Judge Bacon, who presides in the
London (England) county court, is one

He has to deal with all races and all
classes, and has become famous for
terse decisions and quaint sayings.
Here are some of the utterances that
he recently delivered from the bench:
On the veracity of woman-''Women

About money lenders-"My own i'm

honest as the borrower. AS rule
there is no Misrepresentation that a
man will not make when he wishes to
borrow money. and when he does not
want to pay it back he will repeat the
operation"
To defendant who declared she
couldn't stay there and listen to such
lies Think of me; have to listen
to them every day OF my life"

BOER IN A BOX.
Attempted Escape of Prisoner Of
War from st, Helena.

A most remarkable story has been
furnished to an Express representative
by the second officer of the R. NJ. S.
Goth, which has just arrived from the
Cape.
On the Goth's arrival on Christmas
morning at Ascension island, on the
homeward voyage, a Boer command
ant was discovered on board in large
wooden case forming part OF the cargo.
The consignment had been receiv-
ed on board the st. Helena, and ship
ped as box of Boer curios for Eng
land. The measurements OF the case
were: Length, feet, 3 inches:
breadth, feet inches. and height, .
feet.
When the box was opened the con-
tents proved to be a live Boer COM
mandant, who gave his name as
Smonerburg, and owned that he was
prisoner of war on parole
Standing over six feet in height. he
was helped out Of his cramped room
in weak and exhausted state. He
had there been cribbed, cabined and
confined for five days.
Enough food was stored to last him
for his voyage to England, but in be-
ing slowed away in the hold his water
bottles had been broken
He was eventually landed at Ascen-
sion under an escort. to await reship

NJ. Bloch u ropist.

That the late NJ. Bloch, the advocate
OF universal peace. was philanthrop!c
in practical ways as well as in his
theories, is attested by his will. When
it was probated at Warsaw recently
it was discovered that the writer had
bequeathed a great part of his fortune
to various charities. About $l5O.V0O
is set aside for the establishment of
a children's asylum the sum of $35 900
goes to the Warsaw Benevolent So
ciety. $4,000 will be received by the
Warsaw Polytechnic school as fund
for poor pupils and $1,000 by local
charity institutions. In addition NJ
Bloch bequeaths piece of land worth
IS 600 and $25 200 in cash to the uni
versal peace propaganda. 1t is said
that his will begins with the words:

Head of Two HOuAea.

1t is not quite clear as to what is
the proper designation of the royal
house of which Edward VII of Eng
land is the head. Queen Victoria was
the last OF the house of Hanover. BY
her marriage to the prince consort
King Edward VII became on his ac-
cession head OF the house of Saxe-Co-
burg. In reply to this it is pointed
out that as the son Of Queen Victoria,
from whom he inherits the crown his
majesty remains head Of the house OF
Hanover. Queen Victoria was OF the
latter house through the male life, as
the daughter OF son of George III.
who was, of course, OF Hanover. 1t
has yet to be decided whether King
Edward belongs to the house OF his
father or his mother. In reality the
king unites the houses OF Hanover and
Saxe-Coburg.

Thirteens Autdid Him.

A gentleman tells why lie failed to
secure house when he took day off
to look for one.
He made a note OF half dozen or
more vacant dwellings in the neigh
borhood where he wished to locate
and started out to inspect them. The
first was Number Thirteen, but he was
so occupied in the details OF his search
that he failed to notice the ominous
figures. While he was gazing at the
front OF the dwelling and thinking that
it looked all right, friend came along
the street.
What's doing?' inquired the friend.
Looking al this house" was the re-
ply. Il am thinking OF renting it.
For Heavens sake don't do that"
responded the other. Don. you see
it is Number Thirteen? Besides, this
is the thirteenth day OF the month.
Don't make such break as that"
With his attention called to the coin
cidence the house hunter concluded
that he would not complete the deal
He took out his list to see what other
houses were on it. and. to his astonish-
ment, found that each one had thirteen
in its number.
Il quit right there" he said after
ward. Il am not superstitious. but my
aunt, who lives with me, is, and ! can
rot put her against such combina-
ton OF thirteens."

london Crowds Look Much Alike.

To the chance observer the throng-
ing thousands OF overcrowded London
are not easily classified, writes Walter
A. Wycoff in Scribner's. One readily
recognizes certain types. as the casuals
and tramps and abandoned women, the
tiotsam and jetsam generally OF city
population which are not widely unlike
wherever met. But this carries one
but little way in knowing a city full
OF industrious workers OF all manner
OF antecedents and ranging from four
teen years to old age and engaged in
nearly every conceivable industry
There is little, any longer, in the dress
OF the English working people. as in
the case OF the working classes in
America. to give them distinctive
stamp The factory girl is type apart
and the costermonger and the Jew OF
the sweat-shops, and one imagines that
one distinguishes roughly between
skilled and unsklled workmen, and
certainly between criminals and honest
workers, until experience suggests a
difficulty. But Tor those who, from long
study of the working classes of Lon
don, have come to know their life and
labor, there are ready standards OF
classification None is simpler than
that OF wages.

Beanh as n DAIRY Fond.

Query.-Some farmers are buying
ground beans for cows. Is it safe to
feed them? What should they be
mixed with for a good milk ration?
Which of the following is cheapest,
according to feed value at given prices
per ton? Bran S23. middlings $25,
corn meal S27, beans $14.
Answer.-I will say that we have not
experimental in the feeding of beans
10 mllch cows at this station. Ground
beans can be fed with apparent safety
to cows If fed only in very small pro-
portion and thoroughly mixed with
,ther food. The market price of beans
S generally too high for stock food,
except the damaged material, so they
are seldom used for cows. We do
lot advise the use of any such un-
oalatable food in more than very small
quantity. The wheat bran will sup
ply about fifty-seven per cent. of di-
ges.ible dry matter, wheat middlings
about sixty-ive per cent. and corn
meal about seventy-siX per cent. The
choice of these grains depends upon
what coarse folders are available.
The bran and middlings supply nearly
.wice as much digestible protein as
The corn meal. The beans are highly
litrogenous and at the price would
supply the small proportion of protein
that can be safely derived from this
source cheaper than the other food

Raising the Wind.

When certain late Shah OF Persia
became temporarily embarrassed for
money he had quite unique method
of filling his purse. He would go tc
the market, where. after examining
the shops. he would select one and,
turning to the proprietor, would say;
will you take me in as partner in
your business for the day?" The offer
was, OF course, accepted. The Shah
would take his seat near the shop en-
trance and say to his courtiers, whom
he always took with him on these oc-
casions: Now, I'm the salesman.
Who'll buy?' The latter, not daring
TO refuse the offer OF the royal mer.
chant. set about clearing the shop oi
its contents, paying sometimes two
hundred and fifty dollars for goods
that were not worth fifty dollars. No
one was allowed to beat down the
prices or to leave the place without
making purchases. When everything
was sold the Shah had list OF the
cost price OF each article made out
and Loyalty shared with the shopkeeper
the amount OF the profits realized.

Raisinr winter Hatched Chicks.

February is the best month in which
to raise young chicks. The pullets not
only make the earliest layers If kept
until the following fall, but will bring
the highest price in the spring If put
on the market early. Both pullets and
cockerels may be sold If desired, and
leave room in the yards for the later
hatched birds. 1t takes care and pa.
.ient work to make a success of rearing
winter hatched chicks. They should

during the day they may be fed a

whole wheat. At night they should
be fed a full meal Of corn as soon as
they are old enough to swallow the

A Ration For the Cow.

Not every farmer has a silo or n
corn-shredding machine. They cost
too much for the man who mas but
two or three cows. But he can pick
the ears from his corn stover and the
grain ground and the cob, too, IL he
so wishes, then have the stover well
cured in the field. and when he takes
it to the barn have 1t cut into pieces
not more than half inch long. and
shorter if possible. Then molsten It
with warm water If such is convenient
to the COW stables, and cover it up to
steam for twenty-four hours, at least,
before feeding. Put on each cows
ration ss much and such grain as her
condition calls for, and If she does not
do us well as she would on ensilage,
she will do better than on dry corn
stover. If obliged to wet 1t with cold
water, it will be better for standing
forty-eight hours, to germinate q little
heat by fermentation.

an exchange tells of q tile which
received the drainage of a nine-acre
field, and was found to be discharginp
at the rate of 450 barrels in twenty
four hours, when there had not been
any rain for forty-eight hours. This
is fifty barrels per acre, and 1t would
require but few days to reduce a
wet and miry field to condition fit
for cultivation. There is no question
but that tile draining enables the land
to be worked earlier by making II
drier, and yet by keeping it more po.
rous it makes it less subject to injury
to the crop by drouth. But not all
fields of low land can be tile drained
with advantage to the owner. There
are some where there is not fall
enough from the surface to running
water to allow draining to the required
depth. And there are basins which
are so surrounded by higher land, and
possibly land belonging to other peo.
pie who would not allow ditching
through it, that to tile drain in the
usual way would be almost an impos-
sibility. But we have relieved such
places by sinking a we'll or putting a
large tile down until it reached a
sandy or gravelly subsoil, whether 1t
were four feet or twelve feet. If put
in the lowest part Of the basin, the
water would flow there without
trouble, or if the basin was large it
might be carried there by lateral
lrains.-The Cultivator.

oiiitatc Them.


ciiitatc Them.
Perhaps the most difficult section Ct
the duties of the foreign mails office
Of the United States Postoffice De.
pnrtment is that of Aslatic mails, says
the American Aslatic. Recently there
have been some changes in the meth
DDS of the department. and particularly
toward quicker dispatch. Among these
changes is the assignment TO the Seat
tie office Of the making up of Inward
and outward mails for all sailings and
arrivals of mail steamships of the
ports of Seattle, Tacoma. and Vancou-
yer and Victoria, in connection with all
territory north of Canton, in East Asia.
This includes all the vessels of the
Great Northern or Nippon Yusen
Kaisha Company, the Northern Pa
cific Steamship Company, and the
Royal Mail Steamship Company, sail
ing to and from Japan and China. The
territory involves China and coast
points south. Japan, Siberia and Korea.
The duties Of the foreign department
of the Seattle postofIice are partlcu-
larly responsible in the proper assign
ment of mails to the East Asiatic dis
tributing points. And in the absence
of Asiatic detailed geographic intelli-
gence by the general public, and also
due TO the general ignorance of the
postofiice geography" prompt dispatch
Is often impossible. Mail often reaches
this point from interior United States
offices. being wrongly directed by the
addressor. which has to be redrectcd
via New York.
This is particularly the case with
mail for British India the Dutch East
Indies, and other important trading
points not within the trans-Pacifc mail
jurisdiction. Mails are made up at
Seattle for Japan, whence Korean and
Siberian mail is distributed Shanghai,
Hongkong and Chinese ports depend
ent on Hongkong distribution. Mall
is also taken for the Philippines when
directed by this route. but at interna
tional rates all Philippine Islands mail
being usually routed at domestic rates
via San Francisco on account of the
United States transport mail service
thence. San Francisco distributes mail
for trans Pacific sailings and arrivals
at that port. New York sends mail by
the eastern or Suez route to India,
Siam and Dutch East Indies. This
mail goes direct TO London for transfer
to British mail steamships.

Then all that is necessary to fill the

letting the warm water from the house

worked successfully on an up-to-date

Alfalfa For MiIch Cows,

A test with alfalfa was made at the
Wyoming Experiment Station, com
pairing alfalfa with wheat bran as q
ration for milch cows. AS is we'll
known in every dairy section, wheat
bran is an exceedingly efficient feed
for the production of milk. 1t is easily
digested and the returns are always
satisfactory. However. 1t is very
costly in the Western States and al
falfa is cheap. According to analysis
the alfalfa contains little more crude
protein than bran and considerable
more ash. With this in view, a test
was made for twenty days with some
milch cows upon neighboring farm.
For the first ten days a ration con-
tanning a small amount Of bran and
all of the alfalfa hay that would be
eaten was given. The last ten days a
heavy food of bran with native hay
was given. The results show that al
though the bran produced the highest
yield of milk, the alfalfa ration was
by far the most economical.
