tains records for one year of eighteen
dairy herds in Illinois, including 221
cows. The average production was g.
616.99 pounds of milk and 226.63

averaged 350.17 pounds Of butter fat
and the poorest 1925 pounds. The
best ten cows averaged 3SS.75 pounds
of butter fat and the poorest 10,1O9.42

tanned by Brian HOdgson 40 years ago
from native hunters. 1t occurs also
ID the mountainous regions Of western
China, where a pale-colored variety
OF the species was discovered by Pere
David, and in Thibet. The takin is net

furnishes one of the numerous links
between the antelopes and the more
familiar sheath-hOrned ruminants
which we know as cattle COX, buffalo,
bisOn), sheep and goats.
The takin has in the adult broad tu-
mid bases to the horns, which nearly
meet in the middle line, and a curva-
ture which is not unlike that presented
by the horns of the gnu. There is,
however, one northern cavicorn-the
musk OK of the arctic circle-which in
the general character of the horns
and limbs, with large lateral hoofs,
presents marked resemblance to the
takin.
It is probable that the takin is an
OffshoOt of the antelope stock which
ultimately produced the musk OK, Just
as the chamOis, the serow and the 60
raj are probably remnants of another
antelope line Of ancestry which gave
rise to the goats and sheep.

"SPARTA OF JAPAN /"
GEN. KUROKI, MILITARY GENIUS
OF MIKADO'S COUNTRY.
Something of Representative of Island
Empire Who Is Now Visiting This
Country-Cescendant of Po-
lish Eobioman.

New York.-In was in 1884 Jhar d
prince of Sweden. whose name Listo-y
does not reveal. visited Japan as
guest Of the nation. \ graduate Of ne
military schools of Europe, the visitor
was reDuted TO be one of the leading
princes of his time in skill as q mill
tary strateg.sJ and tactician. There
was detailed as his escort a quiet
spoken stan officer of the mikado's
army, man with the teciturnity of a
Grant and the .ace of a Sheridan. AS
he was completing his visit the prince
turned to his escort and said:
Il thought l had learned all that
there was to know of tactics and
strategy, but you have shown me that
there was much more knowledge to be
obtained on military matters than can
be had in the schools of Europe TAX
ing your schooling from us you have
greatly improved on everything that
we taught"
The STAFF officer to whom the prince
paid this high compliment was Gen.

rendered such conspicuous service
that Field Marshal Oyama referred to
him as his strong right arm" Gen.

age entered the military service of the
mikadO, and rose grade by grade from
the lower ranks, attaining in 1894 the
rank Of lieutenant general. That was
the year Of Japan's war with China,
and in that conflict KurOki commend
ed the Sixth division of the invading
army. 1t is related that his divis-
ion had been scheduled to be the last
one to be embarked for the invasion
of China, and that KuToH chafed so
much over the inactiOn that he fretted
himself into state of illness. But i'm
mediately the troops were landed and
the smoke of battle began to roll from
the front all of Kurokis illness van
ished and he joyously exclaimed:
"Ah, this makes me we'll again"
From the very beginning of the war
with Russia, Kurogi halted the worlds
attention by the display of his mill
tary skill Then it was that people be-
gan to inquire more closely about this
warrior whose military genius shone
so resplendent. Efforts were made to
trace his origin, and although the in
quirers found little assistance from
the silent soldier, it was finally ascer-
tanned that he was of Polish origin. A
nephew of the general, who was then
pursuing his studies in Europe, wrote
a letter in which he said that Kuroki's
father was a polish nObleman who had
fed from Russia after the revolution
of 1881 This nObleman, whose name
was KOUrOwski, first went to Paris,
afterward to Turkey, later joining the
Holland troops in BOrneo. From Bor-
neO he went to Japan and there mar
ried a japanese. From the union was
born KurOEi, who, because Of the ma
tionalty o. his father, was nicknamed
"The Pole"
1t is said that the general is very
proud of his Polish origin, and that he
has always cherished the dying wish
of his father that his son would some
day be able to take vengeance on the
Russians for their cruel treatment of
unhappy Poland.
KuToki's genius for war was never
more conspicuous than in the great

Kuropatkin threw the whole weight of
his army upon the angle held by Ku-
roki, he should. according to all mill
tary precedent, have destroyed his foe.
But Kuroki not only held the enemy
at bay, but held them long enough for
a supporting column to turn their
flank.
Kuroki's part in the last great bat
tie, that of Mukden, was that of a
fierce and vigorous attack upon the
very strong position that was held by
the Russian center, not with any hope
of carrying it. but in order to force
Kuropatkin to carry out the move
ment which ultimately led to his de-

two Sir Johns in the family. But in
Egypt everybody still speaks of him
as Johnnie" Gorst. He went there
when 26 as an attache, and rose rap
idly through the diplomatic grades.
Great administrative talents and con
spicuous social gifts commended him
to Lord Cromer, and within an extraOr-
, dinarily short time he had become un-
| der secretary to the ministry of
| finance, and again adviser to the min
istry of the interior. Adviser" in Egypt
! is a euphemism for the British official
who is really the boss, but nomfnally
the subordinate of the minister at the
| head of a department. He was finan-
Cial adviser to the Egyptian govern
ment when, in 1908, he was summoned
to London to assist the foreign Office
| in the negotiations which resulted in
| the AnglO-French agreement that so
largely contributed to giving England
free hand in Egypt. His services
were rewarded by giving him one of
| the most responsible positions in the
permanent civil service, that of under
secretary Of state for foreign affairs.
His selection as Lord CrOmer's sue
cessor affords a significant illustration
| of the difference between English and
| American methods in making appoint
ments of great responsibility and DOW
| er. 1t was under a Conservative gov
arnment that Sir EIdOn won distinc-
- hi D T.,
tive. Yet it is a Liberal government
| that makes him the new ruler of
. Egypt The question of his politics is
not taken into consideration. He is
chosen for the task because he seems
the man best fitted to fill the position.
Sir EIdon knows all the ropes in
! Egypt, is personally acquainted with
everybody who counts there and
speaks Arabic and the native dialects
luently. Lord CrOmer has wrought
a marvellous work in Egypt. 1t may
be doubted whether any single states
man has ever accomplished more
striking results in any country. But
it is his very success that renders
all the more necessary, perhaps. a new
and younger head to deal with the
new conditions that result from that
success. For Lord CrOmer has created
nation-a nation which naturally
wants 70 largely run itself With
these aspirations Lord Cromer has no
sympathy. His ideal of Egyptian rule
is that of a benign dictator England
is pledged not to reduce Egypt per
manently to the condition of a protect
ed Indian state. Sooner or later a be
ginning must be made with the work
of teaching Egypt to rule itself. It is
expected that Sir EldOn's administra-
ton will take the direction of paving
the way for some form of constitu-
tiOnal government. 1t is most diff
cult task requiring the utmost tact
firmness and judgment Nothing
would be more fatal than undue haste
Sir EldOn is IS. He has time in
which to make for himself a name
that will rival that of Lord Cromer.
But should he succeed in setting
Egypt on its own legs he will be ex-
posed to the most scathing fire of
hostile criticism while doing it. For
many in England who most loudly
proclaim their patriotism believe that
it is only white races which are fitted
for any measure Of self-goVernment
