Martin Irons Romance.
st. Louis Giobe-Democrat.

The chairman of No. 101 experienced a
sensation yesterday quite different from
those with which the strike familiarized
him, and yet due to the publicity which
the strike has given him. He received a
letter from a lady residing at Twenty
seventh street aud Eighth avenue South
Brooklyn, n. Y, saying that she had seen
his name very frequently of late in con-
nection with the great strike, and inquir-
ing whether he was her brother, Martin
Irons, whom she had not seen for thirty
years. If so-the latter went on to say
he was entitled to his share of some mon
ey left her by their mother, who had died
several years ago. At the time of the
death of the mother Mr.. Irons where
abouts were unknown, and his sister, ap-
pearing to the sole heiress, got the money
and invested it in the house in which she
now resides. Mr.. Irons was, of course,
greatly astonished to receive the letter.
He said it's surmise as to his identity was
correct, and he is now-or shortly will be
richer by $4,000 or $4,000 than when the
strike began.

of over two hundred men. most of them
"roughs," who had volunteered for naval
service on the Pacific coast. There were
over thousand other passengers, includ-
ing many women and children. On the
first day out the recruits showed dissatis-
faction with their quarters and their food.
They were headed by a ringleader by the
name of Kelly, big, burly fellow, strong
and determined. 1t soon became evident
that it was the intent of the mutineers to
seize and rifle the steamer and the passen-
gers. On the third day out, they seized
Capt. Tinkleprugh as he was passing on a
round of inspection, and threatned to pro-
coed to extremIties. Lieut.. Ammen was
then in distant part of the ship. He
Immediately hurried to the scene of the
disturbance, and without moments hest
tatlon drew his revolver and shot Kelly
dead on the spot. Another conspirator
shared the same fate. The proceeding
was summary one, but it crushed the
lnclplent mutiny instantly. few others
rlngleaders were cast into irons, Lieut..
Ammen himself going into the crowd and
Selling the men. There was little resis-
lance, and when the dead bodies of the
two leaders had been sewed in canvas and
cast overheard, the mutiny had come to
an end. Justice Field, who himself was
a witness to the whole scene, has never
forgotten the courage and determination
shown on that occasion by the young
lieutenant, and to this day believes that
it was the firm conduct of Admiral Am
men which saved the lives and the prop
erty of the passengers of board the Ocean
Queen.

Abortion in Cows.
u. S. Dairymau.

| have written quite number of arti-
cIes upon this most trying misfortune to
breeders and dairymen. There are many
theories and opinions as to the cause and
nature of abortion. Some of the reasons
given in some of our stock papers are
little better than ridiculous; many; of
them are fraught with danger, and should
be received with great caution (if receiv-
ed at all. Abortion, despite our individ-
ual and collective experience, is still una
bated, If not fatally on The increase. Is
any one to blame for this? | feel quite
sure many persons are much to blame for
the condition of many abOrting COWS.
don't wish to be too severe upon the own
ers of COWS, but positive experience war
rants me IN declaring that abortion is
largely due to the criminal neglect of
of these owners. This | am satisfied of
from careful, persistent observation.
have had professional supervision of
many of the most extensive and valuable
herds of Jerseys in the United States,
and have had sad experience in many
cases of abortion. Many cases do re-
call to mind as the result of gross care
lessness, cruelty and neglect
The first great cause of abortion in
COWS, is hereditary pre-disposition; next
IN order anything that seriously interferes
with the comfort of the COW, especially if
long continued; any annoyance may be
the direct cause of abortion; stanchions
am quite sure, have been the positive
cause of abortion in many instances, with
IN my own knowledge. These stanchions
when too short, are an especial discom-
fort to the COWS imprisoned in them. and
should be looked to. The barking of a
cur or other dogs, often causes abortion;
hard handling IN milking is a proven
cause of abortion, especially when accom-
panied by the severe jerking which SO
many so-called good mixers indulge in;
foul, offensive matters lying around, as is
quite often common, Is dangerous and is
quite often the only cause in many cases
of abortion; allowing bull to run in the
same pasture, is a most frightful source
of abortion; no bull should be allowed
within even the sound of his voice, to the
cows he may head. The placenta has
been the cause of many abortions, by be-
ing placed where the COWS, or anything
else, can smell it. 1t should always be
buried out of sight and smell. An abor-
ting COW should be quarantined from all
the rest. Sympathetic abortions are
common; COW in heat should not be
auoWed In company of COWS In calf.
Everything should be done consistent
with the common laws of physiology, in
the general management of a herd of
ooVlnes, II we would succeed.

HOW CANOES ARE CUT.
Engraving Upon Mineals. Does Not Pay.
New York Mail and EXPRESS

The art of cameo-cutting was intro
duced into the United States in 1850. 1t
has made no progress. Finished canoes
sell for less now than they did then. The
only two manufacturers of canoes in the
United States are in this city, and they
find very little work to do. The greater
part of the trade is in initiating antique
gems or in matching canoes brought
from Europe. There is probably no
business requiring so great artistic skill
and such delicate manipulation in which
the pay of the workman is so poor. One
of the manufacturers of this city said:
amy man would be fool to learn the
trade with the hope of making money by
it. have to import all my workmen
from Europe. I tried to teach two APP
prentices, but they found that the skill
they acquired would prove more valuable
In the making of artificial teeth, and in
time they became dentists, and now
one of them has large practice.
Great numbers of canoes come from
Italy, but the finest come from Paris.
quartz blocks from which canoes are cut
are imported into this country in shapes
ready for cutting. The kinds of quartz
most commonly used are onyx, sardonyx,
chalcedony, jasper, turquoise, and certain
species of shells. They can also be cut
ON any stone or jewel except diamond.
cameo differs from an intaglio in that
1T ls executed In relief, while the later is
sunk engraving. Canoes are best cut in
minerals which present various bands of
two or more distinct colors. The raised
engraving is generally of one color,
while the BACKGROUND is of a strongly
contrasting color. The former is gener-
ally white and the latter dark. The cutter
draws with lead-pencil on the white
surface of the block the design which he
intends to produce in cameo. He then
follows the outlines with a diamond, and
cuts away the white parts outside. If the
stone is small, he cements it on the end
of stick; if large, he holds it in his hand
and proceeds to work upon it with fine
drills. He sits at table like a sewing
machine table, and by treadle works
small lathe situated at his right. At his
left Is frame filed with drills made of
steel wire and of all varieties of shapes.
The ends OF the drills are covered with
diamond-dust ground in olive oil. The
dust Is obtained by crushing uncut dia-
monds by blows of hammea in a small
steel mortar. The cutter has placed be-
fore him picture or model of the sub
iect to be made. Everything then
depends upon the correctness of his eye
and his artistic insuincts. The work is
inexpressibly slow, but when completed it
is marvelously perfect. Although very
small the figures are as complete in every
detail as though they were ten feet high.
skilled workman will often make an
elegant cutting, or even portrait, with
out any model whatever. This making
of cameo portraits is one of the most
steady sources of revenue in the business.
They are made of various sizes and the
likeness is very striking. The price
varies from $50 to $500 each. The aver

Average Yields of Wheat Per Acre.
The Milestone.

DIR. j. III. Gilbert contributes letter to
Bells Messenger in which he gives table
of the average wheat yield per acre of
various countries. Some..of them are based
upon only few years observation, and,
of course, may not be so reliable as others
where the result of several years were
available. At the same time had the
result of the one year in which the average
was taken been very above or below the
general average, it would, of course, have
been ascertained and unquestionabley re-
jected as the basis of any calculation;
hence we may reasonably take DR.. Gill
bert's figures as approximately correct
in all cases, as it undoubtedly is where,
as in the case of the United Kingdom,
the United States, France, Belgium,
Holland and Australasia, the period of OBJ
seryatiOn extends ten years and over.
For the United Kingdom the average yield
per acre is % bushels; for the United
States, 11.9; for France, 16;
Belgium, 22.7; Holland, 234;
Australasia, 1913; Norway, with three
years observation, shows an average of
% bushels; Denmark, with two years 3d.
z, ranking next to the United Kingdom.
Austria shows an average of Is bushels,
from nine years observation, and Hungary
of 49, from one; Wurtemburg, from six
years observations, shows 25.2 average.
The following are based on single years
average: Spain, 23.3; Sweden, 1913;
Prussia, III; India, IA; Egypt, 1914;
Canada, 1873; Russia, SIS; As compared
with observations by DR.. o. j. Brooch, and
published in a French statistical journal
DIR. Gilbert's figures do not differ much
except as regards Russia, whose average
yield DR.. Brach gives as nine bushels.

Currants in the Garden.

Cuttings from currants will do much
better in the fall than in the spring. They
should be planted as soon as the leaves
fall off. They will make durable roots
four to six inches long the same fall,
while the buds remain dormant. They
will make double the growth the next sea
son if set in the fall that they will if not
set in till spring. They should be set in
ground that will not heave them out by
the effects of frost, and should be covered
just before winter sets in with coarse lit
ter. Remove the covering early in the
spring, and examine the cuttings to see if
any of them have heaved, and if so, press
them down again. Should they heave up
an inch or more, if we'll pressed down
they will start and make better growth
than cuttings in the spring. In either
case, however, the cuttings should always
be made in the fall.

Cabbage Plants.

Cabbage seed may be sown this month,
to be planted in cold frames as soon as
they are large enough. Place them in the
cold frame, in rows, close together but
not too close, and protect them by COW
ering during cold nights They will stand
the weather well and will make early
plants for setting out in spring for an
early crop. No glass is required for the
cold frames. All that is required is to
cover them with little straw aud place a
few boards over the top of the frame.
The best variety for the purpose are
the Jersey Wakefield and the large Early
YOrks.
