Few'people arewgre of the fact that right in th heart of the northern aectlon of the city a Philadelphia keeps what is said to be the largest guinea pig farm In the United woman States. This farm is at Twenty-seconstreet and Rulge atemie and is owned by Mrs. Scott, of 1817 North Twenty-sixtstreet. The collection Includes at prescreaent over 600 of the rodent-lik- e tures, and at times has numbered as high as 1,000. They are sold to universities, collegf a, hospitals and physicians for inoculation and medical experiments. Having a monopoly, Mrs. Scott does a thriving business, as all the prominent medical institutions, as well as the board of health, come to her for the little animals which she propagates for scientific expei imentation and extermination. ' They are peculiar in their habits and need constant care and attention in order to raise them to any style of perfi-ctioDuring a recent visit to the farm Mrs. Scott said while exhibiting her family: "I have been Interested in the beautiful little creatures from childhood and have always wanted to possess a collection of - d n my own. 'The first pair I had was given to me by my uncle. Prof. Nash, who had for many years made experiments with the guinea pig to ascertain the value of the medicinal properties of Its blood', which is closely allied to that which courses through the human He discovered that the blood body. of this little creature U absolutely pure and would prove of great value to the medical world. Knowing my liking for the guinea pig, he presented me with the first pair with which to start the farm. "I was obliged to go to Nebraska City shortly after the pigs were given me, and I was the first person to take them across the Alleghenies. I remained for seven years In Nebraska City, and during that time I gave careful study to the best methods of raising the guinea pigs. The farm I started there, on account of the extreme cold, was not very successful, and when I left that city I was able to bring only two of the little creatures with me, the others having died from asthma, an affliction which has to be carefully guarded against, as most of the little animals are more or less subject to it. With one pair I again started a guinea pig farm, this time in Philadelphia. They propagate rapHHy and in a short time I had a collection of about one hundred. The Philadelphia climate is pretty well suited to them, although they suffer greatly when subjected to either extreme heat or cold, and during the past hot spell I spent all my time In regulating the temperature of their cages. When the number of my family reached one hundred I thought that I was on the straight road to success, hut I soon discovered that of all the uncertain things guinea pigs were the ones which a person could be least sure of. -- They are extremely nervous creatures, and an unexpected noise or a sudden Jar Is sufficient to kill them. The most extreme care must be exercised during a thunder storm, as a heavy electrical outburst often Injures great numbers, and 1 have frequently lost 8s many as ten, either during or Just after a storm. Aside from their extreme nervousness they are a fairly healthy little animal. Of course great care has tolie givi-- n to their food. They are, although they belong to the rodent familyyatrictly vegetarian, and all thpir food Is raw. As I raise them strictly for the use of their blood, which must be absolutely pure, I feed 2 V" htfcse 2w Middlemen -- - Y II I them on only such vegetable as are conducive to that result Beet a, car rots, apples, green pea, oats, hay and grass are their chief diet, with now and then a very- little cabbage for a relish They eat grass In great quantities, and I have a cart load brought to m every week from my friends and doctors who are lntarested in my work Besides using the glass as a food they carpet their cages with it aud often bank It up for themselves for sleeping purposes. One very remarkable feature of their diet is that they drink haie tried to absolutely no walir tempt them to do so over and over again, thinking that they must need that which to every other creature Is a necessary beieiage, but ihey always indignantly eveft refuse to taste the water, while they eagerly drink the milk which I put before them.? Nature enables them to supply the want of water entirely through the food they eat, and the milk, which ia their ouly drink, may, of course, contain a sufficient amount of the properties of water. However that may be, the fact remains that they will DQt touch any liquid except milk. they are tiny creatures, not much larger than a large-size- d rat, they weigh from five to seven pounds, and they consume considerable quantities of food forltheir size. The average age oMhejfg is about two years, and although some have lived longer, they become enfeebled and sickly after that age. I have at present over six hundred, which I keep fn families of eleven females to one male. Their cages are of wire, and, judged that cleanliness is next to godliness, the guinea pig Is indeed a righteous creature. Not a particle of dirt or dust is allowed tb remain In their homes, and unless the cages are kept scrupulously clean and dry the pigs- sicken and die in ar very abort time. The cages nre all well ventilated, and I am obl'ged to keep a careful eye upon the temperature of the " 1 - rooms. THE WIDOW HERSELF.

Jame foreig4aHguage-4m48w4ha- haltthe time it requjres an Intelligent Engllsh-uia- n or American to make himself understood in any one of the many Chinese dialects. This disparity has Tedlo some curious anomalies In the trade of the country. Thus at all the pen ports trade with foreigners Is carried -on by means of middlemen, or agents, . ho are alwaj s nativ e They are called "comp rad ores." if a foreign merchant wishes to buy tea. silk, porcelain or other articles of native product he must do so through his compradorcs. If he. wishes to sell any article of foreign product to a native house he must again call in the emThe "comprador cotrpradore. ploys 11 the servants of the foreigner's establishments, fixes their salaries and 4s responaible for their honesty. He keeps the foreign traders bank account straightened out with the native bankers, and makes out shipping lists and Invoices. Prac'ieplly, though nominally a mere upper servant, he is the veal bead of the house, and hls word Is law. He ja usually a shrewd fellow, and 'watches closely hls employers Interests not forgetting hls own. He has certain legitimate commissions, or squeezes, as they are called, on all of hls transactions. His income Is considerable. A foreign merchant, having acquired after a long residence a sufficient knowledge of the language, decides that his business Is too much In tbe hands of natives, and dismisses hls compradore. He goes in person to some native hong and asks for samples and quotations. He Is politely shown through the establishment and otherwise treated with, consideration. But when, with a view to buying, ho Inquires for prices he gets a No have got for answer. He goes to another hong, and another and another, but always with the same result No on has anything to sell! All are behind with their orders! Let the foreign dealer return to hls office and send hia compradore on the same errand, and his orders will be promptly filled. This ts so in every department of business .where foreigners are concerned In all of the treaty porta the financial affairs of every foreign house practically art in the hands of the natives. Foreign merchants cannot hope to raeh ths market except through a class of middlemen. This is th irrevocable custom of the country. Thus commerce has utterly failed to break down tho barriers between .these strange people and the outside world. -- -- , -- |
