cArs EYE SIGNAL LIGHTS.
Queer Consequences of Feline Wan

E TO- { +. 81 r#
From the Boston Transcript.
Did you ever see black cots eyes
when they were in the line OF an
electric light?" asked Ben wooiIiof
travelling engineer for the Missouri
division on the Burlington road. '1f
on steps on the railroad track ahead
of the engine and looks up the engj-
neer sees two vivid lights ahead OF
him, as large and clearly defined as
any signal lights on the road
Sometimes they are red, but nest
generally green or white. In the night
time, of course. the engineer can't
see the cat, and all he can do is to
run in obedience to the cats signals.
"If they are white he goes ahead
without stacking: IL green, he is cau-
tious; II red, he applies the air, to
make a stop. Sometimes train is
brought to dead halt before the en-
gineer learns what's up against him
"The running men tell me that the
eyes of polecats and rabbits are al
most as perfect signals as cats eyes.
No, there's been no talk of training
cats to act as signalmen. Engineers
wouldn't stand for 1t, because they
hate cats on general principles, and IL
they had their way would be happy
to lay the feline on the rails ahead
of their locomotives and crowd on all
steam"

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

~ local applications, as they reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is
,nly one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the GUS
tachian tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
.stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

Richmond, Mo-, Feb. ia jury in
the district court last afternoon re.
turned a verdict of not guilty in the
case of Mrs. Emmett Perdue, accused
OF the murder of her husband, DR..
Emmett Perdue of Encampment, Wye.
The jury had been out several hours.
The defense introduced only one wit.
ness, a gun expert, who testified in
support of the suicide theory.
The verdict of acquittal leaves the
mystery of DR.. Perdue's death as far
from solution as ever. Perdue was
shot while In bed at the house of Mrs.
.Perdue's parents, near here, about a
year ago. Whether he committed sui
eide or was murdered was never defin-
itely established.
Perdue had been separated from his
wife and the prosecution in the pres
ent case sought to prove by the intro
duction Of letters she had written him
that Mrs. Perdue had threatened him.

Phillips has reached here with his
hands and feet badly frosted as the
result of an experience on an overland
trip from Lander. In company with
another man he vas caught on the Red
desert in a raging blizzard, and for
sixty hours they wandered about al
most hopelessly, ~endeavoring to find
shelter from the storm. At last they
decided to trust to a small pony ac-
quainted with the country which they
were using as a pack horse, and this
pony soon led them to a place where
they could rest until the storm sub
sided, when they resumed their jour
ney.

No, | cannot say that shall make
mule culture a specially" Simply aim
to cultivate those qualities which nave
been lying dormant since along about
the time so many were slaughtered by
one-Jaw Bone. l shall run them all
above timber line. This will put them
out of hearing and their paving over
different sized s~now-banks and rock for
food will tend to develop their fore
parts as much, If not more than, their
already overdeveloped hinder ones. Eat
ing snow for water makes them more
submissive and acclimates them. Their
stunts at oratory will cause the wild
beasts of the mountains to fully realize
the nearness of civilization and they
will no doubt flee to remote parts, thus
protecting themselves and the rest of
the stock in lower attitudes. The de-
Ilightful change from old Missouri's
asthmatic, muggy atmosphere will no
doubt take away that sad expression
and give them a SUMMER disposition, at
the same time increase their term Of
life from four to FIVE hundred years.
Yes; track horses" only. Their
range is just below the mules home" l
have discovered a wonderful assistant
in this particular altitude which makes
track horse raising a simple pastime.
On account of the fondness for horse,
| have named him Horse-fy. He makes
his appearance just after the horse has
had his early breakfast and his call u.s.
ually extends through the greater part
of the day. This assistant keeps the
horses undivided attention, keeps him
from becoming lonesome, lazy, loggy,
and at the anne time trim n well
muscled, and at three years of age this
horse is ready for the track without
that long tedious process Of training.
Yes; a few hundred head of beef
to turn off yearly. 1 have not as yet
been able to ascertain the prevailing
breed of my neighbors n | shall
make no change from their breed, as l
consider the risk too great, besides
breed will tell, and if l should have a
number of high bred cattle and most of
my young stock should look just like
the mature cattle they would no doubt
become a trihe suspicious, as most of
you ranchmen well know.
Most certainly l shall "dry farm" l
had not intended at first to enter this
field, but l simply could not resist the
great temptation of extending my OPP
'erations into the golden realms of dry
farming. l shall not tax myself with
any of the more common farinacious
foods, sheep peas, etc, but turn my en-
'ergies to the higher and more cultured
varieties, such as Force, brain and
nerve varieties. Malta Vita, the predi-
gested variety which produces such a
beautiful bloom with a premium tick
ct in each bloom. Egg-O-See, the vari-
ETY. which smuggles in a French cup
and saucer with each vine. Xcelo, the
different from anything else variety.
After testing the climate to its full
capacity with such products l shall turn
my attention more particularly to tapi-
loca, maccaroni, nabiscos and other dry
farming products.

COUNTERFEIT DOLLAR
WITH TOO MUCH SILVER.

A counterfeit silver dollar Of which
mention was recently made in the Oma,
ha Bee was assayed by the local United
States assayer at Omaha Monday and
the coin was found to be 921 per cent
fine OF pure silver. The counterfeit dol
lar had therefore 81 per cent more pure
silver in it than the genuine coins.
An interesting feature has develop
ed in relation to these counterfeit,
though genuine silver coins, in that
they are supposed to be made over
from the Mexican silver dollar, the
stamp on the Mexican silver coins be,
