MORE OPIUM.
Esferts to smugEle II Into the
County Jail Frustrated.


County Jail Frustrated.
Yesterday Jailor Russell at the
county Jail frustrated another attempt
to smuggle opium into the Jail. Last
riday cake was brought to the jail
and handed to Russell with the re.
quest that he would give it to a GER
tain prisoner, which was done; but
yesterday when a telegraph messen-
ger boy came to the Jail and handed
in another large cake for the same
prisoner, Russell thought all was not
right, and consequently took the cake
to his room aud examined it. Upon
close scrutiny he found that the
paper which covered the bottom OF
the cake and which adhered to it had
been cut. He thereupon proceeded to
carefully remove the paper, and was
rewarded for his search by finding
that plug had been cut out of the
bottom of the cake and cavity
scooped out, in which were two large
plugs of opium. OF course these were
taken out and the plug OF cake put
into the hole again and the paper
gummed over the bottom of it. A
lrusty then handed the cake to the
party to whom it had been sent for.
Shortly afterwards the prisoner
called the trusty to the bars Of his
cell and said to him: did jailor Rus.
sell say anything about that cake p
and being answered in the negative, be
then said "Well there must be some
mistake about that cake, don't think
it was for me-"
This was reported to Russell, who
asked the man TO return it to him,
bui he replied that "the boys" haG
eaten it,

DIVERSITY THE MUTTON.
The Cheapest and Surest Way of Maxim,
Money Out of Sheep.

The Cheapest and Surest Way of Making
Money Out of Sheep.
There should be definite aim in
suiting the markets with our mutton
as well as our wool. Our home wool
en- mills require certain grades of
wool. Usually, wooden mill has been
located with a view to using the do
nestle feeces of the region in which
it is located. 1t might be unwise in a
wool grower to embark in growing Il
grade of wool that would have to be
sent to distant market. The ex-
penses of transportation, commissions,
assurances, ETC., which are to be paid
before returns are made, may be no
tri1ing consideration, hindering fair
profits. Aside from these, there is
some satisfaction in selling at home.
This line of thought may serve to
illustrate what l am saying of tho
mutton product of region.
1t is good business sense to raise what
will sell rather than what we have
prejudice for. We find most direct
profits from raising the best products
at as little expense as possible. for the
markets we best understand. Usually,
our home markets will meet all these
conditions Our home manufacturers
and our home butchers can help us to
valuable information as to the particu-
lar grades wanted. Because one man
raises export mutton is no just reason
why l should. He has information and
helps that l have not If my homo
market demands English mutton,
heavily fatted, that gives a thick gravy
and strong, mutton flavor, it would be
unwise in me to produce the mutton
that luxury demands--that with finest
grain and the most delicate and ex-
quisite flavor.
No American idea of mutton suits
the prejudices of an Englishman. Our
tastes are different; our climatic in
fiuences make most marked differ
ence in our tastes and the wants of our
system. Hence, American independ-
ence should dictate to us what to raise
and use. 1t might be well to study
anew all conditions, fitness. economies,
markets and methods from a home
standpoint. We want the cheapest,
surest, new money out of our sheep

There is little difficulty in retain
ing potatoes in nearly as good a con-
dition as those freshly dug, provided
the temperature is kept SO low that
they will not sprout or grow, the skin
being nearly impervious to moisture so
that they will not wilt. Beets, tur-
nips, and especially parsnips. become
withered and dry in a comparatively
short time, and it is essential to imbed
them in a suitable. packing substance
to prevent the escape of moisture.
1t is certainly much to be regretted
that so few farmers keep accurate
records of their operations. A double
loss results to themselves and to the
public. 1t is an absolute loss to any
man to have no actual knowledge of
his business affairs, based upon re-
corded facts. And it is public loss
to have no accurate record of the re-
suits of the most important industry of
the country, being that upon which
the prosperity of all others is found to
depend.

Most of the skillful devices invented

The hoofs of horses are made of

The finest file of human manufacture

Dutch rush used by cabinet-makers.
The jaws of the turtle and tortoise are
natural scissors. The squirrel carries
chisels in his mouth, and the hippopot-
anus is provided with AIDES, which are

The carpenters plane is found in the
jaws of the bee. The woodpecker has
powerful little trip-hammer. The
diving-bell initiates the work of the
water-spider, which constructs small
cell under the water, clasps a bubble of
air between its hind legs, and dives
down to its submarine chamber, with
the bubble, displacing the water grad

tains large airy room surrounded by

The iron mast of modern ship is
strengthened by deep ribs running
along its interior. A porcupine quill

engineers found that hollow beams
were stronger than solid ones, they
only discovered principle that is very

straw, if solid, could not support it's
head of grain. The bones of the high

birds. where lightness and strength are
most beautifully com bined, are hollow.

membered, though 1t is thought it was
for capturing big dog while passing

out: What's the matter with George
CLARKE" And the answer came in
stanter: Hes all right The ques-
ton and answer were Immediately
taken up by the Chickasaw Guards and
other companies in the immediate vi
clnlty, and the night was not far gone
before the city had spread throughout
the entire camp. The thing seemed to
strike every body's fancy. In using the
phrases they all stuck to George Clark's
name, however, and it was several
days before they began to substitute
| other names. In the meantime the
battery boys began to concertize. as it
were. One man would ask the question
at the top of his voice, and dozen otlI-
ers would shout the answer in unison.
| This idea, too, caught the other soldiers,
and it could be heard in every COM
pany's quarters. When the encamp-
ment broke up, the troops carried the
cry to their homes, but it was suffered
to fall somewhat into disuse until the
Louisville Legion went to Washington
in May, 1887. At that encampment
there were many men who had been at
st. Louis six years before, including
| some of the Louisville boys, who loss
no time in reviving their old war-cry.
The legion marched down Pennsyl-

went into camp at the base of the
Washington monument, and by the

How TO Fatten Old Cows.

There is widespread prejudice
against cow beef. The butchers do
not like it because fattened old COW
has larger proportion of waste than
a young animal, and as often fattened,
the beef is apt to be tough. There are
many exceptions to this, and some
farmers claim to know how to fatten
cows so that their meat shall be tender
and delicious The main secret seems
to be to fatten quickly and give due
proportion of succulent food. The
high quality of English roast beef is
largely due to feeding on roots or man
gels Oil cake is better than Indian
meal, for the reason that though rich
it is not heating nor constipating.
Feed enough roots, pumpkins or en-
silage to keep the digestion good, and
enough grain to fatten quickly. The
BEST beef ever ate was that from an
Did cow that had been fattened mainly
