Raleigh, Aug. 89 Today there was quite a gathering here of persons in te rested in the matter of tic lease of the Atlantic and North Carolina railway. President James A Brysn came and so did SB Howlsnd of Asheville, who three weeks ago filed a bid with the Governor and put up 9100,000 guaran tee; W L Kennedy, the representative of the loeal syndicate, composed of per sons living along the line of road; the two members, B W Ballard and B 0 Beckwlth, of the State board of Internal Improvements. Mr Kennedy said he came to file a bid, after a talk with the Governor in order to ascertain the let ter's requirements. His bid Is really 8 for 60, 60 or 93 years, the last date fall ing is with the lease of the North Caro Una railway. The rental rate starts with 8 Der cent and rlsei to 0. The Board ot Internal Improvements met in the Gov ernor's office and directly afterwards Kennedy and and his associates filed their bid. H L Finlayion of the Atlantic C R Company and his bidder, arrived to day. Governor Aycock submitted all the blderto the Board of Internal Improve meets, these being the Howlsnd, the Philadelphia, the Atlantic Railway Com pany, and the Kennedy. No definite con elusion was arrived at. Beckwlth of the board was Interviewed and said, "We reacted no conclusion, Ballard has not made up his mind yet, I oppose a lease strongly. I don't take any Block In he Idea that the State can cot manage its own property. Of course If Ballard takes the same view it blocks any lease. We can reject or ratify. The State proxy Is absolutely under our di rection. This Is admitted. We meet Thursday at New Bern, where the stock holders meet."

Charters are granted the Cherokee Marble Works of Murphy and the Mountain Range Co of Ashsvllle. also Carried a Knife Elarhtaen Year. aad a Penell Five Year. The constant use of a pen point for fourteen years, a penknife eighteen years, an ordinary indelible lead pencil flvo years and a key ring nineteen years to the ordinary person sounds Incredible, bnt such Is the case with Carl Burba, a clerk in tho general cus toms office here. Mr. Burba, who wns in the drug business at New Hope for more than ten years, is now using constantly a pen paint he secured, second hand, while in the drug business, and since he has been at work for Uncle Sam he has continued to use it, preferring it to any other. During that time he has worn out two penholders, but the point is still in the prime of condition, kept bq by the care bestowed upon It by its owner. A fellow clerk was discussing the matter of care of pens yesterday, when Mr. Burba remarked that any pen or article of any kind would last for years If given the proper care. To prove his claim he drew from his pocket a knife which he had carried eighteen years. The blades gave evidence of numerous whettlngs, but not a gap or break could be seen. The knife, Mr. Burba laid, had done a full share of work since he had owned it, and Is good for many years yet. After exhibiting the knife Mr. Burba drew forth a key ring bearing the date of 1883. It Is a souvenir of the Louis ville exposition, was purchased as such by Mr. Burba during the festal occa sion and has since done constant serv ice. Mr. Burba has a special pocket for all these articles and they may al ways be found there. He says he nev er breaks the point from a pencil, never loans it but that he watches It closely and sees to It that it does not get away; never leaves the pencil, key ring or knife lying on his desk, but replaces them In their respective pockets when not in use, and by such inviolate sys tern and care he always has them about lilrn Louisville Courier-Journal.

The cyclone which raged around Moscow on June 20, causing great loss of life and tremendous damage to prop ertv, was a storm such as Is seldom seen In Russia.

This grove was coiled to to being by the Empress Anne. One day ftrom her balcony she remained, "Wfeat a beau tiful spot If only there was a grove here!" Next morning on going to her win dow she beheld a grove. The Duke or Biron had given orders that In the night all the trees in the neighborhood should be transplanted there. So In a single night the Annenhoff sky grove was planted. On June 29 It was destroyed in a second. London Mall. Skim Milk For Haara. The Utah experiment station has from time to time made some very val uable experiments in feeding milk. The testimony of the value of skim milk for hogs as a food la convincing. Com parisons are made with like experi ments of tho Wisconsin, Colorado and New Hampshire experiment stations. Hogs when fed milk and grain required much less dry matter to make a pound of gain than bogs fed on milk alone. The average of the Utah experiments showed 100 pounds of milk to be equal to about twenty-four pounds of grain. In the Colorado experiments the bogs fed on milk and grain gained more than twice as much per day and re quired but little more than half as much dry matter to each pound of gain ns did the nogs rea on grain aione. Not only did the hogs fed on milk and grain gain more rapidly, but they grew larger and were in much better condi tion. The experiments show conclu sively the great value of skim milk when fed in combination with grain as contrasted with feeding grain aione. Fall Peas For Truckers.

No horse can stand for service in Germany unless he either belongs to the government or has a certificate of soundness, breeding and Individual ap pearance, Issued by an examining gov ernment committee, says a correspond ent of Breeder's Gazette. The owner of commissioned stallions Is liable for prosecution If he has in the same sta ble a noncommissioned stallion, al though be may simply be used for farm work. When a horse has such certificate, he may stand at any place in the empire. The German coach breed dates from the old Arabian horse, and great care was used so that no small mares were bred, and their large mares were crossed up until even size was attained. Colors were also selected until only the dark predomi nated, so now the German coach horses are only bays, browns and blacks. Poultry on the Farm. For the farmer the care of 200 hens should not require over two hours dai ly, with an occasional cleaning, dust ing, kerosenlng, etc., on a stormy day during winter and probably slightly more than half this time in summer, says American Cultivator. There are always unsalable vegetables, chaff and litter containing grain or seed, table scrap, meat scrap, bones, etc., on every farm which serve admirably for poul try food. The service winch a nocn of hens will render In on orchard m the way of insect, grub, moth and caterpillar destruction and the fertili zation of the soli will nearly pay for Nutritive Properties of Miik. An adult person may live entirely upon fresh cow's milk, and many who ate se dieted in oar hospitals return to thetf homes in a better condition than when they left them, says American Cultivator. The amount of real nour ishment in milk is far greater than is generally supposed. It has been dem onstrated that "ten grains or. new cow's milk when consumed in the body produce sufficient heat to be equal to a lifting power of 1,266 pounds one foot hlch."

The London papers tell many stories about Oom Paul Kruger, most of them familiar, but there is a characteristic one, which is new, about his visit to England. Americans traveling In Eng land are exasperated by the warning, "Trespassers will be prosecuted," which confronts one everywhere in the rural districts of England. On one oc casion during his visit Mr. Kruger said: "The houses in England are very fine, but I find no happiness on your veldt. I go right away from London and sit down under a tree on the veldt to smoke, but before I get two whiffs up comes some one who says the land is his and he does not want me there. No, there is no freedom on your veldt- Wheat Estimate. New York, Aug. 29.

Oreenleaf Davis, the hermit of Mount Katahdln, tells of a blue Jays' nest that contained the shells of more man aw which the lays had stolen rrom the nests of song birds and taken home for their young to feed on.
