Lost Grandeur of the East.

A comparison between the annual
revenues of the Byzantine empire in
the beginning of the thirteenth CEN
fury and the present revenues of the
empire of the Ottoman Turks brings
before the minds eye picture of the
lost grandeur and wealth of provinces
over which now broods the silence OF
desolation. At the period mentioned
the dominions of the Greek emperors
at Constantinople had been impover-
ishcd by the invasion of the Frank
Crusaders, and the chief part of Asia
Minor, with its fiourishing cities, had
been wrcsted from the Byzantine mon
archs by couquering Islam; yet the
annual income of the successors of
Constantine amounted TO S650,00O. 900
The revenues of the sultan's empire
have shrunk to S90,O0O,000 per year
Such is the blight which Turkish mis-
rule has brought upon some of the fair
est regions OF the earth.-Philadelph

The Mount Olympus sensation which
lately scared the good people of Wash

great mountain, has been brougl %
a sudden end by the return of = ex-
ploring party TO find out what was the
matter.
II seems that earth in that vicinity
is interlaid with veins of Ignite coal.
Forest trees have fallen into the crew
ices and glTges. enormous quantities
of leaves have drifted down upon these,
and by some means fires have been
started which have communicated will
the coal ems. Great jets of steam and
burst of smoke frequently come from
the sides of the mountain and these
coniirmvd the theory that there was
a genuine volcano in operation. II
seems that the heat has melted the
snow which has formed a perpetual
white cap at the summit. This. trick

accounts for the great volume of steam
The puffs of smoke and explosions are
thought to be caused by tine ignition
of collections of natural gas.
This condition OF affairs naturally
leads to the inquiry whether good

larger. The pipe should enter TIN
pump about is inches below its dis
charge spout, and should enter the
tank at the top. Every time the pump
is used there will gallon or more flow
into the tank, depending upon the bore
of the pump, the size of the pipe and
the length of time the pump is used.
The hotter the weather, the more
pumping is done, as rule, and the
cooler the water will be kept in the
tank.
The tank must have an outlet at the
opposite end from which the feed pipe
enters, and little larger than the feed
pipe. This outlet must be about two
inches lower than the top of the cans.
The water should always be little
higher than the milk.
If it is possible to utilize the waste
water for stock 1t should be done. 1t
will save that much extra pumping. In
our case it is conveyed through an I'M
foreground pipe (G) into the barn base
ment. into a tank, and used for the
horses as needed.
IN tne ulaBrdni, lne water enteIS tho
tank through the feed pipe(F). The
overflow escapes through the discharge
pipe (D) into the funnel (C). L is q
faucet for emptying the tank, which We
sometimes find necessary in hot wealth
er, when more water is needed in tho
stable. The tank is then refilled with
fresh water. In case we wish to pump
direct to the stable, the pipe is closed
at b, in the tank, the funnel removed,
and the pipe closed at c. The water is
pumped into reservoir or trough at A.
and finds its way to the stable through
the underground pipe (G) independent
of the tank. Where this plan can be
adopted it will be found very satisfac-
tory, but can only be used where the
tank is higher than the stable.-Ohio

KEEPING COWS CLEAN.
just Before Milking Is the Best Time for
Grooming.

just Before Milking Is the Best Time for
Grooming.
If one-half is true that the scientists
tell us about the extreme susceptibility
of milk to taints and disease germs, the
Importance of keeping cows clean can
not be exagge rated.
Assuming that, for their own COM
fort and for the sake of keeping the
milk clacn, the COWS are to be brushed
and groomed, where and when shall il
be done? If in the stables where they
are to be MIXED, then the atmosphere
of the stables must soon become loaded
with the dust and dirt, brushed or
carded from the COWS. and the milk is
more likely to be contaminated than if
the filth had beer allowed TO stay on the
COWS. The practice in good horse sta
bles is to take the horse out of the stall
for grooming.
The COW needs grooming more than
the horse, and in the opinion of the
Jersey Bulletin, 1t is of vastly more inn
portance to those who are to drink her
milk. Certainly, then, the cow is en-
titled to as much pains, as the horse,
and should be groomed in separate
place from that in which she Is MIXED.
For this purpose, an open shed is per-
haps best. As practical test of the
value of grooming cows. we suggest
that those who doubt it, make fair
trial by carefully weighing the milk of
two or three cows for three weeks or
30 days without grooming them, and
then, grooming them thoroughly for
the same time, note * there is any per-
ceptibIe difference tiet can be fairly at
tributed to the grooming. That the
cows will feel better, look better and
really be better off, we have not
the least doubt.
As to the time for grooming, it has
been found that just before milking is
the best.

lodging, care of borses-and no man

by the coat collar, struggled with him
for the bottle, and finally he threw it
away over the bushes which line the
capitol grounds. 1t struck a tree trunk
and was destroyed. That did not end
the fight.
The woman began pounding the
negro with her fists, while she uttered
a TRADE of CHASTITY profanity. The
statesmen and newspaper men did not
feel called upon to enter the arena in be-
half of either contestant. Moreover, it
is dangerous to interfere with the
negroes of Washington, for nearly all
of them, OF both sexes, carry razors.
So the fight went on, the woman doing
all of the swearing and pounding.
Finally the negro shook her from him,
and again tried to run, when she again
grabbed him. He then took hold of her
hair, and swinging her around like a
top, dropped her upon the hard cobble
stones on the south side of the street.
All this occurred within 200 feet of
the capitol building, and at the edge of
