"In the Shorthorn show the class of cattle will be the highest In the United States." said H. D. Wisdom, livestock superintendent at the ex position. "It will be a show of great iiuallty and one that people cannot afford to miss. The Shorthorn show in general will be equal to any show ever held in America of this breed of cattle. "In the Holsteln class." continued Hie superintendent, "the Hazelwood Farm company of Spokane, has en tered 20 head of show stock' chosen from TO head which the company purchased In Wisconsin. These are the best of the class to be found. They will compete Hgalnst the world' champion herd of the Pierce Land & Stock company of California, a herd which Is wothout question the finest the world. The Pierce Land & Hie End of tho Kataliilln. Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 16. The Katahdiu, the famous rain constructed after designs made by Admiral Am men, and which for a long time has been lying idle at the League Island navy yard, is gradually fulling t i pieces. The navy department Is In a quandary concerning the ship's future and It Is doubtful whether the ;.00 required to make the most necessary repairs on the ship will bo allowed. It was l'i'MUecl early that the Katalvlin was a fa'lure and It was decided that as little as possible would be done w ith the ship. As nobody wants the ship and nothing can be made of it, It Is not considered wise to expend any money for keeping It afloat. For that reason it Is quite probable that the Katahdln, at one time a famos ship, will be al lowed to crumble to pieces in the graveyard of the navy at League Island. THE LASTING BRICKS.

Besides these two herds. John B. Irvin, of Wisconsin, who. won at St. Louis last year, and P. A. Frakes, of Oregon, who also owns some St. Louis prize winners, will show at the fair. "In Jerseys, there will be shown a fine and select herd from the Hazel Fern farm owned by the W. S. Lndd estate. This is one of the finest herds of Jerseys in the world, and the stock sent to the show ring will be the very finest specimens of the breed procur able anywhere. In competition with the Hazel Fern herd will be the herd of Dr. Still, of Missouri, which was prominent among first prize winners at St. Louis last year, and which has been recuperated In size and merit.

The meaning of geranium Is "crane's bill,'' and If you notice the seed pods of a geranium you will see that they do look like the long bill of a crane. Tlie touch-me-not gets its name from a peculiarity of the seed pod, too, but not a peculiarity of appearance. It Is the pod you must not touch, for If you do it will hurst, and out will fly the seeds.-Bt. Nlch- A Blood Backing Earthworm.
