such as are not only fair, but commenda-
BILE in war.
When the Maoris were in want of bull
lets, they used to show dummy in the
bush. OF course it was Immediately fired
at, A man in the background pulled it
down by a string.
"Oh, " thought the British soldiers, "we
have done for him!"
Up came the dummy again cautiously.
Bang, bang! went the British rifles. Down
fell dummy, and this went on till some
worse marksman than usual cut the dunn
my's rope. No Maori would go up the
tree to splice it, for that exposure meant
certain death.
The bullets were all taken out of a little
earth bank which the Maoris had made
behind the tree where the dummy appear

A STRONG APPEAL.

The commissioners to Circulate Petit
tions and Present the same to the
Governor.
The Commissioners Of this county will
use every effort to induce the Governor not
10 approve the Quay County till. That
portion of Schuylkill county which is pro-
posed to take to make up Quay county
comprises the three Unions, Rahn, Kline,
Rush and Ryan townships. The loss Of
these townships, it is claimed, will "bring
unnecessary burdens and inconvenience"
upon the citizens Of old Schuylkill and a
strong appeal will he made to the people
residing in the wnships nam-d above 10
oppose the dismemberment of their oil
county.
Petitions will he circulated in the town
ships named and the commissioners started
out to-day to place the papers in the
hands of the taxpayers for their signatures.
The petition opens with greeting to Cover
nor Hastings and reads as follows
''We the undersigned citizens and tax
payers Of that portion of Schuylkill county
intended to be incorporated into a new
county respectfully request you to veto bill
known as the "Quay County Bill' because
if it becomes law it would be detri-
mental to our interests, bring upon us un-
necessary burdens and inconvenience us in
many respects"

Frank Mason, United State Consul
at Frankfort, has submitted to the de-
partment of States Almost interesting
report on antitoxine, the new curative
for md preventive of diphtheria. He
explained that he is imnelled to do
this because the subject Is about to en-.

Mr.. Mason gives a clear and detailed
description OF every step in the process
OF production Of the new remedy,
reached by an accurate historical
sketch of its discovery and develop

which he refers is hat at the Car
broerk AT Hechst-on the-Main." Sheep
and goats, which at first were emyloy-
ed TO produce the serum, were discard

by the various foods they consumed.

establishment now utilities the blood of
seventy-six horses and has q trained
corps of more than fifty men employed
at this one work, %prolucing at present
about 1000 doses per day, and by the
end OF this month it will supply the
demand. 1t is absolutely requisite
that the horses be young, vigorous and
physically perfect, and no racing stud
was ever better housed, exercised, fed
and cared. The anti-tOxine improves
with age, at least during the first two
months, and the German physicians no
longer use 1T fresh, when It is apt to
cause skin eruption. Early application,
however, Is OF the utmost Importance.

"A farmer bv tho name ~

A farmer by the name of Brannon,
about eight miles from Spartanburg,
made up his mind at the beginning OF
1894 that he would devote every Satur-
day to marketing eggs and butter. He
started In with forty-eight hens and
two mich COWS. Sometimes he gave
only half q Saturday to selling these
products. During the year his hens
brought In $75 and his butter $40,
making q total of$l11. He supplied
his own table with these articles and
sold what the family did not use. He
was a onc-horse farmer and made six
bales of cotton, which brought him In
about $3.50. III he had owned one more

have made as much as his cotton crop.
