quently ascribed to local
surroundings, and there is
very little question, but this
opinion is substantiated by
facts. Malaria does not nee
essarily mean chills and
fever while these troubles
usually accompany it. It
often affects the sufferer with
general lassitude, accom-
panied by loss of appetite,
sleeplessness, a tired feeling
and a high fever, the per-
son afflicted growing weak
er and weaker, loses flesh
day after day, until he be-
comes a mere skeleton, a
shadow of his former self.
Malaria once having laid itS
hold upon the human frame, the

to nervous diseases. The body
weak and enfeehled absoSbs no

SARDINES.

Buyers of sardines are cautioned by
the Brittany manufacturers to be care
full as to the brands they choose. II
they want the best fish, preserved when
fresh in the best olive oil, they must get
them from houses which have name to
lose. The cheap kinds are made with
fish that have turned" or have been
spoiled by sailing on board the smacks,
and the oils used are those of cotton
seed or the Senegal ground nut But
this is not all. The brands of estab-
lished firms are initiated, and the worst
qualities of all are prepared for exporta-
ton. The sardine traders think it nee
essary just now to give warning against
these export sardines, and advise for
eigners to buy only those which are pro-
duced for the home French market. The
current wholesale prices of these are
given. There are three sizes, small,
medium and large (known as 4-6, 6-S
and 8-12), and only two qualities, first
and second. The largest and best are
now $13 the hundred tins, but the ex-
port kinds can be bought as low as $7.75
the hundred.

TREE PLANTING.

The following is an estimate of the
returns that may be had on an acre of
land planted with forty-two black wal
nuts, GAO catalpas and 1850 cotton
woods, willows or locusts. The cost at
the end of three years will be about
$50. He says that at the end of the fifth
season or sooner the removal of the
nurseries, should begin, and the re-
naming nurseries, should be taken out
at the end of the eighth season. Be-
tween the tenth and twelfth years the
catalpas should be thinned, and the rest
taken out between the fifteenth and
eighteenth seasons and the twentieth
and twenty-ffth, leaving plantation
of black walnuts. He estimates the re-
ceipts from the acre up to the twenty
fifthyear as follows: First cutting, 1000
poles, $40; second cutting, 1000 poles,
$50; third cutting, 700 posts, $40;
fourth cutting, 1900 posts, $24O; fifth
cutting, 1900 posts, $500; total income
for twenty-five years, $500; deduct ex-
penses of planting and cultivating, $50;
net income for twenty-five years, $3.50,
or an annual gross income of $25 to
cover taxes and rental, saying nothing
of interest and expenses, which has
been covered by the interest on re-
ceipts.
The black walnut trees, beside pro-
ducing crop of nuts for fifteen years,
should have, when so years old, an av-
erage diameter four feet from the
ground of sixteen inches, which would
represent yield of $50 feet of lumber
to the tree, or 10000 feet to the acre.
At present prices this would be worth
81 900, or $40 per year for the first
twenty-five years, and 500 for the whole
period from the time of planting, not
reckoning the value of stumps, tops or
posts.

FRUIT IN ENGLAND:

The repeated failures of the wheat
crop in Great Britain have not only
been a sad blow for landlords and ten
ants alike, but are leading to radical
change III the cultivation of the soil.
American competition is so sharp that
wheat growing is no longer profitable,
and thousands of acres are now being
converted into fruit farms and orchards.
Travellers have often noticed the charac-
ter of English fruit, especially cherries
and berries, but have wondered at the
small quantities grown. The American
apple is far superior to the English, due
to our dr1er climate but ali fruits that
thrive in moist climates reach perfection
in the foggy air of the old country

THE HOG Il JOY FOREVER.

After the trash had been disposed OF,
two roast pigs, each with an apple IN

was a savory reminder of many lavish

had twined about each other In ecstasy.
There's good deal, of sentiment in the
memories that hang about the hog.
Where is there festival that compares
in solid enjoyment with "hog--killing

many time have [ sat on the warm

historic love for the fine esculent there
was not an unconfessed love for hogs

ing through Wall street, when we both
had more stocks than was healthy, with
a bucket of hogs brains that he had
bought from a downtown butcher for
his table at the St. James. Gov.
Stephens dotes on broiled ham, and the
nearest to death Gen. Toombs ever
came was from indigestion caused by
overeating of head-cheese; so that a
little more hogs head might have pre-
vented secession. More than one his
torian holds that Lees army was never
whipped until the bacon had given out

AN ARRESTED CIVILIZATION.

To any one who has thought about
the Chinese, the contrast presented by
comparison of their civilization with
the civilization of the Western nations
must have given rise to frequent specu-
lations as to the cause of SO great diff
ference. Should we be brought into
communication with another planet we
could hardly expect to find people
more unlike us than the inhabitants of
China. They have existed substantially
as at present from time long before a
single language existed which is spoken
to-day in Europe, and even before our
classic dead languages were born. While
the tribes, nations and civilizations of
the West have come and gone, the Chi
nese have remained the same, genera
ton after generation and century after
century, content always to live and die
in the conditions that fate has imposed
upon them in the middle kingdom. A
century and half ago Du Halde wrote
of their incurabIe conservatism, sthat
they have continued the same with re-
gard to the attire, morals, laws, customs
and manners, without deviating in the
least from the wise institutions of their
ancient legislators. And in our time
we are told by the Able Huc-than
whom no one had better opportunities
from which to judge-that "they seem
to have been always living in the same
stage of advancement as in the present
day." Peaceful occupations, untiring
industry and careful frugality have
characterized the habits Of the people in
the past as they do in the present. Wars
were never justified except to secure
peace, and upon the cessation of hostili-
ties the armies eagerly returned to their
peaceful pursuits. = Popular Science

THE BIGAMY CASE.

.yob, c. Dudley Charged nth BdcimO One
too Many Viges Partially Examined.
The preliminary examination of John @.
Dudley charged by Thaddeus Short with
being married to two different women, was
brought before Judge Cooley in the mu-
nicipal court yesterday forenoon, and con
tinued until 3 o'clock p. m. In the after
noon the following proceedings were had;
jill Bradish and J. c. Temple appeared
for the defense and Assistant City Attor-
ney Pittms for the state.
Defendant moved to dismiss on the
ground that complaint did not charge an
offense, in that it is ambiguous. The
court oyerruled the motion.
Defendant then moved to dismiss be-
cause the complaint did not negative the
exceptions contained in the enacting
clause.
Motion overruled.
G. A. Van Anda, minister of the Cos
pei, testified to having married the defend
ant on the 1st OF March, 1882, to Clara
L! Short.
Clara L. Dudley, the wife of the defend
ant, being sworn on the part of the state,
her testimony was objected to by defend
ant, she being the wife of the defendant.
A paper which purported to be certi-
fed copy from the books in the registry
Office of the city of Frederickstown, coun-
ty of York, New Brunswick, of the mar
rage of John G. Dudley and Margaret
Toner by Alex Estabrooks, a Baptist min
lister, on July II, 1871, was introduced but
objected to on account of lack of proof
that the Dartv furnishing the CODY was
either responsible or had authoEity IN the
premises. Objection sustained.
The prosecution here proved admissions
made by the defendant of his former mar
rage, but the court held that while such
evidence was competent, it was not suf-
ficient to incarcerate the defendant.
The copy of an affidavit made by the de-
PENDANT in a divorce case brought in the
district court, in which it is admitted that
Dudley was previously married, was next
introduced, but was objected to on the
ground that it was simply copy, and
that only the highest and best evidence is
required in criminal proceedings.
At this juncture the examination was
continued until O'Clock this morning, when
the original affidavit will be produced.
The prosecution called for a number of
snbpunas and are determined to sift tie
case to the bottom.
Mn Dudley claims that the case is
Drought maliciously. He was arrested by
the same parties last summer, and while
inc.rceIated the complaining witnesses
attempted to coniscdte his personal prop
erty. He fortunately secured bail just in
time to stop such proceedings.

THE PHILOSOPHER AND THE FLEA.

THE PHILOSOPHER AND THE FLEA.
This is the tale of the philosopher and
the flea:
l. The former, having been bitten by
the latter, seized and was about to dis
patch his foe, when he reflected that the
little insect had only acted from instinct,
and was not to be blamed. Accordingly
he deposited the flea on the back OF a
passing dog.
2. This dog was the poodle Of lady,
and she was very fond of the pretty ami
NAL. On his return to the house his
mistress took him upon her lap to caress
him, and the flea embraced his opportu-
nifty to change his inhabit.
3. The flea, having in the course of the
night engaged in active business opera
tons, awakened the lady. Her husband
was sleeping peacefully beside her, and
in the silence of the chamber she heard
him in his dreams whisper, with an &C
cent of ineffable tenderness, name
The name was that of her most intimate
female friend u
4. AS soon as it was day, the outraged
wife hurried to the house of her rival,
and told the rivals husband of the big,
big discovery she had made. He,
being a man of decision, at once called
out the destroyer of his households peace
and ran him through.
5. The widow, when her husband was
taken home to her upon the medium OF
a shutter, was SO terribly smitten with
remorse that she precipitated herself
from the fourth story window.
6. The other lady convinced her hus-
band that he had wronged her by enter
tanning any suspicious as to her fidelity,
and, becoming reconciled with him,
seized an early opportunity Of poisoning
him.
7. Inasmuch as the jurors Of that
country had never heard of "extenuat.
ing circumstances, and the Chief Magis.
trate thought that he could put muir
derer to better uses than not guillotinine
him, the guilty woman was duly decap.
.itated, and the sole survivors of the
tragedy were the philosopher and the
flea.

on Snake river in the capacity of an OK

Mr.. Crowley escaped without any broken

REMARKAR1E GAs WELA.
In the spring of 1881, G. A. & D. Cor

In the spring of 1881, G. A. & D. Cor
men were drilling wildcat well at Claren-
don, Pa, when, at depth of little
more than q thousand feet, they en-
oountered powerful vein OF gas. Drill
ing was continued only about five feet
in the gas sand, as it was very difficult
to make much progress under the cir
cumstances. All the sand rock cut by
the drill was thrown out as soon as
loosened from the main body of rock.
Chunks the size of hens eggs were sent
up through the derrick as though shot
from cannon. ALI idea of an Oil well
was abandoned, and project was III
augurated for utilizing the enormous
amount of gas for light and fuel. A gas
company was formed, with sufficient
capital stock to make the venture sue
cess. A charter was obtained, and q
pipe line laid to Clarendon, distance
of three and quarter miles. The we'll
is now furnishing fuel to twenty-six
drilling wells, three pumping wells, one
hundred and twenty-five stoves, two
machine shops, and two pump stations.
This gas is dry, containing no oil, gas
oline or water, and has never frozen on
any part of the line, although the pipe
is, in many places, exposed to the
weather. An effort was made at one
time to test the pressure, and the stop
cock could not be turned more than half
way round, when the indicator would
fly as far as possible, showing two hun
dred pounds to the square inch. TWAS
feared that the casing would be torn to
pieces if the Investigations were pushed
further, therefore it is not known what
the actual power Of the gas is. The
nearest oil wells are nearly two miles
away, and they are very small, SO the
territory in the neighborhood will not
be drilled, which will give the gas well
long lease of life.-Peroleuna Age.
