The Toughest Vet.

Word came from EVANSVILLE last
week OF cruel crime committed by
some Chinese. A woman, owned by
one of them, fell under their displeas.
ure, and 10 punish her, they stood her
in a narrow tin-lined box which was
barely large enough to hold her and
would not allow motion in her arms and
hands. The box was open at the top,
which was about level with the top of
her head, and was placed in the sun
with loose lid over it. The execu.
TONERS paid no attention to her cries,
but left her in that position for twenty
four hours. The next morning, hearing
no noise from the sweat box, one of the
Cinnamon looked in and found that the
woman was dead. The intense heat
had caused her to perspire so that the
narrow box became filled with water
above her nostrils, and unable TO move
her hands to help herself, she was
drowned. The authorities are now
after the criminals, and if captured, it
may 60 hard with them before the law
can take its course. -Ha70ihoyHr DaL.

SunfiOwers as Fuel.

An old Nevadan writing to the Tus-
carora Times Revie'o says that gentle
man named DeLind, of Dakota, believes
that he has solved the "cheap fuel"
question, and advocates the growing OF
tine mammoth Russian sunhower. They
should be cut when the leader or top
flower is ripe, then laid on the ground
about three days, first cutting off all
the seed ends. The stocks when dry
are as hard as oak and make good hot
fire, while the seed heads, being very
rich in oil, warm better and burn long
er, bushel for bushel, than coal. They
should be packed away in a good dry
shed.
1t looks as if it was worth a trial.
A forty acre lot OF Rus,isn sunaowers
in some of our vallies might prove to
be worth as much as a silver mine. Try
the experiment.

A Mean Man.

Rev. Sam Jones, in a sermon on
"Truth," said: "I knew a fellow in
Georgia who had been married ten years.
His wife enc morning suggested that
that was her birthday, and he said to
himself: 'Pve got a good VITA, she
has been kind, self-sacrihcing, and true
in all respects; | must buy her a pres
emit SO he went down town that day
and walked into 4 store and bought
himself a hat, consoling himself that
nothing would more please good wife
than to make her husband present OF
a new hat. He's the meanest man
ever saw, and there are great many
rnea Just like him."

Much for Little.

In this age when the events Of yes
terday in all parts Of the world are
found in to.day's paper; when ;idings
of battle in Egypt or China are fash.
ed across seas and laid at our door be.
fore its smoke is dissipated, it is neces.
sary for well.informed people to have
access to reliable maps. Not all can
afford the heavy library aliases, and
even they are often found untrustworthy
unless new copy is purchased as often
as revised.
If you want an atlas, small enough
for general use, full enough for nearly
every purpose, critically accurate and
up to date, we recommend the new
Handy Atlas of the World, published
by Messrs. Ivison, Brakeman, Taylor,
& Co., 7s3 and 7s5 Broadway, New
York, which is both credit to them
and TO the American press. 1t is bound
in flexible cloth, contains thirty.eight
beautifully colored maps and impor-
tant statistics. Among its many nota-
BILE good things are maps showing
standard time, the railways of the u.
s., recent polar expeditions, Central
Africa as explored by Stanley, the seat
Of the Egyptian war, Bible Lands, and
our principal American cities. If your
bookseller does not have this excellent
work, send fifty cents direct to the pub.
fishers and receive it by return mail.
