An Outline of tlio Pni-lvaletl Ald-nu-
t Ions nl' I hi : ( 'fiMieli tnplliil ,
Paris Is without question the most beauti
ful city , take It all In all , In Europe , with Its
magnificent broad streets , stately buildings
and delightful parks , and In addition to this
it Is the pleasure resort of the world. The
French are a thoroughly pati-lotlu people and
take great pride In everything thai Is l-'roncli.
The true Frenchman never counts the cost
when called upon to contribute to anything
that will tend to the irlorlllcation of la belle
Franco. This national trait will account for
the splendor that strikes the eye of the vis
itor upon his arrival in the gay French i-npl-
al , in tlio beautifying of which millions ol
francs have been cheerfully and lavishly ex--
: > emlcd by Its cltl/.ens.
The liver Holno runs through the heart of
the rlly , which forms nlmoU a circle , ahU Is
sunoundcd with hills , wlioso tops are
crowned with strong forts. The longest ill-
jinetcrof the city from I'orto Point tin .lour
n tlio southwest to tlioouter.no.st iiulnt of La
Vllletto In the northeast is about seven nnd a
lalf miles. Some idea of tun sUe of Paris
nay bo gained when itis stated Hint the city
. -ontains upwards of forty-live thousand
buildings , and a great many of these build
Ings nro flats nnd roiiMrurUd for the uccom
modatlon of sovural familins. It is divided
Into twenty districts , called arrondissoineiits
md has an almost perfect police system.
The must Important and beautiful streets
aiv the boulevards , many of which surpass
the streets of any city In the world in the
architectural beauty of the buildings and the
luxurious and tasteful manner In which the
various stores display their contents.
Then there nro the numornus and
tastefully decorated cafes ehantants ,
which form a special attraction for
the average foreigner. Pretty nearly
all the streets have macadamised roadways
and .stilt-wains paved with asphaltum , mak
ing travel luiltn pleasant , while in many of
of the streets rows of trees are planted on
i-ach side and comfortable scats are placed
at intervals on which tlio weary pedestrian
can take a rest free of charge. The Place do
In Couvordo , a inagnltlcent sijuaro ; the Obo-
llsiiuo do Luxor , iijpre.scnt from Mcliemot All
to Louis Philippe ; the .lardins dcs Tullories ,
containing old and handsome trees , and also
marble and bronze statues , ai-o .sonio of the
sights that should bo visited by a traveler.
Then tliero Is the Arc do Tnompliu erected
by rsapoleon. the Colonne VenUomo , the
stutuo In imirbloof Louis XIII. in the Place
dcs Vosgos. the Colonuo de Palmier in the
Place do 1'KtoIIo , and the inagnillccnt A re do
Triompho do 1'J'itoile , the largest triumphal
arch ever erected anywhere , which must all
bo seen to bo appreciated.
Another great attraction in this city of at
tractions are the grand military parades
which take place In the Champ ? IClysees.
Among the many interesting places that
must not bo missed are the .lardin d'Accll-
mutation , the gardens of the Palais Hoyal
and Luxembourg and the cathedral of Notre
Damo. Perhaps the most boautltiil mediae
val structure in tlio world is the cathedral of
Sto. Chapollo. On the right bank of the
Heine will bo found the celenrated I'.nitheon ,
and not very far from it is the oldest church
n Paris , St. Germain ties Pres , which wa ?
built in 10(11. (
The city is rich In palaces , of which the
most celebrated are the Tuileries , Louvre
and Palais Hoval. Other noteworthy build
ings t.re the Palais dn Corps Legislalif
Hotel dcs Invalidcs , an iirfosing pll
crowned by a gilded dome , and the Palais d
1'Instltut , In which the French Acadom
holds its meetings. There a rj nnv amount o
theaters and circuses giving dally perform
mi cos all the year round , and the concerts
'
given at tho' Conservatoire of Musiquo
have a European reputation , to say nothing
of the numerous cafes chantnnt.s ivhcro one
can pass a very enjoyable evening.
In the matter of libraries Paris takes the
lead. The Ulbliothqno Nationalo is probably
the largest and richest in existence , contain
ing over three million volumes of hooks , bj-
sides JH,000 ! ) manuscripts , and IIOO.OUO map *
and plans and other scientific treasures.
The .lardins des Plantes will bo found a de
lightful place for lovers of natural science ,
and a day can bo very profitably spent in
goinu through these gardens.
From any point of view that the prospec
tive tourist regards it , Paris will ho found to
offer inducements such as it will bo hard to
duplicate anywhere else.
There nro doubtless many who would ,
after reading this short and necessarily im
perfect sketch of this great city , llko to visit
it , but the question is how to do It whoa ono
has not the means. The solution is easy. All
a person has to do is a little rustling and
secure subscriptions for thu WCEKI.Y or Si N-
n.u IJii : : . Anyone obtaining the largest num
ber of wish subscribers for either of these
editions of Tin : HII : : between now and June
10. 1V.I1 , will bo presented , frco ot cliargo ,
with a round trip ticket , which will Include
llrst-class passage from New York to Europe
and return. With this ticket a person will
be able lo visit Paris and see all that has
been described above , and in addition all the
other Important cities In Iho principal
European countries. This is something
worth making an especial cftort to tocure.

Niiiiilieriny : Nava.lo Indians.
Colonel W. C ! . Marmon , who wiwapp-jlntcd
by the Interior department to tnko the census
of Iho Navajo Indians , has entered upon the
discharge of his duties. These Indians oc
cupy a reservation which lies in Now Mexico
and Arizona , adjoining Colorado , and covers
an area about as large as the state of Massa
chusetts. They nro supposed to number
about twenty thousand , but no attempt has
over been made to count them since they
were put on their present reservation , some
twenty-live years ago , and therefore all esti
mates in regard to their numbers nro mere
guesswork. Some of them aro'engaged In
tilling the soil and there will bo no inoro difli-
culty in making a correct enumeration of
these than there would bo In regard to an
equal number of any other people , but the
great majority of the tribe are horse and cat
tle raisers. They live on horseback and are
constantly moving about , so that making a
census of this portion of the trlbo will bo a
good deal like counting a Hock of birds on the
wing. Hut the man who lias been appointed
to do this work is particularly fitted for the
business. Ho has lived on the frontier for
many years , much of tlio time among the In
dians , speaks their lanL'tiaco thoroughly. Is
as well acquainted with their country as they
are themselves , and when his work is com
pleted his enumeration of the Navajos will
probably bo ns near correct as It would bo
possible to make it.
It is on this reservation that the Carrlzo
mountains are situated , In which some of iho
richest "gold leads" ever found la any part
of the country are believed to exist , but
which ai-o so carefully guarded by the In
dians that prospectors can approach this dis
trict only ni the peril of liieir lives. Hut
the census enumerator hopes to have an op
portunity during the COUMO of his woru to
gather.somo tact > in-rognrd to that part of
Mm reservation which will bo the moans of
Hiving the publlcsomo valuable information
with regard to the district In question , unit
the richness of its alleged mineral llelds.
I'lieiv is hardly any doubt of the facl that
thereIs some very rich gold country there ,
though nobody a.s yet has been able to learn
anything about the extent of the deposits.
Hut Colonel Marmon always travels with his
eves open , and If the Indians will glvo him a
"halfchanco" miners may expect some Inter
esting Information in regard to the Carri/o
country when ho conies back. The fact of
their being valuable mineral deposits in that
region Is so well known that the commls
sloner of Indian affairs has rccoinmendoil
that that portion of the reservation bo
thrown open lo the public , civlnir the In-
iilans ether land in lieu of It , snii-o the min
ing country Is of no value lo them. It Is too
rough and broken for agricultural or oven
grazing purposes , ami as they nuvor engage
In mining the district at present com
pletely useless , though if ono-hulf that has
been told of its mineral wealth is true it Is
destined to become 0110 of the most famous
mining districts in tlfojunlry.

Some of tlio Mistiikos of Feeders
and Shippers,1' was Uio tltlu of the fol-
owing piipor rotid before the .NchrnsUii
in proved Stock Feeders Association' '
by Hon. Hlijtih Killoy :
About one ycnr ngo t hud the pleasure
of rending in your huiii'iiitf u pnpui1
upon "Tho Hoof Industry from n Feud-
i'd mid Shippers Standpoint. " In-
t I touvlied upon Iho tliun
.Ipinorallzuil coiulition of the
eattlo market , and ffiivo what in my
ipinion wcro not tlio caucus , and
what were thi- causes of tlio duinornli/ii-
tton. Hriolly htiitcd my views wore us
follows : The railroads , against whii-li
there \\tis a popular clamor , had but
Itllo If anythtiif , ' to do with
the murltot , a" , with the increased
cnimcity of tlio cars , the lower
price per i-if : , and the greater speed with
whii-h jtoi-k was transptirtod , liottor fa
cilities were given than when the price
had boon hlghoi * . I claimed that tlio
" 15lg Four1' of wlilcli wo huar sc inuiih
wore not , to say the least , the prime
cause of the depressed coiulition of the
trado. With their facilities for utili/-
ing each and every part of tlio beef.
there was a sorlous quo-it ion in my mind
whether we could do away with the iin-
parking lioiit-os and dro.-oil beef
ronrorns. The time was pa * od when
isolated slaiighter hon-es could take care
of the immense nuinborof eattle thrown
on the inarkot oiirh year. Among the
causes which I believed to bo mitigating
against tlio hoof industry was tlio great
seopo of country west of the Big Muddy ,
almost exclusively devoted to the eattlo
industry. I spuliu of this fuel that for
yearb thesic great plains had been over
stocked and by this means had become
fed so closely that Uioy were not capable
of supporting more than half the mini-
bor ot cattle as formerly. In addition to
this another element , in the shape of
homesteaders and fanners was rapidly
narrowing this area , upon which these
herds had to gra/o.
Further , I thought congress had ,
through ignorance of the actual needs
of the eattlo men , worked an injury to
them by passing laws inimical to the
tnisiness. Among the measures that in
my opinion had worked a hardship upon
us' , I mentioned WHS the pleiira-pnon-
tuonia bill , which had caused some of
the old world conn tries to look upon our
eattlo with suspicion , .md others to ab
solutely forbid their importation.
The taking the duty oil raw hides was
another mensuro that in my opinion had
done us more harm than good , as was
the oleomargarine law.
Among the measures for relief I
thought some would eomo naturally.and
some could bo brought about by those
interested. Natural relief would eomo
when the market would cease to bo
glutted by the surplus eattle of the
western plains , and those plains hud
n jion thorn only the block they could
actually support. Hclicf could bo
brought about by more attention , breed
ing , buying and feeding , and the hold
ing of our eattlo until they wore ready
formarket.
In conclusion I bade feeders and shippers
pors bo of good cheer , and prophesied
hotter times in store for us. That my
promises were Iruo and the conclusions
drawn from thorn correct , I have the cat
tle market during the early part of the
past summer. Already had the leaven
began 16 work and prices risen in consequence
quence when the unlocked for hot winds
and dry weather came upon us and called
halt. Kvory man within the sound ot
my voice is nwnro of the immense nuin-
'
ho'r of eattlo rushed upon the inarkot
during the past six months , owing to
tlio scarcity and consequent high price
of feed. You all know , too , that the low
prices resulting from this glutting of the
inarkot is u natural result and that noth
ing else could bo looked for. Hut again
I bid you ho of good cheer , as this delay-
is , in my opinion , but the harbinger of
bettor times and bettor prices than wo
coiild have hoped for ) mu it not come
about.
So far I have spoken of the eattlo busi
ness as a whole , but thohon orablo secre
tary has given mo more speolllo work
for this pappr and I must begin to par-
ticulari/o instead of gonorali/o , and
speak of individuals rather than classes.
Hut before proceeding with the regu
lar ordur of this paper , I fool constrained
to speak a word upon the character of
cattlemen as I have found thorn in tlio
thirty years during which I have asso
ciate ! ! and had dealings with tliom.
During this thirty yours I have found
them , as a class , of the truest and
heartiest natures that can bo found.
Courage is one of their most noted char
acteristics and is manifested in their
bravery in hoinir out in till weather and
under all circumstances. Nothing
daunts thorn , from the cold cast wind
burdened with rain , that seems to chill
their very lives' , to the howling north
wester that keeps inoro timid people beside -
side their grates. They nro free and
open-hearted , and no cry of distress
passes unheeded. They are honorable
and fair in their dealings , both witli
each other and the rest of the
world. They are straightforward
in tliolr walk and seem bound with the
tie of good-fellowship whenever and
wherever they moot each other. It maybe
bo the free air of their outdoor life , or it
may bo that a man of moan disposition
has no love for Iho business , but what
ever It is it is trim that cattlemen ,
wherever found , are among nature's
noblomon. Long may thov live and
Ilourish upon the free prairies of the
beautiful west.
Mistakes , they sav , are miulo in the
most well regulated families , and , it may
bo added , in the most well regulated of
businesses. Further , 1 believe that in
no ether business tire Inoro mistakes
made In proportion to the number on-
gnged in it than in the eattlo industry.
Witness the number of failures , total or
partial , every your , aim the compara
tively small number of those making an
unqualillcd success of the business. Ono
of the Urst mistakes made bv the person
going into the eattlo business is
his eagornos's to acquire sudden
wealth nnd his proneness to uo ;
into the business too extensively
at onco. lie llgtires too loosely , and
llko the man who thinks that if a little
bit of a certain kind of medicine will do
good a great deal will do inoro good ; ho
thinks that if a llttlo money can bo made
with fifty head of eattlo inoro ran bo
'
made wl'lh 600. Ills logic would bo sound
if ho had equal facilities for handling
thu oOO that ho has for handling llftv.
Hut too often u feeder has twice us many
cuttle on bund as his capital ami facili
ties for handling will warrant. Cut

and selling CHUM'S many mistakes dis
astrous to the di-al'-r. Mtin.V feeders
have no Idea how and when to sell
and fail to accept an ofl'cr advantageous
to thoinseluis. The writer recalls an in
cident of this kind Unit happened within
tlio past year. Ho was asUod by a feeder
to eomo and look at a bunch of caltto
and see what ho could got for tliom. lie
went and made what lie thought was n
fair oiler for them. While
tlio feeder was hesitating
whether or not to accept the
olTer , another shipper came by and was
called in. Ho set u price a little in ad
vance of the writer's , who stopped
down and out. The feeder , who had
'eon ' hesitating about tlio lower price ,
ow absolutely declined to entertain the
lighur one , and shipped the eattlo him-
ols. and as u consequence was , to use ti
lomoly nut very expressive phrase , "in
ho soup" to a greater or loss extent.
Many feeders make mistake * in buyinir
swell'as in polling. Tl.oy go to a inaii
ho has eattlo to sell and inako him an
IVor. The man wishes probablyto look
round a little before giving a dolinito
mswor. Another ina-i comes along and
nakes him an oll'or a little in advance
f the first , and is put oil' in the same
ay. The first man calls again and is
told of the second olTor and immediately
goes a notch higher than tlio second.
Jno who has the cattle to boll now has
ho game well in hand. At oneo a sort
af panic sie/.cs upon the would-be buyers
md seemingly wit'i ' the idea that this
bunch of cattle is the only ono in exist-
nco , or nroliably with a kind of profess-
onnl rivalry , the man who gets
, ho cattle p.iys much inoro
or thorn than - the prospective
market will justify. Shipnors often
nuke the same mistake and then bewail
ho ruined coiulition of the cattle mar
ket , when in fact they have only their
: > wn lack of judgment to blame. The
mistakes in feeding tire many. Tlio
first and greatest mislako bus been
ouched upon above in the matter of too
nany cattle for the accommodations.
The amount of grass and rough food
.ipon the place should regulate the num-
> er of cattle fed. Until the holidays in
Nebraska , wo can count upon line
weather , and wliilo It lasts the grass and
ough feed upon the farm should nearly
if not quite sullico for your cattle. If ,
"lowovor , you got so many that all this
is oaten up in a few weeks and you have
lo begin on corn early in the season ,
our profits will not be so large as ox-
peotcd.
Tlio relative merits of shelled and
ground feed has a great deal to do with
tlio success or failure of a feeder. In
ny experience the dilToronco between
the two amounts to no inconsiderable
sum , and always in favor of the ground
feed. Careful experiments have con
vinced mo that eighty bushels of trround
corn arc equal to 100 bushels of corn un-
ground. At the present price for
that article it will bo seen that
the saving of the dilToronco , especially
when any great number of eattlo are
fed , would materially add to the prolits
of the transaction even after the cost of
the grinding is subtracted.
15ut the mistake most generally made ,
and the ono that works most disastrously
to themselves individually and to the
business generally , is inauo by the class
wo might term "fair weuthnr feeders. '
Those are the men who go into the busi
ness when it is fairly prosperous and in
their efforts to make a fortune , domoral-
i/o the market at once by their unbusi
nesslike proceedings. Wo will say that
for a few years the cattle business has
boon tit n disadvantage. Tlio men who
are making it their lifo work , and who
study it the same as any ether business
or profession is studied , have at last suc
ceeded in bringing it to its normal con
dition and are making by it a , litt.lo
money , immediately a horde of ether
iron with inoro money than knowledge
of the cattle business" , begin their opera
tions The llrst olTect is foil in the in
creased cost of stockers and feeders ,
incident to their wild buying. In a year
or two , owing to the prieo they paid for
their feeders they ( hid they have not the
honan/.a they expected and begin to un
load and lose monov , as do those , too ,
who have stuck to tlio business during
tlio past depression.
The cattle business , like any other
mercantile pursuit , has its ups and
downs , and it is these who stiok to it ,
thono who btny with It in fair weather
and foul , and expect and are prepared
for nps and downs , that will eomo out
ahead in the end. Those who enter it
only when the prospects are bright in
jure themselves and qthors by their act.
Look over the successful feeders and
shippers of Nebraska .today . and . \ou will
heo only those who are careful in their
buying , both in regard to number and
price ; those who tire careful in feeding ,
both in regard to quantity and quality ,
and tho.-o who liuvp that peculiar of
stick-to-lt-ive-iioss that is the foundation
of all business success. Then , 1 say ,
feeders and shippers , lot us Do of good
cheer , for that old saying : "It is a long
hino that has no turning , " applies to
our business as well as any ether , and
brighter times are In store for us.
Let us , then , buy t'onsorvatively ' , food
carcfully.soll with judgment ; try all and
hold fast to that which Is good , and
above all not bo dislioartenod by fid-
vorsity , and wo bluill in the end reap
our reward.

The Capllol Dome
The capltol uomoat AVashinnton is the
only considerable dome of iron in tlio
world. It is a vast hollow sphere wolfh-
in # S,000WO : pounds. TJow iniieh is thiitV
Moro than 4.000 tons , or almost the
woifjlit of 70,000 full prowu porsoiib , or
about equal to 1,000 ladenod coal cars ol
four tons each , which , if ttrnntr out ono
behind the other , would occupy a mile
and a half of track. On Iho very top of
the dome the allegorical figure "Amor-
ion , " weijjhintr llt/.tHo pounds , lifts its
proud head hlsfh in air. The pressure
of this dome and fliruro upon the piers
and pillars is 14177 pounds to tlio square
foot. It would , however , require -i
pressure of "fl-S.S d pounds to the square
foot to crush the supports of the dome.
The cost of this immense dome vaa little
short of $1,000,000.

The odor of eamtihor , which often em
anates from celluloid , is an clement of
disadvantage , and the combustible nat
ure of the substance is a utill grouter ob
jection. An Austrian chemist announces ,
however , that ho has Invented a now
substance that Is devoid of these objec
tions. Like celluloid , the principal in-
yrodiont of hyaline , as the comnounil iw
called , Is gun cotton , but the Inventor
claims that ho can destroy Its combust- !
big nature. The other materials used
are various yuins , resin , lac , copal ,
damnr and turpentine. Hyaline is said
to bo very tenacious , liiphly clastic and
soini-transparont , while it is entirely
without odor.
