Approving of China.

There is one custom in the Celestial
Empire that we would like TO see turned
loose here. Boys in China are not sup
posed to be responsible until they arrive
at about the age OF 20 years, and their
crookedness, just the same as the own
or of any other dangerous animal is held
responsible for damages.
Surprising a bad boy walks up and
throws stone through your bay win
dow that skaters fine Gala and busts
the statue of the sweet singer of Michi-
gan, you do not go out and chase him
four blocks with an iron rake and club
him till he gets out of reach, but you
just get an old hoe handle that swings
easy, and you search ont tho boys par
ents and wear them out with the hoe
handle and mix them up with the sand.
Then if the boy don't behave himself
You can 90 to other relatives Of his, and
gradually enlarge the circle of your ac-
quaintance, until you have mauled the
entire relationship, even Including the
old grandparents of the boy, and if any
of these people resist they are subject to
imprisonment.
This law, although apparently string
ent, is good one. IL makes parents
take more interest in their children and
look out for them accurately. 1t en-
courages parents to know where their
boys are, and to keep their eyes nthem
more than they do here in Laramie. -
Why, if that law were to 90 into force
here, some men we know would have to
take an arnica bath twice day and they
wouldn't have whole bone in their
body. We like to see " bright active
boy with good health and sound lungs,
but the thriving blossom that will de-
velop into jesse James, we have no
use for.
If the Chinese law could be enforced
here against those parents who are breed
ing mp squad of hoodlums, we would
not weep. 1t would be pretty active
work for the ayenger and his hoe ham
die, but it would institute reform at
least, AS it is now a building cannot
be left unoccupicd over night before ev-
cry pane of glass is broken and the walls
smashed in. Now if the owner had a
right to climb the male parent of those
boys and knock bis shoulder blade
through his spleen and tangle his works
all up so that hereafter his food wouldn't
be any benefit to him, it might arouse
an interest in his children so that he
would make them an ornament to So
ciety.
You can't do much with strange boy
anyhow If you spank him with an old
window shutter, he goes home and tells
his father, and the old man tells him to
90 right back and do the same thing
and he will stand by him. Then the boy
returns and repeats, and you start after
him with iuo attention of killing him,
but as he turns'the corner n quarter of
o mile away and puts his thumb on his
nose and waves his fingers in the air,
you control your brutal temper and 60
home
That's the reason why in twentyycars
from now it will be bitter cold day
when the telegraph doesn't give us the
particulars of twenty-seven murders and
thirteen train robberies. - Bill Nye IN

The Niartyrdom of Smith.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 There has been a terrible mistake. In the
 language of the post-laureate, ''Some one
 has blundered." It was supposed that the
 late lamented James Smith was a common cannot account for, in view of recent events, to give the impression that he was a terror to society that he belonged to the worst of the lawless elements of the town where he lived, It now appears that he was hero, a martyr, q saint. He was pronounced 'cer tain of salvation" ''Thou Art Forgiven, y said the beautiful floral design by which the umphal procession to the grave. The even. ing papers of this city told how 'bravely and 'nobly" this unfortunate young martyr met his death. They have done their best to immortalize him. The martyrdom of St, Paul seems to have made less stir in the world St. Paul himself didn't feel "cer I tain of salvation" as priest and layman tried to convince this murderer that he was.
 Gentlemen of the press, you have carried | this too far The manner in which this execution was served up in at least one even ] ing pape. was condemned by all the people | heard express themselves about it. You dis gust us. If you have sympathy for the un | fortunate, try to have a little sympathy fol ! society. Don't make murder so attractive ! Society is unfortunate enough when bou ] quets are sent to Blanche Douglass and the daily papers describe her charms and glorify
 the end of Chip Smith. You are helping
 to teach men that they can never be though, much of unless they murder someone. The | morbid sentiment that eulogizes a depravec murderer Is worse than disgusting. It is i'm 1 moral One of the best arguments agains | capital punishment is that if Smith had beer 1 sent to State prison for life he would have
 been less interesting and we should have l been saved some debasing exhibitions b journalistic enterprise. May it be long be fore the execution of such another ruffia1 | leads to his cauoniZatiOn D. M H.

Tha Poisonous M u h room


 Professor Ponfick of Breslau, has la tely made experiments on the common mushroom of which the following are the practical re- suits All common mushrooms are poison ous, but cooking deprives them in greater or lesser degree of their poisonous qualities The repeated washing with cold water, which they usually undergo to clean them, takes away portion of the poison, and boiling does the rest but the water in which they have been boiled is highly poisonous and should always be carefully got rid of. Ex- periments made on dogs showed that if a dog ate per cent of it's own weight of raw mushrooms it fell sick, but recovered If it ate l per cent the poison had a more vio- lent but not fatal effect, and if it ate per cent it was inevitably fatal, The water in which mushrooms had been boiled was far more poisonous than even the raw mush- rooms while mushrooms thus boiled could be taken without hurt to the amount of 10 per cent. of the weight of the dogs body. Washing with cold water does not remove all the poison, so that mushrooms thus prepar- ed were poisonous when taken in larger quantities. Dried mushrooms are still dan gerous for from twelve to twenty days, and also the water in which they have been boil ed. They require to be dried for at least 8 whole month and are only really safe after four months drying.

SOUTHERN COTTON MILLS,

1t Is not very many years since some enter prlslng men discovered that cotton could be spun and woven to better advantage in the South where it grows than in the No tn ! where it does not. They saw that the New England mill must pay charges for freight, drayage, commission and insurance, which ! aggregate several dollars & bale, while the Southern mill could have the cotton deliver ed at its door comparatively free of all those charges, and large part of the goods manu- factured would also find ready sale near by The value of this discovery has already be come apparent, and the development of cot ton manufacturing at tho South is going on rapidly.
 writer in the Baltimore Journal of Com. me'ce gives us some interesting facts concern ing the cotton mills of the South, and some of these facts are of startling character The Augusta (Georgia) factory is the oldest
 mill ln that city. It has capital of $500. 900 and runs 200 spindles and 79O looms | From 1865 to 1882, seventeen years, it paid | out in cash dividends $1,4e7 .OOO, or about | ? times it's capital, an average of 144 per ! cent. per annum besides this it has laid l aside a surplus of between S34o, 900 and ! $35O, ,OOO, or over 50 per cent of it's entire capital; its stock is worth from 16O to TO. The Langley mill of the same city has ! capital of $4OO,OOO, with 10, 1000 spindIes ! and 329 looms; it has paid in the past 31 years All per cent. dividends, or an average ! of about 15 per cent. per annum last year ! It paid dividend of 20 per cent; its present surplus Is $20O,O0O, and it's stock is worth l from 16O to TO. The Graniteville mill, also l of Augusta, with capital of $6Oo, O0o has 34, 600 spindles and 900 looms this company ! pays 10 per cent. dividends and then puts it's ! surplus into new spindles Out of it's sur plus earnings that is it's earnings above it's dividends, it has built, without dollars ex- pense to the stockholders, the Vanclause mills, with 10000 spindles for making fine fabric, at cost of $34O, 900. It has also laid aside an additional surplus of $125, GAO. The Enterprise started in 1877, with capital of $9OO,OO0 it has also paid 10 per cent dividends, and laid aside the rest of it's earn lngs as surplus. The Wesson mills of Mis- sissippi have paid dividend of PC per cent, and the Troup factory of the same State "A per cent.
 This is what southern cotton mills have been doing. In recent speech in the House of Representatives Mr. Russell of Massachu. setts said that he had from official sorrces statement showing that fifty of the leading corporations in Lowell. Lawrence, Chicopee and Salem, Massachusetts, Manchester. Nashua and Newmarket, New Hampshire.
 Lewiston and other points in Maine, repre-
 senting capital of $5O,OOO, 900, engaged in
 manufacturing the various grades of cotton
 and woolen fabrics, have paid to their stock
 holders in the last five years an average divi-
 dend of little less than per cent per an.

 southern mills make better showing than
