Want to Swap wives.

A sensational report comes from Will
liamsburg, Ind, relative to Mr.. Frank
Helms, of that place, and Daniel Smith,
Of Carlos City, Randolph County, agree
Ing to swap wives. The report is that
the Helms were disconsolate because they
had no children and the Smiths because
they were being favored with too many.
By the swap Smiths wife, four children
and small farm were to go to Helms, and
Helms wife and small town property to
Smith. But Justice Rush, of Carlos
City, on whom they depended to satisfy
the law while they were satisfying them
selves, could not ''fnd it in the books"
where the authority for divorce and re-
marriage under such circumstances has
ever been given. Hence he got from un-

Meat Makes Men MIGHTY.

A gentleman who has recently re-
turned from Russia, says the Boston
Courier, relates an incident which, al
though triaing enough in itself, is yet
most pathetically suggestive of the con-
ditiou of the poor in Russia, and of the
state of things which has bred 50 deep
and so widesdread discomfort among the
people.
Being about to leave some station at
which he had been staying for few
days, the gentleman in question called
moozhik-to adopt the spelling of
George Kennan-to strap his trunks
The man was of enormous build, with
every appearance of great strength, while
the traveller is not above medium height,
and while of compact mould is by no
means of muscular appearance.
The trunk wa s rather overfull, and ths
task Of bringing the buckle on the strap
into its place was by no means light
one. The Rus sian tried again aud again,
becoming short Of breath and red in the
face with his efforts, while the American
looked on, at first in impatient silence,
and then with contemptuous reproaches.
At length, losing patience, the traveller
pushed the moozhik aside and with a
single quick effort brought the strap
down and buckled it.
"There," he said, care you not
ashamed, you great big fellow, to be all
this time buDgling over thing that |
can do in minute, and l only up to
your shoulders !"
There was no trace of anger in the re-
Fly;
"Ah, little father, but you have had
meat to eat all your life"

German Newspapers and the Police.

The receipt by the Police Department
of a portrait and circular describing a
suicide in Neufchatel, Switzerland, and
requesting the department to co-operatc
in identifying the deceased, recalls to
mind the fact that for many years it has
been the practice in Germany to publish
in the newspapers the portraits of all
kinds of criminals who have escaped the
police. No sooner has an embezzler de-
camped, a murderer evaded the officers
or burglar escaped arrest than his phys
iognomy adorns a certain corner in des-
ignated daily Or weekly publications.
Appended thereto is a description OF the
general appearance of the malefactor,
statement of his crime and the names OF
the authorities specially interested in cap
turing him. As means of running
down criminals it has proved highly ef-
fective and the Bureau of Information,
whose business it is to accurately de-
scribe these wrong-doers, has in various
parts of the Empire brought the dcscrip
tion down to so fine a point that in many
cases il was the words of the police re-
corder and not the graver Of the artist

prit. Whether or not such system is
admissible under the rules governing po-
lice administration in this country is sub

Sheep husbandrY In Arizona.

The statistical agent for Arizona re-
ports that the climatic conditions for
sheep raising are extremely favorable and
no contagious diseases have been known.
The sheep are principally grazed upon
the public domains for which the herd
ers pay neither rent nor taxes, and the
assessed value of the herds falls far be-
low the actual amount. One popularity
of grazing sheep in Arizona, which may
not apply to the States, is that they are
driven from the elevated plateaux upon
the approach of winter to the valleys in
the southern portion of the Territory,
where they are sheared and returned to
the north in the spring TO feed on new
pastures.
Estimating the climatic, pastoral and
agricultural advantages Of Arizona, with
the present and prospective facilities of
transportation and the remote prospect
of over-production of wool, sheep hus-
bandry may be confidently relied upon IS

Of its class. The fruit is large, fire
ouently five inches in diameter, has a

than the orange, and is found in the

considered superior to the orange. The
hitter membrane that divides the pulp
should be removed before the latter is
eaten, or the pulp should be scooped out
