EEA French physiologist named
Bert says that he has dried a rats tail
under the bell of an air-pump and in
immediate proximity to concentrated
sulphuric acid, so as to deprive it grad
ually of all moisture. Then he put it
into hermetically sealed glass tube, in
which it remained four or five days.
Next he put it into q stove, where he
subjected it for some hours to temper
ature of 9S degrees centigrade, and
subsequently sealed it up a second time
in the tube -Four days more having
elapsed he united this tail by its cut ex-
tremity to the freshly cut stump Of a
living healt y rat. The tail socn be
gan to expand and perform all ''the ma
tural duties of tail" Three months
afterward the unfortunate rat was COM
PEELED to assist at second amputation,
and Mr.. Bert proved conclusively that
the once desiccated tail was furnished
with all proper vessels and was living
part of the second rat.

The iOrder Editor,

The editor Of the Owyhee Avalanche,
by way of describing his agreeable voca-
ton as conductor of frontier paper,
makes the following interesting reflect
ions: EF
"Oh the felicity of editing a paper /!
Charming, agreeable, in horn! FasciI-
ating, attractive occupation but so difi-
cult to appreciate. How nicely and
smoothly one gets along without an .son-
pleasantness!" For instance, in recent
issue we referred directly to ruffian
know as Captain Prescott, and inciden
tally to guerrilla named AL Cage We
did this in justice to ourselves and the
community at large The other day,
while quietly seated in our sanctum tax-
ing our brain for more copy, in response
to the everlasting cry of the devil, the
two above named villains, one of them
armed with hatchet, and the other with
a bowie knife Of large dimensions, made
a violent attack upon our person. Tie
only alternative was to fight or die. We
accordingly seized large knife about
two feet long, used for cutting paper and
bled our assailants pretty freely. They
sued for mercy. We spared their worth
less lives and told them to dust, and they
got up and busted We would take this
occasion to state, that if ever they, or
any one else, attack us with the intention
of doing US bodily harm we will shoot
them dead in their tracks, or cut their
throats from ear to ear.

EyIn Berlin, recently, apoor beggar
woman was arrested for vagrancy at the
moment when she implored' a baker to
give her a piece Of bread, The history
Of her life, as she related it to the officer
who took her to jail, was very interest
ing one. Many years ago she had en-
igrated, with her husband, to Mexico,
where he had entered the army, and
finally been promoted to a captaincy
shortly after, he had fallen in battle
Deprived of all means, the widow had
returned to Berlin, where she had been
sent to the poor house. Meanwhile,
the Emperor Maximilian had ascended
the Mexican throne, and one day the
warden of the poor house told her that
she need not stay there any longer, the
Mexican government having granted
her a pension of one thousand dollars.
This enabled her, for some time, to live
decently, until the Emperor's execution
deprived her again of her pension, and
soon after she was as poor as ever.

Cooking Feed for Hor..

I am fattening some It's hogs this
season, and cook all their food. in watts
of about II barrels each, and of which
there are 3, and cook every day and feed
a little warm; and my stock hogs are
fed in the same way. Two years since
did not cook the feed, but last year and
this l have, and am satisfied that at least
333 per cent. is saved by cooking. My
hogs increase in weight faster upon Of
the feed, which is mostly cornmeal with
a small amount of beef scraps, say 10
per cent.
l sold last season about 60, 900 pounds,
and | think the amount will not fall
short of that this season, and am now
siaughtering almost daily I have no
doubt that for fattening cattle it will
pay large per cent. to cook their feed.
As to sheep l cannot judge. I use .
tubular boiler, upright, five horse power,
and use about one ton of coal per
month, at cost of say 50, repairs and
other incidentals say Sc per month, ma
king total cost of SIS month, which
does not include the interest upon tho
first cost, nor the general depreciation -
The first cost Of boiler, vats, pipe, forcs
pump, etc, and car to handle feed upon
was about S475. l think make a saw
ing by cooking, after deducting the ex-
ira expense, Of not less than $1,000 per
annum
| My pork this year will pay fair prof
it, and have sold none for less than l5c,
and some for 16c per pound. .-Corres-

Causes SuddenD Death.

Very few Of the sudden deaths which
are said to arise from disease Of the
heart do really arise from that cause
To ascertain the real origin of sudden
deaths an experiment has been tried in
Europe, and reported to scientific con
gress at Strausburg. Sixty six cases OF
sudden death were made the subject OF
a thorough post mortem examination
in these cases only two were found who
had died from disease of the heart. Nine
out of sixty-six had died from apoplexy
while there were forty-six cases Of con-
oestion Of the lungs-that is, the lungs
were so full of blood that they could
not work, not having room enough fol
sufficient quantity Of air to support
life. The causes that produce conges-
ton of the lungs are cold feet, tight
clothing, costive bowls, sitting still until
chilled after being warmed with labor or
q rapid walk, going too suddenly from
a close room into the air, especially aftel
speaking, and sudden, depressing news
operating on the blood. These causes
of sudden death being known, an evi-
dencG of them may serve to lengthen
many valuable lives, which would 9th
erwise be lost under the verdict of heart
complaint. That disease is Supposed to
be inevitable and incurable hence, many
may not take the pains they would to
avoid sudden death, if they knew it lay
in their power.

Horrible Case of CannibaEisIn--
A Mother and Two Children Ea.
ten by Arabs!

The Temps contains an account of
a fearful case Of cannibalism which has
just come to light in Algeria. The par
tieulars may be summed up as follows:
One Ben Nacher recently had a COW
stolen from his field. Suspicion having
rested on an Arab named Ben Aissa,
search was made on his premises. Moth
ing Of the missing animal was however
found, but on looking into a bush a lit
tie distance from the house a bucket Of
pieces Of meat was found The wife of
Ben Aissa Immediately stammercd ont
that they were the remains of q donkey
which her husband bad killed tie pre-
ceeding night. But she did rot long
persist in this story; hit on the bucket
being turned topsy turvey, a number Of
feet and hands tumbled ont. Three
heads, which had been sinCed. were next
discovered in the same spot Tie re-
mains having been collected together,
they were Immediately recognized by
Ben Nacher and his companions as those
of woman named Ben Youssef and
her two children The clothes of the
victims were next found hidden in the
same bush, little farther off,
Fatima Ben Aissa being pressed to
give some explanation of the affair,
made the following terrible confession
"My children and I had not eaten
anything for several days, when the
twin brothers Mohammed Ben Ali and
Kadour Ben Ali, came to us to propose
that we should kill and eat the children
of Fatima Ben Youssef, aged eightyear
They agreed and we forthwith put our
project in execution in ravine situated O
short distance from where 1 lived The
mother coming near the spot at the no.
ment when we were stran9ling the chill
dren, we decided to kill her also, from
fear Of being denounced. The three
murders consummated, VIC cut the bo-
dies up. The twin brothers / have al
ready named took a part and left the
remainder, the heads, feet and hands
being comprised in one portion. As.
sisted by my children, l forthwith took
the part allotted me home; l boiled Q
part up, which we ate, and put the rest
aside in order not to exhaust all oul
provisions in one day / also fayed
the three heads and put them where
they have just been found"
All the parties concerned in this hor
rible affair have been arrested. They
each attempt to throw the burden of the
crime on any shoulders but their own.

The Democratic State Ticket.

An absurd rumor is going the rounds
that the Radicals of Woodsfeld propose
to con est the election in this county on
the grounds of the illegality Of the Dem
ocratic ticket.
If the tickets were Illegal, owing to
the peculiar heading, which We do not
believe, the only penalty attached is fine
and Imprisonment Of the person print
ing and circulating them had each ticket
been printed on a half sheet of paper
the size the esprit" is printed On, with
the words on complained of, the election
would not have been void, neither would
that have been any ground of contest.
Our readers may rest assured there
will be no contest; also, that had
there been the slightest chance for the
Johnny RAIDS, they would have ''gone
for it" as that is their only hope for an
Office in "Old Monroe" The voters,
the people. are ''fornenst" them in Mon

Salary Of the President.

The salary of the President is $4,000
a year 1t was fixed at this sum in the
early days Of the Government, At that
time it represented five times as much, if
not ten times as much, as it represents
now. 1t is altogether too small to sup
port the President in proper style, and to
enable him to meet his necessary expen-
ditures rs Chief Executive of the nation.
1t ought to be, at the very lowest, $780,,
GOO. We have no doubt that the next
Congress will take some action in this
matter. President Grant should not be
compelled to live in the cheap boarding
house style-Nsw York Times.

he live near St. Louis?- Drive slow,

Rights In New Jersey

at an early hour yesterday morning
Mrs. Hannah Blackwell, a highly-es-
teemed elderly lady, long resident in
Roseville, New Jersey, and Mrs. Lucy,
Stone, her daughter in law, both of them
property holders in their county, and
taxpayers, appeared at the polls in Rose,
vile, accompanied by Messrs Bathgate
and Blackwell as witnesses, and offered
their votes
The judges of election were divided
as to tn propriety of receiving these
ladies' votes, one Of them stating that
be was in favor of doing SO, and the
two others objecting, on the ground Of
their alleged illegally
The ladies stated that they had taksn,
advice Of eminent lawyers, and we're
satisfied that women are legally entitled
to vote in New Jersey, from the fact that
the old constitution of the State COM
ferred suffrage upon sail inhabitants"
worth $3.50. {.
Under that old constitution women
did, in fact, very generally vote But
in 1907, by an arbitrary act OF the Leg
isiature, women were excluded from the
polls. :.
The new constitution, adopted in 1874,
was framed by convention and adopted
10y constituency from both of which
women were thus unconstitutionally ex-
cluded; so that they have never been al
lowed to vote upon the question Of their
own disfranchisement ,rt,
The article in the present constitution
on the right of suffrage confers it upon
"white male citizens, bat does not ex-
pressly limit it to such.
1t is claimed that from the compulso.
ry exclusion of the parties interested
from the formation and adoption of the,
new constitution, and from the absence
of any express limitation therein, the:
political rights of women under the old
constitution still remain valid. "fF
Mrs. Stone stated these points to tho
judges Of the election with clearness and
precision. After consultation, the votes
Of the ladies were refused.
The crowd surrounding the polls
gathered about the ballot-box, and lis
tened to the discussion with respectful
interest. But every one behaved with
the politeness and consideration which
gentlemen always manifest in the pres
ence OF ladies.-New York Post.
