Homestead Land Company Organized.
The Homestead Land Company of Wis
consin was organized in Appleton, and
has already received the support of
number of the leading business men and
citizens. The object of forming the new
company is to induce desirable settlers
from Sweden and Norway to enaigrate to
this country and settle on farm lands in
northern Wisconsin from which the tim
Der has been cut and which has remained
unused since the loggers have stripped it
of all the pine. The plan which will be
put in practice is to secure options on
large tracts of these lands and sell them
through agencies established in the more
important cities of Scandinavia. A small
commission per acre will be charged,
from which the promoters of the deal ex-
pect to realize a handsome profit, as the
number of emigrants who will go into the
deal is said to be large.

transmitting a cipher dispatch to the
State Department from Minister Conger.
When Translator it read:
'In British legation under continuous
shot and she'll from Chinese troops. Quick
relief alone can prevent general massa-
cre"
For three days Europe challenged the
authenticity of the Conger dispatch, still
adhering to the belief that all foreigners
had persisted on July g. Then, on July
"a, the foreign office at London received
a dispatch from the British consul at
Tien-tsin, dated July 81, stating that g.
letter had been received from Sir Claude
Macdonald, dated at Pekin July 4, and
appealing for speedy relief. Sir Claude
Macdonald said the garrison was unequal
to the task of holding out many days and
that already fortyfour had been killed
and double that number wounded.
On July % the Navy Department re-
ceived from Captain Thomas command
ing the cruiser Brooklyn at Chefoo, a
message from Minister Conger dated July

From this date messages were received
at frequent intervals from several for
eign ministers. One was received in Lon
don on July 80 from Sir Claude Macdon-
aid. stating that the European forces in
Pekin had repulsed the attacks of the
Chinese troops from June 20 to July 10,
but on the latter date an armistice had
been declared. This message was dated
at Pekin, July 81. On the same date
Lieut.. Col. Shaba, in command of the
Japanese guard, wrote that the Chinese
attack began on June 20 and that an ar
mistice had been agreed to on July IL.
Fighting Around Tien-tsin.
There had been almost continuous fight
ing in the vicinity of Tien-tsin between
the allied forces and the Chinese troops
since June 81. On that date the Chinese
attacked the allies. Maj. Waller, with
the American marines and 440 Russians,
was ambushed three miles from the city

about $4,000, while it was estimated that
$4,000 Chinese troops were brought into

Cranberry Growers Meet.

The fourteenth annual convention of
the Wisconsin State Cranberry Growers
Association was held at Gaynor Bros.
marsh, Cranmoor. The entire morning
was occupied in looking over the extern

were also the object Of interest. In the
afternoon the usual business meeting was
called to order by President Briere, who
delivered his annual address. This was
followed by the report Of the statistician,
and from the information submitted it
was the consensus of opinion that assum-
ing ordinary conditions to prevail the bal

would be two-thirds of last year, that Of
New Jersey about the same and the Wis

Princes Never Bathed.

In earlier days princes. were consid-
cred SO precious that they were not
permitted the ordinary pleasures of
childhood. So fearful were their
guardians that something harmful
would happen to them that the poor
little folk were not even given a bath
until they were several years old. In a
quaint sketch of the childhod of Louis
XIII, of France, his tutor writes, un-
der the date of August, 1908: %'sThe
dauphin was bathed for the first time,
put into the bath, and madame his
sister, aged six, with him. The dau-
phin was seven years old at the time
In his foustt

was six they washed his feet in tepid
water in the queens basin for the first
time" - . ~
Royal children of today are bathed
as, much as if they were only ordinary
well-to do young folk, and their royal
fathers and mothers make them work
harder at their studies than children
usually have to. It is also quite the
thing for princes or princesses to learn
a. trade or profession, so that many of
them are doctors, nurses, mechanics,
cooks, lawyers, dressmakers and. So

Eggs Without Shells.

1n the report of the trade of Italy
for the years 1898 and 1899, by Sir
George Bonham, secretary to her ma
jesty's embassy at Rome, there is an
interesting paragraph describing the
system adopted for the expectation Of
eggs to England for pastry. The shell
is removed, and the interior Of the
egg-white and yolk together--is pack
ed in air-tight vessels or drums con-
tanning each 1000 eggs. Great care is
taken to ensure the eggs being fresh,
and to exclude the air.. as one bad egg
spoils all the remainder, and renders
the consignment unstable. The new
system has the advantage of removing
the risk Of breakage, and is also pre-
ferred by the pastry cook for whose
use they are intended. AS to the ex-
tent of the trade in eggs, the report
mentions that in 1897 Russia exported
to England over 354 ,O0O, 00O.-Mark

Officers and cowboys from central
and southern Arizona have formed the
largest posse that has ever engaged in
a man-hunt in the southwest and are
securing the deserts and mountain
strong ngholds. in an effort to run down
the most bloodthirsty gang Of stage
Eobbers ever known in Arizona. The
hunted men are four Mexicans who ten
years ago came into Arizona in great
disorder from Chihuahua; Mexico,
when, the gang consisted of nine mem
bers, each with a remarkable criminal
record. The daredevil combination
terrorized certain sections of Mexico
for years, and until a whole company

In their last rampage they cut a wide

Three weeks ago they raided a gam

the games of several thousand dollars.
On their Indian ponies they covered
distance of 200 miles to the Jerome
mining camp in northern Arizona.
Their coming was reported, and they
were prevented from swooping down
on the gambling houses of that place,
but to compensate for the long jour
ney they held up a miner and robbed
him Of $500 and escaped to the Weaver
district, $50 miles distant, where a
white mans life is insecure. AS they
started over the Grown Point noun

tor named '.Bill'' Rice, who had lived

80 In the Superstition Mountains.
When the nine Chihuahua refugees
were driven from Mexico they went in
to- the Superstition mountains in the
Apache country of eastern Arizona.
They were unable to make friends with
the Indians, but rendezvoused near the
haunt of "Bear" Reavis, an old recluse
who had lived alone in the Supersti-
tion mountains for several decades and
ever since he was Tilted by sweet
heart in st. Louis and decided to lead
a life of hermitage He lived in cave
which was festooned with the scalps Of
over a score Of Indians who had at
tempted to raid his lonely place of re-
tirement. He was a sure shot and sell

when in rifle range. He boasted that
he had never lost sight Of an opportu
nifty to take the life of an Apache and
his success against rowing bands OF
redskins, his phenomenal skill with a
rife and the marvellous luck which re-
peatedly saved him from the arrows Of
the Apaches united to strike terror to
the hearts of the redskins. Eventually
they came to look upon Reavis as a SUI
pernatural being. They did not ven
ture into the mountains within several
miles of the hermit's cave, and the
name Superstition" was applied to
the lonely range of mountains inhabit-
ed BY no one but Reavis. =. ~

white race as he was in the extermin-

the Mexicans were content to find a
stronghold in the mountains near him
where they were, safe, not only from
vigilantes, but from the Apaches. The
leader Of the bandit gang, who is SILL
heading the survivors, is Juan Chaco1,
commonly called 'Pelelo,'' y which, ac-
cording to Mexican palaver, indicates
a creature to be despised and feared.

ing his head well shaved and his pig

must not be forgotten. Until 1927 the
Chinese wore their hair long and coiled

fastened with an ornamental pin. But
the Manchu edict making the pigtail a
sign of loyalty changed this style, and

There are few bearded men in China.
Men who have grandchildren may wear
a mustache, and many take advantage
of the privilege and are called "old hair

when they came to China, excited much
curiosity, and the unusual sight justi-
fed them in asking the ages of the
bearded men. -.

in China have written much, is not Of
the kind that could ever become popu-

kinds of meat are used, but pork is the
