has not issued grants of land without reference to

Mr.. CLAYT0N-Yes, sir; he has undoubtedly
done so, az will be found by reference to a letter
from our Minister in Central America Of July 10,
1919, In which II is stated that the municipal and
other regulations have been dictated by the English
Consul who has assumed the entire direction of af

there is no appeal and that he assumcs to sell the

DANGEROUS EATING. Pheasants are said
to be poisonous as food during severe cold and
deep snow. They are then deprived Of their
ordinary food, and eat the leaves of evergreen
bushes, some of which are poisonous. The
Philadelphia Ledger, on this subject, says
During the British occupation of Philadel-
phia, when the officers INDUCED themselves in
pheasant-shooting on Wissasickon heights,
seven persons were poisoned at the supper sue
ceeding the sport. The bird, unable, on ac-
count of the depth of the snow, to find his nat
ural food, was compelled to feed on the buds
and leaves of the laurel (kalnia latifoHa.) y
Death ensued. A scientific friend has just ex-
hibited TO US the crop and intestines, with the
body Of the pheasant, weighing lb. IA 3-4oz.
The crop and stomach were crammed with
half-decomposed laurel. One pair OF such
birds might render family helpless for weeks
if not poison them to DEATH

COMMERCIAL VALUE OF THE Hoe. The
Working Farmer states that the best crop,
this year in the United States, will fall little
short of TWO hundred millions of dollars, or
50,000,0 900 more than the cotton crop. Mr..
P. L. Simonds, in the transaction of the High
land Society, gives some interesting statistics
of the number of swine raised in the various
countries, as near as can be aseertained. In
the United States there are believed to be 50,-
000, 900, or more than in all the states OF En-
rope combined In Great Britain the number
is estimated at 1000 900, of which ireland
has large proportion, and Scotland scarcely
200 900. Austria has about 5 500, 900 swine,
and Austrian Italy 25O, 900. France has from
5,0O0,OO0 to 5000, 900. Russia has an i'm
mense number OF wild hogs, but they are
merely skin and bone, valuable principally for
their brisiles. 1t is estimated that 96 900, 900
lbs. of lard are made in the United States-oi
which &c, ,OO0, 900 are made in Cincinnati
England and Cuba take each annually 9,000,-
900 lbs. OF American lard.

ANOTHER OBJECT OF ARCTIC PURSUIT. 1t
was hoped when the northwest passage was
discovered, and shown to be of no practical
value, that we should hear no more of Polar
expeditions. But it seems that one object OF
pursuit has only given place TO another. The
northwest passage having lost interest, the
open polar sea now attracts public attention,
and invites further explorations. 1t seems
that such sea has been for long time known
10 the Russians. 1t is supposed there may be
islands in this sea, covered with verdure; and
this supposition is strengthened by the fact,
that beyond latitude IS degs., birds wing their
way northward on the approach of cold wealth
er, as our birds do southwark at like season.
Dr. Kane thinks this conjectural sea will yet
be reached and explored. The interest of such
a discovery will doubtless attract adventurous
spirits, but it is TO be hoped that it will not
lure as many brave men 10 destruction as the
northwest passage did.

And let me see my prayers fulfilled,

The Electric TELEGRAPH IN SWEDEN
Two young peasants, belonging to resPecta-
Bile family residing at Skarebergin, Sweden,
were arrested short time since, and commit
ted to prison. The charge against them is for
having cut away part of the wire of the elec-
tric telegraph from Vennersburg to Lidkdep-
ing, which has been but recently opened. As
the snow lay deep on the ground, the foot
marks of the persons who committed this act
were distinctly traced from the place where
the wire was cut TO Skarebergin, where the
police soon discovered the offenders, and also
the wire which had been cut of, The young
men did not deny the act, but rather gloried in
it, saying that 'the electric telegraph is the
invention of the devil, and contrary to the will
of Cod These young men belong to a sect
which is numerous in Sweden, called the
Readers, the members of which are the most
violent fanatics.- Gaigndni.

A CHEAP TELEGRAPH. In Switzerland the
magnetic telegraph is brought within the reach
of all by its cheapness as means of transmit
ting messages. Only eighteen cents are
charged for message to any part of the coun-
try, and the great use made of the wires by the
public, is the best argument in favor of its
cheapness. A student borrows book from a
distant library by telegraph; a peasant in
quires after the health of his son at the feder-
al camp, and a traveller bespeaks bed, orders
dinner, or engages guide, by telegraph
This democratic use of the noble invention
strongly contrasts with the monopoly of it
maintained by despotic Russia, where, there
are 6OOO miles of wires in operation, but all
exclusively used for official dispatches.
