Governor Tyler, who went to Pulaski

In this connection, it may be interesting
to note that for the last fiscal year the

shakes the tree fer Virginia. 1t is further
stated that the President was much inn

when the judsship contest was going on,

Duck Farming in Australia.

Although the raising of ducks in
Australia is a comparatively young
industry, it has already assumed con-
siderable Importance. One of the big
gest farms has $4,000 ducks of various
species. The establishment in ques-
ton is near Sydney. 1t covers an area
of eight acres, and is divided into
fifteen Enclosures, in each of which a
special breed is kept. The females are
the object of particular care. Their
eggs are Matched in incubators, of
which there are thirty. capable of
holding from $500 to 5000 eggs. The
proportion of eggs which produce
chickens is sixty-five per cent.
The brakes, which as a rule cannot
be advantageously exported, are sold
in the local markets. The ducks, on
the contrary, particularly those of the
Aylesbury breed, which grow almost
to the size of geese, are killed, put in
refrigerators and sent to the British
market. Some of the steamers en-
ployed in this trade carry cargoes of
from $4,000 to 10000. In New South
Wales alone there are now hundreds
of duck farms where some $4,000 are
raised.

According to the laws Of the king
dom, there are two prisons, one in the
north, the other in the south. Those
who have committed trifling faults
are sent to the latter, those guilty Of
graver crimes to the former. The male
and female prisoners are allowed to
marry each other, and their children
are sold as slaves. When a man Of
superior rank commits a crime the
people assemble in great numbers, seat
themselves opposite the offender, par
take Of a banquet, and take leave of
the condemned person as Of one who
is about to die. Cinders are then
heaped about the doomed man. For
slight faults the criminal alone is pun
ished, but for a serious crime his chill
dren and grandchildren suffer with
him, and in some extraordinary cases
his sin is visited upon his descendants
to the seventh generation.

the People of Malta.
The month of September is full oil
anniversaries of great interest to the
people of Malta. On Sept. 8, 1865, the
great siege of Malta was raised, when,
the Turks being completely repulsed,
Europe was saved from the common
enemy. The third or fourth Sunday
of the month is always made fete
In honor Of Roger Of Normandy, who
liberated the islanders from the Sar-
carens in 1890, History and the exig-
encies of an isolated position have ac-
customed Malta to invasion. OF all
the enemies that have overrun the is
land time after time one horde only
was dismissed once never to return.
1t was just ten years ago on the 4th
Of this month that the garrison sur
rendered to the British after the IA
nous blockade that lasted two years.
Like Ireland, Malta has no vipers, and
like the green isle, the flower of the
world, as the Maltese call their home,
owes its immunity to its patron saint.
Malta is the island Of st. Paul. The
inhabitants delight in pointing out the
spot where the saint landed, the grot-
to where he was imprisoned and the
exact place where, shaking the viper
from his hand into the fire he took
no hurt. He then cursed all venom
GUS animals out of the land.

far above gold and silver and all pre-
cious stones-further indicates that ii
was not native product, but rarity
from some foreign country.
Second-The ancient Chinese were
IS fearless seamen as the Norsemen.
II is well known fact that the mar
tner's compass is of Chinese origin.
Time and again Chinese junks have
been found stranded on the shores Of
Alaska, British Columbia and as far
south as Oregon. This proves the sea-
worthiness Of their craft.
Third-The great oceanic current
which flows northward up the eastern
coast Of China passes along the south
ern edge of the Aleutian Islands chain
and then sweeps down to the south
again, past the shores of Alaska, Brit
lsh Columbia and California. Every
thing set adrift or dropped overheard
on the coast of China comes to Ameri-
ca by this route.
Fourth-Pictures of old matched
rooted shelters in Oaxaca are striking
ly similar to the matched roofs of the
Chinese. The peculiar rain coats worn
by the old Mexican porters are almost
precisely like the rain coats Of the
Chinese.

The Unspeakab1e Turk.

A Turk thinks 1t the most natural
thing in the world to lose a province,
and, having lost it, to quit and live
elsewhere. He talks quite complacent-
ly Of leaving Constantinople some day;
he will go over to Asia and found an
other capital. He originates nothing;
he takes what he finds without assim-
Hating it, and remains profoundly
cupation except ruins. Practically
there is nothing at Belgrade, Sofa and
Athens to show that for centuries they
were Turkish cities.
All occupations, except agriculture
and military service, are distasteful to
him. Yet there are two other charac-
teristics even more important than
these. The first is his sense of disci-
pline. 1t is this which keeps together
the apparently tottering fabric of the
Turkish empire. 1t makes the half
fed, half-clothed soldier ready to en-
dure every privation. and prevents the
corruption and incapaclty or the OIL
GERS from producing the anarchy
which would be inevitable in any
other country. Sedition Is unknown;
even complaints are rare, and were a
holy war proclaimed there is not a
man WHO would not be prepared to die
In defense of the system Of extortion
which grinds him down.
His second characteristic is his lazi-
ness, in spite Of the laborious industry
Of the Turkish peasant. The fact is
that the Turk is too proud to do many
things, too stupid to do others. His re-
ligion inculcates a fatalism which
tends to conviction that effort is USE
less.-London Telegraph.
