the cowboy, TOO. COES. Interest Ine* Facts About, the Skill of the Hertlameu—lVtiat an Expert Can Do. ‘Hie cattle trade in America is rapidly changing hands,” said a Southei n man the other day. “The cowboy of the prairie is giving way to the stable boy of the farm, and the wild cattle of the South and West are beiu<r handled, fed, stabled and curried into domesticity, and are being bred more to milk than horns. The cowboy and the herdsman came in with ranch life, and were preceded by the cattlemen or cowmen, who let their cattle run wild, rounding them up once a year. They were shipped to Cuba from" the Southern territory in thousands fifty years ago, for then America supplied" the Cuban beef market almost exclusively. * “There are plenty of small cattle owners yet in the South who have herds of from 100 to 800 head, but the wire fence of the immigrant is cuttim' up the ranges, the cattlemen's sons are going into stores and offices, and it is probable,after the present generation of them dies off, that this country will never see their like again. “They are a peculiar set of men, living on little farms were a few vegetables are raised. Their houses comfortless, and the families in cold weather gather about pine knot fires

The men are splendid riders and good rille shots. The children fish, shoot or lounge in the sun till they are old enough to get into some town, where they quickly pick up the ways of civilization and leave their former wild life. “Au old cowman can do things in his own line little short of the marvelous. To say that he can look a young steer in the face at branding time, and be able to tell where he can find it when it is old enough for beef, is misleading in as far as his mode of ascertaining where it is concerned, but it is not any more surprising than what he really does. “Texas cattle are as wild as deer. Corral one, lasso, brand and turn him loose, and he cuts the wind open, his tail stands out stiff, his neck and head are thrown aloft and he bounds forth—away and away, across the prairie, through the woods, swamps, underbpish, everything—till he has left his tormentors far behind and has wearied himself with running, lie thinks that lie is free, but as the old cowman leans on the pine rails of the iuclosure he thinks to himself: “‘He’ll be tit for beef in the fall,’ and

If it is mosquito time you can drive them into a wood and they will come out on the otuer side, but if it is hot weather and about midday they will scatter and stray in the woods. “A bull will not let his herd walk after the track of another herd. His feelings of jealousy must be respected, or there will be a split in the procession. The old bulls ami cows and the young calves form the nucleus around which the gregarious instincts of the animals attract them. If. therefore, a few young heifers or lively steers break from the herd and go galloping back to the prairie, to pursue them is folly. They will conic back if let alone and bring their tails behind

them. ‘•This lore is almost iutermiuable. An old bull will take the herd to feeding grounds that ait his declining ap^pctite and Idling teeth. A young bull ^vill choose coarser pastures, where the gYass is luxuriant, but not so tender, and an old cowman knows just about where they will all be any time of the year, and in all weathers if they are alive, and he can saddle his horse and ride thirty miles to a bunch of cattle that he hasn't seen tor nine months.”— N.

Fishermen over a large part of Europe always kill the fish as soon as they take them out of the water, and do so upon the ground that it is better for the flesh of the fish that it be killed at once. The monkey-wrench is not called so on account of its fancied or actual resembla ice to a monkey, or because it is a handy tool to ••monkey” with, but simply because it is the invention of Charles Monckay, of Kings County, N. Y. The question of what shows the real gentleman is under discussion in the society journals. But the old, terse

definition oi the Kentuckian still abides, viz.: “A gentleman is the man who turns his back while his guest pours out the whisky.” The story from a Southern town that the Indian chief Red Cloud is really a white man is very vigorously denied by people who know the savage. He is a magnificent specimen of the Sioux warrior, and there is no cloud on his title to the reddest of red Indian blood. Vietorien Sardou, the French playwright, is entering his 66th year in robust and vigorous health. He has never been ill, and attributes his immunity from disease to the fact that he takes eight hours’ sleep every night and is never bothered by his digestion. G. E. Ryckman of Brockton, N. Y., has beat the record in grape culture, last year, and it wasn’t a good year for grapes either. From half an acre of ground he has picked 12,665 pounds of Niagaras, which he sold for $1,266.50, Os this sum, probably SI,OOO was clear profit. Can we look forward to a time when the chemist will manufacture our sugar, when the sugar cane and the beet root will cease to be planted because their products can be more cheaply manufactured from coal or wood? Results apparently as improbable have happened.

i A KIND-HEARTED DRUGGIST. I Mark Twain Tells an Interesting Story 1— of Him. Mark 1a ain was present at the bampiet of the National Wholesale Druggists' Association at its recent meeting in Washington, and in return for his dinner related the following story, given in the Pharmaceutical Era: About a thousand years ago approximately. I was apprenticed as a print<r s devil to learn the trade, in common with three other boys of about my own age. There came" to the village a long-legged individual of about nineteen, from one of the interior counties; fish-eyed, no expression, ami without the suggestion of a smile—couldn't have smiled for a salary. We took him for a fool, and thought we would try to scare him to death. We went to the village druggist and borrowed a skeleton. The skeleton didn’t belong to the druggist, but ho had imported it for the village doctor, because the doctor thought he would send away for it, having some delicacy about using—— (Laughter.) The price of the skeleton at that time was SSO. I don't know how high they go now, but probably higher, ou account of the tariff. (Laughter.) ,We borrowed the skeleton about 9 o’clock nt ni.rhf n».l ..... «1.......

for the first year, clothing ami board for the second year and both of them for the third year. But the druggist forgave us on’the spot, but he said he would like us to let him have our skeletons when we were done with them. There couldn’t be anything fairer than that; we spouted our skeletons and wont away uncomfortable. But from that time the druggist’s prosperity ceased. That was one of the most unfortunate speculations he ever went into. After some years one of the boys went and got drowned; that was one skeleton gone, ami I tell you the druggist felt pretty badly about it. A few years after another of the boys went up in a balloon. He was to get $5 an hour for it. When he gets back they will be owing him $1,000,000. The druggist's property was decreasing right along. After a few more years the third

bov tried an experiment to see if a dynamite charge would go. It went, all right. Tliey foumi some of him, perhajts a vest-pocketful; still it was enough to show that some more of that estate had gone. The druggist was < r etting along in years,and he commenced to correspond with me. I have been the best correspondent he has. He is the sweetest-natured man I ever saw; always mild and polite, and never wants to hurry me at all. I <ret a letter from him everv now and then ami he never refers to my form as a skeleton; he says, ‘Well, how is it getting along—is it in good repair?’ I got a night-rate message from him recently—said that he was getting old and the property was depreciating in value, and if I could let him have a [

part of it now he would give time on the balance. (Laughter). Think of the graceful way in which he does ’ everything—the generosity of it all. You cannot find a finer character than that. It is the gracious characteiistic of all druggists. So, out of my heart, I wish you all prosperity and every happiness.” UNCLE SAM’S CONDITION POw DER will cure Distempers, Coughs, Colds, Fevers, and most of the diseases of which Horses, Cattle, Sheep.
