New Use For Spring Chickens.


Should the little daughter of Mr.. Ca
lissi ever recover she owes her life to an
Italian violinist in the city. Suffering
as she is with brain fever and the doc
tors giving up all hope of her recovery,
this morning she spoke the first word
and ate the first morsel she has for sew
eral days. A friend of Mr.. Calissi, an
Italian, visited tho sick child and re-
marked had he known her condition a
day or two ago he could certainly have
saved her. However, he was willing to
try it, and going out he brought in a
number OF spring chickens. Taking a
live chicken he split open it's back with a
knife, opened it wide and placed the in
side of the chicken, entrails, blood and
all, over the child's head. AS soon as
the chicken began to get cold he would
open another and place it on in the same
manner.
About the time the second chicken be-
gan to cool the child spoke, and after
ward asked for something to eat. So
far % chickens have been used, and the
child is doing splendidly. What effect
the warmth Of the chicken and vitals
had upon the child's head the writer can
not tell, but should the child fully re-
cover the Italian professor wants the
credit. He says he saved his sons life in
to use 4S spring chickens. He prefers
rabbits when he can get them in his
treatment nt.-Paducah News.

Working q Neat Trick.

. II saw funny thing out in Chicago
while on recent trip to the Worlds
fair" said a gentleman from West Vir.
ginia. II was in the lobby of the Palm.
er House one evening talking with Colo.
mel Jim Butt, our state commissioner
and several other gentlemen. Against
one of the gilded pillars near us leaned
forlorn looking wretch in seedy garb
who every now and then gave vent to a
consumptive cough that seemed to cause
him intense pain. Suddenly he fell in a
heap to the floor, apparently with great
force, and in a minute crowd was
around him-a sympathizing crowd too.
One fellow, who was the most officious
in rubbing the unfortunates head with
some kind of liquid to restore him tc
consciousness, said:
Gentlemen, I tell you what ails this
man. It's nothing more or less than
starvation. He hasn't had a mouthfu]
to eat in 4S hours. All he wants to bring
him around all right is a good beefsteal
and some hot rolls
If that's what ails him. said Colonel
Butt, he needn't suffer any longer And
he pulled out a S. note and handed it tc
the Samaritan, who had gradually rubbed
his pal back to life. Then the pair am.
bled off arm in arm to play the trick in
some other hotel, but they must have
gone at least a block before it dawned
on Butt that he had been victimized.'-

Gallagher Retracts His Story Of tho
Homestead Poisoning.
P1rrsBURG, July 21.-At $40 p. m.
Patrick Gallagher, the confessor, re-
quested the presence of Warden
Wright in his cell in the penitentiary.
Warden Wright responded at once.
Gallagher said:
'Warden, I have been in HI all
night and wish to say to you now that
the confession made by me was all a
Matched up scheme and that was
dragged into it. wish now to retract
everything that was said in that confess
slonand wish thatyou would sendfor the

Warden Wright Immediately notified
District Attorney Bartlett and Attor-
ney Burleigh by telephone and they
hurried to the penitentiary with all
haste. After a 3-hours' talk with Gal
lagher, District Attorney Burleigh
came out and said that Gallagher had
declared under oath that every state
ment he made was absolutely false, and
that ne, Dempsey, Beatty and David
son are guilty as indicted. He broke
down and cried like a child. Warden
Wright said that Gallagher had a
bundle OF manuscript which he took as
the foundation of his little speech,
which was prepared for him on the

Mrs. St0nfOrd'S Duty.

The end has come, and to Mrs. Stan
ford falls the melancholy duty of carry
ing out a great educational scheme such
as the world as never seen. That this
scheme should originate in California
seems in keeping with q state which is
itself an empire, self feeding in almost
every particular, as great in beauty and
wonders as in size and natural products.
Fortunately for the university, Mrs.
Stanford was essentially her husbands
helpmeet. She shared his sorrows no
less than his joys. She was a coun-
selor and friend to whom he confded
all his enterprises. Rising above per-
sonal loss therefore, Mrs. Stanford can
take her place at the helm and steer a
magnificent idea into the safe harbor
Of accomplished fact. Hers is glorious
task, in the doing of which there will be
infinite comfort. Husband and son have
only gone before. and spiritual help will
come to her who humbly bears her cross
and dedicates her life to the advance
ment of humanity.-Kate Fields Wash

Exploring Labrador.

Two members of the geological survey
of Canada have started on one Of the
longest surveys ever undertaken into
what is now generally supposed to be the
wild, inhospitable territory in the fa1
north and eastern Canada, known as the
Labrador peninsula. The expedition will
be absent from civilization for nearly
two years, and before it returns hopes to
have solved the enigmas of the interior
of Labrador, concerning which such fab
ulous tales have been told. IF it accom-
plishes this, the expedition will be val
liable contribution to the worlds fund of
geological information, and whether full
ly successful or not should bring back
much important knowledge from that
unknown count try.-St. Johnsbury (Vt.)

ADVICE TO FARMERS.

journal of Agriculture Predicts
Higher Prices For Wheat.
ST.. LOUIS, July 81. The Journal of
Agriculture of this city, treating edi-
torially of the condition of the present
wheat crop and the probable advance
in prices, says the best American and
European authorities agree that the
worlds deficiency will be at least 100,-
900, 600 bushels. The most reliable fig
ures now place the total American crop
OF 1898 at about 1888, 100000 bushels,
which, added to the surplus carried
over, will make less than $50, 900, 600
bushels. England will want probably
250, 900 bushels, and the home trade
needs 0,000,0 900 bushels. The Journal
believes that in view of the fact that
the American crop is 100, 900, 900 bushels
short as compared with last year and as
Europe with short crop is grabbing
up American wheat as fast as she can
without attracting too much attention,
the time has come when American
farmers should not sell bushel of
wheat at present prices. For granting,
it says, that prices do not advance, it
will pay much better to feed to stock
than to sell at present figures.
