MURDERER oAsEYs DOVE.
A snow-whIte Bird That Had an Affection
for had Men.

AfsAN NNhN anu w fANNhAbH
for had Men.
al can recall a strange incident
that has never found its way into
print, said a member Of the New
York congressional delegation. 1T
happened in Long Island, in the
Queens County JAIL and, to say the
least, Is tinged with strangeness.
Patrick Casey a Long Island City
policeman, was an inmate Of the jail,
under the sentenceof death for the de-
liberate murder of Sergt, Cumlsky,
The present representative in Con-
gress from the First Congressional
District, New York, James W..
Covert, was Casey's counsel, and sue
ceeded in having the sentence COM
muted to Imprisonment for life. On
the day Casey was sentenced to death
pure-white dove flew in the court
room window and alighted on his
shoulder.
"The dove refused to be moved ac-
companied Casey back to his cell, and
became his constant companion. At
the same time Charles Rugg, the no.
torious negro murderer, was also an
inmate Of the jail, awaiting trial for
the murder of Mrs. Lydia Maybee
and her daughter Just previous to
the day set for his trial Rugg escaped
from the Jail, but two days later was
captured and returned to the Jail.
The day Of his capture was the day
set for Casey's removal to Sing Sing
to serve out his life sentence. AS he
was being taken from the jail and
while in the shelifI's Office being pre-
pared for his journey Rugg was led in
by his captors. All this time the
dove had been perched on Casey's
shoulder, but as soon as Rugg was led
in the dove flew from Casey's shoulder
over to Riggs, alighting on his shout
der, cooling as if it had found a long
lost friend.
"All efforts on the part Of Casey to
call 1t back again were in vain, and
as Rugg was led back to the cell from
which he escaped the dove went with
him. 1t remained with him up to
the morning of the execution. On
that morning, as Rugg marched up
to the scatTOld, the dove was perched
on his shoulder and remained there
until the black cap was drawn over
his face. AS soon as that was done
the dove flew out Of one Of the jail
windows, and was never seen around
the jail again"

returned from there, the long stock
ing is doomed. Every one wears
socks. Boys and girls in short trous-
ers and skirts display waste Ct pink
flesh between the top of the sock and
the bottom Of their garments There
is of course, not this same display in
the case Of the grown.up wearers 0f
the sock, but there are sufficient
other disadvantages to make up for
this.
The agonles Of the woman who is

absorption in other things she forgetS
the fact that she has discarded stock

fort of her feelings. She cannot for
an instant, remember what is the

conviction that her garter has slipped

her. Then she remembers and her
horror passes, but the discomfort re-

Curions Census lessons.

Slowly the public is getting some
ineligible ideas from the census
compilation of four years ago. The
clerks have at last figured out that
there were then just 1892, 973 "home
families" in the United States, which
means probably that there were that
many groups of persons living togeth-
er. OF these almost tlve-eighths-
in exact figures, 4,767, l79-were on
farms and the remainder in cities.
1t thus appears that the country
and the city population grouped in
families is as five to three. Another
statement is that the number Of per-
sons in family is on an average less
than five, so that the persons form
ing parts of the families are only
about two-thirds of the total popula-
ton. The other third, or about 20
600, 900 persons, seem to be, there
fore. living independently of family
ties.
This is a rather curious showing.
One-third of the entire population
consists, presumably, Of boarders, or
of inmates of charitable and cor
rectional institutions. AS our pau
pers and criminals are not more nu-
merous than those of other countries,
the natural inference is that the
habit of living in boarding-houses or
hotels is far more prevalent than it
is anywhere else.
Another thing that is surpris-
ing in these census figures of
ours is. that we have fewer
houses in proportion to population
than the French have, for instance.
In the United States the average is
about five and half persons TO a
house, while in France it is only four
and three quarters, and yet the lat
ter country is far more densely popu-
lated than even our Oldest settled
States along the North Atlantic
coast
The tendency is, however, toward
fewer inhabitants to house in this
county. The decrease has been ex-
ceedingly slow but it has been fairly
steady. In 1850 we had nearly six
persons to a house, so that there has
been Il reduction of about half per-
son since then. On the principle Of
the fewer persons under the same
roof the higher the grade of civilza-
tion, we are justified in congratulate
ing ourselves on this fact.

THE number of employees killed on
the railroads every year is not a nice
subject, but it is well worth keeping
in mind, and mentioning at intervals
until something is done to check the
slaughter. Here, for example, says
the Hartford Courant, is a compari-
son with the mortality in coal min
ing, which is claimed as a hazardous
occupation. In 1892 there was in
Pennsylvania one fatal accident to
every 378 persons employed in the
coal mines, and one non-fatal accident
to every 1873, But among railroad
train hands the same year one was
killed to every l15 employed, and one
hurt to every twenty-eight employed,
There is no sufficient reason for such
a record.

Snail biting.

We shall never, in all likelihood,
grow to share the French taste for
edible snail, though the big escargot
is common enough in many parts of
England, where tradition says they
were introduced by the Romans, and
still live on round the sites of their
villas, The eScargot is really at its
BEST when taken in the vineyards at
Lhe end of March and the beginning
IF April. They live on the shoots of
the vines, and during the winter
bury themselves in the ground, dur
ing which time, like the souls hung
up to air in hade;, they are purged of
all gross humOrS before they return
to enjoy themselves in the Elysian
fields in spring.
CooSlng the snails is not an easy
matter. They are drawn from the
shell, which is then carefully
scrubbed and washed. Their heads
are cut off, and they are we'll soaked
in salt and water, then returned to
the shell, which is stopped with
parsley batter and laid to simmer in
hot dish over the fire. An en-
thusast sent the writer some dozens,
taken at the right season, from his
vineyard in Burgundy, with few
bottles of red and white wine
(Corton) made from the juice of the
grapes from the vines on which they
had fed, in order, as he said, that
"the snails when eaten might find
themselves en- pays dS connai;sance, ;"

A MANY times millionaire, who had
no education and to whom the great
world of culture and refinement is
like a sealed book tries to dissuade a
boy from getting higher education.
! The argument be Psss Is Is that There
are too many educated people work
ing for $40 to $50 per month. With
people who look merely upon the SUI
perfcial and money side Of every
thing this is a strong argument, but
the fact remains that even though
an education does not seem to reach
or help natural fool, the smartest
self-made man in the world recog-
nizes the fact that well as he can
work under handicap he could work
all the better for having the best
tools to work with.

The fee is reduced from $50 to So,

more with a large membership and
small dues than with a small mem

railways and the general use of
bicycles, the demand for horses has
decreased rapidly. Even on the
farm, machinery is displacing horse
power. Every year witnesses an in

power and decreased use of horses
aud mules The time is nearly at
hand when there will be no demand
worth mentioning for any horses ex.

keep up with the procession would

RARE RELIC FOUND.

Pipe of Onyx Once Smoked by Cave
Dweller in Utah.
This pipe was found in San Juan

in a neatly tanned beaver skin, which
served as a pouch. This also con-

material, which consists Of the inner
bark of the red willow and leaves of

of Mexican onyx, and highly polished.
The cavity of the bowl is lined with
a black mineral cement and contains
the ashes of the last puff the smoker
enjoyed. The stem is 4 of an inch in
diameter and II inches in length, and
is composed of jet highly polished
and cemented to the bowl with pinon

be that the mixing is done after the

The Union Pacific railroad has an
nounced it's purpose to carry seed wheat
to the destitute farmers of western Kan
sas, free of charge, and has instructed
its agents in the territory west of Ogal-
lab and Plainville that no charges are
to be made on wheat when billed as
seed wheat. This is cooperation on
the part of the railroad with the farm
ers in the more fortunate parts of the
state, who are supplying the western
sufferers with sowing wheat.
