one time he was one of the most extensive
breeders Of race horses in Germany. he was
the representative German sportsman, and
the most venturesome, both on the taff and
at cards. Fortune was invariably kind to
him, until only . short time ago. he formed
his first stud by taking ever q number of
horses from a sportsman who had got into
difficulties, and through them he acquired q
large estate at Hoppeearten, erected villa,
and built long range of model stables. His
luck at cards became as proverbial as his
fortune on the turf, but two years ago his
star began to fade, and horses, cards and
stocks all failed him, so that in 1889 he was
ruined, after the most brilliant career of its
kind known to his country. He was not
fifty when he died.
During the Pell trial in New York bank
cashier testified that the banks Of the city,
everyone of them, were in the habit Of over
certifying checks whese daily aggregate
amounted to millions. The judge of the
Criminal court was 80 amazed at this dis
closure that he asked the witness to repeat
the assertion. He did repeat it and with
emphasis. Although the United States
statutes forbid national banks to certify
checks when the maker of them has no
funds in the bank, yet the statute is univer~
sally avoided. The checks are not technical
ly overcerti6ed, because the cashiers write
across them "accepted," instead of the Gus
tomary certifcation. Bankers say, however,
that it would be impossible to carry on the
business of Wall street unless this thing ia
done. One banker declares that for years
no bank has lost dollar from over certi6ca-
ton, although they have nothing but the
honor of the customers to depend upon to
make the certifcation good.

THREE YEARS OR FOUR.

Il
Although the proposal to shorten the time
for 'going through" Harvard has found
favor with the faculty, the academic couu-
oil and the corporation, it is thought that the
board of overseers will reject 1t. This pro-
posal has grown out of the fact that in this
hurrying age four years is a longer time
than many feel like spending in college or
university. Harvard is not the only place
whore this matter has received attention.
Al Cornell, al Johns Hopkins and at Co
lumbia the question has beens under careful
consideration whether, in case the prepara-
tory school declines to take on more work,
the college degree may not be given on the
basis of courses, not on the amount of time
given to instruction. In the case Of medical
students, President Adams at Cornell has
suggested that a year might be saved
it the student intending to study
medicine pursued the first year Of
his professional studies essentially in the reg.
ular college course, making biology and
chemistry special electives. He has also
suggested that the student of law might gain
time by taking up in the college or university
course a range of studies that are preliminary
to legal education. The same idea Is under
examination at Johns Hopkins, where the
degrees are given for courses taken and WORK
done rather than on any special basis of time
spent in receiving instruction. Columbia
under It's new president, is dealing with the
same issue.
It is probable that shortening the course al
Der of students, but 1t is pretty plain thai
what was gained in quantity would be lost in
quality. Four years is not too long in which
to get a good education.

sTOPPED THE FIGHT.
The Bulls Were Doing the Best They
Could when the Turtle Interfered.

Could when the Turtle 1nterfered.
[From tho New York SUM-
GOSHEN, N. Y, May 31:-At Stony Ford,
on the famous stock farm of Charles Bach
man, two Holstein bulls were pasturing in
different fields, one on one side of the Wal
kill river and one on the ether side. There
had been bitter feud between the two
blooded animals for long time, and few
days ago one of the bulls took position on
the river bank in his pasture and beloved q
challenge to his enemy, the other bull.
This was quickly answered by the Holstein,
and he lost no time in getting to the bank on
his side of the Waikiki The two bulls stood
ia that way, believing and muttering, and
paving dirt for long time, each working
himself into deeper rage, until at last one
bull could contain himself no longer and
plunged into the river and swan toward his
rivals domain. The rival did not wait for
him to get there, but jumped into the river
and swan to meet him. The two ugly ami
mails, their tempers uncooled by their bath,
met in midstream snd attempted to have the
matter out right there. The lack Of footing
and the strength of the current prevented
either bull from making any telling assault,
but each tried his best to do battle.
While the sails were butting and below
ing In tutll6 rage IN the stream, Gne one tnat
had jumped ipto the river first suddenly gave
q tremendous below, and. turning about,
pulled back for his pasture, believing Justify
all the way and shaking his head violently.
He reached the shore, drew himself out and
scrambled up the bank. Then the cause of
his sudden panic and retreat became appa-
rent. A large swapping turtle, for which the
Waikiki is noted, had bser attracted to the
spot where the bulls were fighting in the wa
ter, and the tail of this bull presenting an
appearance to it's liking, the turtle had
closed his powerful jaws on it well up to-
ward the butt end. This attack in the rear
was more than she bull had calculated on,
and he pulled for home. When he got out
of the water he kept right on, tearing about
the field and making such a rumpus as that
farm had never known before.
The other bull, when its foe retIeated so
noisily and suddenly, seemed seized with q
panic, too, and swan back to his pasture as
quickly as he could When he alimbsd the
bank he gazed back at the strange circus his
rival was having. and uttered not sound.
After tearing about the lot two or three
times the bull the turtle had caught succeed
ed in shaking the snapper loose. 1t was
picked up and subsequently sent to restau'
rant keeper in New York city. The bull
that the turtle didn't catch has gone to the
bank and renewed his challenge every day
since the turtle broke up the fight, but his
rival pays no attention to it. He evidently
fears repetition of his first experience.

MUST PAY DAMAGES.

MUST PAY DAMAGES.
During the last three or four years the
courts have been called upon to decide some
very interesting and important questions
concerning the rights Of employers and ems
ployes. The latest decision of this kind ia
by the New York Supreme court. A year or
so ago an Albany brewery was in distress by
reason of the striking of it's workmen. The
officers sent out for non-union men, mostly
former employees, and thus managed to get
along for time. One man thus secured was
a skilled maltster named Cox. He was sent
for, was guaranteed work for year at fixed
wages. worked steadily for ten weeks and then
was discharged the brewery having surrender
ed to the demand of the striking unionists. As
usual, one of these demands was that all nom
union workmen be dischareed, and Cox had
to go. he promptly brought suit against the
brewery. He was successful in the city
court. The brewery appealed to the county
court. There the non-suit was ordered and
Cox appealed to the Supreme court. That
body gives Cox verdict for all he claimed,
and 1t is now anderstood that the brewery,
having spent some thousands of dollars
fighting the case, will now pay the verdict
without further waste of time and money.
This is an entirely reasonable and equitable
decision. If an employer is willing to
damage man at the demand of union he
ought to be made to pay for it.

STORIES OF JESSE JAMES.

SVOHxES OF JESSE JAMES.
New Light on fhe Character of tho Fa-
mous Missouri Bandit.
From the Denver Republican,
"Jesse James, the Missouri bandit, pos
sassed many manly qualities" feelingly ex-
claimed Uncle Dick Henderson at the Bruns-
wick last evening. "I knew him we'll. He
was turned into Nemeais after the Pinker-
tons threw that bomb through the window
of the Samuels residence and blew off the
arm Of Jesse's mother. Ever after that oc-
currence both Frank and Jesse declared war
to the knife on the Pinkerton men. The
killing of jesse James by Bob Ford was the
fend. Bob wasn't eating regular when
Jesse took him to his home, gave him shell
ter and food and treated him well. One day,
when Jesse was busting off picture and
had his back turned, Bob shot him from be-
hind. Of course you know that, but very
few people ever learned what picture Jesse
was busting off when he got bis death
wound. 1t was the large picture Of his dear
old, white-haired mother, whom he loved
dearly.
'sIn one robbery at Blue Cut, when the
James gang went through q train, Jesse led
the way and relieved the passengers of their
valuables. He came to one woman in black
who was sobbing bitterly. Jesse stopped and
| inquired the cause of her sorrow. As she

Tears came to the eyes of the train robber.
Going into his pocket he returned the $40
| and added two crisp one-hundred- dollar bills
to it, which he forced the widow to accept.
He never would rob cripple or an old gray
haired woman, either. He once took an
overcoat off his own back in the streets of
Liberty, NO., and gave it to a poor, shiver-
| ing old man that had been turned out into
the cold by an ungrateful son-in-law. I
could name many other instances.
"Little Jesse James, the son of the dead
bandit, is making quite an income out of the

the devotion of her husband. She says that

The Value Of Fat Pork.

lcioiu A. ~. kA0AOioohs hs ~
/ The standard of force produced in human
body is based on the estimate of the number
of tons person can lift in day one per-
psndicular foot. We call these foot tons.
Expressed in this way the vital energy of a
man in his prime averages 5000 foot tons.
Unusually strong men might go as high as
1000, even 5000. This force has fixed re-
lation to the food consumed in the same
time. If the food were oxidized in labora-
tory-that is simply and actually bnrnt-it
would give by its heat the same mechanical
equivalent in foot tons as when it is burned
as the bodily tissue which it supplies the
waste of.
Different foods are estimated in relation to
the same foot ton. The waste of mans
tissue by an amount of labor represented by
16 foot tons is what one cabbage could far
nish the repair of for instance. One ounce
of cerrot could thus stand against 20 foot
tons; of milk against 25 foot tons:of lean
meat, against 281, and of fat pork, against
even more than butter. You have here an
indication of the great value of fat pork to
those doing severe labor; as the men in win
ter lumber camps, soldiers in active service,
gailors, and the like.
