Iu Oentral park Di rector C'onklin baH several tipecimena of biitl'alo, but the cow is growing old and another one lias iiot lx-c-n becured. The bullalo will not breed in captivity unless, like other tlonu-stio animals, it has abun dant room for feeding and exercise. In Central park the animals are confined iu narrow tstalls lecause the space at the disposal of the manager is ho cramjied. There is a practical solution of the buf falo question, Mr. Richardson thinks, v.iiich, if adopted at once, may prevent the extinction of the animal. Tho buf faloes aro easily domesticated, and if ac custonHil from birth to domestic sur roundings, they become quite as easy to control tis ordinary domestic cattle. In tho northwest, where the winters are long and the thermometer sinks below zero at the slightest provocation, buffalo riihsist without any discomfort, while the winters there aro generally fatal to domestic cattle unless housed and looked after with the greatest care. "In Manitoba," said Mr. Richardson, "there is a herd of about fifty buffaloes owned by S. L. IJedson. Ernest E. Thompson, who is assisting me in the museum, has written an interesting ac count of them in a recent pamphlet on the 'Mammals of Manitoba.' A portion of this herd are half breeds, crossed with common cattle, another portion arethreo quarters bred, and tho rest are pure blood. It may be a question whether the pure breed will continue itself, but it certainly could be maintained if looked after. This herd has developed from live buffalo calves, brought by some In dians from Winnipeg in 1878. It re quires no care lieyond what is necessary to keep the different animals from wan dering or being stolen or shot, Tho buf faloes are as hardy as in their wild state. Mr. Thompson saw them late in Janu ary last year, when they were able to dig down in the snow and lind grass enough t t keep them fat. During a blizzard they would lie down in a group, with their backs to tho wind, and let the snow drift over them. The snow and their woolly coats kept them perfectly com fortable. In January, 1381, one of tho cows calved in tho ojien prairie, whero the thermometer registered 38 degs. be low zero, and both cow and calf survived and did not appear to suffer. "It seems to me that this i3 an import ant question for the farmera of tho north west, and the national government ought to take measures for tho encouragement of the raising of buffalo stock. An ordi nary cowhide is worth $2, but it ia use less as a rolx?, while an average buffalo hide is w-orth $10 and, as a robe, is al most indispensable in tho northern cli mate. The buffalo sheds its woolly hair once a year. This wool ia easily gath ered, and it works up well into a coarso yarn. One animal wiil yield ten to twelve pounds of raw wool. At on time there were factories for tho manu facture of buffalo wool, but they have disappeared with tluj buffalo. The wool of tho hybrid animal lieeoniea darkeiTind finer, and the buffalo hump disappears in the mixed breed. The animal itself be comes more docile, though retaining its h:trdiho.xl, jnd is a letter milker than the pure buffalo. This cross breeding affords a wide opportunity for 6tock raisers." New York Tribune. Tho aioet Decorated SlaTi. It would be difficult to say who is the most decorated man of Europe. Each of the three emperors and thg royal sover eigns of Europe aver;ga fiff v- grand crosses, with their resecttve appendages. Aside from th? sovereigns and princes, I should think the most decorated man must be either Count Andrassy, the f tinner chancellor of Austria, or the sta tion master of . a well known water ing place. Tho latter receives an aver age of three minor crosses annually, d? pending mainly on tho number of sovereigns an4 princes visiting tho place; station masters', physicians, polie.o com missioners and others fire in many in stances remunerated for their services with crosses, very much as the gato koex?r of the castle of Chillon receives a shilling from every visiting Englishman.

A rich man who beats his dog is no more important in Mr. Bergh's eyes than the poor man who torments his neighbor's pet. The coachman of a millionaire is the prisoner. His employer has become bondsman for him, and his attorney is present to see that justice is dealt out to him. And that is just what is done just that and nothing more or less. Ho was arrested for using an infamous bit, th Fides of which contained sharp tacks which pressed cruelly into the sides of the horse's face, inflicting such pain that he reared and danced. This gave him the appearance of great spirit. Mr. Dergh briefly states the case to tho court. ) Ihe bit is produced. Half ajt hour of argument is heard and the prisoner, in spite of his master's wealth and social jxKition, is fined $23. Benjamin Nor throp, Reform ia Our Pexwil System. It neetl3 no argument to show that wuv penal evstem is as bad a3 it can be. Prob ably one-half of those incarcerated could j lie made excellent citizens without licing j disgraced. Of the other half a large part, ; by a course of wise discipline, could bo lifted out of the ranks of vice and crime, i At present a man once in state's prison is ' pretty sure to be back again soon after his release, and his incarceration only ; hardens him. The only pardoning power now recognized as possible is that lodged ! in the hands of our governors: a iwcr ' that is generally exercised with discretion 1 and ends ia vast good. -We cannot too soon eradicate tho idea of vindjetiveness from our penrj system and substitute, therefor tho idea of reformation.

"I am very sorry for Jone:;," I reply. "He was a good fellow anil full of energy." "He v.ns all of that," remarks Smith. "JJut he wasn't quite smart enough for Wall street. I told him last spring how In; was going, but ho wouMu't believe me. Now ho wishes, I fancy, that ho Lad taken my advice. A man has to get up pretty early in tho morning to stand tho racket down here. "Aren't you afraiil. Smith, that they'll get your scalp one of theso days.'"' "Not a bit. They've tried it eric a; but I wear all my hair yet. I know their ways. I'm txj old a bird to bo caught."' Koino months later I ran upon Jlrown, of Chicago, and after a littlo chat I express the hope that Smith is nourishing. "Flourishing? . Not exactly. Haven't you heard what hnponeil to him; No? Ho wont short on Heading and he got 'busted in short order. He's so poor that he's in a cheap boarding house in Harlem. You remember what a liguro ho used to cut nt tho Windsor? He's trying to get up again; but he never can. His father left him a handsome for tune ten years ajo, and ho couldn't rai.-e f.ViO today. lie's too hopeful, too reckless. Ho doesn't know when to take in sail." "Hut mayn't you bo in tho same condition sometime? Tho Stock Exchange is the most uncertain of places. A man of j-our pur-' suits is always living i a mino." "Don't bother about me. I watch these thieves. They can't hurt me. I always sleep with ono eye oien, and they know it. Chi cago is sharjier than New York. A man edu cated there can get ou anywhere. ,llohii:.;o:i and I you know Iiobinsoa, of St. Louis haven't got caught yet, and we don't intend to bo. We're as wide awako as any of tl.o boys, and they know it." Six months later I am shaking hands with Robinson in Exchange place, and refer to Drown, hoping ho is still prosperous. "I wish ho wero; but the fact is that he is broken down. That big tumble in Western Union hurt him irreparably, and ho had a stroke of paralysis the next week, and he hasn't been down town since. It was partial only, but it makes Drown look old. HeV pjrown fifteen years older since last June. His sudden success turned his head, end ho went in too deep. I'm afraid ho hasn't much left. A man iu Wull street has to learn when to bo bold and wla-u to ! cau tious, and Brown never learned this. It was one of tho tirt lessens that I learned, and I l.arneJ it thoroughly. I've been c.poruthv: here six or seven years, and in that ti.ao l'vj r.ean scores of fellows ru'iiod. lU:t I've never Iweu crippled oven, and I ascribe my imifor;n success to judgment. Some people call it luck. Bab, there's no such thin;; as lack.'" "But is not your judgment fallible? Ono can not always keep on tho rhjiit tido of the jnarketr" "Few can; but i am or.o of tiie f .-w.-' One evening, just after a week of great disturbance in stocks, a disturbance almost upproaehing panic, I ran tuou a veil known broker, many of whoso customers are from tho west. Wo fell to talking o: tho di.:aste; s of tho wti:k, avid 1;2 nienf ioud thai. J'obinsun bad lost a lot of money on Manhattan, e.:: l his margined stocks had been sold out.

In j much money made in Wall nvc'it; "Almost nothing, ilea who make in ono thing Ipso iu another. I've been twenty-five years in tho street, and of tho hundreds who havo operated on margins through me I can scarcely recall half a dozen who havener, suffered in the long run. The truth i:i nine teen out of every twenty men perl.up3 thirty-nino out of forty aro gamblers by constitution. And when they begin gam bling they don't know when to leave off. No ono can imagine what misery and crimo AVall street causes unless he is en the inside. I often wish 1 had gone into some other business. I havo seen so much of the evil of rpeC'uKtioi). .bat I never speculate myself.'1 Since then my broker friend has failed by his rash attempt .o keep up a liae of stocks that had been drooping for months, and it is doubtful if he can resume. He is reported to me as a desperate speculator for a man of his means, though for many years he was one i f tho most conservative membi.r& ci tho board. The worst thing about Wall street is that it ruins men morally not less than financially. Tho habit of speculating is S bad as drai.-j drinking or opium eating.
