A happy thought saved him. He threw the frenzied animal a package of QUAKER OATS. He was saved. Quaker Oats is good for men and “Taggers” too.

P —— LASSOING A BOA IN JAVA, A Scrpent Twenty Fect Long Cap- tured Alive by Mala After about an hour of crawling and pushing through, our m en suddenly stoppoed and began to point ahead, chat- tering and gesticulating, says a writer in Forest and Stream. Looking the way they pointed we suw in a tree an immenso boa constrictor waving his head to and fro, with his os glitter- ing in the sun. My friend said: “Cet back quick; ho 18 preparing to jump!” aud wo did so as fast as possible, After cousulting a fow mom- ents the Muiuys cautiously advanced with o lasso, which, hy a dexterous throw, caught the snake around the neck, and, jumping bebind a tree, tightened it on him, He thrashed and pulled, and it was ull the four Malays could do to keep from being drawn nenr enough for him to crush them, and once or twice itseemed us though he would got them, We could have shot him at fin but they wanted to capture him alive. After awhile, by pulling and choking him, he gave upand they pullec him down from th 3 a big fellow, twenty et long and very lurge around, They (e great strength, and this one , I wus assured, could ensily swallow a gout Ho was looking probably for leopards, that ave plenty there, living principally on monkeys, ind the snakes also ¢ them when they can, but usually the monkey is ™ cleverer than the snako. They sometimes gather i big bands’ and elub them to denth, Ry thistime we wero 80 hot and tired that we concluced to let the monkeys rest, although we could hear them chattering and jumpi 80 very far ahend of us, 50 wo turned Lauck to our horses with our coclies rying our trophy.

They Are More Difficult to Catoh Than the Broncos of the Plains. Off the northeastern shore of Vir- ginia, and about five miles from tue mainland lies a small island known as Chincoteague—an island possessed of peculiarities shared by no other portion of the eastern United States, for here roams, in an entirely untamed state, a breed of horses, or rather ponies,as wild as the mustangs of Tixas or the Pampas. How these ponies first came upon the island is not known except through vague tradition, for when the first set- tlers came there ourlf' in the eighteenth century, thuf{ found the animalsalready ronming wild about its piny meadows. Tle tradition received from the In- dians of the mainland,says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, was that a vessel loaded with horses to one of the Eliza- bethian settlements of Virgima, was wrecked upon the southern point of the island, where the "horses escaped, while the whites were rescued by the then friendly Indians and carried to the mainland, whence they found their way to some of the early settlements. The horses, left to themselves upon their new territory, became entirely wild, and, probably through hardships endured, degenerated into a peculiar breed of ponies. When one is wanted he is caught with a lasso, not as they do upon the plains, but by hanging it on the end of along polo and then dropping it skil- fully over the pony’s head. Uncle Ken takes the pole. Holding the noose well aloft on the top of it, so asnot to [righten the intended prey upon which he has fixed his eye, he cautiously approaches the herd around which the crowd has gathered. One of the ponies takes a sudden fright and a stampede follows, the spec- tators scattering right and left. For a moment the intended captive is wedged in the midst of the rest of the herd. Uncle Ken sees his advantage. He rushes forward, the noose is dropped and settles around the pony’s neck. Immediately six lusty negroes, with glistening teeth, perspiring faces and glittering eyes, are at the other end of the rope. The animal makes a gallant fight, This way and that ho huuls his as- sailunts, rearing and squealing. Now he makes a sudden side dash and sends them rolliug over and over, plowing their heads through the shifting sand till their wool is fuirly powdered; still, however, ‘‘the boys” hold on to the rope. At length the choking halter com- mences to tell; the pony, with rolling eyes and quivering flanks, wheezing audibly, Now is the moment! In rush the negroes, clutching the animal by legs and tail, A wrestle and a heave, a struggle on the pony’s part, a kick that sends Ned hopping with a barkod shin likea crazy turkey, and Sambo plowing through the sand and stinkweed in among the spectators, and then over goes the pony with four or five lusty, shouting negroes sprawling around him, The work is done; a running noose is slipped around the pony’s nose, his fore- lock is tied to this by'a bit of string, and soon his tantrums cease, as he real- izes that he is indeed a captive. ol ol L)' The Northwestern line ticketoffice is | No. 1401 Farnam stroct. e Ladies, remember that Quaker Rolled Oats ure s0ld in 2 pound packages only.

Boston Globe: This is the sea~ son when vpublic attention is di- rected to our institutions of learn- ing, and especially to those which graduate the men (and women) who are to largeiy shape the thought and liter- ary character of the nation in coming years. - The past week has witnusscfi the harvesting of a large academic crop, and that upon” which we; have entered will sed most of the great colleges de- livered of their classic progeny. Harvard college, founded in 1636, is only six years younger than the settle- ment of Boston. It was many years before it dared to risk comparison with any of the old universities of Europe, which were looked up to as the vener- able mothers of learning. Today 1t may boldly challenge comparison with any of the establishments of the Old World, and for purposes that belong to our American civilization it is superior to any of them. Few people are aware of the extent of our higher educational machinery. There are now in the United States 361 colleges devoted. to the liberal arts, with 4,442 1nstructors and 70,024 stu- dents. Of these colleges, 275 have an annual income of $7,875,200. Besides these, we have 159 institutions for the higher education of women, with 1,854 instructors, and property amounting to over $12,000,000. There are also ninety distinet schools of science, having 14,808 students, and endowments reach- ing upwaras of $3,000,000. This does not include 145 schools of theology and fifty schools of law, having over 10,000 students, and property amouuting to over $20,000,000. Besides these 894 institutions of higher learning, we have 1,476 schools for secondary learuing. Of theleading colleges, 48 have received grants of land from the public domain, while the Michigan university and some others are supported entirely by the state. Taken as a whole, our American col- leges are so liberally endowed that stu- dents are enabled to get an education, on the average, at one-tenth of its ac- tual cost. The liberality of our rich men to the colleges stands as a very gratifying rebuke to the aspersion that we are wholly a sordid, material people, and is not equalled in any country in the world. As a resultthe colleges huve most of them passed out of the state of miserable verty that formerly il fin ek usefulness, and some of them are even aflluent. According to the report of the United States com- missioner of education for the year 1886-87 we find that 304 of our colleges have property to the amount of $45,948,- 778, while 206 report funds amounting to $44,416,188, In our higher instutitions of learning there are constantly about 125,000 stu- dents in training for the professional and literary walksof life. Of these the proportion of women 1s constantly on the incrense, and we have set to the world the example of education which knows no sex aud noprevious ¢ondition, It is true that old-time prejudices still linger stubbornly, as to perfect equality of the sexes in education, butjthey are gradually surrendering before tho spirit of progress, and are surely doomed to disappear entirely in due time. The organization of educational insti- tuions in any given country will natur- ally conform to the drift and genius of 1ts civilization, We do not achieve the scholarship and!techn’cal proficiency in special directions that are found in the European colleges, but we send out the kind of men that are fitted to the needs of our rounded progress and cultivation zens of this repubhic. We are on the wing, and have no time to linger around the moss-growh haunts of an- tiquists, We are after learning that points forward to the future instead of back to the past, and the Paris exposi- tion to-day pears witness of how well we have succeeded. Ou the whole, we are proud of our in- stitutions of higner learning. Though we have our share of the rust of con- servatism olinging to us, with much that is faulty, and even frivolous in education, we are none the less in the vanguard of progress, and give every promise of remaining there. Every commencement in every college leaves behind some councession of the dead past to the living present and the foreshad- owed future, HENRY APPLETON. Great White Sait Sale.

New York Commercial Advertiser: The committee of eight of the board of education charged with the formuia- tion of an improved course of study in the public schools, has reported & new course for the approval of the board of education. The committee recom- mended several radical changes, one of the chief being that the study of French and German be discontinued. Itis proposed to make observation lessons a prominent feature, and to in- troduce specific features in the course of manual training, workshops and cooking rooms to be placed in school buildings not already provided with them on appiication of the ward trus- tees. The study of United States his- tory and of the character of our civil government is to be so arranged as to inculcate patriotism. The committeo also recommended changes in the pri- mary schools to aljow for the incorpor- ation of an introductory grade and a supplementary grade, the former to provide for the preliminary education of children unfitted to begin the studies in the sixth gradeand the latter to pro- vide for pupils capable for promotion to a grammar department but unable to enter on account of lack of accommoda- tions. —_— The Decline of Agriculture. Roston Globe. In these days. when the thrifty farmer is busy with his growing crovs, itis interesting to cast an eye about o well ordered farm and notice the sur- prising inventions in improved agri- cutlural implements. Nothing so correctly measures the development of the human race as the progress of improved agricultural ma- chinery from primitive days to the present time. The Egyptian fellah 3000 years ago dug the earth with a crooked stick, threw in the seed and reaped his grain clumsily with a rude sickle. The Japanese have but little improved upon this method up to the present day. The Indian ryot, who as- sumes to compete with the Awmerican farmer in the wheat market of the world, uses an iron blade six inches long, and costing four cents, for a sickle. Even in some of the most pro- gressive countries of Kurope the farm- ing implements still bear as conclusive marks of primeval simplicity. The United States are far ahead of the rest of the world in improved agri- cultural machinery. And yet 1n spite of this advantage, with the richest soil on the planet, our relative farming opulation is steadily decreasing. In 870, 47 per cent. of our people were en- gaged in agriculture: in 1880, 44 per cent.; in 1885, 42 per cent. It is now probably less than 40 per cent., and the tio is still diminishing. In the face of this melancholy show ing, our facilities for wheat production are six times as great as in India. Our wheat aren has steadily doubled twice as fast as our population, and every- thing in nature and in art would seem to be in our favor. ‘Why is it, then, that half the farms of the country are under mortgage, and that the farms are being gradually de- serted in despair of their yielding a profit, or even maintaining themselves free from debt?

There are signs of reform methods of execution in other countries besides America, s one of our foreign contemvoraries, but it is doubt- ful whether the German government will adopt the excessively dramatic mode which has been recommended to it by a certain Leipzig inventor. His apparatus consists of a platform nine meters square, approached by five steps. In the center of the platform is a chair for the condemned man., Behind 1t stands a tigure of justice holding a pode of scales in her left . hand Under the platform is a series of elec trical accumulators, from which wires pass through the legs of the chair into the seat and back, and terminate in platinum plates. The patient having been seated, the oxecutioner reads the sentence, and then, taking a wand, breaks it and de- posits the pieces in one of the scales, This descends, complotes the necessary connections, and so_ends the matter. In Germany, indeed, reform is just now being loudly clamored for, publie opinion having been greatly stivred up by a tragedy which occurrea a few weeks ago, when, it may be remem- bered, the imperial executioner, in a fit of jealous rage, kicked one of his assistants to death. It is contended with some show of reason that the crime was, to some ex- tent, attributable to the brutalizing ef- fects of the prisoncr’s occupation. in the Burlingtun Route—Changes of Time Taking Effect July 7th.

Lvans, who lils joke better than a meal, was telling one of his rural constituents about this law as they were riding together from Aurora to Chicago. “‘Waal,” said the granger, finally, ‘i’ a durn sight cheaper, then, fur ’em to kill a man than to cutoff his arm or his leg.” “Of course it is,” said the senator,and then lowering his voice to a whisper he said 11 the granger’s ear: ‘*‘You seo that ax up there?” “Yes,” whispered the constituent, looking at the tools carried in the car for use in_case of necd. “Well,” said the senator, ‘‘they carry that to kill men with in case they are hurt in an accident,” in this country, this is the one worth studying most seriously. ‘What must the clumsy French or German farmer think who visits the great Paris exposition and looks at our wonderful farm machinery, only to be told that upon the rich American soil where it was manufactured the farmers are not able to keep out of debt and suve their farms from the grip of the mortgagee? There is a deep and ruin- ous wrong somewhere, and the farmers are getting at the root of it now that it is almost 100 late to save themselves. Tmproved machinery of agriculture, with antiquated Chinese machinery and methods of tariff taxation are gfadually placing the farmer ina position where the more he vroduces the worse he is off. Nothing can be more humiliating than to hear this \'(:r{ statement, as one often does, from the farmer’s lips while he is exhibiting his ingenious labor- saving farming tools. Is this American protection? Al A Rising Young Poct. Speaking of poetry, especially of American poetry, here is a specimen submitted to the New York World by George Etheridge, an ambitious citizen of Rome, N. Y.: ‘Tne boy stood on the front-door stoop, nor thought of danger near; He cared not for her father's boot—in short he knew no fear. He took out his pocket-mirror and paused for an instant there To remove his nice new derby aud to smooth his oily hair, Then grasped tne lInuu]lu gently and timidly ell, For by Jew thiat ler harsh old father ated him worse than—anythiog. A mowent of painful waiting, & moment of anxious doubt, f And the door was swiftly opened, while & foot flew quickly out. ’ A moment of quiet ugony,a moment of silent uspense, And :hu'youuy man lurchied through the atmosphere and bhung Limself on the fence, “Waal, I snum,” said the granger, “H’\,ut'b the awfulest thing I ever heerd of.
