TOPICS OF THE DAY,

The unfortunate animals imported to
England from America, says the 81. James
Gazette, still continue to suffer untold
misery during their passage across the
Atlantic. From the United States there
were imported, in 1881, to the ports OF
Barrow-in-Furness, Bristol, Cardiff
Glasgow, Hartlepool, Hull, Liverpool,
London and South Shields, 473 cargoes
of animals, consisting of 1O3, ,693 cattle,
1928 sheep and 1,773 swine; of which
176 cattle, 96 sheep and 10 swine we're
landed dead, and ITO cattle, 80 sheep
and 13 swine were so much injured
that it was necessary to slaughter them
Immediately on landing; 1887 cattle,
047 sheep and 221 swine were thrown
overheard during the voyage.
One little touch of superstition, TO-
gether with strange coincidence which
will not tend to diminish that super
stition, was noticed in connection with
the death of Garibaldi. So soon as his
death was publicly announced, all the
numbers which could be formed out OF
the dates and hours thereof were freely
played in the public lotteries of Italy.
Thirteen was the favorite number, he
cause it included many of the combina.
tions, and is superstitiously regarded IS
the "death number" And thirteen
was the first number drawnl The
amount of money won by the poor
people in small SUMS was something un-
precedented-a fact which gave rise to
the popular expression: eyes, Carl.
baldi always took the part of the poor
against the rich"
There is weed in the South known
as the wild coffee plant, which has
caused the planters a good deal of
trouble and annoyance, and has conse.
quently been greatly despised. It has
recently been discovered that the plant
has its use, and rope can be made from
it equal to the best hemp, and stronger
and finer than iute. The discovery was
made by negro who needed piece of
rope, but could find none. On looking
around his attention was attracted to
this plant, as he cut the stalks and
treated them in the same manner as he
had been accustomed to see hemp
treated in Kentucky, and the result wa
a fiber of good length and of surprising
strength, which the old man soon con-
verted into rope.
The brothers Tocci, born in Turin
Italy. in 1877, are considered to be even
more curious than the famous Siamese
twins. They have two well-formed
heads, two pairs OF arms and two tho.
races, with all internal organs, but at
the level Of the sixth rib they coalesce
into one body. They have one right
and one left leg. 1t is curious fact
that tho right leg moves only under the
control of the right twin (named Bap-
tiste), while the other is movable only
by the left twin (named jacob As a
result, they are unable to walk. The
left foot is deformed, and is an example
of talipes S4uinus. Each infant has
distinct moral personality; one cries
while the other is laughing; one is
awake while the other sleeps. When
one is sitting up, the other is in posi-
tion almost horizontal.

making it !: Fill quart bottle up to the

mixture well; place il lin q room Of the
temperature Of 80 to 50 degrees Fahren-

be perfectly pure. and the yeast fresh.

enter the school-rooGl to fall into all kinds
of trouble Their brains are iisorgan-
lied by the indigestible food they have
eaten. Ii we should feed them upon
milk, oatmeal, aid such nourishing
things in the morning, with plenty of
rare, broiled beefsteak at noon, they
might not develop INN diatelyia to little
angels, perhaps, but they certainly would
have roster cheeks and brighter minds.
The question Of what one shall eat is in
exhaustible, however, and every one has
different opinion concerning it. 1t is
the business Of the housewife to know
something about the subject from a
chemical standpoint. and to regulate the
dinners of her family so that they may
not only be palatable but healthful.
Pies, buildings, rich pastry of all kinds,
in fact, should always be tabooed in
family where there are no. children; but
after these are denied diet may be pro-
scribed which is at once wholesome and !
appetizing. There is great deal in the
manner Of preparing food to render it
harmless. For instance, the oyster,
either broiled, stewed, or raw, is the
most easily digested of edibles; but fried,
it stands revealed as the father of night
mares. Yet, such is the contrartness Of
human nature, most people prefer it
fried Few of us can resist q dish Of
crisp, smoking oysters thus prepared,
even at breakfast time, though it be
much more yirtuous to eat buttered
roll. An unruly appetite leads us into

WIfY WE DIE EARLY

Some Of the reasons why men catch
cold and find premature graves:
Living nine tenths of thair days in the
house breathing house air bleaching
in the house, and getting thin aud sal
low IN the house. Sitting down to eat
tired and perspiring, and then wonder
ing why nothing touches the right
spot" and ones food seems to do no
good.
Soaking and scrubbing oneself to
death i'll daily hot baths.
Taking health paper and trying to
live up to its directions.
Going to bed hungry. Getting crazed
with an idea that it's unhealthy to eat
nights.

The Anthropological Society Of France
had under discussion, not long ago, the
question whether the dog descends from
the wolf. M. Harbourdin said that he
had brought up wolf that was now 6
years old and was as gentle as lamb.
1t was, beside, remarkably intelligent,
and could open the doors by turning the
handles. When it heard clock strike
it would stand on Its hind legs to look
behind, and would move the hands
round with its paws. 1t lis fond of per-
fumes, and lives on good terms with
poultry and other animals, but has
great aversion for cats. Its bark resem.
bles that of dog. M. de Mortillst, on
the other hand, said that he had been
endeavoring in vain to tame wolves.
They We're gentle enough so long as
they were young, but became savage at
the adult age.

England and the Channel Tunnel,

England's safety against the colossal
armies Of the continental powers is in
The streak of blue water which separates
her from them, and in her superior nayy.
Her policy is that this shall always be
superior No matter what extensions
continental powers may make in their
nayieS, England will make greater, and
will keep Il navy that will be equal to
that Of ali other powers combined. Her
enormous wealth makes her tempting
prize to invasion by powers which, al
though they have armies four or five
times rs great rs hers, arc comparative
~ poor
Her Government, therefore, may be
reasonably apprehcnsive that the tunnel
railroad under the channel will make q
vulnerable spot. In modern times they
give the blow and the word of war to-
gethcr, if not the blow first, II such
power a Germany or France could, by
surprise, seize the north end Of the tun-
mel, it could bring troops through il fast
err than England could bring them to
oppose. In short, such surprise would
be the conquest Of England. That the
other end i, now in France, is no secur-
ity that it may not be seized by Ger
many. Nor is it wise to trust to the
friendship Of France, nor to suppose that
her army will always be as lacking in the
qualities of an army as now.
In order to guard against surprise,
it would be necessary to be always arm
ed, The opening Of the tunnel would
make necessary great forts and garrisons
to guard it, and a regular tunnel squad
ron. All these could not remove the
fact that this was the weak spot but
would confess it. England may well
look upon the projected tunnel as like
the wooden horse which the Greeks pre-.
scented to Troy, Cincinnati Ga2cttc.

Profit in Onions,

More money can be realized from n
given amount Of land in onions. taken
one season with another, than from any
other crop that can be raised. A large
amount Of hand labor is required, how
ever 10 produce the crop, which must
be put in very early. The labor Of old
persons and children can be utilized TO
good advantage in raising onions, as
most Of the work required is light. The
best land for onions is black muck con-
tanning a good deal of loan. The ma
nure should be the most thoroughly rot
ted part from the farm-yard. Too much
manure can not De used. 1t Should be
well mixed with the soil, say by spread
ing, turning under and cross harrow
ing. This should be done in the fall to
secure the best results. In the spring
the ground should be cultivated and
narrowed till it is fine As it can be made.
Then the onion seed should be drilled
in rows fourteen inches apart 1t will
take four or five pounds Of seed to the
acre. As good variclie; as any are yell

onions appear they should be hood or

ing onions is TO keep them free from
weeds. Therefore, hoe or cultivate fire.

moment be above the surface When
the onions are ripe they should be pull

are dry; then they are gathered up and

Playing She Had a Dead Husband was
Just Too Sweet for Anything.

Mr.. Henhoper had his life insured for
$4,000. Several nights afterward,
while he and his wife sat by the fire, lie
remarked: look here, Jane, Eve been
thinking this matter over, and it now
seems to me that have made mistake
in having my life insured"
why, Jody," replied the wife, 'the
money will be paid in case Of your
DEATH
Yes, in case Of my death. But hang
1t all, don't want to die. II had a
store | could have il insured, burn 1t
down, and make several hundred dollars
on the transaction, but YOU don't sup
pose that man wants 10 commit sui
eide, do YOU? Wonder if can't rig up
some scheme for beating this game?
IL don't sec but one way, and that
would result in the death Of US both for,
Jody; il you were TO die | would take
poison. ! would cut my throat with an
old case knife rather than live without
my Jody," and she put her arms around
his neck and wept.
u tell you, y said the husband, aftera
few moments reflection, 81 Il be found
dead Don't look frightened" He then
unfolded his plans. He would get q
skeleton, put lot of bruised meat
around it, stuff the whole arrangement
into an old suit of clothes, put it in the
bottom OF well not far from the house
and cave the walls in. The idea was a
happy one. The coroner would hold an
inquest when the remains were brought
out, everything would be satisfactory.
and the insurance company would pay
the money. Then the husband would
slip home, take his wife and leave the
country.
The other morning report was cir
culated to the effect that well had
cayed in upon Mr.. Henhoper, and that
his wife was almost crazy. Hpnh0per
was well known in Little Rock. and the
accident caused sensation. After three
days Of hard work the mangled remains
were reached. The coroner held hur-
ried inquest, and the jurymcn held their
noses and said Poor fellow, what
horrible dea,hm The money was paid
TO Mrs, Henhoper. AT one time it was
thought necessary to send her to an asy-
lum, but she improved gradually until
people said the blow would not Kill her.
Henhoper waited and waited, expect
ing 10 receive some word from his wife,
and failing, stole home at night. The
house was dark. Crawling through q
window, he entered his wife room. On
n table lay a letter addressed to him,
The contents were a. follows:
"Jody; The idea Of playing you are
dead is too sweet to relinquish, and |
have concluded to 20 away with anoth-
err man who tells me that he can judi
ciously invest my ten thousand dollars. |
am stIil your friend, however. and if you
ever ret hard up and tramp out my
way, You may rest assured that I'll give
you lift"
just as llcnhopcr finished reading the
letter, An officer entered the room and
led him to jail.--LjHll Rock gazette.
