Some Interesting experiments in
breeding buffaloes are being carried on
near Monterey, Cal; by Esteban j.
Molera, a ranchman. He has been at
it for the last six years and is more Ell
couraged than ever. He started with
a pair of buffalo and now his herd OF
a. The buffalo is a restless animal,
and Mr.. Molera changes his heard from
ranch to ranch as discomfort is ex-
hibited. Experiments in breeding the
buffalo with common cattle have been
made and some half-breed Galloway
raised. The flesh makes good meat
and the skin fine leather There is also
finer and thicker growth of hair than
with the pure buffalo.

WHAT lola EARNED.

\ Year

y
1t is estimated that lola made 2,0OO,-
900 francs, that is about $400,0 900, in his
forty years of authorship. That does
not seem very large reward for at
tanning to the height of popularity
among European authors, says the
London correspondent of the Chicago
Post. Why, more than two or three Of
our little island novelists get as much
for the serial rights of a single story,
and one at least earns twice as much
every year of her lucky life. A friend
of mine earns $4,000 year for manag-
ing photograph company. Last win
ter a local doctor made $4,000 during the
vaccination scare. But, of course.
money was not Zolas only reward.
Have you ever read the wooden auto
biography of that verbose novelist, An
thony Trollope? 1t is worth reading, if
only for it's frank statement of Troll
lope's methods and ideals and earn
ings. He had few Illusions He was a
novelist by trade. He it was, you re-
member, who ground out his daily por-
ton of everlasting copy even in the
stateroom of an Atlantic liner. Well,
Trollope says that in thirtytwo years
of novel writing he made $3.50, 900. That
is a better record than Zola's, and who
can say that his literary record is
worse? 81 have turned out more stuff"
wrote Trollope, than any other living
European author-certainly more than
twice as much as Carlyle" Poor Car
lyle! Even some of your stuff" is for
gotten.
But do you remember what Carlyle
said to- William BLACK when he had
finished reading "a Daughter of
Heth?" Eth, man." said he, in his
grimmest way, but when are we goin'
to do somethin' serious?"

Every fresh calculation of the cost to
England of the Boer war puts up the

a suitable sum to pay for killing repub-

the cost at $1,000, 100000. That's none
too high, taking everything into con-

Contrary to expectations, the
local base ball team arrived In the
city last night. They had been
scheduled to play at Ashland, KY,
today and tomorrow. The attend
ance there however, did not justify
the team remaining for more than
one game. They played for a
certain percentage of the receipts
and as our share the first day was
something like thirteen dollars,
Manager Outcalt wisely concluded
to bring the boys back.
News of their coming spread
over the city, and their was a
goodly number of friends at the de
pot to say "hello," while along the
street the greetings showed plainly
that the people of Sistersvilie think
we'll of their ball tossers, not only
as players, but as gentlemen and
friends.
The trip was not so successful as
1t had been hoped, but 1t was a sue
cessiou of those mysterious things
which happen In base ball, and can
not he accounted for. Teams at
the head of a big league have ire
quently lost every game on trip,
and still win out. So their losing
these games Is no evidence of the
fact that they can't play the ma
tional game, and play 1t as good as
any of the clubs they have been up
against the last few days.
Since leaving here the team has
been strengthened by the addition
OF two new players. At Charleston,

The selling of lots In Garry
Owen Is going on and every day
sales are being made. Some people
seem to have an erroneous Idea
about these lots. Some lots sell as
high as $500 and people seem to
think this Is the price asked for all
the lots, while In fact, only few
of the very choicest lots sell at
those figures. Very good lots are
offered as low as S125 on up. The
lots are all of good sizes, nicely To-
Gated, on level ground, a majority

food and the prices asked are very
reasonable and the terms easy. 1t

ORIGIN OF NUNS HEADDREss.

First Placed on Pretty Head by Gal.
liant French King.
Very few persons, says a French
paper, know the origin of the head
dress which so many nuns wear, and
which hides so much of their faces.
It was formerly the custom for con-
vents to send nuns to the various
cities and towns for the purpose of
collecting aims, and as a rule two
nuns, one old and the other young,
went to each place. They wore small
caps, and were popularity known as
Swallows of Lent"
On a certain Ash Wednesday two
Of them succeeded in obtaining admis-
sion to the kings palace in Paris, and
though the monarch and his courtiers
we're at dinner, they did not hesitate
to solicit aims from them. One of the
nuns was very pretty, and the young
mobiles who were feasting cast such
bold glances at her that she blushed
with shame, whereupon the king rose
from the table, and, taking his nap
kin, folded it in two and placed in on
her head in such a manner that 1t
concealed her bushes. Ever since
that day, it is said, this kind of head
dress has been worn by nuns.

PRIZES TO COOKS.

$7,5oo.ooo In Cash to Be Distributed.
Between now and July 1st, family
cooks, whether employees or the mis-
tress of the household, will be follow
ing the plan laid down for improve
ment in cooks in contest for 735 cash
prizes ranging from $4,000 to $500
offered by the Postum Cereal Co.,
Ltd.
The winners must show improve
ment in general cookery as clearly
stated in the rules for the test.
No one has to buy or pay anything
whatever. 1t is simply an earnest eff
fort on the part of Mr.. Post to stimu-
late the household cook to more care
full and skillful cookery.
To have light, sweet bread and
cakes instead of heavy, sour and in
digestible things. To have no more
greasy, burned or dried-out meats. To
have properly made Coffee, Postum
and tea. To have delicate and diges-
tible, toothsome desserts and a table,
clean, tasty and a pleasure to look
upon.
ana so $l,5OO.OO in actual money will
be spent to encourage the cooks Of the
country to better effort. And you
housekeepers, please forever abandon
the term hired girl" Teach your
cook the dignity Of her profession, call
her the cook.
If her duties include other services,
well and good, but don't detract from
her professional title by calling her
the hired girl" That term doesn't fit
a good cook. A certificate bearing
the large seal of the Postum Cereal
Co., Ltd, will go to each of the 735
winners in this contest. These GER
tificates or diplomas will be as valu-
able to the holders as doctors sheep
