of the seizure are false invoicing and ex.
cessive undervaluation. The seizure
was made upon information received az
the date Of the shipment from Trinidad.
The value of the sugar was much greater

LONDON, Aug. 3. Interest In the sem

Liverpool grows daily and the newspa-

dence morning and evening. When
Mrs. Maybrick was first arrested and the
damaging disclosures Of her relations
with Mr.. Alfred Briefly were brought
out popular feeling was all against her,
and little doubt was expressed in any
quarter of her guilt and Of her ultimate
conviction on the charge Of poisoning
her husband.

pletely Fevolutionixed public sentiment
and IL his work produces upon the jury
anything like the impression il has al-
ready made upon the public, Mrs.
MaYbrick's conviction is out of the Ques-

will be acquitted, or at the worst that
the jury will fail to agree
The medical testimony introduced hy

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 8.-The fullness

the recent news Of the ~seixure az d
British vessel IN Behring's sea. The ex-
citement occasioned BY the affair Ii In

understood why the American govern
ment should not entertain the same
opinion regarding international laws and
the three mile limit on the Pacific ~
well as on the Atlantic coast.
Appealing to the Mother Country.
The authorities here viii continue to
discuss the American pretensi0ns as 10
exclusive jurisdiction in Behring sea.
At present the governor general il in di-
rect communication with the British
government. which favors cautious
policy.
The Canadian government Is indig-
nant over repeated seizures ON the high

effect OF q refusal to sacrifice imperial
interests for domestic one Is hard 20

OF course nobody thinks of going 10

active military force exceeds SOC, 900

Canada can put $50. 900 men in the field.
Serious Domestic Quarrel.
The Antiquis agitation is domestic

Six hundred Protestant petitions signed

Spare Moments.

My young friend, how do you
spend your spare moments ? Are you
considering them as the gold dust of
time, daily using them to the best
possible advantage? If so, you are
indeed acting wisely; and by con-
tinuing so to do, you will at some fu-
ture day make your mark in the
world; and that mark will not be a
black one. Ask many of our most
learned and useful men how they ac-
quired their knowledge, and they
will tell you it was by improving
their spare moments in useful reading
or study. Remember, young man,
that moments lengthen into hours,
days, weeks, months and years; and
then how much may be accomplished
in this time. You know the proverb,
"take care Of the cents, and the dol
lars will take care of themselves"
Thus it is with time. Take care of
the moments, and the years will come
out right.

Famous Women

1t is significant fact that most of the wo.
men who have achieved fame in art, litera-
ture, or "affairs," have enjoyed vigorous
health. This shows that the mind, is never
capable of the severe and continued appli.
cation necessary to creative work, unless
the body is at its best. The woman who as.
pires to fill an exalted place among her as.
sociates, must be free from nervous debility
and female weaknesses. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription will Danish these and
it is warranted to restore those functional
harmonies which are indispensable 10 health.
AS specific for all those chronic weakness
es and ailments peculiar to women, it is un-
eQualed.

The Value of Blue Grass.

The st. Louis Agriculturist says
that some one has set forth the adj
vantages of blue grass in the follow
ing manner, which is concise and
correct
|. 1t improves with age and never
needs re-setting; pasture fifty years
old is in perfection.
.. 1t will do pasture a full month
earlier than clover, and about as
much later in the fall, thus greatly
frightening the grazing season. In
favorable seasons | have pastured
eight consecutive months.
3. 1t makes the best of winter pas
ture, and when allowed to grow up
for this purpose the cattle will thrive
on it whenever ii is not covered with
snow.
4. 1t is not injured by tramping, as
other grasses, rs it forms very dense
sward.
5. 1t is fattening, and not Nasty in
its early growth, and a bullock will
fatten on 1t faster than corn.
8. 1t will grow well on rolling
lands and thin soils, and is not in
jured by shade, and so produces prof.
liable crops in timber plantations
and on steep hillsides sloping TO the
south, where any other grasses would
be killed out by the freezing and
thawing of water.
7. Drought never kills it; no mat,
ter how thin the soil or how utterly
burned by the drought of summer, il
starts into vigorous growth again
with the first rain, and soon clothes
the fields with vendure. Other grass
es and farm crops fail at times, but
blue grass never. In all localities
where it fiourishes it should find 6
place on every farm.

The Declaration of Independence.

Few people know that the original
Declaration of Independence is kept
in the library of the State Department
at Washington. 1t is in cherry case
under glass. But the doors are
thrown open all day long, and strong
rays of light are eating up its ink day
by day. 1t is written on parchment.
The text of it is in hand as fine as
cOpper-plate, and the ink of this part
can still be plainly read. The sigma
lures, however, are written in differ
ent ink, and they are very fast disap-
pearing under the action of the light.
The bold signature of John Hancock
is faded almost entirely out. Only a
j, o, h, and an H, remain. Two
lines Ofnames are entirely removed
from the paper; not vestige of ink
remains to show that names were
ever there. Ben Franklin's name is
gone. Roger Sherman's name is fast
fading. | could not find the name of
Thomas Jefferson, and Elbridge Ger
ry has lost its last syllable. Charles
Carroll and John Adams have been
secured off by the light, and only
eleven names out Of fifty-siX can be
read without microscope. Just be-
low this copy lies the original of it in
Jefferson's own handwriting. 1t is on
foolscap paper, yellow with age, and
worn through where the manuscript
had been folded. The writing is fine
and close, and the whole occupies but
two pages. The ink is good, and it
remains as fresh as when it left the
quill of Jefferson, over one hundred
and twelve years ago. 1t is full OF
erasures and interlineationS, some OF
which are in Franklin's handwriting
and the others in the strong script Of
John Adams.

Leaks on the Farm.
Cor. Western Plowman.

Cor. Western Plowman.
The leaks in the roofs of the farm
buildings are not all that many farm
ers have to contend with. We see
many farmers buying high.priced
implements, and when through using
them for the season leaving them
where last used, either in furrow or
in the stubblefeld, until wanted the
next spring, and then loosing valuable
time in going to the shop for repairs,
or, what is worse, going to the store
for new ones. Have place or shell
ter for every machine, and when the
hired help or the owner himself is
through using, put it in the place
assigned for it. Some will say that
takes time. To be sure it does; but
is it not better to have tools that are
. fit to use at any time than it is to
stop the team when busy to go to
town to get them fixed and thereby
cause a leak in the pocket-book ?
Again, many will keep scrub stock
and breed from year after year be-
cause the owners of blooded stock
ask too high price for the service Of
their stock. Then, you may see, on
riding through the country, dilapi.
dated buildings, and the owner will
say he'is not able to repair them, but
on inquiry you will find that he will
spend enough money for whisky and
tobacco to keep them in good repair
Another leak is the hiring of cheap
help, mere eye servants, and leaving
them to the work, while the proprie
tor is in town talking politics, or sit
ting on the fence discussing neigh
borhood gossip with some one al
shiftless as himself.
These are but a few of the leaks
that might be mentioned, for pages
might be filled in enumerating tn,
things, both small and great, tina
keep the farmer plodding along, al
ways in debt, and eternally growing
about hard times.

Kiss Him and Let Him Go.

The story goes that a certain society
young man, noted for his handsome
bearing and winning voice, accom-
panied a young lady to her home
and, as all true lovers do, fingered
yet little while at the gate to
have lovers tete-a-tete with his
fair companion. The night was
beautiful, no one near to intrude,
and, above all, he loved! Why
shouldn't she him? With true
maidenly modesty she refused. He
implored. She still withheld from
him that which would fill his cup of
happiness The request was repeat
ed several times, and so engrossed
did the young man become in WOO
ing he failed to notice the approach
of the parental step. The old gentle
man, who had been there himself,
and did not care to intrude upon the
happiness of the young couple,
quietly stepped behind convenient
rosebush, waited, thinking the
young man would soon leave. In
this he was mistaken. The lover
tarried over the request until the
patience of the old gentleman was
exhausted. A voice the couple well
knew aroused them from their hap
piness in tone of impatient anger
by saying: Daughter, kiss the
fool and let him 60 home" 1t is re-
ported that the young man only hi

deavor to comply with the old gen
tleman's request.-Marietta (Ga
