STARTLING GLUTTONY.
Hogs In Human Shape Discovered II
Various Parts of the World.

Hogs I'm HumRR Shape Discovered fni
Various Parts of the World.
The Hottentots, Bushmen and savage
South African races generally are enor-
nous gluttons. Ten of them, SAYS
Barrow, ate in my presence the whole
of an OK all but the hind legs in three
days, and the three Boesmans that &C
companied my wagon devoured a sheep
on one occasion in less than twenty
four hours In cold climates such feats
as these would only be trifies, and Parry
and Ross have recorded cases that. were
they not well attested, would pass be-
lief. Sir Edward Parry once tried the
capacity of an Esquimau scarcely fully
grown, and this interesting young
savage contrived, in twenty-four hours,
to devour four pounds four ounces Of
the raw, frozen flesh of a sea-horse,
the same quantity of it boiled, one
pound twelve ounces of bread and
bread-dust, 4 pint and a quarter OF rich
gravy soup, a tumbler OF strong grog,
three wine-glasses of raw spirit
and nine pints of water Sir John
Ross, indeed, believed that the daily
rations of an Esquimau were twenty
pounds of flesh and blubber, but. in ex-
tenuation Of 50 enormous a con-
sumption as this, the severity of the
climate must be taken into account.
Captain Cochrane, on the authority
of the Russian Admiral Saritchef, tells
how one of the Yakuts had consumed
the hind quarter of large OK in twenty
four hours, together with twenty pounds
of fat and proportionate quantity of
melted butter. AS the man had already
gorged himself in this disgusting fash
ion it hardly seemed possible that he
would be able TO consume any more, but
the worthy Russian Admiral, to test
him, gave the savage a thick porridge Of
rice boiled with three pounds of butter,
weighing together twenty-eight pounds
The glutton sat down to this abundant
banquet, although he had just partaken
of breakfast, and, without stirring from
the spot or showing any sign of incon-
venience, got through the whole. Cap
tain Cochrane adds that a good large
calf, weighing two hundred pounds, will
Just make meal for four or five Yakuts,
and that he has seen three of them con
sumo whole reindeer at one meal. Tho
feats of English worlling-men, on their
annual club feast day, would surpass be-
lief; leg of mutton has not been found
too much for ono man. DIR. Darwin, the
father OF Charles Darwin, had the repu-
tation of being glutton, and is reported
TO have called goose-a favorite Salop
dish--an inconvenient one, as being too
mucn for one and not enough for two

BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.
They Have a Largely Attended
Meeting.

| The State Board of Agriculture is ip
session in Trenton. The first session
was held Wednesday, Jan. Goth, with
Morris Bacon, Director of the Cumber
land county Freeholders, presiding
The reports of the Executive Commit-
tee shows that 1889 was pecuniarily a
bad year for farmers. The unusua,
rainfall has been largely responsible,
but a more potent cause is the fact
that the cost of production in many
branches of farming nowadays equals,
II it does not exceed, the market value
| Of the product. Governor Albeit
made speech in which he promised
to do whatever he could in his official
| capacity to help the farmers. Later
| on committee of seven was appointed
to confer with the Governor regarding
the new tax laws.
Morris Bacon made short address
on the death of Prof. George H. Cook,
and later, he as Chairman of a COM
mittee, read resolutions of sorrow.
j. Walter Pancoast, of Salem, of
fered string of resolutions, as fol-
lows: Condemning the increase of the
Governors salary and proposed in
crease of the Vice-Chancellor's salary,
and demanding a return to the old
regime; requesting Congress to desig-
nate certain ports where American
citizens may exchange the products of
the United States for the products of
other countries, unhampered by Gus
toms duties; favoring the publication
OF the laws in pamphlet form; advocat-
ing legislation that will allow farmers
to run engines, freight and passenger
trains over railroads at their own ex-
pense, upon paying properly defined
toll to the railroad companies. All
these resolutions were referred to the
usual committees.
The annual meeting of the State
Board of Agriculture was continued
Thursday. In an article on sContag-
ious Diseases of Animals" DR.. G. B.
Miller, of Camden, one of the State
Veterinarians, dwelt with special force
on the widespread prevalence of tuber-
culosis in New Jersey.
An interesting discussion took nlace
on the question of how to make farms
pay better. Tariff revision and more
equitable taxes were among the rene
dies suggested. 1t was said, as an in
stance of farm depreciation in New
Jersey, that Mercer county farms
worth 5000 an acre some years ago
would net bring $50 an acre now.

La grippe is Going.

With the departure of January, 1890,
la grippe appears to have also taken its
departure, leaving behind it mort
uary record, unprecedented in the
history of the larger cities. Many
people who at the beginning of the
year had almost positive assurance of
long life, died from the effects. of the
influenza, not few of them being
distinguished in their respective
spheres. But the plague that for a
time held undisputed sway, has de-
parted, leaving many sad memories
behind it. 1t has passed into history,
and years hence when it appears, as
in all probability it will, the incidents
connected with it's late presence here
will be recalled, and those who encoun-
ter it then, will be told how many were
attacked, how many died, what style
of treatment was most successful,
etc.

NEW JERSEY FARMERS.
The Session of the Board En- det

The Session of the Board I'm ded
The third and closing days session
of the State Board of Agriculture, was
held in Trenton, Friday, Morris
Bacon, of Cumberland, presiding,
Resolutions were offered against the
proposed increase of duty on tin plate
on account of the influence such duty
would have on canned goods.
The latter resolution brought forth
a heated debate, participated in by the
Hon. Thomas H. Dudley, of Cam
den; A. S. Applee, of Mercer; Judge
Forsythe, of Burlington, and other
prominent agriculturists. The resol-
ution was lost by vote of "a to 81.
Tie committee on Exhibits report
gratifying results through experiments
made by farmers in producing new
varieties of potatoes. 1t also makes
favorable mention of new milk-cool-
ing machine and a new pump for spray
Ing trees and vines infected with di-
sease.
The Committee on Nominating Off
GERS, reported as follows:
For President, Hon. Edward Bur-
rough, of Camden; Vice President,
Morris Bacon, of Greenwich; Secretary
Franklin Dye. of Mercer; Treasurer,
D. D. Denise; Executive Committee,
E. B. Voorhees,, of New Brunswick;
William R. Lippincott, of Burlington,
and H. F. Bodine, of Hunterdon. The
report was unanimously adopted.
A communication was received from
fl. B. Lippincott, of Burlington, com
plimenting the work of the State
Board, but deprecating the introduc-
tion of political discussions at its meet
ings, deprecating the increase of sa lar
les of the Governor and other State
officers, and protesting against the
bill to increase salaries of lay judges.
The Committee on Resolutions in re-
porting, recommend the adoption of a
resolution that the Legislative Com
mittee confer with other similar COM
mittees in urging legislation for the
benefit of agriculture; increasing the
authority of State veterinary surgeons
in handling contagious diseases of
cattle; a resolution providing for the
appointment of a commissioner of
Weeds" in each county, with necessary
appropriations, to look after the des-
truction of noxious weeds. was re-
ported adversely and tabled.

Eclectic Magazine.

The February Eclectic opens its ex-
cellent list of contents with sensible
paper by Grant Allen on Practical
Religion which, while somewhat het-
erodox, is highly suggestive. Pasteur
concludes his dissertation on Rabies, =
and Mrs. Jeune contributes all article
on the women question, in answer to
that by Lady Gaskell in the preceding
number. Robert Browning is ably
discussed in short papers from the Sat
urddy ReUietC and Spectator. Sir Will
liam Dawson explains the question of
the Deluge, controverting the Agnos-
tic views with great ability. The be-
ginnings of reform in Persia, are de-
scribed by E. F. g. law, a highly com.
petent authority. Edward Clodd has
an able paper on 1.-The Origin OF
DEATH" which will be read with much
interest. The retrospect of Stanley's
expedition is by a well known geo.
graphical authority, J. Scott Kettle
Prof. Huxley does his great reputa
ton justice in the paper, ''The Nat
ural Inequality of Man." Swinburne
has series of sonnets on Browning
the recently dead poet, and an excel
lent article, by DR.. Charles Mackay
who died a short time since, is en-
titled ''The Ascertainment of English.
Several able minor articles, stories
and poems complete a very readable
and entertaining number. Published

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
BENJAMIN REED FALLS DOWN
STAIRS KILLING HIMSELF.
Whfle Suffering with the Grippe.
He Leaves His Bed and Fails
and Kills Himself


About one o'clock on Sunday morn.
ing, Benjamin Reed fell down stairs
and killed himself at his home on Hor
ton street. Mr.. Reed who was an ole
man 70 years and three months of age
to-day, has been suffering with the
grippe for two or three weeks. OF
Saturday night at about 12 o'clock. he
was taken with a coughing fit an6
conghed for one hour without cessa
ton, and just before one O'Clock, be
got out of bed and pulled on his panta
looms. His wife said to him, "Whal
are you going to do, Benny" he an
swered, I'm going down stairs where
l can get some rest"
Mrs. Reed persuaded him to lie down
while she went down stairs and made
the lire. She went down to the sitting
room and lighted the fire and in a few
minutes she heard terrible crash on
the stairs; she knew her husband had
fallen down stairs. fastening to the
door she found him lying at the foot oil
the stairs, his head crushed against
the Dashboard. He was dead. She
lifted up his head and in her agony
called out to him "Oh, Benny, why
didn't you lay still on the bed, you
said you would"
She screamed for her son Mayhew,
who was still sound asleep, and not be-
ing able to wake him, she succeeded in
rousing George Nichols and wife, who
lives in the other half of the house.
DIR. ID. H. Oliver was summoned, but
found life extinct when he arrived.
The family think, as he was subject
to heart trouble, that Mr.. Reed must
have died from heart disease as he was
about to descend the stairs.
He was member of the Laurel Hill
M. T. Church, and a very pious man,
active in church and in the church
work. He could always be heard
singing some favorite hymn when at
home or about his work. The most
favorite was
Must Jesus bear the cross alone
And all the world go free?
No, there's a cross for everyone,
And there's cross for me-
He had seven children living-four
sons and three daughters. The young.
est son, Mayhem, a glassblower, lived
at home and took care of the old
couple.

Nellie Bly'S Time.

Sunday, the New York World
published the correct time of Nellie
Bly's trip around the world, as 70 days,
6 hours, II minutes and IA seconds.
None of the Bridgeton guessers will
take the free trip to Europe. Those
who guessed within four and five min
utes, thought they were very nearly
winners. Their guesses were scarcely
looked at. There were hundreds with.
in a few seconds, and ia who came
within a quarter of minute. The
successful guesser was f. W. Stevens
of New York City, whose guess was
within two-fifths of second. There
were 927, 433 coupons left at the World;

HendersOn's Bush Lima Bear

Henderson's Bush Lima Bean, sent
out last year, has proved grand sue
cess. 1t is a very bushy grower and
yields an immense crop, fully two
weeks earlier than the pole Limas.
The beans are similar to the Sieva in
size, and fully equal in quality, to the
pole varieties. The earliness will make
this variety popular for market, as it
comes when Limas are in the best de-
mand, and prices high. Every one
who has a garden should secure at
least a paper.
They should be planted one in a
place and from one foot to eighteen
inches apart.
Messrs. VIM, F. Bassett 81 Son, of

were killed by order of the doctor.
The other two were quarantined.
Louis Woodruff, Sr., who was caring

the vicinity.
