Court convened at Thompknsvnlc Monday
morning and the grand jury Tuesday returned
into court three indictments against each one
of the two Clarks, alias Reeves, brothers, and
Mallard. The three men pleaded guilty to the
charges in two of the indictments, ono of
which was for burglary, and were each given
five years ON each charge or ten years each on
the two. To tho charge of burning tho court
house, which is said to have been contained i'll
the Indictment, they pleaded not guilty, and
the jury was quickly empannelled to try them.
The jury was out but a few minutes and re-
turned a verdict of guilty, fixing each mans
the penitcntiary, making the sum total of each
ones punishment thirty years at Frankfort.

The Mare In Foal.

Ii is q common but erroneous ides
that mares in foal should not be work
ed. IG is better both for the mare and
the future foal that the mare be given
moderate work mp to a month before
foAling, and il the work be continued
up to within q week OF the foaling il i.
fully as well. The same rule will apply
to all domestic animals. They should
be allowed ample range for daily exer-
else during the time of carrying the
young. The time for rest is when the
animal is sucking the young. At this
time it is altogether better both for the
mare and the fcaI that the dam have
full liberty and that she be kept on
grass.
The system remains normal and cool,
and, although some foal may be lost,
health il recuperated and the flesh is
saved from any complications arising
from feverish milk, always more or less
present when the mare is obliged to
labor daily in addition to supporting the
foal.

The Apprentice System.

\ very serious question confronts the
American youth under the existing re.
strictive system of apprenticeship.
What is to become of the millions of
boys, who, having finished going to
school, are looking about for something
TO do? 1t does nos matter how anxious
parents may be to have their boys learn
. trade, nor how willing the boys may
be to serve an apprenticeship at any of
the industrial pursuits, they find it i'm
possible to get places, because the labor
organizations will not permit it TO Ne
done, save in very limited way. One
would suppose that the workmen them.
selves, who are almost always blest with
families OF vigorous boys and girls,
would so modify the restrictive features
in their constitution as to enable their
children 10 learn trades if they are so
disposed. As IL is, the mechanics of
this country-nstive mechanics, we
mean-are becoming scarce and the
the places which they should oceupy are
being taken by mechanics from across
the sea. The result is, the American
boys are deprived of an opportunity to
acquire mechanical skill, and are per-
force, driven into overrrowded profes.
ssons, for the filing of which they may
have no qualifications whatever, or they
are compelled TO take to day lsboriug,
or 20 live upon their wits. Something
ought to be done TO remedy this. IL ia
worth the bes, thought of men like
Powderly, who have close at heart the
Welfare OF the toiIing classes, to work
'ut a remedy Cor all this. American
boys ought TO have n chance TO grow up
s. skilled mechanics, and not be com.
'elied TO eat the bread of idleness, and
-scome useless, il not dangerous mem
ers Of society.

A Dozen Facts worth Knowing.

The sure preventive for cholera is
cleanliness.
a bathroom should not open into
sleeping apartments.
Antique oak or cherry is the favorite
wooo for bedroom sets.
Pine pillows are used on library
lounges as melting sIumber.
Keep a separate saucepan for boiling
potatoes in if possible.
The oftener flour is sifted for sponge
cake, the lighter the cake will be.
The water in which codfish Las been
soaked is very good for washing the
zinc uEder the s.ove.
Bathroom accessories may be simple
or elegant, bnt plenty of water aud soap
are within the reach OF all.
Take a bucket OF fresh water INTO

Cape Cod Drifting into the Sea. /.

''It seems only a question o: time,
and that not so remarkably Tar distant.
when the whole OF Cape Cod below
Welltiset will drift into the sea and
lose itself. Less than 100 years have
passed since a Lighthouse was placed
here by the Government. The orig inal
purchase included plot of land cen
acres in extent. At the present time
this inclosure embraces barely six acres.
The waste is steady, gradual and GER
tain, it never builds up and the sea is
moving slowly but surely in land. At
points where there is little or no sod to
hold the lighter sod beneath. the wind
gets a firm hold aud lends Its aid to the
efforts of the sea aud rain. On a point
just north OF the marine stations at
Highland Light tie face of the bluff has
moved inland 200 feet during the past
five years. With the present rate of
waste in thirty years the lighthouse
will stand on dangerous foundation

Farming Under Low and High TarifE.

Congressman Knute Nelson, of Miu-
nesota, made some telling points in his
speech oD the tariff last week. We do
not wonder that Mr.. Nelson's Republi-
can associates tried 20 howl him down.
His departure from the usual RepubIi-
caa line on the tariff was calculated to
make the dry bones rattle, and it did.
One or the most Interesting portions of
his speech wss tha: which referred to
the low-tariff period from 1916 to 1850.
Mr.. Nelson referred to the welI-knovn
fact that during the operation of the
Walker tariff the country enjoyed the
greatest general prosperity il has ever
known. No class of our population re-
allied more decided benefits from that
tariff than the farmers. In those days
the money OF the country was in the
hands OF the taImers. Strange as il
may seem now, IL was a common thing
for merchants to borrow mouey from
their country customers. The ayerape
yield OF cotton then was not much over
three bales to the hand. How does the
case stand now? The average WELD of
cotton is at least three times as much
TO the hand as it was before the war.
The price Of cotton is better on the aver
age than it was then. And yet we now
have poverty and mortgages among the
farmers instead of the prosperity and
wealth which they enjoyed in the low
tariff period. This is in spite of the
fact that heir labor now costs them
lees, that is on an average three times
as productive as it was then.

To Abolish Dishwashing.

The suggestion that such table ware,
plates, cups and saucers, butter dishes.
ETC.. as are washed after each meal, be
manufactured of paper and sold so
cheaply that they can be destroyed after
nsing, is having a wide circulation ia
the papers now, though it has been
talked among the other possibilities OF
the development of paper material for
as long as ten years and it was suggest
ed in paper read before a young ladies
society year or so ago when house
keeping was being discussed.
A good many hard working house.
wives will condemn the notion as
''shiftless" and scorn the idea of being
afraid OF the work of washing dishes
which its adoption might suggest.
Nevertheless it is likely to come along
with the train OF labor-ssving improv-
ments that modern Inventive genius has
made possible, and it is q wonder that
some effort has not been made to put
the idea into practice. The dishes could
be made quite as handsome and attrac-
tive as the china and earthern ones now
used and the amount of tedious labor
and expense, too, that might be saved
would be beyond calculation. Labor
saving expedients do not necessarily
imply isziness, and no housekeeper will
fail to lind useful employment for her
self or her servants in the time saved
from the drudgery OF dishwashing.
Let US have paper dishes by all means
There's millions in it for some enterpris-
ing manufacturer.

The Corn Crop-SuggestIons in Season..
Notes.

The corn crop is the most important
son that 1t gives not only large amour:
CT grain bat also larger proportion of
long food than any other. No matter
how low price corn may reach in the
future, its value as combination"
crop will always make it desirable on
the farm. it thrives on a greater vari-
ETY. OF soils and over a larger extent OF
territory than any other staple crop,
and is substitute for many articles that
cannot be produced in some sections.
1t is almost exclusively an American
plant and is source OF wealth aud a
securitv against famine. and places this
country in a position to which no rival
can attain. The very ease with which
I. is grown, and its adaptabiliiy to
nearly all sections, have caused much
carelessness in its cultivation. To prop
erly cultivate a crop of corn means to
thoroughly clean the lard of weeds and
grass. Corn should therefore be grown
in rotation with other crops, and the
labor bestowed in its cultivation should
not be charged wholly TO the corn crop,
but also to the succeeding crop. There
are several modes of laying off and cul-
tivating corn, but in this section the
'scheck row. system is in general use,
as /. permits OF cultivating the crop in
two directions. The most important
matter is good seed. and it should be OF
a variety that has been tried in the
the mel ghboEhood where the crop is TO
be grown, as some varieties do best in
certain sections only. Next in import
ance is plenty of manure. as the crop is
a gross feeder ana grows rapidly. The
young plants shonid receive more culti-
vation when just beginning to make
headway than later or, in order TO gain
a good send-off before the dry season
Should it happen) shall come on. Some
farraers do not work the corn thoroughly,
allowing grass and weeds 10 make pro-
gress before going into the ield with the
cultivator. \ corn crop should always
be kept clean. The grass and weeds
should be killed as soon as high enough
to be seen. There are two reasons for
50 doing. One is that the seeds of weeds
and grass are induced to ge-minate by
frequent cultivation, thus destroying a
larger number, as we'll as avoiding the
seeding of those that get ahead of the
corn. Another reason for frequent cuI-
tivat:on is that by keeping the ground
loose the fine earth serves as a mulch
and prevents, to a certain extent. loss
of moisture from the soil, as well as
rendering the plant food of the toil
more soluble. Corn may be planted
now, and the cultivation should begin
as soon as ,hs CORE can be seen in :he
rows.
