Rio JANEIRo, April 1.-THE provi.
sional government having decided that
all great popular measures so long de.
manded by the people, such as the aboll-
ton of slavery, forced from the imperial
government in 1888, the separation OF
the church from the state, freedom of the
press, liberty to worship, naturalization
OF foreigners, ETC., now trying to avoid
the danger and inconvenience that at
tended the adoption of the American con-
stitntion. The men now at the head of
affairs desire to begin where the United
States finished, and so take advantage Of
American experience, and for this reason
they have nominated a number Of we'll
known specialists to frame constitution
which is to be presented to a constitutional
assembly. The work OF registering voters,
all men of 81 years of age that know how
to read and write, is being pushed rapidly.
The trainers hope to present a consitu-
ton as much like the American constitu-
ton as is consistent with the character OF
Brazilian people, and then it will he sub
mltted to direct vote of the people. 1t
is already partially completed. 1t de-
clares the fatherland one and indivisible
republic, composed of states, federal dis
tricts, provinces and territories. 1t is
government. Its representatives are fed
eral and Republicans. Each statesman
to be governed by its own laws and the
federal shall interfere only for the pur-
pose of guaranteeing a Republican form
of government with the sanction of the
federal courts, and in case of rebellion
the province OF one to be regularly organ
lied in two political bodies that require
pecuniary assistance from the federal gov
ernment for the territories or unorganized
Or uninhabited parts of the republic. The
federal districts will consist of any mu-
nicipality that may be chosen for a fed
aral capital.

Tho South Americans,

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Pan-Amer-
lean conference is drawing to close.
The committee on general welfare has
agreed upon plan of arbitration for a
settlement of difficulties between Amer.
ican nations.
The plan is that whenever any differ
ence arises between two or more Amer
ican republics, it will be referred to the
government of some other republic for a
settlement, without an appeal to arms.
In case the parties at issue can not
agree upon single arbitrator, each is al.
lowed to name one, and those named are
to select an umpire.
This, in the minds Of the president and
Mr.. Blaine, is the most important subject
to be considered by the conference, as it
is likely to put a stop to the wars that
have prevailed so frequently between the
South American nations, retarding the
growth and prosperity of all.

now hardly more than mere existence.
The opiates quiet him and make him

FRIGHTFULlY GOREp

An Infuristed Bull Makes a Fierce At
tack on a Young Farmer, Tossing Him
Again and Again and kneadins and
Paving I'm Devilish Glee.
PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Aug. 2-William
Boyd. farmer at Tinnicun, Delaware
county, who weighed 2O7 pounds, was
so frightfully gored by an infuriated
bull yesterday that the chances of his
recovery are one in hundred. Heavy
as he is, he was, about noon, attacked
by the irfuriated beast on which he had
been compelled to use club, and tossed
twenty feet high. As the man fell, the
bull caught him upon his horns and
tossed him again and again. The beasts
fury increased with each toss and he
ripped the mans body with his horns
and kneaded and paved him in devilish
glee. During this awful encounter the
father of the man was fastening across
the field to the assistance of heifer, as
he thought, which the bull was mang-
ling. When
The Sight of His Wounded Son
caught his eyes he called for help, and,
with the assistance of hired man, beat
the brute away. A gun was finally
brought, and the bull was disabled by
binding both its eyes with shot. Young
Boyd lay unconscious in most horrible
condition. He was gored under the
right arm below the nipple, the horns
entering the lion, exposing the intes-
tines. One horn entered the left hip,
penetrating the socket, and three ribs
and the left ankle We're fractured. A
horn ripped open his stomach to the
inner covering, exposing the upper part
of the lungs Besides this, the farmer
was injured internally.

'ound, as the dry matter of the beet

pound, as the dry matter of the beet
crop.
1t is possible to raise much more than
sixteen tons of beets TO the acre. One
crop of two acres is reported at 81 tons
per acre, and smaller areas have given
still larger yields, but such crops require
very rich land and thorough culture
Whether it is possible to produce a
pound of dry matter in beets as econom-
ically as it can be done in corn is not yet
definitely settled, but the probabilities
are again st it.
COMMERCIAL AND GREEN MANUREs FOR
WHEAT.
In an experiment made by the North
Carolina experiment station, series OF
plots was laid out in such manner that
one end of each plot should be on land
on which COW peas had been previously
plowed under, and the other end on land
without peas. The whole was sown tC
wheat, and kainitt, acid phosphate and
cotton seed meal were applied to the
several plots, singly and in combination
two plots being left without any fertil.
izer
The result was that on the land which
had had no fertilizer the highest increase
of any of the fertilized over the unfertil.
lied plots was four bushels per acre (foI
800 pounds cotton seed meaD, while Oh
the green manured land the increase
from the pea vines was from six bushels
at the least to fifteen bushels per acre
averaging ten bushels.

RULES

RULES
FOR MEASURING HAY IN BULK AND IN
STACK.
No arbitrary rule for measuring hay
can be given that will apply in every
case, says the New York Sun. Ordina-
rily,with good upland hay in small mows
and not too heavy pressed, ,5l2 cubic feet
are calculated for ton, but if the NOW
is large and the hay closely pressed 400
cubic feet will make a ton. This is upon
the supposition that the hay comes from
an old NOW. Therefore to find the num-
Der of tons in barn NOW multiply the
length, breadth and depth in feet togeth-
er and divide by such number between
400 and 5l2 as is believed to be necessa-
nv to meet the condition of the NOW. In
the case of stacks the case becomes lit
tie more complicated in the matter of
calculations. To find the cubic feet in
a regular conical stack first find the area
of the base by multiplying the square of
the circumference in feet (Which is east
ly measured) by the decimal .O795S and
the product thus obtained by one-third
of the height in feet, and then divided
as before. If the stack is square or OBJ
long upon its base, and is very nearly
regular, like the roof of house, multi
ply the length and breadth in feet by
one-half the height in feet, and then di-
vide as before. If the stack is in the
form of frustum pyramid the accurate
calculation becomes more complicated,
and as an approximate rule will answer
all purposes we will only give the latter.
Find the area of the top and bottom
each by multiplying the length by the
breadth, and then multiply one-half the
sum of these two areas by the height,
and divide as before directed. These
will probably be sufficient for all ordi-
nary cases. We are of the opinion that
in practice 512 is more frequently used
for diyisor than any other number.
