JUE1Es sometimes give very curious
yerdicts. One of the most remarkable
was that found by g Washoe jury III
case of milk-stealing. The prisoner was
tried on a charge of stealing milk from
another mans COW. Ii was proved that
he had frequently MIXED the animal at
night, thereby causing his neighbor
great ve3ation and annoyance. The
jury desired to express in their verdict
their sense Of the aggravated nature Of
the oflense. They therefore found the
prisoner guilty Of milking the COW in
the first degree"

An Agricultural School for Girls.

France has agricultural schools for
girls. One of the chief is near Rouen,
which is said to have been begun with
a capital of one franc by Sister of
Charity and two little discharged prison
girls, land to be now worth 100000. This
establishment has 300 girls, from 6 to
IL. The farm, entirely cultivated by
them, is over 400 acres in extent.
Twenty-Five Sisters form the staff of
teachers. More than one medal of the
French Agricultural Society has been
awarded to this establishment at Darne-
tel, and the pupils are in great demand
all over Normandy, on account of their
skill. They go out as stewards, garden
ers, farm managers, dairy-women, and
laundresses. Each girl has on leaving
an outfit and small sum of money,
earned in spare hours. If they want
home they can always return to Darne-
tel, which they are taught to regard as
home,

INDIAN TRUST FUNDS.

Proposed Disposition of the Money.
The bill to authorize the secretary Of the
interior to deposit in the treasury of the
United States any and all sums now held by
him, or which may hereafter be received by
him, as secretary of the interior and trustee
of various Indian tribes, on account of re-
demption of United States bonds, or other
stocks and securities belonging to the Indian
trust funds, was reported to the Senate Mon
day, by Mr.. Pendleton, with favorable
recommendation of the committee on Indian
affairs. The bill as reported differs in sever
al respects from other bills intended to 40
complish similar object, providing that
in addition to the sums before mentioned
the secretary shall also deposit all sums re-
ceived on account of sales of Indian trust
lands and sales of stocks lately purchased
for temporary investment, and that the
United States shall pay interest semi-an-
nually from the date of deposit of any and
all such sums in the United States treasury
at the rate per annum stipulated by treaties
or prescribed by law. Senator Pendle-
ton says that the necessity for the
early passage of this bill is to be found in
the fact that some of the 8 per cent. bonds
of the United States which were held by the
secretary of the interior in trust for Indian
tribes have been called in and paid by the
secretary of the treasury, and under law nc
authority exists for investment of money so
realized. Under existing laws large invest
ments Of Indian trust funds were made In
bonds of the United States. On the 25th OF
April, 1879, the secretary of the interior held,
as trustee for the several Indian tribes, $50
6 per cent. bonds amounting to $399,950
which were included in q call Of bonds for
redemption; also 1910 8 per cent. bonds,
amounting to $685. The secretary of
the interior invested the funds arising from
payment of called bonds in per cent. bonds
of 1907, as mere temporary arrangement,
to save what interest he could, until authori-
ty by this be conferred upon him. This
bill will encounter strong opposition from
Senator Edmunds, who, on q previous oc-
casion, stated in very positive terms that, in
his opinion, the government ought not to
pay interest on trust funds deposited in its
treasury.

Surname Of the English Royal Family.

At dinner, the other night, the con-
versation lapsed, as it sometimes will
lapse with the best of hosts, into ques-
tiOns hardly distinguishable from con-
undrums. A celebrated historian was
present, and I put question to him
which know has puzzled great many
people at different times, "What is the
surname of the royal familyP" "Guelph,
OF course" That is the usual answer,
and it was the historians. ! ventured
to suggest that, although the royal
family are Guelphs by descent, her
Majesty's marriage with Prince Albert
OF xe-Coburg must have the effect
which the marriage of lady has in all
other cases, and that the surname of the
present house must be the Prince Con-
sorts. But Whist is the surname of the
Prince Consort's family?" Simple,
but staggering. No one knew. All
guessed, and all were wrong. hap
rened to have looked up the subject a
few months ago, so I knew that the
name was @Wettin." OF course no one
had heard it before. Every one smiled
at the horrible idea of the Guelphs be-
ing reduced to Wettinsl The point
was referred to Theodore Martin.
you are quite right. Victim is the
family name Of the house of Saxony, to

LONDON, Feb. 3.-The Mark Lane Ep-
press says: Since the frost has again stop
ped all agricultural work and closed naviga-
ton, and seriously impeded the unloading
of vessels, whilst fogs have checked business,
growing wheat made no apparent progress
and in many fields it hasn't appeared above
ground. 1t is feared this renewal of frost
will be a severe trial on autumn sown grain.
A great deal of land is yet unplowed.
There is little alteration in the quantity or
condition of English grain sent to market,
which is still in damp and defective con-
dition. Owing to this fact and the increased
pressure to sell on the part of farmers, there
was decline of Is per quarter last Monday,
which has not since been recovered, nearly
all Influences now dominant in the market
having remained on the side of the buyers.
Imports have been on a tolerably liberal
scale for m1dwinter, shipments from India
and southern Russia coming to hand pretty
freely. This excess of supply over demand,
coupled with the rapid fall of prices in
America, caused decline of a shilling per
quarter.
Business during the week has been
marked by good deal of indecision, de.
spite the inclination of holders in conse-
quence of the further increase in the visible
supply In America, to accept low
or prices. Buyers operated very cautiously
though American prices are now reduced to
level with those ruling in this country. A
further reduction there is required, as with
out some margin of profit, importers can
scarcely be expected to operate. Feeding
stuffs quiet. The only noteworthy change
being an advance in maize of o shilling Der
quarter, owing to its decided scarcity on the
spot. Arrivals at ports of call have been
small. Although only a moderate business
has been done, red winter wheats have
shown rather frmer tendency. Gherkas
improved about shilling per quarter.
Maize with a few transactions maintained
late rates. Wheat for shipment
was very inactive. Buyers seem quite indit-
ferent to the speculative fluctuations cabled
from America. Barley remains steady.
Maize attracts little attention.

ter, against 1854 quarters

Tweaking His Own Nose.

Oliver Wendell Holmes once wagered
friend that he could make the pomp.
GUS DR.. Osgood, tie publisher, tweak
his own nose. This seemed SO absurd
to the friend, who had conceived high
notion of Osgood's dignity, that the
wager was accepted. After the business
OF a call on Osgood was concluded,
Holmes artfully led the conversation
up to the subject of noses, particular
in which Osgood was not deficient.
" Have you not noticed, doctor" said
Holmes, that all men of intellect and
great character have large nosesP" A
pause ersued, when, to the joker's de,
light. DR.. Osgood responded: cit is, I
believe, an indisputable fact" and, as he
spoke, slowly raising his hand to his
nasal appendage, following its outline
with the thumb and forefnger, and con-
Guiding with gentle satisfied tweak or
rather pull, as II to see that the whole
OF the intellectual feature was there.
