The Disabled Cannon.

The gun disabled by the British at
Lombardskop was one OF the few
large pieces of artillery possessed by
the Beers. 1t is exactly similar to
the famous guns mounted in the
latest Japanese ironclads.
A rather strange story attaches to
the purchase of this gun, with its
companions. In 1896 the British
Government obtained secret informa-
tion that made it evident that the
Beers Of the South African Republic
were engaged in plot with the OBJ
iect of seizing Delagoa Bay, either by
purchase from Portugal or by force.
Great Britain has the right of pre-
emption over Delago Bay, and as
soon as the intention of the Beers was
known large British fleet was col
lected outside Lorenzo Marques. The
Beers, finding their arrangements dis
covered, gave up for the time their
cherished ambition Of obtaining a
port.
But so sure were the authorities of
the Trausvaal at one time of being
able to secure Delagoa Bay that they
ordered the guns to protect it, pre-
sumably against the British warships.
These guns were manufactured in
France, and were taken into the
rransvaal mai, ked machinery, with
care," by the Netherlands Railway,
which is strongly pro-Boer in SYM
pathies.
When the original purpose for the
guns was impossible of accomplish
ment, the Beers mounted them out
side Johannesburg and some time ago
sent them from there to Natal. They
formed the greater part of the strength
of the artillery, which had been wor-
rying the garrison at Ladysmith, be-
ing mounted about four miles to the
east of the town. New York Times.

Five of the elephants attached to the

been hobbled for the night at Dart

window in the shop front and eaten all
the bread and pastry they could find

the windows of the conservatory, de-
stroying a quantity of valuable flowers
ana eating big lot of vegetables.

Fighting n Shark.

A lively experience with a twelve
foot striped shark came to Boatmen
Harry johnson and Bob Barnard, re-
lates the San Francisco Chronicle.
Tney were fishing between Mission
Rock and Goat Island when they saw
the shark. II followed them persist
emily and once when 1t came boldly
up to the boat the boatmen set upon 1t
with oars, stretcher and gaff. A blow
from the big brute's tail came near
capsizing the Whitehall. Barnard
barely escaped being drawn into the
sea through sinking the gaff into the
body of the shark. which set off at a
terrible speed, pulling the boat after
him. II was so weak from the blows
and from loss of blood that II was
finally conquered. In the fight the
boatmen broke one oar and n stretcher.

FACTS ABOUT AMERICAN CITIES
Some Data Regarding Health, Popuia-
tion and Other Conditions.

Anticipating the work of the census
takers and acting on instructions from
congress, the department of labor at
Washington has issued statistics relat-
ing to all the cities in the United
States of a population of $1,000 or
more. II was found that there were
1l0 such cities and the statistics col
iccted throw much interesting light on
their status and development. The
Oldest city in the United States is AL
bany, N. Y, which was incorporated
in 1856, Philadelphia dating fifteen
years later New York, Chicago and
Philadelphia are the only American
cities whose population runs into the
millions. Some odd contrasts are
presented in the tables which give the
area covered by the different cities. 1t
appears that Taunton, Mass, occupies
territory greater than that of either
Boston or Baltimore. New Orleans, a
city of 2S5,000 inhabitants, covers 1885,
600 acres, while Newark, N. j., with q
population of about the same size, oc-
cupies less than 10000 acres. One ex-
poets to find the manufacturing dis.
tricts of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
and Illinois closely packed, but 1t is
surprising to notice that Richmond,
Va, covers only 6.520 acres and Louis
vile, KY, 12,S00 acres, as compared
with Duluth, Mimi, and Des Moines.
Iowa, which, with much smaller popu-
lations in each case. covers respective
ly 40,96O and S4,560 acres. The health
statistics show that Mckocsport, Pa,
is perhaps the healthiest city in this
country. It's rate of deaths from con-
sumption is only 1.09 per thousand. as
compared with IL in Boston and New
York and 20 in Denver. Col. due, OF
course, to the fact that consumptivos
resort to Denver from all paris of the
country. The rate of 1850 deaths per
thousand from old age considerably
the highest on the list) is accredited to
Salt Lake city, condition to account
brought forward. In Pittsburg and
Chicago deaths from old age are only
per thousand. At time when the
extension of municipal functions is
occupying public attention II Is in
teresting to note the figures which re-
late to city ownership. Ninety-six
cities own their water supply. among
the exceptions being indianapolis, New
Haven. New Orleans and San Francis
co. Four have municipal gas works
Duluth. Richmond. Toledo and Wheel
ing-and thirteen own and operate
electric light plants.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
! FARM TOPICS
ooooccccCCCCC'
Good and Bad Seasons.

Good and bad seasons are much
more subject to control than the aver
age farmer thinks. Certainly too
much thawing and freezing in the
spring, or plant willing due to pro-
tracted droutn or continued hot dry
winds, are beyond the remedy of man
but it frequently happens that bad
seasons" are free of these especial
damages, and are bad seasons only
because crop yiolds are light, though
the tillage and planting methods have
been quito the same as have in other
years produced bountiful crops. Good
and bad seasons will be found largely
a matter of plant feeding; II the till
age has been good the previous year
and the winter more or less open the
soluble plant food in the soil will be
we'll leached out in the spring, and
the crop has a continual uphill fight
for food. The remedy is simple
fertilizers in the spring for the sum-
mer crop, and grow a crop cover in
the fall that the soil be not left bare
during the winter.

A Uniaue Manner of Doatb.

"I heard the following conundrum, +"
said q well-known lawyer the other
day, (Which struck mo as distinctly
clever: 'What character is there in
the Bible who possesses no name,
who suffered death in different form
from any inflicted before or since that
time, a portion of whose shroud is in
every household, and the cause of
whose death has been made famous
by modern author?' Give it up, ell
Well, the answer is, Lots wife. She
possesses no name; no one else met
death through being turned into a
pillar of salt; salt is in every house
hold, and Edward Bellamy wrote

are."

Watering Trouchs.

Tt is not every one who can easily
make arrangements for watering the
stock in the barn, but any one who is
not dependent upon q brook or pond
for watering their animals can plan to
keep them from the necessity Of
drinking ice water. If the trough is
in the yard it will cost but little to so
box it in around and beneath it rs to
prevent water from freezing in it ex-
cepting in the very coldest weather,
especially when tight-fitting double
cover is shut down over it. To pro-
vide for the coldest times there should
be chance to let the water off after
the cattle have finished drinking, rs
indeed should be done every night in
any case. The cattle like water fresh
from the well or spring every day bet
ter than stale water, just as you do.
There are also methods of heating
water in the trough for those who
care to be at the expense, either by n
steam pipe or by heating water to add
to it. The milch cows especially like
warm water up nearly to 100 degrees,
and it would pay to warm it for them.
though they will drink rs much as
they need at fifty degrees to sixty de-
grees, il they are not standing in a
cold wind or storm.

Roses ana yloists.

The scent of the sweetest rose be-
comes noxious and the humble violet
seems to be scowling up at you from
under its eyebrows when you know
that these flowers and their fellows are
indebted to the deadly microbes for
their colors and scents. The delicate
pink OF the Rothschild rose is com
posed of the bodies of thousands OF the
identical microbes which bring death
through consumption to so many of
our friends and relations. The violet
and pansy get their odor from the can
GER microbe. the tulip from the gout
germ. and the geranium from the scar
Leftover bacillus. Likewise, every
time you inhale the scent of any flower
you are in reality gulping down
mouthful after mouthful of some ter
rible disease. There is no way of dis
injecting flowers, as they are actually
composed of microbes, and If you take
the latter away no flower Is left.

'Fattening Swine.

The fattening process, during which
millions OF hogs are fed wholly upon
corn, is much less dangerous than
many think. An animal that has been
on pasture all summer, and has had a
due allowance of protein and ashy
concentrates, is fully prepared to un-
dergo the strain OF eating large guam
titles OF heating, fat-forming feed. Its
digestive tract is large, its muscle
firm and its bone strong. The sum-
mer treatment has fitted it for the
large consumption and ready diges-
ton of a one-sided food. and though
it is under an unnatural pressure and
in condition of disease during q
large portion Of the time-for excess
sive fat is disease-no harm will re-
suit, if all the other conditions are
right. Still it is wise to furnish some
protein food even during the fatten-
ing process. Fat formers are fever
breeders, and the temperature of the
fat hog is very high. Costiveness,
more or less marked, is q natural Sc
quence of feeding corn steadily. An
occasional feed of bran, oil meal,
ground oats, or steamed clover hay,
will, in some measure, counteract
these effects, and make the animal
more comfortable. The principal evil
consequences OF feeding corn to hogs
are not to be found in the fattening
hog. but in our breeders. Many OF
these are fed corn to an extent that
the result is litters that are constitu-
tionally weak and the ready victims OF

general use, since it is so constructed
as to keep corn perfectly. The in
sloping sides keep the rain from get
ting at the corn, though the sides are
of open slat work to let the air pass
through. Such a crib can be made of
any size desired. Some are not over
five feet wide at the floor. Windows
can be placed under the caves and the
corn turned in through them direct
from the wagon, but the most COM
mon plan is to have a door at one end,
and carry in the corn in baskets. II
is filed in solidly from the rear to the
door. A very large bin of this sort
has walk through the center, with
cribs on either side. The posts have
wide strips of tin about them to keep
nice from getting up to the corn.
