Japan's Human Horses"

From the London Mail.
 The feats of which the Japanese rick ashawmen are capable are almost in- credible l remember some years ago being driven ashore in a yacht in the In land Sea during typhoon It was far beyond the treaty limits which then existed, and foreigners were not allowed to travel outside those limits without special passports. But the mayor of the nearest fishing village was kindness itself He promised to supply the best rickshawmen which the neighborhood, could produce, so as to take us to rail- way station some forty miles away And he kept his word. for the distance was covered in less than six hours in cluding halt for refresnmenIs Each rickShaw was drawn by two men, tam dem wise, the usual fashion when long distances have to be covered. The lead CTS in each went through the whole dis tance, while the wheelers, so to speak were changed half way, The road was over great part of the distance a it- He better than q mountain track, and 1t was raining most of the time, but there was never a break in our progress ex- cept to allow the coolies to take off or put on their clothes. They prefer run ming In nothing but loincloth, and do so whenever they get safely beyond the eye of the police, who have orders strict 1y to administer the law against nudity.
 The fare paid for this prolonged jour ney was, if l remember rightly about three shillings for each rickshaw. the ex- tra shilling being gratuity thrown in for good service. I know that 1t pur- chased so many blessings on my honor able head as cannot yer be quite ex- hausted. And having made our farewell at the railway station the coolies started back at once for their own village.

 Ae is ciaiihed that artiehokes may be grown as early as corn. and that upon Hand that will yield fifty nushels of corn ,per acre from goo to 190 bushels of artl= chokes can De produced.

 Sir Arthur Sullivan. the musician. has invented the Sullivan safety shaft.n a device to be attached to carriages to save life In case of rnnaways or similar aeci dents, by releasing the horse from the The invention which is to he put on the market at once. Is prImariIv due to the death of the late countess of Lathom, which filled Sir Arthur with a desire to prevent similar catastrophes
 At the Montana experiment station they turned fl pigs from 6 10 months old upon stubblefields of IS acres of barley. about 10ik acres wheat and 1Os4 acres of peas. The fields had been harvested in the usual manner, and 1t was thought there was no more grain left in the stub ble than that left on the average farm. Before the test they had been pastured on alfalfa, and had in addition l pound of cracked barley per head daily. The gain for ten weeks upon this feed was a daily average of 42 pounds.
 An excellent mode of feeding linseed meal to a horse is to mix half pound with a bueketful of finely cut clover hay The clover should be cut in half inch lengths if possible. scalded, a little salt added, and then the linseed meal. A quart of corn meal will also be an ex- celent addition. Mix the whole intimately and feed it warm When horse is rough In coat and has but little appetite, such 3 mess three times a week will be appre- eiated and will be better than medicine It promotes the appetite, regu.ates the bowels and assists in improving the con- dition of the animal.

FRAEuLEIN kRUPP.
Richest Girl in the World Is Guarded
 by Detectives.

From the London Mail.
 It is one of the grim ironies of fate that a young girl. barely of age, should be in a sense responsible for the bloodsbed in the struggle between Russia and Japan. owing to the fact that she supplied both powers with practically all of their guns. The young woman in question is Miss Krupp, who, on the death of her father, became chief proprietor of the world famed Krupp works at Essen and like wise became the wealthiest woman in the world
 The heiress seems to have inherited some of the family capacity for indus trial organization, for she takes the great est pride and delight in supervising the work of the different departments and declares that at some future time she will have gained sufficient experience to take an active part in the direction of af- fairs.
 Meanwhile her interference in business matters Is limited to passive supervision. but she takes a more active part in con- trolling the management of the numerous auxiliary departments of the establish ment. The schools for the children of her employees and the hospitals for the care of the sick receive regular visits from her, and she has sharp eye for defects of all kinds.
 Knowing human nature it Is hardly surprising to find that Miss Krupp's em- ployes do not appreciate her good quail ties and charitable ways. Living in Miss Krupp's houses, sending their children to her schools, applying to her hospitals when they or their families are sick, at tending her churches, drinking beer in her restaurants. buying meat from her slaughter houses, flour from her mills bread from her bakers and hats and clothes from her stores make them feel that they are her serfs. and not free born laborers.
 Miss Krupps charitable disposition has become known to the general public in Germany, with the result that she re- ceiyes on an average of over 200 purely begging letters day, and over 150 letters daily entreating her to give position in the works to some worthy young man.
 She also has to undergo some of the inconveniences which are generally con fined to emperors and kings. Her vast wealth and the ownership of an entire city make her a likely target for an- archi~-~ bullets, and her friends are in constant fear of her assassination. For this reason her guardians have insisted on her being continually guarded by a special corps of detectives, who are al- ways in her vicinity.

NOTES FOR FARMERS.

Compiled by the St. Louis Globe-Demo-
 crat.
 Prof Bailey has said that more edi- ble fruits and kitchen vegetables are still unknown to civilization than are now grown by man.
 Mushroom raising is a profitable busi- ness. Dr. William Watson of Chester, Pa produced 900 of the vegetable in his hothouse during the past winter. the bulk of the plant being sold in New York and Washington at about 30 cents a pound.
 Potatoes as a food vary in value, &C., cording to the way they are cooked. Roasted they are in the best form for eating. European peasants eat potatoes together with milk, and are correct in principle, as the milk furnishes the ele- ments lacking in the tubers.
 Experiments made last year show that ashes are very beneficial to melons. in- creasing the growth of the vine and in- ducing a larger growth of fruit Potash largely assists in the creation of sacchar- inc matter, thus rendering the melons sweeter.. Use the ashes around the plants liberally.
 The result of some investigation on the feeding of milch cows. recently car- ried out in Germany, was to show that the production of milk was dependent
