Poor Milking.

The experiment tried recently by
Professor Tracey, of New York, is
worthy of the attention of famers
everywhere. He placed five cows in
the hands of poor mixer, where he
allowed them to remain for two weeks.
At the end of the two weeks they
were given in charge of a good mixer
who made gain in the same time of
224 pounds of milk. This goes far to-
ward showing that the amount of milk
given by a COW depends in a great
measure on the one who milks it, and
is a matter that our farmers cannot af-
ford to ignore. There are cows on al
most every farm that would give more
milk and make better returns if they
were properly attended to. On Singer
ly's celebrated stock farm near Norris
town, Pa, the utmost care is exercised
in regard to the milking, and those
who attend to that duty are forbidden
to even speak while it is being per-
fOmed.

A Brave MastiH.

In Strawberry Valley, CAL, recently
two young ladies went into the woods
to search for ferns, accompanied by an
English mastiff. While seated on log
in an isolated part of the forest quite a
distance from their home they were ap-
preached by a cinnamon bear. At
sight of their visitor the girls started to
run towards home, screaming at the
top of their voices and followed by
Bruin. The mastif was not afraid and
caught hold of the bear by the neck.
A desperate struggle took place and
only ended when two men arrived on
the scene and shot the bear. The dog
was so badly mangled that it was fear.

The term Limited" as used
in a Firm.

1t is not an uncommon thing now
adays to see the word limited" in pa
renthesis, after the titles of corpora
tiOns, and it is safe to say that people
generally do not understand the signif-
cence of this term, though of course,
business men do. An explanation of it
as stated by a recent authority may
therefore, be of general interest. The
old principal of corporations created by
legislative act was that the entire prop
erty of every stOckhOlder was liable for
the whole of the company, as the
whole property of every member of a
general partnership is still liable for
the debts of the firm. This system
made every shareholder responsible for
bad management, of which he might
not be guilty, and deferred wealthy
men from becoming interested in the
shares of corporations. To remove
this objection the principle of limited
responsibility was introduced, and in
order to notify the public that only the
separate property Of the corporation
was liable for the debts of the corpora
ton, the English law requires that the
word "limited" shall be used in every
case by the company in connection
with its title. Most American corpora
tions are constituted on the principle of
limited liability, and but few, If any of
the States enjoin the companies formed
under their laws to append the word
''limited" to their corporate titles. The
matter is so generally understood in
this country by business. men, however,
that it is not deemed necessary, though
many companies do it of their own ac-
cord.
The most noteworthy exception to
the general rule is the case of the ma
tiOnal bank, but even in this instance
liability is limited to an amount equal
to the par value Of the shares held.
That is, If the national bank fails, each
stakeholder may not only Jose what he
has invested, but $l00 more for each
share of the stock he holds, If so much
is necessary to pay the debts of the
bank. Until within few years all the
Scottish banks we're organized with
unlimited liability, and when, some
eight or ten years ago, Glasgow bank
failed disastFously, there were cases OF
men who only owned . share or two,
valued before the failure at not much
more than 500, who were assessed
/ thousands Of pounds sterling to meet
the debts Of the bank, Since that time
the Scottish banks have been allowed
to reorganize on a limited liability
basis.-Sunday Star.

Seeing the Moons Shadow on
the Earth.

From Professor Todd's article in the |
August Century entitled "How Mans |
Messenger Outran the MOOn," we
| quote the following: 1.-The moons |
actual motion in her circumterrestial |
path is in the neighbOThOod of two
| thousand miles in each hour of time.
This velocity is somewhat greater than
/ that of prOjectiles from the best rihed

too great to be seen. And it can be

Averaging period of some decades,
there are in three years two OppOrtu-
mites when this spectacle may be seen:
they only at such times as the moon
| passes between the earth and the sun
and causes a total solar eclipse. But
even then it is not strictly correct to
say that the moon can be seen travel
ing through space.
"At the time of such an eclipse, how
ever, the moons dark shadow sweeps
over the earth with nearly the s0me
velocity as the moon herself travels
and it is this swiftly flying shadow
which the alert observer may see.

MILLIONS IN TT.
The VIII of Christopher Meyers is to be Con-
tested in New Jersey.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. T
NEW York, July 6.-The battle for
Christopher Meyers millions began
in the Middlesex orphans court,
at New Brunswick, New Jersey,
on Saturday. The present contest
considers the right of the Middlesex surro-
gate to permit the will of the rubber king.
which was made in New York, to be ad-
mitted to probate in New Jersey. This
will cuts off Mrs. Meyers, the widow, and
Mrs Molly Regensberg, the millionaire's
grandchild, of San Francisco and the two
have joined issue to break the instrument.
Some startling evidence was brought out.
In order to annul the probate of the will, it
will be necessary to subStantiate the claim
that the instrument was improperly in the
keeping of the Middlesex court.
John F. Chunassy, of Brooklyn, once
bookkeeper for the millionaire, was the
first witness. He was certain that the
will was signed in the sitting room of
Meyers's New York residence. Chunassey
admitted that great care had been taken to
prevent Mrs. Meyers from being present.
''The door was locked and never knew it
to be locked before Mrs. Meyers came to
the door and knocked, but was refused ad-
mittsuce until the will was signed. After
the will had been signed and witnes 5ed,
Mrs. Meyers was admitted. Before she
entered, Lawyer Williams thrust the will
under his coat and left the room"
Ernst Gerlach, a nurse who was present
at the signing of the Will, created a sen
sation. He corroborated Chunassy's testi-
mony relative to the mal1ing>ef the will and
the cutting of of Mrs. Meyers in view of
her marriage settlement of s250,000. When
Mrs. Meyers entered she was very angry
and did not hesitate about showing
it. "How was Mr.. Meyers treated
while sick!" ''Drs. Bernache, Sands
and Pinckney were the attending ply
sicians. He took a great deal of
morphine and belladoLna, but after
the will was made, DR.. Bernacke
ordered that these stimulauts should not be
given him. The patient would cry for
morphine, and Mrs. Meyers gave it 20 him
in large doses. Morphine was admins
tered for two weeks before the viii was
made. Afterwards it was only given by
Mrs. Meyers
"What DIR. Bernacke say to this3"
'Mrs. Meyers discharged him after she
gave Meyers the large dose" The wit
ness said that the millionaire took brandy,
Rhine wine, whisky, red and white wines,
and gin as stimulants durineihis illness.
Jonn G. Meyers, eldest son of the mil
lionaire, who died at Atlantic City few
months ago, had called once after the will
was signed. He asked the witness if
everything was all right Not knowing
what Meyers meant, the witness did not
answer.
The examination was adjourned till
Tuesday next.

= The two distinctive characteristics of
the letters were the extreme bitterness of
personal and party feeling which they
betrayed, and the marked excellence and
vigor of their literary form. Shortly after
the recent death of Allen Thorndyke Rice,
an attemptwas made to establish the fact
that he was not only responsible for their
publication, but had written the Arthur
Richmond letters. After Rice's death, the
friends thought the real authors Should
come forward, but as they have not done
so, the veil mystery has been lifted
We have it on Improbable authority that

Meanness of the Managers.

4 New ORLEANS, July Sowing to the
brutal discourtesy to everybody, including
newspaper men and the Western Union
Telegraph company, the managers of the
fight will get a sound roasting by the news
papers here. and the Associated Press has
been compelled to buy tickets for half of
their working force. The Western Union
Telegraph manager has given notice that
owing to the senseless action of the mana
gers of the fight he has decided not to give
any special facilities for telegraphing from
the scene of the fight, with the result that
the report Of the fight will probably have
to be filed in this city instead of at the ring
side.
Noon.-The fight took place near Rich
burg. There are no wires to the place, and
the result cannot be learned until the re-
turn of the train. which is looked for at ,
O'Clock. The regular train on the North
eastern road has just arrived Il 80 I'M
