The New Pekin.

A correspondent of the London Times
draws a comparative picture of Pekin Il
decade ago, and the progress in the Chi
nese capital today. The following is an
extract from his report:

three railways bring their traffic and

OF the city. The tnkling camel bells

uniforms, rifles and sentry boxes in every
quarter. have consigned il 10 oblivion.
Well paved streets, thanked by brick
drains, now connect all of the principal
gates; the paper lanterns that accentu-
ated the darkness of former days have
been replaced by electric light; scaveng-

Whore Our Heat COmSe From.

An unusually hot day in summer or a
mild one in winter in the United States
IL due. not to an increased amount of
heat received directly from the sun but
TO the transportation of the heated air
from a warmer region. The same is
true of the so-called cold wave This
is brought out clearly in a recent in
vestigation by Prof. Bigclow of the
United States naval observatory. An
increase in solar radiation will add to
the heat of the tropics, but owing to the
fact that it causes an inflow of cold air
from the poles it decreases the tempera-
ture in middle attitudes. All this is
specially true Of countries spreading over
wide continental areas, as the United
States does In an investigation of the
weather records of the whole country
Prof. Bigelow finds that the Pacific
states form really a part of the tropical
system, in which the atmosphere is gen
orally quiet. being free from the great
circular storms characteristic of the rest
of the continent. Thus the eternal sum
mer of southern California is due to the
fact that Just here the tropics thrust
up a calm area into the more turbulent
region miscalled the ''temperate' zone.

Veterinary Science.

A veterinary surgeon is person
mails. In the last decade there has
been keen awakening to the import
ance OF veterinary science and agri-
cultural colleges are adding veterin-
airy department to their curriculums.
4 consideration of the magnitude Of the
live stock industry of the United States
emphasizes the necessity of veterinary
knowledge to safeguard the interests of
animal husbandry and protect the pub
lie health. The valuation of the horses
in the country is recorded at $1,S67,-
$4,000, mules at $41G,939,OOO, mich
cows at S65O,O57 600, other cattle at
$S45,93S, 600, sheep at $211, 10000 and
swine at 1881 100000. The grand total
value of all the live stock in the coun-
try aggregates 81 1881 10000 and repre-
sents such enormous wealth that the
live stock industry can well afford to
pay for the services of skilled veterin-
arians
In all European countries veterinary
science is receiving increased cOnsidera-
ton. The increased value of live stock
and the enlarged protection accorded
the public health has broadened the
sphere Of veterinary science and it now
ranks among the learned professions.
Great Britain Is awakening to the ad-
vantages of raising the standard Of
veterinary science. The imperial gov
eminent has appropriated S150,OC0 for
the Dublin college and will supplement
the grant by an additional $4,000.
The government is spending annually
on the London Veterinary College $780,
600 and a strong effort is being made
to advance the standard of veterinary
education in England.
In nearly every commonwealth there
IS a veterinary state department to in
spect the live stock on the farms and
when 1t discovers animals suffering
from contagious diseases it orders them
destroyed to prevent the spread of con
tagion. The great distributing centers
Of live stock are encouraging higher
veterinary education.

Tho Farm and Farmers.

In diversified farming 1t is essential
that we give due attention to the claims
Of each branch that is being followed
and seek to harmonic them all. We
must select only those branches which
will fit nicely into our scheme of farm
management and eliminate every
waste.
If a man fully intends to gain some
thing by adopting the practice of a soil
robber and buying large farms, cream
ing them and selling to another farm
er, he may succeed in making money.
1t is little wonder that American farm
ers are often GATED soil SINNERS.
They make more money as rule
than the farmer who puts his money
into improvements, for they have more
cash to speculate with But which men
are the most useful 10 their comma
nifty: The one who puts his whole
time and energy into cleaning every
possible dollar from the soil and put
ting it into the savings bank or the
man who improves his property, adds
to the assessment list of his township
and helps to increase the valuation OF
adjoining farms ?-Agricultural Epito-

wood and lumber as well as wheat and

what ten acres yield now. Women will
work out doors as heartily as men: in
fact, they Will be the hortculturists and
the truck gardeners. There will be

and consumer, ignoring horde of mid

lance with the school the Farm will
be valued not only for its gross weight
OF products, but for its poems and its

places for applying as well as acquiring
knowledge, our farm homes will become
integral parts of the garden school and

the home and the school will become
very close. \ valley full of farms is al

THE WHITE MANS GRAVE.
Sierra Leone Looks Attractive in Spite
of Its Bad Name,

Sierra Leone-known to fame as ''The
White Mans Grave'-viewed from the
deck of an incoming steamer presents an
appearance distinctly attractive.
AS to climate, the soubriquet White
Mans Grave" is sufficiently instructive
Suffice it to say that the first of the
daily regimental orders ran thus: "t'uner-
al parade at $50 a. m. tomorrow" and
1t was seldom indeed that the parade was
dismissed for lack of a victim to the
pestiferous climatic conditions. Indeed,
so arduous became the duties of sepul-
chre that whereas it was customary in
the beginning for the entire regiment and
band to attend, only the company of the
deceased and the firing party did so later
on.
Sierra Leone is infested with snakes,
large and small. The former are of the
constructor species; the latter are all ex-
tremely venomous. The most deadly Of
ell perhaps is the yellow jack, beauti-
full yellow and black reptile whose bite
is reputed to prove fatal within a space
of twenty minutes.-W estchester County

Hints to EGG Men,

Eggs are generally regarded as
cheaper food than the higher priced
meats, but at cents apiece this is
hardly true of them. There Is nothing
else on the farm neglected to the same
extent as the poultry yard, It's popu-
lation is expected to largely shift for
itself both as TO food and other com
forts OF life. Yet there Is hardly any
thing else connected with the industry
that will SO well reward special care
and pains. The egg and poultry bust
ness is not half developed The demand
still largely exceeds the supply. With
our limitless opportunities we import
eggs by the million and even then lack
enough to 50 around Boston Tran

A HOLE IN HIS COFFIN.

the wearing of his queue.
Col Butler insisted on wearing his
hair in the old fashioned style in dis
obedience to Wilkinson's orders Accord
ing to Pierce Butler in his recently pub
lished biography of Judah L. Benjamin.
while the dispute was still raging Butler
died and left directions that hole
should be bored in the head of his cof-
fin and that he should be borne to the
grave with his triumphant pigtal pro-
truding in defiance. The family tradit IN
is that these directions were carried out.
