The annual meeting of the State '. Dairymen's association will be held at Au_irV., Mini.., Sec. 13, 14 and l€. It is : expected tnat»th_ meeting will be more largely attended this year than here ..'.vins to the fact that it ls held in a month when the dairy market is eoiii-iaratively quiet, and those inter eeted In the industry will have more time to give the meeting. The gathering promises to present some new features in the Haecker con trove: sv, which was quite fully aired at the last annual meeting. The friends of Prof. Haecker are still smarting un _<*r what they claim was injustice to him, and from what can Ire learned in dairy circles the fight will be resumed In the next convention.

The appointment of Mr. Nor ton shows thai the goveraofr appre ciates the purposes foi which the offic* of the dairy commissioner was -created. From very small beginnings Mr. Nor ton has built up. near Crcs-co, 10., one or the largest and nted dairy farms in the state, provided with all th« modern appliances for up-to-date dairying, and has stocked it with a herd which last year made an average yield of '.'72 pounds of butter. His dairy farm has not been bought and improv ed with money made in some other calling, but was earned by dairy farm ing, and his herd does not consist of purchases at fancy prices, but is home, bred. • • • The number of "n'_ cows" produced on the farm is unnecessarily iarge and ought to be lessened. There is a wide- id habit of breeding heifers once or possibly twice with the intention .f selling them while young, and as Is ■opposed wh - ' of making a good piece of beef. There will be eooug - arising necessarily from con-'oi. ed< -rs. vr.<l among those that fot any one of many reasons do not prove good stock getters: ar.d to look upon evet> heifer with an eye for bref, to calculate her body value and to at tempt to realize upon that is the worst of breeding, and it is all too universal I among breeders of the common stock ' of the country. If an individual proves to ba a good I and regular breeder she should be kept j at it _.s long as she can breed and hold hef hones together, even if she dies in the business. In other words, the body value is an insignificant element in the worth of a good breeding animal, and it should never shorten the life of such a one ly a single day. We arer pro ducing too much stock from immature females, and not enough from old and tested breeders. If it has been decided In advance t.hen a cow ehould go to the sha-nbles the most satisfactory way is to begin while yet in milk and feed moderately heavy of food not expensive. This will tend to sustain her milk yield and to fatten as the milk fails, leaving her in condition for the shambles without in curring expense for feed after she has ceased to give milk. In such cases the milk yielded will go far towards paying j the cost of feed, but when that revenue j stops she should be sold immediatel. , : fat or lean. • • • The Indiana State Dairy association will hold its ninth annual meeting at Mooresville, Ind., Wednesday and Thursday.

IS LOM M BEARTS MAN IN* NEW JERSEY PUOVIDED WITH A DOIBLE LOT OF ORGANS TWO SETS OF RIBS AS WELL William Kino;, a Negro, the 3lan, and He Saya He Is Over One Hundred Yeara Old Can Stop One Heart While the Other Goes on Beating; Able to Do Other I ni'iue Thing.. From the New York World. Out in Piainfield, N. J., there is a r_an with two hearts and two sets of ribs, to say nothing of a double breast bone. His name is William King, and he hails from New Bedford, Mass. He declares that he tab. thirty-six chil dren and so many grandchildren and great-grandchildren that he has lost sight of them. He frays he is over a century old. King has been written about in the medical journals abroad for many years. He is a coal-black negro. He arrived in P.air.fieid a cou ple of days ago on a visit to his cousin, Thomas Martin, who is vMirden of the Jail there. With him he brought letters from half a dozen French savants and from Dr. M. B. Long, of the Massachusetts General hospital, who vouched for the man's possession of two hearts and two breastbones. A reporter nnd an artist saw King at Thoma-s Martin's home. He was perfectly willing to talk about himself ■and to show the marvelous make-up of his anatomy. Baring his breast and his stomach, he sat down in a. chair. "Now feel here," he said, pointing to hie left breast. The pulsations of a heart could be felt easily. They came from the same Place that everybody else's heart beats come from. "Now feel here," said the old man. In- ] " *i* . - '; - ■ __9h_____fl --'~ ""•'- aW. "'*'% -w : TO E|. . 19 _____a___l w -^ ■ ■* __■____■ Bbs - W. B. Hennessy. who was elected from one of the representative districts of the Thirty fourth senatorial district, in the Eighth and Ninth wards of St. Paul, b?ars the ..Istim-tio-i of being one of the very few St. Paul da!'? newspaper men who have gone from the ranks of active workers into un elective office. There have been many of t.e delly newsDaner m.n of this town who have gone into appointive ofnce and one or two of th<-m essayed an election, but Mr. Hennessy is the only one who has Mtcceeded, at least In recent years. J. J. Ryder tried for the as sembly when he was on The Globe staff, but was defeated and had to go out Into tiie country to get a chance in his running. Meo who remember things political will remember the attempt that Witt K. Cochrane, on. or the cleverest of St. Paul rei>_rter_. made to beat Henry Johns, four ytat. ago. In th. Fourth w.rd. Mr. Hennessy. l.ke Ryder, •li<t. tins? h'p right breast. Sure enough, another beating, just as clear ancl free as the other, could be felt. "Those are my two hearts." said the old man. "and that's why I've lived so Ions; they have divided among them the work of keeping this old body go ing." BUT THE TWO HEART? were HA nothing compared to the next exhibition. The old trt-n rolled his ey s and twitched his skin across his body, .-.t'ddenly bis entire int:-r ot •*_ , fc»iie_ to __.11 ever arid over. Hi-- f t *>n> i.-h __,r.k w Hvd thi-.i bulged out .igrain. Viol «nt mt.fular contraction, were _ -i.iinly go ins on inside. "I'm turning myself upside dwn," said the old man, and bo he wns. One heai t was now far down on hia ltft side, while the other beat away regularly in Its old place on the right side of his (hest. But this was t _*• '« as,t remarkab.. of all. He had phot [ down another set of ribs and another breastbone, sn that the entire front of | his body was as hard as his chest. His stomach was protected by a v all. "Now I'll do some tricks," said the old man placidly. With that he proceeded to stop tht- Inating of one heart, while the other went on without any trouble. He gulp ed a bit and rolled his sides, and piesto, everything was back in shape again. "I've got two breastbones and two sets of ribs." explained King, "one be hind the other. I can drop the rear ones down over my stomach. The doc tors say I'm the only man in the world who can do it. I first noticed this when I was a boy — my chest was so hard, and no b-b-wa on lt seemed to hurt me. I guess Fitzsimmons couldn't get in any solar plexus blow on me. I can put bones in front of my plexus." "How old are you?" asked the re porter. "Well," replied old King, "I don't exactly like to say. but I'm morn a hundred. I fought in the War of 1812 under Gen. Jackson at Xew Orleans. I was in the Civil war. too, in Col. Robert Gouid Shaw's Fifty-fourth Mas sachusetts vo.-unteers. I spent threa months on Folly island and six more in Fort Wagner after we took it. I was in Company H." THOUGH PLIED WTTH QUESTIONS, Old King could answer them perfectly as far as war records go; he never slipped up once on places or dates. He carries for a cane an iron bar an inch in diameter, with a crooked handle. He can take this bar and by slapping it across his left forearm bend it a cou ple of inches ou*t of the straight line and then bend it back again. This he did for the reporter. There is a great bunch of muscles on his forearm where he hits the cane. In fact, though a man very plainly advanced in yeara, he possesses remarkable muscle* i which stand out ln bunches all over his body. Drs. M. B. Long and J. T. Fritts, | well known in Piainfield, have given I the following certificates as to King's peculiar formation: _...,T. hlB *J" t0 certify that I have examined Wnliam King an< j fl n< i him an interesting ; freak of nature. He has two hearts, one oc- ' cupying it 3 normal place ln the left thoracic ! ca .?*rx' •? other the rlglu thoracic cavity. These he*art3 he can displace downward so that they will occupy the lower abdominal re i?_SP' , where **«y can be di-.tinctly felt. "H.s liver o_._pi9s a position low down in '■ tbe abdomen. There is without doubt a : double sternum, which hs can displace down- : ward, and there is an absence of a diaphragm, i — H. B. Long, M. D." "This ls to certify that I have examined William King, ard find that he apparently I has two hearts, one on either side of the I sternum. He has the faculty of displacing . them— first one and. then the o:her— down in j his abdomen. He aiso bends and straightens a three-quarter inch iron bar by striking it over his left arm with the bar* held in the right. —J. T. Fritts, M. D." ONE OF THEmHeSCAPED.

To the imaginative cbe?rver the books piled up in the corner cf a library rotm i in this city would suggest the thought > that some mischievous baby had been ! industriously -making pin-pricks on the j large leaves, and that the print that formerly adorned them fell through the little holes; or he might think it the work of some telegraph operator, who copied the daas a_id dashes of his be loved Morse -ivith some needlelike in strument. But both conjectures would I be wrong, for these are books for Bight- j lees readers, a:«_ the room where the* are distributed is calkd the New York Free Circulating Libra- y for the Blind. The books are large. ponderous volumes, for if the "print" is too close it is more difficult to interpret. 'The fln.ly sensitive touch that blind he po-siss." an attendant said y.=. t-rday, "seems to recompense them for the less of their other faculties. They sweep their fingers gantly along th. pages, and an intelligent look, that be speaks humor, pathos, deep thought or denial of the statements made, flashes across the face with a marvelous quick ness that tells how rapidly the story I* unfolded." Some of the books have the raised letters, and this style Is- called the "New York point," but the others, that look like pin-pricks, are ln the "Moon print," which is a comparatively new invention. The library is open on Mon days, Thursdays and Saturdays from 1 to 4 o'clock, and books may be ob. tamed by those who c__r.r_ot go to the building by paying a small fee for theii transportation. Among the volume are works on poetry and the drama, culture and music, religion, politica. economy and civil government, history and biography, physiology, romance, travel an-d psychology. There are many entertaining books for children, too. Maiilcal Watch. A curious watch has been brought out in France.
