court officers say that the grand jury will
close their investigation to-night or early in
the morning. and the trial of the Ashland
murderers will begin at once. An aft citing

The New Haven Palladium says
Hog Lard and Cotton Seed Oil

1t makes one feel kind of ''all gone
| sensation in the stomach to read such an
article as the following from the Mem
phis "Free Trader" Ones gorge rises
at the thought of diseased hogs and YET
most of US are compelled to "fess up
that there is more truth than poetry in the
allegation. And after all why shouldn't t
cotton seed oil be Just as pleasant and
healthy as olive oil and other vegetable
products. But here is what the Mem.
phis paper has to say:
The word scrOfula comes from scrofa
"a sow. OF all animals, hogs are the
filthiest and the most diseased and dis
ease creating. Consumption IS the worst
form of scrOfula. The wise mother who
looks to the health of her family will
Danish lard from the kitchen-banish it
at once and forever. Any person who
has ever taken the trouble to visit a
slaughter house and inspect the livers of
the slaughtered hogs will go away with
deadly disgust against hog meat and
hog lard. A sound hog liver is not to be
found. They are perforated with
worms, and full Of pustules and boils.
This shows how full of disease are what
are called fine, fat hogs There is
now no excuse for US ng hogs lard Re-
fined cotton seed oil is a pure vegetable
oil, as wholesome and as delicate as olive
oil. 1t is better for biscuit and frying pur-
poses than lard, not scorching so easily
it is good as butter for cakes. We
know many Of the first families of this
city who are using it, and think it far
better than lard. 1t is much cheaper.
The wholesale price by the barrel is only
t1fty-tive cents per gallon retail price,
from seventy to seventy five cents per
gallon, or ten cents per pound. One
pound goes much further than pound
of lard. There are seven and ne-half
pounds of oil in a gallon, which at
seventy-five cents per gallon, would be
ten cents per pound. Lard is fourteen
cents per pound. AS two.thirds of a
pound of the oil is equivalent to pound
of lard it is clear that the oil is from
four to five cents cheaper than lard and
a thousand times more wholesome. A
very fine quality of this oil, so cheap
and excellent for cooking purposes, can
be obtained at any of the cotton seed
oil mills.
1t is time our people stopped poison
ing themselves with hogs lard, which
does much toward causing consumption
and other forms of scrofula."

THE Barring BROTHERS.
sketch of the Great English Banking
FamiIY-TheIr Early History, Etc.
london Society.

The Barings have been among the
most famous of English bankers. They
are of German stock. There is kind of
ecclesiastical flavor about them. Their
English founder was a Bremen pastor,
who settled in this country. His grand
son married the niece of an English arch
bishop. One of the descendants became
Bishop of Durham. The money was
originally made in the rich, profitable
clothing business in the west of England
AshburtOu gave title in the peerage to
the chief Of the house of Barring. It has
been a rule in the house that when any
one of them has got title he goes out Of
the business. Sir Francis Barring, the
first great banker. who, dying in 1910.
left fortune of two millions, had three
sOns-ThOmas, Alexander and Henry
Thomas, succeeding to the barOnetcy,
gave up the business. Henry haf ro-
mantle reputation as a lucky gambler
who was frequently able to break the
bank of a gambling table. He was the
amaZement of behOlders when he would
sit down at gambling table at the Pa
lais Royal-before such tables were hap
PLY abOlished-with piles of gold and
notes before him. The reputation of
successful gambler was hardly suited to
the intense respectability of the firm, and
Mr.. Henry was induced TO retire from
the business. Alexander Barring. often
known as Alexander the Great, sus-
tanned and extended the fortunes of the
house. He went to America, and there
the richest banker in England married
the daughter of the richest citizen of the
United States One of his gigantic
transactions possesses a historical i'm
pOrtance. After the conclusion of the
great European war he paid down a sum
of 81, 100000, by which France was
freed from the occupation of Russian,
Austrian and German armies. "There
are six great powers in Europe" said the
Due de Richelieu-"E England, France,
Russia Austria, Prussia and Barring
Brothers" In 1885 he was made Lord
Ashburton. Two of his sons held the
title, and each successfully retired from
the business. The head of the firm,
Thomas Barring, became Chancellor of the
Exchequer in Lord MelbOurnes Ministry,
and another member, Lord Northbrook,
has been Governor General of India.

How Gold is HOarded.
RiaoLo in Ne,r York SIN

An additional and by no means ade
quately appreciated cause of the strin
genCy of money is the growth of the
passion for boarding gold among the
lower classes with the increase of pros
perity. Our immense foreign population
does not crave half as much for paper
money as it does for gold. Some oil
them-the Italians, the Austrians and
the Russians, for instance-had some
sad experiences with paper money at
home. They don't know anything about
the sOlidity of greenbacks, bank notes,
bonds and savings banks What thew
are anxious to get is gold piece, and
the moment they get it they hide it.
Nothing but the opportunity of buying
at a bargain land, cattle or a house
ever brings these gold pieces out
again. 1t has been calculated that some
5000, 900, 600 have thus been distracted
from the circulation during the last
three years of growing prosperity
throughout the continent. Women re-
present a very important factor in this
boarding process. A woman of almost
any European nationality prefers a gold
coin to piece of clothing, a piece of
furniture, or anything else-except,
possibly, a piece of jewelry. An old
Frenchman told me the other day that
he avoids ever going home with gold
piece in his pocket, for he is sure that
his wife would steal it at night and try
to persuade him next morning that the
coin must have rolled out of the vest
pocket. yet she is a very honest
woman, " added he. ''She would never
touch the bank notes, but her passion for
boarding gold is invincible. Idon't mind
it, though, for she will give it all back
if rainy day comes.

Two Brave Women.

The story comes floating over the sea
that British ship, while scuddng under
close reefs, fell in with a bark, water
logged, fOremast gone, iibbOOm gone,
and decks swept clean by the tempest's
fury Three men were deserted, but
they were too weak to even raise the sig
nal of distress. The sea was making
clean breach over all parts of the wreck
and the men were liable at any moment
to be dashed into a watery grave. Some
thing must be done to save them. The
ships crew was small. and, in addition
TO his other cares, the Captain had on
board his wife and sister. With hero
ism born of her race the wife came for
ward and said: go with the boat and
| will take your place Sister will
help, and if you are lost We'll take
the ship to port" The lODgboat was
launched, and the Captain, Lieutenant
and four seamen went to the rescue,
leaving only two boys on board to help
the brave women. For three hours they
labored in the wild fury of an Atlantic
storm. They reached the wreck, took
off the men, and went back to their own
ship to pay homage to the brave women
without whose aid they we're destined to
destruction. The names of these ladies
are Mrs. Fulton, wife of Captain Fulton,
Of the Flora, and Miss E. S. MaistOn,
her sister The wrecked mariners had
been five days without food and tossed
at the mercy of the raging storm. Such
acts of herOism should have a place in
the nations memory and be visited with

An Iowa Girls Ambition.

The smsrtest girl I've met In Iowa /
met recently at Nevada, Story county,
Northwestern Iowa-Miss Belle Clinton.
Miss Clinton is q bright eyed, rosy
checked girl of about twenty, IS full Of
| fun and health and vigor as good girl
can be. Two years ago Miss Clinton
was school teacher. Saving up by her
teaching about $160. she last spring
borrowed a span of horses from her
father, rigged up a prairie schooner,
and, taking her little brother, started
for Dakota. Miss Clinton says laugh.
iDgly to-day, speaking of her trip:
why, never lived SO nicely IN my life,
and | never had such an appetite, and
such courtesy l received everywherei
Rough, rude men would come up to our
camp, and, after had talked to them
awhile, offer to build my fire and actual
ly bring water to me. We went up
through the wheat country, which they
call the Jim River country. It's about
100 miles east from the Missouri at Fort
Sully. l hOmesteaded 100 acres of land.
Then | took up timber claim Of 100
acres more"
What is a timber claim?"
"Why, l hired a man and we set out
ten acres of trees. This gave me 100
acres more; so l have 800 acres now.
But | must tell you about those trees.
They were young locust, apple, and
black walnut sprouts l sOwed a peck
of locust beans. pint of apple seed and
two bushels of black welnuts in our
garden in Iowa a year ago. These
sprouts were little fellows and we could
set them out fast-just 90 along and
stick them in the ground. But they are
just as good. believe my 8. 600 little
black walnut sprouts will be worth $15
apiece in ten years, and $50 apiece in
fifteen. My locust trees will some time
fence the whole country"
Then what did you do?"
owe built shantY and broke up five
acres of land; and this fall we came
back to Iowa to spend the winter, and
here we are. In the spring I'll go back
with more black walnut aud locust
sprouts and take up $50 acres more. The
trees are just what | want to plant any
way, and they'll pay better than any
wheat crop that could be raised-only
I've got to wait for them ten or twelve
years; but can wait.
Here is a girl who owns iu her own
right $50 acres of splendid black prairie
soil now and who will own 4S0 acres in
the spring, every acre of which will
bring S. within three years and $40
within five years and $50 within ten
years. Her black walnut and locust
trees will be worth as much more At
thirty she will be worth $25 600.
