when the wind blows, the strangest
and most dismal clanking.
The tree is called the Carnarvon
yew, and 1t is in credulous submission
to an old superstition that Carnar-
Won lately unclaimed 1t. The super
stition is that when limb of the tree
falls to the ground member of the
Carnarvon family dies. and at Carnar-
Won castle, in Carnarvon, Wales; at
Highclere castle, in Newbury; at Pix
ton Park, in Dulverton, and at Briefly
Park, in on-on-Trent-these are
Carnarvon estates-the superstition is
believed in.
The Carnarvons and their people
tell of seven authenticated cases where
the old legend was borne out by fact,
and that is why they have now
chained their yew trees limbs to its
trunk-chained them very cunningly,
so that the stout trunk carries nearly
all their weight, and it will be scarce
ly possible in the future for a branch
either to fall or to be blown down.
Thus the Earls of Carnarvon think
they will cheat death. Thus is a me-
dieval superstition revived in modern
England.
The Carnarvons are a rich, an an
cient and noted family. George Ed
ward Stanhope Molyneux Herbert, the
present earl, owns 5000 acres, is the
patron Of thirteen livings, and has
FIVE country seats besides his town
house at No. i3 Berkeley square, Lon
don.
The name Carnarvon means Fort
opposite Mona" and Carnarvon cas-.
tie. begun by Edward H.. in 1928, is
the oldest and most imposing fortress
in Wales. II occupies the entire west
end of the old town Of Carnarvon; II
is built throughout of cut stone; its
walls are eight feet thick, and here
in the Eagle tower, the first Prince OF
Wales was born.
The Earl of Carnarvon who chained
the limbs of the Carnarvon yew was a
scholar, poet and statesman. He
it was who created the Dominion OF
Canada, carrying through the Cana
dian bill in 1867, when he was colonial
minister.

encouraged Katherine's visits to Sem
pie House. even after she understood
that Capt. Hyde and other fashion
able and notable persons were fre>
quent visitors there. Lysbet Van
Heemskirk saw no reason why her
younger children should not move
with the current, when it might set
them among the growing aristocracy
of the New World.
She tried to recall Katherine's de-
meanor and words during the past
day, and she could find no cause for
alarm In them. She could not remem-
Der anything at all which ought to
make her uneasy; and what Lysbet
did not see or hear, she could not
imagine.
Yet the past ten hours had really
been full of danger to the young girl.
Early In the afternoon, some hours
before Joanna was ready to go. Kath-
crime was dressed for her visit to
Semple House. II stood. like Van
Heemskirk's, at the head Of garden
sloping to the river; and there was .
good deal of pleasant rivalry about
these gardens. both proprietors hav-
ing impressed their own individuality
upon their pleasure grounds.
The space between the two houses
was an enc.osed meadow; and this af-
ternoon. tho grass being warm and
dry and full Of wild flowers, Rather
inc followed the narrow footpath
through it, and entered the Semple
garden by the small side gate. Near
this gate was stone dairy, sunk be-
low the level of the ground-a deli
ciously cool. clean spot even in the
hottest weather. Passing it, she saw
that the door was open. and Madam
Semple was busy among it's large.
shallow, pewter, cream-dishes. She
was beating some rich curd with eggs
and currants and spices; and Rather
inc, with a sympathetic smile, asked
delightedly:
"Cheesecakes, madam"
Just cheesecakes, dearie"
"oh, I am glad! Let me fill some of
these pretty little patty-pans."
''Tll do naething O. the kind, Kath-
crime. You'd be spelling the bonnie
silk dress you hae put on. Go 10 the
house and sit wi Mistress Gordon.
She was asking for you no an hour
ago. And, Katherine. my bonnie las
sic, dinna gle thought to one word
that black-eyed nephew O. hers may
say to you. He's here the day and
game tomorrow, and the lasses that
heed him will get sair hearts to them
sells"
The bright young face Swallowed,
and a sudden fear came into Madam
Semple's heart as she watched the
girl turn thoughtfully and slowly
away into the house.

stock commissioners report on the
Texas fever epidemic which has ap.
peared in the counties Of Henderson.
Macoupin, Shelby. Menard, Green,
Warren and Mclean during the year.
He declares that the investigations
made by him prove conclusively that
the infection was caused by the use
Of cars which had previously been
used for the transportation of South.
ern cattle. DIR. Tiffany urges more
complete supervision over the matter
Of handling cattle, and suggests that
the Federal authorities can assist in
the work. He says: IF the Federal
authorities will prohibit the move
ment of cars which have transported
Southern cattle below the quarantine
line north of the line, for any purpose
whatsoever except the transportation
of Southern cattle, unless such cars
are thoroughly disinfected, the danger
Of fever infection will be materially
lessened."
