when game goes out of season
by reason of the game laws. the
guinea fowl man gets his innings"
said an experienced farmer discuss
ing new opening in his trade.
'In habits and instincts the
guinea resembles the wild birds
much more than it does the ordinary
domesticated fowl" he added,
while its flesh is dark meat very
solid and plump and Of a favor
closely resembling that of a quail.
For that reason it is the best substi-
tute for game fowl yet discovered,
and that at fourth of the price
asked for the more expensive luxury.
Much that is sold by poultrymen
as guinea by the simple metamor
phosis of the oven becomes game. 1
could name at random a half dozen
large hotels in which young guineas
are placed regularly before patrons
who ordered partridge. 1t is impos-
sible to secure the latter, which yet
figure on the menu, and none but an
epicure can detect the difference of
flavor. Some farmers sell almost ex-
clusively to expensive hostelries,
which pass the birds off, respectively
as quail or pheasant, according to
size.
1.-THE export trade in guineas, too,
is by no means inconsiderate. as
several thousand head are shipped to
England from American farms every
year. These are almost entirely the
old fowls-that is, those which have
reached full growth.
Among the many points in favor
of guinea poultrying is the fact that
the young are Matched out at time
of year when artificial warmth or ex-
pensive buildings are not required.
The expense of feeding the old fowls
too, is hardly one-half of that re-
CURED for chickens in like quantity.

What Elephants Cost.

African elephants cost from $1,000
to 81, 400; an Indian elephant about
$1,000. Giraffes are worth about the
same price as African elephants on
account of their scarcity. A fine hip
popotamus may be purchased for
$500, an African lion for $500 to
$500, and lioness for s160 or $50,
Bengal tigers are worth from s160
to $3.50, and camels from $50 to
f10e0 apiece.

Warming to Travellers.

A curious winter custom in York
shire is the blowing of a horn to
warn wayfarers on the moors near
cambridge.
At 8 o'clock every winters night
the horn is blown on the green OF
the little village of cambridge.
There is little doubt that many a
traveller lost in the fog has owed
his safety to this custom.

Secretary Garfield. who on his recent Western
trip made financial conditions a special subject
of inquiry reviewed the situation with the
President at some length What the Secretary
saw in the West was encouraging
He told the President that Western bankers
have gradually been divorcing themselves from
Wall Street influences until they are now prac-
tically Independent OF them, at least to the ex-
tent Of not being embarrassed because OF the
fan in securities dealt in on the New York
Stock Exchange. Their loans Mr. Garfield said.
are largely secured by Western real estate and
other local securities. and those which are based
on Eastern collateral have largely been read
justed in the last year on the lower value OF
the securities 1t was said here to-day that had

that he had not decided what he would do re-

said he wanted to give IL all the opportunity
possible TO get on it's feet before placing Il in
the hands OF a receiver. and that he was still in
hopes that recelvership would be unnecessary.

made there was a stormy scene. and the fact
that Mr. Barney had obtained loans for between
100000 and $4,000 and had left Ice securities
