Ownership of Land Aecretion.

The title of an owner of land to any accretions to the land was the ques- tion presented to the supreme court of appeals of Virginia in Eggborn vs. Smith, in which interesting decisions on the point involved are cited. In the Virginia case the plaintiffs husband for consideration permitted a rail. road company to deposit rock and earth on land owned by him during double-tracking work, under contract that all such material not removed be. fore the work was completed should remain permanently. The owner exc cuted a deed of trust of the land with. out serving the material so deposited but on the day the property was sold under foreclosure of the trust deed he attempted to convey the material as personally to the complainant The court found that the complainant had made no claim to the property until five years after it's deposit, when it was overgrown with vegetation, and held that the material was realty and not personal property. and passed to the purchaser on foreclosure of the trust deed."

PREPARE MEAT FOR SHIPMENT
South American Frisorificos Will Soon Be Turning Out an Immense
 Supply of Food.

A frigorifico is freezing plant in South America. It is a plant that freezes fat cattle or sheep or lambs and sends them in refrigerated ships northward to Europe. Perhaps later they will send them to the United States.
 On the Island of Tierra del Fuego, far south to the jumping of place, sheep get very fat on the good grass. Incredible as 1t may seem, short time ago fine fat sheep were boiled down for their tallow. Now a mod. ern frigorifico is prepared to kill them and send them north of the equator. There is another of these newly erect ed frigorificos at Rio Gallegos. an other little way up the coast at San Julian and other new ones are at Bahia Blanca.
 These frigorificos make possible the directing of great stream of good lamb and mature mutton northward and we here may expect to see it come, sooner or later. Cattle are not killed at these southern frigorifcos, but farther north, near Buenos Aires and in Uruguay are great establish. ments that kill chiefly cattle. To faeili tate the getting of sheep to the frigorificos the government Is build ing the Patagonia state railways, lead. ing to the interior.-Breeders' Gazette

CALLED LOW CLASS OF ART
Sweeping indictment of MUSIC ~ Which Song Home, Sweet Home
 Has Been Set.

Though the oldest piece of Engiisn music in existence, Summer is icu- men in' is quite modern in comparr son with a score of the "Orestes' or Euripides. dating from the fourth cen tury B. C., which was exhibited at the international exhibition of music at Vienna some years ago. Even more ancient is the chant The Blessing or the Priest" which was sung ln the temple of Jerusalem before the captiV' ity, and is still in use in the Jewlsh synagogues in Spain and Portugal.
 Home, Sweet Home"-the song or homeless American-Once moved ROD ert Louis Stevenson to an outburst or passionate protest But it was the music rather than the words that reused his indignation. You will ind the passage in Across the Plains' |; I have no idea whether musically this air is to be considered good or bad; but it belongs to that class of art which may best be described as bru' tai assault upon the feelings. Pathos must be relieved by dignity of treat ment, declares an English writer. If you wallow naked in the pathetic, like the author of Home, Sweet Home, you make your hearers weep in an un manly fashion, and even yet while they are moved they despise them selves and hate the occasion of theil weakness.

Honor Man Struck by Liahtnlna.

Honor Man Struck by Lightning.
 To be struck by lightning is still a most lucky thing for the Greek peas ant-if he is not killed. Such a man, says J. c. Lawson, may indulge a taste for idleness for the rest of his life-his neighbors will support him and enjoy at the same time the rep utation of being something more than human" This is an inheritance from ancient days. Artemidorus, an au. thority on occult matters who flourish, ed in the time of Marcus Aurelius, commented on the fact that while 6 place was struck by lightning had an altar erected upon 1t. and was thence forth both honored and avoided, no one who has been struck by light ming is excluded from citizenship; in. deed, such a one is honored even as a god" The election of Quintus Ju- Illus Eburnus to the consulship in 116 B. c. Is attributed to his having been favored thus by the gods.

-onQ-llved Mines and Prof7ts

Are long-lived mines more profitable than short-lived ones? The average investor would consider this foolish question, assuming naturally that the longer mine lasts the greater the ac. cumulated profits.
 Just about the contrary is the case. The figures supplied by the mines de. partment of Johannesburg, where the regularity of deposits on the Rand makes it possible to guage the lives of mines with accuracy, should convince the skeptic that owing to compound in. terest a long life does not add to the value of mine to the extent common. !y assumed.-Engineering and Mining Journal.

paraffin Oil is added to the backing OF

A raincoat may be kept looking like
new even in muddy weather. To clean it,
first dip it in cold water which has been
softened by bOrax: then lay it out flat
and smooth upon the kitchen table, and
with a scrubbing brush and good laun-
dry soap give it hard scrubbing. When
the dirt Is removed, dip 1t in clean water
and rinse it several times; then. without
wringing, hang the coat in the air to
drip and dry. Hot water, of course
must never be used on a raincoat.
White coque and ostrich feathers may
be cleaned in hot soapsuds. which will
restore them to their original pure fresh
wilderness. Fill a bowl with hot water
and make the suds with some good white
soap Shake the feathers up and down
many times, then drain off the water and
repeat the process again, using hot, soapy
water. After several changes rinse the
feathers in clear hot water. again drain

dragged look of the feathers after their
bath. Remember that the fowl from
which they were plucked was accustomed
to the rain; and that the feathers will
return to their former beauty as soon
as dry. The fuffiness will come back
when the feathers have been thoroughly
heated. for they must be dried by being
held over a fire. stove. register or steam
radiator. They must be carefully and
constantly shaken while drying as while
being washed.
