Hymns to Quiet Stampeding Herds.
"There is one peculiarity in reference
to cattle on the range that is known to
few save cattlemen," said R. S. Carton
ot New Mexico, "which helps lis greatly
in handling a large herd on the trail.
When a lot of cattle are gathered up
there is always danger of a night stam
pede, and if this occurs it is a very seri
ous matter, for not only will the herd
become greatly scattered, but also many,
of the steers will die. More timid ani
mals than stampeded cattle it is difficult
to imagine, and once thoroughly stam
peded scores of thfin will run until they
drop dead in their tracks. The signs of
an approaching stampede are familiar to
every man who has been much on the
trail. First a few cattle will begin to
low, or rather to utter a soit of roar.;
All through the herd single animals will,
get up and begin to move around. The
others become restless, and if something'
is not done to check them the whole
herd will within a short time be rushing
headlong over the plain.
"The most soothing influence that can
be exerted is the human voice, and when
these ominous rautterings are heard every
one on night watch begins to sing. It
may well be imagined that cowboy
music would have anything but a quiet
ing effect upon musical ears, but it amply
satisfies the cattle. As soon as songs are
heard the nervous animals become quiet,
one by one they lie down, and soon all
are at rest, fairly sung to sleep. A pe
culiar feature of the singing is that every
cowboy, no matter how rough and law
less, knows a variety of hymns, and it is
with church music that the stampede is
prevented." ,S7. Lou is Globe-Democrat.
Coffee-Cup Barometer.
According to the bright little S,,au.
ish building journal, the Gaata de O'ras
Pulliras, a cup of pure coffee, with the
addition of a lump of sugar, forms an
excellent baroneter. The sugar should
be put into the coffee without stirriug,aud,
a moment afterward, a quantity of bub
bles, due to the air contained in the
sugar, will be seen to rise to the surface
of the liquid. If the bubbles collect in
the middle of the cup, the weather will
be fair; if, on the contrary, they leave
the centra aud adhere to the sides of the
cup. forming a ring of bubbles, with a
clear space in the middle, there will ba
rain ; if they scatter themselves indiffer
ently on the surface, the weather will be
variable, while a cluster of bubbles at
one side of the cup indicates rain. No
one, apparently, has attempted to ex
plain the connection between the behav
ior of the bubbles and atmospheric con
ditions, but it is said that the indications
of the coffee-cup barometer generally
ayree with those of a mercurial barome
ter placed near by.

A Clock of Bread Crumbs.
The Milan museum has recently come
into the possession of a remarkable
clock. This unique timepiece is made
entirely of bread crumbs. A poor Italian
workman made it. Every day he set
apart a portion of his modest meal in
order to carry out his curious project.
The bread crumbs saved bv hi
