down in few minutes until it poured

And it was ''hot stuff in the fullest

every description of iron work, and it
was an interesting sight to STE
those various moulds poured full
of the hot, seething metal as dextrously

Breadstutfs Consumption.

The Modern Miller has several times
commented upon the extraordinary con-
SUMPTION of breadstuffs this season, as
indicated by the decreases or the COM
paratively small increases i'll the visible
supplies, and actual facts and figures have
been submitted to prove the correctness
of the conclusions arrived at, says that
paper. Nowhere has this great consump-
ton and loss of supplies been more re-
markable than in the European require
ments and supplies. Here are some fig
ures that clearly prove how much greater
has been the amount of wheat and flour
that has gone out of sight this season
than duriug several successive seasons
since 1898 and 1897, when European sup
plies ran so low as to excite demand
upon exporting countries unprecedented
up to that time:
The amount of wheat and flour on
ocean passage at its maximum this sea-
son was on August IT, when the total
aAoat for the United Kingdom and the
continent was Al, 200 900 bushels. Since
then, or for the ten weeks ending Octo-
Der I9, the shipments by the principal
exporting countries amoudted to 50, Ioo.-
600 bushels-the largest emount set afloat
during that period since 1897 and within
100000 bushels of the total then. Yet,
with over $4,000, 900 bushels added to the
4I,2oo,ooo bushels on ocean passage ten
weeks ago, the amount afloat decreased
100000 bushels. During the same
period last year 90 Soo,ooo bushels we're
shipped and the amount ahoat decreased
less that 1000, 900 bushels; in 1899 the de-
crease was $500, 600 bushels, with II $780,
600 bushels shipped; in 1898 there was
2,Soo,ooo bushels increase, with IS,
900 bushels shipped; and in 1897, with
shipments of Se,Ioo,ooo bushels, there
was an increase aaoat of over 10. 500. 1000
bushels.

) The uperintendent of the New

mended that all his teachers wear
short skirts the year around, on ac-
count of the hygienic effect upon the
scholars. The authorities of Ell Paso,
Tex have gone step farther, and
prohibited the admiss sion of teachers
to their public schools in skirts that
touch the floor. An excellent remark
in the same direction is contained in

The oldest departure in farming
operations that has come to notice
.,. -, :, lately is reported
by a Parkersburg
Eiepnsn'' wv. Va.) CORE
spondent of the Baltimore Sun, who
says THAI James Cahill of Roney's
Point, is the only person in West Vir-
ginia, and probably in the United
States, who has in regular use upon
his farm an elephant which is used
for farm work. With the swaying
beast hitched up to pillow he can
turn more ground than any of his
neighbors with team of horses, and
when it comes to hauling logs, the
elephant VIII walk away with ease
with logs which the best teams of his
neighbors cannot move. The ele-
plant eats little more than horse
and does many times the work of
one, is gentle and docile and little
trouble and Mr.. Cahill is more than
pleased with his experiment. Sever
al months ago small circus broke
up at Martins Ferry, and it's prop
erty was sold at auction. Mr.. Cahill,
who was at the sale, bid in few
donkeys, the elephant and tent, and
took them home, expecting to start
a small show himself. His father,
Patrick Cahill, frugal Irishman, de-
cided that beast of the size of an
elephant could not remain on the
farm and be fed unless it paid for its
board with labor, so he harnessed it
up, and the animal worked nicely
He did so we'll that they have given
up the idea of starting a circus, and
will keep the elephant on the farm.

Peking, April 7.-Mr. Rockhill, United States
Special Commissioner in Pekng, had long in

who is seventy years Of age. To this the min
tsters have agreed.
Ii Hung Chang says the court is extremely
anxious to return to Picking as soon as the for
eign troops evacuate the pital.
Some of the ministers Of the powers begin to
think that so large force two thousand
troops acting legation guards in the city
proper would be a great mistake Such a body
would have to remain in a space of one square
mile. The troops could not be allowed outside
the legation quarter armed, and ii would prob
ably not be safe for them 10 go unarmed.
It is thought by some of the ministers that,
If the encampment were made from twelve to
fifteen miles away. with the necessary stores,
this arrangement would be much preferable as a
telegram could bring the troops into the city i'm
mediately.
Moreover. several ministers have been insulted
