PLAGUE EXCITEMENT
IN SAN FRANCISCO.
japanese Steamer Infected Win
the Terrible Disease.
ONE DEATH HAS OCCURRED.

San Francisco, June 30, This
city has reached high degree of
excitement by the danger from the
buhonic plague said TO have been
brought here by the Japanese
steamer Neppon Maru.
1t is known that a young Japan
ese girl died on the steamer two
days before arriving here, and was
buried at sea. This news reached
the japanese crew and they be-
came wild when they were inform
ed that the vessel was to be held
two weeks in quarantine. Two
members of the crew who had been
acting in peculiar manner. drop
ped overheard in the harbor with
life preservers on. They we're
drowned and the bodies washed
ashore this morning. The bodies
were taken in charge by the coro-
ner, who found upon examination
there were signs of the plague.
The chief danger is from the
Chinese who refuse to obey sani-
tary laws. If the disease is car
ried into Chinatown it may easily
be spread as rapidly as it does in
Hong Kong.

LIMIT OF SPEED BY STEAM.
The Nerves of the Engineer VIII Fix
the Boundary Line--Shad-
Ows Ahead.

An old locomotive engineer, in reply
to the statement that $50 miles an hour
was n of the possibilities of future
travel, says that they may build the
engines for a 15o-mile gait, but they
can't build the engineers. The strain
on the nerves at very high speeds is
something terrific, and anything over
50 miles an hour is q pace which Jars
every nerve in the body. The average
locomotive man is apt TO break down
under the influence of many spurts at
even 65 miles an hour. After such an
ordealbe is completely unhinged, jump
ing when he hears unexpected noises,
like a hysterical wonan BY those who
have passed through this experience
it is believed hat the strain comes
mainly through the sight. The engi-
neer has to look straight ahead, but at
the anne time. as It has been expressed.

ClanIn's Apple Woman.

"John Claiin is. one of the bet.

that a bug moving over the glass Will
give the engineer the impression Of a
COW lying just in front Of the pilot. At
very high speeds such an experience
conjures up visions of sudden death and
gives a sledge-hammer blow to every
nerve centerin the body of the engineer.
Old engineers say that the speed of
100 miles an hour is beyond the sus-
tanned endurance of the man at the
lever, and with a speed Of $50 miles
the human machine would go mad in

The tendency of the American
people to gush over, or rather to
over do many things is illustrated
in the case of Admiral Dewey. A
few weeks ago he was the idol of
the whole nation, and it was with
difficulty that the people could be
restrained from doing many fool
ish and unseemingly acts. Now
the one single act of Dewey's in
presenting his house to his bride
has brought about a complete re-
vulsion of sentiment and he is be-
ing roundly abused by the very
people who wanted to worship
him a few days ago. The whole
thing becomes a kind Of farce
comedy and the people turn else
where for ONE other idol, and the
hero Of Manila bay begins his de-
scent out of sight and out of mind.
One mistep, one foolish act is suf-
icient to dim his fame for all time
to come, and to destroy the fame
he won amid the roar of common,
and in facing death in one of the
greatest moral battles of the world.
Such is life, and such is the phan-
tasmagoria of human achieveme nt
and glory.

A good joke is told in regard to the
colored deckhands on the steamer Queen
City. One night recently corpse was
put aboard that boat at Cincinnati,
placed in dark out of the way locality.
Presently a drunken Irishman boarded
the boat and staggered to the place and
was soon sound asleep on the box, not
dreaming that there was a dead man
beneath him. The deckhands kept on
loading the boat, casting sly glance
occasionally in the direction of the box.
Finally the Irishman awoke, just as the
boat was landing at a small town above,
and sat up on the box, rubbing his eyes
'Look dar!' yelled one of the rousters
pointing to the live corpse, and in five
minutes every colored man on that boa
was ashore, rushing pell nell up tht
grade, and it took the captain, clerk
and mates nearly an hour to explain
before they could get them back again

COST OF HAY SHEDS.
1t IL Absolutely Insignificant When
Compared with the Saving
They Always Eject

One of the common leaks upon the
farm is in stacking hay, as often a large
part of the crop is left out for months.
II the work is poorly done great loss
and damage is the result, however good
the quality of the hay may have been
when stacked. The cost Of building
suitable hay sheds in addition to the
NOW room of the barn need not be
great. A shed 20 by 80 feet and IA feet
to the caves can be erected at slight
cost. Several years ago built such
one, setting the posts on rock and spik-
ing stringers and plates to the posts,
using six-inch bolts which 1 bought
and had blacksmith sharpen. Holes
should be bored in the stringers and
plates; then drive the bolts into the
posts solid. Such plan is much better
than to use spike nails. Any rough
lumber will do for siding, and the shed
should be covered with clapboards or
shingles. Have an opening at one end
for unloading hay. By building the
shed larger and higher one could put in
q carrier and hay fork. Place the
lower stringers two feet from the
ground and q scantling 18 inches above
It; then after your siding is on go round
and saw holes out Of it two feet wide,
which will make them 1s inches high; /;
saw holes every three feet. This makes
a capital place to feed cattle. and they
will waste scarcely any hay. A low
shed built around three sides of the hay
shed will make a good protection fol
cattle, siding up the west and north
sides. Cattle will do In such quarters
almost as well as In expensive barns
By building the corncrib near the shed
and feeding corn once day cattle will
winter finely, and for quite while car
reach hay for themselves, and when i
gets beyond them push 1t down from
the top all round and you have a good
manger. This way is not perfect, o
course, but 1t has the merit of cheap
ness and efficiency, and is very salts
factory way to feed hay, as have trie'
1t for years. This plan Of feeding /
intended for cattle from two to tire
years old.-Prairie Farmer.

MILK cows CLEAN.
By, No Other Method Gan Ali the But
ter Fat Con tadned In the MIX
BE Obtained.

It Is a well-known tact that COWS not
milked clean will tend to dry up In short
order. Another important reason for
milked clean will tend to dry up in short
fat, which is contained in much larger
per cent. in the last than in the first
milk drawn. as is shown by the follow
ing experiment:
The Kansas state college dairy has
conducted an experiment showing the
importance of clean milking. Five cows
that were giving fair quantity of milk
were selected, and their milk collected
In half-pint bottles, each teat contrib
uting it's share to every bottle. These
samples were tested with the Babcock
test, with the following results:
Cow No. varied from 6 of 1 per cent.
to 7.2 per cent.
Cow No. 10 varied from 2 Of per cent
to 6.6 per cent.
Cow No. IA varied from 1.6 per cent
to 5.s per cent.
Cow No. Is varied from Is per cent
to 6.s per cent.
Cow No. 20 varied from 8 of per cent
to 7.s per cent.
The results show gradual, although
not entirely uniform, increase in th'
per cent. of fat from the beginning t.
the last of the milking, except with thu
last two samples drawn from each COW
Here the per cent. of fat would take
sudden leap, amounting often to I
third or a half of the total variation
This shows very clearly how importan
it Is to get all the milk. By averaging
the results it was found that the las
quarter of pint was worth from three
fourths to one and half pints of mill
first drawn from the udder. Moral
