REVISE TIE SIGNS.

Jersey breeder and high-caste butter
maker, at his Elmhurst farm, disputes
some of the commonly accepted signs of
q rood milk COW. When in a late address
he talked on revising the signs, among
other good things enunciated, he said:
at seems to be the almost universal
oninlon that a cow to be n good butter
and milk producer must have large milk
veins and that tho udder should collapse
to almost nothing when the milk is with
drawn. Ny experience and observations
are quite the reverse and induce me to
make the broad assertion that large milk
veins are no indication whatever of the
canacity of the individual for either milk
or butter. l have examined great many

Destruction Of Valuable B, & o. Proper
~ OF Brunswick,

The building known as the power
house was burned to the ground at
Brunswick, Md, Wednesday eve
ming. The fire broke out about $50
p. NJ, and in an hour the building
was complete wreck. The power
house was one Of the most import
ant buildings in connection with the
new Baltimore and Ohio yard at
that point. 1t was divided into two
compartments. One side contained
the boilers which furnished power
for the machinery and steam for
heating the buildings. The other
contained a new Westinghouse en-
CINE and q Huston electric
ligRt plant. The building was a
wooden structure covered with COR
rugated iron and a slate roof. A
large eupola in the center was the
point where the fire broke out. 1t
is supposed that sparks from the
smokestaek lodged there. and thus
started the fire. But twelve feet
from the power-house was the store-
house, large frame building, con-
tanning tanks of oil, waste, and 9TH
er railroad stores, and only the cool
est management on the part of the
yard officials apd the strenuous eff
forts of the men saged the building.
The company have made no provis-
ion for Ere there, but the best use
was made of the means at hand.
Strings.of men passed buckets of
water along the caves and over the
roof of this building. 1t was several
times on fire, but the men cheered
each other, and the building was
saved The power-house and its
contents are complete loss, which
will probably amount t., $4,000 or
$4,000

ferent, however, from the historic dis
play that attracted million witnesses
and was attended by 10000 soldiers.
The funeral of the deposed emperor of
Brazil took place under cover Of dark
ness There was no grand parade OF
soldiery, and the enormous crowd that
witnessed the solemn and SIMPLE process
sion seemed impressed by the lesson OF
the scene. The fact that the ex-emperor
had carried with him in his exile guam
tity of the soil Of his beloved Brazil be-
came known to the public yesterday, and
deeply touched all hearts, for none are
quicker than Frenchmen to appreciate
love Of country. Dom Pedro had carried
this Brazilian earth with him from place
to place, wherever he journeyed in his
exile. It was dug hastily in the garden
Of his summer palace at Petropolis, when
he bowed to the decree of Punishment
from Brazil, and he carried it with him
on the Algoas to Lisbon. This soil was
put in his coffin, SO that his head and
body rested upon it.
