He Is the man chosen by the syndicate to lead

Included in the grant were the holdings Of
the Mexicans whose families had held the land
for centuries-Mexican hidalgos whose vast
estates stretched for miles and who had lived
in feutial splendor undisturbed almost since
Cortez wrested the lands from the Aztec
owners.

which will be erected next year in Fairmoun

gave IrOf. Rudolph Siemering Of Berlin an
order for this work. Ever since the master has
been at the task, and now the work is nearing
its completion.
The large-sized model Of the monument NAV

steps OF Swedish granite. representing the thir-
teen original states lead to the base of the
monument At the top of the steps the figures
of elks, buffaloes, wild horses and other animals
indigenous to America are placed in a reclining
position. Fountains representing the four prin-
cipal American rivers spring from the four cor
ncrs Of the base into mighty granite basins.
Figures of Indians and hunters surmount these
fountains.

one OF the best known sculptors in Germany.

From the LONDON Ieiegraph.
After life's fitful fever jules Gros journalist
composer OF comic songs and some time presi-
dent Of the shadowy republic of Guiana in
South America, has died at yanves, q SOUTH
eastern suburb Of Paris. Gros was an indie
fatigable globe trotter. and in the course Of his
peregrinations had taken notes which, when
published in Paris. obtained for him due recog-
milton from the Geographical Society. Some
two years ago another wandering friend Of his
M Guignes--asked him to become monarch
of q slice Of No Mans Land, on the borders Of
French Guiana and Brazil Gros refused royal
honors but declared his Willingness 10 become
president of the republic Of independents
Guiana, as the small territory was pompously
called. The young republic, therefore, Was
started on paper, a cabinet was formed. NJ.
Guignes being appointed prime minister
and the order OF the Star of Counani
was instituted. Meanwhile protests were rAi-ed
against the proceedings Of the would-be founders
Of a new commonwealth by the Brazilian and
Dutch governments. Gros was ordered 20 give
up his presidency by the French minister for
foreign affairs and to return home. lie did 50

Economic Weight Of Q Hog.

FROM the infef-Ocean.
Experiments made for the purpose Of deter
mining the economic weight Of Q hog show
conclusively that he never should be fed be-
yond eight or nine months Of age, and that the
largest profit is found, as q rule, in weight
not to exceed 200 pounds. What 10 known as
the food OF support plays a very important
part In the proht or loss of large weights.
suppose, as many farmers say, that O resolu-
ton is made to turn the hog when be reaches
800 pounds. He must take from his food an
increasing amount each day to support the
weight already gained, or else he drops back.
The German experiments indicate that per
cent OF the live weight in food must be taken
each day to support that live weight. II the
hog weighs 300 pounds this amounts 70 six
pounds Of food daily. The only profit is in the
food that 10 applied TO make the new weight
a recent pig-feeding experiment az the
Maine station illustrates this principle excel
lentiy. The pigs were taken at ages ranging
from five weeks to eight weeks. During the
frst 100 days Of the experiment not far from
two pounds Of digestible food produced one
pound OF growth, while during the last fifty
days the ratio was four pounds Of digestible food
to one OF growth. Every pound Of pork made
during the last fifty days cost double to that in
the first 100 days.
The lesson taught by this principle 10 prac-
ideally stated that the most money can be
made from young hogs turned at q medium
weight

A Chinese Banquet.

From the Youths Companion.
A wealthy Chinese merchant Of San Francisco
recently gave q banquet to some prominent
New York gentlemen with whom he had bust
ness relations, and many are the wonders told
Of the feast Delicacies which TO the American
palate we're UNBEATABLE were mingled with the
most delicious viands. Some Of them were
easily recognized. while others were a. strange
and unaccountable a. the native tongue of the
host.
Among the many sweets offered for dessert
were oranges of which the skin had apparently
not been broken. yet from which the pulp had
somehow been mysteriously removed. half Q
dozen sorts of jelly having been made to take
its place.
The guests were unable TO understand how
20 delicate an operation had been accomplished.
but their astonishment was increased whom the
next moment they were served with eggs Of
which the shells were apparently perfectly
whole. yet turned out to be full Of nuts and
candies.
Then another course Of sggs. exactly similar
in appearance, was laid before them, and vhsu
they broke the shells tiny live birds came ayine
out and futtered about the room.
"How in the world 10 this managed2'' on Of
the guests cried In astonishment.
ssNslican man heap smart, !" the host answered.
with laugh, "but Mclean man no Andee ont
alice things in wo'lde alice sameh."
And that vas the only satisfaetioa they could
obtain.
