In order 10 stimulate the ambition Of
farmers, and induce them to aim at the
higher and more successful methods
of agriculture. the French Government
has adopted the Ordre de Herite
Aqrjcole, or knights of agriculture,
to be distinguished by badge described
"a a five pointed star Of green enamel,
surmOunted by wreath of olive leaves
and supported by a green ribbon with one
pink edge. The Minister of Agriculture
thinks this viii be very effective in rous-
ing the French farmers to competition,
and it is 10 be conferred upon the candi-
dates with imposing ceremonies. In all
civilized counties the occupation of the
farmer Is rapidly coming to the front.
The State. through the Governor, and
the city. through the Mayor. have each
offered reward of $3.50 for the arrest and
proof to secure the conviction OF the
Haertel murderers. This sum. $500, ought
to be sufficient to lead TO the discovery of
the guilty parties, if there is any
one except the guilty parties who
is in possession of the horrible
secret. The reward VIII certainly make
the search for the murderers more earnest.
1t may he that the right parties are al
ready in custody. In that case, what is
needed is the proof Of their guilt. Thus
far there is little more than suspicion.
There should be no lack Of effort to reach
the facts.

is that which blocks tie wheel Of progress.
The wheels do not appear to be very Sc

Senator Warner Miller and ex-s peaker
Keifer are not great lights in their party,
but in dull times their opinions on pOliti-
cal matters are quoted. MT. Miller says
that Blaine is the man who will be
chosen to lead the Republicans to victory
in 1884. Keifer says that Blaine will not
be a factor in the 81 struggle. What
their views are is not of sufficient conse-
quence TO inquire which is right.

An Independent Northern paper says
that McDonaId's record is without obiec-
ton except in one respect. He voted for
the silver bill which arbitrarily inficts
the currency each month with two mill
lions of silver dollars. No silver dollar
statesman, says the paper in question, re-
pentant or otherwise, can become Presi-
dent Of the United States. This is rather
hard on Mr.. Mcdonald, but then the
South and West take very kindly to silver
dollars. Perhaps the Independent paper
only speaks for itself.

Five per cent. Of the population of New

city, leaving ninety-ive per cent. living

CIVIL RIGHTS.
The Structure of the Whale.

Boston Advertiser.
The Rev. ]. G. Wood delivered the
sixth of his lectures on "Animal Life''
in the Lowell institute series last evening.
The subject of the lecture was the whale.
The lecturer said that the whale was but
little lighter than water, and its nostrils,
when it fioated on the surface, were lust
above the water line. A valve which
resisted the more firmly and stronger the
pressure brought to bear upon it kept the
water from falling into the lungs and
surface, and has reservoirs and oxygen
ated blood which it depends upon to sus-
tain it for an hour under water. The
principle upon which this storing of fresh
blood depends is similar to that which
gives a human being his second wind
when running. The whale is killed be-
cause of knowledge of its need of COM
ing to the surface to spout. 1t is driven
under water by the sailors whenever it
appears, without being allo wed to take
in any fresh air. The small part of the
ear is at the opening, so that very little
water can get into it to produce a heavy
pressure. There is double method of
hearing, so that the things which 90 on
in air and water both reach the whales
sensibilities. In one class of whales the
nerves of smell are utterly absent, and in
the other very rudimentary. The food
of whales is partly fishes, but in the north
ern seas the only thing which exists in
sufficient quantities for food is mollusk.
The whalebone which hangs down at such
length when the whales mouth is open
is laid into groove when the mouth is
closed.

Economy of Snace.

"Oi all the plans for economizing space, -
said patent lawyer, "the man who Just
left this Office evolved the funniest He
had drawing of a sleeping car that he
wished me to get patented for him. He
thought it was good thing, and would
hit the railroad managers hard, because it
nearly doubled the number of berths in

ridiculously short. ! asked their length.
-Four feet and a half he replied,
and that's plenty long enough. A
careful investigation has proved to me
that there is really no use in a bed being
as long as the person in it. Not one man in
so ever sleeps Strengthened out, and wo-
men invariably draw up their knees, SO
that they don It require more than four

much safer than the sides, and, therefore,

the case. He also declined that of a man
who wanted to patent spring bottom for
coffins, the idea being that, if people were
so generally ready to buy easy couches for
their bedrooms, they would be still more
desirous OF comfort in their graves.

A Queer Election in North Carolina.
L. s..ort al


The news from North Carolina is to the
effect that Thomas G. Skinner, the Dem
ocratic candidate, has been elected to
Congress as the successor ef the late w.
F. Pool, the successful candidate Of the
Republicans last year. The election of
Skinner was foregone conclusion, but it
causes queer state of affairs in the state.
Since Pools election last year the Demo-
cratic Legislature have gerymandered
the Congressional districts, and what
was the First district is now in part en-
braced in another. After POOLS death
the question arose as to whether the
electors of the old district should vote for
his successor or whether those of the
newly constituted First district, which
now embraces counties formerly in other
districts, should elect the man. The
Governor of the state decided that the
new First district should fill the va.
cancy, and he issued the call for
the election accordingly. 1t thus
happened that some counties who
voted for Pool did not vote in the present
election, and other counties which were
embraced in other districts, and already
represented in the Forty-eighth Congress,
did so vote, so that some counties are not
represented in the Forty-eighth Congress
and others are doubly so 1t may be
when the case comes up in Congress, if
the Democratic majority which controls
the House will let it be discussed, that the
question of the constitutional right of all
the people of state to be represented in
Congress will be aired little.

Sheridanis Ride.
Cleveland Leader Letter.


All the world knows of the famous
charge at Winchester, and the story of his
ride there has become household song.
1t was SO in every one of Sheridanfs s
battles; he was always at the front he
could not stay at the rear and direct as
other generals did; he must be in the
thickest of the fight. At the battle of
Winchester it is said he tried to do as
Grant did and stood for a time at one
side, but as the battle became serious he
exclaimed "by God, can't stand this"
and rushed into the melee.
"Old Winchester" the horse which
Sheridan rode on this occasion, died only
a few years ago. He was wonderful
animal, and Sheridan says he went
through from eighty-fve to ninety en-
gagements on HIM. "He was hit" saws
he, "but not killed at the battle of Chick
amauga. A shot passed under his belly
between his legs, and he spread his legs
apart and would not move. l had got off.
Everybody in the army knew the horse.
He could walk five miles an hour, and he
kept all the other horses about him trot-
ting to keep up with him. He died of old
age at New Orleans, and was well taken
care of until the last"

What Paris Spends for Beauty and Clean
illness.

The report of the public works depart
ment for the city of Paris, from 1872 to
1881, has just been issued, showing what
has been expended on the beautifying
and cleansing of the city during that
period. The cost Of new works has been,
in round numbers, 1896, 5000, 900 francs, and
that OF keeping them up is estimated at
206,0OO,OO0 francs, being a total of 654,-
100000 francs. The details of this
large sum comprise for new works: High
ways, l9l ,000, 600 francs traffic improve
ments, 100000 francs; drainage and
sewerage, AZ 100000 francs; lighting, s.
100000 francs; new promenades, 7,000, 600
francs; new public buildings, 20,O00,OOO
francs. For maintenance, the cost of
roads and streets is placed at $4,000. 900
francs; drainage, 100000 francs light
ing, $1,000 900 francs; promenades, 3,0OO.-
900 francs; public buildings, 10000, 600
francs. Taking Paris according to its ar
rondissements, it seems that the
outlay for new works on the
first ten was nearly 247,O0O,0 900 francs,
and on the remaining ten nearly
Isl 100000 francs. This increase of out
lay is accounted for by the fact that the
works of the Hotel de Vile alone figure
for 5000, 900 francs and the Avenue de
POpera and the Boulevard st. Germain
for S0,000, 900 francs. Under the category
of new works the seventh reimbursement
has been the most expensive, costing 49,
5000 francs; but under the head of
maintenance the seventh is surpassed by
the eighth, which has had 23,000, 900
francs spent upon 1t.

Always Ask for the Editor.

Philadelphia Call.
Above all things remember that the
only way to get thing printed is to see
the editor personally. Editors don't go
by the matter in manuscript. They go
by the looks of the writer. Besides that,
time hangs very heavily on the hands Of
people around newspaper offices, and it is
difficult to see what would become of
them if would-be contributors did
not call once in a while to talk
about their articles or play check
ers. Be careful, however, in ascending to
the editorial rooms to ska the double
acting spring step which is always some
where along the stairs, and turns over,
landing victims in the cellar. This is not
meant for contributors, but for peddlers,
and nothing SO worries an editor as to
find some contributors bones among
those of the peddlers when it comes to
the annual cellar-cieaning.

An ostrich is apparently the most ill.
tempered bird in existence. They never
acquire fendness of any one. They
have no particular preference ordinarily
as to mating. They are always on the
lookout to kick some one, and if the kick
has the intended effect it is pretty sure to
prove fatal. The blow is aimed forward,
and is accurate. For this reasGn the per-
son who pulls the stocking over the
ostrich's head at the time when the feath-
ers are to be cut must be wary and ex-
perienced.
