Appended is a copy ot a letter re ceived bp Mrs. Chandler Williams: Balinau, Philippine Islands, July 12, 1899. Dear Mother I at last received your kind and most welcome letter a few days ago and was glad to hear from you and all the folks once mo e. I got the Richmond papers all O. K. and enjoyed reading them very much. I read the account of the Richmond boys' hearty welcome he me frim Cuba and how they were entertained. I want to say that there is nothing Blow about Richmond. I think the program was just grand. I only wish 1 could have been thr re. I know I would haye enjoyed myself. 1 Well I suppose there will come a time some day when I will be back. The boys here haven't been discharge d yet but are looking for it every day. O.by the way.my battery is not acting as infantrymen any more, we are light artillerymen now, we relieved the Utahs' so that they could go horn. My battery is split up all along the firing line now. We do not have to walk any more; we ride now all the time. We have two breech loading rifljs here in this town under our charge and e'ght big American mules, four mules to each gun, and the rest of the battery have more guns in the different towns and cities where they are located. I want to tell you that when these natives hear these guns of ours commence to bark that is what pats the fear of God in their heart.. They have been pretty quiet here for a few days, but they do get back every now and then, and then you Know we are compelled to decrease their num ber somewhat. Ha. Ua. We have vety nice qarters here in this eity and every evening at 4 p. in. we ride out to the intrenchments where the infantry is and stay there till dark and come in, and when there is an at tack we get out there at a 2:40 gait. you bet. I sead you a bullet that was spent and hit me on the foot during one of the battles here. Answer soon, same address. From your loving son, Omar J. Williams.

FARMING IN AUSTRIA.

Observations Ma do bv the American Minister to Austria, Addison - C. Harris. rt vr . .i - i very interesting A. C. Harris at v !nn. 4.t i Vienna, Austria, and as it relates mainlv to tha airrienltnr t - r,, f it " J " " " " caucra: "Vienna, Austria, Jane lti. "Dear Governor: We have jat returned from a ten days' driving tour through the country to the southwest of Vienna, and it will affrrd me pleasure to note to you some of the thing seei as from a farmer's eyes: "1. Roads. Although there is gravel, all the roads are made of broken limestone. The eountry is hilly often quite mountainous and the rock is quarried by the roadside, broken with a hammer, and hauled and put in 'stine-ricks at intervals, and then every hole or rut is filled as needed, day by day. All the ro-ula are built by engineers, and one drives across mountain ranges and np and about on roads so well made that he is not aware what a height he is climbing until he notices they zigzag and keep on a uniform and low grade, so that heavy leads are hauled up as well as down with ease. They are much better than our turnpikes. "2. Fruits. Appel, pear and plum trees are everywhere. One di.es not see large orchards, but a row stands on each side of the toad, and all the little odd nooks about are thick with trees. "3. Forestd. Although this land has been thickly populated for 2.000 years at least, there is plenty of wood grown on the hill-sides and uncultivated lands. Pine, cedar and baech are the chief woods. Te begin gay a lot of (ten acres or so; is entirely cleared off, then small twigs or sprouts, say six inches high, are planted in rows about six feet apart. No stock runs at large. As the trees grow the inferior are cut out for wood aid the larger trimmed nntil in time there is a thick, tall wood that delights the eye to see. The wood is cut with a saw no waste chips. The brush even is cut into lengths and used for firewood. Forest lands are good investment. The siw timber is cut into boards at the little water sawmills, which are thick, and saw very slowly. 4. Streams The country is full of small, clear, pure streams. No refuse ' is permitted to be cast in. No dust or bark from the saw-mills, or shavinge, ' or refuse from the iron or other mills go in at all. The water pawer is utilized for all kinds of work. But everything is old-fashioned. These streams are full of trout and the woods foil of game. CROPS IN AUSTRIA. "5. Crop Rye, barley, oats, pota toes, cabbages, beets for food these areeTtorerTrorr: TtwaIrye8a the rye, etc., and hoe the crops. After! planting all the work seems to be done j bv hand. 1 did not see a single plow . or cultivator, only breaking plows and I harrows As all over r.urope tne land s divided into very small lots for culti vation, also in this part of Austria much is on the hillside. So they put two plowshares on one beam and three handles. The shares stand at 90 degrees; so, of course, when one plow is in the other is out. In tbn way they plow back and forth, and not inlands. Two handles are up and one down. A boy or girl lead the oxan and a man holds the plow. Much land is spaded from the first. G Meadows All stock is kept up and the grass is out and fed green now.. Also much hay is being made. They use clover before it blooms and mixed grasses before it ripens. In this way they get two or three crops vear. Flowers of all kinds grow all over the meadows; the theory is ani mals thrive better than on a single grass. Anyway, me meaaows run 01 flowers, the trees everywhere, the absence of fences, etc., give to the country a parklike appearance, indes cribably beautiful. I did not see a mower or horse rake during the ten days. To dry the hay quiokly they often drive a stake in the ground, with pins through it, and cock the hay, so air goes under and up through it. The take is six feet higb. The scythe is short and broad; forks, wooden, and; are made in the neighborhood. It makes one think of fifty years ago; only this country is 100 or more years back. 7. Live Stock Horses are gen erally good and some are large. Hogs are white and yellow. Cattle, color of the Jersey, or white but larger. The old steers have long, wide horns but t le beef is f ir y good ; Chickens " and ducks everywhere. Nobody shoots the Id birds in this country. "8. Factories-MJne sees a good many little water-power lactones, mills, etc. Wagon shops, carpenter shops, shoe shops, clock makers. weavers, coopers, furniture tinkers, etc., are seen everywhere. '9. Laborers! One sees as many women as man working on the roads and in the fields, brickyards, etc. They do not drive or mow much, but do everything . else like men. They are as strong and do as much aork. They do not work hard. I saw ten men mowing together in the middle of the afternoon and seven had coats on. 1 am told farm waves are from five to twenty cents a day and part of all of the food in addition. PLENTY OF SCHOOLS. j "10. Schools. Good schools compulsory now children fairly well dressed. Churches, shrines' and Valyaries' along all the road. Mrs. II arris counted seventy-seven m a ei:s hours' drive. There are sme Protest ants in Hungary. The people seem contented. Everything ha been this way so long it is not easy for them to think there is any other way." The trusts and departmc nt stores are not here. A man make and sells one thins, but can't say all start even in the race. " "Anyway, 1 never spent ten days more agreeably. : The people are kind Old and young always speak to you on the road. Hotels are good. Of course. everybody drinks the poor, hard ei der, called apple wine, next beer, ntxt wine. No saloons, no whisky. - The wine is used at the meal only, so with beer generally. -' "The crops are promising, for the

(soil is excellent. They conserve all

leaves, ete. compost, so and that j every little plot cultivated is like an 'American garden, or better. If my farm were handled with as much care J -(I do not say in the same way it would produce three or even ten times what it now yields. I x ueiieve ruiuug uuirui iv im m mechanical school. Poor, worn out , , . ... , . BUU --K". .wages will go down unless the peope llrno how to, and then do, keep their linda np. As ever, A. C. Harris. FRED FOX HOME.

TO "FRISCO OR BUST " George Williams and Wife Pass Through on Their Tandem From Philadelphia te San Francisco. A dusty but happy locking couple struck tovrn about 1 o'clock this afternoon, riding a tandem en route from Philadelphia to San i rancisuo on a $1,000 wager that the ride ean be , . made in ninety , days. The couple were Mr. and Mrs. George B. Williams of the former city. Mr. Williams has a bicycle store in PhPadelphia, and he and his wife are riding more for the novelty and experience of tie trip .than for any money that they may make. If thy win they win the wager. If the trip is made in the specified time it will be the first trip that has ever been made on a tandem between the two coasts, although the trip has been made on a single wheel a number cf times. The wheel ridden by Mr. and Mrs. Will ansa was built by himself and the outfit consists of m duplicate of every part of the wheel except the frame, to be used in ease of immergrney. This is the twenty-eeeond day on the road and they have covered 669 miles. They are determined to make the trip and their motto is that ot the forty-niner "Frisoo or boat."

Taken En route West From Boston to Richmond. The following paragraph appeared in the Indiadapolis Journal recently: The Empire State Express made a new record for itstlf on Wednesday between Syraouse and Buffalo, whan engine 939, with the regular train of four ears, made the run in two hours and twenty minutes, including a stop at Rochester, an extra stop at East Bofflo, and two slowdowns; distance, 149 miles. The run from Syraeuse to Kojheeter, 81 miles, was made in 71 minntes, 'and from Rochester to Buffalo, 60 miles in 60 minntes, ineluding climbing the Byron hill. Thi is the fastest trip ever made on the western divisson. It so chanced that Prof, and Mrs. W. S. Hiser were passengers on the above mentioned train when that phe nomenal run was made. Mr. Hiser then took some coupe rati ve observations on train speed and these are given below: Pennsylvania Line, Number 2 Train, New York and Chicago Limited Richmond to Pittsburg, 306 miles, in 9 hours, 2 minutes. Time per mile, 1 minute. 40 seconds. Pittsbu'g to New York, 415 miles, in 11 hours, 30 minutes. Time per mile, 1 minute, 35 seconds. August 22, 1899, Boston and Albany Line.

Some Elaborate Repairs Will Be Made Before the Opening. onenine of the rink w.ll be aageu daily by the lovers of the rollers. No time has yet been fixed by the management, but aa sojn as the weather is cool enough, that popular plaje of amusement will be thrown open to the public. The aro lights have been taken out of the building and instead incandescent lights will be put in, arranged in clusters of six or eight, with highly polished mirror reflectors, so that the floor will be much lighter than heretofore. There is some talk of building a balcony at the south end, where the band was formerly stationed, to accommodate two hundred persons, but it is not known whether this will be done or not. Everything will be revarnished and repainted and will no doubt present an inviting place during the winter nights. SQUIRRELS Tricks of Some Friendly Fellows That Lived in the Country. Ours is a beautiful quiet country home at the crossing of four roads. The house Is in a large yard, filled with treee and flowers, so many trees that we have named it "The Ever greens." A few rods away is a piece of woods, first a maple sugar bus-h and below hat an evergreen swamp. Here the red squirrel live In freedom. They come from the depths of this swamp to the house, often running over the roof, jump on one of the tall pines or balsam, from them to a maple outside of the yard, whose limbs interlock over the road, on to an apple tree in tne orchard without touching the ground. Down one of the walks are some walnut and butternut trees. These the little "bright eyes" claim as their own. They not only carry away many, but drop quantities from the stem before they are ripe, says Our Dumb Animals. We gather these for their winter store. One year we raised sunflowers for the hens, stored them In a shop tnat is tHMn the nut trees and spruce that Is near more maples. We noticed how sleek and glossy our pets were ana that we had more than usuaL Thinking Biddie would . like a dessert of sunflower seeds, we sent for them, hut Presto! They were gone. Master squirrel looked wise, but told no tales. Near our kitchen door is a mammoOi pice. One bright October day we heard an unusual squirrel concert. Going to the window we saw one sitting on a projecting bit of bark, fiddling with his feet, keeping time to his music; sometimes he would rest his hands and use one of his feet. Ours being a childless home, we make pets of everything. Nearly every day we put a quantity of nuts by the roots of a pine, and a squirrel comes over the trees and fence looking for them. If we have neglected to put them there, he will hunt over and under the leaves everywhere, so disappointed. When he finds some he takes one In his hands, turning it over and over, to pick, off the outer bark, in order to hold R securely in his teeth. Away ha acanv pers with it, sometimes up n tha trees, where he tucks it in soma erotoh, pushing It down with all his tiny strength, and sometime across the road under the barn, to hide it la the bam bridge, or In the stone wall, or the board fence, and some he buries la the snow, covering them with ilia little feet. Once he took one across the road np an elm and out on a limb, dropping it into a bird's nest. The "g-de man of the house," says "he doesn't put all his eggs into one basket." The last nut he carries home, but neter are two put in the " same place. A fter a little time he comes and oarriea them all home. .. . - .
