An Indiana Judss Decides Whit u
Larceny and Whist Il Trsspsss.
"Do you know anything about

drummer to the postal clerk.
"No," replied the innocent
..Well. ignorance OF tie law is nc
| excuse" laughed the drummer; "out
that is not what l am here for.
want to tell you Of fine law point
/ recently saw decided by justice
Of ths peace in Indiana You don't
know, OF course" and the drummer
looked as If he were very sorry for
the clerk, $50 I'll tell you that the
law in Indiana is that il q man steals
fruit from the tree. corn from the
stalk or potatoes from the hill he
can only be held for trespass. but ii
the property becomes detached from
the realty and is then taken, he may
be held for larceny, and larceny is q
serious offense.
The clerk nodded as if he knew
perfectly the difference between
realty and larceny.
..Last week." continued the drum
mer, "I was in that state and one
afternoon l dropped into Justices
court where a man was being ex-
amined for stealing bag OF potatoes.
Tho justice was a new one. the pris-
oner was an old offender, and the
crowd in the room seemed anxious
to sec how the novice was going to
deport himself on his first case.
They also wanted to see the prisoner
get dose that he deserved, for they
had all suffered by him. and not few
bets were laid that the new squire
couldn't do any better with the law
than his predecessors had done 1t
was a clear case against the prisoner.
for the owner of the potatoes had
chased him ouS of the field, seen him
throw the bag over the fence. get
over after it, pickit up and disappear
in the woods adjoining. but could not
capture the thief. as he was old and
lame. The prisoner was smiling. for
the trespass penalty was light and he
had been caught but once"
Come to the point, will you?'
kindly suggested the clerk.
by and BY" responded the drum
mer. 1.-The case being as l have
stated. and the learned justice hav-
ing heard the testimony. to the sur
prise and pleasure OF everybody ex-
cept the thief. held the prisoner for
larceny, for. said he. While it is. tres.
pass to steal potatoes from the hill
it is larceny to steal them when they
are separated from the realty, and
hold that it was -trespass until he
threw them over the fence and sepa
rated them from the realty; ther
when he picked them up again. or
the far side OF the fence, the offense
became larceny. and l shall hold the
prisoner for larceny"
Whether it was good law or not,
concluded the drummer. II am no
here TO say. but it went just the same
and it paralyzed the prisoner"

In Its Infancy.

With all the progress that has
been made, sanguine men Of science
are Of the opinion that the world is
yet on the threshold OF electrical ex-
pertinent. and that with the aid OF
this magical power OF nature results
will be produced surprising what is
now deemed impossible. Every pat
ent that is issued represents new
idea, a new application Of electricity
or a new method for its production.
For every patent that is granted a
dozen are rejected; and each applica-
tion is the result of numerous OK
periments. Thousands are busted in
wrestling the innermost secrets oi
this power, and in finding new ways
of turning them to the uses of man
kind. The age Of steam propulsion.
which was ushered in 100 years ago.
has been followed by the ago of cleo.
tricity. which in less than twenty
years has already accomplished mar
wells. Achievement is SO rapid and
SO continuous in this domain OF hui
man efforts that imagination can
scarcely keep pace with it.

An Ahc.s, In tn. Church.

There is a negro church in Somer-
Vile and some funny things happen
there. It seems that there was a
little recess behind the pulpit which
was used for the pastors dressing
room. One day in a heavy rain the
fresco fell with a crash upon
the floor. Preparations were being
made to repair the damage with the
customary African promptness. The
pastor. however. soon got disgusted,
and one morning. after getting his
feet covered with the dusty mortar,
he ascended the pulpit. Casting
his eye upon the dusky deacons OF
the church he announced with digni-
ty: "Bredren and sistern. it gibs yo'
pastor great pain to call attention
to the state of affairs in dis yere
church. but. bredren, de gospel in
dis yere church must cease to be
dispensed with till de abcess in dc
rear OBJ de puplit am fricasseed."
Tho fresco was put up the next
day.-Boston Budget.

An Umbrella Story.

':Pshaw," said the man from Geor-
gia, sthe snake stories that are going
about are all too thin! Why, just look
here. Last spring l went out into the
woods. l took along an umbrella,
which l laid down on some rocks.
Well, about an hour afterward i went
to get my umbrella, as it had begun to
rain little. l took hold of the ham
die and as l gave it shove something
began to tear and as the umbrella few
open a black snake fell to the ground
split in two from its head to its tail.
The confounded critter had actually
swallowed my umbrella and l never
noticed it until l showed up the thing
and split the cuss open from stem to
stern. ."-Philadelphid Post.

Au,,,..n r,s orowing.

An experiment at tea growing was
made in North Carolina last season.
Tho result was the harvesting OF lou
pounds Of superior leaves. A more
elaborate plantation has been grown
this season, and, from present indica-
tions, the results will show much bet
ter. 1t was grown from seeds obtain
ed from the American consuls in
China. Enough has been accomplish
ed to demonstrate that superior
article can be grown in this country.
The plant is suited to many sections OF
the West, and we hope to see some OF
our irrigation farmers try the business.
Tea plants may be grown either from
seeds or cuttings. Many of the
Chinese varieties and most Of the AS
sam hybrids develop into luxuriant
plants in this country. The yield for
1892, under high cultivation, was
equal to that of the best Indian gar
dens of the same age. The rate of
production of we'll manured garden
of l 800 plants, at six years OF age, is
reckoned at from 250 to 500 pounds.
1t is probable that the profit can never
be of any consequence, except in pick
ing the small, young leaves, used in the
manufacture of high grade teas. This
is prevented by the Asiatic cheap
labor where tea pickers work for from
six to eleven cents per day.
Only the Assam varieties have been
tested at the Pinehurst plantation, but
the Chinese plants will bear this sea-
| son. The outlook is good for at least
l6O acres being planted and first
quality of tea being harvested. But,
its value as a crop for profit remains to
be demonstrated. 1t is thought that
by hiring women and children at very
low wages to pick the leaves, the in
dustry can be made success. This is
| of course not advisable.

THE HIGHEST AWARD.

per cent. above Its Near.
est CompOeitof,

Royal Bakiss Powder Has All the Hon.
ors-In Strength and Value 10
Der cent. above It's Near.
est Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the
enviable record Of having received the
highest award for articles of its class
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly combined-wherever
exhibited in competition with others.
The result at the Chicago World Q
Fair is no exception. In the exhibi-
tions of former years, at the Centen-
nial, at Paris, Vienna and at the
various state and industrial fairs,
where it has been exhibited, judges
have invariably awarded the Royal
Baking Powder the highest bonors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the ex-
aminations for the baking powder
awards were directed by the chief
chemist Of the agricultural department
at Washington. The chief chemists
official report of the tests of the bak-
ing powders, which was made for the
specific purpose of ascertaining which
was the best, shows the leavening
strength of the Royal to be 160 cubic
inches of carbonic gas per ounce
of powder. OF the cream of tartar
baking powders exhibited, the next
highest in strength tested contained
but 1873 cubic inches Of leavening gas.
The other powders gave an average of
Ill. The Royal, therefore, was found
of 20 per cent. greater leavening
strength than its nearest competitor,
and A per cent above the average of
all the other tests. Its superiority in
other respects, however, in the quality
Of the food it makes as to fineness,
delicacy and wholesomeness, could not
be measured by figures.
1t is these high qualities, known
and appreciated by the women of the
country for so many years, that have
caused the sales of the Royal Baking
Powder, as shown by statistics, to ex-
ceed the sale of all other baking pow
ders combined.

oils, Oregon. Tho following new vessels
have been completed, accepted by the govern
mcnt and placed in commission during the

Machias, Detroit, New York, Castine.
A comparl.on, the secretary says, will chow
that the United States now ranks seventh rs
naval power. Ali but two Of the wooden
ships will go out of commission during the
next three years.
Tables arc given showing that twenty-five
vessels hays been completed since 1885, at q

The production Of tnodert high power guns

ment is not surpassed by any In the world,

tho past year In still greater economy in all
branches Of manufacture.

tory has been established on the Pacific coast.
The secretary devotes considerable space
to discussing new torpedocs.
"The increase OF our population and the ex-
pansion Of our trade under more favorable
commercial regulations than at present, which
may be expected to result from future legisla-
tion, are certain to beget American interests
which will look TO naval protection In nll

under the best regulation, arc likely to exist

Great Britain Mt the entrance of Puget Sound;
