The Chinese Deficient in Military System
and Discipline.
The Chinese are an untidy race,
whose cities in their native country are
frightfully unelean, and whose special
quarters in our cities arc apt to afford
anxiety to boards OF health. The Jap
anese, on the contrary, arc extremely
clearly, orderly and neat; and one of
the stories told Of Chinese soldiers in
the present wFcr tends to show that
this difference has played TO small part
in determining victory or defeat.
The japanese are armed with mod
ern weapons. of which they take ex-
cellent care, and which they handle
with skill and efficiency. A lady writ
ing from China says that the Chinese
troops are provided with a curious va
riety of European arms, obsolete.
ancient and new; and that cartridges
for perhaps twenty different makes
are all served out together.
In Manchuria she actually saw cart
ridges piled carelessly on the ground,
mot in boxes, but lying in great heaps
like potatocs-long and short, fat and
thin, all mixed together, and soldiers
fitting them to theirguns, trying them,
and throwing away those which were
too large or too smalln'
No wonder the Cinnamon do not
stand before the japanese. As soon as
the cartridges each man happens to
carry are exhausted he can only de-
pend on one chance in twenty of get
ting any more that he can use. He sell
dom waits that chance; he runs, and
throws his useless rifle promptly away
that he may run the faster.-London

MILK For THE PIGS.
Good Thing When Fcd in Connection with
Something Else.


Something Else.
There is hardly any doubt that with
good management better profit can
be realized in feeding the milk to
thrifty growing pigs than to make into
butter, take to the country stores and
sell at the price usually received, at
least during the greater part of the
season, and at a considerable saving of
time and labor But in feeding milk
to pigs to make the most of it, in near
ly all cases it must be fed in connec-
ton with something else. From the
time the pig is farrowed until it is
ready to finish for market, milk can be
made its entire food, and later on its
principal food. The milk must at first
be supplied by feeding the SOW with
good producing food, and as soon
as the pig learns to eat it can be fed
milk, and if the SOW is fed sloppy
foods made up with milk the pig will
learn to eat much earlier than if corn
or grain Of 90 1H'o~77ad upon.
But in nearly all cases The uesU way
of feeding milk is in connection with
other foods, as it requires too large an
amount of milk alone to make pound
of gain in a pig. But made into a slop
with middlings and bran, oil meal and
bran, or cornmeal and bran, it not only
makes a healthy, but an economical
food. But even then the lowest cost of
growth will not be realized unless, in
addition, good pasturage is provided
Give growing pigs the run of good
pasture-clover is always best-and
then feed good milk slop night and
morning, and in a majority Of cases
the best growth at the lowest cost can
be realized. And if this is done milk
can be sold at a better price. fed in this
way to vigorous, thrifty pigs, than will
be realized by making into butter at
eight or ten cents pound at the coun-
try store, and all of the labor of but
ter making be avoided in addition. 1t
is true that III majority of cases the
same milk and the same amount of
labor spent in making poor butter will,
with different management, make but
ter that will bring two or three times
that much. Prairie Farmer.

Slow Work.
Spectator.

The late Prof. IIyrtl was very fond
of animals. Some years ago one of his
fellow professors undertook some ex-
2eriments to ascertain the loss of
wei~'1t in cases of starvation, using for
the purpose a lot of rabbits. The sub
iects OF the experiment were weighed
every day, but to the professors aston
ishment they gained flesh instead Of
losing it. 1t was some time before he
found out that Prof. Hyrtl had been
keeping them well supplied with food.
Became Turks.
There are large number of Euro
pean noblemen, particularly members
of the French, italian, German and
Hungarian aristocracy, who have re-
nounced, along with their former
Christian faith, their names, which are
now concealed under Turkish patro-
nymics. Thus, Nopri Pasha, whom the
sultan had appointed as ambassador
at Vienna and whom Emperor Francis
Joseph declined to receive at his court,
is no other than the French Comte de
Chateauneuf. who, after entering the
Ottoman army and marrying Turkish
lady, embraced the Mohammcdan faith
There has always been an antipathy
felt since the time of the crusades
against these renegades, and it is
solely on this account that the EN-
peror of Austria refused to permit
Nouri Pasha to represent the sultan at
his court.

Unfortunate.
How often our most innocent
speeches gang agley," leaving US with
no resource but that of making the
best of bad matter! A certain Scotch
minister is won't to relate how, having
been out all day visiting, he called on
an old dame well known for her kind
ness and hospitality. After some con-
versation she began getting out her
best china and whatever delicacies
were at hand to honor her unexpected
guest. As he sat watching the prep
arations his eye suddenly fell on four
or five cats devouring some cold por-
ridge under the table. Dear me,

number of cats! Do they all belong to
you?" Ma. ma, SIR was the innocent
reply; "but mony time say that a.

An 81 nix Note.

The Bank of England has in its pos
session a bank note dated December
10, 1899, for e555. 1t was printed from
an engraved plate, but had blank spaces
for the amount, date, number, and sig
nature. Across it are written memo
randa, showing that it was repaid in
three installments. In appearance it is
not altogether unlike the modern note.
