| w: w. Durham of this city intends
to experiment with the Belgian Hare.
He recently received three magnifi, en-,
animals from California, q buck and
two does, and will start rabhitry al
his home. In anticipation of the
arrival of the hares he has already
fixed up nice home for them in his
yard and the strangers will be we'll
taken care of. They do not appear to
mind the change from California to
Missouri and will no doubt soon be-
come acclimated. The animals purA
chased by Mr. Durham are of fine
breed ami are beautiful specimens of
their species.
Lately Belgian hares have become
all the rage in various sections OF this
country. They breed rapidly and
those who have raised them have
found them quite profitabl In ad-
dition to being raised for pets they
are also valued very highly for the
exquisite flavor of their meat. and
Belgian hare is considered quite a
delicacy in the flesh line.
Mr.. Durham has posted himself on
the subject and has spent some time
learning just h.w to treat the hares in
the matter of feed, etc. He expects,
with ordinary good luck to be able
very soon to raise all the meet he
peeds for his own use, and to have a
surplus at his disposal for the benefit
of those who enjoy dainty dish.

China Has Turned Against the Boxers.

The Chinese authorities are trying
to make peace with Christendom by
turning against the Boxers. The
Empress Dowager is taking no half
way measures against the rebels. At
least the imperial edicts, which have
an earnest ring. They no longer order
the dispersion Of the Boxers, but
command their determination.
This is the effect of a cablegram
received at the State Department from
Consul Fowler ut Che Foo. 1t says
both the civil and military officials of
the province of Chi Ii have been
directed to eXterminate the Boxers
