weather in the fall drove the summer cot
tagers to this city.


Amount and Condition OF Estate.
After the death OF Philip d, Armour, jr,
the vast interests of Armour G. Co., which
had been carried on as co-partnerBhip,
were incorporated under the old name II
Armour G. Co. This was to provide greater
stability in case of death and made no
change in the practical ownership of prop
critics Some years before the grain de-
partment had been incorporated under the
title of the Armour Elevating company.
The death of Simeon d. Armour at Kansas
City in March, 1899, caused no particular
change in the Armour interests there, as
they were operated as a stock company.
SO carefully had the plans for the future
been made that the death of Mr.. Armour
will have little effect or the outward work
ing of the great enterprise with which he
had been so closely identified. II is be-
lieved all the Armour properties will be
held intact until the grandchildren come
into their own.
Estimates of Mr.. Armours own estate
run from $l0,000,000 to S25 900, 900. This
of course does not include the $l5,0OO,OOO
or $40 600 900 owned by the younger mem
bers of the family. For years every enter
prise he was Interested in has been making
immense profits. His holdings OF stock
have all advanced largely during the last
three years.
Philip d. Armour, who was in his 69th
year, made his own life on lines unique
and wholly original with himself I From
not over-rch Oneida county New York;
farm to the position of paying more freight
and controlling more provisions than any
other man In the world, were the two ex-
tremes OF his life.
The ancestral Armours were Connecticut
people, but Philip Armour was not born
until after the family had moved to Stock
bridge, Oneida county, n. Y His birth date
was May 16, 1882.
Was One of the 4gcrs.
The California gold fever struck western
New York in 1s49 and young Armour was
the first in Stockbridge to determine to
visit the Pacific coast, He secured the
permission of his parents and at the age
Of II started, having three or four COM
| panions from the same neighborhood. The
| almost incredible part of 1t was that the
party walked nearly the entire distance
from New York to California,
The commercial sense which always pre-
dominated In his life indicated its presence
as soon as he saw the goldfelds of Califor-
MIA. He made money from the start and al
the end of six years he returned home
| with a fortune. Becoming dissatisfied with
the quiet life of his native town he came
west again and together with brother
n-law established large wholesale gro
Gerry house in Milwaukee,. This venture
was also successful and in years tiIae hC
purchased the largest grain elevator il
Milwaukee. This led to more elevators ant
railroad stock. In 1866 he came TO Chit
cago to take charge OF the Chicago brancl
OF a New York packing establishment. Tn,
result was that the chicako house ceased

THE DEER'S HORNS.
They Present all the Phenomena of
Animal and Vegetable Growth.

They Present all the Phenomena of
Animal and Vegetable Growth.
Why and how is the deer so peculiar
ly unlike any other of the bovine race,
the horn differing so materially from
all the horned cattle in it's composition,
growth, maturity and decline? 1t pre-
sents all the phenomena of animal and
vegetable growth. 1t sprouts from the
brain without any prolongation of the
frontal bone. 1t rises and breaks
through the sinews and takes root on
the bone, growing the same as a vege-
table. 1t is nourished by and secretes
albumen upon the surface and disposes
of the fibrine the same as an animal.
1t is clothed with a skin and hairy
coat very different from that on the
rest of the body. This covering and
other animal bodies-that of being a
styptic to stanch its own blood when
wounded. 1t carries marks of the age
on the buck by putting out an extra
branch each year, which shows an ad-
ditional power each year to produce
them. And this power does not exist
in the female. So this difference is
more distinctly marked than in any
other class of animals Again, the horn
possesses properties unknown in any
other animal matter. 1t is entirely in
odorous, capable Of resisting putrefac-
ton and almost impervious to the eff
fects of the atmosphere.
And still water at 300 degrees f. will
dissolve these horns readily, even
though they are not soluble in alcohol
and resist the action of acids and aka
lies. 1t is the only vegeto animal sub
stance that we know of that does not
perpetuate itself by procreation.
The male and the female are sustain
ed by the same nutrition and elements,
and the male only produces horns. This
phenomenon is quite as much of a curl
osity as the absence of the horn in the
buck after shedding.

ROguish Ravens.

The raven of southern Europe is a
bold fellow-not unlike his cousin, the
crow. Some notices of the bird, given
by an English traveller in Corsica, offer
amusing proof of this.
A youth whom | employed to carry
my camera could never look on ravens
with any equanimity for he had suf-
fered much from their thievish i'm
pudence when sent to the bush to
gather firewood.
On one occasion he lost his dinner, a
loaf of bread wrapped In a napkin, al
though he was working close to the
spot where he had laid 1t and had turn
ed his back for only minute.
But the most objectionable insult he
had ever received happened on a day
when he was out gathering wood. AS
he was STOPPING down to bind bun
die Of fagots n raven suddenly swoop-
ed from behind, lifted the cap from his
head and flew away with it to lofty
crag, from which she uttered croaks
of triumph.
The cap was subsequently seen lined
with straw and serving for a nest.

A Chiropodist's Advice.

A chiropodist advises that foot COM
fort is much enhanced if all callous
places on the feet are made perfectly
smooth. This can be done easily and
the feet kept in excellent condition by
using a fine pumice stone every morn
should, Of course, be wet, and if rubbed
daily over the points on the feet that
have hardened or shown tendency to
harden the places can be made and
kept smooth. After corn has been
removed, too, light rubbing daily
of the place where it has been will
often prevent its return.
