RARE OLD PAPERS EXHIBITED

Greek and Latin languages. There
are also six Greek manuscripts dat.
ing back as far as 1860
One of the most priced maps in the
collection is a chart of western Eu-
rope which was made by Joan Mar
tines in 1888. 1t is believed to have
been secured from one of the Spanish
vessels IN the Armada by the vlcto-
rlous Admiral Howard, who gave it to
Lord Burley In 1895.
There is also a large reproduction
of map which is said to be the most
valuable in existence. This chart is
the first In which the word America"
is used, and is one of the first at.
tempts to show the topography of
North America. The original was
drawn by Martin Waldseemuller In
1907, and is now In the possession Of
Prince Francis OF Waldburg- Wolfegg
The value of the chart, together with
another one made by Waldseemuller
is placed by Prince Francis at $780,.

American Who Started on Small
Scale in Islands Is Rapidly
Growing Wealthy.

Manila.-Three years ago an Amer
ican landed in Manila with a capital
Of S75 and a theory. The American
was j. II. Christen the capital was
cash and the theory was that any
able-bodied man with the right stuff
in him could make more than a bare
living out Of Gods green earth,
coupled with steady, hard work, ir.
respective of country, people or ell
mate. There were plenty of people
here to tell him, both In an official
and unofficial capacity, that farming
on a small scale and without capital
was impossible for a foreigner in the
Philippine Islands, but Christen stuck
to his theory, and as result has a
property valued at more than $4,000,
which is now beginning to yield vel
vet" as the saying is. The story Of
Mr.. Christen's success is interesting
in that It shows some of the difIlcul.
ties that the American pioneer In the
agricultural field over here has to con.
tend with.
Mr.. Christen first took up a home
stead of forty acres, the limit allowed
by law, on the Polillo river, in Rial
Province. He built house with his
own hands and planted out crops OF
garden truck. The crops were COM
ing along nicely when a food of Oc-
tober 20, 1907, devastated the sur
rounding country and ruined every
plant on his place Instead of giving
up, then and there, as many others
would have done, Mr.. Christen made
an application to the bureau Of lands
to have his homestead rights trans
ferred to another tract of land, and
the application being granted, he
moved to a tract on Tain Island, in
Rizal Province, situated in Cuso Can
yon. He chose this locality because
the hills surrounding It seemed to Of

During the first year he worked on
an average sixteen hours each day

he weighed 219 pounds At the end

How to Select Right Kind Of
Breed of Animals.
Ansorss Not Good as MIX Producers
and Animals From Pyrenees Are
Considered Best-Millanalse
10 Leader.

Los Angeles, Cal-Mrs NJ. H. Wat.
fous writes as follows concerning the
goat industry:
The following facts relative to the
keeping of goats for profit we're OBJ
tained directly from owners; per
sons not merely supporting pets, but
gaining either an abundance OF rich
milk and cream for their own use or
else an entire living from the sale of
these greatly desired commodities.
OF course, there are different kinds
OF goats, at various prices, and the
first thing a beginner should deter
mine is exactly or approximately how
much he is willing to pay for an ami
NAL and how much he expects to
make on his investment
In this country milk is the fore
most-in most cases the exclusive
consideration in the keeping of goats,
and this will be the only profit esti-
mated in this article. Therefore, the
intending purchaser who wants to
make money should not waste II on a
large number Of inferior animals, each
Of which gives only two or three
quarts OF milk a day, yet consumes,
as a herd, more than Onethird or one
fourth what the same number of first
class milchers would Buy If posi-
BILE, from some one who imports goats.
There are three such persons in Cali
fornia; one in Pasadena, another in
Santa Monica, and a third in San
Jose. Remember one thing; no mat
ter what may be said in praise of An
goras. they are not the goats for milk.
As importation is a tedious process
because the goats are held in quar-
antine for six months at New York
those who furnish the money for
that purpose order only the best
breeds, and they are the persons
whose advice should be needed. 1t
will be economical to pay for instruc-
ton by letter from such II an inter
view be out of the question, as there
is nothing like starting Alright in q
business.
The Millanaise from the Pyrenees
are the best goats of all. They can
DO bought in Switzerland for FIVE to
ten dollars apiece, but by the time
New York is done with them we have
to pay $145 for each one; but none
furnish less than a gallon Of milk a
day, while some give six quarts or
even two gallons. Then, too, this
beauty presents its owner with four
kids at a time instead OF only one or
two, as an ordinary goat does. An
other thing, the common variety, and
even most of the Angoras, have an un-
pleasant odor; the very milk OF the
Mexican animal smells rather strong;
but the high-breds OF foreign extrac-
ton are never offensive. They are
cleanly In every respect.
Prices run down from the high mark
mentioned to as low as $40 or less
per goat; but newborn kid of the
high class kind win bring $40; sac
for the quartet Of one birth, as against
one or two dollars apiece for the

Aver Collection Of Books and Maps
Worth 100000 Are Presented to
Newberry Library.

Chicago.-The romance Of mediae-
val times and the dim beginnings"
OF North American history have been
transplanted to the west wing Of the
Newberry library, where over 5000
maps and manuscripts made by the
first explorers of the new world were
placed on exhibition. They are all
from the Aver collection, which was
given to the library by Edward b.
Aver. Many Of the parchments are
over 400 years old.
Mr.. Aver spent nearly thirty years
in getting the collection together. A
conservative estimate places the
value at over 100000.
One OF the most interesting divi-
slons OF the exhibit is the Claudius
Ptolemy collection, which Mr.. Aver
purchased from Henry Stevens Of
London. This contains sixty-one vol
.umes, which are said to be among
the first books ever printed in the
