The recent cremation OF six colored
children in South Carolina cabin in
which they had been locked by their
parents, who went TO religious re.

ing such criminal neglect.
Tragedies of this nature are gu to
frequent in the South, and occasionally
impr soned children are burned to
death in the Northern States. Only a
few days ago child was terally
roasted in dwelling in the Polish
settlement on the East Side Of this
city. The father, widower. could
not afford to pay house-keeper. and
was in tho habit of locking his child
rem in the house during his absence at
his daily labor.
In cases of the kind last mentioned
there is room for the exercise OF
charity; but law provid ng for tho
punishment of parents for any Ill that
may befall children who are by them
imprisoned and neglected. might save
life among the ignorant and the
thoughtless. -Aiisoaukee Wisconsin.

CHEAP MANURE.
The desire to get something for
nothing is rs strong in many farmers
rs 1t IS in other classes. Unfortunately
for the farmer thus affected, his
avarice generally overreaches itself. A
great deal is said about cheap manures-
Farmers whose ideas about mannriai
values are indefinite often buy fer
tilizers mainly because they are low
priced. Yet such may be. and usully
are. the derrest In the end. The
most valuable manurial elements,
phosphate and nitrogen. are scarce.
They cannot DO furnished cheaply in
available form. Some manufacturers
of fertil GERS make use of old leather
TO furnish nitrogen; but this supply is
practically good for nothing. A fer
tilizer that does not help crops Is worse
than none. 1t wastes not only the
money paid for it. but ali expended in
its appl,cat on. 1t is the saving of
expense in using them that makes the
higher priced manures more profitable.

law that he who has money can make

LEAVES FOR COMPOST.
What ribald scoffers would call
venerable chestnut in the shape Of adj
vice Is still going the rounds of the ag-
ricultural press. it is that farmers
gather leaves from the forests to fill
up their barnyard and compost with
overmanure. The advice usually Is
followed by the assurance that this will
pay. The manurial value of forest
leaves is enormously overrated. Left

anywhere else. II our farmers were 10

A Brilliant Carmine.

August Duboise tsnked up yesterday
preparatory to engaging in the pleasing
psstime of giving things in general, and
the city in particular, a oarmine hue. He
gave warning whoop, and was feeling
good when Officer Musgrove swooped
down upon him and spoiled the fun.
This excited the ire of Mr.. Ernest
Marie, who had comfortable filled himself
with beer and such things to better enable
him to enjoy The sportive pranks of his
friend, Dnboise, as he daubed great
patches of red over the city, and he calmly
bore down upon Officer Musgrove and
valiantly endeavored to rescue his friend.
Then it was that Mr.. Emil EIeclerc and
Mr., Louis Coarrige appeared upon the
scene.
They, too, had succeeded in getting
themselves into state of dreamy mellow
ness that they might enjoy the frantic
efforts of Duboise to change the color OF
the whole city. OF course they went tc
the rescue of their friends, and had moi
Sheriffs Peck and Platt happened along

President Diaz making a visit co Texas or
any portion of the United States during
his term of office as president. 1t was
this constitutional provision which kept
Benito Jaurez at Paso del Norte during
the Invasion of Mexico by Macmillan
and the French unde r Bazaine. Although
in danger of capture, in poverty and with
scarcely any following, Jaurez refused the
offers of an asylum constantly rendered
by the United States, and, always claiming
to be the legal president of Mexico, pre-
ferred to remain on Mexican soil in q
small adobe building opposite the old
church at Paso del Norte, not many
steps from the barracks where Cutting
afterwards was imprisoned. The adobe
building hes since been taken down and a
fine federal building erected in it's place.
1t is used at present as the postoffce of
the city. The only chance for President
Diaz to meet and shake hands with Presi-
dsnt Cleveland is to do so on the middle
of the international bridge across the
Rio Grande at Ell Paso.
