A BUFFALO -KANCH. An Experiment in Bison Brooding; in the Texas Panhandle. The rnlqne Enterpriie of an Old Flains man Who Is StriT)nr to IVrpctn-.ite the Valuable Qualities of an Almost Extinct Animal. Goodnight", a little station on the Fort Worth and Denver City rail rnnr? in Armstronr ccrantv. in the Texas Panhandle, is the home of j Charles Goodnig-ht, who is quietly but j earnestly and .persistently conducting an experiment in the crossing of the American buffalo with' native cattle, so ; far without completely successful re- suits, but certainly with very inter- j esting one ' Mr. Goodnipht,says Forest and Stream, has a little home ranch of about seventy thousand acres. This is his- garden. His real ranch, where he does business, is the Quitaque, some distance away, where he has about four hundred thou sand acres under fence. It is at his lit tle garden, or truck p.atch, that he has his buffalo experimental station. Several -years a?o, when bulTnloes were more plentiful in Texas than they are now, the cmvboys working1 for Mr. Goodnig-ht would often "rope", a buffalo calf and brin it home- These were turned into an inelosure, and. thoug-h little attention was paid to them, they formed the nucleus of the herd now on the rsaeh. As the wild buffalo beg-an to disappear those be came of greater interest, and .six or seven years, ago Mr. Goodnight be;an in earnest the attempt to produce a new and distinct breed by crosrdny buffalo and neat cattle, and trying to perpetuate this type of inl reeu in;-. There are now on his ranch ;:bout twenty-five or thirty full-bloo.l buffa loes and as many more hsilf-breeds. Most of these full-bloods probably r.il of them were calved on the ranch. In deed, the herd are the product of thn calves roped and 'brought i:i by the cowboys in the late "rus, which grew up and multiplied by the ro?u!ar and natural process. They are fine-lookinT-animals. Old buffalo hunters say they never saw finer-looking ones when these animals covered the Texas prairies by millions, which is conclusive evidence that civilization is not fatal to the propagation of the buffalo, lie needs only to be protected and given a fair show, and in time there is no reason . why there should hot be as manv buffaloes on the prairies of Texas as there were twenty years ao. The crosses are, however, of the greatest interest. It was-Mr. Good night's desire to establish a type of cattle with the valuable robe, the thrifty rustling qualities, the weight and general characteristics of the buffalo, lie has bred '-black mullcys' to the buffalo bulls the cattle being chiefly polled Angus and the result an animal with the light hindquarters and heavy snoulders of the buii'alo, the shaggy head and the long, woolly hair so desirable in buffalo robes being reproduced almost as perfectly as in the parent bull. The tail is long and flat like a mule's tail. Horns are . absent when bred to mulleys. In two or three eases, where the mothers were Texas cows, the horns were like buffalo horns, but .some longer. One peculiar animal,, which is out of place outside of a sideshow, is the outrpring of a buffalo bull and a Texas cow, which hasblack and white stripes run ning around the body like a zebra's. The half-breeds are heavier in weight .than the average cattle, are better rustlers, and keep fat through cold weather and hard rustling that thin the others and often result in heavy fatalities. Mr. Goodnight also has on hi.; home ranch about thirty or thirty-five elk that were brought from Colorado, which he has in a pasture of four or five hundred acres, the fence around which is co3-ote-proof. These elk have not thriven well, and do not appear to 'be at home. " CALLS THE KING "MY BA3Y." The SpaDish Oueen I" sob Pet -Xainea Vhe75 Referring to Her Son. Queen Christina, "of pain. is about the only monarch er roy:il pcrsonaye in j Europe who, when speaking of her children and, relatives, does not con sider it-necessary to make use of their titles, says.a writer in the New York Recorder. Thus, Avlien the prince, of Wales refers to his parent, he invari ably uses the words:. "My mothcr the queen," the latter word being super fluous, it would seom. His sou he al ways speaks of as "My "son, the duke of York." The emperor of Austria re fers to his wife as "Die 'Kaiser in," rvs does also Emperor William. The king of Portugal is so anxious to prevent any undue familiarity that he usuall y' pre fixes the words "Her majesty'" to "the queen," and in the same way the wives of these respective royalties never speak of their husbands except as "the emperor,' V'the king" or "the prince," as the case may be. Queen Christina, of Spain, however, is quite different in this respect. She invariably talks of her little seven-year-old boy as "el nino," as "my son,'' as "my baby," or, when speaking in German, as "Mem bubi," the Viennese dialect for "my dear little boy." It diminishes noth ing from the child's rank or grandeur to speak thus of him, but, on the -contrary, contributes to increase the sym pathy an-1 the regard for this sensible and highbred -widow and for her royal son, around whose -fair, "curly head are centered so many interests, both na tional and economic. 1 Corea'a Literary Center.

The suppo sition is that, there is an extensive opening some place in that vieinity and that the cavern is a rendezvous for wild animals. For years, hogs, cattle, ' horses and sheep have mysteriously disappeared -from points in this vicin ity, and it is thought that they have 11 ch-aT!-ed iiito this cavern and the h'TriMe ouor comes irom incir ue- ,.--n cryed reir son's men ins. Contractor MePhcr havc been working three days trying-to get the drill started m the bottom of the cavern and they will probably give up the task. Others who. do not 'entertain the idea-hat there is an extensive opening -think that the cave was a retreat for the Indians and that many relics would be found could an entrance be made. The cave will be investigated and, in all probability, a hole large enough for the entrance of a man will be made and the interior will be visited. Several months ago a cave similar to this one, except that the bottom was not slanting, was dis covered by drillers while putting down a gas well near Bluff ton.- The drillers are of the -opinion that the two are connected, and if so the famous Mam moth cave of Kentucky will be a minute affair, the discoveries being made forty miles apart. One aged farmer says that he intends selling his farm and move from that section of the country, as he fears that in a very short time the earth will drop and fill up the cavern, and then their farms will be a sea and they wili all be drowned. Many others are excited in this manner. AM INLAND-EMPIRE. Its Vast Kxtent and Its Abundant Growth Cancel! At. Abundance, so far as the products ci fields, orchards and hopyards can sup ply it.1 is the largest of the season to tire people of the great inland empire, says the Portland Orcgonian. While the traveler, choking with dust and languishing with the heat, peers from the cars wondering at the tremendous amount of useless material that nature found upon her hands in the construc tion of the universe, great stacks of hay, waving fields of ripening wheat or huge piles of grain in bags awaiting railroad rates that will permit their movements without loss to the pro--ducer, and sleek cattle, mindful of the fierce rays 'of the sun, browsing upon the wide ranges, refute his impatient criticisms of the utter worthlessness of this vast land. - While there are large tracts that must remain arid until some system of irrigation is devised to make the sur plus precipitation of the winter months a blessing to the upper country irstead of a source of mischief to the lower lands, thrre are vast areas that have been reclaimed to agriculture hy til lage and irrigation, and the product of these is simply phenomenal. Passing through the entire eastern section of Oregon and Washington by rail at this season of the year, one wonders how anyone can be induced to make homes on its seeming wastes. But, halting at one of the cities of the plains, into which the surrounding country has poured-its wealth of fruit-and bounty of vegetables and meats, the conviction of the productiveness of the region is forced upon the most skeptical trav eler. The loyalty of the people of the inland empire to tlfis section is un swerving, and their confidence in iti future greatness is boundless. lilnUipIicatlon of tho Typewr'.ter. "The coming' man will not write nearly so much as the man of this ape," said I'rof. Charles.

The cheaper typewriters become the less a chirography there will be. Professional men of any standing rarely do any writing now, save, perhaps, to indite their own sig nature:. In newspaper ofJces three fowrtlis of the rcportori'al stair compose their '-stories" on machines, and not a few of the more dignified editors have learned to play the keys. Hand writing will linger a great deal longer in the country and smaller towns than in the cities, for the same reason that the candle and kerosene lamp linger longest in the former localities. iieilectcU Light. Some months ago an English manu facturer niaflic a number of experiments to determine the best method of il luminating his' cloth mills. Gas jets, incandescent, lamps and arc lights were all l.ried and found wanting, as they either failed to give light enough, r'ive. too much light, or cast heavy shadows. The walls of a room were pain'cd white, and under each of a number of are lights was suspended a rclicctcr, which threw all the light up to the .white ceiling, from which it was reflected to the room below. This system was successful from the outset and has attracted considerable atten tion among English weavers. 10 MORE EYE GLASSES, No Weak Eyes! -acre EYE-SA3LYE Tares Tar Drops, Oranolation, StTe x unioi-s, ile,J Eyes, Matted Eye Lash'es, .

Every man, woman and child that eau pole a square-ended scow ot hamllc a scoop-net is prowling along. at the sedgy-creek banks or drifting up jn the shoal coves netting crabs. This is ly the heart of the crab season. ' The bWirest and fattest of the blue- nn " ,vi,0 wants to go crabbing and . . . , . , . can t is profoundly to De puieu, ana either do not realize what a satisfying, all-absorbing pastime it is cr else they have lost interest in life. - It is an inexpensive pastime and the fishing grounds are near at hand. For the matter of that a man may take his wife and children along. He has only to look up the time of tide and train schedules, buy a net for a quarter, a dozen baits of tough, raw meat ana a ball of twine for a line, shoulder his basket and start. lie must try to time his departure so as to reach the creek on the rising tide, for Mr. Crab comes in very lame and hungry from the sea and bites eagerly then what a few hours later he will turn rip his well-fed nose at and ignore. If 3-ou cannot, or do not care to, hire a boat, the accommodating crab will humor you and let you capture him from the muddy ban!:. ' Hank fishing is done by driving little stakes in the edge of the shore at about a rod's dis tance apart, tnd to each of these tying a line about twelve feet long, on which you have tied a bit of meat. If the current bothers you you should have some small sir.kers along, for if the meat floats on top ew crabs will no tice it. Ten cr a dor.cn lines arc all one party can manage generally, for the crabs feed like newsboys at a Christmas dinner. The 'man who handles the net will li-iu lii-a lvmils frill rnnninrr from one iin nnnMiPr. r.s some one veils: "Here, don't wait all day; there are washed out.

One of the beauties of the sport is the Carmelite chapel at Paris, and that the children can all help. Even tl c0 railed of their hlnnd the little shaver of eight or nine can be shown how to draw in his crab gently and slowly and then how to tenderly lift him till the net has him . , ' - fast. , The women all like it,too; lik to shout over slipping in the mud, like to scream when a crab gets out of the basket or net and runs sideways at their feet: and like, above all, to diave found an outdoor sport-in which they can join .1 ? l. - - . 1 . . , 1 .- -.. . i . . . - . - Am i4 1 - Lneir uubuauua ami uvy a. u 10 not like wooing the trOut or fickle black bass, when one may toil day after day with little or no profit, just because he has not on a darker or brighter fly.

"Xabbing" consists in floating up with the tide over shal lows and scooping up the crabs as they feed ' or run , without the use ""of bait.

Too vicious a thrust often sticks the n t deep in the mud bottom, and if you are not lively in rescuing it the boat passing over will smash the handle or the sudden wrench will hurl you into the water. Then once you are fouled in such a way the most tempt ing sort of opportunities al ways' pre sent themselves.

"I can't understand," said a young lady of observation to a Sun reporter, "I can't understand lor the life of me why you men, who see so much and know so much, persist in the phrase 'keep a stiff upper lip.' You see it is a sort of picturesque synonym for firmness of purpose and demeanor, but it' has- no value as such. The up per lip is not the weak member of the two; it is the under lip that wants stiff ening. The upper lip is practically expressionless: It usually lies flat on tne teeth, it is nearly always C , . , , T r ertd with a moustache I refer, cov- of course, to the male upper lip and in conversation, especially in correct languid conversation, it does not move at all.

He will look you straight in the eye, grow fierce, and drop his voice into his boots through-the weight of his emo tion, but if there is that twitch about the lower Hd I don't believe him and I've never been wrong yet. If a man feels deeply I mean feels sorrow, not affects it it is in the tremulousness of the under lip th it he shows it. The sensitive man's lower lip is seldom still, and there is sometimes about it a positive pulsation that takes in the whole curve of the chin. The pout begins in the lower lip, and is leally confined to it, for the upper lip is only pushed out by pressure Irom below. You can't pout with your upper lip alone. . .. "In fact you can't assume or aflect any expression with the upper lip alone: Just try it. Hold the lower lip firm with the finper and look in the glass there, v The mouth has be come simply a hole in the face, you see, and so far as the expressionful character of ihe lips go it is as it you hd lost a feature. . "It you want to keep back a smile, it's the lower lip that you want to look after. Weakness -begins there, whether 'of character, health,-or age. It is not the weak upper lip that tells of downfall; it is the drooping, pendu lous lower i;p that shows it. "And let me tell you something, please.for the benefit ot my sisters who have not had the advantage I mean the experience that I have.
