Vate archives OF a noble Polish family
mere, whose ancestors acquired possession
OF the document during the war that fin

THOUSANDS KILLED
BY THE HOOK WORM.
AWFUL DEATH RATE IN PORTO
RICO CAUSED BY DEADLY
PARASITE.
Worm Gets Into Mans Intestines and
Sucks Up His Blood-Red
Corpuscles Exhausted.

New York, Dec. 31.-A letter to The
Herald from Maj L. L. Seaman, NJ. d.,
who has been privately investigating con-
ditions among the inhabitants Of Porto
Rico, states that the high death rate
there and the anaemic condition of the
rural population are due to the so-called
book worm, known to science as "anky-
lostoma duodenale," which was recently
stated to be highly prevalent in the south
ern states and all tropical countries.
When fully developed the worm some
times attains a length of three-quarters
of an inch. Treatment of 5000 cases and
exhaustive investigation by a medical
commission show, according to MAJ. Sea-
man, that the disease produced by the
worm has caused more than 30 per cent.
Of the deaths in Porto Rico.
The parasite is really a bloodsucker. Its
development requires about two months
and it's work in the intestines has been
found to greatly reduce the red corpuscles
of the blood.
Some Of the patients examined by the
commission showed under MICROSCOPIC
tests only 25 per cent. Of the normal
amount. One man had only Is per cent
The blood bore pinkish tint, almost as
light at water.

Certain Habits Unconscious1y Formed
and Hard to Break.
An ingenious philosopher estimates
that the amount of will power neces-
sary to break a lifelong habit would,
if it could be transformed, lift a
weight OF many tons
It sometimes requires higher de-
gree Of heroism to break the chains Of
a pernicious habit than to lead a for
lorn hope in bloody battle. A lady
writes from an Indiana town:
"From my earliest childhood was a
lover OF coffee Before / was out
of my teens I was a miserable dys-
peptic, suffering terribly at times with
my stomach.
that was causing the trouble and yet
I could not deny myself cup for
breakfast. At the age of IS was in
very poor health, indeed. My sister
told me I was in danger of becoming
a coffee drunkard.
'But 1 never could give up drink
ing coffee for breakfast although it
kept me constantly ill. until I tried
Postum. I learned to make it property
according to directions, and now we
can hardly do without Postum for
breakfast and care nothing at all for
coffee. J,
IT am no longer troubled with dys-,
pepsia, do not have spells of suffering
with my stomach that used to trouble
me so when I drank coffee" Name

President Roosevelt's remarks concern
ing the abuse of Jews in Russia did not
fall entirely on deaf ears. The Gar has
been pleased to order that a few more
Russian Jews are to be admitted to the
universities. The percentage of Jewish
students may be raised in st. Peters
burg, from 3 to 31a per cent of the
Orthodox scholars, in Kieff, Warsaw and
Odessa from 10 to Is per cent, in Kasan,
Charkow, Tomsk and Dorpat from 5 to

drummers will be RENTED in the New
Year, but the order that they must never
visit a place where the Gar breathes,
still stands. This means that they are
excluded from all the capitals.

Cowpeas for the Soil.

The plan Of sowing cowpeas to oc-
cupy the soil after harvesting fall
wheat or oats is as good now as ever,
says Rural New Yorker. With q ia
yorable season the cowpeas make
large growth and can be plowed under
in time for another crop Of grain or
grass seeding. The soil is left in much
better shape than it would be If left in
stubble and weeds. The trouble about
the plan this year is the difficulty in
obtaining cowpea seed. There seems
to be little if any left in the country.
We are thinking Of using white beans
in place Of the peas.
Clearing UP Brush Land.
The use Of Angora goats in clear

Michigan has been tried now for sew
eral years and apparently with salts
factory results to those who have in
vested in them. The lands have been
numbered, the pine cut out and then
left to grew up into brush. Upon
these lands the Angora has proved a
very efficient aid In clearing them Of
brush and putting them in shape for
cultivation or to grow into grass
Neither sheep nor cattle would do this
work as we'll as the Angora.

Food for the Stock.


Those who have tested the use of
more particularly for swine, agree that
the uncooked foods are by far the most
digestible. This opinion would delight
the vegetarians who urge uncooked
fruits and vegetables as being more
wholesome. Yet there are two sides to
the story as usual. There seems to be
no denying the value Of the uncooked
food, with animals at any rate, but we
all know that a quantity Of raw fruits
and vegetables eaten by humans during
the summer is apt to create a disturb
ance Of the digestive organs. Not al
ways does it cause a looseness Of the
bowels, but acidity Of the stomach,
which is very painful. Is it not fair to
assume that if uncooked food has this
effect on the human stomach that it
must have some bad effect on the stOm-
ach Of the farm animal
This may be little far-fetched, but
experience has taught the writer that,
without exception, one warm meal
day during the winter is beneficial to
the animals. Even our horses have a
warm bran mash, and it has been we'll
cooked, too. The poultry have the
warm cooked mash and the hot corn
at night every other day, and thrive
on it. This being our experience, our
argument is that animals should have
cooked food occasionally but that
NEST Of their meals should consist Of
food not cooked

Among the recent interesting reports
received by the department of state was
one on the subject of "Alligators in

Il. H. Plumacher at Maracaibo He
says though but few alligator skins are

count of the scarcity Of alligators 1t Is
strange that nobody has taken up the
hunting Of these reptiles. They are here
in the lakes and lagoons and rivers IN
untold numbers and of all sizes.

and alligator oil brings a high price, be
ing used for medical purposes. In the
Rio de Orc and Rio Tara | have seen
thousands Of large alligators, which come
up to deposit their eggs on the sand
banks during the dry season. 1t is the
same in all the hundreds Of streams
which flow into the Lake of Maracaibo
Alligator hunting is fine sport, and, in
