The Tounir Cow.
Some cows mav be naturallv vicious.
but nearly all viciousness is the result
of ill treatment Calving is a severe
nervous strain and leaves the cow
nervous and irritable. If the calf is
her first one she is very much afraid
that it will "be injured: in this she is
like all younor mothers. Milkinc is an
ntirely new operation to her: likelv
drawing milk from her udder gives her
pain, uer condition, her fears, and
the operation, all call for the exercise
of the greatest patieuce and gentleness.
mil instead, her solicitude for her calf
resented, if she shows shyness when
t is attempted to milk l.er an opera
tion which she knows nothing of and
which her instincts to nourish her
offspring would cause her not to sub
mi t to readily she is scolded; if the:
pain caused by themilk being drawn
leads her to kick, she is kicked in
return. Thus her fright and nervous
ness are increased and soon she is
angered. If this treatment is contin
ued she is made vicious ; and we have
never known of a heifer beinir "con
quered" in this way. After her tor
mentor has worn himself out she is yet
ready to kick, or to use her boras if
need be. It does not do better to tie
her head or to put her between poles ;
thi only frightens her the more. Her
temper is ruined : and a cow. no mat
ter how liberal a milker she mav be.
is fit for the shambles only if she is
vicious. It is no rare thing for man
to throw $50 to the wind by-striking a
young cow.

THE GREAT TARPON.
A Florida Kportsaaaa Tails. Something
A boat This Carney rials.
As a vaulter the tarpon is unequalled,
and his aerial feats must be seen to be
appreciated. On one occasion my
friend G. and a comj. anion were row
ing through Salt river (a tributary of
the Homosasssl in a sixteen-foot White
hall boar. A tarpon was sunning him
self in the gras- and, being disturbed,
made for deep water. Finding the
water shallow and the boat in the way,
he endeavored to clear it at an angle.
The head of the fish came into contact
with the side of G's companion, which
deflected him from hU course, and he
passed nnder one of the boat seats. A
pockft knife was used "to settle his
hah." but it would not penetrate the
ivory-like armor of the fish. Oars were
used to dispatch the prisoner, but it
was found that if he were interfered
with the boat would suffer from the
vigorous blows of his head and taiL G.
seated himself in the stem and his com
panion in the bow, and for the time the
tish was awarded the post of honor un
molested. When peace was declared
the gentlemen resumed their oars, but
the one who deflected the silver king in
bis course found that he could not
"paddle hw own canoe." for several of
his ribs were fractured. G. rowed the
boat to Jones' Landing, on the Horao
ssssa, and the tarpon was weighed,
tipping the scales at 153 pound. The
above statement is not in the least ex
aggerated. Among other instances cited, one in
which the captain of the Water Lily
suffered is remarkable. The captain
was seated on a chair in the center of
the forward deck with his back to the
pilot house on the steamer while en
route from Jacksonville to Maysport.
As the boat was passing St. John's
bluff a frisky tarpon leaped from the
water, clearsjd the guards, and landed
in the captain's lap. The captain was
knocked over by the shock, but the
briny vaulter was secured, weighing
sixty-eight pounds.
The capture of a tarpon with a hook
and line is a difficult undertaking.
Every summer ma iy are hooked, bat
few are landed. "I have had on many
occasions." writes Dr. Kenworthy,
"these fish seize my b.tit and run with
lightning-like rapidity for twenty or a
hundred yards then leap into the air
and shake their heads, like a terrier
shaking a rat, and expel the bait. The
colored gentry have learned by ex
perience never to interfere with a tar
pon while in his playful moodj, for one
of their number, while fishing in Tront
creek a few years ago. had the sinker
thrown at his head by a frisky member
of the family. The fish had taken the
bait and rushed off only a few rods,
when he vaulted into (he air and threw
the bait, sinker, and all clear into the
the boat, striking the man on his head.
He never attempted the experiment
again.
The able writer continues in this
strain to give his experiences, and final
ly gives a complete description of a
barbarous and unsportsmanlike rig for
the capture of this noble fih. He uses
piano wire, and makes three joints six
nches long and three or four inches in
length. He solders the joints, tins them
to prevent rust, and attaches a brass
swivel two and a half inches in length.
Two books are soldered in each link.
and two lines of honks are presented
when completed. Plenty of fine copper
wire is used m wrapping the hooks and
links together, and with solder the
union is perfect, ihe bait used is a
mullet cut from head to taiL Each link
is attached to the b.tit by fine twine.
and an attractive bait is offered with
hooks partially concealed and an invis
ible snood. This tackling possesses
great strength, for sharks nine feet in
length hare been captured with the rig.

There is a well-dressed, intelligent-
looking, rather pretty woman. She
got on the train away back at Louis

ago. She was chewing a lamp of
swee gam when she got on the car.
She has been chewing ever since.
She is working away at it now. She
is no child; she is forty years, if she is
a day. But she wads and crn dies and
champs that gum like a buy of ten, .
She talks all the time. too. Oace ia

Among the L los of Western China
it is customary for the bride on the
