Dr. Doty, Health Officer at New York, Attending the McClellan's Fever Patients. KISS CLENDENNiN IS IMPROVING The EfScleay of the Serum Treatment llclnpr Tested on Oiear F. I.cckey — Ilia Temperature Keduced—The Two Suapeeta Show a Nearly Normal Temperature. , New York, July 8.—The health eSheer of this port^Dr. Doty, and his assistant, passed the night at Swinburne island in attendance upon ,tlie yellow fever patients who came here on board the United States transport McClellan lrom Santiago, Cuba. Miaa Clendennln Improving. Of Miss Clendennin, whose father. Dr. Paul Clendennin, medical oflieer in charge at Santiago, died of yellow fever,‘after the departure of the Me- ■ Clellan, Dr. Doty said: f “Miss Clendennin is suffering with n mild attack of yellow fever, and is improved, having a lower temperature. I have every hope that she will improve right along.” Trying the Serum Treatment. The ellicacy of the serum treatment is being tested on the other patient, Oscar F. Leckey. Dr. Doty said: “Mr. Leekey was in very bad shape. IJis kidneys were heavily involved with :;5 per cent, of the precipitation. On airival at the hospital 1 found that it was impossible to give him nourishment, as his stomach was very weak and refused to retain anything. His inind was clear, his temperature very high, lie was told, at his request, to be informed as, to his condition, that he was in a serious plight, and that I could not give him any nourishment. 3 explained to him the use of the serum. lie said: ‘Doctor, do as you think best.’ Temperature Reduced. “He was given one injection under the skin at 11 o’clock Thursday night, another at 2 a. m„ and a third at ? a. m. While I can say nothing of the effect of the serum I can state facts. When he arrived at Swinburne island his temperature was very high; now his temperature has fallen nearly two degrees, and he is somewhat more comfortable.

i me Two Saapect*. “Ferguson anti Tidmarsh, the two suspects, are also improved with their temperature nearly normal, showing evidence that their illness is not, in all probability, caused by yellow fever. Dr. Fitzpatrick and I will be in constant attendance on the patients at Swinburne island until the end. fI have every hope that we will pull them through. |- 1 GOING TO THE SULU ISLANDS. | Gen. Untea Going,' on n Diplomatic Mission to the Snltnn olt Sola on the Chnrruen. , Manila, July S.—The transport Cliur-l-uea is to take Gen. Bates to the Sulu islands on a diplomatic mission. He will arrange a basis for a friendly understanding with the sultan of Sulu, who claims to be friendly to Americans. Under the sultan s treaty with Spain he received a subsidy., Gen. 'Wheaton is to take command of Gen. Hale’s brigade at San Fernando. Gen. Hale is returning to the United States with the Colorado regiment. The members of the Spanish colony here are lionizing the survivors of the Spanish garrison of Baler, on the coast , of Luzon, who returned Imre Thursday night with the Spanish commissioners sent to treat with the Filipinos for the surrender of the Spanish prisoners, A dozen banquets have been arranged in their honor nnd a subscription has been started for their relief. Lieut. Martin, the only surviving officer’ of the garrison, denied the story that he killed Capt. Morenas. the Spanish officer who commanded at Haler, because he tried to raise a white flag. Martin says the captain died of berri-berri.

THE SITUATION A GRAVE ONE. The British and American Neicotietor* at a Dead-Loclc on the Alaskan Boundary. London, July 8.—The officials of the Foreign office were shown the dispatch from Washington, on Thursday, saying there was almost a deadlock over the modus vivendi fixing the Alaskau boundary, neither side being willing to accept the provisional line proposed by the other. The officials confirm the contents of the dispatch, acknowledging the situation is grave and say the present outlook is more unsatisfactory than at any time since February. This is keenly regretted at the foreign office, as it had been thought the negotiations were in a very satisfactory itatus. It has been learned that United States Ambassador Choate has received important dispatches from Washington regarding the negotiations. ; A Cheek From Helen Gould. Chicago, July 8.—A special to the Tribune from Madison, Wis., says: Amos F. Wilder, editor of the State Journal, has received a check for $250 from Helen Gould to be used in the New Richmond (Wis.) relief fund. Judge Groaacup Improving. Chicago, July 8.—-Reports from Ashland, O., states that the condition of Federal Judge Grosscup is considerably improved. The jurist is no longer confined to his bed, and every indication is that he is on a, fair way tc complete recovciy.

FEEDING EAR CORN. The Kew Jersey Experiment Station ' Proves i'ntvlsdom of the Practice by Eloquent Figures. The practice of feeding ear-corn to rattle is very widespread. The impression seems to be that what is lost in the unused corn is made up in the saving in labor and expense of grinding. The practice of having hogs “follow” cattle originated in a desire to make good a part of this loss. The practice, however, is not one that commends itself to men that practice aavanceu 1 nietUdda in feeding. Even in the cases ! of memthat have tfeeir ‘cattle followed by hogs in summer time, the same practice of feeding corn on the eob is continued during the winter and during all other times, when the loss cannot cer- | tainly be made good by the hogs. Ex* j periments have demonstrated that the j loss of good feeding material by the ■ practice is very large. The New Jersey j experiment station recently made I some tests that were strongly demon- | strative of the unwisdom of this course.

I One cow was fed ten pounds of corn on J the cob daily, of which 5.73 pounds apj peured in the excrement, thus showing j that 57.3 per cent, went through the | stomachs of the cow without being afi footed by the digestive processes, it • must be taken into consideration that j there is a loss otherwise than of the 57.3 per cent, of corn,; for the animal lias | had to use. some force in the process of | passing this unused material through j the system. The station mentioned : figured out that in the case of a cow giving milk the value of a ton of corn and \ cob meal was $9.38 more than a ton of . car corn. Of course, from this must be | deducted the cost of husking and grindj ing a ton of corn, but this would seldom i exceed a half of the increased value represented.—Farmers’ Keview. PEN FOR BROOD SOWS. —- ' j It Is Front-Proof and Piss- Can Bo Raised In It Even in Uie | Coldest Weather. Thousands of farmers are using the ! portable pigpen* shown in illustration, j The objection to it in cold weather is , that the cold wind striking the out- j side of pen condenses the warm air and steam on the inside, producing frost ■ and ice. To remedy this 1 iirst board up in the usual way, cover with good jjuality building paper, nail on cleats crosswise, cover with boards one foot . wide and batten. A two-inch air space between the outer and inner wall is thus secured, ■= The ends should be lyxed up j . the same wav. .Now voti have an almost . ' \\

PORTABLE DOUBLE-WALLED HOG , HOUSE. 1 air-tight pen a ml a sow would not live ! in it long. For ventilation, bore a two- , | inch hole through the outer wall near the bottom of pen on the end. Bore a | corresponding hole on the inside near l the top. Reverse the position of these j holes on opposite end. Have a double j window in one end high up out of the I reach of the sow. The door in the other end should aTso be double. Place a guard for little pigs across back end and a trough near front end. If the i weather is very cold, hitch a team to pen and draw in onto barn floor. Pigs can then be raised in coldest weather.— Orange Judd Farmer. WITH THE BUSY BEES. Nothing irritates bees so much aa a sudden jar. I , The best trees to set around the hive are fruit trees. i It is a mistake to let a colony of bees be overstocked with drones. Nothing is gained by feeding bees when there are plenty of flowers. When bees build comb in their nat- j ural way an excess of drones is usually produced. The life of a bee depends upon the work it does. When it works its life is shortened. No drones are reared in a colony until it becomes very strong and the combs are well filled. To produce a large crop of honey bees should not .be allowed to swarm, but kept together. Bees have been known to swarm in a box hive when the hive was oifly three-fourths full. Each frame of comb in a hive shoiild ! occupy an inch and a half of space, tak- j ing care to space with exactness. Pure white comb honey, with very little propolis on the wood of the sections denotes that they were taken out as soon as they were filled. A swarm of bees hived upon a full set of f'ombs at the opening of the honey season will fill their hive full in a week, ready for surplus boxes. At intervals during the summer, when the bees cannot gather honey, the queens quit laying and the strength of the colony is curtailed.—St. Louis Republic. ProsreM In Pis-Ralsln*. The man who has his pigs come out at a time when he must feed them through the winter and into the next fall before he can get them on the market is a loser in the sense that he does not get as much for the grain he feeds as does his neighbor who makes his calculations so as to enable him to sell his pigs the fall after they are farrowed, saving himself the extra winter feed that is required to carry the animal through the cold weather. The modern hog is born to grow fat and get on the market at six or eight months, and if he is kept longer he is a bill of expense to his own ir.—Formers’ Voice.

PROVIDE FOR PETS, T3oc», Cat* and Bird* Are Xow Ac- ' comuiudaletl on the Sleimibipi. To take a pei abroad generally insures much inconvenience to both owner and animal, but it is a practic e which is becoming more common every year. Special provision for traveling dogs, cats and birds are now made by the various steainpsliip lines, and a. regular rate of-charges for them is maintained. The regular fare from New York to Europe for a dog of ordinary size and requirements is $10. This is the charge made by all lines, but some of them demand $20 for supplying passage and lirrt-class service to very large or important members of the canine world. As soon as the dog passenger arrives on board he must be turned over to the butcher, a fact which, were it more generally known, might open a new held to

the humorous paragrapher, or at least sustain him in his oft-repeated faces tiou,s to the dog as a food product. But it is patent the butcher does not read the comic papers, for he makes no effort to reduce Fido to sausage meat. Instead he takes entire charge of him during the voyage, and keeps him well fed and well housed in a kennel in the after part oflthe lower deck, for which service' he e tpeets. and usually receives, a substantial fee from Fido’s owner. The dog is not permitted to run loose about the -hip, and may not be taken fcnto saloons or staterooms, but if the owner desires the company of his pet on dtn-k for a part of the time each day the privilege is usually. granted, provided tlie dog is kept closely at its master’s side, and not allowed to disturb or annoy other passengers, whether bipeds or quadrupeds. •it is a matter of some difficulty to get a dog into England, from this or any other country, owing to the restrictions set forth iff the importation of dogs order issued by the British board of agriculture two-years ago. Before a dog is allowed to land from a foreign port the owner must first obtain a license for the disembarkation from the secretary of the boartl of agriculture and must sign, or have an authorized agent sign, an exhaustive-1 statement about the animal. The statement includes a full description of the dog, its breed, sex, age, color and marks, given for the purpose of identification; the country from which it is proposed to be brought, the port at which it is proposed to be landed, the place to which it is proposed, after being landed?to be moved for such detention and isolation as may be required by the board, and also the route by which it is to be moved to such place of detention or isolation. That looks discouraging enough, but Jkere is more to come in filling out the application for the license to land the red tape-entangled dog. The owner must convince the secretary that he is to have a permanent residence in Great Britain, where the dog is to be kept. An American who applied recently for a license told the writer that the board had refused to grant it because he had set forth in his statement that he intended to make his home at a hotel in England, as he has done for many summers. The hotel, the board of agriculture replied, was hardly within the meaning of a “permanent residence.” As for the detention and isolation of the dog, the board has the authority to put Fido in quarantine (for that is what if amounts to practically) for a period of half a year, if it is advisable, and that

ui me sou? expense qi xiie owner. Cuts which'go to Europe travel in the tamp class as dogs, $10 each, and are also looked after by the ship’s butcher. The fare for birds varies a good deal with, the different lines. One transatlantic company charges a regular fare of $5 a cage for birds, and they have to be left, like the dogs and cats, with that overburdened mortal the butcher. Another line charges a certain rate which varies in proportion to the size of the cage or number of cubic feet which it occupies. A third company makes no charge for carrying a bird, and permits the owner to have.it in his stateroom. Dogs, cats and birds are frequency afflicted with sea sickness, and manifest the symptoms of the dread disease for nil the woVld like their masters. Often the birds succumb and die when two or three days out, but the dogs and eats seldom show signs of the illness after the second day, and it is very unusual for one of them to die at sea.—N. Y. Sun. Trained Hunting; Entries. The golden eagle is trained and used by the natives of Tartary and the Kirkhis steppes for hunting foxes, wolves, boars and deer. A traveler in those countries describes the process: “We had not gone far when several large deer rushed past a jutting point of the rocks and bounded over the plain, 300 yards distant. In an instant the eagle was unliooded and his shackles removed. when he sprang from the perch and soared into the air. I watched him ascend and was under the impression that he had not seen the animals, but I was mistaken. He rose to a great height, and then poised for a full minute, then gave two or three flaps with his wings and swooped in a straight line toward his prey. I gave my horse his head, and in a few minutes he carried me to the front. When we were within a hundred yards, the eagle struck his prey, with one talon in its neck, the other in its back, while his beak was tearing the deer’s head. The animal fell as ii shot, anti was quickly dispatched by the eagies keeper.
