How 70 Ascertain the Weight Of Live
Cattle BY Measurement.

SEE that the animal stands square;
then take his circumference just behind
the shoulder-bl ade-this is the girth.
Then measure from the bone of the tail
which plumbs the hinder part of the
bullock, and direct the string along the
back to the forepart of the shoulder
blade; this will be the length. Then
work the figures thus: Suppose the
girth of bullock six feet four inches,
length five feet three inches, which null
tiplied together make thirty-three square
superficial feA; and these multiplied by
twenty-three-the number of pounds al
lowed for each superficial foot of cattle
measuring less than seven and more
than five feet in girth-make 759
pounds. When the animal measures
less than nine and more than seven feet
in girth, thirty-one is the number of
pounds to be estimated for each super
fetal foot. And suppose small animal
TO measure two feet in girth and two
feet in length, these multiplied together
make four feet, which multiplied by
eleven-the number of pounds allowed
for each square foot when cattle meas
ure less than three feet in girth-make
forty -four pounds. Again, suppose
calf, or sheep, ETC., to measure four feet
six in girth, and three feet nine inches
in length, that multiplied together
makes sixteen square feet, and these
multiplied by sixteen, the number of
pounds allowed for cattle measuring
less than five and more than three feet
in girth, make 256 pounds. The dimen-
sions of cattle, sheep, calves and hogs,
taken this way, will give the weight of
the four quarters of the animal, sinking
the offal. A deduction must be made
for animals half fat; one pound in twen-
ty for those that are fat: and for COW
that has had calves one pound must be
allowed, in addition to the one for not
being fat, upon every twenty.-Country

A Missing Husbands Return.

SURROGATE LIVINGSTON, of Kings
County, has put into the hands of the
Public Administrator an estate over
which there promises to be an impor-
tant and very interesting litigation.
Forty-tive wears ago ayoung imam named
Phillips. living in Brooklyn, married
Miss Jane f. Howard, who was one of
the heirs TO valuable estate, including
the Parade Ground at East New York.
The Young couple took mp their resi-
denoe in Washing ton street, BROOKLYN,
and all went well for six years. A son
was born 10 them in 1911, and very soon
afterward Mr.. Phillips suddenly disap-
peared. No trace of his whereabouts
was found after a long and careful
search, and he was at last given up for
dead. Mrs. Phillips. satisfied that her
husband was dead. married, in 1850,
MIR. Henry Virgins, of Parkville.
Twelve Years ago the East New York
Parade Ground and other property of
the estate in which Mrs. Virgins was
interested was sold. realizing about
$500, 200. Mrs. Virgins died in the
fall of last year, leaving an estate eSti-
mated at between 100000 and $780,
600. She made no will A few weeks
ago Mr. Phillips, of whom nothing had
been heard since 1871, suddenly APP
peared in Brooklyn. and called upon his
son. DIR. Howard w. Phillips, who is a
well-known physician residing on Gin
ton avenue. His return has hitherto
been kept quiet. only the intimate
friends OF the family knowing anything
about it. Mr.. Virgins recently APP
piled for letters of administration on
his wife's estate. but as she died with
out making will. the Surrogate turned
the estate over TO the Public Admins
traitor. The litigation consequent upon
the settlement OF the estate is expected
10 bring out some interesting history of
Mr.. Phillips doings since 1871. Mr..
Phillips and his son decline to make any
statement in regard to the matter-N

Grant and Conkling attended a
political meeting at Utica, Monday
evening, at which the former pre-
sided and the latter made an adj
dress.
After the meeting they strolled
down the street, arm in arm, and
dropped into bar-room. AS they
entered, Grant threw his cigar stump
into spittoon, squirted some tobac-
co juice on the floor, and said:
"What'll you have, Rock?'
"Gimme a whisky sour" replied
the man with the cow-lick on his
forehead. "What you goin' to
have?'
"I'll take some gin an sugar."
announced the ex-president.
As the young democrat behind
the bar proceeded to fill their order,
Grant slapped Conkling on the
shoulder and remarked:

"NOt much," replied Conkling,
emphatically. "We'll drink to the

"All right, here's a CO."
They then touched glasses, drank
the contents, and Roscoe, with a
majestic wave of the hand, said:
"Set 'em up again, menial."
Then turning to Grant, the sena-
tor asked:
How'd you like my effort to-

Broken Bone Fever.
savannah News.

Dengue, or broken bone fever,
also known as "dandy fever"
"bucket fever" and "bouquet fe-
ver," is said to have made its first
appearance as malady in the West
Indies in 1897, at which time it was
also communicated to the southern
part of the United States. The dis
ease, as has been previously stated,
received the name "dengue" from
the Spaniards of the West India
islands, from their word deRglte, de-
noting prudery, which expresses
Stiffness pain in the bones and
stiffness of the body being the prin-
cipal features of the sickening dis
ease.
During the past few months re-
ports have come from every quarter
in the southern states, regarding
the prevalence of this troublesome
but not necessarily fatal disease.
But few if any deaths have been
made known from its effects. Near
ly every citizen of Savannah has
had touch-some light, some Sc
vere-of the malady, and not one of
them can give a definite explana-
ton of the tOrtures of the disease.
1t has spared no one-adults, chill
dren, little men, large men, white
men, black men, business men,
sporting men, printers, editors, law
yers, everyone being subject to its
fond embrace.
AS for cure or a preventive for
the little nuisance, we are not pre-
pared to say what is good or what is
not good in either case, but leave
the matter to the physicians, who,
by the way, have been reaping
rich harvest from the unlucky vic
Tins of the disease. Some persons
have gone so far as to say that the
fever is more violent on those who
have defied it before falling into its
clutches; but for this we cannot
vouch. We can say, however, that
anyone, sooner or later, who is
among its victims, does not wish a
second battle in order to show bet
ter fight. Probably for the above
reason more than anything else
that is, its severity on those who
defy tive do not wish to agitate
