Three llrotliers Shot lo Ilenlli lit Knnnao in Presence of Their Mother. A few mornings ago the city of Anthony, Kan., was tho scene of a most tragic affair. Aliout two months ago a fight occurreil in the village of Danville, near Anthony, between three brothers named Weaver and a man named A dels heard. The * r was fatally rvounded, aud the " er boys were arrested and buried away to avoid mob vio ence. They were re- turned to Anthony for trial, but their cases were continued for the term, with bail fixed at $10,000 each. At 1 o'clock a. m., the other surrounded morning, a mob of forty armed men the residence of the under Sheriff, guard. where The the prisoners were prisoners the guard at once rushed the out of back door and iuto the basement of the new school building. The Sheriff was taken prisoner by themob, when the deputies, finding it useless to resist, sur¬ rendered. The three brothel's fought for their lives with a revolver which they had taken from one of the deputies. Th J were finally overpowered and dis- arm Ropes were placed about tbeir necks and preparations were made to hang them, but other officers hurryiug to the rescue frightened shots the mob, into so they fired fifteen or twenty each of the brothers, literally shooting them to pieces. The lynch¬ ers then hastily mounted their horses and rode rapidly away. The mother of the l>oys and the wife of one of them witnessed the entire tragedy. Much in a Name.

He shows nil actual profit of $45 from one duck and of $1,575 from thirty-five ducks. As a poultry journal commenting on the fact truthful- ly says, that it is more than is made from a herd of dairy cows and the capital required is much less. ’ Particulars which were obtained from this gentleman showed that his adult flock consists of thirty-five ducks, and the profit averaged $45 for each, lie uses the Pekins, but thinks a cross be tween that breed and the Aylesbury su¬ perior to either. His adult ducks are allowed a large trough, through which fresh water constantly flows, This is used for bathing purposes. The number of eggs last year was 140 from each duck. The*eggs were hatched in his incuba¬ tors, from which 3,000 ducklings were raised to the age of from eight to ten weeks anil marketed, tho price received^ in the Boston market being 30 cents a pound for those that came in early and 18 cents a pound for these that were late, the average price being 22 cents a pound. The cost of raising each duckling to the age of eight weeks was 5 cents a pound. His profit was thus 17 cents a pound, and as the 3,000 ducklings produced 12,000 pounds of meat their yield was over $2,000. Other expenses such as quarters, attendance, etc., reduced his • prbiits to $1,575. The young ducks had no access to water except for drinking purposes and were fed in the same man- ] ner as chicks, except that they required more animal food. It was found also that each duckling yielded from an ounce to two ounccb of feathers, which sell for 50 cents a pound. Each adult duck laid 140 eggs aud began to lay when five months old. The best prices, 30 cents a pound, were obtained about the middle of May, decreasing to 18 cents in July. They weighed per pair one pound a week for each week’s growth when eight weeks old, or four pounds each, gaining a pound a week. They were raised in brooders, but were carefully watched, fed often and kept warm. Bound to Remain Single. Black—AVhy don’t you get married, White?

A correspondent of the London Tiinei who accompanied the expedition to Bur- mab, writes as follows: We sighted tho ruins of Pagau early on the 23d. These remarkable ruins extend for more than eight miles along the eastern bank of the Irrawaddy, and average two miles in breadth. In this space there are the re¬ mains of between 900 and 1,000 temples and pagodas, some of them in tolerable preservation, and many of them of grqpt size and magnilicence. The site of the city is covered with jungle, and the vast assemblage of buildings towring above the surrounding trees, and stretching as far as the eye can reach, is singularly im¬ pressive. The oldest of the Pagan tem¬ ples are supposed to date from about the year 850, and the city reached the zenitb of its power and prosperity about the time of the Norman conquest of England. In 1824 the city was almost completely destroyed during the Chinese invasion of Burmah. Then the king of Pagan pulled down an enormous number of temples— some chronicles state as many as 4,000— and used the materials in strengthening the ramparts of the city. When the in¬ vaders captured it they completed the destruction. Perhaps the most remarka¬ ble of the great temples in Pagan is tho Ananda, which is still used as a place of worship. In plan it is a square of 200 feet to the side, broken on each side by the projection of large gable vestibules, which convert the plan into an almost per¬ fect Greek cross. The central pinnacle reaches to the height of 168 feet. Anoth¬ er of the great temples of Pagan is the Thapinyu, the spire of which rises to the height of 201 feet above the ground and overtops all the other monuments. The Gauda Palen temple, dating from 1160, rises to a height of 180 feet. Being near* er the river than either the Ananda or Thapanyu it is very conspicious when ap¬ proaching Pagan, as we did, from the southward. Gleaming in its white plas¬ ter, with numerous pinnacles and a tall, central spire, it seemed, when we first sighted it, like a distant glimpse of Milan cathedral. Many of the ruins at Pagan are so unlike all other Burmese buildings that it has been suggested by some author¬ ities that these buildings are due to the skill of a western Christuin or missionary. How Gotham Grows. Considering that last year was not one of the best for money making, New York did pretty well in that line, having laid up 137,000,000 or so by increase in the value of real estate. The gain was greater in some previous years, but |37,- 000,000 is not bad for dull times. There docs not seem to be much danger of Chi¬ cago getting ahead of Gotham just yet, except in miscellaneous cussedness, and New York threw up the sponge in that matter some time ago. There biis lately been some random talk about Chicago ul¬ timately taking away the bulk of the dry goods trade from both New York and Boston, but dry goods men in both cities say it is all fool-talk and that the trade increases in each city every year. The steady and rapid growth of New York is not fully known even by New Yorkers themselves. Very few of them have any idea of how fust the new part of the city, the section north of the Harlem river, is filling up. That section is almut as largo as the original Manhattan Island, and much of it is now as closely built as liar- lern was ten years ago. As for increase of population that does not stop a moment. Not from the Old World only, but from all parts of the New World, the stream of humanity flows steadily into New York, and all the probabilities are that it will keep on doing so while thero is room to spread. Some enthusiasts about the future say there will be a plan some day to arch over the East river, lay out streets and build houses on a vast stmeture supported by piers and cables, as the Brooklyn bridge is, without intcr- fering with navigation, and make New York, Brooklyn and Long Island City a single city, the largest in the world. This may seem a hare-brained notion, but so did the Brooklyn bridge when it was first proposed. And if a man had said twenty yca r S ago that families would now be liv- ing on the top floors of ten-story build- ings be would have been called a fool.— Hartford Timet. Ahont Shoes. The immediate predecessors of India rubber shoes, for wear in the cities where paths were prepared during the snowy seasons, were articles technically described as “galoches.” They were, in fact, leather overshoes, save that the pro¬ tection came to the sole of the foot rath¬ er than toother parts. The prototype of the shoes was the ancient “clog,” which, indeed, was worn as a shoe or foot cover¬ ing, instead of an extraneous protector. In later years the “patten” of England was kindled to the “galoche.” Thero was always something natty in the appearance of this article, and the facility with which it could be donned was in its favor as well. Yet, woe to the individ¬ ual who attempted the use of a new pair upon icy walks where the hard and smooth soles beguiled frequent downfall¬ ing to the uninitiated. The original vul¬ canized rubber shoes had a leather bot- tom, and it constituted an objection hard to overcomebecau.se they were so slip¬ pery.
