How to Tell the Age OF Cows.

The ages of horned cattle may gen
orally be known by the rings on
their horns till their tenth year, but
after that time they give no indica-
ton of age further than that the ami
NAL has passed its tenth year. The
first ring appears on the horn after
the animal is two years old-soon
after, as a general rule, though some
times before that age. During the
third year the ring gradually ia
creases, and at three years Of age it is
completely formed. The second ring
appears during the fourth year, and
at the end of the same year is CON-
plete. After that period an addi-
tiOnal ring is formed each year. This
rule is sufficiently plain. and even a
farmer needs but little practice
to enable him to read a cows age
on her horns. A COW with three
rings is five years old; with four, is
six years old. No new rings are
formed after the tenth year. The
rings, however, and the worn
appearance of the horns are pretty
sure indications of old age.

Upon One Ofthe Louisville Life

From the Louisville L commercial.

in the city during the late flood, he

of printed instructions for -esuscita-

Captain Devan furnished each one
of his men with a copy, and instruct

of resuscitation a practical test for
the purpose Of seeing how proficient
his men would prove themselves to
be in the art If restoring to life per-

Drezell, one of the toughest men of
the crew, was selected as the victim
upon whom to make the test. OF
course he was not let into the secret,
and at a given signal he vas thrown

leaped after him and held him down
under the water until he Was almost
q ''gOner."
Then he was pulled aboard the boat
and the practical test commenced.
The victim was laid first on his back
with a roll of carpet under him amid |
ships. The water was wiped away
from his mouth and nostrils. Then
he was slapped vigorously three or

picked up and turned over. face down.
Then the pumping process COM
menced. Placing his fingers under
the short ribs and the ball Of his
thumb on the back of the victim,
Connolly pressed downward and for
ward, causing a stream of water to
squirt from Drazell's mouth, that
would have reached to the roof of q
four story building. Then he was
raised up in mid air and shaken for a
moment OF two, when he was turned
over on his back and pumped again.
At every squeeze the water flew from
his mouth, and presently he showed
signs of returning life. Captain De-
a and Jack Gillooly, who had
been sitting silently by to see
that the job was correctly per-
formed, knew that when Drezell
''come to-" there would be h to

keep pumping him, boys, they re-
tired to a distant part of the boat.
Presently the victim opened his eyes
and almost instantly recognized what

was time for them to be "~dusting."
Connolly jumped through an open

The Career of the Great Russian
Statesman Ended.

Prince Gortschakon, ex.Chancellor of the
Russian Empire, whose serious Illness was
announced In Saturdays CRITIC, died at
Baden. Baden yesterday. In the death of
and most successful statesman; a diplomatist
who obtained his training under the condl-
tions that prevailed in the early part of this
century, aud yet possessed the faculty OF
adapting his policy and methods to the
changed conditions of the new era. He was
born July 16, 179s, and educated at the Uni
versity OF Kharkof. Having acquired the
rudiments of diplomacy under Nesselrode, he
was In 1921 appointed secretary OF legation at
London. Six years later he was made charge
cilIor Of the embassy at vienna. While at
Stuttgart in 1s4i he negotiated the
marriage marriage Of ,, the Russian Grand Grand
Prince (now king of Wurtemberg, which event
led In 1916 to his being made privy councillor.
In 1850 he held tho important position of
plenipotentlary to the German Diet at Frank
endorfr as ambassador In Vienna. His repu-
tation was greatly enhanced by the tact and
and by the treaty of Paris. signed mainly
through his influence In March, 1885, He
now succeeded Nesselrode as Minister of For
eign Affairs, and in the following year attend
ed the Emperor Alexander in his interview
with Napoleon III In Stuttgart. His policy at
this time was directed to the restora-
tion of Russia to the position OF influ-
ence In Europe which had been lost In
consequence OF the unfavorable issue
Of the Crimean war. He advocated the appll-
cation of the principle of nationalities In the
Two Sicilies, and at the same time found OPP
portunity to disclaim any idea on the part OF
Russia OF taking revenge for past defeats.
His popularity at home and prestige abroad
were greatly increased In 1868 by his decla-
ration of aversion TO foreign dictation, taking
as the occasion of making this declaration
the Interference of foreign powers In behalf
OF the Poles during the tnsurrection of that
year. In July, 1868, he was promoted to the
ONCE OF chancellor, position he Allied until
within the last few years, when he volunta-
rily retired. His most brilliant achievement
was his securing, at the London conference
in 1871, revision OF the treaty of Paris and
the formation OF another, which put an end
10 the naturalization OF the Black sea. This
was done during the Franco-Prussian war,
when, under the exigencles OF his situation,
Bismarck became willing TO yield to the
pressure, OF which Gortschakoff made timely
application. The Gear rewarded his chancellor
for this removal of n stigma under which his
people chafed by comforting upon him the
dignity OF serene highness. In the Central
Asian question of 1S73-74 he favored a concil.
iatory policy toward England, and his course
during the last war with Turkey Is still fresh
in the public mind.

In the Baltimore Conference of the NJ. L.

place of meeting of next session Of confer

extended by Rev. L. T. Widerman TO come

Rev. Mr.. Widerman argued that as next
year, the centennial of American Method
ism, would be celebrated, Baltimore was
peculiarly fitting place for holding the con
ference, for 1t was in that city the church
was first organized and the first conference
held. Monument Street, he said should be
selected, for in that church 800 souls were
converted during great revival some forty
to fifty years ago.
ington as the place of meeting. He said
some thought that there was no Baltimore
conference outside of Baltimore city. If the
number of persons converted was to be taken
into consideration, the conference might go
to Jerusalem, as 5000 persons were con-
verted there on one occasion.
Rev. Job Price asked, Have we any invi-
tation to go there? Laughter.
Rev. G. II. Richardson advocated Wash

rights which Baltimore ought to respect.

Not as Inhuman as Reported.

The inquest yesterday morning in the
case of the colored infant alleged to have
been burned to death by its mother, Lucy
Williams, showed that the reports furnished
by the police were grossly exaggerated.
The testimony of Fanny Webster,
midwife; Rachel Brewster, DR.. Shedd and
DR.. Beall was taken as to the condition of
the woman and the birth OF the child.
Officer Rhodes testified to having brought
the body of the child to the Second Pre-
cinct Station from Lucy Williams room,
and that it was the same body upon which
DIR. Hartigan held an autopsy. DR..
Hartigan testified to having made the
autopsy. He said he found the child to be
a male, fully developed, apparently born at
the proper time. 1t was covered with SCOT
or coal dust, which clung to it, as it had
not been washed after birth, but there were
no marks of violence Of any kind on the
body. In his opinion the child had GER
tainly been born alive, and had died from
want of attention at its birth.
After hearing the testimony the jury re-
turned verdict of death from willful ne
glect ON the part of the mother" The cor
oner ordered that as soon as the mother was
able to be removed from the hospital, where
she now is, she should be taken to Jail to
await the action of the Grand Jury.
