Real HOlsteiu Cattle.

The ancient duchy of Holstein, which
was wrested from Denmark by Germany
a few years ago, possesses extensive low
lands reclaimed from the sea. These
were not ancient lake beds, like much of
the present area of Holland, but salt
water marshes; hence are known to-day
as the Holstein Marshes. The popula-
tiOn is almost exclusively agricultural,
and possess a valuable breed of neat cat
tie, which is bred both for meat and for
milk. AS mitch cows, they have achiey-
ed no special fame, but the beef is excel
lent. The strains of mileh and beef
cattle are kept quite distinct, as among
Short horns. They are fairly we'll
formed, judging them by our notions,
and are the basis of a very profitable
trade. In color they are black and white,
or dark brown, or red and white, and
show clearly that they have been modi-
fed by the Short>horn cross, otherwise
are much like the Friesian and North

name of "Holsteins" in this country. A
notable difference between the HOlstein
beef and that of Normandy, which also
finds its way to the great markets of the
metropolis, is, that its fat is white, while
that of the French beef is often golden
yellow, like that of the Guernseys, and
many of the Jersey cattle. The London
market demands fat beef, and requires
it to white as Alabaster," to meet the
highest favor.-American Agriculturist

THE church journals of Paris declare
that fully $4,000 Christians were massa

Yet the Chinese Consul of San Francis

BLOOD UNDER A MICROSCOPE.

"The only instance on record when the
blood of two persons was compared in
criminal trial." said DR.. Piper to a Call re-
porter yesterday, twas in murder case in
Chicago. The comparison settled the inno-
cence of the woman on trial for her life.
The story of the bloody transaction is as
follows: A comely woman, with $4,000,
married man in Chicago, and placed her
snug little fortune in his business. In the
course of time he began to abuse her, and
finally she decided to apply for divorce.
The double calamity of losing women to
beat and withdrawal of her $20, 900 from
his business made the brute furious and the
next morning he was found dead in one
corner of his bed chamber, bullet having
| gone through his heart. His wife was found
| wounded in another part Of the room. She
SAID that her husband had come home the
| night before in rage and began to abuse:
Eer while she was in bed; that he hit her
on the head with the butt OF his revolver
while her head was on the pillow, and spa:-
| tered blood over the linen that she jumped
up and he shot her, inflcting q slight flesh
wound in her side. She then rushed 1T him
and snatchiug the revolver from him, shc
him through the heart. He reeled to the cor
ner where he was found and died. The pro-
secution did not believe her story and set
up the theory that she shot him when he
was asleep and dragged him to the corner,
and then inflicted the wound on herself
The carpet where the dead man lay was
saturated with blood. According to the
theory of the prosecution, the blood on the
pillow was his also. [ put the section of
the pillow with blood upon 1t under the
microscope and drew on a card board the
shape Of the corpuscles, enlarged about two
thousand diameters. | then put the blood
on the carpet under the microscope in the
same way. The comparison was wonderful.
The corpuscles on the pillow were bright,
round and clean. They were beautiful
The corpuscles on the carpet were large
and distigured, the result OF disease. The
comparison settled that question at once
The blood corpuscles were as different as
day aud night, and sustained the woman's
account Of the shooting. She was acquitted
on that and other evidence.
"As between human blood and dogs
blood, ihe microscopes enables the expert
to determine precisely whether specimen
is from human being or dog. But it is
impossible to determine between human
blood and 4 hogs blood. This fact con
victed one man that know of. He claimed
that the blood on his clothes was dogs
blood. was able to show that it was not
dogs blood; but if he had said that it was
hogs blood could not have contradicted
the statement San Francisco Call.

PROFITS OF AUTHORSHIP.

The 100000 received by Lord Beaconslield
for his last novel is believed torepresent the
largest amount given in England for any
work of fiction. Scott received $4,000 for
Woodstock and George Eliot the same
amount for "hIiddlemarch." Bulwer-Lyt
toms earlier novels, even when he was the
rage, did not bring him in more than from
$4,000 to $1,000; but he subsequently re-
ceived handsome amounts for copyright of
q collective edition. Lord Beaconsheld's
earlier novels. Notwithstanding the success
of the first, "Vivian Grey" had a very limi-
ted sale, and could be bought for next 10
nothing within few months adjudication.
They never became in general request as
compouents of 81 library, and in England
were only read with interest by persons fa-
miliar with political and social life. Con
ingsby" excited by far the most interest, and
the key, which soon afterwards appeared,
was eagerly scrutinized. Probably "Endym-
duced moro than double of all the previous
some of them. The "Curiosities Of Lite.
rature" of the elder Dsraeli must
have produced large sum of money.
1t forms part of every good collec.
tion of English books, and has passed
through many editions. Dickens left
100000, and considerable slice of this
came from books; but it was his ''readings"
which made him affluent, and so, too, with
Thackeray. For receipts from actual writ
ing no one has yet approached Scott, whose
income for several years ranged from $50 900
to $4,000, mainly drawn from this source.
Richardson was the first Engishman who
made really good thing out of writing, and
mainly because he was publisher of his own
novels. In the past thirty years French
novelists have received very large sums,
but Balzacs rewards for his genius and tre-
mendous toll were miserably small. Pro-
badly Miss Braddon's receipts from writing
rank among the first halfdozen highest
among writer's of fiction. She has the ad.
vantage of having publisher fora a husband;
REYNOLDS, who wrote THE Mysteries OF
London" and other works of low sensa-
tional type, was from pecuniary point OF
view, one of the most successful British
authors. Many of those books which pay
so we'll are the last which would occur to
persons as being lucrative. Thus, Thorn
toms Family Prayers has been little
mine of money to an English family.
