There ave men here who say that they have not seen a day in years whon no prairie fire was in sight. 3y day the muin,f elouds of smoke and by night the red glare of the flames marks the worlk of destruction on some range. t infrequently, in fact com- monly, at this time of the year there a dozen fires in sight at once. Viewed at vight from the high bluffs of the Canadian above the town, the picture is wouderfully beauntiful, Tenderfoot who come here are always surprised to see the indifference with which praivie fires are regarded by the natives, To the tenderfoot it seems that an awful death for every man and THE beast lies in the path of every praivie fire. But he woon gots over that, only 10 bo be again wrought up to a stato of oxcitement ovar the cowboy method of putting out the fires, not as might bo supposed, to save life. but to savo the grass for the bunches of cattle in their charge, A woek ng y some ono started a fire over west of Fort Reno, and, the condi- tions being prime, it spread on tho wings of a rushing gale. After a while its widening swath attracted the atten- tion of William and Henry Frass, who were holding 1,000 cattle on the range there. The fire was going to burn over the entive range, and something had to be done, and that quickly. One of tho boys spurred his pony a mile or so over the prairie o us to'size up the extont of the line of fire cown on the herd he cut out a stear and ran it over near the fire. Then he drew arevolver and shot the beast. In a minute he was on the ground by the body with a big knife in hand, strip ping off the hide. He was joined by his brother und in an ineredibly short time the beef was skinned. Then the body was sphit, the skin, flesh side down, was sccured to the backbone of the upper half and the ends of two lariats to the t of the upper half. Then the lariats wore tied to the pony saddles, the men mounted nnd away they went deagging the warm and’ bleeding cavenss and the skin wot- blanket fashion after them, between the two horses. Reaching the fire, then but a few rods away, they galloped along the line of the lame, one on the burned side and one on the uuburned. 1t was ahot job, but beef and hide and pluck prevailed. In an hour some miles and then riding of fire lines had been smothered and the range suved. okl S 20 An Abs te R The ORIGINAL ABIEPINE OINTMEN I is only put up in larse two-ouneo tin boxes, and is an absolute cure for all sores, burns, wounds, chupped hands and all skin_erap: tions, Will positively cure all kinds of pil Ask for the ORIC L.

To the prevailing extravagance in dr the sutirists again allude in the the severest terms. *'I have much won- dered,” says Henry Peachman, *“why our English, above other na- tions, should so much dote upon new fashions, but more wonder at our want of wit that we nnot invent them ourselves, but, when one is grown stale, send presently over into France to seck n mew, making that noble and Nourishing kingdom tho magazine of our fooleries. and for this purpose many of our tailors lie leger (i, e. reside) there and 1adics jest over their gentle- men ushers, to accounter them and themselves, as you see. Hence came your slashed doublets (as if the wearers Were cut out to be earbonadoed upon the coals), and your half-shirts, piceadillies, now out of request), your long breechos, narrow toward the knees like a pair of smith’s bellows, the ngled garters pendent to the shoe, your perfumed perukes or periwigs, to show us that lost hair may be had again for money, with a thousand such fooleries unknown to our manly forefathers.” The reader may find- it a pleasant change to turn to the rhyming moral- 1sts, Here to the fore comes John Tay- lor, the so-called water poet, launching his shafts—not_too sharply pointed—at the excess of those who w = “A farm m shoestrings edged with gold, And spangled garters worth a copyhold; A hose and doublet with a lordship cost, A gaudy clonk (three manors’ price almost), A beaver band and feather for the head, Prized at the church's tithe, the poor man's bread.” B Egyptian Cats. From Amelin B, Edwards’ profusely illustrated article in the January Cen- tury is taken the following:” *The bronze cats and kittens of Bubastis have never been d for truth and sup- pleness of modeling, As for the cat- 1eaded Basts, so admirably 1s the head of the intelligent Egyptian tabby adapted to the graceful proportion of the goddess, that wo lose our perception of the incongruity, ani find the combi- nation perfectly natural. The name of the cat 1 the ancient Zyptian language is mau—a name evi- dently onomatopoetie, and so af- fording no clue to the original nationality of the animal was certainly unknown to the Egyptians of the Pyri- mid period, Lenormant remarks with truth that Bast in the time of the an- cient empire was invariably represented with the head of alioness, and that it isonly with the advent of the twelfth dynasty that she begins toappear upon the monuments in the likeness of a cat. This was the time of the great raids of the Pharaohs into the land of Kush (Ethiopia); and it is a notable fact that the cat and the Dongolese dog ave first represented in the wall-paintings of Beni-Hassan in the reigns of the User- tsens and Amemehats. Rupell has shown that the eat of the wall painting and bronzes is identical with the Felis ma- niculatastil) found in a wild state in Upper Nubia and the Soudan; so that it may be fairly taken for granted that the sacred animal of Bast was an impor- tation of the twelfth dynasty Pharoahs from ‘the Land of Kush.” This view 1s strikingly corroborated by the tenor of a demotic papyrus recently translated by Professor Revillout, which professes to record the philosophical con- versations of ‘The Jackal Khufi and an ‘Ethiopian Cat.’ This cat is half a goddess, and that she should be desig- nated as ‘Ithiopian’ points with special significance to the original habitat of the animal sacred to Bast, Strangely enough, M, Naville reports of the re- mains of the sacred cats in the cat cem- etery at Bubastis, that the species ther buried was not that of the common cat of Egypt. either of ancient or of modern times, but that of apparently another species of the feline tribe.

'w York Herald: Major Frank Meraughlin went to London rocently on a mission big with import to Anglo Saxen athletes, and which, it is be- lioved, will result in a practical inte ange of membership between the two greatest sporting clubs of the world— the California athletic club of Sar ¥ iseo and the Pelican club of Lon- don. erbody faniliar with the groat events in the recent history of pugilism on the American continent has heard of the Californin athletic club of San Francisco, deservedly described as *‘the richest club in tho world,” and of the enormous sums it has paid out in prizes to the successful fighters in its *‘con tests,” writes a San neisco corre- spoudent of the New York Herald, If nugilism has an abiding place at pr ent in the land of Sullivan, Ryan, Bd- wards, Goss and Chambers that pl muso be in the famous San Francisco organization, which has a membership of 1,700, of whom 1t is said the average wealth is from £100,000 to $250,000. The club house of the Cahfornia Athleties, in which 000 in purses have been paidover in the last fourteen months to crack fist fighters, is on New Montgomery strect, in the center of the city and within three blocks of the Palace hotel. The new club house will be not fur away from the old building, which was former an armory. It three stovies the ground floor beiug oceupied ¢ ly by stores. Go- ing up the main stairw to the second floor the visitor sees before him a great gymnasinm—one of the most complete in the world—and equipped with the best apparatus of all kinds that money can buy or skill suggest. In the vast hall for physical e e 1,500 people tone time streteh their muscles, new glow into their civeulution, run, swing from rings, and the bar, trapeze, foils and gloves. At the | furthér extremity und on eithor smde of .th avtment ave billiard rooms, private steeping and sitting and clothes lockers, Ascending to the third floor one enteps ificent ex ercising room, lighted artistically and perfectly and open to the sea breczes from over the bay. Iere at various hours of the d Ve found the leaders of the n [rav ciseo bar, pulpit, elinie, exchange and counting room. To get in, too, they ooms, bath rooms must belong regularly to the eclub. So rigid are the rules about the introduc- tion of strangers for purpose wh ever that the nights of “contests™—the delicate club euphemism for fights—the president and four of the directors stand on the staitway and scrutinize the face of every person claiming ad- mission, however well provided he may be with tickets, The Nob Hill wags say that hall the koow each other, and that dent Fulda spoaks to ’em all general principles, trasting to luck t they are members. But the stern sens of duty to themselves and to their club which animates these live censors can only be appreciated when one remem- ber's that judges of the supreme court have to be a little particular about the company they kcep since a San Fran- scan shot at Justice Id and for a supreme court judge to missa real *con- test”—the judges, particularly, alway call ’em *coutests”—at the Californi club would be, in the best circles of San Francisco, almost equivalent to self-im- hment. “1 have secn club, said Majol Hea S members don’t Presi- on at a meeting of the MeLaughlin, “George John W. Mackay George C. Perkins, Banker Brown of the Bank of Californ nd all the big judges, lawyers and doctors you would care to count.” “How about the chief of police, major?” I asked, having in mind how an ‘inspector of police walked uv the Pelican stairs in London the night of the Peter Jackson-Jem Smith fight. “OI course,” said the major, ‘*he was there; he never misses ono—that is, a contest. There is a tradition that the chief of police of San I'rancisco ox- ofticio a member of the California club, and the sheriff 15 o real member, when- ever he is a good fellow and doesn’t get black balled. **No contest at the club has ever been in any way interfered with by the law,” the major continued, and a thought of what would happen to the rash police officer who broko in on a prize fight at which his chief was an interesting wit- ness, brought a smile to the check of his listener. “While some of the best fi—— contests ever scon have been fought in the club’s presence no fi—— contestant has over been seriously in- jured.” *How do you manage to avoid the penalties of ~ the laws ayainst prize fighting?” “Woll, we are licensed by the city authorities, to whom we $3,000 a year, and the board of supervisors ex- pressly authorizes jus to have private contests to a finish,}’ *There are no ‘u\y tickets of admis- sion under any eircumsltances to any- body,” said Mujor McLaughlin, *‘and’if necessa Pl'usgtlcnt Falda and his four directors call the club secretary mmself to help them identify us a club member overy candidate for admission who pre- sents himself on contest nights, For 81,000, for any s\m, no outsider could gain admission on.such a night. The members of theypjub come in by right. The leading representatives of ress come in by eonrtesy, which is rig- idly guarded against imposition; the chief of police anud sheriff come in by tacit right—as megbers, however, and not by official right—und that is the end of it. When the chief of police pre- sents himsell at the door he submits a member’s ticket which has been issued to him, and is admitted by right of that ticket. There has never been any in- terference; under the eircumstances, how could there be? “The prime object of the club is to promoto athletic sports in general and partkeularly in so far as they are bene- ficial to the health of the members, Of course, as hoxing is the athletic sport par excellence, the club trends in that direction.
