When General Grant was in China,
says a contributor to Short Stories, he
journeyed by water from Tien-tsin to
Peking. One morning there was no
wind, and the coolies, walking along
the river bank. pulled the houseboat.
They made little progress, and finally
the general called his Chinese servant
and said:
boy, why for these coolies no can
walkee more fast?
Must talkee lowder," the boy re.
piled.
The general, thinking the boys mean
ing was that he should speak in tone
the coolies could overhear, raised his
voice and repeated:
"Why for these coolies no can walkee
more fast"
To which the boy imperturbably an.
swered as before, "Must talkee low
der"
Several times this dialogue was re.
peated, and General Grant did talkee
louder until he fairly shouted.
At last the boy slightly varied his
response: mo 'caslon speak so high"
he said. more better talkee lowder." :
Our hero was just beginning to feel
like Alice in Wonderland when ray
OF light seemed to flash across the
mind of the boy, and he rushed to the
end Of the boat, seized the captains
arm and, dragging him to General
Grant, exclaimed:

General Grant saw the joke. On Chi

Washington. Sept S-lSpl)-Cap-
tain McCala's testimony has been the
most antagonstc to Admiral Schley
vet brought out before the Court of
Inquiry Three points were particu-
: larly dwelt upon
First. that Schley did not proceed
from Cienfuegos TO Santiago with all
possible dispatch, second that Schley
was not justified in turning back from
Santiago on account of lack of coal;
third, that Schley did not use every
effort to capture or destroy the Colon
when she lay in the mouth of Santiago
harbor.
Although these are largely matters
of opinion, Judge Advocate Lemly and
his assistant Mr.. Hanna managed their
questions so clearly as to make the
witness answers appear as statements
of fact, thus avoiding the courts rnl-
ing against the admission of express
sion of opinion.
Captain McCalla's bearing on the
stand and his manner Of answering
interrogatories of counsel clearly evil
deneed his prejudice against Schley,
of which fact the attorneys for the de-
fense will doubtless take advantage
later In the proceedings.
The refusal of the court yesterday
to admit legal representative of Adj
miral Sampson to take part In the In
fyestigation does not make final dis
position Of the matter The court
stated that the application was refused
because at the time 1t was made,
Sampson was not party to the case.

Schleys counsel to involve Sampson

4 most Instructive illustration Of the
advantage 10 be derived from breed
ing with a purpose is afforded by the
milk records Of the herd OF dairy COWS
kept In connection with Cornell univer-
sity. Starting close on 80 years ago
with a herd of about 20 COWS. which
were only capable OF producing an
average Of about 2400 pounds Of milk
In the year. an effort was made to SO
cross and select these animals and
their progeny as 10 improve their milk
producing capacities from year TO year.
A beginning vas made by using bulls
Of well known milking strains. and lit
tie by little the milking capabilities of
the cows were steadily improved until
at the present time Inc record Of the
twenty odd cows kept in the herd. all
OF them descendants of the original
20 which only averaged 2.4OO pounds of
milk. works out TO close on 64OO
pounds per annum. All this was &C
complished by the combined results of
crossing with bulls Of good milking
strains and the careful selection for
breeding purposes Of animals whose
dams bad specially distinguished them
selves as mixers. What has been done
here Is capable Of achievement by
every farmer who lays bis mind down
to that end and operates accordingly.
Instead OF selling OF the calves pro-
duced by their best mixer. they should
make q special point OF retaining these
In their own herds and mating them
with purchased bulls of a good milking
strain. Working upon these lines the
milk records OF nine out Of every ten
herds In the country could be improved
by thousands Of pounds annually.
