Tanning the Cheetah In India.

The cheetah is tied in all directions,
principally from a thick grummet of
rope around his Ioins, while a hood
fitted over his head effectually blinds
him. He Is fastened on a strong cot
bedstead, and the keepers and their
wives and families reduce him to sub
mission by starving him and keeping
him awake. His head is made to face
the village street, and for an hour at
a time several times day his keepers
make pretended rushes at him and
wave cloths, slaves and other articles
in his face. He is talked to continually,
and women's tongues are believed to
be the most effective antisoporiics. No
created being could resist the effects Of
hunger, want of sleep and feminine
scolding, and the poor cheetah becomes
piteously, abjectly tame.-"Beast and

POULTRY POINTERS.

When chickens grow very fast, it
sometimes causes leg weakness.
Under usual conditions a variety of
food is better than any medicine that
can be given.
The only safe way of disposing of
dead fowls that have died of any con
tagious disease is to burn them.
Glover contains two elements that
are in demand by the hens-nitrogen
and lime 1t is rich in the elements
required for the whites Of eggs.
When roup gets into flock it inva-
riably leaves some ailment behind.
The fowl that has been subject to it is
seldom healthy again.
There is no cure for feather pulling
except by more labor and time than an
ordinary flock is worth. The best plan
is to get rid of the guilty fowls as soon
| as possible.
A hen seldom begins to eat eggshells
| until she finds one broken or until she
becomes accustomed to eating eggs
thrown out into the yard. The safest
plan is always to crumble them up fine

According to the estimate of Lord
Curzon, viceroy of India, the natives of
that country have boarded wealth,
much of it in gold buried in the ground,
amounting to no less than $310, 600, 900.
He advises them to bring out this
wealth from its hiding places and in
vest it in industrial enterprises, thus
not only make the money earn divi-
dends but help in the development OF
the country. If the Indians were to
follow Lord Curzon's advice and turn
all of this great sum into manufacture
ing plants, the people of Great Britain
would probably sincerely regret it. Il
there is one thing above another that
the Brltishers do not want, it is that
India shall not become a manufacturing
country.

If Congress would become mad
enough at the Standard Oil Company
to repeal the favors it gets from the
tariff, instead of falsely asserting that
it gets none, it would accomplish a
very good work. Mr.. Rockefeller
would then be stopped from collecting
3 per cent. of the wages of the work
men in tinplate mills. There is reason
to think that the workmen need the
money worse than Mr.. Rockefeller.

sTAGEcoACH DAYS.
Story Of a Trip From Portsmouth TO
London In 1850.

London In 1850.
There are men and wonderland they
are not always the old-who deplore
the breathless pace of the age. In
stagecoach days, they tell US, life was
a different thing. People journeyed
through the years leisurely then; eX-
istence had a flavor A century ago
Journey meant fellowship and merry
adventures and a comfortable enjoy
ment of the beauties of the landscape.
All this may be so, but traveller
who made the journey from Ports
mouth to London in 1870 shows that
even stagecoach days had their shad-
ows.
THE getting up on the coach alone
was at the risk of ones life he wrote,
land when l was up l had nothing to
hold on to except little handle at the
side. The moment we set off | thought
I saw certain death before me. The
machine rolled with tremendous rapid
ity over the stones and every minute
seemed to fly in the air, so that it APP
peared to me complete miracle that
we stuck to the coach at all.
This continual fear of death at last
became insupportable to me, and
carefully crept along the top of the
coach and ensconced myself in the
basket behind.
ION a sudden the coach proceeded al
a rapid rate down hill All the boxes
iron nailed and copper fastened, began
to dance around me, and every moment
l received such violent blows that
thought my last hour had come. Shak
en- to pieces, bleeding and sore, l crept
back to my former position. And il
rained necessarily, and as before we
were covered with dust so now We
were soaked with rain.
