AROUND EARTH IN FORTY DAYS
Banker Expects to Accomplish Trip
In That Time.

j. NJ. Spencer, president Of the
Cleveland (Ohio) National bank. who,
above all things, takes delight ~
travel, has under contemplation an
attempt to go arOund the world in
40 days. The present record for a com.
plete journey around the world is
ffty-four days and seven hours, but
Mr.. Spencer believes that the long
journey ran be accomplished in a little
over a month.
The plans Of Mr.. Spencer have not
been arranged as to detail, and before
the date Of departure is decided upon
every effort will be made to get the
route SO laid out that only the uneN<
pected will prevent delays. The pro-
posed globe girdler is now in com
munication with persons in different
parts of the world, and the curse of
the journey is being gradually put
into shape.
AS has been the case with all per
sons who have tried to circle the
world in record time. Mr.. Spencer an
ticipates the most difficult part of the
whirl will he through parts of Russia
II he can make good connections in
Russia he does not see anything in
the way Of an accomplishment Of the
trip i'm forty days.
With good luck In the matter oI
connections it Is roughly figured thai
the trip can be made from Yokohama
Japan, to Moscow, Russia, in eight
days; Moscow to Vladivostok, twelv,
days; V~ladivostok to Nicho. two days
Nicho, to Yokohama. a half a day; 70
kohama to San Francisco, twelve days
nd San Francisco to Cleveland. foui
and one-half days. II this schednl,
a be adhered to the trip will be mad
In a little over thirty.nine days and al

tn.Breeding of Poultry.

In time our experiment stations will
doubtless take up the question OF in
breeding and conduct series OF expert
ments to determine Just what its ef-
fects are on birds. II is not necessar.
lily q fact that what Is true Of n kind
of animal life is true Of every other
kind, though 1t may be 80. 1t is
probably safest not to do much In
breeding. But on the other hand. there
are large breeders that claim that In
breeding does not result In the de
terioration of the flock, II care is taken
in selecting the most vigorous breed
ers. One man claims that he actually
inbred for vigor and increased the
vigor OF his flock in that way. In
breeding Is generally reputed to afYec'
the vigor OF a flock first of all. IL any
of our readers have tried experiments
along this line We would like to heal
from them.

HOW HE'D TREAT AN AssAiLANT.
Law Students Reply Was Natural,
but Not Sanctioned by Blackstone.

James b. Dill, the noted lawyer,
who mas lately made an automobile
journey from New Jersey to the
Rangeley lakes, has always been an,
original character. A gentleman who
was a fellow student at the New York
university law school tells a story
illustrating this fact as well as Dill's
tearlessness of method. even in the
days of his pupilage. and long before
he had dreamed of the professional
good fortune that has come to him q
quarter of a century later. They were
members of the class Of rs. One day
Prof. David II. Jaques, then the chief
instructor, was quizzing and he came
to Dill, to whom he put this question:
MIR. Dill. suppose you were walk

Had Not Missed II.

On a certain occasion, while Thorn
as Hill, the artist, was rusticating up
in the White Mountains, he was com
missioned by a wealthy farmer named
Perkins to paint the old homestead,
and was particularly requested to give
a large maple tree standing near the
house a prominent place in the pic
ture. A few days after the completed
picture had been delivered Mr.. Hill
heard the following dialogue betweeB
two rustics in the neighbOrhoOd:
Il hear that artist fellow has been
up and draw.d Perkins's tree"
For a moment there was a pause.

WHERE IS THE RING?
Bride Loses II from the Top OF the
Washington Monument.

washington MONUMENT
The wedding ring Of a bride is lost
in the grass at the Washington monu'
ment at Washington, ID. G.. II mas
been sought in vain. Custodian Craig
has had the grass cut to facilitate the
search.
A young man and woman creeping
about on their hands and knees In the
grass attracted much attention. It
was ascertained that they were a
newly married couple from Baltimore
and were at Washington on their
wedding tour. They went up to the
top of the monument, which is 655
feet high, and took some apples with
them. While looking at the city from
the great height they munched the
apples.
See how far o can throw the
core" said the bridegroom.
"Oh. you think a girl cant throw,
don't you?" was the arch reply OF the
bride as she raised her arm e her
head and made the characteristic
feminine sweep. The core went sail
ing down. AS it left her hand the
bride cried out in CONSERVATION. Her
wedding ring. placed or her finger
only a few hours before, had slipped
of and disappeared. In reply to the
bridegroom's promise to buy another
ring the bride Indignantly demanded
to know now any one could buy q
second wedding ring. So the search
for the missing ring was begun.

Crates for Fruit Packing.

In the gathering Of fruit, especially
of fruits that bruise easily, iihe
peaches, pears and plnms. il liz All
visable to have n strongly built risid
crate. Baskets are quite generally
used, and we see pictures OF men
carrying bushel baskets heaped up,
holding them by the two handles.
This is considered by the beet packers
detrimental to the fruit, which shOnId
be rubbed together as little as posi-
BILE. There Is some give about alt
baskets, and a basket IN the ground
full OF apples does not retain Its shape
entirely when lifted from the ground.
The apples are pushed together Cp'
posite the handles and arc shifted
more or less in the other parts OF tho
basket. In a greater degree bags
cause the bruising Of fruit. A two
| bushel bag Is filed AMI IL generally
lifted by the middle. This forces
the apples very closely together In
the two ends Of the bag, and they
| roll back again when the bag IL set
down. One Michigan packing honse
has made a picking crate that will
hold a little more than a bushel. IL
liz rectangular and composed OF Stats.
Care Is taken to have The Stats on
the bottom close together, 70 that tho
fruit will not project below the Stats
and receive bruises when the crate
Is set down. This crate will largely
take the place Of the other receptaCleH
used in picking and delivering fruit.

Turned Century; still Healthy.

Wolf Weissmann OF Hoboken, n. J.,
celebrated his one hundred and third
birthday last week. He had spent the
day electioneering down town and on
his return home drank a couple OF
goblets Of wine and smoked a pipe.
Smoking. however, he says does not
agree with him. and he intends 10
abandon the habit. He was born at

Young Pigs.

Prof. r. S. Shaw says that In Mop
tana young pigs should have constant
access to forage grounds in the snIm-
mer season, and sheltered yards 10 The
winter. When four weeks old they
will take a little sweet skim milk
to which some shorts or middliDss
may be gradually added. and later
some ground wheat. A light gram
ration should be supplied the young
growing pig in addition to the forage
throughout the forage season but MAY
be entirely cut of as soon as the pigs
reach the pea or grain stubble fields.
During the winter season the shotes
should have access to stacked alfalfa,
clover. or peas, from which they VIII
secure a large amount Of food. Sugar
beets should also be supplied.

Effects Of Loss Of Pigs.

From Farmers Review: Our own
experience with spring pigs this year
was satisfactory. From four Ows-
one with her first litter and two with
their second litter-we raised thirty
three thrifty pigs. They now average
more than 100 pounds each, and baf
Of this was made from pasture, part
APE that wintered. But complaint
was quite general this spring Of loss
of pigs, even from farmers that care
well for their stock. So, notwith-
standing the stimulus Of high prices
toward increased production, this
county will not market more hogs this
year than last.-P. +. Nye, Elkbart

ON DUTIES OF MOI!ORMEN
A Decision on the Rights Of We
hicles Upon the Tracks of
the Street Railways.

st. Louis. March 10.-In the United
States court of appeals an opinion handed
down by Judge Thayer, concurred In by
Judge Caldwell, defines the rights and
privileges Of pedestrians and vehicles upon
street railway tracks and the duties Of
motormen in running their cars
The plaintiff in the case whose vehicle
had been wrecked and the occupants in
jured. set forth that the motorinan was
guilty of negligence and the defense set
up the claim that the plaintiff was guilty
of contributory negligence. This was the
main question at issue in the appeal. .us
Judge Thayer held that motorman is
under the same obligation to exercise or
binary care and prudence so as to avoid
collisions and injuring persons as these
persons are to exercise care not to get In
the way of street cars, SO as to be run
over and injured. g.: -. .r-.
He says pedestrians and vehicles have
right to cross the tracks of street rail-
| ways at any point besides the regular
crossings, and to use tracks for any dis
tance for matter Of safety or conven-
ience, where they do not unnecessarily
interfere with or Obstruct the passage of
the cars. A motorman, he says. has no
right to act on the assumption that he is
entitled to a clear track at all times and
that pedestrians or vehicles are bound at
| their peril. no matter at what inconven-
! ience, to get out Of the way
He held that the plaintiff in this ca Sc
had right to use the street railway
tracks a convenience in avoiding the
| mud hole in the street and that the motor
| man was guilty Of negligence in not taking
| proper precautions to reduce the speed of
his car when he saw the vehicle so as to
bring it under such control that he could
have avoided the collision
Judge Sanborn filed a lengthy dissenting
opinion. He holds the trial judge erred in
refusing to allow the claim of contribu-
tory negligence on the plaintiffs part.

DEBATE ON DUELLING
Socialists Opposed to It and Conser
vatives Favor It.

Berlin, March 10.--Herr Bebel, the So
cialist leader in the debate on the military
budget in the reichstag, said the higher
classes Of society were in a state of per-
manent conspiracy against the law and
religion so far as dueling was concerned.
Turning to the i'll treatment of German
soldiers, he said it was common for old
sergeants to boast of their ingenuity in
abusing young privates. .
Among the incidents referred to was
that Of a private who was compelled to
open his mouth while a sergeant spat into
it several times.

Herr Bebel that officers who i'll treated

Special to The Journal.

epeclal TO Inc journal. .'r
Winnipeg. Man., March 1o.-The ex-
pected happened yesterday afternoon,
when all the freight handlers and the ma :
jority Of the clerks employed III the general
freight offices of the Canadian Pacific rail-
way put on their coats and walked out on
a, strike. ...
This move was not surprise to either
the men, the public or the COMPANY for
ever since the members of the United
Brotherhood of Railway Employees at the
coast quit work some ten days ago it
was expected that the same order would
follow their lead all over the western
and central divisions. @.". --
At a meeting held last week by the
order in Winnipeg. it was decided to go
out on their own initiative, but the rumors
OF arbitration which came from the coast
delayed this movement, and it was not
until O'Clock yesterday afternoon that
William Gault, the vice president of the
order. received a wire from George Estes,
the president OF the United Brotherhood
of Railway Employees, who is now in Van
couver. ordering the men ont. The strik-
ers assert that all the freight ha ndlers
from Winnipeg to the coast. and all the
machinists on the western division are on
a strike.
This dispatch was taken by Mr.. Gault to
the office N the general superintendent OF
the Canadian Pacific and as Mr.. Leonard
was ill In bed. j. J. Sculy, his chief clerk
VINO was in charge Of the offices, was in
formed that the men would go out at
o'clock to stay out until the agreement
presented at the coast had been accepted
and ratified in Montreal
Mr.. Scully accepted the notice without
comment and promptly at the hour named
$50 men left their work
The men who out include all the
freight handlers in the sheds and about al
the clerks in the general freight offices
OF those who are still at their desks, the
strikers say that nearly all will quit to-
day and that the company will be alb
solutely tied up far as the handling OF
local freight is concerned
