Italian named Maria Depasquae, about 80
years cd, who lived in Mulberry street. 1t
was only as last resort that the attempt to
renew the supply of blood in her system was
undertaken.
Charles B0ehn, an attendant in the hos
pital, consented to supply the vitalizing
fluid from his veins. Several physicians
were present at the operation. A vein
in BOehn's arm was opened, and a
similar incisi0n was made in the arm
of the diving woman. A silver tube was
used to connect the two. The operation was
mechanically successful, and fully pint OF
the Young mans blood was infused into the
voman's almost empty veins. She revived
perceptiby at first, the effect being almost
as stimulating as hypodermic injection OF
brandy. Boehn experienced no Ill effect be-

There was very little chance OF saving her

there on an average OF once month. A
similar operation, injecting an artificial libri-

successful results have many times been CD

Naming New Posts-A Noteworthy Fact
Concerning McCook.
1t is a noteworthy fact that General A.
Med. McCook, recently appointed Brigadier-
General is the last officer of the line who
attained the rank of MajOr-General during
the war of the rebellion. There are now
only eight officers of the Line in active serY-
ice WHO received the brevet rank OF
Major General. They are : Colonel
Carr of the Cavalry, Colonel jack
son of the artillery, and Colonels
Smith. Kautz, Wheaton and Car
lin of the infantry. But eight of the pres
ent line officers were acknowledgements,
viz; Colonies Carr, Forsyth and Brisbin of
the cavalry, Colonel jackson of the artil-
lery, and Colonels Kau'Z. Wheaton and
Carlin, and Lieutenant Colonel Penrose Of
the infantry. Twenty-six of the officers
If the line now on the active list received
the brevet of Brigadler- General.
The new post at Newport, KY, will be
called Fort Thomas, in honor of General
George III. Thomas, AMI that at San An
tonic, Fort Houston, in honor of General
sam Houston. 1t had been the intention to
call the first-named post Fort Crook, but as
the small fort on the plains, named some
time since after General Thomas, has been
abandoned, Secretary Proctor was DESTROYS
of naming after General Thomas some i'm
manent. As to General Crook. it was
thought that his service on the frontier
would make ii appropriate TO name the new
and important post at Omaha after him, and
this likely to be done though action by Cor
greSs is needed, since the new post was
designated in the act authorizing it as Fort
Omaha.
There can he no doubt, SAYS the Army
and Navy Register i'll regard to The feel
ing in the army as to the order dis on
tinuing seventy companies OF infantry and
cavalry. The complaints are heard amoag
officers everywhere. Could the TACT that
such an order was contemplated at the War
Department have been made known
throughout the service, the opposition to it
would have been so great, III our opinion,
as to have prevented the issue of the order.

HiatOrdc HousEs.

Two historic mansions stand in the town Of
Ledyard, Conn. One is the Allyn homestead,
at Allyn's Point. On the Thames river, and
the other the Rodman Miles mansion, which
is situated far back from the banks Of the
river in the heart Of the town. Both houses
figure in the history Of the Union, and are in
good state of preservation. A correspond
ent at New London writes of the Allyn home
stead that its exact age is not known. 1t Is
said to have been built by Robert Allyn or
by one Of his sons. Robert Allyn settled at
Allyn's Point near the middle of the Seven
tenth century and reared a large family, de-
scendants of whom are now influential in
business circles in New York and Chicago.
The Niles mansion is described as an immense
ch1mneyed pile, standing alone amid huge
elm trees over a mile from any human habi-
tation and on the edge Of a forest. It is said
to have been erected in 1909. It is painted
its original color-the bright red that was so
commonly used in New England q hundred
years ago-and the rived chestnut shingles
upon its roof and sides are still firmly held By
wrought iron nails which were hammered
out on a forge near by in the days when cut
mails were MISUNDERSTANDING.

Points of Interest.

In spite of the low price of wool the
past few years the United States has
never produced an amount equal to its
own needs. The clip for 1889 was ESQ.,
100000 pounds. Besides this, 1871, OO0,-
900 pounds were imported. Counting
the material used in imported textile
fabrics, the United States not
less than $50. O00, 900 pounds Of wool an
nually.
A writer in The Southern Live Stock
Journal says that where a barn or out
house is infested with feas sweep all
the dust away from under the building
and then food the ground with water.
Keep it wet several days. The pests. will
disappear. If hogs are permitted to
wallow in the dust under a barn or other
outbuildings the whole place viii be
overrun with these torrnentors. Wher.
ever hogs and rubbish are there + aeas.
In 1867 Iowa had s,soo,4e5 sheep. Now
there is in the state only about one-
fourth as many. Low prices for wool
and mutton did it.

Feed for Work Horses.


AS a rule, in the corn belt of the coun-
try, too much Of that grain is fed to
farm animals Of all kinds.
An excellent system of feeding for
horses at the beginning of blowing time
and through the working season would
be as follows: Feed oats in the morning,
cut feed at noon time, and oats again at
night. This with hay and a bran mash
twice u week will keep the horses strong
for work. Those who have tried it earn
estly recommend roots to be mixed with
cut feed for horses. Carrots and meal,
or rutabagas and meal, make an excel
lent occasional horse feed. In this coun-
try generally we do not feed animals on
the root crops as much as we should do.
They affcrd variety, and animals want
variety in food as we'll as man. One
reason why root crops for stock feed are
not cultivated here more is the high price
of labor. Neither the farmer nor the
farmers hired man likes to break his
back over carrots. rutabagas or mangel
wurzels, no matter how excellent they
may be for horses and cows.

SHEM, HAM N JAPHETH.
l have heard, had always begot single
calves until this case. The steers were
castrated when a few weeks old. They
were born Mays l bought them on
Aug. 70. They were allowed to suck]e
the dam until I took them, on Aug. IA. I
then tried to teach them to drink new
milk as taken from the COW, but they
would not touch it. 1 fed them on hay,
ground oats and wheat bran, and after q
few days began to give them ears of corn
left from the table in the boiling season.
They relished the green ears very much.
AS the corn matured I put them on
the hard corn, giving them two or three
ears each now and then. They are
now eating about three quarts of bran
apiece each day, and also, first, a hand
full of oats, then two or three ears of
corn and afterwards a few roots-beets
or carrots. They have gained very finely.
