The longest racing contest in the
history of the world was finished at
Chicago, June q. The cowboy race
from Chadron, Neb., to the entrance
of Buffalo Bills Wild West show is
ended, and the first man in was John
Berry who rode under a protest
from the other contestants.
On June 27, at Chicago, Mrs.
Flora Inholsen, with her two children
age6 years and months, respective
ly, and Maggie Slavin, age 13 years,
while driving across the Burlington
Railroad track at Millard avenue
were struck by a train. Both child.
rem were killed, the girl fatally hurt
and the mother seriously injured.
The boldest attempt at train rob-
berry ever made in Texas occurred
June % near Breckenridge. The
affair resulted in the killing of F. N.
Martin, a fireman, and the capture
of one of the robbers, who gives the
name Off. D. May, and says he is a
cowboy.
The Chickasaw Legislature, con-
vened in special session at Denison,
Texas, June 20, has adjourned after
enactlng that the money just re-
ceived from the Government shall be
distributed under the old annuity
law, which allows white men and
women who married natives the same
rights in the distribution of public
funds as the Indians. The attorney
who lobbied the $4,000, 600 appropri.
alton bill through will receive 6 per
cent. The agreement was 25 pei
cent.
Miss Julia Force was put on trial
at Atlanta, Ca, June q, for the
murder of her two sisters last Febru.
ary. She kept diary for year OF
more, and all through it appeared
mention of her intention of some
time killing her sisters. This was
placed in evidence and other testi.
mony adduced and then the case was
summed up. The jury remained out
only a few minutes and brought in q
verdict of not guilty. She will be
at once sent to the State Lunatit
Asylum at Milledgeville.

At the State Department at Wash
ington, significant statement attri-
buted to the Chinese Viceroy, to the
effect that new treaty must be nego-
tiated between China and the United
States to regulate the immigration
question, caused suggestion to be
made by the State Department Off
cial that the President could thus,
with the aid Of the Senate, absolutely
nullify the Geary law. There would
be no necessity to secure the consent
of the House of Representatives. A
treaty has the full power of statute
in the United Ttates, and if of later
date can replace it as the law of the
land.

SOME MAKE MONEY, SOME LOSE.
Is the Cause OF A griculture Responsible fol
the Unsuooessful Farmers.

Three-fourths of the cows on the
farms produce less than 100 pounds
OF butter each, or it's equivalent in
in milk, annually, as result of poor
breeding, poor feeding and bad treat
ment
Those who have given dairying
any thought, or have had any exper-
ience in this industry, will not deny
that it is easy attainable to breed
and so manage dairy as to produce
from 200 to 25O pounds of butter
annually. The difference between a
COW that produces less than 100
pounds of butter, and one that pro-
duces 225 pounds is the difference
between ruin and success.
But we have considered only the
question of pounds, regardless of
quality. The difference in value
between 100 pounds of inferior butter
and 225 pounds of superior article,
carries the comparison a great way
farther. When we consider results
so alarmingly at variance, shall we
for a moment hesitate which of these
two methods leads to success? Such
fearful odds exist in no other indus
try and it is shame and disgrace to
the farmer, that in this age when so
much knowledge can be obtained
concerning single branch of his
labors, that he will allow such a dis
crepancy to exist.
Let me give you another illustra
ton, in that of fruit raising. Hun.
dreds of thousands of dollars have
been spent by farmers in purchasing
fruit trees and vines, and it is safe to
| say that nine-tenths of this money
has been a dead loss. And why?
Because the farmer had no time to
give for their proper care and culti-
walton, and knew but little Of the
true method of conducting fruit
| growing,

Produced Mt Home.
There is a chance for argument in
favor of specialties in farming as in
other lines of industry but there is
danger of carrying the idea too far.
The following is sound view of the
subject: We have never believed that
it was wise for the average farmer
to put all his eggs into one basket.
We do not like the idea of so-called
agriculture which buys everything it
needs for the sake of devoting itself
to a single crop to be sold off the
farm.
The farmer if worthy of his call
ing, will, it seems to us, aim to pro-
duce upon his own acres whatever
he profltably can to supply the needs
of his family, and such live stock as
he can advantageously keep. He
will have good garden, and at least
fruit enough, of varied sorts, for an
ample home supply. He will not un.
dertake to grow extensively general
crops for which his farm is i'll adapt.
ed, but unless he is conscious of poss-
essing trading capacity above the
average, he will make it rule to buy
rs little as may be which it is possi-
BILE for him to produce. He will find
ease and home comfort all pointing
in this direction, and will escape
great deal of fret and worry which
attends the opposite course. There
are a multitude of good things which
the farmer who fails to raise them
goes without.
He must have, of course, in addi-
tion to his home needs, a cash crop
for market, and what it shall be, his
personal inclinations, his soil, his To-
cation with regard to natural mar
kets, amount of help, steady or tenn
porary, at his command, and some
other considerations will dictate.

ATTEMPT TO CROSS ARABIA.

The London correspondent of the
Manchester Evening News writes
I'm October last had an interview
with lady evangelist and traveller
whose intention it was to cross
Arabia from coast to coast. That
the enterprise was perilous one the
fate of poor Edward Palmer suf-
fciently proves. That it has been
for years the ambition of geogra-
piers is attested by the writings of
Burton, Keith, Falconer, and Pal
grave. Mr.. Lethaby began his pre-
parations by enlisting a young
British soldier, who resigned his
regiment, then stationed at Cairo,
for the purpose. He also sought the
assistance of the American mission
at Bassorah on the Persian Gulf.
For the present the attempt has
been abandoned i'll consequence
of the difficulty of forming
reliable party but | understand
that it is to be resumed at an ca ly
date. 1t may be mentioned that the
obstacles thrown in the way of all
such enterprises by the Sublime
Porte are almost insuperable. All
travellers have to enter into an un-
dertaking not to carry out of the
empire any antiquities or other relics
which they may encounter in the
course of their wanderings, it being
customary for all such objects to be
entombed in the museum at Con-
stantinople."

WONDERFUL ACCURAC Y OF TOUCH.

urement in which thousandth part
OF an inch variation in diameter

some kinds of work done in the
machine shops, a thousandth of an
inch has now become the most com.
monty employed unit of measurement
"a unit which is divided and sub

far surpasses the frequently men

PAsTEUR AND HIS INSTITUTE.

The operation of inoculating for
hydrophobia is founded on the the
DRY that If an "attenuated" microbe,
that is, a microbe so treated that its
power Of doing harm has been re-
duced to low degree, is introduced
into a body it will produce an
indisposition which is not itself Sc
rious, but which is sufficient to rem
der the body proof against attacks
of the original microbe.
1t is worthy OF note that of the
cases treated at the Institute, from
year to year, the percentage of
deaths is always decreasing. In
1886, 267l persons were vaccinated
against hydrophobia; 25 died-.94 Of
one per cent. In 1887, ITO received
treatment 10 died-.73 of one per
cent. In 1888, 1922 were treated,
9 died-.55 of one per cent. In
1889, 1880 were treated; 7 died
.3S of one per cent. In 1890, 1910
received treatment, 5 died-.32 of
one per cent. In 1891, 1859 were
treated 3 died-.19 of one per cent
in the latter year only one case
in 500 proved to be beyond treat
ment. The first patient was inocu-
ated in 1885 and his life saved after
a council of physicians had de-
cided that his death was certain.
The Pasteur Institute, contrary to
common opinion, is poorly endowed.
Its yearly income is only about 1884,
900. The three leading members of
the faculty, including M. Pasteur
himself, receive no salaries. It's the
old story, Zone sows and another
reaps." The words of Pasteur will
help us to estimate the severity of
his work. ITO believe that one has
found an important scientific fact,
to be in fever to announce it, to
compel ones self for days, weeks
sometimes years, to be silent, to force
ones self to destroy his own expert
ments and to announce nothing I'M
til he has exhausted all contrary hy-
potheses-that is hard" To his
colaborers he said, "All the enthusi-
assn you have had beg you to
keep; but give it, as an inseparable
companion, a severe control. An
nounce nothing that you cannot
prove in simple decisive fashion.
Cultivate the critical spirit. Left to
itself it neither awakens ideas, nor
stimulates to great DEEDS but with
out it all is lost"
In 1880, the year M. Pasteur had
decided to make an exhaustive study
of hydrophobia, all that he foresaw
was the possibility of vaccinating
dogs against rabies. The doctrine
Of microbe, e,theory that ferments
and virus are living beings, that a
vaccine is an attenuated virus, that
medicine is based on the artificial
attenuation of virus, all this has
been the study of intervening years.
Said DR.. Roux, the under director of
the Institute, "In science one does
not hope, one proves. In every
thirty thousand experiments one
succeeds. We study diseases here.
Each physician has his special line of
investigation. We hope for nothing.
We simply report what we find"
1t is great thing to achieve. 1t is
greater thing to inspire Others to
achieve. Louis Pasteur has had the
supreme good fortune to do BOTH

4 Merry thanksgiving

Thursday was the day set apart for
the people of our Nation to offer up
thanks to the Deity for His goodness
and care during the past twelve

the parlor of the Phoenix hotel, which

and a pleasant jaunt to friends in

the happy couple, to whose Joy The
