TOPPED x. C. MARKET.
j.. n. Morehead Had Best Bunch of
Fat Cattle.

The following clipping is taken
from Il recent issue of the Kansas
City Droyers Journal. and speaks wei
for Richardson county and Mr.. More
head:
j. II. Morehead of Falls City,
Neb., who topped the fat cattle mar
ket yesterday, is positive there is
money in feeding cattle and hogs I'M
der the present conditions, Starting
in last spring with three carloads of
steers that cost laid down at his
farm around $3.75, he has marketed
all of them this fall at an average a
little above $7.75. Mr.. Morehead
feeds corn and hay, and runs hogs
With his cattle. He has fed many
years. and has gradually increased
in prosperity. The lot of cattle that

Mr.. Morehead, made me a nice prof

penses. Last spring when | got
ready to feed these three carloads
of steers, | went about the neighbour

shoats. They cost me $3.50. | have
kept an account of the hogs as well
as the steers, and find that | have

| do not see any reason why it is
not a safer proposition to go ahead
and feed c~onservatiyely this winter
than it was a year ago. Last fall
at this time, corn was as high as it
is now. while hogs sold at a much
lower price than now, and fat steers
brought less. There seems to be no
doubt at all but what hog prices will
hold up. The predicted breaks in
the hog market this fall have failed
to materialize. The hogs are simply
gone, and the farmer who has any is

better Mr.. Morehead was well
pleased with his sale here yester-

weighed just 90 lbs more here than
they did when he loaded them for

Eucere Sues Vanity.

Notwithstanding the extraordinary
literary success which he enjoyed
when his works were the vogue, Eu-
gene Sue posed much more as a man
of fashion than a man Of letters. After
his dinner at the Cafe de Paris he
would gravely stand on the steps
smoking his cigar and listening to the
conversation with an air Of superiority
without attempting to take part in it.
His mind was supposed to be far
away. devising schemes for the social
and moral improvement Of his fellow
creatures. These philanthropic mus
ings did not prevent him from paying
a great deal of attention-too much
perhaps-to his personal appearance
for even in those days of beaus, bucks
and dandies, of Counts dOrsay and
others, men could net help thinking
Eugene Sue overdressed.

NO. Is

! in any of the other islands visited,
but they also havepeculiar weapons
and utensils which they will sell for
tobacco or food. Among the birds
is the lyre bird whose tail is most
gorgeously colored and looks like
the musical instrument from which
lit is named. There is also a spen-
didly colored paroquet.
The men carry trophies of human
skulls and a peculiarly preserved
human face which is painted and
inlaid with mother Of pearl, giving
it most grotesque appearance.
The island abounds in all kinds OF
tropical fruit, but so far the ma
tiyes have premonted evey effort
to colonize it with white people, A
number of Catholic missionaries
came here several years ago and
founded a mission but all of them
were killed, and the same fate has
met every person who has tried to
make friends with the savages.
They will trade with the ships IN a
small way, but are bitterly oppos-
ed to having whites come ashore to
stay.
One CT the islanders, who appear
ed to be a chief, came aboard ship
and tried to induce some OF the
passengers to go ashore, saying
that they would be perfectly safe,
but the captain advised so strong
ly against it that no one felt like
tempting fate. They carry bows
and spears, and have shields made
of rushes, bound together in oval
form. They seem to have no idea
of values and one can secure some
beautiful trophies for small piece
Of tobacco or for string of glass
beads worth ten cents. They have
pigs and chickens and there are al
so many dogs which are half wild
and look more like wolves than dogs.

at Exciting Moments.
In pictures of athletic competltlohs'

the Jumper in swinging the leg up so,
and almost any person is likely to ilnd
himself doing it instinctively.
1t may be noticed at prizcfghts that
some men go through the entire battle
punch for punch, crossing and counter

drive and ride horses in races from the

Umbrella Etiquette In Turkey.

In China ladies are attended by serv-
ants who hold umbrellas over their
heads. The Chinese and Japanese in
troduce both the umbrella and parasoI
into their decorative work and athletic
sports. In western Turkey it is neces-
sary to close an umbrella on meeting
people of high rank. and European
traveller who was passing one Of the
palaces of the sultan was nearly run
through by the guard before he COM
pretended that he must put down the
open umbrella he carried. Every enc

sultan lowers his umbrella rs salil-

An Old Idea.

Macaulay was not the first man to
frame the famous image Of the man
of new civilization standing amid
the ruins of that which we know to-
day. Long before he wrote of his
traveller from New Zealand meditat-
ing upon London bridge Mrs. Barbauld
had used the same image, with the diff
ference that she applied it to Black
friars bridge. An earlier reviewer had
used it in an article published in 1867,
we are told by an English commenta-
tor, and Horace Walpole says in one
Of his letters. "At last some curious
traveller from Lima will visit England
and give a description of the ruins of
st. Paul's."
