FARM ANIMALS.

Agsrogats Valuo of AH Classes

Shows a Heavy Doeline.

Lowrat Point Reached Slnee 1S03 —Horses Suffer the Greatest Decrease, Doth iu Numbers and Price Milch Cows Show an Iim reuse. The annual live stock investigation made by the American Agriculturist through local repn'sontativcs in every Beetion of the country, places the afrpTcfvale value of all classes of farm animals on January 1, 1 sue, ut $1,860,428,000. u decline during tli** year of 131),000. This is the lowest point yet reached since the decline begun in 1893, when the total value of animals on the farm was reported at $2,48.3,083,000 a Bhrinkapc In three years of $622,663,000, or 25 |>er cent. The shrinkage of the pa«t 12 months lin.s l>een mainly in horses and hoe's, cows showing a slight increase in the aggregate value and other classes of cattle a substantial gain, horses alone appearing the doubtful quantity. According to the live stock census of the American Agriculturist there were in the United Stales January 1 • total of 15,867,000 horses, a decrease of 250,000 during the year; milch cows, 17,747.000, an increase of 536,000; other cattle, 32,602,000, an increase of 204,000; hogs. 46,302,000, a decrease of 759,000, mid sheep 32,843,000, a shrinkag. 1 of 2,971.000. The most striking feature regarding horses is the decline in average value per head, amounting to $7.50 or nearly 18 per cent., in a rear. In milch cows there w jas an increase during the last three* years of a little less than 10 per cent, iu numbers and an increase la value of 42 cents, while every other class of farm stock decreased, both in numbers and value. The average value of all the milch cows is $22.12, and of cattle $17.30. In sheep from 1893 to 1896, there has l>eon a decrease at the rate of $3,000,000 a year, or from $47,274,000 to $32,848,000. Even this fails to measure the full loss, jus the average value of those remaining shows a shrinkage of 91 cents per head, or 34 per cent. The total hog supply, 32,‘18,000, slowed a decrease of less than 2 per cent., in spite of considerable losses from sickness last fall in some of the principal ling states. WISHES PA WAS A POLICEMAN. Ruth (‘levelaiul I Hast rate, a C'hlljl*. Conceptlon of Greatnoss. Little Ruth Cleveland is How five years of age, and she begins to understand the distinction she enjoys as a daughter of the president- Childhood’s estimate of greatness was charmingly illustrated by Ruth the other day. One of the policemen whose duty it is to guard the private portion of the grounds in the rear of the white house is a stalwart specimen of manhood. He is habitually careful tus to his attire, and his tint tons always shine with a brilliant luster. The other day this policeman took his little six-year-old daughter with him that she might enjoy the well-guarded flowers and tho clean walks of the private grounds during bus two hours of duty. While tho policeman was pointing out the beauties of the grounds to his daughter Misses Ruth and Esther, under the escort of their respective nurses, left the mansion for a healthful run in the fresh air. Ruth ran ahead of her nurse, and upon discovering a girl of her own age strutted up and surveyed her from head to foot. After looking the little girl over Ruth straightened herself up with an air of importance and said: “My papa is president; who is your papa ?” The policeman’s daughter defiantly replied: “My papa is a policeman.” Ruth glanced up at the burly form ornamented with bright brass buttons, and hanging her head in an abashed manner replied: “1 wish my papa was s policeman.” SURF BATHING IN YOUR HOME. Ingenious Hath Tub Devised by t» Citizen

A new kind of bath tub lias been invented in Germany. The maker diteribes its delight fill qualities in a long, thoughtful and interesting advertise-

The most remarkable quality is that it gives you the delights of surf bat hing in your own room with a very moderate allowance of water, says the Xrw York World. Two pitchers of that commodity are sufficient. The wave-bath is of z ; nc and rests on a curved bottom. The h-ast distu'-b-vice of its equilibrium will therefore cause it to rock freely. One cud cur es upward, so that it comes over the bather’s head, and at the other end where his feet are the water is covered over o a certain extent. This makes It im-

FACTS ABOUT THERMOMETERS. Sensitive 1 net ru 111 cut Which Registers 11 tbit from th«; .Moon. To toll whether a thermometer accurately does its work invert the instrument, says the New York World. If the mercury does not fall to the end or if it breaks into several small columns, the thermometer contains air ami is inaccurate. If perfectly made the slender thread should fill the tube or break oiT at, the bulb and fail to the end of the tube. There is another interesting fact about thermometers. Nine persons out j of ten think the mercurial column I round,- but that is not the case. The | thread of mercury iu thermometers is flat. if it were round the column could hardly be seen, for the opening of the tube is as fine as the finest thread. Some eight of ten years ago a Boston manufacturer introduced a scheme of coating the back of the tul)e. with white sizing. That makes the column of mercury stand out clear and dis-

tinct.

Thermometers are cheaper and better than ever before. You can now buy a heat marker, for 25 cents, but a firstclass instrument will cost you two dollars. A cheap instrumentlsjike a cheap watch—it is unreliable. The reason for this is that a perfect thermometer has a scale of its own. The cheap thermometer is made on guess work, lienee you see a difference of two, three or five degrees between thermometers in the same locality cn the snmqday. The most sensitive heat marker is the Crookes. It consists of four arms suspended on a steel pivot, rotating like a miniature wind gauge, and the whole affair is inclosed in a glass tube from which the nir has been exhausted. The light of a candle one or two feet away causes the arms to rotate. Quite as sensitive is the thermopile, which is used to detect the faint rays of hcivt transmitted from the moon and stars to this cold world. ONLY A STONE WALL STOPS IT. Little Animal That Dluftes a -lost Remarkable Pilgrimage. By far the most remarkable pilgrimage ever observed among the loweranimals was that witnessed in Norway, not once, but several times within this century, says the New York Mercury. A party of fishermen upon one occasion were encamped on the borders of a small ford, and were mending their nets when they observed a number of lemmings—a little animal allied to the beavers—coming out of the wood that shifted the shore. At first, seeing the men, they ran hack; then others appeared, and more, until hundreds were upon tiie bench. As tiie day passed the nnmtvers continually increased until before night the camp of the men was alive with the little creatures that now began to take to the water. Thousands came pouring from the woods in the ensuing few days, followed by hawks and other predatory animals that feed upon them. They passed on into the water, swimming over it, scores being drowned during the passage, the rest reaching the opposite shore and moving on into the. woods, impelled by the strange instinct. It is said that nothing deters these pilgrims but a stone wall, which they cannot scale. Biles of grain and fodder > they have been known to tunnel through, their instinct being to move ahead in a given line. The fishes make remarkable pilgrimages from one shore to another, and in such vast bodies as to defy descri^v

APPLICATION OF A FABLE. He Wore Sheep*!i Clothes, Hot Preved to He u Wolf In the Fold. Tiie story of tiie ass who clothed himself in a lion's skin in order to pass himself off as the king of boasts is well known, but the tale of the thief who got inside a sheep’s skin to be better able to carry on his nefarious trade has yet to be told, says the London Telegraph. Early one morning two policemen, who were on duty at the slaughter houses of Baris, were astonished to see a sheep endeavoring to effect an entrance into the inclosure where creatures of its kind were stationed. But the officers’ attention was redoubled when a man’s hand protruded from beneath the stolen fleece. Their curiosity became intensified, and they carefully followed the sham animal, who stopped at tiie pen which inclosed the real articles, and with great coolness chose the two largest and fattest of the flock. Still observed by the watchful guardians of tiie law, this plagiarist of an ancient fable proceeded to kill and cut up his capture, and was on the point of making off with his booty, when he found himself in turn the spoil of tiie law, and was quickly marched off to tiie police station, where he gave his name as Eugene I^tssot. From Ids account he made a good living out of his occupation by selling the meat to various butchers. For some time, at least, it is to be hoped that the animals at the abattoirs will cease to lie sent to nn earlier death by the depredations of tiiis latest wolf in sheep’s clothing.

A lleporter’s Abbreviation. In a paper on “Some Humors of Parliamentary Reporting" in Macmillan's is the following: "There is a well authenticated story current in the reporter’s gallery of a strange freak of a telegraph clerk in the transmission of tiie report of a parliamentary speech by Mr. Foster to a daily paper in Bradford. The subject of the speech was education; the word ‘children’ was frequently used, and for the sake of brevity the Clerk substituted ‘kids,’ trusting that the alteration would l»e corrected by the operator at the other end of the vire. The message, however, was not only written, but printed just ns it was transmitted. Imagine the faces of tho right honorable gentleman’s constituents when they read the next morning: "You know of Wordsworth's profound saying: “The kid is father to the man.' ”

— 1 -e*- ... - 1 ' _ . — ■ FOUND THE HOUSE JOURNAL. 1‘rHjer Had to He Continued TUI a MImhIng Book Wan Found. The youthful Mr. Itagby, the chaplain of the last house, was exceedingly popular jiersonaliy among tiie members of all parties and cn cds, says Ihe Minneapolis Journal. He made a hot contest for tho place and filled it to the satisfaction of everybody after he had won it. Ho is something of a wag, and can enjoy i joke as much us any layman. Rev. Mr. Ungby, with but u single exception, always cut his invocations short at the < pening of the Louse each morning, i. ,d the reason for this one long prayer has just leaked out. One morning during the last session tiie clerks at the speaker’s desk were unable to find the house journal, without the reading of which tiie business of the house could not be begun. Tiie chaplain hud begun his prayer, and was drifting along, when the reading clerk touched his arm and in unexcited whisper said: "Keep on with the prayer until we find the journal. We have lost it.” The chaplain continued, and a few seconds later the reading clerk again nudged him, requesting that lie continue longer, as they were unable to find the missing volume. “Don’t stop until I tell you,” he said. “Keep this thing up so that we don’t get into a scrape. We’ll find it in a minute.” The preacher continued ids prayer, and the surprise of the members grew to wonder us they listened to the long continued invocation of Rev. Mr. Bagby. Finally the missing book was found and the clerk nudged the chaplain, who brought his lengthy prayer to a somewhat abrupt end. BRUiN'S ACUTE GASTRITIS. It \V»9 the Result of u Meal of Dynamite. Thomas Miline, a New Yorker, who was visiting friends at Binghamton, started with them on his first bear hunt the other day, says tiie St. Louis GlobeDemocrat. Footprints were traced through a patch of woods into a glen, where they became partly obscured. The ravine was a rocky wall, about 20 feet high, and near by two Italians were at work excavating for a railroad switch to l>e used iu the transfer of logs to the main line. They were preparing to thaw out a quantity of dynamite for blasting purposes. Tiie hunters U ft and returned later, when one of tho Italians accused them of stealing the dynamite they were preparing to thaw. There was a rustling in the underbrush on the bank high above, and the shaggy hide of the long-sought bear came into sight. Miline emptied both barrels into the brute’s head. Tiie bear lunged heavily forward and tumbled over the bank. His full was followed by u terrific explosion. The hunters, when they examined the remains, or fragments, of the bear, discovered that he had been literally blown to pieces. It is supposed that he came upon the dynamite that the workmen had prepared to thaw, and finding it sweeet and not unpalatable swallowed tiie whole of it. His internal heat had thawed the dynamite, and in falling he struck a rock, causing the explosion. Several windows in a neighboring the shock. DU MAURIER’S FAMOUS LABEL. II® Drevr the Denier* That Adorn* Apollinari* Dottles. Rarely does it happen that the most familiar work of a well-known artist, seen by millions of people and recognized everywhere in the civilized world, goes without the signature of (lie artist himself, and is not thought of by more than a handful of people as his drawing, says the New York Mail pnd Express. Yet this is the case with a creation of no less a person than George du Maurier, and the artistic work in question is the picture of the bubbling spring which decorates the label of every bottle of n|iolIinaris

water.

That the author anil illustrator of “Trilby” should have drawn the design on a mineral water bottle may seem strange, but the explanation Mr. Du Maurier has himself given. A great friend of the artist is a principal stockholder in the Apollinaris company, and when the water was first placed on sale ho was in doubt ns to tiie style of label. Mr. Du Maurier heard of the dilemma, and at once volunteered to draw the design, which lias since made tho circuit of the globe. RETRIEVER’S TRICK. The Do** IIbn u Most fnlijiio Way of CatchI117 Rats. The following story is of a retriever dog belonging to tiie housekee|>er of u newspaper ofliceon the Strand, says the New York Sun: “Rata are constantly caught on the premises, and the dog, fully aware of their habits, evinces such ability that his intelligence is quite worthy of record. Last Sunday he was heard harking loudly, calling for assistance in th'e the compositors’ room, where ther;‘ is a rat-hole in the floor. The dog hud watched two fine rats come up through their hole, and immediately they were fairly nway from their point of entry lie rushed up and sat on the hole to cut off their means of rctnat, barking forthwith for help. Nothing would induce him to budge till a board was brought and placed over the hole, when he started in pursuit, and soon dispatched the intruders. Ilia master assures me that the dog originated this ingenious method of procedure, and that he has practiced it with like success on several other occasions.’’ Champion of England. The office of champion of England was instituted in the reign of Richard II. On tiie sovereign's coronation day lie rode up to Westminster hall on a white horse, proclaimed the title of the new monarch, and, throwing down a gauntlet or iron glove, challenged any who dared to dispute his right to tho throne to simple combat.

A MECHANICAL HORROR. The Hour of the Day Struck Off hy CrinUlng skeletons. "Machinery" is a monthly journal published at Johannesburg,South Afri ea. In a recent number is an account of a most remarkable clock belonging to a Hindoo prince which the editor thinks the strangest piece of machinery in India. Near tho dinhof an ordinarylooking clock is a large gong hung on I>oles, while underneath, scattered on the ground, is a pile of artificial skulls, ribs, legs and arms, the whole n uni beof hone-s in tho pile being equa’ to the number of hones in 12 human skeletons. When the hands of the clock indicate the hour of one, the number of bones needed to form n complete human skeleton come together with a Miap; by some mechanical contrivance the skeleton springs up. seizes a mallet and. walking up to the gong, strikes oim blow. This finished, it returns to the pile and again falls to pieces. Whin two o’eloek, two skeletons get up and strike, while at the hours of noon and midnight the entire heap spring up in the sha|>e of 12 skeletons and strike, eu«h one after the other, a blow on the gong, and then fall to pieces, as lieforc. SLEPT ON THE “SIDEBOARD.” A Green Countryman’N First Experience with w Folding Hod. An old, gray-whiskereij man, who had lived all his life, on a small farm near Batavia, stopped nt the hotel the other evening.says the Buffalo Express. He said he wanted a room for one night. He was sent up to Ihe third floor. Later in the evening he went out, and didn't come back till midnight. He Lad evidently been enjoying himself. His breath smelled of whisky. lie went up to ids room, and that was the last seen of him until early in the morning, when a boy went to call him for his train. The boy got no answer when he knocked on the door, and he opened it and walked in. The folding-bed had not been let down. The i»oy had to look about for a moment or two before he discovered the old man. Then lie heard a husky voice from up near the celling somewhere. He looked up. and there was the guest curled up on lop of the bed, rubbing Ins eyes. He was fully dressed, with the exception of his big cowhide boots, which were standing on the floor. “Say, mister,” inquired the boy, “why didn’t yer get into bed?” "B’gosb!" shouted tiie man, angrily, “rhere Ain't no lied. Here I’ve been curled up on top of this here sideboard all night without a wink of sleep. Ain't this u nice way to treat a man? Hey?” INDIANS COPY CUSTOMS. They Follow tho Lines Marked by White Mon. The. Alaska Indians, after learning many of the vices of white men, soon begin to live Hire them ns fur as pos siblc and convenient, says tho Bitts burgh Dispatch. Their one-story huts soon give way to two and three-story structures, and instead of building helter-skelter wherever there’s a clear ing, they erect their dwellings in straight rows, carefully observing tiie building line. When an Indian who came bur]; from the states spread the news that the houses of the white men in Ivg citiea were nil numbered, the fashion of numbering their own houses spread like wildfire. The Indians would pay no at tention to the numerical values, but would select some number that pleased the eye. The first houre in the Indian quarter of Sitka is numbered 200, while the one next door is 400, the third 6,800, and then 480 nnd 1,300. The numbers which are most generally popular arc those which end in the two nai.ghts.

A Killarney tourist, to tiie story goes, was assured by a guide that the echo on Loch (Jill was worth hearing. So off w ent the tourist to hear it, and hired two men to row him out, accomplishing the transaction so swiftly that there was no time for them to arrange for tiie usual echo to lie. in attendance. In despair they broke an oar, and one swan ashore to fetch another. The echo began. “Good morrow,” cried the tourist. "Good morrow,” said theecho, with n brogue. "Fine day, God bless it," cried the tourist. "Foinc day, God bless it," said theecho. "Will you have a drink?” cried the tourist. "Begorra, I will!" roared theecho.
