The Famous Duke and Duchess Breed,

A writer in the Mark Lane Express
gives the history of the origin of this
family of shorthorns, which has COM
manded such enormous prices for a
few years past. He says "The first
Of the family we hear of was brought
by Charles Colling from the duke of
Northumberland agent at Stanwix, a
massive, short-legged COW, of a yellow
ish red, with the breast near the ground.
She had q wide back and was a great
grower. Colling called her Duchess,
and had often described her to Bates
as a very superior animal, particularly
in her handling, and told him he con-
sidered her the best COW he had ever
seen, but that he could never breed so
good a one from her. She was de-
seconded from the old stock of Sir Henry
Smithson, of Stanwix. Thomas Bates
bought of Colling one of the descen-
dants of this COW in 1904 for 100
guineas, being fine dairy animal ; and
he bought another at Ceilings sale IN
1910. For the latter he paid 1873 guineas,
and styled her Duchess First, and from
her all of the present family descended.
Bates says he was induced to select
this tribe from having found that they
are great growers and quick feeders,
Will LILO VI AACnS3
little food in proportion to their growth,
and also finding that they are great
mixers.
Breeders are now manifesting much
interest to know the total number now
in existence of what are claimed to be
pure Duke and Duchess. Total num-
Der of females in the United States,
eleven, seven of which are owned by
Mr.. Alexander. How many of the re
naming four are breeders we are not
able to state ; two of them, at least, are
understood not TO be. There are six
/ females in Canada, owned by Mr..
Cochran. In Great Britain there are
understood to be about thirty-three
females. OF bulls, we have in the
United States sixteen, in Canada, two,
and in Great Britain about twenty.
Total in the United States, 81; in
Canada, 8 and in Great Britain, So
in all, SO. OF these, ten COWS in Ameri-
ca have Lord George cross, and four in
| England the same while six females
| in England have the Romeo, and eight
the Usurer GLOSS and Grand Duchess,
say ten, have Booth and other so-called
outside crosses. There are two with
Lord George Cross through Lord Duke
of Airdrie, and one at least, with the
| Grand Turk cross. OF the few so
called pure Dachesses, several are
doubtful breeders. OF the "strictlJ
pure bulls, the United States may
claim four Zone a doubtful breeder)
and Great Britain four-seven in all.

About six weeks ago there was heavy
rain of ashes and cinders along the
northern coast of Norway. covering the
ground several inches deep. Investi-
cation revealed the fact that these
strange materials, coming from a north
westerly direction ike immense clouds
through the air, were of volcanic origin.
1t was at once thought that there must
have been an eruption of Mount Hecla,
In Iceland. A steamer was dispatched
from Copenhagen. and that vessel has
returned from Reikaivik, with news of
an unparalleled disaster. 1t seems that
the outbreak began on Christmas, and
has continued ever since with scarce any
interruption. For seven weeks before
Christmas the inhabitants we're terrified
by subterranean noises ike thunder,
which extended through nearly two
thirds of the island. ElrlY in January

Vatrayskud opened, end for four weeks

liquid fire, lava, ashes, and a muddy
fluid mass at boiling heat. The village,
and some smaller hamlets and farms

destroyed, and over a thousand people
had to fee for their lives.
After four weeks this volcano ceased,
but at that moment another extinct
volcano, nearly hundred miles away,
near Myvatu, sent its burning mass upon
the peaceful habitations around. This
eruption lasted for several weeks, the
village of Myvatu became prey to the
fiery elements, and the whole country
for more than fifty miles around was
devastated. More than 500 of the
people are reported rs having been
ran6Ared hUEaoloss. z 1rIy in March

several hundred feet, and over a thou
sand feet in diameter at the base, amid
tremendous shocks of laundering be-
meath. They split open at the top and
vomjted forth their burning contents
upon the surface around them, covering
a distance of 200 miles. Ten Thousand
people are said to have lost nearly all
their possessions, and the remainder,
who live nearer to and along the coasts,
some forty thousand in number, are
Themselves too poor to support such a
vast number of needy people. Several
hundred persons are also reported to
have persisted. The world-renowned
Geysers have dried up since the terrible
eruption began, aud instead of water,
the mysterious tunnels emit immense
quantities of smoke and ashes, which,
during the night, rising several thou
sand feet into the air. appear like gigan-
| tic columns of fiameless fire, visible for
hundreds of miles. 1t is said that no
historic record of any volcanic eruption
anywhere in the world compares with
this, either in territory over which il
extends, the number of newly opened
| craters, or the time of It's duration.
The Copenhagen government has issued
an appeal for aid to the sufferers.

SWEET EVENING.

Sweet is the evening, when from the hedges
The shadows lengthen across She grass,
And through the tcees on the river edres
The lghts and tones OF the water pass
When, pale with their love, light clouds lean over
The wan, white face Of tue rising moon;
And full OF the scent Of the new-mOWn clover
Are the hawthorn lanes in the month Of June.
Sweet Is the evening: for thou, o dearest,
Who art tire sweetness Of every sweet,
Has lent thy tones to the tones that clearest,
And the meadows are bright with the trace Of thy
feet.
o the voice more sweet than the Wild birds tune
q the Joy OF my life that at length has found mel

A RELIC OF ROYALTY Caro-
lima can contribute TO the Centennial a
suggestive relic of the colonial days, in
the mace used by the serReant-at-aEms
of the provincial senate on great CO.
casions. In sDrayton's Memoirs," a
note thus speaks of it j: "This mace is
now the only remnant of official royalty
among us. Lord William Campbell
would have taken it with him when he
took the great seal of the province, but
it was fortunately beyond his control.
It is made of silver, giIded over with
gold, and it is said to have cost two
hundred guineas. 1t is about four feet
long, and of considerable weight, being
surrounded with the crown and great
seal of England, around the verge of
which are the two faces Of the provincial
seal of South Carolina, highly engrossed
and other ornamental devices. This
mace was mislaid for many years, but
was discovered IN one of the banks at
Philadelphia, where it had been lodged
for safe keeping, and is now at the sec

The Peculiar PEOPLE.

An English religious sect whose be-
lief prevents them from employing ply
sicIans in sickness, have taken measures
to establish large hospital from which
doctors shall be excluded and where
the only remedial agents used shall be
prayer and the amounting of the patients
body. It is improbable that the law
will allow the existence of such & hos
pital, as it has lately convicted a mem
Der of this peculiar sect of manslaughtel,
seeing that his invalid child died be-
cause of his refusal to employ doctor :;
but should such a hospital come into
practical working it would be exactly
the opportunity for the application of
the celebrated prayer gauge" It will
be remembered that some time ago
Prof. Tyndall set the teeth of the re-
hgious world on edge by proposing to
examine the truth OF the doctrine of the
physical efficacy of prayer by setting
aside ward In some hospital, the in
mates of which should be PRAYED for.
and if a larger number of them recov-
cred than in the unimprecated wards
the efficacy of prayer should be scknowI-
edged. The hospital of the Peculiar
People would be a crucial test In this
matter, and, as no physicians may enter
it, it viii afford more remarkable proof
on the religious side than Prof. Tyn-
dalls plan could have afforded, since
according to that the patients prayed
for were to have the benefit of medical
aid the same as those unpFaYed for.

from the correspondence which has been
