OIL from corn is one of the latest prod

which is now grown in the United States

per year. has been experimental with and
found capable of yielding 318 per cent.
of its weight in oil, the germ of the ker-
mel being the part from which the oil is
extracted. The new material is of pale
yellow somewhat thicker than either the
olive or cotton seed oil, and does not seem
to be readily available as a substitute for
them but it is well adapted for lubri-
eating purposes, and may be used as
salad dressing.

How Man Has Lost Many Instincts Pos.
sessed by the Lower Animals.
If the doctrine be true that man is
really the heir of all the various species
and genera of the animal kingdom, il
seems a little hard upon US, says the
American Analyst, that even by way Of
exception we inherit none of the most
marvellous instincts of those species an
genera, and have to be content with those
greater but purely human faculties by
which even the most wonderful of animal
instincts have been somewhat extinguish-
ed. Sir John Lubbock ma1ntaing with a
good deal of plausability that there are
insects, and very likely even higher ami
mails. which perceive colors of which we
have no glimpse and hear sounds which
are to us inaudlble. Yet we never hear
of human retina that includes in its
vision those colors depending on vibra-
ton of the either which are too slow or
too rapid for our ordinary eyes, nor of a
human ear which is eutranced with music
that to the great majority OF our species
is absolutely inaudible.
Again. we never hear of a human being
who could perform the feat, of which we
were told only recently, of a bloodhound.
In dark night it followed up for three
miles the trail of a chief With whom the
b.ood-hounds could have never
come in contact Che had just purlolned
rolls of tan from the lanyard IN
which the dog was chained up, and final
ly sat down under the tree in which the
man had taken refuge. Why, we wonder,
are those finer powers for discriminating
and following the track of the scant which
so many of the lower animals possess en-
lirely extinguished in man, If man be the
real heir of all the various genera which
show power inferior to his own.
We see no trace in animals of that high
enjoyment of the finer scents which makes
the poisoning of the spring flowers so
great delight to human beings, and yet
men are entirely destitute of that almost
unerring power of tracking the path OF an
odor, which seems to be one of the princi

IT is commented upon as a notable fact
that a negro student has won one of the
two prizes in Harvard college declama-
tory competition. Some of those New
England colleges have had negro students
for a hundred years; and with the natural
aptitude of the colored man for vocal f
Auency, it is not surprising that some fine
DISCLAIMERS are developed. In one instance,
many years before slavery was abolished,
the only black man in the class was elected
president of the chief literary society In
the institution. The republic of letters
has been said to be the least concerned
about race distinctions socially.

Chicago jewelers. Run Their Quarry to the


CHICAGO, May 16.-G. W. Brown and
John Fl. Guidrat, the diamond experts
who have been victimizing the jewelers. of
this city, have at last been run In by the
police. c. R. Gilman, of north Clark St.,
missed a valuable damon pin after the
pair had left his place, and after he called
the police and had them arrested in the
street, the pin was found in the gutter
where one OF them had thrown it. An
agonized and fearful witness of the pro-
ceedings in court, when the prisoners
were bound over. was Guidrat's handsome
young wife, whom he married at Balti-
more less than three months ago, and who
has been travelling about the country
with him since on sort of extended
honeymoon journey. Hyman & Berg were
also losers to the extent of $500 or s400
Clerks from the two establishments went
up to the station and with charming re-
gularity identified the two prisoners as
having inspected goods shortly before the
losses were discovered.

THE colored people in the south, more
frequently than in the north, are becom-

departments of industrial training. This

madame knowing no German and cabby
knowing no French. In the midst of it all
tall, erect, white-haired gentleman came
from the villa across the way, and said in
French

me for being careful
Well. the old gentleman finally paid the
cabman the exact amount due, and few
pence (pfennigs) for drink money, and so
the matter ended. That evening, however,

this great improvement Mr. King has added
the following new departments: Dry goods,
ladies' furnishings, hosiery, jewelry, kid gloves

Kings Palace, S12-S14 Seventh street north

vast increase of trade, is undergoing the pro-

and met with the patronage of the best circles
of the public, developing great and growing
trade which necesstated removal in 1873 to his
present quarters to secure increased facilities

and new departments, dry goods, etc, have
compelled the King of Kings Palace to again
enlarge his present quarters by leasing the
adjoining premises and converting the two
stores, S12 and S14 Seventh street, into one
mammoth double store.
Mr.. Kings openings at the beginning of each

Prohibition Prohibits

Judge Aikens of the End circuit
has decided that u person arrested
for selling liquor without a license
could not be punished for that Of
Tense, but is indictable for selling
liquor at all, with or without a
license. The following is the text
of this decision: "This court holds
that prohibition went into effect
on the I'd day of November upon
the admission of the state into the
union, and that it repealed all ex-
listing laws relative to licensing
the sale of Intoxicating liquors as
beverage, and that by repeating
these laws it repealed all the pen
alties for the violation of them
and necessarily repealed the law
of 1879 relating to license under
which this Indictment is brought,
and that there is no penalty now
in force by which the defendant,
if found guilty could be punished.
That although in form article "a
of the constitution is not absolute
ly self executing, yet section 217
of the penal code provides ample
and adequate penalties for the vio-
lation of this or any other pro-
hibitory law which does not con-
tain within itself a penalty for its
violation.
That every person who has sold
Intoxicating liquors since the
second day of November is Liable
to an indictment and punishable if
found guilty in the same manner

exceeding $500 or Imprisonment

selves through the columns of the

ing of the law. l think any other
construction would, in effect,
thwart the will of the people as
expressed in the constitutional
convention and at the polls. In
other words, | hold that we have
constitutional prohibition and that
adequate punishment is provided
for its violation by law, and that
it does not depend upon abe cap
rice or notions of the Legislature

authority that the contract has
been let for the construction of at
least one hundred miles of the
Midland Pacific railway and that
the work will be commenced early
in the spring. This is the line, it

the Hills is to be pushed through

assurance of its construction will
