PEKIN MAY BE CAPTURED.
Austria Has Sucn Advices But None Are
Confirmed,

Confirmed.
London, Aug. 1s.-A cablegram from
Vienna to Hong Kong announces the
capture of Pekin, but the Austrian
government, like other European pow

this report. An official telegram dated
Taku, Aug. IA, has been received at
Rome, which asserts that the attack
on Pekin began Monday, that Sir
Claude Macdonald, the British minis
ter, had opened communication with
the relieving force and that the allies
have established their headquarters at
Tung Chau.

A HEALTHFUL FRUIT.
Opinion of the Grape as a Regular
Part of the Diet.

We have so many warnings against
eating uncooked fruit that it is a re-
lief to know that so palatable fruit
as the. grape is prescribed as especial
ly healthful and strengthening, says
the National Stockman. Eaten with
other suitable food in quantities from
one to two pounds daily, they increase
nutrition, promote secretion, improve
the action of the liver, kidneys and
bowels, and add to the health The
sugar of the grape requires no diges-
ton, but is taken almost at once into
the blood, where it renders up it's
force as required. Eaten moderately,
with suitable diet, they will not pro-
duce cathartic effects, but a more nat
ural action of the bowels, so they are
generally laxative. What more could
one ask of a fruit than that it should
be both luscious and health-giving?
There is one word of warning, though,
that we might offer: When the grapes
are procured from any place other
than from your own vines, they should
be carefully washed before eaten, for
the dust upon them not infrequently
carries with it impure and unheaIth-
full particles.
One VINO has experimental says that
borax will preserve grapes in their
natural state for many months, by
packing them in layers with a liberal
sprinkling of borax between. The
fruit should be well selected, perfect
and dry, and the borax must com
pletely cover each layer. It can be
used repeatedly for the same purpose,
after being spread and thoroughly
dried. This method is also recon-
mended for the preservation of cher
ries, currants, blueberries, gooseber-
ries, etc, none of which would be so
desirable preserved in their natural
state as grapes.
Those who know by experience of
the strengthening properties of
grape juice will not allow any of the
fruit to go to waste or be eaten by
poultry. Diluted with water, sweet
ened and iced, it has no equal as a
harvest drink.

he finds Yokuts and Paiutis, now hv-

Strange and peculiar people are the
remnants Of these two tribes as found
to-day on the Tule river reservation,
still chinging to many of their old hab-
it's, customs and super titions Walking
up the creek the other day I found a
number of their bird traps, left over
from lost year, and, therefore, in
dilapidated condition. But enough re-
manned to show how the birds were
shared. I got one of the Indians to
come to show me. A small level spot
is made, by building it up, if necessary.
by the side of an attractive piece of
water where doves, quail and such like
birds are in the habit of coming. Just
in the rear of this level spot of ground
willows are arched over so that man
can crawl underneath them and be per-
fectly hidden from view. Then, scat
tering a quantity of grain on the level
spot, the hidden Indian thrusts out
from his lair stick, on the end Of
which a string of gut or sinew is tied.
This string is looped and SO fastened
to the stick that its other end is in
the hand of the Indian. Now he waits,
as silently as only an Indian can. By
and by the birds. seeing the seed,
alight and begin to feed. One of them
places his foot in the loop. In a mo-
ment the watchful Indian draws the
string tight. The foot is imprisoned.
The bird fiutters, but cannot escape.
Soon it settles down. The other birds,
frightened away for a moment, see
ing their companion still at the feed
ing place, return. Another stick is
put out and another bird caught, and
once well started, the hunter draws
them in one by one at a satisfactory
rate of speed, and soon secures enough
for his family's table for week.
Their burying ground is the stran-
gest have seen in the state. The
graves are marked with crosses. but
each cross is perched up high on

KOCH INVESTIGATES MALARIA
Noted BacteriOIOgist Says Total Exc
tirpatiOn of Disease Is
Possible.

Prof. Robert Koch, the Berlin bacte-
biologist, who has been conducting SCI
entific Investigations in German col
onies for year past, has arrived at
Hong-Kong on his way home. He an
nounced to physicians there that he
had discovered means of preventing
the spread of malaria in malarial dis
tricts, and even stamping out the dis
ease itself. His experiments in this
line were conducted in New Guinea,
where a large number of natives die
yearly of malaria.
Dr. Koch's treatment consists in Civ
ing the patient medicine he has dis
covered, the chief ingredient of which
is quinine. This is for both curative
and preventive purposes. He also
found it necessary to expel the malari-
al parasites as well, chief among which
were mosquitoes. To accomplish this
most stringent efforts were necessary,
but reports received here do not give
details as to how it was accomplished.
DIR. Kock stated. however, that in his
opinion toAaI extirpation of malaria is
possible.
By adoption of his methods DIR. Koch
believes that every malarial district
may be absolutely purged of malaria.
In temperate climates it will be much
easier than il tropical. His investiga-
tions will be completed in his Berlin
laboratory.

Succession of vegetab1es.

Vegetables of which every garden
ought to furnish succession are rad
ish, lettuce, peas, string beans, beets,
cress and turnips. Every book that
was ever written on gardening has
advised Sowing for succession every
ten days or two weeks" yet only the
gardens managed by gardeners hired
specially to see to such things really
furnish such SUGGESTIONS. The farm
er, in particular, is apt to neglect
the garden, if he does not forget it
altogether, after the first sowing.
Perhaps it is a waste of time to ex-
hort him to care for the garden, but
considering the amount which the
garden contributes to the family Hv-
ing, it seems as though it should be
worthy of better treatment.

strtnnines Rich In Fat.

The Farmers Advocate (Canada1
saws: That there is a marked differ
ence in the quality of milk first drawn
from the cow, as compared with that
which comes away towards the finish,
was clearly shown by an experiment
carried out some time ago by we'll
known dairy expert. This gentleman
found that while the average per cent.
of butter fat in the first half pint of
milk withdrawn from a COW worked
out to only 1.32 per cent, the butter fat
in the strippings, or the last half pint,
amounted to over nine per cent. There
was hardly any difference in the per-
centage of the other solids present in
the last drawn milk.

PROFIT IN CALVES.
Rules for Taking care of vvinter-Bora
Animals That Have Always
Brought Good Luck.

Those who conduct winter dairying
on a truly profitable scale always have
portion of their herd coming new
mich early in the winter months. What
should be done with the resulting
calves that come to US in this incle-
ment season of the year? 1t is not wise
to kill them for their skins, which win
hardly pay for the labor expended in
removing the hides; neither is it ex-
pedlent to attempt to raise them neg
lectfully. The writer has universally
had good luck with winter-born
calves by adhering to the following
general plan:
Male calves not intended for raising,
either as steers or bulls, have profit
ably converted into veal There is new
er time when good veal calf will
not sell readily for cash or its equiva-
lent. Do not, however, let them suckle
the COWS, nor feed them on whole milk.
This way of making veal is never truly
profitable to dairyman. Feed on
SKINNED milk with the addition of
cooked corn meal or oil meal. If the
skinned milk is fed warm the animals
will relish it better and fatten enough
faster to amply pay for the trouble in
volved.
The place in which they are housed
will have much to do with a successful
result. This should always be apart
from the mich cows and where the
latter cannot see or hear them. The
calves quarters should be extra warm,
as the young creatures cannot stand
the same degree of cold that more ma
ture cattle can. A too cold apartment
is one reason why many make failure
with winter-born calves. Provide bed
dig literally and feed literally and reg
ularly.
Choice heifer calves not designed for
fattening but for raising into future
COWS, should be kept separate from
their veal brothers and sisters, with of
course less oleaginous and more nitro
genous food provided. Ones aim should
be to keep them in thrifty, growing
condition, which, by right manage
ment, can be as readily accomplished
in winter as in summer. Calves so
reared, when warm weather comes will
be in a position to go onto grass and de-
velop into fine thrifty yearlings

"I FIoHTs Nit sIGEL."

I met him again, he was trudging along,
His knapsack with chickens was swell
ing;
thought it no wrong,
From some secessionist's dwelling.
~'What regiments yours? and under what
flag
Do you hght?" said I, touching his shout
der;
Turning slowly around. he smilingly said
For the thought made him stronger and
holder:
81 fights NIT sigel.''
The next time I saw him his knapsack was
gone,
Shell, shrapnel and grape, and the swift
Rifle ball
Around him and DER him were kissing.
CHOW are you, my friend, and where have
And for what and for whom are you
fghting?"
He said, as shell from the enemy's gun
Sent his arm and his musket a 'kiting:"
81 fights nit Sigel."
And once more I saw him and knelt by his
side,
His Hfeblood was rapidly flowing;
4 whispered of home, wife, children and
friends,
The bright land to which he was going:
-"And have you no word for the dear ones
at home,
The wee one the father, or mother?"
-''Yaw! Yaw! said he, tell them! o!
tell them I fights
Poor fellow! he thought of no other

We scraped out grave and he dreamlessly
sleeps
On the banks of the Shenandoah river;
His home and his kindred alike are un-
known,
His reward in the hands of the Giver.
We placed a rough board at the head of
his grave,
"And we left him alone in his glory"
But on it we marked, ere, we turned from

EXCHANGE OF FAVORS.
When Federal and Confederate Pick
cts Held Enjoyable Social
Intercourse.

The pickets of the two armies were
on the dark rivers banks. In some
places they were not so far apart that
they could not, with comfort, carry
on conversation in an ordinary tone.
For few days they, the pickets and
armies, had a quiet, comfortable time.
There was no firing in any portion of
the long line. Bands played for each
other. The inspiring strains of ':Co-
Iumbia, the Gem of the Ocean," eyes,
We Are Coming, Father Abraham"
and yankee Doodle" were heard each
evening on the heights of Stafford,
