A New Life Boat Wanted.

Washington Star.
The latest device in the life-saying
line is steel boat for taking of passen-
gers and crews from large vessels in
trouble. The wooden boats now in
vogue, exposed to the vicissitudes
of weather for long periods
without use, are sometimes found
to be very leaky when lowered
in an emergency. They also are liable,
while swinging from the davits, to be
smashed by waves breaking over the
desks. The steel boats with which it is
proposed to replace them are to be made

OvER-FED PIGS.
Some Opinions and Experiments
by the American Agriculfurist.

Some Opinions and Experiments
by the American Agriculfurist.
Swine are proyerbially greedy. but it
is the duty of the owner of an animal to
control its natural habits when these
are opposed to its well doing; so that
the first thing to be done in feeding
young pigs is to measure their feed jul
diciously. They should never have all
they will eat. Only fattening swine
should be so fed, and they would soon
die from overlooking il they were not
killed. When young pig cho keS
at the trough, squeals and falls
over in a fit, it is Oyer-fed: when
it goes to the side of the stall, champs
its jaws, fOams at the mouth, and does
nothing else than this. it has been over
fed, and i'm both cases it is suffering
from congestion of the brain. due to in
digestion and disturbed circulation. It
is in state of ap0plexy and will prob
ably die, anyhow, but the others may be
saved, by at once reducing their feed to
about One-fOurth of what they have
been getting. The prevalent paralysis
of the hind limbs is caused by over
feeding. by which the kidneys have
been oyertaxed and the nervous system
of the lumbar region (the Ioins) is dis
turbed. Thus the power of motion Of
the hind legs is lost.
Recent experiments in feeding young
pigs go to show that pig of forty
pounds needs no more food per day than
two quarts of milk and four ounces of
solid food, such as bran or oats and corn
meal. On this allowance. gradually in-
creased, pigs made a steady and health-
full growth, while two others kept in
pen by themselves and suffered 10 gorge
themselves became stunted, stopped
growing. and in the third week one was
attacked by congestion of the brain and
had to be starved ont of it. losing fully
two months growth. When young pigs
are weaned they should be fed in shall
low trough. from which they can taxa
their food only slowly. A pint of milk
and two ounces of boiled corn meal
mixed with the milk will be enough for
daily ration the first week, and grad
uai increase may be made, substituting
raw meal, not exceeding the limit above
mentioned for six weeks or eight
weeks old pig of the best kind. and less
in ratio with less weight. Over feed
ing is the common bane Of the pig.

DEAD OR SLEEPING?

Bishops Widow and Mother Say
the Surgeons Murdered Him.
New YORK, May 15.-The wife and
mother of Washington Irving Bishop,
the mind reader, have arrived in this
city, and both claim that Bishop was
not dead, but merely in trance, when
the physicians made their post-mortem
examination, and that his death was
caused by the surgical instruments. 1t
seems that but four hours elapsed from
the time of his reported death until
Drs. Irwin, Ferguson and House were
making a pOSt-mOrtem examination of
the body. The widow of the mind reader
states that he had suffered several
times from cataleptic attacks, and has
lain in a trance, apparently dead. for
periods varying from six to ffty-twO
hours. On one occasion in Malta, she
says, physicians pronounced him dead,
and advised preparations for his inter-
ment. His friends held different be-
lief, and in little over two days he re-
covered. About two years ago Bishop,
while suffering with a dangerous ill
ness, was treated by DR.. Thomas S.
Robertson, of No. % East Twentieth
street, this city; while at the doctors
house, be had cataleptic attack and
remained in trance-like condition for
two days. The physicians who per-
formed the autopsy, however, say there
can be no possible doubt of Bishops
death before the autopsy was decided
upon.

GRIFFITHs GALL.
Needham Comments on 1.-THE
MOore-kemmick Fight.

Dannie Needham and Dick Moore
called at the GLOBE office, Minneap-
oils, last night to say that Jimmie Grit
fifth had his nerve with him to make
any talk about fighting with McAuliffe
or Meyer when he had never
whipped anybody to speak of. ''Where
did he get any reputation to ask for
81 900 purse on?' said the husky Dan
ME. His whole talk is wind chal-
lenge. He's posted no forfeit money,
and can't claim anything until he does.
I'll fight him at 1873 pounds for from
$500 up. or for purse of $500"
Dick Moore's eyes are beginning to
shine over the prospects of his coming
fight with Kemmick, which will be the
fight of his life. and which takes place
within a week. Under Needham's
fatherly care he has got in the
very pink of condition, and is
as hard. solid and elastic as
a billiard ball. He says he never felt
better in his life and if Kemmick wins
the fight it will be because he is the
better man. He is still training hard at
the lake. Needham never lets him out
of sight

What 1t Is Hoped to Accomplish
by the Cross-Breeding.
In regard to the breeding Of buffaloes.
Thomas Hardwiek. of Deadweod, among
other things stated to Times reporter
as follows:
Asked what he hoped to accomplish
by cross-breeding. Mr.. Hardwick re,
piled that he would secure species Of
cattle much harder than any upon tha
range, if. perehance, they shall not
equal the buffalo as rustlers. Half.
breeds take the instincts of the buffalo;
they face the storms, are good nosers on
rooters. and will find good grazing be-
meath deep snow. Their flesh is as good
as beef. If not better. than ordinary
range stock. while their robes ara
finer-haired and better every way than
those of the buffalo. In obtaining q
cross a buffalo bull and domestic cow is
necessary. No cross the other way is
possible. Concerning the age of buff.
falo, it is impossible to speak, as only
one attempt, so far as known, has ever
been made to determine the question.
and in that instance the buffalo reached
the age of twenty-Seven, and was then
accidentally shot. The buffalo un-
doubtedly attains a good old age, and
Mr.. Hardwick believes it safe to fix the
average at fifty years.

smooth-mannered young fellow named
John Archibald Comp, whose papers
indicate that he has been operating not

City, St. Louis and Cincinnati. Comp
is now missing. and it is said that
good many thousand dollars belonging
to various distillers and liquor dealers

poor whisky into the finest of high

would be placed in refrigerator and
in ten minutes could be taken out and
transformed into the finest bourbon.
If objection was made to the refriger-
ator Comp would accompany the
doubter to any place desired, and then.
retiring to a private room, accomplish
the same feat without the refrigerator.

A Milwaukee Engineer-Many per-
sons imagine that the life Of an en-
gineer is a most hazardous one. but
there is very little more danger at
tached to it than to other callings.
There is one thing that gives him an
advantage over the other trainmen and
the passengers in case of danger.
Being at the head of the train, he can
see the danger in time to jump from
his engine. The question whether it is
better to leave the engine or remain
with it in cases of accident is often de-
bated by railroad men. l believe that
the majority of engineers think it best
to jump. As in other vacations, how
ever. care will prevent many serious
mishaps. The blame of accidents
rests sometimes with the engi-
neer, again with the conductor
or brakeman, occasionally with
the dispatchers, and often with the
company through its othor employees.
Yet the blame of majority of the acct
dents can not be ascribed to the negli-
gence of any one. A defective rail, a
misunderstanding an unsafe bridge.
often hurls train into destruction, and
there is no one to answer for the blame.
However, with the many accidents
seemingly incident to railroading. the
percentage of death is less than in most
other industries.
