POVERTY STRICKEN EX-CONvICTs
Connolly and White Say They Are
Not Worth $50.

District Attorney Dickson is determined
to thoroughly test the ability of the
polygamist convicts TO pay their fines and
the costs of their cases. This morning
John Connolly and Charles White were
released on precisely the same grounds
that those yesterday were liberated, viz. ::
After serving an additional month, in lieu
of paying the fine and costs. They were
taken before Commissioner Mckay and
examined rs to their financial standing.
White has positively nothing except
two wives, and it required very little
effort on his part TO assure the court of
this fact. The Commissioner, however.
was not inclined to accept Mr.. Connelv's
plcadings of poverty, and Mr.. Dickson
made 1t appear that indeed Connolly was
able to pay. Connolly swore, however,
that he did not own a dollars worth of
property OF any kind, and that he had no
means OF meeting the obligation.
1t happens that Connolly, some two
months previous to his being arrested
last fall, had decided his grocery store,
bakery and all other possessions over to
his families and left himself practically
pennless. He assured DEMocRAT re-
porter this afternoon that at the time he
made the transfer he had no idea OF being
arrested, us he had concluded some
months before that the courts had de-
clded TO let his marriage relations alone.
Attorneys Sheeks Il Rawins and LIE
Grand Young were notified of Mr.. Con-
nelly's predicament this afternoon, and
it was the intention to prepare writ of
hd6eas corpus and have;it argued immedi-
ately. There appeared to be no posi-
btility, however, of saving Mr.. Connolly
from another nights confinement at the
Pen, and AT late hour this afternoon he
was very much of the opinion himself
that he would be taken back.
1t is understood he will make no effort
10 raise the means in the event OF the
Court ruling that way.

Unleavened Bread of the Passover.

The "Pesach' festival or Jewish Pass- over is the only festival in which "mat- EOS" is the one bread allowed. The bread is unleavened, and there are now four cities in America with unleavened bread bakeries-New York, New Orleans, Chicago and Cincinnati. In order to supply the demand these bakeries begin baking two months before the beginning of the Passover. The matzos look like the ordinary hard-tack, except that they are a foot square. They are made of flour and water, and contain no other ingredients. After the flour has been kneaded into stiff dough, lump of it containing about fifty pounds is placed on great block of wood and pressed into thick sheet with great beam which is fastened to the block at one end by an iron link and staple. The sheet is next placed under an iron roller, from which it emerges into long ribbon. It passes through several rollers until it is thin enough for baking. It is then stamped and cut into unbakcd matzos, which are placed upon a wooden tray having long handle and deposited ir an oven. In three minutes they are done, white and crisp.-lMlling World.

Wet Boots.

What an amount of discomfort wet boots entail, to be sure; and how we'll we recall the fretful efforts we have now and then made to draw on pair of hard baked ones which were put up by the fire over night to dry. Damp and adhe- sive within, they are without stiff and unyielding as horn. Once on, they are a sort of modern stocks destructive of all comfort and entirely demoralizing to the temper. The following device will rob the wet barnyard of slushy winter or spring evening of half its promise or dis comfort for the next morning. When the boots are taken off, fill them with dry oats. This grain has 8 great fond ness for damp, and will rapidly absorb the last vestige of it from the leather. As it takes up the moisture it swells, and fills the boot with tightly fitting last, keeping it's form good, and drying the leather without hardening it. In the morning, shake out the oats and hang them in bag near the fire to dry, ready for the next wet night, draw on the boots, and go happy about the day to work.

According to the New York Times, 'there is no doubt that farmers do not market their produce with sufficient care and closeness. It is good rule in busi- to count, measure, and weigh every. thing. Few farmers, however, know anything about the weights and measures of what they have to sell. The hundreds of millions of bushels of corn sold in the ear at the rate of 70 pounds to the bush ell Is thus disposed of at a loss of 1-2 per cent, for it has been established by the Ohio Experiment Station that the cobs of a bushel of corn weigh il pounds only and not IA. Moreover, bushel of potatoes varies from 40 to 60 pounds, and dozen eggs weigh from IA ounces to 30 ounces, and yet the price is the same for both. How few farmers pos. sess scales of any kind, and how many never know the weight of any ything they have to dispose of; the acreage of their fields, the quantity of the crops grown, the comparative value of their cows and other stock, or have any accurate know ledge of those things which business men find it necessary to become well &C., quainted with"

ANew York paper states that "a reg nlar rose craze has started and promises to continue. Not only for gardens and places close to the city, but at the sea- side and wherever they will thrive, people are planting roses and accommodating them for in and out of door decoration. The popularity of the rose and its sovereignty as the most fashionable flower is of con- paratively recent origin. Previous to 1870 the fashionable flower of the ball. room which invariably graced beauty's bouquet was the camellia, and bouquets of these flowers brought $15 to $20 in the winter past, as bouquets of roses do now. The camellia was also the favorite towering plant for decoration. About 1870 the practice of forcing roses began in Boston, where great attention was given to it, and the forcing of roses in the winter, especially for bouquet pur- poses, is now more extensively carried on close to Boston than anywhere in the country. Around this city the great rose growers are concentrated at Hobo ken and along the Morris and Essex road. The great rose growing state of the Union Is New Jersey, and it is there that the growing of roses, especially in plants for out of-doors, is carried to the greatest nerfection. D

Disastrous S0mnambuliSm.

A rather amusing incident occurred recently in Hog mountain district. A gentleman who is in the habit of walk ing in his sleep had dream. He dream ed that he saw fine covey of partridge running along toward an old house and then go in. Thinking this good op- portunity to capture them, he quietly slipped along until he got to the door, when he suddenly jumped inside and closed the door. What was his astonish- ment to discover mad dog in there, which rushed at him at once. His only chance of escape was to jump through a window, and through he went with a bound. When he awoke he was lying outside the house on the ground, having jumped through window in his bed room and carried the sash with him. He was badly bruised and h1s leg severely cut by the glass as he broke through Qacinnette (Georgin) Herald.

Giving the COuntersign.

In the fall of 1862 the One Hundred and Fifth Illinois Infantry, of which I was a member, lay encamped at Chicago. One day, having occasion to go into the city on a pass, and being detained be- yond the time of guard mounting, was quite uneasy about getting back into camp again without having all the boys know that I had overstaid my 'leave. D
 Along in the evening approached the guard, expecting, as I deserved, to be marched before the Major; but luckily a young German who knew me was on guard, and when presented myself he halted me all right, with ''Who comes dere9" answered, "A friend to the guard" ''Come on de front and brings the countersign init you. Say Lincola, or you don't get in here tonight" Of course, said 'Lincoln," very gravely, passed in, and my troubles were ended for that time.- Chicago Ledqer.

The National museum has sent its chief

The National museum has sent its chief taxidermist, MT. William T. Hornaday, on hunting tour through the far West, for the purpose of obtaining specimens of the buffalo before this animal becomes extinct in this country. It is firmly be- lieved by many good aut."rities that there are not now more than from fifty to one hundred buffaloes in the whole of Montana, outside of the National park, where there are probably from two hun- drcd to three hundred head. Hunters lie in wait outside the limits of the Ma tional park, waiting for these animals to cross the line, when they lose no time in despatching them as soon as possible. A stampede may occur at any time, which may result in all the buffaloes now in the park leaving; and if such were the case, very few, if any, would escape. There is said to be small herd of from eight to twelve buffaloes in southwestern Dakota. This region is a vast, level, treeless prairie, utterly desti- tute of wood, and it is MT. Hornaday's opinion that an attempt to find these few would be hopeless. Skins of buffalo head are now valued by taxidermists in Dakota at $50 each, from which it may be assumed that they have given up all hope of procuring more.

The Curious Young Lobster,

The young lobster when first matched measures about third of an inch in length and looks like small shrimp. The eyes are bright blue, and upon its body appear marks of orange and pink, making them very conspicuous. They are good swimmers during the first stage! of their growth, before their claws and other awkward appendages are devel oped, and indulge in the most extrava- gant antics in the water, turning somer saults and going through other acrobatit feats near the surface. Nature does no, provide them with any yelk-sac, and the little ones begin feeding voraciously a. soon as matched, If they are not fur. nished with proper food they attack ont another with cannibalistic intent. Tn, young Holsters in the aquaria at Woods
 Holl are fed upon their mothers, who are chopped up fine for the purpose. II nature it is supposed that myriads O the little Holsters upon rising to the sur face after leaving the eggs are consumed by predaceous fishes. Dr. Ryder, wht is Investigating the little Holsters a Woods Holl, writes that he has found among them some curious monstrosities such as twins with their heads fused, { central cyclopean eye and tails separate
 The lobster grows by stages or "molt. The first molting, as observed at Woods Holl, takes place about five days after leaving the egg.-New York Herald.

What is lightninga The authorities tell us that Lightning is the discharge of atmospheric electricity, accompanied by flash of light. Heat lightning is eighter the reflection of distant flashes on the clouds, or the frequent and therefore weak and silent discharge of electricity from the clouds through moist atmos- phere. Lightning cleaves the air with inconceivable rapidity, an leaves vacuum behind it, into which the surrounding air rushes with great force and with loud, cracking sound, which we name thun- der. Lightning and thunder take place at the same instant, but we see the for mer before we hear the latter. This is because the light travels with greater ve- locity than the sound"

AWed by an Ear TrumDet,

Some years ago we'll known Presby- terian divine was spending his summer vacation with his family in the Adiron- dacks. One Sunday he accepted an in- vitation to preach in one of the simple meeting houses of that region. In the congregation was a man who was appar- ently deaf, for he came to the service armed and equipped with an immense brass ear trumpet, and as soon as the sermon began went forward and took his seat we'll up on the pulpit stairs. The clergyman's little daughter was among the auditors; she had never seen an ear trumpet, and the spectacle of the form on the pulpit stairs steadily holding that instrument to his head filled her with awe and wonder On her way home from church the first thing she said to her father when they were alone was:

Millions of Stockings.

It is said that no less than several hun. dred different articles are now embraced in the general industry under the head of hosiery. The census of 1880 gives the total value of this class of products in the United States at about thirty mill lions of dollars, against eighteen and a half millions in 1870, seven and a quar- ter millions in 1860 and one million in 1850. The first mill was erected in Co., hoes in 1882. Half century, therefore, is about the limit of the history of this industry as a factory system in the United States.
 What proportion of the above figures relates to the manufacture of stockings can only be estimated roughly, as the census does not distinguish the products separately by values. The quantity of cotton hosiery in 1870 was 1,297, 342 dozen pairs, and in 1880 it was 3, 491, 243 dozen pairs. Of wool and mixed hosiery e,97o, ITO dozen pairs were produced, against 4, 14S, 71s dozen pairs, thus ap- proximating, in both cases, an increase of 100 per cent. in the ten years inter- vening. Considering the great depres- sion which marked nearly the whole of that period, and the growth of other in- dustries in the same time, this is re- markable showing.
 But there has been still more rapid expansion of the stocking industry since 1880. There are no statistics, but it is known in the trade that there has been great activity in and around Philadel- phia and in the west. The development of this industry in some of the western states as Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi gan, etc., in the past five years would astonish the general reader. In that quarter the manufacture takes the direc. ton of seamless hosiery, which is as ye 1 made only to small extent at the east being but just begun at Philadelphia. One concern at Rockville, Illinois, is the largest stocking factory in the country making seamless goods only. Massa chusetts and New Hampshire also pro duce considerable from wool, ane Rhode Island from wool and cottol mixed. Journal Qf Fabrics.

How to Detect Commercials.

Mir. Tanda of the Coin Department of the Sub-Treasury, New York, says: 'Many good coins lack ring, and many bad ones have it-especially gold coins filled with platinum. If a silver coin is of lead its color will betray it; if it is filled sharp eye can always detect the joint between the two halves. The absence of ring is easily explained. Silver dollars are stamped from long strips, the ends of which strips are apt to get curled in such manner as to break the lamine of the metal, so that the coins cut from it have flaws which des- troy the ring"

From the West Indies.

In olden times George Smith was a well-known trader in the village of Wayne. All storekeepers sold rum at that day, and Smith peddled lot of it. He drew it from hogshead, in which a plug took the place of a modern faucet.
 A piece of leather under the plug shaped the course of the stream. Some of Smiths customers occasionally bant- cred him about watering his rum, but Smith always good-naturedly replied that he never put water enough in it to hurt lem.
 One morning customer came in very early and asked for quart of the liquor. It happened that the rum was low in the hogshead. Smith canted it up, drew out the plug and only a few drops came, but frog jumped through the hole and hopped around as lively as ever.
 "Goshp' said Smith, "that's the first West India frog I ever saw. w."-Le0iston (Me.) Journal.
