Still They Come.

Big schemes continue to be the
order of the times in the Browns
vile country. The latest of these is
the purchase of a portion of the
Hicks-Landrum- Combe tract OF
land above Brownsville by capital
lists from Iowa who will soon begin
making substantial improvement OF
the land. The land bought consists
of $500 acres out of the $4,000
acre tract, the owners retaining
1900 acres of the front portion and
half of tie land back from the riv-
er. The new owners will bring an
engineer to looI over their new
purchase, and he is expected with
in the next few days. In CONVEX
sation with J. F. Allen, of Hous-
ton, who represents the Iowa peo-
pie, a HERALD man learned some
of the details of what IS intended
to be done with the land. Ten
miles of canal will be constructed
at once, and a pumping plant erect
ed of sufficient capacity to supply
water for the entire $4,000 acres,
and the land put in the highest
state of improvement for small
farmers. Those who are familiar
with the Westmoreland addition
to Houston know the splendid
work done in this suburb, and the
mail who did this work will have
supervision of the improvements in
prospect here. He is the land man
of the Burlington railroad and this
of itself is sufficient guarantee of
the success of the proposed scheme.
The land purchased lies on both
sides of the Gulf Coast Line rail-
road, and is very desirable tract.
J essie, the first station this side of
Harlingen is situated on or near
this land and will be the shipping
point. THE HERALD is promised
further information as soon as a
line of work is mapped out.
The road to success is paved
with grit and sand.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING.

Last fall we called our readers
attention to the great disparity be-
tween the price of hides and that of
cattle. As the difference is even
greater this year, we again call our
readers attention to the subject.
By looking over the market re-
ports OF the various wholesale
Strengthening centers. we observe
that the value of common cattle
called grass fed cows is 81 to So. rs
per hundred pounds, an average 81
about q cents per pound. which
will net the shipper after freight IS
paid about two cents per pound.

The kitchen and pantry are To-
Gated in the northwest corner, has
an outside entrance in the corner,

modern commences of the culinary

The exterior ofsthe building will

skins in proportion. or about five
times the price per pound that cat
tie on foot will bring at home or by
shipping.
IL is very evident that at present
extreme high prices of hides aud
skins, the highest the world ever
saw, and the price of cattle about as
low as it ever was, that it would be
far better to kill common cattle and
eat or sell the beef at home, and
ship the hides and tallow to market,
as the hide and tallow will bring
about twice as much as the entire
animal would
While there is some difficulty
about shipping live stock. there is
none in shipping hides. All there
is to do is to address a tag and tie
it to the hide and send itby freight.
OF course it is likely that with the
advent of cold freezing weather,
hides will be some lower owing to
the greatly increased receipts; but
if they decline one cent per pound
they will still be over four times as
high as cattle.

A Suggestion.

Into the chest which a girl is filing
with linens for her future home only
white embroiderics are found on the
centerpieces and other table furnish
ings. She had protited by her mothers
experience with linens worked with
colored silks which. when spotted, are
ruined because the treatment which
removes the blemish also takes out
the colors Of the embroidery. More
thought as to such minor details
would save a heap of worries.

A jefferson Anecdote,

Joseph Jefferson once told a friend
that during his long stage career he
had never been associated with any
one showing undue familiarity win
him save one individual, a man named
Bagley, who some years ago was
property man in the comedian s
company.
This Bagley annoyed Mr. Jefferson
very much by his somewhat offensive
manners, but owing to the valuable
services rendered by him, Mr. Jeffer-
son had always been loath to take
measures more severe than a repri-
mand, But finally the familiarity OF
the property man increased to an ex.
tent impossible to endure, so he was
summarily discharged. This dis
missal occurred just before the open
ing of Mr.. Jefferson's engagement
one year in Baltimore.
That night Bagley got exceedingly
drunk. Paying his way into the
theater, he repaired to the gallery,
there to see his Old employer enact
rip Van Wrinkle"
The angry Gretchen had just driven
poor. destitute Rip from the cottage
when Rip turns, and with a world Oh
pathos, asks: Den | hat nc interest

deathly still, the audience half in
tears. when Bagley's cracked voice
was heard in response:
