THE STATE pRIsON MATrER.
The State Prison Investigation has finally
got headed right. An Investigation by the
regular committee would not have satisfied
anybody unless 1t had resulted In the CON-
demnation of the warden. II the special
committee should clear him 1t would be a.
complete q vindieation as he or his friends
could ask for. The investigation which is
now to be made will be thorough one. It
should be an open one so that there can be
no ground for suspicion concerning its re-
suit. The people of the State should have
q chanse to see that the warden is treated
fairly, and they should also have chance
to see that the rights even Of eonyiets are
suitably regarded.
The warden and his friends have hurt
his case 80 far. They have shown too
much anxiety to have the investigation
conducted in certain way. But he will
not be condemned unless he deserves 1t.
The investigating committee and the peo-
pie understand that q prison In not .
heaven and cannot and should not be made
one. But 1t should not be q hell any more
than is made necessary by the character of
its inmates and the preservation of strict
discipline. 1t is much In Warden Cham
berlaiH's favor that his rule has been efa-
cient. And we do not believe in splitting
hairs about his methods. If they haven't
been outrageous he should be sustained.

Spain, the quality of the mercury improves
and the quantity increases the farther the
distance traysrsed. In the deepest gallery
the mercury seems to run from the rocks
as resin from the trees. On being taken
from the pits the ore Is smeltsd In vast
furnaces: Distillation is effected through
. long and complete series of tubes, formed
of thick jars, with Q long, marrow neck,
fitting into each other. In the lower por-
ton of these jars thsrs exists kind of
small reservoir, where the drops of mer-
curry produced by the evaporation of the
metal In state of fusion are condensed.
These drops are then collected, and, with
the aid of small pipes, stored In large iron
barrels. A strong and penetrating odor,
which initiates the eyes and nostrils, es-
cspes from the jars and barrels.
The origin of "There's many q slip be-
tween the cup and the lip" is explained by
Ainsworth as follows: A king of Thrace
had planted Q vineyard, when one of his
slaves, whom he had much oppressed In
that very work, prophssied that he, the
king, would never taste the wine pro-
ducsd from 1t. The king disregsrded this
prophecy, and when at an entertainment
he had before him cup full of the wine
from his vineyard he sent for his slave
and asked him insultingly what he thought
of his prophecy. The slaves only response
was, "There's many . alp between the cup
and the lip" Scarcely had he spoken
when some one rushed into the room and
announced that wild boar had got into
the vineyard and was laying 1t waste. The
king arose In fury, attacked the boar and
was killed without ever tasting the wine.
Some interesting fgures are published
by the Dundee Advertiser In an article on
the incomes of the ministers of the Estab-
nshed church in Scotland. The stipends
are, as Is well known, ruled by the hsrs
prices-thst is, the prices of grain as fixed
by the sheriff and jury after the hearing
of expert evidence. This year, 30 far at
least as some of the counties are concerned,
the prices are, taken all around, the lowest
on record. The first quality of wheat is
25s. Sd. this year, as against S6s. Sd. last
year, while the second is 18s. I'd. against
32s. sd. last year. A parish minister on
these prices would receive eel this year
for every f100 he received last year. Bar
ley and oats have also fallen very much In
price, and In the case of stipends paid on
barley there will be reduction of between
25 and 80 per cent. The Advertiser re-
marks that ''it seems hardly worth while,
in view of these facts, getting up the great
movement which was contemplated against
the SCOTCH Suspensory bill. The Church
of Scotland is in process of being disen-
dowed without the interference of psrlia'

PATIENT AND IMPATIKNT.

An esteemed correspondent sends us the
following:
Permit a suggestion in regard to the new
High School building-that there be ball
room attachment, In order that the stu
dents may have all their requirements lib
orally provided.
Meanwhile the taxpayers, who submit
with such exemplary patience to all impo-
sitions, would humbly ask to have the
streets watered for the protection of their
health, their clothing and their property.
We heartily sympathize with the eduos-
tional suggestion. We have often thought
that the chief argument on which the High
School is founded has not been used as 1t
might be. There is nothing illogical or
inconsistent in our correspondents idea.
Indeed, it is entirely logical and consist
emit. Those who attend the High School
should have what they want and all they
want. Anything that will add to their
comfort and their happiness should be
given them by generous public which
has undertaken the pleasing and gracious
task of making them ornamental and taken
chances on their being useful.
But as for watering the streets, that is
another story. Taxpayers expect too
much: They are lacking in patience. They
are no worse off than Job, who said that
his flesh was clothed with clods of dust and
that he should sleep In the dust.

occasion. The material is yellow brocade,
and it has tight fitting lining and closes

pieces of the back are tucked, in order to
hide the opening. The upper material has
no darts, and is fitted to the figure over the
lining. The shoulder and side seams are
basted frat in order to draw the goods In

BEEkEEPING PAYS.
If One Is Careful the Insects Can Be
Handled with Ease.

If One Is Careful the Insects Can BE
Handled with Ease.
Why don't farmers keep bees and
care for them as they do their live stock
and crops? They work for nothing,
board themselves and furnish surplus
of honey in any ordinary season. From
a single colony l have taken 67 pounds
and a swarm in one season. Of course,
1 have the best Italians 1 could get,
which work on red clover. The labor
is very light and pleasant to anyone in
terested.
The idea so common that the honey
bee is on the alert to sting someb body or
something is mistake. If one learns
their nature and treats them according
ly they can be handled with as much
ease as a cow or a horse, the latter be-
ing the most dangerous. 1 have clean,
painted hives and keep the grass down
about them If a colony is weak, L
give them a start in the world by feed
ing. which they pay back next season
with interest. 1 put chaff cushions
around them in winter to keep them
warm, therefore brood-rearing goes on
lively in spring and the bees and keep
err are happy.-kansaS Farm Record.

LAMAR'S SUCCESSOR NAMED.

The President dominates Howell e Jack
son, Democrat, to the Vacancy the
Supreme Bench.
WASHINGTON, Feb 3.-Howen Ed
munds jackson, of Tennessee, was yes
terday nominated by President Har-
rison to be associate justice of the
United States supreme court to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of l. Q C.
Lamar. Mr. jackson is a democratic
eX-United States senator, and at pres
ent judge of the United States court for
the district of Tennessee, to which posi-
ton he was appointed in 1856 by Presi-
dent Cleveland. He was born in Paris,
Tenn, in 1882, and graduated at West
Tennessee college in 1S4S and then
passed two years in the university of
Missouri. In 1859 he removed to Mem
phis and was twice appointed a Judge
of the state supreme court He removed
to jackson in 1876 and was elected a
representative in the legislature in 1850.
He was elected United States senator
from Tennessee for the term beginning
March 4, 1881, but resigned in 1886 to
assume his present position.
Inquiry about the capital shows that
the appoin tment is considered from a
judicial, naturally not a political view,
as splendid one. About the supreme
court it is said that President Harrison
has shown once more great deal of
judgment in his selection of a man for
a place on the bench of the highest trib-
una1 in the land 1t is stated that Mr..
Jackson has made fine circuit Judge
and no doubt is entertained as to his
making a good justice. The appoint
ment was a great surprise to the Ten
nessee delegation in the house. The
two republican members felt sore over
the selection OF d democrat and a states
right man, but when asked as to Mr..
JackSon's personal fitness, conceded that
his character and abilities were all that
could be desired. The selection was
politically more pleasing to some of the
democratic representatives who recall
the fact that Judge Jackson was lead
er of the ''upshoot democrats of Ten
nesSee," an element which made a
warm, but unsuccessful fight within
the party in favor of the payment of
the state debt dollar for dollar, sub
stantially as demanded by the bond
holders These men said, however,
that the new judge was strong, clean
and able.
Representative Houk, of Tennessee,
when asked about the appointment,
said: Il think President Harrison has
followed his inclinations and has be-
trayed the republican party and COM
mitted crime against the constitution
by appointing a man who by birth and
schooling is a states right democrat,
believing in strict construction of tie
constitution and the supremacy of the
state over the nation l have nothing
to say against Judge Jackson as man;
he is Just. able and humane"
Representative Enloe said: SIT is an
excellent appointment Judge jackson
is able, industrious, pure in character
and good judge. l have never heard
his democracy questioned.
Representative Pierce said: 1T is Z
fine appoin tment"

While our state has developed in
every other respect, we have made no
progress in the matter of roads. We
are in this regard almost where we
We're half century ago, SO that for a
nulnb Der of months in the year our
roads are almost impossible The loss
and Inconvenience of this falls most
heavily on our agricultural commune
ties. Not only is the farmer subjected
to a heavy loss in the wear and tear
of his team, but he is frequently pre-
vented from aEailing himself of favor
able markets by the impassability of
the roads. The state should again
take up the subject of internal i'm
provennents and adopt policy that
will tend to the building of good roads
in every county in the state-roaGs
that can be Travelled every day in the
year. AS the railroads do all the car
rying for long distances, wagon roads
are, to u great extent, local matter
in each county. This being so, the
roads viii not need to be so wide, and
can, therefore, be more cheaply built
than would otherwise be possible. It
is also probable that some of the con-
victs of our penitentiaries could be
used to prepare material for the build
ing of roads.-From Gov. A1tgeld's In
