PARDON NUMBER TWO.

A pardon was also granted to Antonio
Bermudas, convicted in Los Angeles in Oc-
tober, 1889, of disturbing the peace and re-
sisting an officer, and sentenced to impris-
onment in the County Jail for 115 days.
The pardon was issued for the reason that
Bermudas is a poor, ignorant Mexican,
who undoubtedly did not realize the enor-
nifty of the offense of resisting an officer
He is widower, with several small chill
dren, who are without any care save that
of some neighbors, and are suffering for
food and clothing. The Governor is in re-
ceipt of letters from M. T. Owens, the COM
hitting Police Judge who is soliciting this
pardon, in which he states that had he
known OF Bermudas' circumstances he
would not have sentenced him so heavily.
He has already served about 70 days, and
in view of the facts presented the pardon is
granted.

Governor Waterman yesterday pardoned
Edward Eggers, convicted in San Francisco
last March of burglary and sentenced TO
three years imprisonment in the House OF
Correction. The reasons for the pardon
are as follows:
"Eggers is young man, only 81 years OF
age, of an excellent family, and this is his
first offense. 1t was a slight one and was
due to a too free use of intoxicants, to
which he was accustomed. His further
imprisonment and consequent contact with
criminal element cannot out result to his
disadvantage, and as he has shown through
repentance and a sincere desire to prove
that ne has reformed, the Superintendent
OF the House of Correction, Mr.. Foley, has
recommended his pardon. His petition is
signed by ten of the jurors by whom the
case was tried also by ]. G. and John D..

A Delightful Treat.

A curious scene was witnessed in a
we'll known restaurant near the HalleS at
m early hour this morning. A gentle-
man. who said his name was Adalbert,
and is reported to belong to a good fam
ily. invited two men whom he met on
the street to supper. They supped in a
most luxurious manner, consuming along
with their meat several bottles of cham
nacne. At last Adalbert knocked on
the table with bis stick and shouted,
"Bring the bill Quick! am like
Louis XIV, don't like to be kept wait
ing" The proprietor brought the
reckoning, which amounted to $40, and
the representative Of Louis XIV tossed
it to his companions, remarking' "Pay
that if YOU like! AS for me l have
only got foTty-one cents in my pocket
and I intend to keep them there!'
But" expostulated his companions II
was you who invited us to support
Every likely" was the reply; 81 invited
you to supper, and you have supped;
now 1 invite you to pay, therefore
paw That's my character" The result
of the oltercation was that all three were
taken before NJ. Lejeune, Inspector OF
Police, who soon found out that the gen.
tlemau calling himself Adalbert was IN
reality lunatic and had already been in
St. Anne's Asylum for mental vaFgaries
of a similar kind. He was sent to the
iuirmary of the Central Police Station
for further inquiry into the state OF his
mind. The other men were liberated on
promising to pay the landlord when they
had money enough. -L0naon Telegraph

Perhaps the cleverest method OF the
moonshiner in avoiding detection is the
cave system. In this the house OF the
moonshiuer is placed on hill not far
from precipitous and gloomy ravlne or
gully half way down the side of the "a
vine nearest the house, and, if possible,
adjacent to several large rocks. A cave
ten to twelve feet is excavated, provided
a natural underground apartment does
not exist. The dirt from this excavation

is either thrown on a plowed field or 9th
erwise carefully disposed of. The path
is obliterated by sowing grass seed or
scattering branches of trees across 1t here
and there. In going to and from this
subterraneous apartment, whose entrance
Is very small and hidden by rocks and
shrubbery, different routes are chosen
each day, so that no worn path from the
house to the cave will be presented to
the stranger or the curious.
There is no chimney or visible means
of escape for the smoke from this sub
terraneous apartment. This is the most
important part of the whole matter

distance perchance of 22O yards, is an
underground chimney, made OF stone
for twenty-five feet or so from the cave,
and composed of wood for the remainder.
This is buried in q trench that rises con-
stantly to the house, where the smoke
finds exit through the regular chimney
of the dwelling. 1t is necessary to keep
fire burning in the house during the time
that the fire is alight in the underground
distillery. Philadelphia Press.

A Mountain Of Human Flesh,

Comparatively few people know tnst
the largest woman in Georgia lives in
Houston County, yet such is, doubtless,
q fact. That is, we haven't heard of a
larger one.
She is a colored woman, is forty-seven
years old, the mother Of eight children,
and lives on the Dick johnson planta-
ton. near Grovania. Her name is Anroe
Brown.
From actual test of weights and mea-
surss, the following figures we're OBJ
tanned by a party of gentlemen who saw
her last Sunday.
Her weight is 500 pounds. She is five
feet eight inches il height; seven feet
two inches in her circumference around
the body; six feet four inches around the
waist, and thirty inches around the arm
near the shoulder. One man was unequal
to the task of measuring her. She came
remarkably near be. as broad as she Is
long. 1t is said she ills completely the
body Of a one horse wagon, and is full
load for one horse to pull.
Within the last twelve months she has
gained about 100 pounds in weight

FEEDING VALUE OF srLAeE.

Professor Woll found that sixty per
cent. of dried corn-fodder was digestible,
and sixty-three per cent. of silage. His
method Of leaving the corn in the field
one month and then storing it loosely in
the barn is objectionable. 1t should be
compacted as soon as dry. He says IN
his comments on the feeding value OF
silsge: "The digestible matter Of corn
silace and fodder corn have practically
an equal value for milk production" As
he gives no weights Of the COWS feed, we
do not know how he could securely make
the above assertion. As he is friendly to
the system we assume that the weights OF
the silage.f fed COWS would show no Supe'
riority over the dry fodder-fed cows
Until informed to the contrary, we shall
assume that the silage-fed COWS did not
maintain their weight as well as the
others. as in the case in other trials and
that. therefore, the feeding value OF
silaoe with him was probably not as great
as the dry fodder-fed cows Courier

A Homing-PigeOn Story.

A. P. Baldwin, of Newark, n. j.,
claims to have at home the Arnoux hen
that in October, 1885, was liberated in
Boutte, La, 1850 miles from home. AL
though the proofs are lacking which go
to establish performance and rank 1t
among the records, no one who knows
Mr.. Baldwin's remarkable memory for
birds, coupled with the fact that the
bird in question at once upon its arrival
at the loft took up its old nest-box and
perch, but will in his own mind accept
the return and congratulate the owner.
The bird Arnoux is one OF the most
remarkable birds ever flown to an Amerl-
can loft. 1t was bred in the Baldwin
loft from a bird that in Belgium won two
Government prizes, beside many club
honors, and was only sold upon condition
that il should be taken out Of Belgium.
During the year 1885 this bird Arnoux
returned from Morgantown, N. c., $50
miles; then from Bristol, Tenn, 5lO'
and finally from Pensacola, Fla, lolS
miles, in which journey it had record
for greatest distance for hen pigeon ..
It's journeys were that year, all told 3l5O
miles air line. Less than fortnight
after its return home it was sent to the
care Of Sergeant Hermann, Signal OBJ
server of the New Orleans Station, and by
him forwarded to Boutte, La, where 1t
was liberated at 1886 A. NJ, October 49,

The Birth Rate of France.

The decrease in the birth rate OF France.
with its effect on the future population oil
that country, has long been subject Oh
debate among its public men. Statistics
hove shown that this decrease has been
ooinp on fer years. 1t now turns out thaV
Fnoi9nd and Wales are in similar con-
dition. The returns of the Registrar
G-eral for England and Wales show
that the excess Of births over deaths has
been steadily declining for several years.
In 1899 the excess was 367, PA, whlle'
according to the results OF the last TWO
c,nsus years. the increase should have
been $50, 423. The birth rate was also
remarkably low, being % per thousand
below the average of the previous de-
cade. while the marriage rate has nov
corresronded to the increased prosperity
of the country. These statistics, with
.-e large emigration, show, in the opln-
ion of the New York News, that IN time
there will cease to be an increase IN the
population of Great Britain, providing
line ratio Of decrease in birth continues.

FARM ANs HeUsEHsLD.
THE STOLEN NEST.

Nearly every farmer in experience
with poultry can recite the fact of hen
going away to the woods and stealing ner
nest. to return, latter many days, with
q BIG brood of chickens. There IS no
question about it, hens running at large
show greater fertility in the eggs, and
the chicks are more vigorous in conse-
ouence of the concealed nest under the
bushes. Exposed for three or four weeks
in the open air, subject to the many
changes of climate, and warmed up every
time the hen adds another egg to the lot
with all these changes, strange to say,
nearly every one Of these eggs produces
a healthy and vigorous chick. 1t be-
comes a question whether we are using
tue best method when we carefully collect
them every day and put them one end
upward in a partitiOned box or in bran.

tismal fontiu the old meeting house at Som
erville and assumed vows on my behalf,
must tell YOU now of another mode OF bap-
tism observed in the river Jordan on that
afternoon in last December, the particulars
of which now for the first time relate.
IL was a scene OF unimaginable solemnity..
A comrade in our Holy Land journey rode
up by my side that day and told me that
Young man who is now studying for the
Gospel ministry would like to be baptized by
ma in the river Jordan. | got all the facts
Icould concerning his earnestness and faith,
and through personal examination made my
self confident he was a worthy candidate
There were among our Arab attendants two
robes not unlike those used for American
baptistries, and these were obtained. As
we we're to have large group OF different
nationalities present / dictated TO my
DAUGHTER a few verses and had copies
enough made TO allow all 10 sing.
Our dragoman had man familiar WIN
the river wade through and across to SHOW
the depth and the swiftness OF tue
stream and the most appropriate place LOT
the ceremony. Then read from the Bible
fine accounts of baptisms in that sacred
stream. and implorei the presence OF the
Christ on whose head the dove descended
at the Jordan. Then as the candidate and
myself stepped into the waters the people
on the banks sang in full and resoundinS
voice
On Jordon's stormy banks stand
And cast wishfu eye
To Canaans fair and happy lane,
Where my possessions lie.
Oh the tran sporting. rapturous scene
That rises to my sight;
Sweet fields arrayed In living green
And rivers Of delight.
By this time we had reached the middle OF
the river. As the candidate sank under tne
floods ambrose again under a baptism IN the
name of the Father, and the Son, and the
HOLY Ghost. there rushed through our souls
tide of holy emotion such as we shall not
probably feel again until we step into tne
Jordan that divides earth from heaven. III

CHRONIC FOUNDER IN HORSES.

Chronic founder in horses is otherwise
known as fever in the feet or laminitis,
aud consists in severe Inflammation OF the
lamino. or the connective tissue between
the wall sole aud tendons Of the foot.
The symptoms are soreness Of the feet
aud consequent lameness, and in severe
cases the genera health Of the animal IS
affected, high fever, hard pulse, and
rapid breathing with distended nostrils
being the common symptoms. In such a
case relief is quickly afforded by use ola
hot foot bath, and a dose of thirty drops
Of aconite in water, followed soon after
BY one pound of EPSON salts, and apph-
cation of hot linseed meal poultices to
the feet. In milder cases, when lame
ness or tenderness Of the feet is the most
serious symptom, the treatment should
be to relieve any Inflammation by poul-
tees, and then to use broad-bar shoe
with thick leather sole under it and
made heavy at the heel, and the hoof
should be dressed daily with glycerine
and tar mixed. A horse in this cOndi-
ton should be fed on bran and linseed
meal, with cut hay and oats stepped in
bot water, but should have no corn.
Moderate work will not hurt him. Plank
floors frequently contribute to this con-
dition OF the feet, and horse with this
trouble should stand with his fore feet
in wet clay when in the stable--Ns't
