- * ^ y WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A FIX. | I A Young Man's Ruse to Find Out if His Cirl Really Cared for Him. The young man in love is an inter- i esting creature. Given a sympathetic listener, he will tell many things in a voice that is awed, because what he is telling seems so holy to him. Such a young man said: "I couldn't feel sure my girl really cared for me, so I wrote i myself this telegram: 'Will you go as accountant for a tea firm in China at salary of $60 per week? Start Thursday. Answer at once.' I signed the name of a fictitious firm and showed the girl the telegram as soon as I got to her house that night. She read it, and then she looked at me gravely. 'What do you think about it?' she asked. 'I don't know what to think,' said I. She mused a little while. 'Do you want to go?' she asked me. 'Ii it wasn't for you, I'd want to go,' I answered. Then she said, in a faint voice: 'Do whatever you think best.' 'I'd go, if it wasn't for you,' I replied. She sat very still, looking at the fire, j Then all of a sudden she began to cry. 'Oh. don't go! don't go!' she wailed. j 'Don't go and leave me all alone. What would I do?what would I do? without you?' So I told her I wouldn't go. It is a grand thing to have a girl care for you so much as that. I know that this girl loves me truly." "If I had been the girl," said the young man's listener, "I should havo said: 'Accept the offer, and we'll be married i at once and start for China together,' " j The young man grinned. "Gosh! I hadn't thought of that," he admitted. "Wouldn't I have been in a fix, ' though, if she had said that?" Poles Frozen in Position. ' The telegraph line now in course of construction from a point on Norton t sound, Alaska, through the gold mine camps on the Upper Yukon river to connect with the Canadian landline system in Alberta province presents i some curious difficulties to engineers. : There being no wood in the country, ! steel poles are employed similar to . those used for the trolley wires in Brooklyn and winter is selected as the season for work, because these poles can be most easily sledded over the ground and ice of the frozen rivers . r and lakes at that time. Even in sum- ! mer the ground for a depth of twelve inches down is frozen solid, and in setting a pole the operation consists simply in blasting a hole in the frozen soil, sticking in a pole and pouring in water. This freezes, and, unless the climate of Alaska changes, will remain frozen indefinitely, holding the pole firmly and solidly. It is expected that this line will be in operation i through to Cape Nome early next summer.?New York Sun. gS - ; ' The Boston Transcript earnestly adr vocates the purchase of the Calaveras sequcias by the Federal Government.

Congress, which feels that; it can afford to buy old battlefields and sprinkle the country with public buildings like pepper from a pepper pot, ought not to turn a deaf ear to the plea of the Californians to save these - trees, many of which are at least 6,000 years old." ^ \ I1 jfKj^HiBB ?vSi$M I LSL, 1^ bP^*Kv ,BHB|j^TK^JWHcSV!

Their Present Condition Contrasted With That of a Century Aeo. The agricultural laborers of to-day are certainly better clad, more luxuriously fed, have far more leisure, are better educated, and are rapidly becoming better housed than their forefathers a century ago. And if these are the main constituents of happiness, then they are happier. On the other hand, their grandfathers and great-grandfathers were much more gay and light hearted than the modern; they enjoyed their lives much more than their descendants do; they had incomparably more laughter, more amusement, mere real delight in the labor of their hands; there was more love among them and less hate. The agricultural laborer had a bad drunken time between twenty or thirty years ago, and he has been growing out of that. A village sot is now a very rare bird, as rare as he was a hundred years ago. Then the laborer could not afford a drunken debauchhe had not the wherewithal. His master. the farmer, did drink, and some times deeply in the days when he was prospering. And for a few years after the rise of the laborer's wages, some twenty-five years ago, the laborer was the publican's friend. But hard drinking has been steadily declining, and the habitual drunkard is looked upon as a coarse brute to be avoided. As to other vices, things are pretty much as they were; I am afraid rather worse than better. Perhaps the saddest characteristic of the men of the present, as compared with the men of the past, is that the men of the past were certainly more self-dependent?I do not meau independent, in the sense in which tnat word is used now?more resourceful; more kindly, courteous, and contented with their lot than their descendants I think I know something about the English peasantry of a century or two gone by. I think I know just a little about the agricultural laborer nowadays. I bear him a genuine love, and feel with him a cordial sympathy, an.! there is no knowing any men or any class of men whom we do not love ami sympathize with. But as to the agricultural laborer of the future, 1 am sometimes inclined to doubt seriously whether before another century has ended there will be any such thing as an agricultural laborer to know.?

A Statement Issued by the Department of Agriculture Ke.pcctln; Grade.4 ant! Valued?Gnat Meat Is Much lletter Food Than Mutton ? Tastes Tike Venison. The department of agriculture annually receives thousands of letters of j inquiry concerning Angora goats, and j in view of the interest taken in the subject Mr. D. E. Salmon, chief of the bureau of animal industry, recent ly made some investigations on the Lubject. It is estimated, he says, that there are about 400,000 Angora goats in the United States, and that their annual production of fleece is over a million pounds. The history of the Angora goat in the United States. Mr. Salmon says, has been marred by the carelessness or indifference of occasional writers for the press, who have often been inaccurate as to dates or facts, and also by others who^e interests have doubtless lc-d them into exaggerations. The real facts of its history, however, are so few and so simple as to prompt that venerable breeder. William M. Landrum, to say that they would make but a very small book. During the administration of President Polk the Sultan of Turkey requested of him that he recommend some one who would experiment in the culture of cotton in Turkey. Accordingly, Dr. James B. Davis of Columbia. S. C.. was rec ommended, and he received the appointment. The work done by Dr. Davis appeared to be highly gratifying to the Sultan, and so. upon his return, in 1849, the Sultan, desiring to reciprocate the courtesy of the President, presented him with nine of the choicest goats in his dominion. Col. Richard-Peters, writing in 1876, says of these animals: "These doubtless were selected from the herds of Angora, a district of country lying among the Taurus mountains, which traverse Asiatic Turkey, and which derives its name from its principal city, situated about 200 miles east of Constantinople." It does not seem, therefore, that Dr. Davis encountered any great difficulty in securing this first importation of Angora goats into this country. "Of the nine Angoras imported by Dr. Davis, seven were does and two were bucks. Besides these, according to Col. Peters, there came in the same lot one pure-bred Thibet doe. several head of crosses between the Angora and Thibet goats, and quite a number of grade does bred from the common short-haired ewes of the country and his Angora bucks. "The soft undercoat of the Cashmere is known as 'pashum,' and is the product from which the famous Cashmere shawl was made. Mr. Wm. M. Landrum, who was probably the first in this country to discover that our so-called Cashmere goat was the Angora instead, through investigation made about 1861, also states that there is a difference between the Cashmere shawl and tho Paisley shawl. These are often referred to as being the same shawl. While the filling of both shawls was of pashum, the chain of the latter was made from the kid fleece of the Angora. Pashum is combed i out in the soring, and is worth, when ' cleaned, in the country where it is produced, from $1.50 to $2 per pound. "A large class of people in some way have become possessed of the opinion that the goat is practically a useless animal. They do not reach conclusions upon investigations, however, and do not discriminate between the different breeds. To them a goat is a 'goat,' and there the argument ends. Investigations prove that the Angora goats are not only classed among the most useful of the domestic animals, and have been so classed for thousands of years, but their usefulness is manifested in a variety of ways. The fleece, called 'mohair.' furnishes some of the finest of fabrics among ladies' goods and is used in various other manufactures; their habit of browsing enables the farmer in a wooded locality to use them to help in subjugating the forest; their flesh is exceedingly delicate and nutritious; the milk, though not so abundant as with the milch breed of goats, is richer than cow's milk; their tanned skins, though inferior in quality to the skins of the common goat, are used for leather; their pelts make the neatest of rugs and robes; they are excellent pets for children; a few of them in a flock of sheep are a protection from wolves and dogs; their manure is noticeably helpful to the grass which follows them after they have cleaned away the underbrush. These are all vital subjects of varying degrees of importance, and will be considered here under appropriate heads. 1 1 1 U1 ~ "in tnose locanues wuere vtuuauie land is completely subdued by brush the goats are considered of more value for the purpose of clearing it than for their mohair or meat. They thus become one of the farmer's important tools. Their value in this respect must be measured by the value of the land which they will render cultivable. It is said that in Oregon, where Chinamen had been paid as high as *20 an acre for clearing off brush goats had done the work even better. Sprouts will spring up behind men's work, but goats will keep them down until they cease to appear. True, the goats require more time than meD. but their work is better. "One of the first questions to be considered by a man who is about to embark in stock raising of any kind is the markets for his surplus. This question is first because it is the principal one and all important. The one who proposes to begin with a flock of thoroughbred or high-grade Angoras, such as will yield merchantable mohair, will not need to consider markets, as the increase will be employed to produce mohair; but a large number of flocks will be built up in the future, as they have been in the past, by the use of dees of the common^ breed. It will be ascertained that the fleece of low grades is barely worth the cost of clipping it; that the skin is not so valuable for leather as that of the common goat; and that, as a rug or robe, the pelts are not so valuable as those of the higher grades. Tharnfnro if thorp ic tn ho anv nrrtfif 1UV1 ViViVf " v"vi v vv vv/ 1" v"v from this part of a flock, there must be a market for the meat. "The reason goats are not seen oftener in the market reports of receipts and shipments is that they pass as sheep. It is stated, however, that increasing numbers are seen in the larger markets. In the Union stock yards of Chicago as many as 8000 were received in week last year. While the goats pass as sheep, they are also sold to consumers as sheep. The difference is very slight in some places. In Kansas City, for instance, the sheep bring about one-half a cent per pound more than goats. The packers buy them as goats and sell them as sheep i in the form of dressed meat or j canned." In one week recently 8000 goats were received at the Union stock yards in Chicago. They were slaughtered and sold, and yet no butcher bought anything but "sheep" and no j housewife served anything at dinner I but lamb or mutton. The agricultural department wrote to many goat raisers and asked them if they had any difficulty at all in selling goats for food. No joke for j which Billy was ever the butt had more genuine humor than had this extract from a letter written in answer to the Question by Thomas H. Mastin j of Kansas City: j "You ask if I have any difficulty in disposing of goats for meat. None at all. The packers buy goats as well as sheep. They make a difference of i about half a cent a pound in favor of sheep when buying, and as they never sell goats they save that difference in i selling." The government's goat expert declares that goat moat is much better food than mutton, and that nothing except the prejudice against the goat born of the paragraphers' jokes prevents there being a demand for goat's flesh as food and a willingness to pay a higher price for it than for mutton. If this publication of Uncle Sam. which really should be called "In I Praise of the Goat." is widely read and believed in there doubtless will soon ! be an extraordinary demand for goat flesh and no one need yearn in vain at any time of the year for a bit of | venison. It is the opinion of half a dozen goat authorities quoted that Billy's flesh, when Billy is properly fed, cannot be distinguished from ven- j ison. In fact, some of the enthusiasts j say that goat is gamier and better than deer, provided the animal gets j its entire subsistence by browsing. One correspondent of the agricul- j tural department living in New Mexico I tells of a certain St. Louis community ! which ate Angora "venison"' and I never knew that it was killed by the knife of a butcher instead of by a rifle ball of the hunter. Another correspondent tells of a woman who kept a boarding-house in 1 the country for summer sojourners ' from New York, and who fed them i regularly twice a week on goat meat ; and was complimented by her board- : ers on the prime quality of her mutton. One Texas enthusiast says: "Anybody who has ever tasted a roasted I or barbecued piece of Angora mutton j will find it better than any meat he ; ever before ate." Still another goat advocate says that the flesh is 50 percent better than mutton, and yet it sells to the butchers j for less money, so mucft for prejudice. In view of these encomiums it is not so hard to forgive one's butcher for delivering an occasional bit of Billy in lieu of a ram. Queen Victoria's Tartan. Early in her reign Queen Victoria adopted a tartan, or, to be exact, she resumed one, for by way of James I. of England she is entitled to use one. Accordingly, the royal household disports itself in the dress plaid of the Stuarts when it holds forth at Balmoral, and it has now become so thor- ! oughly identified with the present English sovereign that it is called the Victoria tartan. This is the well known blue, green, white and yellow plaid mounted on a white ground, instead of the vivid red that is usually j seen. To complicate the matter of tartans j further, each clan was likely to have j a hunting plaid, a dress plaid, a mourning plaid, and the- plaid that , was worn exclusively by the chief and his Immediate family. Then, too, if you happen to be a Cameron, for example, and think it an easy matter to betake yourself to a shop and demand the Cameron plaid, you had better be certain whether you are a Cameron of ; Lochiel or a Cameron of Erracht j Similarly, you may be a MacDonald of ! Clanranald, of Sleat, or of Staffa, It will make an immense difference in the kind of tartan you get, and it Is j not to be expected that a Campbell of Argyll would be seen in the tartan of the Campbells of Cawdor, or in that ^ riATy*nV\Allfi T AII/1 Aim TKAi?n Ul LUC vaiupuuia ui uvuuuuu. ?. uvi ^ is, by the way, at least one of the large ! shops in New York that always has j the correct tartans imported from Scotland in stock.

Henry Karnes, a well known teamster of Oil City. Pa., killed 95 snakes in less than 10 minutes near Horse j creek one forenoon, and it is believed that this is the county's record for < snake-killing exploits, although wheu ' the facts are known the feat does not j seem so remarkable, but that is one of j the features of snake stories. Mr. j Karnes was loading stone on 0. H. Strong's farm in the Horse creek dis- ! trict, and took his wife and "several other ladies with him from here to { pick berries. Hearing a scream from his wife, he hurried to her. She declared that she had come across a rattlesnake. Mr. Karnes made a search ; and found a garter snake was the cause of the alarm, but it was a mon- I ster, four feet one inch in length and big around. He killed the reptile and discovered that inside of it were 94 ! young ones, ranging from three to eight inches in length.

There is a lean tigress in the Central Park menagerie who spends a part of the day beating her head against the iron bars of her cage in a vain attempt to spring upon one of the keepers. Ordinarily the animal Is quiet enough. It is only when this keeper passes that she ceases to be a purring cat and becomes a fiend incarnate. The other morning the tigress was in an extremely bad temper. When her fancied enemy stuck a mop in through the bars to clean her cage, she sprang at him. growling in thunderous bass." Nearly everbody in the crowd stepped back involuntarily. The keeper placed an iron bar in the cage at the great cat's feet and went on with his work, while the animal snarled in impotent rage and drew back her upper lip over two gleaming white fangs. "She doesn't seem to be fond of you," ventured a bystander. "No, there isn't much love lost between us," replied the keeper.

A day or two after she arrived I had to punish her and she's never gotten over it. She watches me all day out of the corner of her eye and every time I go by the cage she makes a jump. I suppose she thinks she'll get me some time. If she does I might as well say good by." While the man talked t.he tigress looked at him with hate plainly stamped on her face.
