TWO FISHERMEN LOST.
Buneted by tho Waves In San Francisco
BAY All Day md Then Drowned.

Bufreted by tho Waves In San Francisco
Bay All Day md Then Drowned.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 1.-Two fishermen
were drowned yesterday near the Berkeley
shore while southeast gale was raging.
For two hours they chung to the bottom Of
a boat, and when help was close at hand
the tired men gave out and fell back into
the bay. The men were Augustine Faul-
cent, owner of the boat, and Luigi Norris,
his assistant. It was predicted on Tues
day afternoon tina. the storm had passed
and clear weather was to follow. Early in
the evening the two men started out to
fish for sea bass. They had not gone far
when the gale struck them and Faulceni
decided to put back. but the force of the
wind blew the sail out and nearly capsized
the boat. The boat was rocked about like
a chip and big seas poured into
her. The entire night passed and
the boat got no further than
Goat island. In the morning she was
overturned and the men were thrown into
the bay. They were both good swimmers
and managed to climb onto the bottom of
the boat. The waves washed over them
again and again, but-they chung to the
keel with desperation. Their clothing was
heavy with salt water and their fingers
were numbed with cold. They at last
could hang on no longer and slid from the
bottom OF the boat into the bay and were
drowned.
Antonio Mar;ino was also caught by the
gale and narrowly escaped with his life.
He went out on Saturday night, when the
storm came on. Sunday he was driven
ashore on Sheep island, and there he re-
NAMED until rescued yesterday. When
picked up he was more dead than alive. as
he had had nothing to eat for four days.

The Debate on tho Army Bill.

BERLIN, Dec. 1.-During the debate on
the budget today. DR.. Bull, leader of the
National Liberals. said his party would
vote for the demands of the government
for money for military purposes as far as
compatible with the vital interests Of the
army bill, but to go to the full extent was
impracticable. In the course of his speech
DR.. Bull complained of the inadequate
share Germany had taken in the celebra-
tons in honor of the 400th anniversary of
the discovery Of America. Chancellor Won
Caprivi SAID Germany was worthily repre-
scented at the Columbus fetes at Genoa and
in Spain. Herr Liebknecht, socialist
leader, in a speech urged that the militia
system be established In Germany, and
that political morality be improved.

FARM HINTS.

Prof. Robertson, of Canada, said in
the last New York dairy convention
that he knew of a man in the province
of Quebec who had four cows. In 1888
they gave seventy eight pounds of but
ter each. He commenced feeding a lit
tie corn and bran, and in 1889 they gave
131 pounds of butter each. He kept in
creasing the ration and good care, and
in 1890 it was 2041155, and this year it will
be $50 pounds. This shows what men
car do with the common COW. 1t also
shows what good feeding will do.
Some one sensibly declares that ex-
ercise is positively necessary GU the
part of the dam for the proper deyel-
Opment of the young she carries. Much
better results may be expected fro m
ANIMALS that have had abundant exer-
else before coupling than from animals
that have been closely confined. EXer-
else conduces to good health. This APP
plies to all breeding animals, the eXer-
else of each to be in accordance with its
nature.
At the late dairy convention in Ne
braska, e. l.. Gabrelson said: 1.-THE
question of temperature, comfort and
abundance of palatable food is, in my
opinion, of greater Importance than the
balanced rations of which we hear sc
much nowadays. The approximate rules
may be worked out from observing
many cows must be conceded, but since
no two cows. any more than any two
persons, are alike IN form or habits. we
cannot lay down cast-iron rules fol
feeding them"
Ex-Gov. Hoard, of Wisconsin, who
has been in New England several times
during the last season, says: sit would
do lot of our Western dairy farmers a
deal of good to visit some of these New
England dairles that yield 800 to 400

BoMR-PRooF JOHNSON.
How He Got His Queer Sobriquet
From General Grant.

John johnson, better known aS."bomb-
proof" a demented but perfectly harm
less colored man, is dead, says the New
York Times. He was well known in
Grand Army circles. and had lived by
the charities of Grand Army men for
the last twenty years.
Johnson received his queer sobrIquet
.'bomb-pfoof" from Gen. Grant. When
the Union troops were making their APP
proach toward Richmond artillery duels
between the Confederate stronghold,
Fort Darling, and the United States bat
terieS at Harrison's Landing were of
daily occurrence. 1t was not often that
the Confederates' shells did any harm,
but one day a "Screamer" fell among a
number of officers who were seated
before their tents. John Johnson, then
an intelligent contraband, and the serv-
ant of one Of these officers, was present.
The shell rolled directly to his feet.
Each one did his best to get away
from the neighborhood of the unWel-
come visitor, except Johnson. He
stopped and attempted to roll the shell
toward the embankment, intending to
hurl it over into the ditch, but before
he could carry out his purpose it eX-
pioded.
The officers fastened back to where
the brave fellow had fallen, expecting
to find him dead. He was merely
stunned, however. and bore not the
slightest sign of having been wounded,
but after he had recovered it was seen
that the shock in some way had affected
his mind, although not enough to make
him unfit for duty.
Some time after this occurrence John
son was contaminated for something
he had done. and found guilty. The
verdict of the court was sent to Gen.
Grant for his approval. The general, who
knew of the shell incident, sent the YER
dict back with this Endorsement:
mot approved. 'Bomb-proofs' are moi
responsible"

He not only wanted the autopsy, bur

The Experience That Befell Man

''You are looking fiustered this morn

uredly commenting on the appearance
of brother merchant who had called

Tribune.
''Well, | feel 'fustered,'' responded
the caller, and then, as if his better
spirits had gained the mastery in pro-
tracted struggle with chagrin, mortiiica-
ton, etc., smile spread over his face
as he explained:
