From the Chicago Tribune, Albert and Charles Huber, living a few miles south of Durand, Wis., have a herd of about twenty-five full-blood bison end some eighteen crossed bulls and heifers, bison and native cow. About six years ago they were hunting in the western part of North Dakota and succeeded in cap- turing alive three young bison, a buil and two cows, and these they brought to their farm here. The animals grew and thrived amazingly, and are pastured in an inclosure of about 400 acres, running down to the Valley of Rose Creek, where they have am- ple room and shelter. Experiments were early made with crossed breeds, and it has now been found that the cross is very suc- cessful, the half-breed combining the do- cility of the domestic animals with the endurance and large size of the bison. They are also very fine fur producers, and grow to maturity in less time than do- ic cattle. The flesh of crossed ani- mals is very palatable, and the fur has all the good qualities of that of the bison, and is softer and ore silky. The crossed bloods can also stand far more exposure in winter than can the native cow. - — ae An Aretic Fox. From the Philadelphia Record. One of the finest’ specimens of Arctic foxes in the United States has been pre- sented to the Zoological Gardens by Cap- tain Johnson of the bark Salina, a trader to the far north. The little animal was caught by the Esquimaux on the west coast of Greenland last spring, and was presented to Captain Johnson while his v was loading at Ivigtut for Phila- deiphia. The little stranger “ anxiously awaits the arrival of cold weather, the re- cent warm spell having caused him great discomfort. But, as the winter storms, with their ice and snow, will come along pretty soon, he hopes to be himself again. He was captured while catching fish along the edge of a huge glacier. Salmon, par- ticulariy in winter, are the only food for these animals to subsist on during the long, dark days and nights in the frozen north.

Navy. Great Attention Paid te the Testing of Coals—Electricity om Shipbeard— ‘The Ammapelis Academy. Commander Chadwick has made a report to the Secretary of the Navy of the op- erations of the bureau of equipment dur- ing the past. fiscal year, showing that $897,158 were expended at the several navy yards for labor in equipping vessels, and that there was expended abroad for equip- ment supplies the sum of $49,906.07. Of this amount $875,840.63 was. expended for 56,268 tons of coal, an average of 96.68 per ton. The chief says the Ardois signal sys- tem has been much. imporved. The Very night signals and method of fr- ing“ have also been much - alter- ed in the line of safety and in the greater height to Le Raasg Paves ce thrown by é a new pistol See ars Dinnaclos have been introduced and changes made in the system of com- pensation, by which there is a great saving e. Fp er improved form of life belts was got out by the bureau, and one is now furnished for every officer and man aboard ship, Instead of but for a small percentage as formerly. A homing pigeon service has been estab- lished at Portsmouth, N. H., Newport, New York, Norfolk, Key West and Mere Island, which promises well. There are times, Commander Chadwick says, when such a service might be of inestimable value. Testing Coal. The bureau has given great attention to the question of testing coals. There has been a continuous series of tests for evap- orative efficiency carried on, this testing being done at the New York and Mare Island yards, the only two fitted for the work, and-a very large series of chemical tests has been made, and continues to be made, at the Washington yard. Ships are obliged to test and report on tabulated forms upon the quality of all coals taken aboard. The data thus obtained is now very extensive, covering probably a larger field than has ever been covered before in such matters. These reports have been published for the last two years, and form a valuable volume of reference. . The chief says he is of opinion that we should use the best coal obtainable, when- ever the price is reasonable in comparison with that of other coals. It may be said in a general way that the best coal is the cheapest coal, as it gives a greater steam- ing radius, is easier to fire, causes less in- jury to boilers and uptakes, and requires a smailer force to handle. gi He again urges the building of a coal barge for rapid coaling, by which as much as 150 tons of coal may be delivered per hour. The coaling of ships, if such a barge could be supplied at our more important stations, he says, would not only lessen the heavy work thrown upon the men, lessen the injury to machinery and ships’ fittings which comes from extending the coaling some times through several days, but it might be of vital importance to us in cer- tain exigencies to coal more rapidly than is possible under our present arrangements. A total of 138,818 tons of coal, costing $655,921.72, was purchased during this year, as against 116,903 tons, costing $620,131.38, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1896: 56,268 tons were purchased abroad in 1897, as against 61,741 in 1896, at an average de- creased cost per ton in 1897 of 17 cents. The average cost of all coal purchased in 1807 was $4.75, against $5.30 in 1806. Of a total of 115,723 tons of coal used by the new ships of the navy, 52,614 tons, or 45 per cent, was for steaming purposes, and 3,100 tons, or 55 per cent, was fer auxil- fary purposes, under which latter head are included electric lighting, distilling, heat- ing, flushing water closets, cooking, venti- lating and steam cutter service. Electricity on Shipboard. The electric lighting installations already in our later ships and those to go in the ships now building are believed to be cer- tainly equal to any elsewhere, if not in advance. There van be no question, says Commander Chadwick, of the great utility of the extension of the application of elec- tricity to all the minor work of the ship. Its perfect controllability, tts cleanliness, the absence of heat, the absence of danger if the connections be cut, which exist in the ease of steam pipes, are advantages which cannot be overlooked. He urges the increase of pay for those BN connected with the electrical service of the ship. This service is more contin- uous, more difficult, and requires more ex- pert knowledge than falls to the lot of any other enlisted men. The Naval Observatory. Commodore Phythian, formerly superin- tendent of the naval observatory, makes the following statements in regard to the buildings and grounds of that institution: “Satisfactory progress has been made in the improvements of the yrounds and reads. The two -new houses erected for residences of observers are now oceupied. The buildings are generally In good condi- ticn. Leaks through the walls on the north stde of the superintendent's residence have developed during recent storms to a degree that will necessitate a careful inspection and such repairs as may prove to be nec- essary for its preservation.” —-e-—____ Glenned From Consular Re; Consul Phillips, at Cardiff, Wales, sends to the State Department a report concern- ing the ~ workmen's compensation act, which goes into effect on July 1, 1898. ‘This act makes employers lable for acci- dents causing death and injury to em- ployes, and affects more than half the labor in the United Kingdom. The mine operators are protesting against the en- forcement of the act, and declare that it will greatly increase the cost of produc- tion. The greatest opposition comes from the owners of coal mines. Consul Nusbaum, at Munich, Germany, reports that the importation of American bicycles in that district has been large, and they command prices 25 to 40 per cent in advance of German wheels. American paces and. shoes also command recognition Consul Read, at Tientsin, the arrival there of twelve China, reports American loco- motives for the Ttentsin-Lukouchiao (Pe- king) railroad extension.

SS “It is possible néw tb form some degree of estimation of the probable increase of internal revenue weceipts under the new tariff law,” said Commissiéner Forman of the internal revenue bureau to a Star re- porter today. : “The Dingley tariff.act made two changes in the internal revenue law. It abolished the rebate of 7% cents upon each barrel of beer which had previousty been allowed brewers upon the purchase of their internal revenue stamps. It'<loubled the. internal Tevenue tax upon cigarettes. “While in the mouth of August there was @ decrease of 961,905.90 in the aggregate receipts from internal revenue, occasioned by the excessive purchase of beer stamps during the month previous in anticipation of the abolishment of the rebate, in Sep- tember there was an inerease of $845,375.14 im the aggregate Eatimated Gain for the Year. “I estimate that the government will gain this year about $3,000,000 by the abol- ishment of the beer rebate, notwithstand- ing the fact that the large brewers laid in such a heavy stock of old stamps in antici- pation. It is somewhat difficult to estimate the increase in receipts from eigarettes. We wilt gain about $5,000,000, I think, by virtue of the act passed before the tariff law was enacted allowing bottling of spirits in bond. This will prove a very beneficial measure, and under its provisions the dits- tillers withdraw whisky four years old, bottle :t under the supervision of United States inspectors. seal and stamp the bot- tles. By this means the public is assured of good whisky, and the small dealers are crane’ to purchase a pure whisky in small ta. Whisky to.Be Withdrawn and Bottled “Heretofore they had to buy a barrel in erder to get whisky that had not passed through the hands of the rectifiers. “If the rate of consumption holds out, as expected, large quantities of whisky will be withdrawn this year and bottled in this way, and, of course, the tax will have to be paid. “For the months of August and Septem- ber the total increase in the tax on spirits over the same months of last year were $2,238,944.46. The increase in the tax ou tobacco for these months over the same period last year was $856,880.42. The ap- Parent discrepancy between these figures and the aggregate mentioned above arises from the decrease in the item of tax on beer, as explained.” THE NAVY.

From the Woman’s Home Companton. “Positively no stomach can digest mince pie without injury, and no intelligent wo- man in these enlightened days serves it to her family." This item, and others of sim- ilar import, are ever appearing in the news- papers; yet thoughtless man, as Thanks- giving approaches, is making covetous ref- erences to the reprehensible article, and the good housewife who cherishes early associations finds herself weakly sympa- thetic, Nobody claims that mince pies are hygienic, but nefther are baked pork and beans—a standard dish among the most “enlightened”—nor many other dishes which we eat with more or less relish. Certainly nobody claims that mince pies are not good, nor will any reasonable per- son deny that the holiday season is the time for mild indulgences, if we are ever to indulge ourselves at all. For those, then, who would sin somewhat against health’s laws the following recipe is sub- mitted as being the best of its kind—tested without serious results to well-being: Three pounds of prime beef from the ten- derest part of the round, six pounds of ap- ples (greenings), one and one-half pounds of suet, tne juice and grated peel of two oranges and two lemons, two pounds of brown sugar, one pint of molasses, three pints of boiled cider, one quart of good California brandy, three grated nutmegs, } one tablespoonful of mace, one and one- half tablespoonfuls of salt, two tablespoon- fuls each of ginger and allspice, one table- spoonful of cloves, six tablespoonfuls of cinnamon, one-half pound of sliced citron, two pounds of seedless raisins, two pounds of large seeded raisins, two pounds of cur- rants and one glassful of grape jelly. Steam the meat or let it simmer gently until ten- der, let it cool and chop it rather fine—the size of the average pea; chop the apples to the size of white beans. Prepare the fruit carefully, mixing all the dry ingredients thoroughly; then add the cider, molasses, lemon and blend Spa ggg ti that Souen In maki » Bee pas- ier ie of the best.
