duties as superintendents of the canal construction. For hundreds and hun- dreds of yards along the beach near the city the ground is literally cov- cred with these evidences of waste fulness and extravagance. And that was only a grain of sand in the desert, when all their orgies are taken into consideration. The very dredges that were used to carry the dirt from the excavations out to be dumped in the sea were fitted up with cabins on the roofs. and there under silken awnings the officers os the compallv sat and siaped their wine and enj .yed the breezes in company with scarlet wo- men especially imported from Paris for their pleasure. The puffing of the dredge engines were mingled with the sound os merriment and drunken laughter, and the invested savings of nation were being squandereo by racreant officers in such an orgy as was never known since the first man appeared in the garden of Eden.

 My first impression upon landing at Colon was that if had stood upon tip- toe could see the Pacific ocean. The isthmus is only forty-seven miles wide between Colon and Panama, and to one standing at either place it almost seems that the beating of the surf on the other shore is audible. The next feel ing that came over me was one of won- der that a nation like the United States had for so long allowed the isthmian canal to remain uncut, while the trade of a continent languished for the lack of such a waterway to reach the teem- ing millions of the Orient" In this manner began W. B. Christian, assist ant general passenger agent of the Sea board air line railway, when asked yes terday to give his impressions of the country and the causes that are now the center of interest of the world Panama and the canal. In 1893 MT. Christian went to the isthmus as staff representative of the New York Press, and his letters written from that place were syndicated and published in the newspapers and other periodicals. In prosecuting his work on the isthmus, Mir. Christian spent six weeks on the scene, covering the entire territory embraced in the operations of the French canal company, and he proba- bly knows more about the land and the subject now before the American

are buried there twenty in grave, and it is a common practice for the fam ily of g. deceased person to rent a coffin and take the dead one to the cemetery in it, and when the funeral is conclud- ed to return the coffin to the under taker. Panama is better than Colon in some respects. It is pleasanter there when the breezes blow, and it is per- haps little healthier. At both places all the stores close at il o'clock in the
 morning and remain closed until 2 in the afternoon. while the inhabitants take their siesta. No work is ever done in the middle, of the day, and if it is at all damp there is none done during the entire day. To return to the immediate subject of the canal. I will say that parts of it that are already completed could be made ready for use in a short time and with little expense. What is done was done in a masterly manner. There is nothing shoddy about it: it is a standard con- struction in every respect. But it will require at the lowest estimate $100,000,- 900 to reduce Culebra to the level of the sea and cut passage through it's base, I am not an engineer, but it is appar- ent to any sane observer that an enor- nous amount of money will be required to complete the task so disastrously un- dertaken by France.
 And I want to say that there was never such a Belshazzars feast seen in the world as went on at the isthmus during the time work was being car. ried on there. It passes human be- lief. Why, one could scarcely walk upon the coast near Panama fol the broken fragments Of champagne bot . ties thrown there by the reckless and spendthrift officers who were sup- posed to be soberly attending to their

Our speeu- lations were. however, speedily set at rest, and the matter satisfactorily ex- plained by an old gentleman. who re- moved his greatest and disclosed a small copper furnace secured round his waist with a band, and neatly covered with basket work.

CATTLE OF HUNGARY.
They Are Of 8 Peculiar White, Long
Horned Breed.

Ahe american traveller in south e1et~
ern Europe can hardly have failed to.
notice the various breeds 81 white
long-horned cattle which prevail
there. The two best known breeds are
the italian and the Hungarian. 1t Isl
probably safe to say that Hungarian
cattle are an indigenous race, for the
great source Of supply for white cat-
tie, I'VE IN Roman days. was the re-
gion that Is represented to-day by
Hungary as its center, This white
breed is not confined to Hungary for
e e to be found In Roumania, Trans
Bylvania, Moldavia, B~essarabla, Cali
eia. etc. The Podolian cattle are also
white, and perhaps shorter in the legs
and deeper in the body than the Hum
garian cattle OF the plains, while their
horns are also shorler and thicker.
Hungarian cattle do all the draught
work that IS to be done. blowing i1
done with oxen, wagons are drawn by
them, and, in fact teams OF four oxen
do all the farm and general draught
work that we do with horses. On farms
they begin to work these cattle when
three o. four years old, but the peas
ants use them even at an earlier age.
The oxen are controlled by word Of
mouth. After being worked two or
three years they are often fattened for
the butcher. Excepting those at labor,
Hungarian cattle are generally in a
semi-wild state, and live continuously
out Of doors. The puszta, or prairie
ranges, carry enormous herds, their
food being pasture only, except in win
ter time, when they get hay. The
breeding animals, however, get some
grain in addition. The cattle are
looked after on the prairie by herds
men, some Of whom are horsemen,
much after the manner of our cow
boys Of the western plains. These
Hungarian herdsmen practically act as
boundary riders, Hungary being, as a
rule, a land devoid of fences.
The calves are dropped under wild
conditions, similar, at any rate, to
those enjoyed by our western range
cattle. aud it may be said that they
show many similar traits. The young
calves are stated to be yellowish, while
those nearest white have a brown line
down the neck and a fainter one down
the back.
When between two or three years old
the young are brought of the ranges
and broken to yoke. Having on these
plains to withstand the heat of sum
mer and rigors of winter, these cattle
become hardy, and the food they have

Graham county jail, at Clifton, Ariz.,
Is probably the most unusual in Amer
lea. 1t comprises four large apartments
hewn in the side of a hill OF solid quartz
rock. The entrance to the jail is through
q bOx-like vestibule built Of heavy ma
sonry, and equipped with three sets Of
gates Of steel bars. Here and there In
the rocky walls holes have beS7 blasted
for windows, and in these a~pGtatures a
series of massive bars of steel have been
fitted firmly in the rock. TIE floor of
the rockbound jail is Of cement, and the
prisoners are confined whollT in the
larger apartments. In some PAGES the
wall of quartz about the Jail is Is feet
thick. Some of the most desperate Grim
lnals on the southwest border have been
confined in the Clifton Jail, anA so solid
and heavy are the barriers te escape
that no one there has ever attempted
to make a break for freedom. The no
torious Black Jack was there for

strange sinmeae Custom.

They have a novel method in Siam
Of getting rid Of the bodies of paupers
and criminals. In one of the temples
is kept a flock Of a hundred v%ultures.
and the bodies, instead of being buried
or burned, are given to them as food.
As soon as they catch sight Of a body
the ~rapacious creatures gather around
it, and it only takes them a minute or
two to pick all the flesh off it. A re-
pugnant sight it is, but, according to
Siamese physicians, 1t is an excellent
sanitary measure. The soil Of siam.
they point out, is generally moist, and
hence it is much better that bodies
should be treated In this way than re-
placed in the ground, for, if buried,
they would surely prove more or less
Of a menace to the public health. Aft
er the vultures have finished their

naturally been accustomed, to makes
them most economical in their keep.
When not working they will, for *
ample, do well on a diet Of maize
straw and chah.
Cows of Hungarian breed, it must
be noted are poor mixers, so much so
that the milk supply Of the country is
to a large extent, obtained from ami
mails Of foreign dairy breeds, mostly
Swiss or German. Hungarian cattle
must therefore, be regarded as draught
oxen pure and simple, and though
Hungary is a great horse breeding
country, still oxen are used alone for
draught, and reared for that purpose.
as being more economical in cost Of
food as compared with the horse, and
having the advantage that they car
be. fattened after use. The East Indies
and Africa are regions in which it is
probable that Hungarian cattle could
be well utilized. The points in favor
of the breed are that they r reared
under natural or semi-wild conditions,
that their size, bulk and strength make
them good draught oxen, that they
thrive we'll on very poor fare, and
that they can resist disease better than
any other breeds. On the state farm
or domain Of Mezohegyes a team Of
| Hungarian oxen were found which
stood over II hands high, each animal
weighed over one ton, and each ear
ried horns that were six feet from tip
to tip, and this is often exceeded.
Teams of oxen shod for road work
measuring 16 hands in height are a
frequent sight.
