A Mighty Duoal Hunter.
London World.

LONDON world.
I see it stated in q weekly journal
that the Duke of Westminster "rents
10000 acres of shooting in Scotland at
the present time" As a matter of fact
the Duke rents about 100 900 acres,
for, in addition to Reay Forest 10000
acres) he also leases the adjoining shoot
ings of Errihol, Corrykinloch and Glen
dhu, which includes some of the best
grouse moors in Sutherlandshire. The
Duke Of Westminster's sporting rental"
is over go, 500 a year. as in addition to
his shootings he pays the Duke of Suth-
erland G2O0 ayear for the fishing on the
Laxford, the little river which flows out
OF Loeb Stack (the best angling loch in
the county, and one of the most beauti.
full in the Highlands), and which reach
es the sea zeal Scourie, where there is
some of the grandest cliff scenery in
Great Britain. The deer in Reay For
est are unsurpassed for Size md quality,
as, during the last thirty years, the
greatest pains have been taken to i'm
prove the breed, aud stays have. been
imported from Savernake and from the
Great Park at Windsor. There are six
beats in the forest, which yielded 100
stays last year, and SO IN 1882. The
whole of this vast area consists of land
which is quite incapable of cultivation.
This seasons sport has been up to the
average.

Climate of California.

San Francisco Letter.-I wish to re-
cord what old California residents tell
me about the climate, or climates, for
the state has a dozen. There is q great
deal of consumption here, attributable
to various causes, particularly in San
Francisco and the cities. The climate
of S. f. except in winter-January and
February-is severe on persons who are
not fairly robust-raw and cold in the
morning. delightful from ten until one,
windy aud disagreeable after that. The
Californian who suffers from phthisic,
betakes himself to the mountains for a
cure instead of going to the mild coast
resorts, like Santa Barbara or San
Diego; and the Santa Cruz Mountains
are mentioned as affording a very desir-
able and curative climate. But if one
requires a mild and agreeable climate,
I know of nothing more desirable than
Monterey, Santa Cruz, and the resorts
farther south on the coast, as far as Los
Angeles. They are undoubtedly far
better than Nice, Cannes or Mentone,
in the south of France, which are so
much patronized by invalids, and these
can be reached by Americans without
an ocean voyage, and it is always a COM
fort to be under ones own flag.

The Long Drouth in Georgia.


The present fall is likely to pass into
the weather record as phenomenal for
its high temperature and lack of rain.
There is hardly anything dryer than
this weather, unless it is the alleged
campaign of Mr.. Peter st. John. The
so-called equinoctial tempest has been
omitted altogether, and there have been
no such things as storms or rain SIM
liar to those we have been accustomed
during September and October. It
has now been more than sixty days
since this section has been visited by
anything like o good rain. Here in the
city the effects of the drouth would be
more seriously felt were it not for the
water-works, upon which the dry wealth
er has apparently made no impression.
In some parts of the city there is o COM
plant that the water in the wells has
sunk until it is hard to get enough for
domestic purposes. In the country
streams are running dry, underground
in the forest is dying out, and day by
day the condition grows worse, only
for the gathering of the crops. Aud yet
there is not the slightest indication of
such q rainfall as needed.

d Munmies.

A subject which has important bear
ings on the vexed question of cremation
was broached at the recent meeting Of
the Social Science Congress, in a paper
by Mr.. Thomas Bayley, Of Birmingham.
In spite of much that has been said
and written to the contrary, the prac,
tice of burning the dead must, in oul
opinion, and as We have stated else
where, lack the sanction of law so long
as it does not afford a further guarantee
than that required in cases of burial
that death has not resulted from foul
play. The paper alluded to recognizes
this difficulty, and proposes a plan
by which it may be met. 1t is
but the following: The bodies, loose
ly but completely enveloped in cotton
wool, and placed within air-tight
cases, are exposed, in a subterra-
neal gallery filled with cement. to the
action of cold air, which is chemically
dried and purified by filtration from pu-
trefactiye bacteria. After a time dry
air Mt a higher temperature is used in
the anne way. The result is mummif-
cation, the integument remaining white.
Bodies which have undereone this pro-
cess may, it seems, be kept for an in
definite period without evidence of
change, if protected from damp; may,
if required. be submitted to examine
alton by analysis or otherwise in an adj
joining'cool and dry mortuary chamber,
may be cremated or otherwise disposed
of.-Lancet.

Blondes Ont Of Fashion.

New York Correspondents Chicago Tribune.
1t occurred to me the other night
while at the theater that the blonde
has had her day. Advices have not ar
rived from Paris, as they usually do at
this season concerning this subject, but
from o casual inspection of the women
whom 1 have seen at the Union Square,
Days and Wallack's Theater since
Monday 1 am quite convinced that the
dark haired girl is to be the go this
winter. Every one must remember
what q ridiculous blonde craze set in
four years ago. No one knows exactly
where it originated, but men were
startled by seeing lifelong friends
whose hair had always been dark turn
slowly or rapidly, as the case might
have been, to pronounced and artificial
blondes. 1t began to seem about q
year ago that no natural blondes
were left on Manhattan Island. Nearly
every had yellowish, straw-like,
canary-colored hair, coupled in the ma
jority of instances with dark eyebrows
and eyes a %curiously inharmonious COM
plexion. The fashion spread with ex-
traordinary rapidity. The papers
teemed with the advertisements of
quacks who agreed to turn hair to q
golden hue for rs cents q bottle, and
the news columns of the same papers
occasionally had sensational stories of
girls who had become demented from
the excessive use ofthese dyes. It was
said at n time that if q mar assembled
to a reasonable altitude in q balloon
and gazed down through the skylights
of New York houses he would see
thousands of ONE lying on their
backs with their hair spread over a
board bleaching slowly by means of soda
and the sum-. In this state of affairs a
genuine blonde, or a straight up-and-
down hot-tempered, freokle-faced and
red-headed girl became a yeritable
queen among the throng of artificial
beauties. Now, apparently, every one
has grown weary OF it all, with the re-
suit of a decidedly gratifying and much
more picturesqe nature.

apt illustration the utter failure of Miss
Jennie Chamberlain as a social star in
New York. She came from Cleveland,
where her family is popular, and, though
she is a girl of singular beauty and
great charm of manner, she was coldly
received here. All Europe has raved
about her beauty for three years, and
she is the most popular girl in the Prince
of Wales set in London, but she is sell

she is more beautiful than the girl who
may with justice be called the belle OF
New York. Comparisons have fire.

beriain and Miss Marion Langdon, and
nearly always, as far as beauty is con
cerned, in favor of the Cleveland girl.
Miss Langdon, by the way, bids fair to
be the pioneer American professional
beauty. She is a tall girl, with o SUI
perb figure, q classical face of the dark
type and reserved and ever naughty
manners. She ls the daughter of Mrs.
Philip Schuyler, one Of the old fami-
lies, and has a fortune in her own right

traordlnary combination of wealth,
beauty and social position. New York
ers worship her-they will have none OF

King of the Pork Butchers.

Chicago Letter in the Galveston News.
A middle-sized man, with shoulder
solid and broad enough to belong to a
shoulder-hitter, vas making his way
across Washington street.
"The most talked-of man in the west, f"
said a man at my elbow.
"Who is he?"
"Phil Armour" was the reply. The
pork kings figure is worth looking at.
One marvels in the first place where in
the world the great operator got such a
muscular frame. A large, square head
sits well upon the shoulders. The face is
pleasant, broad, frm-looking and clean
shaven, except for small side whiskers
under the temples. While he was get
ting across the street from a restaurant
to his office a half dozen people recog-
niZed him and spoke to him. It was q
remarkable transaction, this last great
deal by Armour, the cleyerest and most
profitable, say the provision crowd,
since the gigantic one of 1879, which
involved the pork of the whole globe
and Melted a profit of So, 500 900.
Armour is a great trader, not a BIZ
zarrs Spectator, nor millionaire by
crooked manipulation of railroads, nor
a rich man by the possession of an easy
monopoly. With the 1 1000 men in his
employ, with the l%ieutenants he
SO successfully selects, he annually
distributes $40, 900 900 worth OF
food products, undersells most
of his competitors and con-
trolls the markets of the world. Be
cause in two or three great strugg les
between him and spectators who
thought to compass his ruin he routed
speculative adversaries and made vast
sums OF money out of them he is popu-
larly set down, as q great produce
spcculator, but he is not merely a spe-
culator.
II have got TO- 900 men in my employ
and my business supports $4,000 people,
the wives and children of my men," he
likes to say. II have an agent in pretty
nearly every good sized city in Christ
entom. Ihave got $50 men in my Of
fee keeping my books and making out
bills. I am no s%peculator; I buy on
the speculative market-not to sell
again on the speculative market, but
to distribute to the people, who eat up
the property"

Car. and Feeding Of ssoo. In Winter.

There is no one thing that the far
mer is called upon to do that requires
more thought and judgment than the
care and feeding of stock during our
long and sometimes severe winters.
The first thing to see to is the barn, to
have it warm and comfortable. Boards
and nails are cheaper than hay or grain
cattle kept warm require less feed to
keep them in a thriving condition. And
just here let me say that no one, if he
would get pay for his feed, should keep
stock that is not thriving. Any one
keeping young stock that is not growing
is losing what he feeds, for it takes but
little MORE, after giving them just
enough to keep them stationary, to get
a growth that will pay for all they eat.
Cattle should be fed regularly and as
nearly Us possible at the same hours OF
day, so that they may know when to ex-
pect their meals aud have them when
they expect them. For the last few sea.
sons I have practiced feeding my cat
tie as followes: At six o'clock A. NJ, 8
slight feed of hay, followed by another
of the same kind when the firstis about
eaten; then at about eight o'clock those
that are to have meal are given their
r%ations; then the watering commences,
after which a light feed of corr fodder
is given. Then they are left till three
o'clock P. M, when I feed some of the
poorest feed I have which is straw or
swamp hay; after which they are again
watered and then fed o light feed Of
good hay; followed again, as the last
feed, with corn fodder. I find by fol-
lowing this method of feeding a little
ct a time with a variety that the diff
ferent kinds of feed are eaten up clean
er and with better relish. Whatever
Of sorts are left by the cattle, rs there
often will be when feeding the poorer
hay, 1 take ont and throw TO the sheep
in the yard, SO that nothing is lost.
Nothing but sheep are fed out Of doors
and they orly as above, as they have
their regular feed racks under cover.

A Modal Ghost story.
Boston Courier.

Boston courier. @
A very singular story which forms
one Of the sensational topics Of the day
is the best authenticated Of the many
stories Of the supernatural that have
been lately told. Only . short time
ago a well known artist, Mr.. A., WA
invited to pay q visit to his distin.
guished friend Mr.. Lizard. The house
was filed with guests, but q large and
handsome room was placed at his dis.
posal, apparently one Of the best in the
house. For three days he had q de
lightful visit; delightful in all particr.
lars save enc he had each night = hor-
rible dream. He dreamed he was-or
was really-suddenly awakened by
some person entering his room, and in
looking around saw the room brilliantly
lighted, while at the window stood 8 lady
elegantly attired, in the act of throwing
something out. This accomplished, she
turned her face toward the only specta.
tor, showing a c~ouptenence so distorted
by evil passions that he was thrilled
with horror. Soon the light and the
figure with the dreadful face disap-
peared, leaving the artist suffering from
. frightful nightmare. Onreturningto
his city home he was SO haunted by the
fearful c~ountenance which had for
three consecutive nights troubled MIN
that he made o sketch of it, and SO real
that the evil expression seemed to hor-
rify every day n who saw it. Not q
great while after the artist went to
make an evening visit on MI. lizard;
that gentleman invited himto his pic
turo gallery, as he wished to show him
some remarkable old family portraits.

nize among them. in the likeness ola

She was the second wife Of nay great

his neck in q fall from o WINDOW, and

St. sav,our's at Moscow.

Twelve million dollars is q large sum
to expend IN building j single church,
but the new cathedral of Moscow cost
more than that sun. 1t has been near
ly halt q century in constructing. but
the wonder is not that the time is SO
long, but rather that it has been SO
short. Very few of the famous cathe-
drals of the world have been erected
and completed within the limits of q
single life. Wars have interrupted the
building, or funds hive failed at times in
most such cases.
The great cathedral of st. Saviour's

ance of Russia from Napoleon Bona.
parte, in 1912. Less than three months
after the retreat of the French the En-
peror Alexander I. issued a decree that
the church should be built, and a few
years later the foundations were laid.
Jobbery is the curse of all Russian
government-work, and after those who
had this matter in hand had spent and
squandered about three-million dollars,
the church was abandoned, a anew site Sc
lected, and the work was begun all ever
again.
The work of laying the foundation of
the great structure was completed in
July, 1888. It took twenty years to
erect the building and cover it in, and
the scatfolding was taken down in 1858.
This scaffolding alone costtwo hundred
thousand dollars.
Since that time the interior has been
nearly finished, and the cathedral will
soon be constructed. IT is o wonderful
structure, with five great gilded copper
cupolas, surnounted by crosses, the
central one of which stands three
hundred and forty feet from the ground.
The whole building is faced with
marble, and the interior is pronounced
the most exquisite in its decoration in
Europe. There are magiicent paint
ings, elegant windows, costly Candida,
bra, and the floor and walls are inlaid
with many varieties Of marble in the
best taste.
One hardly knows whether to be more
%astonished at the grandeur of the edi-
fee or at its exceeding richness. For
there is hardly anything in the world to
equal the gorgeous splendor of the al.
tar and its accompaniments; and yet

The bells for this church cost seven
ty-fve thousand dollars; the largest
weighs twenty-six tons, and the small

great many bells, as there always are
in Russian churches.
Only by the resources of an empire
ruled as Russia is, by a single will,
could such a church have been built
