The city of Paris has lately become the possessor. of a remarkable collec- ton of documents, which will have great interest in years to~come for historical investigators. This is the serles of death warrants, extending from April 2, 1908, to December & 1882. belonging to Samson, the noto, rious headSman of the Revolution The collection was bound up in nine. teen volumes, and Samson had pre- fixed te each volume summary of the contents. It appears that during twenty-five years he executed 7,14s capital sentences, being an average ot 217 executions each year-rather a busy life.

From Glens Falls comes the story that a compositor who imagined he had talent for construction of sen- tences had this line to set; "A tall woman with slight stoop." He sub stituted the word piazza for stoop, and suffers the consequence of his rash act, as he wanders across the country look ing for work.

The recent developments in the Lit erary Life business says the Washing ton Hatchet have added greatly to the Presidents utter adherence of his sisters literary nonsense. It appears that Elder, the Chicago publisher who hired her relationship with the Presi- dent as business speculation, was in very hard nnes at the time, and only fought off his creditors by representa- tions of the tremendous profits which his vealy magazine would make out of the Cleveland name. It seems to have been used simply to save a sinking concern. If the affair had concerned an established success Miss Cleveland's s acceptance of the editorship would have simply been in bad taste. As it concerns a fraud, it is a scandal. No wonder the White House objected.

It is hardly pleasant to read that Ia host of fair Americans followed the Prince to Homburg to continue the rivalry for hls favor" The Prince of Wales shows good judgment in his ad- miration for our country woitaeu, but 1t is not satisfactory to see American women losing their dignity in order to win His "HIghness's" favor. It IS said that the wife of a Western mill lIonaire will probably spend f3OO,0OO for an estate near Sandringham that she may thereon extend hospitality to the Queens son.

The colony of Southerners who left for Brazil at the close of the rebellion now number about 500 souls. They are settled in the interior, 400 miles from Rio Janeiro, where they have a tract about fifteen miles square. Some of them hold slaves. They raise watermelons and cotton, and are in general way quite prosperous, but need schools. Their English is get ting somewhat inferior and rather mixed. They seem to be proud that they are Americans and only in one or t#5 instances have they become citizens of Brazil by naturalization.

The Origin of Jugs.
GROVER CLEVELAND.

The origin of jugs dates back to an
tiquity. Yet we have all discovered that
tho jug, whose appearance is the most
antiquated, does not always belong to
that rather cnigmatic period. The his
tory of "The Little Brown jug" is quite
as ancient as most people care to go back
to investigate. Lately there has been a
great breeze raised over n Jug called
"Thc Pcachblow Vase" In artistic cir
clos, its sale for eighteen thousand dol
lars will mark an era. Yet to most pco-
pie i'll this world there are many things
better, "by jugful." The jug is n most
singular utcnsil. A pail, goblet or jan
may be rinscd, and you can satisfy your
self by optical proof that the thing is
clean; but jug has little hole in the
top and the interior is all darkness. Nc
eye pcnetrutcs it, no eye can move ovcl
its surface. You can clean it only by
putting water into it, shaking it up and
pouring it out. If the water comes out
clean, you Judge you have succeeded in
purifying tho jug. In this the jug is
like the human heart; no mortal eye can
look into the rocesscs, and you can only
Judge Of its purity by what comes out
of it.

bud only above the surface, will grow
quite as readily as n rooted slip. Lei
every one put in a full crop of potatoes
work will not be so pressing now and
the grain fields will furnish suitable and
abundant land for the purpose. AS
soon rs the tubcrs are of fair size, bcgin
Mt once to feed to stock of all kinds,
horses, COWS, hogs, etc. The mistake is
generally made of waiting till frost or
dlgglng time to begin feeding them and
then many are lost before they arc con-
ftlmed. Our true policy is to feed the
stock on the farm with many different
things, each in its season. The old style
OF tecdlng on corn and fodder all the
year Is not suited to Or present environ
ment-lt is too expensive. Neither is it
healthiest u best for animals. We fed
our stock for some time ON green rye,
then follow ed with red clover, and will
begin soon on forage corn. A part ration
OF dry, forage is always given with these,
and the stock keep in IL remarkably
healthy, thriving condition. A sick ami
nal we rarely or never have.
Now that tho heaviest press of work is
over, DarbccucS and social gatherings
arc Ill order. More than others, farmers
need the healthy, invigorating Influences
of such occasions. No one is so wise
that he may not learn from others. Meet
and discuss matters pertaining to your
calling. Visit each others farms, and
with friendly criticisms call attention to
mistakes made and suggest improve
ments. Attend every club meeting; he
must he a dull man that cannot learn
something there. The farmers in several
States have been aroused recently touch
ing their relations to the State and to
other callings. They arc unwilling to
be ignored or imposed on longer. We
hail 1t as good omcn-as an evidence
OF awakened thought. Let farmers feel
and realize that their vocation is just as
honorable, just as cnnobling and elevat-
ing as any other; that it calls for Just as
much brains, just as much learning and
knoWlcdge, if not more than any other,
and let them resolve that they will no
longer bear the heavier portion of the
public burthcns whilst the cmolumcnts
and honors are mononolizcd by others

The President has pardoned r. Porter
Lee, now confined in the Buffalo pcni-
tentiary for cmbezzlcmcnt. The follow
ing is the Presidents memorandum in
regard to this case:
This convict was sentenced in NOYcm-
Der, 1882, at a term Of the Circuit Court
of the United States held ut Syracuse, in
the Northern District Of New York, to
be confined i'll the pcniteutiary at the
city OF Buffalo for the term of ten years,
upon conviction for embczzling the
funds Of the First National Bank at
Buffalo while he was President thereof.
While this IS statutory oifcnsc, and
somewhat technical in its character, the
public are so much interested in the
security of our banking institutions, and
such strict faith and care should be de-
mandcd OF those having them III charge,
that l am much disinclincd to extend
clemency to those properly found guilty

BY her patient, hard labor to support
her children, and never failing trust and

demonstrated that she at least is entitled

restore to her her husband, and to be

Crime or insanity.
O'rom the Oh cago Trbuno)
find in q recent number of the Nou-
velle Revue a curiously interesting paper
by Dr. Lombroso Oh revolutions and
rcvolutionists. In these days of popular
uphcavals it is we'll to have the status of
the anarchist and his associates clearly
defined. And, i'll the place, the writer
discovers q close relation between revo-
lutions and climate. OF 1872 political
uprsings i'll Europe, the majority oc-
CURED i'll Italy, Spain and GREECE, while
Russia, Sweden and Norway contributed
but few Then again we find that of
this number thirty-two took place in
June and thirty in July, while in No
vcmbcr and january there were only
twelve and fifteen, respectively. Heat,
then, must be considered us an important
factor i'll revolutions. The learned doc
tor has also discovered that, however
pure may be the lives of some of the
revolutionary leaders, the rank and file,
rs rule, have had criminal antecedents,
or arc tainted with insanity. Thus,
Jourdan, i'll the time of the first French
revolution, who from n butcher boy be-
came general, cut the throat of his form
or employer, Lamcy; personally di-
rcctcd the pillnSc, the burnings and the
nssaslnations committed by his troops;
caused the killing of sovcnty-three Off
cials at AVignOn; and continued his
career of crime until he was himself con
dcmned to death by the. revolutionary
tribunal. Then there were Heieune, Of
the same epoch, the inventor Of q gull
lotinc, with which he first practiced on
fowls, and Jean d'Hcron of Nantes, who
wore human car on his hat like cock
o1 a or,1 ,nin1 ,tl ~, l.
which he made the women kiss. Quite
recently in Russia robbery and assassi-
nation have been used to spread the
doctrines Of the anarchists. Schumacher
and Kammcrar killed the banker Lysart
and several of his family to get possession
of q few hundred hOrins. In Germany
lIocdel, who had thirteen years previ-
ouSly been put under surveillance for
| theft, and having no OStcnSible Occupa-
ton, attempted to take the life of the
Emperor. Reinsdorf, who planned the
Nlcdcrwald attack on the imperial fami-
ly of Germany, was subject to criminal
mOnOmania and had been found guilty
Of an assault on q woman. In Paris
during the troubles in 1888 out of thirty
three persons arrested it was found that
thirteen had already been condemned
for theft Alcohol is also an important
factor in revolutions. The cXcesses of
the Paris commune were largely due to
excessive use Of stimulants by those who
had been nearly starved during the
siege. 1t is not surprising to be told by
this scientific inquirer that insanity goes
hand i'll hand with revolutions. The
events Of 1871 in France sent 1,7OO in
sane patients to the hospitals during o
period of eighteen months, and among
the leaders of the commune there wero
four hereditary lunatics and four others
who had been previously under treat
mcnt for that disease. Certainly of these
cbullitions of the political caldron it may
be truly said, "That way madness hes!''

Man Eaters.

Conscious cannibalism is by no means
confined to the Feojee islands. The Rio
Virgen tribes Of the Arancanos Indians,
on the northern coast Of Chill, do not
hesitate, in hard winter, to keep the pot
boiling by slicing up few Of their su-
pcriluous relatives; and Dr. Nachtigal is
positive that the country north and east
OF the Congo is swarming with two
legged man-eaters. The Dyaks of Bor-
nco, who gather skulls as our red men
used to gather scalps, now and then eat
a personal enemy as q matter of hygienic
precaution, on the theory that the wizard
spells of the dead mans relatives can
| thus be rendered Intellectual. Sparodie
cases Of cannibalism occur in every East
| Indian famine. The nations of Eurol,e
alone are in that respect total abstainery,
ut present ut least, for Roman traditions
date back to time when the Laestry-
cones of Southern Italy kept special
stocltyards for fattening their prisoners

The conditions ont Of which grew the
olcomargarinc industry arc we'll illustrate
ed by the increasing demand for butter
all over Europe from 1850 down, and the
constantly advancing price. The prodi-
giOuS advances in this direction may be
further illustrated by the importation OF
butter cheese and eggs into England.
In the years from 1925 to 1890 the i'm
ports of the three commodities seldom
exceeded in any one year $500, 600 in
value, while they have since risen tc
