Remarkable Will.
— Count Victor Bawarowski, of Lem¬
berg, who committed suicide in his
study about three weeks iigo, lias, the
Vienna correspondent of the London
News tells us, left a remarkable will.
He declares that his brother is not to
inherit anything from him. His solo
heir is to be Galicia, but his fortune
is to be left untouched until it
amounts in value to 20,000,000 flor¬
ins, when it is to be devoted to the
foundation of literary academies,
schools of pain ing, etc., in Cracow,
WParnapol and Lemberg. If there is
■ anything to prevent these institutions
■ from being founded, the property is
* to be divided equally between the
British Museum in London and tho
Institute in Paris. The Count died
worth about 6,000,000 florins in
.i^cney and land.

Five months ago her father went

administrator of iier estate, as it was
known that she had about .$1,509 in
a local savings bank. The other day
there was a hearing jn tiie matter, but
further proceedings were stopped by
the appearance in court of the young
lady herself. During these seven years
she had been employed as a domes¬
tic in an East end family and had
.kept her identity concealed. She
gave as a resaon for her action that

Young lambs coming into the world

barrels in this way, each for a differ

HOW TO CARKT FOWLS.
“There are things in the world that
have to be done that may seem cruel
and heartless. For these there is, of
course, some time honored excuse or
reason for their being,” said a man
who is interested in the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals Society, “For
some time I have been annoyed at
the practice, so common in many lo¬
calities, oi carrying fowls by their
feet. It is no unusual thing to seo a
marketman or boy carrying a number
of fowls in this way, the poor things
struggling in vain to get their heads
up so that they can breathe. Everyone
that I have spoken to about it seems
to think that is a necessary method,
but with this idea 1 do not agree. All
birds should be carried in baskets or
boxes, and never with all the blood of
their bodies pouring into their heads.
The conditions of health are all vio¬
lated by this practice, and I would
not eat a chicken that had been
brought from market in such a posi¬
tion.
“Many persons when purchasing
fowls to keep, will tie a number of
them together in this way, and it is
almost always the case that they are
disappointed in the quality of their
purchase. The hens will not lay, or
they are sick, or droop around and
amount to nothing. Then the pur¬
chaser fancies himself cheated and
makes a fuss. If he would for a mo¬
ment take into consideration that
these creatures have had their lives
put in peril and their entire systems
upset by the unnatural position in
which they have been carried, they
might account for unsatisfactory re

“Certainly, r .if the health ' of the
fowls had notiling to do with the
case, the practice is unnecessary,
cruel and thoughtless in the ex
treme.”—New York Ledger.
THE COW-TAIL HOLDER.
Persons whose avocation lies partly
in milking cows are well aware of the
great annoyance caused by the animal
switching her tail about promised
ously, notably in fly time. The an
noyance is multiplied in case the tail
is dirty,or wet,which is very often the
case. The end of the tail either takes
the milker in the face or neck or
flirts into the milk pail; perhaps both
events happen. is
The present device, which here
illustrated, has been patented by Mr.
Joseph Cooper, of Racine, Wis. It is
the most rationally constructed de
vice for the purpose that has yet been
contrived, being effective and con
venient to a great degree. It is also
very simple to manufacture. A strip
of elastic sheet metal is bent to form
a circle, the meeting extremities being

clasp, the free ends projecting to form
handies, the compression of which
within the hand cra«p opens the clasp
points well apart and allows the de
vice to be slipped on the tail, and
then the rounded parts are allowed to
close within the deep recesses of the
ga«L>?d >iat, where the tase se
cure hold. Tho operation is very
easy, and will effectually confine the
tail during the milking operation.

THE DUCK RAISING BUSINESS.
Tbo duck-raising business is tin
doubtodly still in its infancy, though
it must be admitted to have made great
strides within the past few years. Or¬
iginally confined to only a few, it has
spread rapidly through many parts of
the East and is extending into tho
West as farmers understand better the
details of the business and the satis¬
factory returns it makes.
Nobody denies that there is money
in chickens if skillfully mauaged and
marketed; but those who have tried it
find there is much more in ducks. Tho
latter require less care, are much freer
from disease and insects than chickens,
and their quick maturity enables the
rapid turning over of money. In ad¬
dition to these must he noted the
higher market price.
Although ducks will lay an occa¬
sional egg during the winter months,
yet they do not regularly start in un¬
til February. They will then continue
to lay for about five months, with a
few brief intermissions, 150 eggs per
annum being a good average. In
mating, one drake to six ducks is suf¬
ficient. As they lay for a long time
before becoming broody, incubator it is neces¬
sary to employ au or a lieu
for the earliest broods. For that mat¬
ter, many duck-raisers employ hens
exclusively for this part of the busi¬
ness, as they make better mothers than
ducks and are less clumsy in their
movements. Duck eggs require
twenty eight days for hatching. The
young ducks should not be fed until
they are twenty-four hours old. Their
first meal should consist of hard boiled
eggs mixed with oatmeal, or stale
bread crumbs soaked in milk. After
a few days they may be given scalded
cornmeal or mashed boiled potatoes
fed warm. Grass, clover and other
green food should also be fed, os well
as kitchen waste. Greens of some kind
are an absolute necessity to ducks.
Dampness is particularly fatal to
young ducks and must be carefully
guarded against. Plenty of fresh
water must be supplied them for
drinking purposes, but in such a ves¬
sel as to prevent their getting wet.
They Bhould be kept away from all
ponds until fully fledged. After this
access t° water promotes cleanliness
and health,
DuckB of all a 8 es are m “ ch heartier
uaf eIS than chickens, . but theil gain is
proportion, and they are ready for
market long before, so that the cost of
production per pound is no more They and
tho returns are more rapid. are
litfcle troubled with lice, if proper
oaro ka8 been taken to keep the
mother hon free from these pests,
T b eir chief troubles are cramps, leg
weakness and indigestion. The first
two are due to damp quarters or over¬
feeding, while the indigestion, which
shows itself by froth in the eyes, pur¬
ple mandibles, etc., result from too
much uncooked grain. Sudden death
is usually attributed to large lice.
Ducks require no roosts, but the
floor of their houses should be well
covered with cut straw and the litter
frequently renewed. The droppings
of the ducks make excellent manure.
Many people object to duck-raising on
the plea that they make everything
m.udciy and filthy. While there is
some truth in this tho birds them¬
selves are much cleaner than chickens
and the work of caring for them is
lighter and less offensive. Those who
have once gone into the business stay
in it and generally do less grumbling
than other folks.
I am not advising everybody to quit
chickeu-raising and go in for ducks;
but I do think every farmer should
keep a few, and after ho has gained
experience and found his market he
can start in on a more extended scale
if the prospect is encouraging, as it
generally is. But to make money in
these days it is essential to stop all
leaks, to learn the quickest and cheap¬
est method of doing effective work
and to cut down expenses to the mini¬
mum. These points are as necessary
for the duck-raiser to remember and
observe as they are for the manufac¬
turer or merchant.—New York World.

inarching victoriously through Chinn.
In respect to quantity no difference is
observable, though it would be diffi¬
cult to draw a line ontbi» point owing
to the fact that the Japanese are iur
nished with food in kind altogether
dissimilar. The staple of their diet
is rice, which, for the sake of con¬
venience, is made up into bftlls. It is
first cooked aud then compressed by
means of appliances shaped operated somewhat
like lemon-squeezers, and on
a like principle. Thus a considerable
amount of the vegetable is condensed
into comparatively Bniftll compass. soldiers in
This rice is eaton by the
various ways. Most commonly it is
put into a pot with hot water and
thus snbjeoted to a process it .of recook¬
ing, in the course of which expands
to perhaps lour times its compressed
bulk. The balls, which aro about as
big as one’s two fists, are sometimes
cut into slices, and the latter are
roasted. When there is »o Rro at
hand, or time is short, the Hoe balls
may be cut up and consumed without
further preparation, being already
cooked and in wholesome condition.
While ou the moroh, the Japanese
soldiers subsist almost wholly on rice,
dried fish and canned filled meat. ord<?r Recently for

The ration for a soldier in the Uni¬
ted States Army considerably exceeds
what is necessary for the support of a
man. It consists for each day of
twelve ounces of pork, or bacon, or
canned beef, and eighteen ounces of
soft bread or flour. Instead of tl.e
meat allowances mentioned, the ;!>l
dier may have twenty ounces of fresh
beef, or twenty-two ounces of salt
beef. In place of the bread or flour,
he may have twenty ounces of corn
meal or sixteen ounces of hard brekd.
But this is not nil. For every VKl
men Uncle Ham allows daily fifteen
pounds of beans or peas, eight
pounds of roasted coffee, fifteen
pounds of sugar, four quarts of vine
gar, four pounds of soap, four pounds
of salt, four ounces of pepper am? a
pound and a half of candles. If iho
ferred, ten pounds of green coffee tray
bo had instead of eight pounds of
roasted coffee, or two pounds of tea

for troops in tho field is the same,

soldiers have a good many luxuries for
the table without expense to them
selves. These they procure chiefly in
two ways. As a rule they do not draw
from tho commissary department
nearly all of the rations allowed.
What is left over is bought back by
the Government. This means that the
men get the money value of the stuff
instead, and with this cash they buy
whatever they want in the way of de¬
licacies for the mess. Whereas one
man, or two or three together, might
easily use up the whole of tho rations
allowed, the expenditure per man is
greatly diminished when a whole com
pany has a mess together, and the *v
ing is proportionate. The case re
bate above referred to is termed “com
pany savings.”
The other way in which the soldiers
get money to spend on delicacn is
through the post “canteen.” This is
a sort of club, managed by the officers
of the post for the benefit of the men.
It is a restaurant aud also a shop at
wfcich mau J things are sold, though
‘he chief sale is that of beer. The War
Department would prefer that the sol
diers should not drink beer, but they
are bound to drink something, and
beer is much less harmful than whi-ikv.

Spitted ou an Iron Rod.
“Because he is alive and well to¬
day,” said an operator in the northers
district of the Pennsylvania oil Held,
“Henry J. Button is a greater wonder
to the oil country than a 25,000-barrel
spouting well would be. Lutton is an
oil well derrick builder. About three
months ago he was putting up a der¬
rick for Frank Rockwell, one of tho
biggest operators in our district, at
Clarendon. The derrick stood ou a
hillside. Lutton was at work at the
foot of the derrick, and stood ou au
elevation four feet or so above tho
ground. In some way an iron bar or
rod, three-quarters of an iueh thick
and over twenty feet long, a part of
tho mechanism of an oil well rig, fell
from tho top of the derrick, seventy
five feot above the ground. One end
of this long iron struck Lutton ou the
right side of the neck. Passing be¬
tween his jugular vein and bis wind¬
pipe, it plowed its way diagonally
through the flesh ou Lntton’s elicit
and came out below tho left nipple.
Striking his left leg just below the
groin, the rod shot, downward beneath
the flosli, emerging again above the
knee joiut. Ou its further way down
tho rod severed Lntton’s left middle
toe and carried it. along with it nearly
a foot into the ground.
“Lutton is a six-footer aud over,
and naturally "’ell covered with flesh.
That the heavy iron, when it struck
him ou the neck, did not knock him
down shows what strength the man
had. Nearly ten feet of the rod passed
through him in its course, ft foot and
a half of it being through his neck
and body, and about two feet, through
his log. When Lutton found himself
thus spitted by the iron and pinned to
tlio ground ho actually slid down tho
rod from where he stood to the ground
and shouted to a follow workman, who
ran to his aid and pulled the rod out,
a feat of strength which is a wonder
and mystery not only to him, but to
everybody else, too. Lutton was car¬
ried home, where he lay nearer dead
than alive for six weeks. Then ho be¬
gan to mend, and in throe weeks more
was ablo to be arouuJ. He says ho
will bo as good as new in a couple of
weeks. And that’s why Henry J. Lot

The, Onion oi 1 he Crnsa'.era.
The baskets of shallots ou the buck
sters’ stalls in our great markets are
taken by tho average marketer to l.e
ordinary onions. No doubt many a
worthy person has wondered why imir
ketmen sold red onions by the quart
basket like strawberries. The shallot,
however, though a near cousin to tho
onion, is not au onion, but much more
valuable vegetable, selling for about
five times as much as a regular onion,
and it is so excellent for certain sauces
that all that are brought to market
find ready sale. The shallot has a
: mild onion flavor peculiar to itself. It
is the onion of Palestine, which was
introduced into Europe by the Crusa
ders, who found it growing on the
plains of Ascalon— whence tl.e name
