BURIED ALIVE

In Paris. they estimate every
thing. For the last ten years, the
average of those who were buried
alive. known to have been so, will
amount to about forty per annum.
That is, four hundred persons were
buried alive and in some cases,
perhaps murdered. These are
only the number found out. How
many went that way and no one
knows. A Spaniard employed in
an undertaking shop used to drive
a stilleto through the heart every
time before burial-a mercy. 1t
is common practice to disjoint the
knees and elbows if the box is too
small. The utter recklessness
and haste with which a helpless
body that looks like death, is done
for, deserves the utmost repro
baton.
There ought to be some law
that no body, unless from some in
fectious disease, should be buried
until decomposition has set in,
and still less should the poisonous
embalming fluid or the autopsy
knife be used. 1t is horrible and
yet it is far more frequent than
dreamt of. There are many con-
ditions that ape death, some so
disguised that the best physician
couldn't tell.
Science is moving in this line
and the thread is so fine that hui
man eye can't always see it, even
with a microscope. Somebody
wants to invent a coffin that will
announce the fact if the, tenant
wakes up ''all unbeknownst to him.

telegraphic reports conveyed the
erroneous impression that the COM
promise worlds fair appropriation
bill finall y adopted made a direct
appropriation from the treasury of
$2.500,OOO, without the souvenir

scheme is retained and Sunday
closing is also made a condition
of the appropriation. Where the
bill differs from the one which orig
inlly passed the senate IS in cutting
down the sum one-half and making
a clear gift of the money to the fair
stockholders. The senate bill pro-
vided that the United States should

position in proportion to its invest

fcult to understand what was

SHEEP SCAB.
The Rigid Laws That Have Destroyed
1t in Australia.

The Rigid Laws That Have Destroyed
It in Australia.
By. latest reports there is not dis
eased sheep to be found in the vast pro-
vinces of Victoria or New South Wales.
thanks to stringent and strictly enforced
laws. AS soon as it was settled that
Australia was adapted to sheep raising
and the growth of the finest wool in the
world, those engaged in the business set
themselves to work to fix rules and
regulations by which they should be
governed and protected in their indus
try. Laws for eradicating 'scab" were
secured without difficulty.
The prevailing public sentiment that
demanded and secured the passage of
these stringent laws stood behind the
officers charged with their enforcement
and compelled them to perform their
duty. Infected focks not promptly iso-
lated and treated by their owners were
taken possession of by officials, appraised
and slaughtered, and their carcasses
piled up and burned, together with the
buildings and fences with which they
had been in contact. In such instances
three-fourths Of the estimated value of
the stock was made good to the owner
from the public treasury. To meet this
expenditure tax was laid against each
flock owner according to the number of
sheep he possessed. This rigorous pol
icy had the desired effect.
In few years scab disappeared ants
the success Of sheep husbandry was as
sured. These measures were supple
mented by stringent laws against the
introduction of sheep from foreign coun-
tries; even those transferred from one
colony to another were subjected to
quarantine and were dipped before be-
ing released; indeed, all had and still
have to undergo rigorous quarantine
for six weeks previous to their removal.
Under the inspector all sheep have to
be dipped whether infected or not; by
this means the disease is kept perfectly
under control.
Why have we no such laws in Ameri-
ca? If there are, what is the use of them
if they are never enforced? Examine
our sheep pens in connection with our
great stock yards; they actually reek
with the disease, the miserable sheep
disseminating scab wherever they go,
yet there Is no hand to stay Its ravages.
Shearing only takes place once year
in Australia, and Immediately after
shearing every sheep is required by law
to be dipped in solution of tobacco and
sulphur. The proportions are one pound
of each to four gallons of water.
The sheep inspectors see that all own
ers obey this law strictly, and if they
find that through neglect the sheep Of
any owner are becoming diseased they
may by law have them cared for and
charged to the owner. In addition to
the above the law provides that if the
sheep of one owner, being diseased, get
among and disease those of another the
former is liable to damages. AS might
be expected under the influence of such
sanitary and police laws sheep husbandry
is placed upon a safe, permanent and
profitable basis.-William Watson in
Breeders Gazette.

IT annually costs the United
States $14O,OOO,OC0 for the main
tenance of its common schools.
More than 80 per cent. Of the pu-
pills are absent On every schoolday
of the year,and of these the larger
proportion is composed of farmers
children, whose absence is due to
the impossible condition of the
country roads. Again, it may 'be
elsily computed that if the 16,000,-
900 farm horses and mules above
the age of two years are kept in
their stables in a condition of en-
forced idleness, by the deep mud
of spring and fall for period aver
aging twenty days each year, the
annual loss will amount to $50,
100000, sum sufficient to build
10000 miles of excellent Telford
or macadam highway. The En-
gineering Magazine for June cites
a com municatfon from farmer in
Union county N. j., who owned
1913 acres which he had valued a
few years ago at from $50 to $75 an
acre, but was unable to sell at that
price. The farm was improbable
because bad roads made it expen-
sive to get its produce to market,
and the profits did not represent a
fair rate of interest on the esti-
mated value of the land. The road
improvement craze struck Union
county, and about sixty miles of
good Telford highways were put
down, and the result to this New
Jersey farmer was that he has
since refused 5000 an acre for his
farm.

FRACTIONAL VOTES.

The appearance of fractional votes
i'll national conventions is by no
means a new thing. There were
i'll the Minneapolis convention
number of contested delegations,
especially from the southern s ates
In many instances each delegation
had been chosen more or less reg
ulally by the state committee or a
fraction of the state committee
1t was plainly impossible for the
convention to waste the time of al!
the other members by discussing
the question of the selection Of
this man or that from some small
district, as in Alabama or Louis
lana, and in these cases the plan was
adopted to admit both the delega-
tions, allowing the members half a
vote apiece. This year, also, in
the case of the territories of Ari-
zona and New Mexico, which had
been admitted by bill which had
passed the house but not the SEN
ate, the delegations were admitted
with fractional votes. That from
New Mexico, for instance, having
six delegates, was taken in, allow
ing the six delegates two votes, OF
one third of a vote apiece. This
plan OF admitting contested dele.
cations with fractional votes has
ben adopted in national conven.
tions for some time, and the terri
torial delegations from Dakota
were admitted into the republican
convention in 1888 with partial
votes.

ITALIANS HEAD THE LIST.

Colonel Farrell, an official of the
immigration bureau in New York,
has made close study OF the i'm
migration question in all its phases,
not only because it is his business
but for the reason that he is a
humanitarian. In speaking of the
immigration to a New York Press
reporter, he said: "The immigra-
tion of this year will be greatly in
excess of 1891, when 445, 300 aliens
were landed in this port. From
present indications it is safe to sur
mise that 100000 passengers will
be received this year, notwith-
standing that most careful exam
ination is made of every passenger
before landing. A feature of i'm
migration is the extraordinary di-
versity of the characteristics of
those coming to these shores.
This year almost every section aud
every religion of the habitable
globe is represented, bringing with
them the habits and customs of
their native homes.
Il have been looking into the
amount of money brought here by
all classes of immigrants, and l
find that the average per capita of
the Italians over 20 years of age is
$o6.51. Hungarians are the next
on the list, the per capita being
$95.91. The Poles per capita is
$11.70; Finlander's, $12.23; Irish,
1862; Australians, $tS.O5; Aus
trian's, $1S.06, Norwegian's, $19.2S;
Swede's, $22.32; Bohemian's,
$16.o2; Turks, $26.O4; Nederland
er's, $26.67; Russians, $2S.38;
English, $2s.6O; Scotch, $2s.9S;
Danes, $29.23; Belgian's, 1904;
Armenian's, $32.O1; Germans,
$35.46; Swiss, $37.7s; Welsh,
$40.9l; Greeks, $44.O6; Spaniard's
$76.21, and French, $7S.23. The
per capita of other countries is
$33.45. The general impression is
that all immigrants who come to
the United States are very poor,
yet some Of those who seek Amer
ian shores carry 'wads' which
would make the mouths Of many
Wall street brokers water at sight. |

old man, dressed so poorly that it

Duroc-Jersey Swine.

The growing popularity Of the red
hog had its origin and was brought
about by the intelligent effort of Will
liam Holmes & Son, who had become
firmly convinced of the superiority of
the breed and established registry as
sociation for it. Mr.. Harris Haviland
made his first purchase Of them about
ten years ago, and after repeated trials
of other breeds still prefers them, be-
cause "they combine more good quail
ties requisite for profitable pig raising
than any other breed"
"To what do you referf' said l.
'They are unusually prolific, averaging
from ten to eighteen to litter" said he.
$50 many are nuisance, for you have
to feed some of the pigs or they will
die," replied.
"No, for if the mother is fed milk
producing food she will take care of
them until they are big enough to eat
out of the trough, for their most note
worthy characteristic is their ability to
convert food into flesh. They fatten at
any age and are easily kept clean, not
being inclined to scurvy."
Mr.. Haviland has dressed pigs that
weighed 346 pounds at months, and 2
year-old hogs weighing from 500 to 656
pounds each. The Michigan Experiment
station, in The Jersey Bulletin for 1890,
