international Poultry Food is
a great preparation, and no one
raising fowls can afford to be
without it as it is a sure cure
and preventative for chicken
cholera and other diseases, and
it greatly increases the produc-
ton of eggs. 1t does not cost
anything to feed it, because
chickens will lay more than
enough eggs to pay the cost.

In Peking for the two Yale men who

men is the Rev.. Lawrence Thurston.

logical course ut the Hartford semi
nary. The other one had not been de-
termined upon at the time when the
article was written. In the autumn of
1903 these two will be Joined by two
more Yale men. One OF these will be
the Rev. Harlan L. Beach, rs, and
the other is still to be selected. Mr..
Beach will be the director in China of
the mission. He has already served In
that country as missionary for eight
years and therefore already knows his
China very well. These four will then
decide upon the actual site of the Yale
settlement in the far east. 1t seems
TO be determined that this site shall
be In north China, in the region where

the PLATFORM OF small country station
near Ciandeboye and hired a driver to

to recognize him. Presently Lord Duff.

A Two Country Po.s,mc..

The most curious postoftice in Amer
lea is the one which stands in Beebe
Plain, town half i'm Vermont and hak
In the province OF Quebec, Canada.
The old postoffice was built about sew
enty-hve years ago exactly on the line
between the United States and Canada.
so that 1t stands in two countries and
serves in the postal service two ma
lions. The cellar of the building con-
meets the two countries, and some years
ago, when the postofiice was n general
store, whisky was known to be sold in
one country and delivered in another
without having gone out from under
the roof OF the old structure.
The combination postofice is now be-
Ing run by parent and child, the father
being postmaster for Canadian Quebec
and the daughter postmistress for YER
mont. Standing in front OF this strange
postoffice is a large post, which marks
the boundary line, and it is said that
one time man who wanted to get a
roadway to his premises moved this
post and many thousands of dollars
and no little time Were spent to estab-
lish the exact line again.

1 HALF A MILLION.
a Careful Estimate of the Jevs.n
Ponuln fion NJ Noxx Xa-l

@>sataatf Oh Nne JeWInh
population OF New York.
The Jewish World publishes a care
fui estimate of the number OF Jews In
Greater New York, based for the first
time on the only sure statistical foun-
dation, the number OF Jewish burials
as recorded by the board of health.
These amounted I'm 1901 to 1897. and
as the death rate In the most congested
Jewish district is little over 10 per
1000 this implies population of 533.-
133 In the middle OF 1901. Since that
time no less than 1925 have arrived
at New York and stayed there, while
by natural increase OF births over
deaths another -, 400 would be added
up to Aug. 1 of this year, making a
grand total OF 5S4, 7SS.
That this is rather under than over
the actual state OF the population Is
shown in various ways. The number
or Jewish marriages I'm Manhattan
alone in 1901 was 5062, which, at a
very high marriage rate OF 10 per 900,
would imply population of SOC. 200,
to which have to be added the 10000
Jews of Brooklyn and the increase by
immigration and excess of births. as
before. The high rate of marriage ia
due to the fact that so large q proper
ton of the Jewish Immigrants are
adults, three bachelors to every two
spinsters.
Again, since 1881 the number OF Jew
ish immigrants has been counted each
year and amounts to date TO G27. $50
who have arrived In New York, of
whom 459,O55 have stayed there. Count.
ing the $4,000 Jews who were In New
York in 1881 and the natural Increase
during the twenty-one years as 1O5.-
DOB, total is reached Of 609,95S.
y further confirmation is obtained
from the nationalities of the residents
OF New York as declared by the GEN.
sus OF 1900. Taking the Jewish per-
centage of those either born In Russia
or OF Russian parentage as so per cent
would give 396,603; Austria at 40 per
cent, 12S,346; Germany at 6 per cent
66,114; England at per cent, 0.279.
and adding the whole of the Rouma-
mans then in New York there is reach
ed sum of 607,S43 without reckoning
the immigration and increase since
1900.
Altogether ii is clear that the calcu-
iation founded on the death rate is a
conservative and minimum estimate
and that the Jews of New York mum,

Indian Murderer Killed.

Word has Deen received at Phoenix
that Malice, one of the most blood
thirsty redskins Arizona has ever
known, was killed Saturday near Ar
gyle Bend, neal which place two vic
tins recently fell before his inherent
hatred of the palefaces. He sought to
incite other redskins to violence
against the whites, and fed when he
learned that officers were after him.
Sheriff Truman and Ed Carruthers fol-
lowed the quarry over the desert trails
and rocks, where the Indian cunningly
discarded his shoes, ~concealing his
trail. A tomahawk whizzed past the
sheriff's head as the two suddenly
drew rein before a wickiup, and bullets
followed. Malice fell with two bullets
In his heart. Among the latest vic
tins of Malice was Charles Walsh, a
well known cattleman. whom the In.
dians assaulted at his ranch a month
ago, subsequently burning the haci
enda.

Plum Puddino for Christmas.

London, Dec. 18.-It Is estimated
that during the past two or three
weeks the steamships leaving England
have carried upwards of 500 tons of
plum pudding, or roughly speaking
about 10000 puddings. To an English.
man a Christmas dinner without a
plum pudding would be like a produc-
ton Of Hamlet without the melancholy
Dane, and the Britain's weakness in
this particular is one that always
sticks with him. even though he mi
CRATES to the end OF the earth. AS the
holiday season approaches each year
tons of festive pudding find their way
from London all over the world. A
large portion are sen as Christmas
presents to friends in the United
States. Many hundreds of them go to
Canada, Australia and South Africa.
The buildings are packed in tins and
sent by parcels post as a rule. An in
terview with the manager Of the best
known firm OF plum pudding makers
develops the fact that many more
plum buildings are being sent to the
United States this year than hereto
fore. owing to the abolition Of the duty
of nearly so per cent, which formerly
prevailed. The orders come from all
parts OF America. several having come
from as far west as San Francisco and
Seattle.
