A Strange Plea.

In Paris. some time ago, a druggists
assistant was tried for causing the death
of man by misreading prescription.
The doctor, whose writing is very clear,
ordered eight drops of laudanum, which
the assistant carelessly read as eight
grammes. or about IA quarter of m ounce.
The overdose naturally killed the patient,
and the court sentenced the prisoner to
three months Imprisonment. His advo-
Gates urged as an extenuating circum-
stance that if the mistake had cost the
deceased his life, it had at least provided
him with painless death.

Not every criminal who incurs the
penalty of Punishment to Siberia is on
that account to be compassionated, five
may believe the accounts of Mr..
Juchanzcif's soioun in exile, recently
published by a st. Petersburg journal.
This eminent malefactor, known
throughout Russia by the significant So
briquet of "The Stealer of Millions"
has contrived to retain possession of the
enormous fortune he acquired by high
class swindling. When condemned to
deportation, he travelled to Krasnoiarsk,
the town selected for his penal residence
by the imperial authorities, in princely
style, attended bya suit of servants, car
riages, and horses, and it would appear
that he is to become the leader of
fashion in the Siberian city. Tailors,
perfumers, and tObaccOnists advertise
their wares under his name; he has been
elected a member of the leading club,
and is about to contract IN alliance with
young lady belonging to one of the
first families of Krasnojarsk. His dinner
parties are attended by the chief official
personaGes and local notabilities; ladies
of the best society flock to ms evening
receptions, and accept the splendid pres
ents with which he udiciously courts their
favor and social collntenances. 1t is pro-
posed by committee of Krasnoiarsk
"HOnnes to present him, upon his
wedding day, with wreath of laurel,
oak leaves, and roses. Altogether, for
convicted mistemeanant, undergoing

An Esquimaux's Internal Devices.


The country began to swarm with
wolves now as with reindeer, and we
would meet them daily. Often they
would come close to the igloos, and one
night Toolooah shot one Of three that
were eating with our dogs the meat he
had thrown out for food. They killed
and ate four OF Eudesik's dogs and at
tackled him when he went out of the ig-
loo to drive them off. He killed two of
his assailants with his rife and two
others by the most internal traps ever
devised. He set two keenly sharpened
knife blades in the ice and covered them
with blood, which the wolves liked, at
the same time slicing their tongues, the
cold keeping them from feeling the
wounds at the time and their own warm
blood tempting them to continue until
their tongues were 40 soarified that death
was inevitable. He also prepared some
pills by rolling up long strips Of whale
bone bound with sinew and hidden in
meat, which freezing would hold togeth-
or until it had passed into the animals
intestines, when the meat having thawed
and the sinew digested the whalebone
would open out and produce an agonix-
ing death. fanythingwere bad enough
treatment for wolves, these devices OF
Eudesik's might be so classed. Tooloo-
nh was out hunting on the 23d of Feb
ruary when pack of about twenty
wolves attacked him. He jumped upon
big rock which was soon surrounded,
and there he fought the savage beasts off
with the hut Of his gun until he got a
sure shot, when he killed one and while
the others fought over and devoured the
carcass he made the best of the oppor-
tunity to get into camp. 1t was most
fortunate escape as he fully realized.

because they often become total wreck
by the forcing process drawing on the
vital forces mnaturlly. Over-fed and
pampered fowls frequently disappoint
the breeder. Their eggs are often infer
tile, or il they to hatch, the chickens
are puny and lack CONSTITUTIONAL igor.
With regard to certain kinds Of grain
producing large increase of eggs is
true, but il we credit the statements of
breeders whose experiences differ, they
have marvellous good layers" though
fed on very inferior kinds of grain for
egg production. The secret of their
success seems to be not in the food they
give their hens, but perhaps in the mode
of feeding, caring, housing, and keep
ing them i'll healthy condition by plain
food.
1t liz also true that some kinds of i'm
proved poultry are superior to others IA
egg producers, but unless they receive
good treatment both in food and good
care the marvellous layers are not so
common, after all, in the breedersflock
To have good layers we must breed from
good laying stock. We must take prop
or care of them, feed them well on ro-
tation of varied diet, have them comfort
ably and clearly housed, exercise them
vel, and keep none but young fowls,
nd then you may calculate upon gen
crous supply of eggs in the natural way.

Increase Of Eggs.

The major portion of fowl breeders
who give close attention to their stock
have more or less, from time to time, eX-
perimented with their hens to solve the
great problem of IN increase of eggs
without arriving at any infallible rule or
guide.
One breeder has discovered that GER
tain kinds of grain will produce q large
increase of eggs. Another has found
substantial benefit by feeding stimulat-
ing food. A third party AYERS that bone
and shell with animal food have worked
wonders in the way of "shelling out.
Others insist it is in the individual merits
of some hens to be great layers regard
less of the breed, and by breeding from
none but prolific layers one is sure to
have plenty Of eggs. More say good
feeding is oil that is required by nature
for egg production, and some old fossils
will tell you that the secret is in the feed
trough and not in the breed.
Now, it has been clearly demonstrated
that the hen IL IN egg machine of nat
lures own making, and capable of being
worked to greater or lesser production
by the care and food she receives. There
is in every fowl certain amount OF
vitality. This vitality may be expended
in one or two seasons by running the
machine Mt full speed-that is, by fore
ing process; or the vital forces may be
utilized for several years by maintaining
natural condition of the organs of pro-
duction.
The increase of eggs in early spring
from fine bred fowls is often attended
with bad results, because, in our selfish.
ness and desire for the dollars and cents
that we are oil striving for, we keep the
best and most valuable of our hens lay
ing beyond their natural way by forcing
and stufling them with highly seasoned
and concentrated food.
Now this practice is evidently wrong

try, while she may not be old, is assur-
edly no longer young. At that period
she has left her youth behind her for
ever. And to be 45 when her husband
il 43 or AZ or 40 is a trial and torment
to the stoutest feminine heart. Up to
80 or 80 several years advantage on the
side of the wife il not serious. After 40
it is very serious, rs most wives their
husbands seniors have learned to their
chagrin and permanent regret, not tosay
lasting discomfort. There is perennial
charm in youth--a charm which nothing
else can supply to the average man; and
when he sees in middle age that his
wife is older than himself, he is pretty
certain to be troubled, to lament the
fact much rs he may try to hide this
feeling. How much older man should
be than his wife il the question. Some
persons hold that he should be ut least
ten years older; half Of ten il wholly
reasonable; for he Mt 45 is no older than
she Mt 50, and he is as young ut fifty-fve
us she is at forty-fve. There are strong
physiological reasons, too, why women
should be younger than their husbands,
and the social, mental and physical rea-
sons are very many. Women are seldom
able to forget their seniority-we doubt
il they ever can forget it, even though
their husbandsmay. The circumstances
tends to render them jealous, and jeal-

Will the Obelisk rot in this climate ?"
is question which number of archi-
tects and engineers, familiar with the
corroding effects of the atmosphere, are
discussing. A distinguished engineer
said yesterday that If the obelisk was
now scaling of, and, as represented to
him, was 80 soft as to be broken upon
the surface by finger nail, it would
probably have to be covered with some
wash to protect it. He did not antici-
pate 50 much damage to it from the
chemical effect of the salty air rs from
the moisture absorbed by the pores and
frozen by the cold weather. He did not
doubt that frost would flake the northern
exposure of the mammoth, and perhaps
the chemical action of the southern at
mosphere would also mar the southern
face. The effect of the weather upon
what had been deemed an excellent
quality of marble had been serious in
this locality,
