Growth and Weigh. Of Children.

Some interesting studies with re-
ference 70 the health and growth Of
children have been made by Dr. Boul-
ton, Of the Samaritan Hospital, Lon
don, and, instead Of taking the aver
age Of a large number Of children
measured once, he adopted the plan
oI measuring Il number of children
oi normal growth, brought UP under
average circumstances. many times,
thus asccrtalDg their rate Of increase.
By TINS means, the annual rate Of
growth was found to vary between
two and three inches for each child
per year. DR.. Bonlton believes that
when a child varies more than quar-
ter Of an inch annually, or when his
weight does not correspond with his
height within n margin Of safety
put at seven pounds-thcn it is safe
10 conclude the child's diet is not
good, or possibly some disease is
lurking in his system. The curious
fact appears that loss Of weight al
ways precedcs the development OF
consumption.

THOSE who acted upon the advice

ter OF topping all the barren stalks
before the pollen becomes ready to

trouble, but it will pay big. Better
than topping is TO cut out all the bar

them TO the cows. This will give
those which have set ears better
chance for full development and rip

from year TO year, and before you

same circumstances than il does

CHANGING THE CRoP.-The advan-
tagcs Of n rotation, either regular or
irregular. result from number of
considerations. some Of the more i'm
porlant OF which are as follows
First, different crops require food
elements in different proportions
thus potatoes require much more
potash than wheat, and this crop
grown for succession Of years would
exhaust The natural supply much
more rapidly than when only grown
with a number of other crops be-
tween. not demanding large amount
Of potash. In the second place q TO-
tation. when managed properly, en-
ahlcs one crop TO prepare food for
another. Clover sends long tap-rOots
into the subsoji which act as pumps
10 bring up food elements that may
be used by surface feeding crops that
follow. Thirdly, IS different crops
require different methods OF culti-
walton, the rotation can be so ar
ranged that there will bc constant
supply Of labor distributed through
out the whole season. For the same
reason the variety Of crops permits Of
a better cultivation and Improvement
OF the soil, the destruction Of weeds.

LYNCH LAW.

That suspected criminals should have
fair trials aud be given every chance to
establish their innocence,is a proposition
sustained both by law and justice. 1t
not infrequently happens that circum-
stances, which at first sight, point con-
clusively to the guilt of the accused, are
readily dispelled when submitted to ia
dicial investigation. But of late years
the delays of the law have grown inter.
minable and so numerous are the legal
devices used by shrewd lawyers, that the
crime is well nigh forgotten before the
final decision is reached. In au adjoin-
ing State murderer, still unhung, has
already had three trals,in each of which
verdict of guilty was rendered, and
there yet remains chance for pardon.
As result of such delays there has arisen
i'll some parts Of the country,a feeling of
uncertainty and of impatience that has
led to the unlawful and unwarrantable
hanging of persons whose guilt was con
sidered past doubt. Those who read
newspapers carefully must have been sur.
prised at the number of lynchings that
have occurred daring the past twelve
months. Most of these summary exc
cutions have been for monstrous and re-
voting crimes, and this fact has to q
great extent restrained public condem
nation of those who unlawfully punished
the guilty. Lynch law is utterly in
defensible-it is opposed to the written
law and to every Drincinle of dprpncy
and moraity--and it is TO be deplored
that there are many instances in which
right and justice are set aside in favor OF
the indignation and wrath OF the hour.
II lyncling were rcsorted to, where there
are no courts to try the Offenders. the
matter would be different, but such is not
the case, In the majority of lynchings
during the year, the prisoners have been
taken from the custody of the Sheriff and
out of securely fastened cells 1t is i'm
possible not to conclude that in these
cases the people were unwilling to await
the slow and doubtful process of the
law. A subject SO grave as this demands,
and must eventually receive the attention
of our Lawmakers, though in Just what
way the present modes of legal prOce-
dure can be changed cannot be deter,
mined without study and reelection. The
main point to be decided is, whether the
guilt or innocence of n prisoner can not
be determined with less delay than is
now available to those who have money
TO pay Tor the hest OF legal talent
