IN THE NEW YORK DIVORCE COURT, on
Tuesday, Judge Curtis denied q divorce
upon very good grounds. The petitioner was
named Harding, and some time ago, fro m
motives of personal dislike he shot man
namad Landt. AS suit for assault was
threatened, ii afterwards occurred to Har-
ding that motives of personal dislike did not
Justify the action before jury, however po-
tent they might appear in his own view OF
the matter; SO he made the well-wOrn plea
that Landt was the destroyer of his domestic
peace. Here arose new difficulty. 1t was
suggested that there was great Inconsistency
in shooting man for interrupting his mari
tai relations, when al the same time the az
grieved husband did not think 1t worth
while to discontinue those relations, or even,
30 far as the testimony showed, to mention
the fact to his Wife So the husband, to sup
port his defence, brought suit for divorce.
Judge Curtis, however, denied his petition,
drawing from the history OF the case its OBJ
viOus moral, that 1t is not competent for q
man TO escape punishment for an assault by
bringing suit for divorce against his wife.
This case has attracted much attention in
New York, and the decision is generally
commended, the motive for which the petit.
TONER asked q separation having been
plainly shown.

WORK IN THE PHILADELPHIA MINT
According to Philadelphia papers, In the
meters department of the United States
Mint there, during the past four weeks, the
mercury has reached from log degrees to 12O
degrees, with an occasional dash up to AS
degrees. In the rolling room of the coiner's
department IL has averaged from 100 degrees
to HOB degrees, and in whitening room from
40 degrees to 40 degrees. Experienced men
can only be employed, hence Substitution is
impossible, and many OF the workmen have
fallen at their posts. Every night they go
home completely exhausted. Most of the
men have been employed in the mint from
fifteen to fOrty-fve years, and they all say
that this is the hottest season in the history
OF the mint. Notwithstanding this great
heat, the coinage has kept up to the average
of $500 600 to $3.50, 200 q month. Almost
throughout June the Treasury department
relied upon the Philadelphia mint entirely,
the minis at San Francisco and Carson City
having been closed for repairs. Within the
last thirty days this mint has turned out the
largest coinage in number of pieces ever
issued by any mint in the world In the same
time. In the fiscal year ending June 80,
sS,250, 937 30 in gold had been coined, Sc. co.,.
500 in silver, and $500, $50 I'm base metals. a
total of els, 121 100.

VALUABLE USE OF DYNAMITE.-They are
using dynamite cartridges in Scotland to rid
fields OF stumps of trees and OF boulders too
hard to break and too heavy to move. The
operation in both cases is said to be very
simple and very effective. The earth Ia clear
ed around the stump, hole pierced In the
roots, and dynamite cartridge inserted, TO
which q fuse Is attached OF sufficient length
TO allow the operator to get out OF the way.
The explosion OF the cartridge skaters the
stump to fragments. Forty rtumps, 1t is as
serted, can thus be removed in an hour.
With boulders the operation is still more
simple. The cartridge with its fuse Is placed
on the top OF the stone, which ts then covered
with sand. The explosion breaks the stone
into pieces small enough to be handled, and

days later the old birds all leave the young
behind to take care of themselves, with the
exception OF q few old enes which remain TO
lead them along. When the pigeons first
make their appearance they are caught on

Wnlcu are worked so as TO decOy them In
such situation that the nets can be
thrown over them. After freQuspting the
high lands for about two weeks they make
their way to the marshes ana salt beds,
where they love very much to remain. These
birds also frequent the 'deer licks," and
artificial salt beds are made by thoroughly
mixing salt with the mud on which they
Will bait. One piece of ground embracing
only about ten acres was let for 5000 for one

Young was here he caught 400 dozen pigeons
himself, and with what he bought he shipped
to Boston and New York 500 dozen In all,
live and dead taken together. He started
from Shelby with 40 dozen live birds and
arrived In Boston with 3S5 dozen, which was
a remarkable feat. The birds were put In
two feet and nine inches In width; they
were fed on soaked corn, for the birds
are very thirsty, and this served as q
drink and food at the same time. They were
Watered by means OF a large trough which
was made larger than the coops, and into
this each coop was dipped, and as the water
came through the cracks In the bottom they
would stoOp their heads and drink. After
arriving In Boston they were sold to the
"shoots" for s2.25 dozen, and what dead
birds were shipped while he was out there
he sold for SLIGO to sl75 per dozen. Two
years ago Mr.. Young shipped 1 400 dozen
to 81 70 dozen. While at Shelby be bought

to him, SO that 1t only cost 50 cents a bushel,

three dozen young birds, which he will train
as "stool pigeons" and which were exhibit
