DR.. M. II. Trumbower, State Veter-

proceed to Lombard, Dupage County,

that are used there for cultivating
vaccine virus. He did so, and has sub
mitted his report. After giving the
character of the cattle selected from
the Union Stockyards at Chicago, he
tell, how they cared for on the
vaccine farm, and concludes his report
as follows:
This business has been carried on for the

those with brass trimmings. Now that
most of the Sioux are content TO reside

how many stray dogs disappear from

Indian village in the outskirts OF the

boiling over the bright fires would
solve the mystery. When the last

Efforts or the Agricultural Department.
Meeting with Success.
The inquiry being made by the Agri-
cultural Department into the system of
road management and road-making
methods in the United States is meet
ing with favorable results Among
other things the cooperation Ct prac-
tically all OF the principal railrca ads in
reducing freight rates on road mate
rials has been secured. The edition,
5000 copies, of bulletin No. | on "Re-
cent Road Laws of the Various States"
has been exhausted and reprint has
been ordered. Information is being
gathered for further publications for
which many apple ations a"e now on
file. Concerning some of the results
reached, General Roy Stone, who is in
charge of the investigation, said:
1T appears that while many short
sections of good highways are being
built in various Parts OF the country,
with crafty ng general cheapness in
cost and freedom from burd nsome
taxation, yet in sCme OF the States a
serious sc tback to the movement has
occurred through the failure of legis-
lation intended to advance it and relied
upon for general results. The optional
Country TOdu laws | d>so III 1870 nave
nowhere proved acceptable to the
county boards, except with two counties
in Michigan. 1t is clear, therefore,
that these laws are either in advance
of public education or at variance with
the public judgment in the States con-
cerned, and that new departure must
be taken to insure any prompt and
general advance in highway construc-
tiCn in those States.
Fortunately it has been able to
point to the remarkable success of the
State aid and local ortion law of New
Jersey, and to commend it with certain
notifications to the consideration of
other States. That law proceeds upon
the theory that while the country as q
whole may be unwilling to embark In
road building, those smaller c)mmuni-
ties which are themselves willing to
contribute fairly toward the improve
ment OF their highways may Justly de-
mand county and state aid in carrying
on such improvements.

The Steepest Railroad Grade.

Much has been written about the
construction OF the mountain divi-
sions Of the Denver and Rio Grande
Railroad in Colorado and the won
derful engineering skill displayed In
ascending the California mountains
south of Tulare Valley through Te-
hachapi Pass. But after all this, the
little feeder Of the Leadville division
of the Rio Grande exceeds all other
roads In its steep grades and short
curves.
When the line first went into ope.
ration many accidents occurred by
the trains breaking away at the top
and running back down the steep
grades, wrecking locomotives and cars
and destroying limbs and som etimes
lives.
Later, however, extremely heavy
locomotives have been built and the
most skillful and the bravest train
hands are employed, who never finch
in the supreme moment Of danger.
The result has been that accidents
now seldom occur.
1t is said that the sight OF one OF
these trains descending is one of
thrilling interest, the sparks from
the car-wheels cutting a pathway of
light down the mountains which can
best be described as having the APP
pearance OF a molten stream of fire
rushing down to the river bed OF the
canyon.

A Chinese Strong Man.

A Hankow correspondent gives an
account Of the discovery OF a young
Samson at the militia examinations.
There were about 900 candidates, of
whom sixty-three obtained the degree
of promoted men. They are tried in
archery, lifting, sword and spear ex-
ercise, ETC., also In writing. The
senior wrangler was young man,
only twenty-five years Of age, from
Kinhau. His particular success was
in lifting, and his strength is esti-
mated at 800 catties (the catty is
about one and one-half pounds),
though really they say 1t is only 600
catties. This is tested by lifting a
square stone Of 300 catties weight as
high as the breast. This man not
only lifted it to that height, but
gave it little toss up and caught it
as 1t came down.
The governor was astonished and
asked him to repeat the feat. The
young man, supposing that he was
suspected Of having some secret help,
threw off his coat, exposing his bare
body, and repeated the feat to the
entire satisfaction of the judges.
Though in archery and other prac-
tices his skill was not conspicuous,
he was awarded the first place on the
list of successful candidates, and the
governor did him the honor of asking
who had been his teacher and trainer
He replied that it was his father,
who was himself military officer
and had served at Ningpo and else
where.-San Francisco Chronicle.

PEACE IN HONDURAS.

The prospects OF peace in Central
America have not been SO bright for
nearly three years as they are now.
This is because Vas1uez, the President
of Honduras, has sought safety in flight,
and the leader Of the rebels, Policarpo
Bonilla, will soon be elected in his
stead. 1t Is about three years since
Bogran's term of Office expired as Pres
ident of Honduras. Not being eligible
to re election, he managed to secure
the election Of POnciana Leiva, a sub
servient tool. The candidate OF the
ant administration party was ROnil a,
who claimed that Leiva's election was
unconstitutional and unfair, AID at
once began to SOW the seeds of revolu-
ton. Bogran died, but Leiva was in

finally became frightened at the pro-
portions the instruction had assumed,
and turned the Pres lency over to Vas
quez. Vasluez was not popular, but
he conducted a vigorous camp; i IN
agai lst R)nilla, so that the later was
finally driven out OF the count " into
Nicaragua.
Peace followed for a time, although
Bonilla was quietly nursing his wrath
and preparing for future operations.
Conspirators against Vasquez were ex-
ecuted every now and then by order OF
the President and an outbreak was al
most constantly expected. In the
meantime Bonilla was collecting othe.'
exiles, and biding his time for the in
vasion Of Honduras. Vas1uez pro-
tested to the Nicaraeuan Government
against its harboriug of such an expe-
dition. The controversy ended finally
in war. Last December the N clra-
guans together with number
OF Honduran malcontents, under
the leadership OF Bonilla, in
vaded Honduras. Vasquez resisted
as we'll as he was able, but was finally
penned up with the remnant of his
forces in the cadital The city was be-
sieged, until Tegucigalpa was surren-
dered to the rebel. 1t was predicted
that Vasquez would be shot. 1t appear,
however, that he has sought an asylum
in Salvador President Ezeta OF that
country will recognize Bonilla as the
ruler of Honduras, and at the elections
so IN to follow Bonilla will undoubted

amnesty to all who participated in the
conflict.
In the long sisge the allied arm @,
lost only two generals, seven colonies
and 2CO privates. When peace is firmly
established the Nicaraguan army with
its leader, Gen. OrteZ, will return to
their own country. Vasque was at La

Eats with Relish Atole, a Nutritious Dish

A late bulletin from DR.. Underwood,
who is nursing Congressman Wilson at
Guadala. ara, is very encouraging. His
pulse is steady, his temperature fairly
normal, and his appetite good. The
Mexican physician has prescribed atole
as diet. Atole is very nutritious dish.
Corn is ground by hand by Indian
women, and the meal Is then parched
and sifted into boiling hot water or
milk In the same manner as used in
mush in the United States. 1t is, how
ever, much moro appetizing than mush
when freshly ground and cooked. Con-
gresham Tarsney has the best Indian
woman obtainable cooking it fresh at
all hours OF the day, as Mr.. Wilson
eats it with relish, but can take only a
few spoonfuls at time. Consul Cen
eral Crittenden received message
from Mr. Tarsney saying Mr.. Wilson
is improving, that the climate is splen-
did, and he thinks the patient will pull
through. Mr.. Wilson is much pros
trated, but 1t is believed that the crisis
Is past.

Sudden fame.

About forty years age, when DR..
Bence Jones was leader and a great
authority among the scientific organ
izations of England, he received a
letter from Germany, saying:
"You English are the oldest peo-
pie. Here, to our laboratories, cones
every year young Irish schoolmaster
called Tyndall, with the quickest
brain, the most honest capacity for
research l have ever seen. Would
tlmt our German youths were run

"This brilliant young fellow has
never received the smallest recogni-
tion from English men or institu-
tions, and he tells me to-day that,
quite disheartened at last, he is pre-
pairing to emigrate to America"
Tyndall went through London, not
long afterward, to make preparations
for visiting America, and Doctor
Jones took care to meet him. He
fell at once under the spell OF his
wonderful talents, and determined
to bring him to public notice.
Il won't take any middle course, 7"
he said. 81 think you can leap to

The announcement was made, and

physician drove his p'Otege down to
the hall, he suddenly exclaimed:
"But, Tyndall, where are your

Tyndall smiled. "Well," said he,
"I'm afraid it's too late now"
The hall was crowded. All the
leaders of science were present. Tyn-
dali, who had never lectured before,
stepped into the famous tribune,
smiled, bowed, and poured forth the
results of his marvellous experiments
without falterjng- or pausing. He

is becoming so crowded that 1t will
soon be impossible TO accommodate any
more within its walls. Tuesday there
were 100 cases under treatment there,
and nearly all the available space in
the building and in the new wing was
occupied. Cots were placed in the cor
ridors in the upper part of the build
ing and the drying-room had been con-
verified into ward. DIR. Potter said to
a press correspondent that the outcome
OF the crowded condition OF affairs
will probably be that the city will
