How Rsnnet is Prepared.

Renuet is the dried stomach of milk
fed calf. The stomach used is that in
which the milk is found. 1t is emptied
of the milk and filed with salt and
hung up for week, when the salt Is
shaken out and it is stretched over a
bent twig to keep it spread. 1t is then
hung up to dry, aud should be kept in
paper bag to preserve it from the flies
and beetles that might spoil it. For use,
a piece two inches square is taken for
100 pounds of milk aud stepped in warm
water for a few hours, a handful of salt
being added. Or the stomachs may be
stepped ia brine after being salted, and
after some days sleeping the liquid is
strained off and bottled for use.-New
York Times.

II recent statistics as to the con-
dition of agriculture in the arid States
and Territories, aud particularly as to
practical results of irrigation, are to be
dcpended upon, remarks Frank Leslie's
Weekly, we may expect that the move
.nert in favor of the National policy of
Irrigation will be materially strength
ened. The report submitted to the
census office shows that nearly thirty
Billion dollars of capital is invested in
Productive irrigation, aud that the re-
turns have been over sixty-five millions
of dollars, OF about 2lS per cent. The
estimated value on June lst, 1890, OF
irrigated farms which originally cost
va, 500, 900 was nearly S297 900, 900.
lhat is to say, the irrigated lands are
worth now four times their original cost.
fhtr1 Is a vast expense of territory now
comparatively useless, owing to its arid
rendition, which, with the introduction
81 irriaating methods, could be made
fertile and productive, and it is becom-
,no question whether Government aid
nav not properly be given in further
,nce Of system which has proved, ac-
ording to the statistics given, so i'm
ssnsely beneficial.

The Chinaman's "YellOw Oath. "

One of the strangest judicial proceed.
ings, perhaps, ever witnessed is that of
the Chinaman taking what he is pleased
TO call the "yellow OATH" The "oath,"
Or declaration, is always written on a
piece of "sacred" paper and is as fol-
lows:
This is to call the spirits, both good
and evil, to descend and watch over the
trial of - -, who is charged with muir
dering If swear falsely and tell
one untruth, or do not make statements
according to the facts in the case, l
humbly beg the celestial terrestrial spirits
to redress the wrong done to - and
to punish me Immediately for having
been false witGess; TO arrest my soul
in its flight; to make me perish by the
sword, or to cause me to die while on
the sea far from home. This is my true
and solemn oath, uttered by my own
lips, and signed by me This, the - day
of the - month in the - year of the
reign of the Emperor -; and in
proof of the earnestness Of my declara.
tious, may my soul be destroyed as l
now destroy this paper, by fire" In
mediately after the witness finishes read
ing his "yellow oath" lighted candle
is handed to him and the paper is given
as food for the flames. To the writer's
certain knowledge this form of oath has
been administered but once IN au Ameri-
can court of justice-during the trial of
Wong All Foo, who was accused of
numbering Loi All Gou at San Francisco
in 1885. In China the candle used in
this extraordinary ceremonial is made
from the fat of criminals who haze un-
dergone the death penalty. st. Louis

BEYOND TIE ALPS LIES ITALY,

A fresh memorial to vanished youth,
The sweet girl graduate, with flower face,
Her eyes so full of trust, her heart Of truth,
Looking DER all the world TO find her
place,
Her theme holds weighty words, and
thoughts so staid,
A travesty on life in phrase austere;
But youthful confidence is unsfraid,
And gladness vibrates in the tones so
clear:
beyond the Alps lies ItalyP
The Joy Of triumph, and of proud applause,
Sweet floral offerings, the music's stir
Fair, sunny slope of youth Oh, let us pause,
And linger in this girlhood's glade with
her,
Ere yet she climbs those rugged sleeps Of
life,
Where womanhood with all its mystery
lies.
Remember, ere you go to meet its strife,
o, maiden innocent grown strangely
wise,-
Beyond the Alps lies Italyp
The essay soon will yellow grow with time,
The years will string their rosary Of tears,
Weary and footsore, we the hills must climb,
And stumble o'er the stones of cares and
fears,
The msts of doubt will all the landscape
veil,
The summit lies so very far awoy;
The feet may falter and the courage fail,
The stern pale lips will quiver, then, to
say;
beyond the Alps lies ItalyP
o, when the hands that helpel you up the
slope
Shall loose the clasp we cannot always
keep;
When in the night of pain you upward
grope-
Blinded by tears, with tagging footsteps
Greer;
Then let your girlhoods maxim cheer your
heart
A peal of joy through all lifes sad realm
Though here we love and lose, and meet AMI
part,
There is a height where pleasure conquers
pain
beyond the Alps lies Italyp

A French paper tells of new process
OF tanning by electricity, which, it says,
is being used on the skins of stray dogs
gathered into the Paris pound. The
electric system, it is alleged, transforms
the skin into leather in three or four
days, against the six or eight months
required in the ordinary way. 1t is
chiefly used for ladies' fine shoes, aud is
notable for soft aud delicate qualities.

A savant attempts to demonstrate, in
one OF our scientific magazines, that there
IS likely to be a scarcity of elbow room
among the earth's population in the
reasonably near future. lie estimates
the present population of the world at
something less than one and a hall bill
lion. The natural increase, he con-
cludes, will make the figure six billion
two hundred years hence, aud this, he
declares, is the utmost limit of the
earth's capacity for sustaining human
life. The trouble with all these elabo-
rate estimates and deductions, maintains
the New York News, is that they are
based upon the hypothesis that man must
always live as he lives to-day. Con-
ditions will change as necessity crowds
population. Half the people of the earth
now rarely, il ever, taste meat. Tine
dense populations of China, India, and
some other countries live almost wholly

STILL COMING.


The people of Lexington and Lafayette
county are interested in the proposed ex-
tension of the Santa Fe system through
this city to st. Louis, and are glad to see
indications OF contamination of this de-
sire. The INTELLIaENcER, though alone
in the task, 50 far as Lexington news
papers are concerned, and the only one ut
all interested in the city's growth, is equal
to he emergency, and keeps the people
of city and county well informed. Both
its projects, the extension OF the Santa Fe
and the completion of the Missouri Pacif-
les ''river route" are practically certain,
To make the report concerning the Santa
Fe all the more certain, it is announced
that that company has just decided to
purchase 4,272 cars and thirty engines
these making a total equipment of 1,42t
ears and several hundred engines. Some
of these will no doubt be soon crossing
the river at this place on the Santa Fe
bridge.

THE GRAND JURY.
The Judge I%mstructs to Inquire IntC
the Recent HangingS by Mob.

When the names of the grand jurors
were called Monday, that of Hermann
Wahl received no response, and, after
waiting a proper length OF time, Mr..
Wahl's place was filled by the summons
OF John p. Ardinger. The following gen
tlemen constitute the grand jury:
John S. White, Geo. w. Hutchinson,
William Il. Layne, J. T.. Rigg,
+. &. Barnes, III. c. Bruins,
Louis Mehl, Chalmers Young,
William Silver, G.. Barnett, Jr.,
+. II. Strother, John L. Ardinger.
Captain White was made the foreman.
Judge Ryland, in his charge, dwelt at some
length upon the two cases of mob execu-
ton in the county during the last two
years, and urged the grand jury to leave
nothing undone to bring the perpetrators
to Justice. Some OF the men constituting
the mob could be found, he had no doubt,
and this grand jury should not slight the
matter because its predecessor had. He
called the attention of the body to the
violations of the Sunday law every week
In this city. Drug stores, clothing stores
and barber shops were kept open contrary
to the statute, and On the last Sunday of
all he had seen II man pass along the
street carrying upon his shoulder a whole
key of beer. If a farmer came to town
and wanted n clean collar, he should not
buy it on Sunday. He should either get
a clean one on Saturday or wear the dirty
one. Ii the grand jury ignore the small
crimes, men will be tempted to commit
larger ones, and in the eyes Of the law ii
was just as much a crime to sell clothing
and cigars and shave a man on Sunday as
to steal. The judge believed that a rigid
enforcement of the law would make grand
juries and criminal courts unnecessary,
and urged this jury to do its utmost to
bring about this state of affairs.
The charge was one OF the most earnest
and sweeping Judge Ryland has ever de-
liyered from the bench of the Lafayette
county court, and no doubt tended to
greatly stimulate the activity of the grand
jury.

BIBLE SOCIETY.
Fiity-SerOnd Annual Meeting-OfficerS
Chosen-DepOsitary DiscOn-
tinued.

The Lafayetse County Bible Society held
its fifty-second annual meeting at the
Christian church, on Sunday evening,
March 6, 1892. In the absence of the
president, Rev. w. j. Carpenter, the vice
president, presided. After the usual re-
ligious exercises, the society was called to
order. The minutes of the last annual
meeting, and of the meetings Of the exc
cutive committee, were read and approved.
BY the tr~easurer's report it appeared that
the society has during the year raised
S109.99 of which $50 was donated to the
American Bible Society to constitute Rev.
John Phetzing and Granville Clayton life
members thereof. By the depositary's re-
port it appeared that only S1.O5 of Bibles
had been sold during the year. The exc
cutive committee has determined to dis
continue the depository altogether.
By request, DR.. T.. c. Gordon delivered
a very instructive address on the Bible,
it's history, its remarkable preservation
and inestimable worth, and urged the
audience, most of whom were young peo-
pie to study it and to regard it as the re-
vealed word OF God to man. After the
address the officers proceeded to take up a
collection for the benefit of the society,
which amounted to the sum OF S10.75
which was a very liberal sum considering
the small audience, occasioned by the
rainy evening.
The following officers were then elected
for the ensuing year:
John f.. Ryland, president.
Rev. f.. G. Gordon, vice-president.
Il. NJ. Taubman, secretary.
u. q. Phet2ing, treasurer.
u. q. Phet2ing, German Methods

church; j. u. Shelby, Christian church
n. A. Catron, NJ. T.. church, South; NJ. Il
Royle, Baptist church, and Thomas p
Paxton, Episcopal church, executive com
mittee.
The society then adjourned, subject t.
the call Of the executive committee, will

with which he decided the numerous
questions presented to him. 1t Is a pleas
ure to transact business in such a court
Judge Richard Field is now approaching
the end of his first term. He has q repu-
tation for ability equal to that of any cir
cult Judge in the state. He has performed
the arduous duties of a trial Judge with
satisfaction to his constituents, and his
decisions have generally been sustained
by the higher courts. The lawyers say
that he is accommodating, fair and i'm
partial, and has no court favorites at the
bar. / believe it is the prevailing senti-
ment OF this circuit that Judge Field
should be his own successor.
