When the pretense of cattle buy ing ended at the Chicago stock yards April 30th, 10,000 cattle re mained in the pens unsold. In twenty years such a number had not been left over. The buyers of the packers told the commission men and shippers that until people commenced again to eat meat they would purchase only the cattle necessary to fill the dwin died butcher orders. No animals, they said, would be put into the coolers. The bottom instantly dropped out of the cattle market, and the hog and sheep markets tumbled in sym pathy. Tho price of cattle fell 15 cents to 26 conls on the 100 pounds; that of hogs 10 cents and 16 cents, and that of sheep about 10 cents. At these reduced prices the pack ers divided about 8,000 cattle among themselves. Having supplied their immediate needs, they refused to bid further and left the pens. The angry shippers charged that they were the victims of a conspira cy. They declared the packers had deliberately trapped them into ship ping by offering higher prices, and that having got the live-stock with in reach they had purposely plotted to break the market. The cattle left over will go “stale, in trade parlance, and to-morrow, under the best conditions, will sell much lower than the market price. Heads of the big packing houses are being bombarded with threaten ing letters from all parts of the country. ..... Matrimonial Disremembrance. Samoan Costumes. now York Tribune. In the south seas dresses are made with a hatchet, a club and a pot of paint. Every housewife is her own robe and habit maker. When she feels the need of a new gown, she goes and chops down a tree. When her husband needs a new suit, she chops down another tree. That is easy, for men and women are clad exactly alike—a plain fold of cloth caught about the waist and hanging loosely to the knee or shin. The races inhabiting the islands of the tropical Pacific are almost alone in having no idea of the loom and the various arts of the spinner and weaver. This lack is undoubtedly due to the natural provision of ma terial which renders a woven cloth unnecessary to this primitive people. The only fabric used in that part of The world is a, crude, tough paper inude of bast. The tree from which the ir aterial is derived is the paper mulberry, or Broussonetia papyrife- ra, which is grown in plantations under the sole charge of women and is also found wild in all parts of the islands. In archipelagoes so highly advanced as Samoa a^d Tonga, where women have none of the coarser work to do, the entire cave of the mulberry plantations rests with the women of each village The trees are planted closely to insure a spindling growth without lateral branches. The plant will grow from seed. In such a climate there is no difficulty about getting things to grow, but experience has shown that better results follow the planting of twigs from the sturdier wild trees. In about three years from planting the tree will be in the best condition for the clothmakers. In that time it will attain a height of twelve feet or more,and the trunk will have a uniform diameter of rath er less than two inches. About four A colored man, about 30 years of age, drove up to the depot with load of baled cotton, says the Gal veston News, and he had just begun to unload when an old, gray-haired I feet of the trunk is waste and not negro with a bad limp came down the street and shouted at him: “Say, go] pusson dere!” “Hello, Uncle Joel” saluted the other. “Now, den, what sorter man be yo’?” demanded the old man as he reached the wagon. “Hu! What yo* mean by dat?” “I mean, sah, is yo’ a man of hon- ah or not?” “Of co’se I ar\ Why, ole man, yo’s all exoited dis mawnin’. What’s de mafctah?” “Sam Johnson, I’se got a darter Lindal” replied Uncle Joe, as he straightened up and waived his arms about. “Yes, of co’se. Yes, sah, yo’s got a darter Linda, an’ she’s a pow’ful fine gal.” “Last Sunday night, Sam John son, yo’ axed dat gal to marry yo’!” “Hu, hu! Sunday night? Lemme see. Say, I reckon I did.” “Of oo’se yo’ did! She said she’d do it, an’ de marriage was set fur dis mawnin’ at 10 o’clock.” “Hu! Shool Ten o’clock dis mawnin’! Why, I reckon it was, Uncle Joe. Yes, we was to be mar ried dis mawnin’.” “But yo’ ain’t dar, sah.” “Dat’s a fack. Jist clean slipt my mind.” “But what yo’ gwine to do, sah— what yo’ gwine to do?” shouted the old man as he danced around. “What’s I gwine ter do? Am Lin da all ready an’ de preacher dar?” “Yes, sah.” “Den yo’ come around heah an’ hang on to dat off mewl an’ hold him stiddy, an’ I’ll run ober an’ marry Linda an’ be back heah in ten minutes.

The Force of Cyclones. Uareful estimates of the force of a cyolone and the energy required to keep a full Hedged hurricane in ac tive operation reveal the presence of a power that makes the mightiest efforts of men appear as nothing in comparison. A force fully equal to over 400,000,000 horsepower was es timated as developed in a West In dian cyclone. This is about fifteen times the power that can be devel oped by the means within the range of man’s capabilities during the same time. Were steam, water, windmills and the strength of all men and all animals combined they could not at all approach the tre mendous force exerted.—Ex.
