science Of refrigeration and the con-
struction OF refrigerator ships and r$
frigerator cars has reached such high
state that II is now possible to raise
fruit. IL might be said, in almost any
part of the world, and carry II 10 any

years demonstrated by the shipment or
carcasses from Australia TO England by
the shipload. where an enormous trade
has been built mp. The same principle
can be applied TO the transportation or

product of California Is now shipped
eastward in refrigerator cars, and some

schemes read well. and apparently are
well based. There appears to be no
reason why garden truck could not be

States. A great many products there

How kafflrs Bank Their Money.

The natives Of that part Of South
Africa which to great extent Is in
habited by Bushnen and Hottentots
have a peculiar system Of banks and
banking.
These KafIirs, among whom this
curious system Of banking obtains,
live near Kaffraria, in the south Of the
Colony country. The natives come
down from their country to trade
in the several villages and towns in
large numbers, stay with the Beers for
n time, then return to Kaffraria.
Their banking facilities are very
primitive, and consist entirely Of banks
Of deposit alone, without banks Of dis
count or issue, and they have no
checks. But still they enjoy banking
privileges, such as they are.
From those who trade, of their own
number, they select one, who for the
occasion Is to be their banker, He Is
converted into a bank of deposit by
putting all the money Of those whose
banker he Is into bag, and then they
sally forth to the stores to buy what
ever tneY want.
When an article is purchased by any
of those who are in this banking ar
rangement the price Of the article is
taken by the banker from the deposit
money bag, counted several times and
then paid to the seller Of the article,
after which all the bank deposltors
cry out to the banker in the presence
of two witnesses selected:
"You owe me so much!' This is then
repeated by the witnesses. The gen.
eral accounting comes between the
banker and his several depositors,
when all desired purchases have been
made. after which all the natives de-
part for their northern wilds-Tit-B Bits.

Tho Preservation of Milk.

Interesting experiments have beef
conducted at the agricultural expert
ment stations throughout the country
to determine the effect of pressure in
;he preservation of milk. Samples
Of milk used in the tests were in
closed in collapsible tin tubes and
placed in hollow steel cylinders. The
space surrounding the tubes was
filled with water. The cylinders were
fitted with pistons, to which hydraulic
pressure was applied. Several hun
dred samples of milk wsrs subjected
to pressure ranging from 500 pounds
per square inch upward, and COM
pared with the samples receiving
similar treatment except pressure it
was found that milk subjected to a
pressure of ten to fifteen pounds for
as many days was sweet at the end of
The tests. The souring of milk was
not materially delayed by pressure
much lower than this. Pressure of
thirty tons for one hour delayed
souring for upwards of twenty-four
as compared with the check samples.
Pressules of seventy-fve to ninety
tons for several minutes to one hour
kept the milk sweet from two to sever.

Caring For Poultry.

While the animals on a farm have,
suitable arrangements in buildings
and pastures and are carefully looked
after until the stable and barn doors
are fastened for the night, the poul-
try are usually expected to find their
own quarters and perform for them.
selves Fart of the necessary work
required i'll their management. To be,
compelled to hunt for their nests, or
have the hens laying in the feed
rroughs, is an indication that some
thing is lacking on the part of the
farmer in the interest he takes in his
feathered friends, and also that he
has not provided all the conveniences
for the hens to which they are enti-
tied as producers on the farm of a
saiable article.
All kinds of poultry fill place,
each according to his purpose, on the
farm, and true economy is that which
will enable hem to give the best re.
suits. When hens are kept for the
purpose of laying large number OF
eggs, and fail to perform what is ex-
pected of them, there is liability that
some mistake has been made in theiI
management, and that they are not
kept under those conditions which
assist them in complying with the de-
sires of their owner. If they are cast
aside to serve themselves, and are al
lowed to go beyond their bounds,
they are then obstacles and nuisances
instead of being beneficial. When q
lock is kept for profit it should be
properly supplied with all that it de-
mands, if it is possible to do SO.
The arrangements of the grounds and
quarters are to be considered first,
not only because the fowls will receive
benefit, but because by so doing the
work will be done more systematically
md carefully.-Farm, Field and Fire

Bill.
SENATE.

Seventy-second Day.-Two argu-
nents were presented to the Senate in
which almost antipodal positions were
taken by two Senators. Mr.. Teller, Of
Colorado, in brief speech maintained
that the constitution could not extend
over territory acquired by the United
States, while Mr.. Turner, Of Washing
ton, deliberately commended that the
constitution embraced the acquired
territory the very moment the United
States took permanent possession
of it.
Seventy-third Day-Mr Hoar adj

appropriation bill. He announced his
Willingness to let the appropria tom bill

took occasion to repeat his views on
the general question of expan sion. Il
have not" he said changed OR modi-
fed my FORMER opinions" and he pro-
ceeded to say THAT his study during the
last IL months of the situation in the
Philippines had only served to con-
vince him that he had been right in his
original position. He had read with
great interest the State papers OF the
leaders Of the Philippine revolt, and
had found them to be modest, tenn
perate and eloquent appeals to the love
of Justice Uf the people of the United

THAT in time these appeals would make

pending bill and against any PROPOSE
ton that MAY involve debate.
Before the discussion 81 THE pending
bill had fbeen concluded MIR. Yelling
ton, Maryland, called up the resolution
to seat Mr.. Quay. He presented am
elaborate argument against THE seat
ing of Mr.. Quay. He held that as the
legislature of Pennsylvania had en-
deavored to fill the Vacancy by taking
many ballots, the governor was es-
topped from making amy appointment
The governor ought to have called an

MORE RELIGION IN POLITICS.
Rev. Jonathan s. Willis Gives Stirring
Sermon in Wilmington.

Rev. Jonathan S. Willis of Milford,
preached at Goodman Church, Will
mington, Sunday. In the evening he
talked of Noah, Daniel and Job. "The
people of to-day" he said, ''laugh and
sneer every time they hear of relig-
iOus man taking an active part in poll
tics. If it was not for the religious
people in politics, things would soon
go to ruin in this country. The men
whom the people want to see in politics
are those who can sneer aloud, can in
dulge in election frauds, and steal
large sums of money. We have an ex
ample of that in the United States Sen
ate tO-day-a man who paid thousands
of dollars to go there Men like Will
liam Mckinley, who fear God, are the
proper persons to be in politics.
"Right here in Wilmington we have
some of the most contemplate and
liver hearted politicians in the country.
They are stealing the peoples money
and it can be proven. Even the penny
newspapers take sides with them.
Bank cashiers rob the banks; State
treasurers rob the State and Levy
