Indications point to an inter esting contest over the estate of Charles Fair, who, with his wife was killed in au automobile acci dent in France a few days ago. It is estimated that Mr. Fair’s es tate is worth somewhere between $5,000,000 to 810,000.000, and that Mrs. Fair’s estate is worth about $4000,000. Mrs. Fair has numerous heirs, and it is stated that they have al ready taken steps to claim the es tate of Mr. Fair, who has only two heirs, his sisters, one of them being Mrs. H. Oelrichs and the other Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr. Everything depends upon, wheth er Mr. or Mrs. Fair died first. Of course if Mr. Fair died first his wife inherited a big share of his estate, even if there were no will. If he made a will, and it is un derstood he did, the probability is that he left the bulk of his for- tune to her, and if she survived him even for a few moments the will became operative and her heirs would receive a very hand some property. It is not to be wondered at "therefore that the heirs of Mrs. Fair are early in the field with their claim that Mr. Fair died first. But if Mrs. Fair died first none of Mr. Fair’s millions will go to Mrs. Fair’s heirs. His property will all go to his two sisters. The information thus far received shows that both were killed in stantly. There is absolutely no testimony that one died before the other. If it cannot be shown that one survived the other, even a half a minute, or even less time, it will be assumed that Mr. Fair lived the longer. This would 1 be in accordance with the law of Cal ifornia, which is bassed upon the presumption that a man, as a rule, is stronger than a woman. ’ There is a chance for a big fight over Mr. Fair’s estate, and it is highly probable that the fight will be made. The two persons who saw Mr. and Mrs. Fair after the accident in which they were killed may have to travel all the way from France to Colifornia to be come witnesses, and may furnish the newspapers with some sensa tional items. Nickels and Pennies. Corn Row 25 Miles Long. Kansas is simply inexhaustible in the matter of oddities. JuBt when it might be supposed that she had run the whole gamut, she appears with another novelty such as nobody else in all the wide world would ever have thought of. For example, re marks the Kansas City Star, a Kingman County farmer is grow ing a row of corn a little moro than twenty-five miles long, for no other reasbn than to be singu lar and extraordinary. He com menced in a fifty-acre field and went round and round in a circle with a lister until he had planted the whole in a single row which commences at one of the edges and terminates in the middle. When he cultivated it, of course, he had to plow the same way. As appearances go the field will make as much crop as it would if plant ed in the ordsnary way. -*-•-«»—^— There are some women who seem to be perennially youthful. The grown daughters are companions as well as children, and the color in the mother’s cheeks,the bright ness in her eyes, the roundness of her form, all speak of abounding health. What is her secret? She is at the middle age of li£e when so many women are worn, wasted and faded, and yet time has only.i ripened her charms. The secret of this matronly health and beau ty may be told in the brief phrase, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. The general health of woman is so intimately reiated to the local health of the delicate womanly organs,, that where these are dis eased, the whole body must suf fer. “Favorite Prescription”dries the debillitating drains, heals ul ceration and inflation, cures fe male weakness and imparts to the delicate female organs natural vi gor and vitality. Women who have lost their health and their beauty have been made “robust and rosy cheeked” by the use of I this marvelous medicine. j Subscribe for the Home Journal Bradstreets learn that the'Unit- ed States treasury during the year ended June 80 turned out 79- fill,148 cents and 26,480,218 nick els. Massachusetts took 5.000,- 000 cents, Pennsylvania 4,000,000, Illinoise 7,000,000, and New York state nearly 10,000,000. These are the great cent using states aud stand yi the same order as to con sumption of nickels. Ten years ago pennies were little used in California and the south,and were unknown things in Nevada, Wyo ming and Arizoua. Up to date Uncle Sam has turned out 1,100,- 000,000 cents, 840,000,000 nickels, 100,000,000 dimes, 200,000,000 quarters aud 150,000,000 half-dol lars. Years ago the government issued 4.500,000 bronze two-cent pieces, and of these over 3,000,- 000 are outstanding. The same is true of the nickel three-cent pieces, of which nearly 2,000,0001 are unaccounted for. Slot ma chines, penny newspapers and the odd prices in dry good shops have increased the demand for coppers. Cents and nickels wear out pretty rapidly because they are constant ly passing from hand to hand,and the immense number of them that pour into the treasury at Wash ington are carefully assorted for the purpose of picking out those which are too much damaged to be fit for further use. The life of a cent is only four or five years. Cents are subject £to more acci dents than any other coins, and the treasury has to go on turning out new ones at the rate of 60,- 000,000 to 90,000,000 a year. The cent is a barometer of business conditions. A heavy storm or a sudden coming of cold weather— anything in short, that keeps the penny-spending part of the popu lation at home—is reflected in the falling off of the cents coming to the subtreasuries for exchange. During periods ol dullness cents accumulate at sub-treasuries, but when trade revives they begin to circulate rapidly again. It will be a great day for the traveling public when the steam locomotive is put out of commis sion, and this desideratum is in a fair way of. being realized. The New York Central is to substitute electricity for steam on its trains within a radius of thirty miles from New York. As steam en gines wear out, they are to be re placed by electric motors. > _®_4 The Philadelphia Record says: “One thing is ' clear with refer ence to William Jennings Bryan and that is that the Republican press of the country is working him for all he is worth as a means of attracting attention away from the delinquencies of their own party and of fanning anew the embers of strife among Democrats.” The following explanatory note accompanied a young man’s wed ding gift to a friend: ,‘My Dear Girl: You will find in the box a thingamajig which has something to do with eating. It’s a cross be tween a harpoon and a hayfork. It may be for spearing pickles or stack ing chopped cabbage. Anyway, you will be so happy that you won’t care.” British soldiers who have been serving in South Africa are apply ing in great numbers for enlist ment in the American army for service in the Philippines.

Something About Fowls. The introduction of Asiaticrbred fowls into the United States ha*^ great influence for good among our Ameri can fowls. The Shanghai, or original Cochin, brought increased size and bet ter egg production and their use as a cross upon the common barnyard fowls created a desire for more and better poultry. The promiscuous mix ing of these new and highly esteemed fowls laid the foundation for all of our so-called American breeds. The Brahma was the first breed credited to us as an American produc tion, anad though classed as ah Asi atic fowl, they are the outcome of great skill :n breeding. The Plymouth Rocks are.great fa vorites with chicken fanciers because of their constitutional vigor. They prosper where any other fowl can live and thrive under all conditions that are at all suitable for fowls. Our present type of the Plymouth Rock is the outcome of a careful hand ling of fowls by the mating of Rose- comb American Dominique males with single comb black Java females. Those having the best color and single comb among those produced were se lected and bred together, and thence was the start of the present perfected fowl. Breeds allied to the. Plymouth Rocks are the Jersey Blue and the Rhode Island Red. But we have not time to go into full descriptions of all these varieties. What has been said is only to show that there Is In poultry raising great room for the exercise of skill. Breeders of poultry in Georgia do not generally need the close houses that are found in higher latitudes. During the winter they may be used to advantage. But at all seasons thor ough ventilation is an absolute neces sity. The roof of a chicken house should be close enough to keep out the rain, and all its sides, except the south, should be close enough to exclude the cold winds. Do not let the fowls be exposed to draughts of air. Be careful to protect the roosts against such draughts. The floor of a chicken house should be frequently sprinkled with diluted sulphuric acid, which should be carefully handled to avoid injury to the clothing or persons of those applying it. In Georgia fowls are healthier, If left to roost in the trees during the sum mer. Birds free to roam find their susten ance from seeds, green vegetable mat ter and insects. If confined within narrow limits $hey must be supplied with what they desire and need, by the foresight and provident care of the owner. Otherwise the fowls will suffer privation and become unprofit able for either eggs or flesh. PENNSYLVANIA. PURE RYE, EIGHT YEARS OLD.
