"Expertr Testimony.

Buchanan, the New York wife poi
soner, who was recently convicted, may
get a new trial on peculiar grounds
expert" physicians have testified that
one Of the jurors was mentally unfit to
perform such duty that he is victim
of epilepsy and paress. These tex
perts" are opposed by an array OF other
equally able experts" who claim that
the juror is mentally sound, The queer
part ofthe businessis that the experts"
who make oath that the juror is lin,
sane do not know the man and say they
form their opinions from what they are
told by others,
The situation suggests to the public
mind that the "exper" testimony is
outrageously fraudulent on one side or
the other, and that this circumstance
only serves to emphasize what has
grown to be an apparent fact that
expert testimony is being abused
1t figures in every murder trial now
adays, and both sides OF u case have no
difficulty in securing all the expert"
evidence they want, no matter how ir-
reconcilable the respective expert"
views are.
Doctors often disagree, but it is gen.
orally upon technical or immaterlal
points, and docs little harm in the
world. 1t is the "expert" disagreement
in courts OF justice that is SO wide as to
make tho whole matter farcical which
discredits tho medical profession.
1t was in this same Buchanan trial,
we believe, that one distinguished OK.
pert declared a genuine human brain
examined by him to be a very poor lmi-
tation. That doctor was doing his best
for the side OF tho case paying him n
lee. Had he been on the other side he
would doubtless have testified to the
perfection OF the work before him.
1t is no wonder that the medical So
cieties are taking hold Of the matter
and figuring out a method by which
honest expert.testimony can be secured
in courts OF justice. Tho professional
expert" who is willing to either swear
away the life OF man or to save him,
as his sympathles or his fees may de-
pend, is dangerous man, and the high
and honorable medical profession is do
ing right in frowning him down.

RAISING CALVES.

A calf may be fed skinned milk
when one week old, with the addition
Of one gill of boiled haxseed, increas-
ing the ration gradually to pint per
day when four weeks, and then adding
five middlings or corn and oats ground
together, or pint to quart Of oats
unground.
Flaxseed cruel with plenty Of
skinned milk will produce a very fine
growth, leaving the calf as mellow to
the touch as if sucking the COW.
A calf two months old will gain three
pounds per day on this ration. The
oil taken off in the cream can be re-
placed for one-ffth the money value
of the cream.
Butter dairymen may raise calf to
each COW upon the skinned milk and
q little additional food, such as indi-
Gated, and get one-fourth to one-third
as much profit out of the refuse milk
as ont of the butter.
Selling butter robs the land of
nothing valuable, only carbon, which
has no manurial value.
The farmer who thinks he can afford
TO give up growing stock is pretty
sure to find out his mistake sooner or
later
The pastures must be utilized and
the fertility of the farm maintained
and stock is the best means Tor accom-
plishing this end, even if you see no
great profit in the animals themselves.
The crops of grass and forage should
be fed on the farm. New England

Wages Of NeedIewomen in Paris.

wages or NeeuleWOnen III Idris'
An INQUIRY recently made into the
condition OF needlewOmen in Paris
shows that wOrkingwOman cannot
count or earning more than l,3.0f.,
or s44, a year, which is about IS. Id.
a day. The designers and cutters.
out Of patterns and the filters, OF
course, are much more highly paid,
receiving in some cases salaries OF
5000 to $500, and perhaps even
share OF the profits. The average
earnings OF the ordinary seamstress
may be put down at a little over IS
a day.
NJ. Jules Simon in 1851 made an in
quiry into the matter, dealing with
lO1. 900 cases, and he calculated the
average daily wages as about led.
There were among the women con-
cerned about zoe earning less than
cd. day, and abCnt 500 whose TAX
ings we're about 81. Ten years ago
the average earnings Of millions we're
valued by NJ d'HaussOnyille at over
81. a day, and those Of ordinary seam
stresses at between 2!f and 81.
II all trades were taken into &C
count the result was little lower as
some trades were cruelty undergrad,
especially sack making, at which more
than sd. day could not be earned

Slavery in Siam.

Slavery has been abolished in name,
but it can never by abolished in fact,

without any kind Of trial or permits
sion being necessary.

one Of the ablest and most enlight-
ened OF the Ministers, a man who
has been to Europe and who once

trying to inaugurate sort OF wOm-
ans right movement in Siam. l

fess 10 some misdeed. Contemporary

sUcCULENT FOOD.

The progressive farmer has at last
learned that the nutrition of food
plants, when once dried, can never be
restored to their natural condition by
the artificial addition of water. The
greatest part of green grass and roots
consists of succulent juice. This is
the food of the cows when their milk
flow is greatest and from this the de-
ductiOn is simple that this is the kind
of food that will go directly to pro.
ducing milk, the great object for
which the animals are kept.
When the grass, roots and other sue
culent folders fail ensilage comes in
20 supplement the rest of the food
which must be given under any cir
cumstances. 1t is calculated that
thirty pounds of corn ensilage with a
small amount of bran and clover hay
will make a COW continue her flow of
cream and milk through the winter.
And yet some farmers are still with
out their silos. New York World.

Bamed Energy.

New York Truth relates the follow
ing: "Mr. Cleveland's ruse, in board
ing the Oneida some weeks since to
have an operation performed upon his
jaw, was moro successful, perhaps,
than he himself is aware. The story
has never been told in print, but 1t Is
one of the numerous illustrations Of
baffled energy which go to make up
the history of the production of a
daily newspaper in these days. Mr..
Cleveland had not been on the Oneida
deck two hours before Telegram was
received in this city by the editor of
certain newspaper, which stated that
Mr.. Cleveland had sailed on the yacht
with DIR. Bryant and a New York sur
geon for the purpose of having a can
Ger removed from his mouth. The
telegram further said that the cancer
was similar in position to the one
which killed General Grant and the
one which laid the Emperor Frederick
in his mausoleum at CharlOttenburg.
1t was s o'clock in the evening when
this telegram arrived, and the dispatch
contained the further information that
no other paper could get the news.
Then ensued struggle which would
probably strike the novice in journal
ism as full of importance and fraught
with the gravest results. The CORE
spondents of the paper in Washington
were peppered with kilograms; re-
porters rushed from one end of New
York to the other in the effort to find
out the name Of the surgeon who had
gone on the yacht; personal friends
of the President who were in Newport,
Bar Harbor and Saratoga were called
on by breathless correspondents of the
paper in those places; a tug was sent
out from New Haven at 10 O'Clock at
night to intercept the Oneida, which
it was supposed would pass there at
about that time; scores of men were
at work in every direction on the
rumor, and at 1 o'clock the editor
drove down to his Office to glance over
the kilograms as they came in. There
were dozens of them, and they all told
the same story of futile endeavor The
introduction TO the story was i'll type,
and everything was ready for n ire
mendous sensation. At 100 o'clock
the entire matter was killed, and moth
ing more was said about the promised
feast of sensational news. 1t W.;
nearly two weeks after this when the
facts came out. The President had
taken a dentist with him on the yacht
to pull out one or two troublesome
teeth, and the rumor of his having a
cancer arose from this. "

A TENNYsoN STORY.
Ho Was Not Only Great Poet, but n
Good Business Man.


A capital story, which is quite
authentic, is told about the late
laureate and his wonderful poem,
"The Revenge, says a correspondent
of the Leeds (England) Mercury. 1t
was first published in the Nineteenth
Century in 1878 or 1879. On the
eve OF its publication TennysOn in
yited between thirty and forty Of his
most intimate friends to his home in
Eaton Square, in order that he might
reclte This patriotic piece to them.
1t is well known that Lord TennysOn
was an excellent man OF business.
Had he written Paradise Lost" he
would have been both very hungry
ard very cold before accepting ElO
for the copyright A letter OF his Is
in existence which, after Offering the
right to publish his works at a GER
tain price, ends with a declaration
that, whether the publisher accepts
his offer or not, he lord TennysOn)
would not accept "a blessed penny
less, In fact, he was very much
like a certain Leeds banker who,
when asked by a customer to cash a
draft for a large amount over the
counter replied 1--WE do nothing
for nothing for nobody here" In
Wemyss Reds Life OF Lord HOugh-
ton" there is an amusing letter from
the late laureate which compares the
writing OF poetry for nothing to the
milking OF he goats. When the re-
cital Of THE Revenge" in Eaton
Square took place there was much
lingo feeling about in fashionable
society in London, and not few in
fected persons were among the select
audience. As the poet proceeded in
his rich and sOnOrOus tones, rendered
all the more attractive by his Lin
cOlnshire accent, the favored few
hung upon his words. When he
reached the last lines:
And the whole sea plunged and fell on the
shot shattered navy Of Spain.
Aud the little Revenge herself went down
the island crsgs,
To be lost evermore in the main.
the feelings OF all present were
strung up into excitement and en-
thusiasm; when, to the amazement
Of all, the laureate added, without
the least change in the tone Of his
voice, "And the beggars only gave
me 1900 for it, when it was worth
at least $500 or more"
