FARM NOTES.
Cooked Food for hogs.

1t may be an open question whether it
will pay all farmers to feed cooked food
to their hogs, but there is 10 doubt but
what cooked food will make more flesh
than uncooked, because q larger proper
ton will be digested and assimilated.

Value of the Breed.

The real value of breed il the produc
ton of eggs or meat, and the greater the
reputation of breed as layer or market
fowl the greater the demand for it by
the peonle. The measure Of weight Or
production rests with the breeder who
builds year by year to improve.

What Makes US Wise

It's not the food we swallow that does
us good, but that which we digest and as
simulate. Just so it is not what we see
and hear, what we read and recite that
which we retain and incorporate in mind,

Other people have their faults,
And so have you as we'll;
But all We chance to see or hear
Ye have no right 10 tell.
If ye cannot speak o good,
Take care, and see and feel
Earth las too much o woe,
And not enough O. veal.
Be careful thatye make nae strife,
Wi medling tongue and brain;
For We will find enough to do
If We but look at hame.
If We cannot speak O good,
Oh dinna speak 1T all;
For there is grief and woe enough
On this terrestrial ball.
If ye should feel like picking flaws,
We better go, | ween,
And read the Book that tell We ali
About the moat and beam
Dinna lend a ready ear
To gossip or TO strife,
Or perhaps twill make for We

Oh, dinna add TO others woe,
Nor mock it with your mirth;
But give ye kindly sympathy
To suffering ones of earth.

IT WAS A FARCE.
Wretched Game Of Ball in This City
Yesterday.


Yesterday afternoon there was adver-
tised to be base ball game on the Dexter
street grounds, but 1t proved to be farce.
There was small crowd present.
II was fair game up to the fourth in
ming, when Umpire Cray, by a couple Of
bad decisions, robbed the home team of at
least two runs and then the nine went to
pieces.
After that the spectators were interested
only to see how bad the Pawtuckets
could get beaten. Their batting was weak
and their fielding weaker. They seemed
to have forgotten all they ever knew about
base ball.
Burke tried to pitch but was wilder
than March hare, and when he did put
a ball near the plate 1t went out Of sight.
After the game Constable Mat Curran
attempted To arrest Connaughton and
Lynch for debt. "Conny" got away, but
Lynch had to settle. The bill was $3.50
and was for board due w. ii. Gurney.
The score by innings.

Sentence of Gentleman George" is
Deferred on Exceptions.

II was an all-day jury in the "Gentle-

and calm the alleged burglar Of many
States sat and smiled as the hours were
feeting.

been fought in all its various stages with
such an unerring regard for detail by an
accused mans attorneys.
The jury went out at II o'clock, and it
stayed.
was having its long siege in the smallest
of the jury rooms, without food, party
of Boston ladies' and gentlemen called up
on the Attorney General and asked per-
mission to see Eliwood. In this party
were Mrs. James Houston and Mr.. Will
liam Houston, her son, who reside in Rox-
bury district.
On the first day of last September the
Houstons stated their house was robbed
and the different persons therein made to
keep quiet while the burglar went through
the different rooms in a search OF plunder.
The burglar on that occasion carried off
about $500 in money and valuables and no
trace was left behind.
When the Houstons looked into ELL
woods face they exclaimed at once
that he looked like the man who bur
glsrized their house on the night OF Sep
tember /.
The crowd waited with great patience,
and very few people who have attended
the trial from It's beginning left the room
at all even to get lunch at the noon hour.
Ladies who have had choice seats also held
on to them, and the absence OF the five
judges from their seats caused the specta-
gathering, and everywhere there con-
tinued the buzz of animated conversation.
Along toward evening the beds In the
all-night jury room were prepared and
everything was made in readiness for
keeping the good men and true locked
up. Then the suppers were sent in, and
after the brief rattling Of dishes had
ceased the jury became quiet again, and
they were said to stand 10 to against
Ellwood.
The prisoner was taken back to his cell,
and it vas given out that there was no
show for an agreement and therefore the
judges would not listen to any kind OF
disagreement last night.
1t was o'clock before there was any
noticeable diminution In the attendance in
the court room.
Everybody conceded that the jury
would never agree.
This morning, contrary to all expecta-
tions, the jury came in with a verdict of
guilty. Sentence was deferred.
