United Stntoa Legation In Berlin.
The Unltei) States gorernment has
been Inquiring through the proper
channel as to the cost ot purchasing or
erecting Its own buildings for the em
bassies and legations and several of thi
large consulates-general In Europe. It
may ustonlsh many to learn that Ber
lin was fouud tho most expensive cap
ital In the world, so far as the cost of
real estate and of buildings was con
cerned. The only really suitable build
lug found there for the purpose would
cost SBOO,OOO. The Russian embassy
building In Berlin, which Is located
Enter den Linden, and which Is, In
deed, a veritable palace, so spacious
and stately Is it, would cost about $4,
000,000 to build to-day, ground and all.
But it is, too, roomy and elegant enough
to have served repeatedly for traveling
quarters for Russian Czars passing
through Berlin. What a miserable con
trast forms the excuse for an office
which the United States embassy occu
pies In Berlin, In Kronen strasse, a
street of small shops. In the basement
of the building Is a barber shop, on tho
ground floor a wine and schnapps shop,
and above the embassy offices reside a
score of private persons.
rosslbly no man Is as anxious to go

vacant amounts to 591,343,953 acres,
without Including Alaska, which is
supposed to embrace nearly 400,000,000
acres more. The entire area of the
United States is placed at 1,835,017,092

soever, amounts to 132,441,744 acres, sc
that, taking the reserve land and the
vacant land together, only nbout one
half of the area of the United States
has actually passed out of control of
the government, and If Alaska is In

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.
What suffering frequently results
from a mother's ignorance; or more
frequently from a mother's neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says "woman must suffer,"
and young women are so taught.
There is a little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina
tion; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfrora Miss MABTE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa., shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her;
•'My health became so poor that I
had to leave school. I was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. I was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. I was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who Is a firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. I followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and ain now as well as I
ever was. I have gained flesh and have
a good color. I am completely cured of
irregularity,"

Philadelphia Man Who Went Broke
Becanac He Did Not Pajr.
A Philadelphia man has lived ten
pears In a house for which he paid no
rent and no taxes. It belonged to the
gas company, and he had paid rent reg
ularly until the property of the compa
ny was transferred to the city. He says
Ulmself: "I don't remember how long
; It Is since I stopped paying rent. It
was when the gas office was on 7th
! street. I went there one day with my
; rent and offered It to Mr. White, who
had charge of the gas company's real
estate, but he refused to take It, and
1 told me that It was to be paid at the
! city treasurer's office In the future. I
took It up there and a young man there
said he could not take It, as he couldn't
And record of any such a house. He
told me that they would notify me
when they were ready to take my
money. I went back to Mr. White and
he advised rae to go home and wait un
til I heard from them. Well, I waited."
| Nobody came to collect money until re
| rently, when the city discovered Its
i title and sent a man to collect. The ten
| ant got a day to consider and promptly
- skipped. But his experience with a
| free rent does not seem to be satisfac

wouldn't take my advice and move to
where business was good, but he
hugged his snap and stuck here tu that
stagnant neighborhood and spent
money on repairs for the house and
didn't make any money."—Philadelphia

FIELDS OF ADVENTURE.
THRILLING INCIDENTS AND DARING
DEEDS ON LAND AND SEA.
Geiwral McLer at Bull Kun—Flmt Tost*
of "War of tho Commander of the Sec
ond Brigade of the New York State
Guard—Struggle With a Mad Flagman*
One man lay in tlie rough, canvas
covered ambulance, relates the New
York Sun. He was a private of the
Fourteenth of Brooklyn, a slender,
boyish fellow with a ragged red streak
across his forehead and a blood-soaked
spot on the breast of his blouse.
There was a hole in the canvas side of
the wagon, and the wonnded soldier
could sej a queer weird panoramic
movement of uniformed figures out
side. The rattle of small arms and
the heavier roar of artillery came to
his ears. The dry smoke of battle
drifted in under the roof of the vehicle
and tortured his parohed throat. It
was the day of Bull Run.
The noise of the fighting sounded
louded. A shell screamed over his
head. Several bullets tore through
the canvas walls beside him.
"This is getting warm," thought
the private.
Then there was a thunder of hoofs
on the turf and a troop of cavalrymen
halted at the side of the w-agon. The
officer in command and several others
whose uniforms showed them to be
regulars lifted into the wagon and laid
on the floor beside the private of the
Fourteenth another wounded man.
"Major Tilliughast, of General Mc-
Dowell's staff, is in that ambulance,"
said the commander of the troopers to
the driver of the wagon. "Get him
out of this inferno and answer for his
safety to me."
The wagon began to jolt from side
to side, and its two passengers knew
th-S it was in motion. Each step the
horses took caused intense pain to the
wounded. The man of the Fourteenth
turned to look at his fellow in misery.
The left arm of the officer had been
torn away at the shoulder, and his
white face was drawn and haggard.
The ambulance was being drawn away
at great speed. It was in the midst of
the ront. Several times it had to be
pulled suddenly to tho roadside to
clear the way for a detachment of regu
lar cavalry dashing to the front to
cover the retreat. The driver was
hurling expletives and lashing his
horse.
The private lost consciousness.
When he opened his eyes again he
could hear nothing. He thought his
hearing must bo gone and turned to
look at Tillinghast. The Major was
still conscious and the liues were
deepening in his face. He slowly
reached for the pistol in his holster
and painfully lifted it. In an instant
the private soldier grasped the signifi
cance of the movement—the agony
was too much for Tilliughast and he
was going to end it.
"For God's sake, man, don't do
that!" exclaimed tho soldier, grasping
the wrist of the Major. ' The latter
said nothing, but tried to free his
hand. Then began a fight between
the two wounded men, one struggling
for death, the other trying to prevent
a suicide. Neither man had strength
enough to rise, and they fought for the
possession of the pistol, lying on their
sides. Presently the officer's hold on
the weapon relaxed and he fell back
with a groan. The private gathered
his strength for a last effort and threw
the revolver from him. Then every
thing danced in a red mist and uncon
sciousness followed.
When reason returned to the sol
dier it was evening. A tiny bird was
sitting on the tailpiece of the wagon,
singing. The private gazed at the fig
ure beside him. It was still. He
reaohed forward and touched the of
ficer's face. It was cold. Then with
a shiver he lifted himself nud clam
bered out of the wagon. The horses
and the driver were gone. The ve
hicle stood beside a clump of trees.
The private staggered through the
trees and made his way forward. How
long he tramped ho never knew, hut
he finally fell fainting into tho arms of
a Union picket. He was taken to a
hospital, where he spent several
months. What became of the desert
ed ambulance and its dead was never
known, but the private who received
his baptism of fire on the field of Bull
Ran recovered to fight again and be
wounded, not once, but often. He
still lives, although his body is scarred
and seamed and one of his coat sleeves
is empty. He is General James Me-
Leer, the Brigadier in command of the
Second Brigade of the National Guard,
and he is as willing to-day to fight the
Spaniard as he was in the days of his
youth to battle on the Federal side.
The other day he told for the first
time this story of his first real taste of
war.
Fought a Maniac on Flying Train.
On top of the cars of a rapidly mov
ing freight train a brakemati fought for
his life with a flagman who had be
come suddenly insane.
The hrakeman saved his life by a
hair's breadth. He was thrown from
the train, and lay for a time stunned
and sorely bruised across the adjoin
ing tracks. When he recovered con
sciousness another freight train was
thundering down upon him. He man
aged to crawl out of its way just as it
swept by him, the wheels missing him
hv liarely an inch.
Joseph Kessler, the, brakeauan, lives
at Bordentown, N. J. Simpshu Per
rine, the flagman, has his home in
Dutch Neck. The freight train was
running from Camden to Jersey City.
It was Hearing llahwav and rushing
along at thirty miles an hour when
I'erriue's mad fit came upon him. He
seized a coupling pin, and, Without n
word of warning, dashed at Kessler.
Both ineta wfere then standing 04,t0p
of the same car. 80 sudden was the at
tack that Kessler had no time to turn
and run. He ducked his head, escap-
ing the blow that might have crushed
his skull, and then seized the madman
around the waist.
There ensued a fierce struggle, Kcbs
ler did not cry out. He knew there
was faint hope of making himßelf heard,
and he needed all his breath for what
it seemed to him was a wrestle for life.
Each strove to maintain his footing
and throw the other from the train.
Perrine's frenzy lent him strength.
Kessler felt himself being overpowered.
With a desperate effort he shook him
self loose from the maniac's grasp,
turned aud ran toward the caboose, at
the tail end of the train.
The madman followed him. It had
now become a race for life. Over the
cars they ran at full speed, leaping
from one car to another.
When only one car separated him
from the caboose Kessler stumbled.
In a moment Perrine was upon him.
Then he felt himself falling, and re
membered no more until the noise of
an approaching freight train sounded
in his ears, and he crawled off the
tracks just in time to escape being cut
in two.
Somebody on the train saw him. It
was stopped after it had passed him,
and he was taken on board and told
his story.
Meanwhile, on the other train, Per
rine had entered the caboose and made
a murderous assault on the conductor.
The train's crew v ent to the latter's
assistance. Perrine was overpowered
and securely bound. He will be com
mitted to an asylum. Kessler maybe
laid up for some time, but his injuries,
it is said, are not serions.
The Bear Knew What Would Happen.
News came to a teamsters' camp
near Nicatous Mountain, Maine, that
there was a bear in the spruce. Next
morning every man and dog started on
the hnnt. The dogs overtook the
bear, but he sent them home in a
hurry. He killed four and got away
before the men came up, having taken
the old tote road around the head of
Nicatous Lake. More than half the
hnnters turned back here. Half of
those who stayed struck across the ice
"on Nicatous Lake, which was knee
deep under water, hoping to head the
animal off on the further side, while
the remainder followed on after the
fleeing bear.
For half an hour they tramped the
woods. Then, looking into the lnke
from a high hill, they saw the bear
neck deep in water. Sometimes he
walked upon ice and then, getting
tired of walking, he swam for half a
mile or so. Then every man mule a
dash for the lake, running on the sub
merged ice, in the hope of overtaking
the bear before he could get ashore.
Though the bear saw what they were
doing, he seemed to display no anxiety.
Swimming or walking, as the whim
took him, he kept on for the upper
end of the lake. Tho men were gain
ing on him rapidly and were almost
within easy shot when the ice gave
way. It took the party more than an
hour to get on shore and build a fire.
As a good portion of their firearms
was in the bottom of the lake and the
bear had disappeared the party went
back to work the next day, fully satis
fied that the bear would never be
caught. The party which had crossed
the lake further down had grown tired
of waiting, and moved up along the
shore. It was getting dark when the
leaders came out of a splruce belt and
almost ran against a wet and be
draggled bear. The man fired and
missed, and then all the men gave
chase. The bear played with them
until dark, and then swam out into
the lake.
Encounter With a Itogue Elephant.
The following front Outing is the
native tracker's version of the death
of a dangerous rogue elephant:
"The people saw us coming down,
and because wo were alone and came
with haste they perceived that peril
was at hand. Therefore, men ran in
from their fields, and the inhabitants
gathered themselves together to offer
salutations. But Ivummeens Sahib
listened not, noi took notice of offer
ings. With u voice like a great wind
he ordered them to fly, which they did
with alacrity, many taking refuge in
a stone tower.
"At this time I observed that the
Lord Kummeens had become very
calm, and when people prayed for him
on the tower, and called down bless
iugs upon his head, he commanded
them to be silent without vehemence,
for this was a man indeed, one who
knew not fear, neither permitted in
terference. We stood in an open space
between the village shrine and their
gram deota, nor did it seem long be
fore the elephant came. His pace was
swift after coming out from behind
the hills, because he expected to sur
prise this village; but, on ascending
the slope, and seeing nothing of what
he had been accustomed to behold—
no terfor-stricken, helpless crowd
uttering shrieks and lamentations—l
think that this astonished him, for he
pulled up and advanced slowly. The
light of battle shone on my Lord's
face, yet he moved not, standing with
his gun poised, and I beside him hold
ing the second one, useless if the first
had failed.
"Elephants do not see well, and
this, being confused, cast his eyes
about quickly, without at once per
ceiving us. Boon, however) he looked
more attentively, and then a change
came over him. His ears cocked, his
trunk stretched itself out, his body
swelled with rage. By your soul,
Baliib, it was frightful to see how ho
from whom all had fled resented being
met. But Kummeens Behadur stirred
no more than the peaks of Kylas. He
waited while the elephant charged
screaming down, until his upraised
trunk dropped in anticipation of seiz
ing us. Then, when the forehead lay
uncovered, he fired; and as this boast
fell dead both tusks were broken off,
which is something I have not seen
again, though it is -common to break
one."
AGRICULTURAL TOBIC6,
Ornamental Plants From Seed.
I The castor oil bean (ricinus) is one
of the best of ornamental leaved
plants which may be grown from seed
and bloom the first year. They grow
rapidly and make a fine hedge or
screen if planted in open rich soil in a
dry situation. As the young plants dc
i not bear transplanting well the seed
should be planted directly where tha
plant is to remain,in the open ground,
when the weather becomes warm. The
richer the soil the more rapid the
growth of the plant and the more
' brilliant the color of foliage and
stalk. According to variety the plants
grow from six to eight feet high, and
; have foliage of shades of green, red
and purple. Nicotina nffiuis is also
readily "grown from seed. The plant
grows to a height of three or four
feet, its broad green leives and blos
soms of white being very attractive.
The soil should be rich and well
drained. A packet of seeds of each
variety, or rather class, costing ten
cents for the best variety, will furnish
a display equalling more costly palms
and foliage plants.
■ Heredity in Stock Breeding:.
| The attention of the stock breedei
who is striving for improvement in
the character and quality of his stock
must be directed to the study of the
individual characteristics of his breed
ing animals, with a view to ascertain
ing not only their merits and defects,
. but the causes of such discernible in
dividual characteristics, whether they
| are hereditary or acquired. Also he
mnst apply himself to the study of the
indications of invisible qualities, and
to testing for such cha ucteristics to
learn if the invisible qua.ities are pres
ent as indicated or not. In producing
high-class stock to be used for further
purposes of improvement attention of
the breeder must be directed to a study
of ancestry to ascertain what latent
qualities his stock is likely to possess
—that the undesirable latent qualities
may be overcome and the best may be
brought into activity and usefulness,
i A study of the formation of any
breed brings ns to the conclusion that
the value of the breed is due to selec
tion, the breeding of blood lines and
feeding conditions. To maintain and
strengthen the present degree of ex
cellence it is necessary to bring to
bear equal method and system. This
can only be accomplished by working
along with nature and building on
strong foundations.—C. H. Elmendorf,

Care of Voting IMg*.
If young pigs have plenty of exer
cise and the right kind of food there
is no danger of over-feeding. A small
quantity of corn ground with wheat or
rye and middlings, and the whole
mixed with milk, is a first-class food
for young pigs. The common field
varieties of peas are also an excellent
food for pigs, young or old. Sow at
the rate of two bushels per acre and
cover four inches deep, sowing after
the peas are planted three pecks of
oats per acre, well harrowed in, to
serve as a support for the peas,
i The food for pigs of all ages when
not being fatted should be that which
has bulk. Middlings, milk, ground
barley and swill for pigs, and for
shoats and breeding stock, fed in ad
dition beets or other roots cooked and
mixed with cut clover hay. For
young pigs, ground oats with the hulls
sifted out is an excellent food. Have
part of tho feeding pen so arranged
that a portion of the grain food may
be scattered over it broadcast to give
■ the pigs exercises in feeding it. A
run of liberal dimensions should be
provided for young pigs if they are
kept in confinement, in order to get
the amount of growth from the feed
given to be profitable, otherwise lib
eral feeding will only result in an ex
cess of fat before the formation of the
desired amount of bono and muscle.
Colic In Horses.
! It is stated on good authority that
keventy-flve per cent, of the horses
that die each year are victims of colic.
During the spring the trouble is fre
quent among farm horses, although it
is usually wind colio, but this may
turn into the nervous colic so gener
ally fatal unless prompt and intelli
gent treatment is given. The stomach
of the horse is peculiarly susceptible
to the changes of food that are fre
quently made in the spring, and that
invariably causes an attack of indi
gestion more or less violent. Any
change in food should be brought
about gradually, and so also should
radical changes in the work required
of the animal. It stands to reason
that a horse lightly fed for two or
I three months of winter with but little
- work to do is not in fit condition to
; put into the field for ten hours' work
t at heavy plowing. Give horses whole
■ some food regularly and according to
I the work done by them. Keep thorn
[ from exposure to draughts of cold air,
) 1 especially when very warm; give only
> 1 pure water to drink, and they are
i practically insured against colic.
t | Should the colic attack the horse,
- the following treatment will give re
t lief in most cases. An injection of
I clear water of the same temperature
1 of the stable should first be giveu,
i ( followed by a pill made of five drams
- of powered Barbadoes aloes, one dram
I ' mercurious chloride and enough lin
> seed meal to make a stiff pill with the
i addition of a little water. Bub belly
r and flanks with coarse cloth or sack
, ! ing if the animal is chilled. After
! ' this treatment the horse should not be
; worked or violently exercised for at
i least twenty-four hours. If the at
i tack does not succumb to this treat
l J ment it is sufficiently severe and dan
l gerous to need the immediate services
■ of a skilled veterinarian.

TELEPHONING! AT SEA.
How Commanders Communicate by l
Wire from Ship to Ship.
Telephones may supersede the old
system of flag signals as a means of
communication between ships at sea.
Successful experiments have been
made by Commander R. Q. 0. Tupper
of the British navy which seem to
prove that the system ls adapted for
the purpose. Commander Tupper used
a kite In his experiments, and this
seems to bo the only fenslble means.
The kite used was an ordinary one thai
differed but slightly from those used by
American boys In the spring and fall,
except that It had no tall. The kite was
six feet long and three wide at Its
broadest part. Two lines were at
tached to the kite where the tall would
ordinarily have been. One of these
lines was retained on board of the Dar
ing, the torpedo boat destroyer under
Commander Tupper'a eommand, from
whlc.i the experiments were conducted.
It was found that with the wind be
tween the two lines It was easy to drop
letters or even a hawser on another
fhlp, and In this way to establish com
munication. When this experiment had
proved successful Commander Tupper
made use of a wire. The end of the
wire which the kite bore away from the
Tlilp was dropped upon the deck of H.
H. S. Dauntless, where It was secured
by the electrician of the ship and at
tached to a telephone apparatus In
waiting. The other end, which had re-

mained aboard tho Daring, was also
attached to a telephone, and as soon as
the task had been completed tho com
munication between the two ships was
perfect. Secured by the two lines, the
kite remained suspended for four hours,
during which time communication be
tween the two ships was uninterrupted.
Commander Tupper has made a report
of his experiments with the kite tele
phone and declares that It means that
the present method of signaling with
flngs will become obsolote. If telephone
wires can be employed, he sees no rea
son why telegraphic communication
6hould not bo made In a similar man
ner, and the ships of a fleet be placed In
communication with each other.
