I'Eae SAlOchneker's Dinner.
EATING A PIECE OF FLESH CUT FROM A
WOMAN's LEG.

Last week, in Chihuahua, woman
went into a shoemaker's shop in front
of his dwelling, and was measured for
a pair of shoes. The son of Crispin said
to the woman: You have Il pretty
foot Do you think so 2 said she.
He replied: Yes. That is the pret-
tiest foot in Mexico The woman was
to. come back next day and leave ST,
when the shoes were to be commenced.
The shoemakers wife, hearing all, said
nothing, The next day the shoemaker
was out when the woman with the pret-
ty foot called according to agreement,
and the wife got her into the back room
and stabbed her to death. The wife
then cut a steak out of the dead woman's
leg, and packed the body under the bed.
The shoemaker came home and ate his
dinner. The wife asked him how he
liked the meat. He answered that it
was the best he had ever eaten.' The
wife then told him he had eaten
part of the prettiest leg in NIexico.' He
asked her what She meant She showed
him the body under the bed, and made
a dash at him with a knife, but he es-
capped and ran to the Palacio and told
the judge what had happened. The
judge summoned u guard of soldiers
and went to tile house. He asked the
wife it she had committed the murder,
and when she answered yes, and at
tempted to Justify the act, he ordered
her to be shot on the spot by the soldiers,
ana mas orders were promptly obeyed."

4 few years ago loud complaints were
maue about the manner in which cotton
sampling was conducted in this city.
Tt was declared that the samples ex-
tracted from the bale were unnecessarily
large, that some persons engaged in
this branch Of the business acquired
considerable fortunes by this kind of
stealage. The attention Of the Cotton
Exchange was directed to this subject,
and five years ago system OF supervision
was established under the auspices Of
that institution, which has eiiectually
put stop to such evil practices, and
sampling is now conducted in this city
in a manner that is perfectly fair and
honest. In New York, cotton sampling
has grown into such practice of down
right robbery, that the Cotton Exchange
has been obliged to take action against
it. A few days ago indictments for lar
ceny and receiving stolen goods were
found agsinst two cotton brokers and a
large number of licensed samplers and
cartmen. Ii appears that instead of
limiting themselves to the small quanti-
fv of cotton from each bale needed to
exhibit the quality. these licensed SAM
piers take enough to make it an object
and sell it. The cartmen, it is said, fol-
low the example of the samplers, and
take dig at the bales entrusted to them
on their own account. The cotton
dealers estimate their lOssees through
this system of piIferiDg at $4,000 to
$70,500 year. The district attorney
has entered vigorously into the business
of prosecuting the thieves and brokers
who purchase from them, and it is
thonght some of the offenders will esent
to the penitentiary.-[N. O. Democrat.
An interesting table has been drawn
ND to show the fluctuations in the pro-
duction of iron thronghonS the world
during twenty seven years. Since 1850,
it appears from the figures read at a
meeting of one of the societies interest
ed in metailuRgy, there has been a very
large increase ia production OF pig iron,
in response tot demand produced by the
growing uses of the metal, and by the
formatian OF vast constructive works in
every quarter of the globe, In 1850 the |
production of pig iron in the world was
believed to be about four millions five
hundred thousand tons; in 1917 it had |
risen to 13,620,000 tons. 1T is interesting
to notice that of the IRON producing
countries. Great Britain has in the tWen-
ty seven years tRebled its production, but
in that period the output of the United
Stated has been quadrEnied and that OF
Germany has progressed iii nearly as
rapid ratio. The make OF France and
Belgium has varied greatly, but in both !
countries it is now three-fold what it was /
in 1850. In Russia, Sweden and Austro-
Hungary there is now double produc.
tion the output of Spain has increased
so per cent; that of Italy is stationary,
and that Of Norway shows q considerable
falling of.-[N. o. Democrat.

New England is becoming alarmed
over the prevalence of divorces within
its limits-and we'll it might. Chicago,
Indiana, even Utah, can show nothing
that will begin to compare with Massa-
chusetts and Vermont in this respect.
In the latter States, for instance, the
ratio of divorces to marriages, for sever
al years past, has been one in sixteen
in Rhode Island it is one ia thirteen ;
in Connecticut. one in ten-the worst
record of any State in the Union, Or of
any country in the world. tits terrible
this record of Connecticut-particularly
in view of the fact that marriages are
few and farssbetween in the State of
wooden nutmegs. The young men can
not, or will not, marry, while those
guilty of this rash act want a divorce, it
seems, before the marriage ceremony is
well completed. There is a story cur
rent-it has rows OF STATISTICS TO Sustain
it-tl'at births are alarminsly infreauent
among the native~b0rn population of
New England marriages as webave
already shown, are still more infrequent,
owing to the circumstance that the
young meG Of Yankee blood and ances-
try prefer the fertile fields of the West
to the sterile, rocky soil Of iheig native
land and now here comes divorces in
Vulnerable to still further check and
declnate the old Puritan stock, for it is
among this very population that these
divorces take place. The f0reign-born
population Of New England is almost
wholly Irish by birth. faithful children
of the Catholic church, and therefore
unwilling to seek freedom from an un-
fortunate marriage by divorce, because
the church prohibits it Making allow
ance for this fact, it is plain that among
the Pr0testants of Connecticut, mainly
the people of Puritan ancestry, one mar
riage in every six celebrated ends in an
early divorce. The disease, already
widespread, is said to be increasing
with unexpeled rapidity. IF this be so,

those who landed on plymouth Rock
