Thnt district was Tangipahoa parish. I faw Peto when ho started for Tnngipa hon parish, nnd I saw hira just nfter ho got back. That' why I can't get np nnd shout mnch when I hear folks brag nbont Louisiana, nlthough Pute never said n word. Thero was good reason for that, though. "Now, I s'poso thnt when 1 riso to remark that west Tennessee is tho garden spot of nil creation Rome folks'll suicker and maybo snort. r,ut they wouldn't if they knew how 'shnmcd they'd bo if they could ever striko luck enough to bo turned loose in Gibson county once, es pecially around where Humboldt is. William Znuhnrinh Raines lives there. "Ono day, t wo years or no ngo, Bill Znch said to Plunk Plunk was a nig ger that worked for Bill Zach, nnd a good ono ho was, too 'Plunk,' said Bill Zach, 'thero ain't no kind o' nso, wo got to do something with Peto. Tho better I treat him tho worso he neti). Ho won't plow, nnd ho won't do nothing thnt ain't cussedness. Kicked tlio bay maro in tho belly this morning, and she won't bo worth a pie nynno for a week. Chnsed tho old wom an from tho cowynrd clear to tho house nnd into tho house and followed her half wny up tho kitchen stairs. Thero ain't any living with Peto any longer. Something's got to bo done. Guess I'll send him 'loug with you down into Louisiana. ' " 'Golly! said Plunk. 'Who'll fotch mo back ag'in den? Peto lie kill mo sure! Dead nigger can't wulk back from 'Weesyimnah!' "But Bill Zach had made up his mind, and tho nmlo had to go with Plunk, dead nigger or no dead nigger. "Guess I forgot to sny beforo thnt Poto Raines was n mulo, nnd n slick ono he was too! Bill Zach rained him. Ho wns 8 years old when all this happened, and I'll bet his enrs wcro a foot nnd a half long. His tail wasn't as long as his ears, but it hnd a tuft on it like a can non swab. Pete wns fat as a seal, and his hide glistoned like a dnrky'a face in a groen cornflold. But Pete wasn't reli able. Ho had a way of kicking and bit ing and fighting on the spur of the mo ment and without any provocation that made him practically the boss of things around Bill Zach's place, and he know it Bill Zach bought a place a couple of years ago down in Tangipahoa parish, La. , to whioh ho intended to "ond Plunk clown to work, and so he thought he'd got rid of Poto in a moroiful sort of way by sending him down there, too, al though it might be that he'd get rid of Plunk at the same timo. "Thoy shipped Poto on the railroad, and he went away tickled to death. He had it in his mind that he was going into a wider Sold to spread his eustsed noss in, and he fairly yelled with de light in his car when the train pulled out. It is 180 miles from Humboldt to Tangipahoa parish by rail. When they unloaded Peto down there, ho came out smiling. Ho thought he had it iu for that country and would make hit mark. But he hadn't looked around much be fore dojoction teemed to teize him. Plunk bad never teen Pete that way, and ho got scared. Plunk was more un easy still when Peto went listlessly to the plow and dragged it all day without onoe lifting his eart or hit heels. " 'I bet dit whole plantation 'gin alligator what ain't kotched yit,'said Plunk, 'dat duy'i yarthqnake wuckin in dat wool, an dat when it busts it'll h'ist dit nigger clean to de adder tide ob Jurdaut' "But it wasn't to The mule got down in the dumps worse and worse ev ery day, and after Pete had been In Louisiana a week Plnnk went to the field after him one day, and there was no mule to be teen. Plunk hunted all over that eountry for three days, but couldn't find any trace of Pete. Then Plunk tent word to Bill Zaob that the mule had gone off somewhere and died. And Rill 2nrh wns glad. About three weeks nfter thnt Bill Zach wns startled out of his sleep nt half past 3 in tint morning by a noise, tlmt awakened mem ories. Ho listened. The noiso broko out again. It rattled tho windows; it echoed among tho hills; it wailed; it yooped; It heehawed. " 'J'eto, by tho living Jumper I yelled Bill Zach, jumping out of bed nnd hur rying to tho door. A mulo wns leaning wearily against the front fence. He wns thin nnd Hcrnggy, his eyes were hollow nnd his earn half way to his knees, like n ynller hound's. When this mnlo saw Pill Zach nt tho door, ho lifted up his voico again nnd actually wept. It was Pete, back from Louisiana. It Is BOO miles from Tangipahoa parish to Hum boldt by road, nnd so yon may know what Pete must have thought of Lonisi nun to take his overburdened heart with him, so to speak, and pull out for Ten nessee on tho hoof. Pete was ns slick ns ever ho was in a few days and started in to bo pretty near as sassy nnd cussed ns ever, but Bill Zach said ono day to his wife when Pete was by: " 'I'm going to send Pete back to Tangipahoa parish ngain, Susan. ' "Peto dropped his ears nnd walked away, nnd over sinco then ho has been tho best mulo in thn whole of Gibson county, nnd Bill Zach wouldn't take $1,000 for him." New York Sun. THE TOUCAN. A Qnrr Smith American lllril With an Ki traorillnnrlly l.nrgn lllll. A queer kind is tho toucan. It seems to havo been made expressly to take chnrgo of its huge banana shnped beak, which, in somo species, is fully 7 inches in length nnd moro than 3 inches in width entirely out of proportion to its comparatively smali body. This beak is tho most brilliant possession of the toncan, being orango nnd black, scarlet and yellow or green and red, according to tho species of tho bird. Its homo is in tho wild South Ameri can woods, where, mingled with the screaming of parrots, macaws nnd other tropienl birds, is heard its monotonous cry, "Tncnno, tuenno!" from which its name is probably derived. It is a fruit cater, nnd climbing among the brandies it gathers its food with its long benk, whoso stiyngth no stem can resist. Tho toucan nests in trees, nd it is uncertain whether it excavates its bur row or builds in n natural cavity. Nothing moro comical can bo imngined thnn (ho head of this creature, with its sparkling eyes nnd enormous, gnyly col ored beak, appearing from a hollow in tho trunk of somo forest monarch. It is said that the young birds aro subject to tho nttneks of monkeys and birds of prey, and that when tho pnrent bird is alarmed nil nho has to do is to poke hor head out of tho nperturo leading to tho nest. Tho ni suSTint, seeing so huge a bill, fancies an animal of corresponding sizo behind it and leaves, without bow ing or saying farewell. Toucans are sociablo birds and go in largo flocks They mnko common causo against their enemies, such as owls nnd falcons, which they surround ond mob, as tho rooks do iu England. Having thus no need for protection, they aro noisy nnd clamorous, like parrots and monkeys. Tho plumngo is generally blnck, but tho throat is whito, tinged with yellow nnd commonly edged beneath with red. Tho tail is nearly squaro or moderately rounded, with the upper feathers red and tho lower scarlet. Alternations of tho brighter colors nro displayed iu tho feathers of tho throat, tho breast and the tail. Tho bird is kept easily iu confine ment, and no doubt from early times many wcro brought alivo to Europe. Somo of its brilliant tints aro very fleet ing, mid they often leave liltlo or no trace after death, so that little idea of its beauty can bo obtained from a stuffed ipecimon. Philadelphia Times, Th. Smith Family nam, "The averngo citizen Is fond of a pioco of twoot ham, but it is an absolute waste to set before an uneducated palate a slice of a genuine old Smithfiuld that has been two years in curing," said Colonel Thomas Longloy of Virginia. "The fame of the Smithfleld ham has been spread to the uppermost ports of the land, and I never yet knew a man who was cognizant of the merits of both that didn't prefer the product of old Virginia to the choicest that ever came from Westphalia. I can't describe the process of the former's treatment in de tail, but I know it is enveloped iu ashes good while and subsequently buried in mother earth, where it ttayt for many moons. "Some high flying epicures aver that a Smithflold should be liberally drenohed with champagne while in process of cooking, but I don't think wine is at all necessary. My mode is to parboil it till tho skin come off easily, then pnt it in the baking pan and baste judiciously with vinegar and sugar. Then it comet out a dish fit for the Olympian gods. Of course all the bamt that bear the name do not come from the little town of Smithfleld, for that little hamlet couldn't supply one-hundredth part of the demand. "A member of the universal Smith family, old Captain Isaac, for whom the town was named, and who was if, I mistake not, a contemporary of Gen eral Washington, invented the process of curing that part of the hog In ques tion, and today bit imitators are scat tered all over Virginia and Maryland.

Whether for shipment or for homo consumption tho banana is cut ns soon as it is "full" thnt is, when it has rcnclied its ndnlt form nnd sizo, but is still quite green. Tho plant is cut off by a single blow of a maeheto wielded by n powerful arm. As it falls tho bunch is cnught, lopped off nnd laid asido, whilo tho harvester goes on to tho next bunch. It is n popular supposi tion thnt bananas "ripened on tho treo" aro incomparably superior to those cut green. But, ns a matter of fact, ono never eats them thus ripened in Jamai ca. They nro said to bo not so good. At all events, ono linds no better fruit in texture nnd flavor than tho best of our own markets. But every lover of this fruit knows that its quality varies ex traordinarily ns it Is offered to lis. This is duo rnrtly to tho different sources from which it comes. Tho best that is brought to us comes from Jamaica. It is nlso duo still moro to tho condition of tho fruit when cut. Bananas which nro perfectly full will ripen mellow nnd delicious, but thoso cut when immature, ns too many nre, will turn yellow, yet never truly ripen, retninlng nlwnys their hnrd texturo nnd unripe taste. In Jninaicn, ns elsewhere, the competition of buyers lends tho un scrupulous ones to accept fruit of nny sort, even when totnlly unfit, nnd this sort of competition makes nil tho moro unavailing tho efforts of honest buyers to raise tho standard and to tcimh the peoplo to withhold their fruit until it iB properly developed. Americans can give more moral support to these efforts by accepting only such fruit as is ma ture at nny price, A little pains will soon ennble one to distinguish good from poor fruit, though it is difficult to give a general statement of tho distinc tive differences.

Some Think It I.m-nl to the Kniihrntri, oth er the Melting of the lee Age. Sues", in "Das Antlitz der Erde," and Neumnyer, in "Erdesgesehichte, " hnve attempted to show thnt the Mo soio account of the deluge was copied with little from an original Assyrian version, and thnt it wns a local flood which took place iu the plains of tho Tigris nnd Euphrates, not in tho valley of tho Jordan. In a recent number of Nutur Woohensohrift, however, Herr Richard Hcnnig tries to prove that a general flood took plnco in tho ice ugo during tho quaternary period Many facts, such ns evidences of gla ciatlou nnd lowering of temperature, fouud iu the rocks and in sngas nnd myths, as well as the vnst extension of a grent lnko iu tho far west of America, whoso lovol wns 1,000 feet above that of the Salt lake, go to prove that floods accompanied tho retrent of the glaciers. Countries in wnriner latitudes for ex ample, tho Sahara were converted into sens nnd swamps or were locally flood ed. Isolated lauds kept clear of tho in undation for instance, Egypt but wo may remind Herr Hcnnig that, accord ing to Herodotus, Egypt was formerly in great part n mnrsh. It is curious to note, in connection with the glacial theory, that an old Aryan tradition tells of the "Aryans" having been driven from their original seat by tho country becoming colder nnd tho winter longer. Tho German flood sngn tells that "the floods of tho north came far from their homo and wcro turned into ice, and the loo stood still, and the mist which hung over it froze." Tho sun warmed tho drops, howover, and Ymir of HrimthurHon, tho frost giant in the form of a man, wns born.

Youth s Companion. Hot Watar For Cowa, "Hot water for cows" is the maxim of the French dairy farmers in the de partment of Finistere. They olaim to have proved by experiments that when cows drink hot water they yield one third more milk than when they are re freshed with cold water only. Caution must, of course, bo observed in adopting the new system. Avarioiout dairymen must beware of scalding the throats of their cows in their haste to avail them solves of this discovery, whioh is vouch ed for by our consul at Brest The pro portions, we are told, are half a pail of boiling water and half pail of cold. 8POUSE CF A SIOUX PRINCESS.

Tho last of this nil tocratio dynasty was Old Smoko, who died In 1859 nfter seeing his people pushed westwnrd nnd his power curtail ed. Although tho husband of moro than ono squaw, ho left but one child, n tiny girl, who could hardly coo when Old Smoke got ready to float upward to tho happy hunting grounds.

Tho big Sioux chiefs came from miles around tonttend tho wedding, tho nrmy officers from tho neighboring posts jingled their spurs in tho Old Virginia reel, which followed tho benediction, nnd the pretty Sioux queen has since been plain Mrs. Jordan.
