GREAT MILK PRODUCERS.
Two Holstein Heifers Beating the Record

Two Holstein Heifsrs Beating the Record
-ssS,ooo for Cow and Calf
From a Newburgh, N. Y. Letter.
The two 3-year.old Holstein heifers,
Jamaica and Ethelka, owned by Mr..
John Mitchell Of Meadowbrook Farm,
six miles from this city, have beaten the
record for milk production. A compar-
ison of their yield Of milk, made few
days ago, with the best previous record,
that of Clothilde, S-year-old belonging
to Smith 4 Powell, large importers at
Syracuse, N. Y, shows that both Jamaica
and Ethelka surpassed the yield of Clo-
thilda, the former nearly doubling it.
Since then both heifers have increased
their yield 80 fast that Mr.. Mitchell is
astonished. and marvels at what the end
is likely to be. Besides exceeding the
best score for 3-year-olds in milk pro-
duction, Jamaica has also produced in
one week 20 pounds and ounces of fine
unsaltei butter. The records are kept
by Mr.. Mitchell and his sons, and there
is no question about their accuracy.
The statement below will show that
both heifers have beaten the great COW.

which yielded in one day "a pounds and
IL ounces, and the still greater COW Un-
dine, owned by G. s. Miller of Peter

statement is for 81 days, ending Satur.

A Japanese Engineer.
Baltimore Sun.

Mr.. I. A. Matsdaira, the new City En-
gineer of Bradford Pa, is native of
Japan, and the first man of his national
ity to be chosen to civil Office in the
United States. He was educated in this
country at the expense of his father, a
wealthy Japanese nobleman, and upon
graduating, asked consent to remain a
few years longer t, practice civil engin.
eering, to which he had devoted much
study in his college course. His father
replied that unless he came home on the
next steamer his allowance wou,;i cease
and he need expect no more help from
him. The son replied that he would
stay, and the father became angry and
wrote to his Japanese friends to have
nothing to do with the young man. He
stayed and practiced his profession, act
ing fol- some time as Assistant Engineer
of the Manhattan Elevated Railroad
Company in New York, and afterward
for three years as Chief Engineer of the
Union Pacific Railroad in Wyoming,
Idaho and Montana When elected
City Engineer of Bradford he was en-
gagged on railroad work in Mexican
County, Pa.

KRAO-A MISSING LINK.
A Child from Birmh's Jongies winch Is
claimed to be the "MissiDg Link"
The Continent.


The Continent
Mr.. Carl Book, while exploring the
wild iungles Of upper Birmah. Asia, dis
covered and captured strange family oil
human monkeys, consisting Of iather,
mother. and daughter. The father was
first caught, aiterward the child, when
the mother voluntarily surrendered.
Mr.. Beck had much trouble in getting
his captives out of the country on ac-
count of the superstitions of the people.
Frst he was opposed by the ruler OF Laos
in whose province the capture was made.
The father finally died of cholera, and
he was permitted to take the child with
two chiefs before the king of Siam, but
the mother was not allowed 10 go. Alter
much parleying he was at last required
to adopt the child as his own, and give
security for its good care, and then allow
ed to take it to England where it was
exhibited at the Royal aquarium, West
minister, London.
Krao is 7 years old, and is quite a
beauty Notwithstanding some peculiar
characteristics that might be deemed
defects in a Caucasian. Unlike the usu-
al monkey type, she has two hands and
Two very pretty, human-looking feet;

laughs when pleased, and Is very spite
tul when angry. Her legs from the knee
doyI and he, arms from the elbow down
are quite too long for human child; Yet
in her great black ustrous eyes seem To
shine an intelligence far above that OF
the brute creation. Her ability to speak,
to learn even the ways of civilization,
seem 10 warrant the belief that she

| But what shall be inferred irom the
marks ana features which seem so en-
phatically to connect her with lower
order of beings?
In this connection, too, it is appropri-
ate TO clll attention 20 the traditions
still prevalent among the Borneon Dy-
AXIS concerning race of men having
tails. individuals of which living natives

declare that they have seen. Mr.. Book

Here is a curiosity" said botauist'
II was little ball of wood or fibre that
when held in the palm seemed endowed
with life. rolling over and over and leap
ing into the air.
"Pve had people come to me with
these" continued the speaker, "and say
they we're bewitched. One man believ-
ed he had discovered spontaneous gener-
alton: another wrote an exhaustive pa
per which he tried to read at all the
learned societies, showing that there was
a beginning to both animals and plant
life. In ,ac. lie litt gall, for that 1t Is,
has attracted good deal of attention.

er.
Not exactly plant, but the unnatur-
al growth of vegetable matter on trees
bushes and shrubs, caused by the secre-
ton in the bark of an insect egg that
matches and causes the growth. In this
case, you see the gall is little larger than
mustard seed.
"The gall is produced in this way: The
eggs of very dark colored insect, known
as cypips, are deposited in the leaf, and
from some secretion introduced into the
wound, the vegetable matter entombs
the insect ia ball of fibre separate from
the leaf, from which it finally drops
The larva's movements in restraint ere
ate the curious activity.
There are many kinds of gals, and
though they are injurious to trees, they
are invaluable to man, and are staple
commodities. The ordinary oak gals
of commerce are made by a cynips
When they are green, blue or black the
insect is in them, but when white it has
escaped. England is the center of the
trade, and receives gals from Germany
Turkey, Egypt, China and Bombay. The
gals are used for variety of purposes
One sort of blasting powder is made o.
powdered gals and chlorate, but the
most valuable product is ink This is
made from them al most entirely.

were arranged with mechanical springs

one of the seeds and the mystery is ex-
planned. The shell is followed out. con
tanning nothing but white larva that
has eaten out nearly al! the interior and
lined it with silk. Its motions occasion
the strange movements.
"Sone seeds move by an entirely diff
terent process that of exploding.
friend of mine got some seeds in Indi;
once and placed them on his cabin table
All at once came an explosion like tina
of revolver, and he received blow OF
the forehead that drew blood, while
looking glass opposite was shattered
The seeds had become heated, and all a
once the covering exploded, scatterin
the seeds in all directions. That is thei
manner of dispersal, and large numbe
of plants have similar methods ofscattel
