But One Guilty Man.

Proctor Knott, famous as an eloquent
Governor Of Kentucky, was a Missouria1
in the fifties. He was Governor Stew
arts Attorney General. Knott tells o
story of Ste yart which, although very
old, is declared By him to have ha its
origin just as he states it. One day, SC
Knott relates. the pair were walking
through the peniten!iary OF sort OF
inspection tour. Prisoners were then
permitted to approach the Governor IN
person aud plead with him for executive
clemency. As the officials passed through
the corridors Stewart asked one alter
another of the convicts about his case.
81 am here" said one, "for muTde,
never committed"
"And Pm in," said another, "for az
temptin' to kill when it was a clean case
of self.defense."
'I'm innocent, too, Governor" said
another. "I never stole thing in my
life."
Governor Stewart asked hundreds Of
questions, but every conv;c: declared his
innocence aud begged for pardon. A.
length, just before leaving the prison,
the Executive met a young fellow carry
ing load Of some sOr. Of prison product.
The convict salutsd respectfully aud
was passing on, when the Governor
stopped him.
"What arc you here forl" he asked.
"For stealing horses, Your Excel
lency," was the ready reply.
"But, OF course, you are iuDOcsutl"
the Governor went or, winkiug a. Gen.

"Of course Tn nothing Of tde sort"
said the prisoner. ~ stole en-, and I've

"Well," said Governor Stewart, "you

more to do than they can accomplish and

Mental wo5k, whether II be simply per-

of blood shall flow to the brain; hence,
during mental excrtion OF any kind, the
cerebral vessels become distended owing
TO the Increased volume Of blood they
contain, and they remain in this condi'
ton as long as the eSertiou is continued.
II it is too intense, OF If it b, preserved

lows than their minds become inordinate

empty themselves, simply because they

Oh, joy and hope, oh. youth AMI sp-inS a

The snow-drops sbiver with delight
And shake their bells to call
The lazy tulips up. to light
Their torches by the wall;
The brave. bright crocuses arise
In gold and purple lines,
And smile to greet the smiling skies
II is st. Valentines
Thick with brown bulls, the eim-boughs
sway
And becSon TO the sun:
A redbreast on the topmost spray
HIS love-song has begun
On wood and wave tender Aooi
OF vital radiance shines,
And every bird ani every bUl
Welcomes st. Valentines

And circle round and round.
Two bluebirds in the ross6ush woo
Two sparrows on tbs ground;

The California Ostrich.

The ostrich will eat and thrive on
great many plants. Their principll
food is alfalfa. They will do well on
natural grasses, suci as al6leria, burr
Glove. and salt grass; also, green barley
aud cornstslks (cut half an inch in
length), red or white clover, cactus with
the thorns scOrchcd off, grape pumace,
beet pulp, Gala lilies, banana trunks,
and sweet potato vines. Alfalfa hay and
clover cut up and moistened is a good
substitute when green feed is scarce, al
though green feed is indispensable at all
times OF the year. Grain is only neces.
sary during the winter months. Pota.
toes, cabbage, and most kinds of yegc.
tables rank as luxuries.
At fifteen months old bird will yield
its second crop Of feathers, consisting OF
from forty to fifty pIumes, and other
short feather amounting to over hslt
pound in weight. The first crop OF
feather, when the blrl is only seven
months old, is not OF much value from
two to five dollars a bird. At the pres
ent London prices bird will yield from
twenty to forty dollars worth OF feathers
at a plucking, the amount depending on
the sex and condition OF the bird.
The egg-shelI may be another item Of
profit. A hen will lay as many as sixty
eggs a year, if we'll fed. They commence
laying at three aud one-half years old.
The feathers are equal, if not superior,
to the African product. The larger tho
enclosures tho better, for their HABITS
are naturally roaming. Sandy or gravel
ly sol is preferable An acre Of alfalfa
will keep ten birds, if ths feed is cut
and given them; if pa,.ured, only half
this number will thrive.
The only one showing for probt az
present is in the disposal Of the feathers.
Paraioxically as it mag appear, parcel
of feathers will bring higher price in
the London market than can be obtained
here. The reason for this is that each
buyer here requires a certain kind OF
feather, there being many varieties and
colors. II the present product OF the
State was 50 divided there would
not be enough OF each kind to satisfy orr
buyers to bother about, 50 they g. to
the London sales and pick what they
need in any quantity. When once the
production is sufficiently large to hold a
quarterly or hllf.yearly sale, this ob'ta-
Gle will no doubt be obyistc1. Ths
California feathers arc sold in London,
bought by American buyers aud sent
back here with duty Of twenty-five per

The Pale White lllht Of 0 Osath.

Those who have admired the phos'
phoresceut glow of certain species Of
crustace will be interested to learn that
a startling discovery respecting it has
been made. Formerly it was supposed
that such creatures emitted tho light OF
their own accord and that they used it
in variety OF ways. 1t is now known
that the light is a disease as deadly tc
the infected individuals as cobra poison
ing is to the human species. Mr.. Girard
has traced phOsphorescent light in Tati'
trus and other crustaceaus to exceedingly
minute bacteria in the muscles. On iu'
oculating healthy specimens with glow
ing bacteria, the same luminous appear
auce was transmitted. He also notes that
the disease runs a regular course aud that
those injected die within four days, the
phosphorescence lasting hut short wdlle

The State Department is in receipt OF
OF very interesting report from W. H.
Abercrombie, United States Consul at
Nagaski, Japan, upon the c4m2hO5 iu-
dustry in Kin Shin. The method Of
manufacture of this important staple, as
described by Consul Williams, is quite
unique. A wooden tub is flied with the
camphor wood minutelY cut and the tub
placed upon au irou pot over furnace.
Tde tub is connected by bamboo plpe
with a case underneath, both Of which
arc filed with water. When the furnace
is heated camphor in solution passes
through the bamboo pipe and being
cooled by water adheres to the bottom Of
the upper case. Three men are required
at each furnace. The camphor trees
are owned By the Government. Wash
