There can be little doubt that the OK
was the earliest beast employed for
the plow. A white bull and a white
cow were yoked together to draw the
furrow for making the walls of Rome.
Greeks and Romans employed oxen in
plowing; asses only for sandy soils.
When the plowman had finished his
days labor he turned the instrument
upside down, and the oxen went home

surface of the ground, scene describ-

DARING WILD BRUTES.
The Panthcrs of India and How They
Secure Their Prey.

In certain parts OF India the panther
is named "bipat," which means calam-
ity, for he is an ever present scourge
among the people. His proper name is
tendwa. 1t is the habit of these pan

themselves on circle Of villages with
In convenient distance of their nightly
prowlings. AS soon as the sun is below
the horizon they sally forth from the
cover of the surrounding forests and
watch the paths by which the village
herds and fiocks return to their resting
places. IL q meal cannot be secured
then, later on they enter a village and
patrol the dark lanes in the boldest
manner. Nothing comes amiss to them
that Is not too large and heavy for
their strength.
Children, dogs, goats and the young
cattle are their favorite quarry. They
are bold enough to dash into hut even
with light burning in it, seize their
prey, then rush away with lightning
speed and, with a noiselessness that
Is marvellous, retreat with their prize
to the nearest cover and there deyour
it. In the morning the poor yillager,
following the tracks Of the retreating
animal, soon arrives ut the few re-
mains of his goat or calf or maybe his
child
In the following way the natives get
their revenge: A stray dog is caught In
the village and is tied out on the path
generally frequented by the panther
family. The bait Is carried Off during
the night and devoured close by. Next
day a machan (platforn) is fixed in
convenient tree, and in the evening a
kid Is tied on the spot occupied by the
dog on the previous night. The sports
man settles himself In the machan be-
fore sunset and begins his watch.
Terrified by his lonely position, the
kid begins n frantic bleating, which
soon attracts the panther marauders,
which are skulking about near the spot
where they found their last meal. A
short stalk soon brings them to the kid

accompanied by bundles of photo
graphs of would be wives, welshers'
tickets and a pair of wornout boots
with the legend: "All that is left of
them after walking from York to Lon
don. Backed all your mounts"
\ few years ago, after his horse had
lost an important race, q well known
turfman went UP to the jockey and
made him q formal and public pres
entation of silver snuffbox, saying
that if he would look inside he would
see the kind of horse he ought to ride
in future. The jockey opened the box
and found in it half dozen fat snails.
1t was the same satirical owner who
on another occasion presented his jock
ey with Il sumptuous casket, which on
being opened disclosed wooden spoon,
and to third jockey who had failed
to win an important race he handed

Boards Of Health always have been
irresponsible despots. Probably 1t is
absolutely necessary that they shall be
SO. They are the only institutions in the
country which combine all three func-
judicial and execu-
tive. They make their own laws. apply
those laws to particular cases, without
any bother about juries. interlocutory
writs, injunctions or appeals. They SIM
ply say what ought to go. and 1t goes
forthwith. This Is becoming highly i'm
portant, for every day sees an enlarge
ment Of matters under the jurisdiction
Of Boards of Health. They are now
making themselves very useful in sum-
mary proceedings upon the foods of
fered for sale. and though their acts are
"confiscatory" to a degree that should
throw the eminent Senate Constitutions
alists into uncomfortable fits, no one
thinks Of an appeal to the Supreme
Court, of raising a question as to pow
ers or jurisdiction, or even of trying to
obtain stay Of proceedings. The Board
simply says that something is "nuis-
ance." dangerous to the public health"
or "unwholesome," and that ends it,
Last week the Board of Health of a New
York town decided that Growing roos-
tiers were inimical to health, and none
should be permitted in the municipal

The story that Pedro Alverado. the
peon millionaire of Mexico, had offered
to pay his country's National debt
brings out some revelations about social
strata in Mexico. 1t is said that in the,
first place Senior Alverado is not a peon.
but middle-class man. whose family
has worn shoes" for more than 200
years. 1t seems that the line between
the lowest class and the middle class i'm
Mexico Is drawn by wearing shoes. The
low class wear what are called vorachos.
while the rank Of society immediately
above them wear shoes. For more than
200 years the Palmilla mine which is
probably the richest in the world, has
been owned and operated by the Alver-
ado family. The ancestors of the pres
ent proprietor had been slowly working
their way into the heart of the mine
taking out enough pay rock all the time
to support the family in comparative
aff1uence. Shortly after Pedro Alverado
came into possession the mine reached
the deposit of immense richness which
has been paying him since at the rate
of S1.500.000 year. Instead of Al
verado being a coarse, ignorant peasant,
he is said to be very refined. cour-
teous gentleman. If he would allow his
mine TO be worked on the American
methods it would produce probably
$20,000,000 a year, but he prefers the
ways with hand labor as
1t provides employment for an immense

LOCAL INSPECTION.

Is doing excellent work in the way of
carrying out local meat inspection, and
it's recently published results of inves-
tigation are of nature to call a sudden
halt upon the greed and INSCRIPTIONS

canned goods bought in the open mar
ket a large portion was found to be
healthful and exactly as represented.
but other specimens contained almost
anything that would go to fill up the
able. indigesuble and repulsive animal
offal. This was particularly true of the
"potted" and "deviled" meats and meat
loaf" A number of the specimens
were found to contain boracic acid,
borax and other health-injuring pre-
servatives. Cornmeal was found as a
frequent adulterant.
The State authorities Of Pennsylvania
seem to have been going on quietly for
some time carrying out The National

enced eyes and without fear. favor or
affection for anyone, packers or other

1t is from the industrious embarrassing

people desire to know. Probably the

representatives. visit since the Gamers
have had very rude shaking UP by an
aroused public opinion. They have
made notable Improvements in their
methods and surroundings, and prob
ably never will again fall anywhere near
the level they were when the exposures
took place. In all probability the CON-
ditions will be constantly improved UNI
til the abattoirs and packing houses are
put upon the basis required by modern
sanitary science. The article cannot
help being of the greatest qualification
to our people, who have been surfeited
with such measureless distortions and
absolute fabrications of the truth. With
the inspection system now being put

ture men and women can make their
breakfasts and dinners off canned goods
with far less of the qualms that have
heretofore disturbed them. The Ma
