A Jail Honor.

Helena, Ark, March SIT was re-
ported on the streets to-day by reliable
parties who arrived from Friar's Point.
Miss, this morning, that four persons
confined in the Jail were burned to
death last night.
Among the prisoners was William
Grey, a white man and noted despera-
do from Coahoma county, who was
convicted several weeks ago at Friar's
Point of arson, and was sentenced to
Imprisonment for ten years in tile Miss
issippi Penitentiary. lie was being de-
tanned in Jail there until special agent
Of the penitentiary conld convey him
and three other felons to Jackson, Miss.
The other prisoners were Fred Pow
ers, white, a pal of Gray's who was
also under sentence of five years for
robbery; Powers, white man, under
arrest for an assault with intent to kill;
Andy Brown, colored, under death
sentence for murder, and a negro boy,
aged fifteen, who was crazy.
Last night the jailor, named Cooper.
who lived some distance from the Jail,
acertained that the building was on
fire, and fastened to the scene with as
much assistance as he could summon
and attempted to extinguish the flames.
They tried to force the doors of the
cells with sledge hammers and chiselS
in order to rescue the prisoners, who
were gradually succumbing to the
smoke. The prisoners, with blanched
faces, were standing in the corridors
besceching, praying and exhorting the
spectators TO release them from their
horrible situation, but all efforts were
in vain. Then, when they saw that
there was no hope, they requested that
a minister be sent for to pray for them
before they were cremated. The min
lister arrived. and with some of those
present joined in and prayed for the
poor fellows until the Jail fell in.
Before Grey succumbed he acknowl-
edged.that he set fire to the Jail pur-
posely with the intention of escaping,
and he declared that he was innocent
of the charge of which he was con-
victed.

The Pasteur Treatment In Barcelona.

The municipal authorities of BARGE
Iona, as we announced last year, have
established a municipal microbiologi-
cal laboratory, mainly with the view
Of enabling persons bitten by rabid
animals to obtain the advantages of
Pasteur's method of treatment. To
the post of directory of the laboratory
DIR. Jaime Ferran, whose name is well
known as having proposed and carried
out system of anti-cholera inocula-
tions, was appointed, and he has been
I assisted by Drs. PAUL., COMMENCE, and
Lluch. A report of the work done
from May 10 to December 10, 1887,
has just been published in La Indepen-
dencia Medica. Altogether eighty-fve
persons have been subjected to the
treatment. Of these, twenty-five had
been bitten by ANIMALS that were GER
tainly rabid, fifteen by those which
had been pronounced rabid by medi-
cal men or veterinary surgeons,
and thirty-seven by animals which
were believed to be rabid, but whose
condition could not be verified by pro-
fessional men. The remaining eight
persons had not been bitten at all, but
submitted to the process in order to
prove its harmlessness. The duration
of the treatment was more than three
months in forty-three of the cases,
more than forty days in sixty-three and
less than that in twenty-five cases.
Not single case, either of those who
had been bitten or of those who had
not, proved fatal. The wounds were
caused by seventy-two dogs, two cats,
and two mules. Two of them were
not bites, but dissection wounds with
instruments tainted with the virus of
rabies. At first DIR. Ferren carried
out the inoculations of his rabbits ac-
cording to Pasteur's method. e., by
trephining. Recently, however, .he
has adopted new, and, as he believes,
an improved, plan-viz., the injection
of a single drop of the emulsion of the
medulla containing the virus into the
anterior chamber of the rabbits eye.
This produces exactly the same effects
in about the same time as the trephin-
ing method.-Lancet.

PENNY COFFEE STANDS.
A splendid Effort to Relieve the Wants Of
the Very Poor.

hhN N~Ny AopNs
An intelligent aad vell-directed Of
fort is being made in Brookll2 to re.
lieve the wants Of the very poor. Coffee
stands have been started in different
parts of the city, where half-piut OF
coffee with milk and sugar and slice
of bread can be bought for cent The
coffee is of the best quality, as are also
the sugar and milk. and the bread Is
prepared especially for the purpose.
Four Of these stands have been estab-
lished and have been in operation since
October /. 1887
The experiment is under the charge
of an association of women. one of
whom studied the cheap coffee system
in London, before starting the enter
prise in Brooklyn. Thus far the mum
ber of people fed has been about |. 900
day and the cost of the food supplied
has been about S29l month. The sales.
1t will thus be seen, meet the cost OF
the food supplies and leave a small sur
plus which is applied towards the pay
ment of the rent In addition to this.
also, is the cost for service, which has
averaged about $50 week at the four
stands. The deficit of $ll6 a month
for the whole enterprise has been met
by voluntary contributions of those in
terested in the experiment.
Brooklyn is the first city in this coun-
try to give trial to this method of
supplying working-men and working
women with wholesome food at cost
prices In every great city there is a
large amount Of destitutlon, especially
during the cold months of the year.
How much of it could be avoided II the
working classes exercised economy and
foresight this is not the place to dis
cuss. The fact that this want exists
must be recognized, and the method OF
relieving which partakes the least OF
charity and encourages the least de-
pendency in the recipient deserves the
largest degree of support -Philddel-

STABLES FOR COWS.


The stable for COW may be very
simple affair. II horse is kept, there
should be separate entrance for the
COW, or the horse or the COW should bo
kept in closed stall, so that there can
be no danger of one injuring the other.
II "a pig is kept it should never be per-
mitted to become source of i'll odors
in the COW stable, and by all means,
the pig should not be kept in the ma
nure yard. II a COW needs to be kept
clean for the sake of the sweetness and
purity of the milk and butter, a pig
should be kept equally clean for the
sake of the meat; for pig is subject
TO all the conditions in this respect
that COW is, and pure, wholesome
pork is as desirable as pure, wholesome
milk and butter can be. For prepar-
ing the feed for the cow, a small-sized
fodder cutter should be procured,
one of the copper-strip roller
kind is perhaps the most desira-
Bile and easily kept in order and
the fodder should be cut and fed with
the meal There is economy in it, and
a waste of at least one-feurth of the
feed and fodder in using long hay and
dry meal In the summer the feeding
should be pasture, or grass cut and car
riod to small yard, and the daily al-
lowance Of meal may be given mixed
with the fresh grass, or some Of the
waste of the garden and the house.
Parings Of potatoes turnips, pea pods,
pea vines aud the clippings Of the lawn
will all afford useful food for a cow.
In country places, where half the road
way belongs to the owner Of the lot,
and the public have only right of way
and passage over the road, and have no
right to leave the beaten track and
damage the other parts Of the road un-
less Obliged to do so, the roadsides may
