The School of Experience.

An education is a fine thing to
have, but how many of the mil
lions of children in this great land
can afford to obtain more than the
rudiments as they are taught in
the common schools. The eXigen-
cies of the struggle for existence
require the great majority to leave
the schoolroom at an early age,
and thence forward all that is
learned must be in the hard and
difficult school Of experience. Not
one child in a hundred ever gets
beyond the doors of the ordinary
school. 1t thus follows that the
great bulk of humanity must look
elsewhere for it's knowledge than
to the schoolroom.
Because deprived of the ability
to attend the higher schools it by
no means follows that there is an
absence of the desire to learn. On
the contrary, the very difficulties
in the way make the pursuit of
knowledge all the keener and more
persistent.
This universal thirst for inform
alton upon every imaginable topic
under the sun is what has caused
the compilation of those great
aggregatiOns of information
known as encyclopedias. The high
est intellects of the day have con-
tributed to these great works, and
nothing has been left undOne
which could contribute to their
accuracy and completeness.
Every book reader knows that
of the various encyclopedias now
before the world none compares in
fullness and perfection with the
Britannica. 1t is the standard
work of this character.
But the very fact of its complete
ness puts it beyond the power Of
ordinary people to have it in their
homes, since the price is prohibit
tory except to those of abundant
means.
1t has remained, however, for
the San Antonio Express to solve
this difficulty, and by special
arrangements with the publishers
to furnish at Introductory prices
the full set of the new Encyclo-
padia Britannica, in which each
subject is brought down to date.
Besides reducing the price in this
remarkable manner the Express
has gone still further, and offers
such easy terms of payment that
no one will be warranted in plead
ing poverty as an excuse for not
purchasing the work. For single
dime put away daily one may OBJ
tain possession of this great work,
and thus have at command the
best education that can be con-
ceived.
We in our positition as enlight-
eners of the public mind can not
but urge our readers to accept OF
this great opportunity to get this
priceless library before the offer is
withdrawn.

4 Word for Apples.

DR.. G. r. Searles. of Brooklyn. n.
Y. thus diiscourses on the apple as
medicine: The apple is such COM
mon t'ruit that very few pe@sons are
familiar with its remarkably efiicaci-
Gus medicinal properties. Everybody
ought to know that the very best
thing they can do is to eat apples just
before retiring for the night Persons
uninitiated in the mysteries of the
fruit are liable to throw up their hands
in horror at the visions of dyspepsia
which such a suggestion may summon
up, but no harm can come 70 even Il
delicate system by the eating of ripe
and juicy apples just before going to
bed. The apple is an excellent brain
food, because it has more phosphorlc
acid in easily disgestiblc shape thanany
other vegetable known. 1t excites the
action Of the liver, promotes sound
and healthy sleep, and thoroughly dis
infects the mouth. This is not all. The
apple agglutinates the surplus acids OF
the stomach. helps the kidney secrc-
tions and prevents calculus growths.
it obviates indigestion and is one OF
the best preventivcs known of diseases
of the throat. Everybody should be
familiar with such knowledge, and l
hope YOU will help disseminate it. la
addition, next to the orange and the
lemon, it is the best anditote for the
thirst and craving of the person ad
dicated to the alcohol or the opium
habit

Bonds will be Issued.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-There is no
longer any doubt that an issue of
bonds has been definitely decided upon,
and it can be stated on good authority
that a circular asking for bids will be
issued during the present week, prob
ably by Thursday. 1t is fully realized
that the gold reserve has now reached
point where it could be completely
whipped out by few heavy shipments,
and it is thought to be the part of wis
dom not to wait until the gold in the
treasury is practically exhausted be-
fore making an effort to recoup it.
Wednesday last Mr.. Carlisle, after
several consultations with the presi-
dent. wrote to President Stewart, of
the United States Loan and Trust com
pany of New York, reciting the law
as to an issue of bonds, and asking his
opinion as to which class of bonds
could be placed at this time to the
greatest advantage to the government.
The result of this correspondence was
that the president and Mr.. Carlisle de-
cided to make the forthcoming issue
the same in amount and rate, and, III
nearly all other important particulars,
the same as the February issue. The
circular is now being prepared, and
indications point to an official an
nOulicement at once.

4 Just Finding.

COLUMBUS, o., Nov 15.-CoronerEd-
wards of Fayette County today re-
ported his findings in the inquests
upon the bodies Of the persons who
were killed by the volley of the mill
tia defending the court house, where
the rapist Dolby was confined. The
Coroner holds the shooting to have
been rnjustifiable and holds Sheriff
Cook and Colonel Colt, who were in
command Of the militia, responsible
for the fatal results. The finding was
not unexpected The Coroner is an
uncle Of one of the victims. So far as
can be learned tonight no warrants
had been issued for the arrest Of the
men but Welsh, the father of one of
the victims. Will swear out the way
rants tomorrow. Colonel Colt 5 friends
protest against his being taken to
Washington Court House without q
a military escort for fear of assassina-
ton. Governor Mckinley refuses to
discuss the matter. but if it is made
that the lives of the officers
will be endangered he viii send suf
iicient force for their protection. The
feeling against community is growing
very strong in other parts of the State.

a Curious Case.

CINCINNATI Nov. IA subpoena
for the arrest of Col. Colt. who COM
manded the militia at Washington
Court House during the recent riot
over the attempted lynchi14g OF two
men, has been issued The subpoena
cites that Col. Colt was wanted as a
witness at the trial. His friends have
urged him not to accept service on the
subpoena, as they claim it is merely a
ruse on the part of the authorities of
Washington Court House to get him
there and then place HMM Jail on the
charge of murder. They state that
the feeling against him is ointense at
the latter place that his life would be
in jeopardy The members OF the To-
cal militia are greatly excited over the
affair and some of the hot-headed ones
advise that the militia 60 to Washing

ported to have advised Col. Colt to 60

sponse to the subpoena and that if he
finds that matters there are of such a
character that his life is in danger,
the Governor will order out the militia

Judge Killed.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 14.-Chan-
cellor Andrew Allison of this city was
shot and killed in the corridors of the
county court house here at l o'clock
this afternoon by George Nhitworth,
ex-clerk and master of the Davidson
County Chancery Court. Whitworth
then attempted to commit suicide and
inflicted what will probably prove Il
fatal wound on himself. Nhltworth
was appointed to his Office by Judge
Allison and served one term. At the
expiration of that term a few days
since Judge Allison appointed his son,
Granville Allison, to succeed Whit
worth. 1t was this fact that instigated
the murder. Judge Allison was re-
elected to his Office Of Chancellor III
August last. He was as man Of about
fifty years of age and member OF an

SuES BE Can RESTORE Life.

SYRACUSE, N. Y. Nov. 13.-Dr. P.
J. Gibbons, of this city, this afternoon
forwarded to Governor Flower an ap-
plication for permission to try his the
ory of the resuscitation of human be-
ings killed" by electricity, on Charles
F. Wilson, who is to be electrocuted
at Auburn State prison for the murder
of Detective Harvey, of this city.
DR.. Gibbons said to me: I have
been present at the autopsies of cleo
trocuted murderers, and have care
fully studied the reports of autopsies
of this character made by other scien-
itfc men. We find no pathological
change, no change in the blood, and
no destruction of any vital organs or
tissues which we would have in death,
and could determine cause of death
in the autopsy. I have always con-
tended that execution by electricity
Is painless, and that it renders the
subject instantly unconscious. but
very often does not produce death. /
assert that the condition produced is
suspended animation, excepting when
the electrocuted one be physically
weak, having heart disease. aneurism.
or some other similar affection, in
which case the diseased parts are fre-
quently ruptured by the shock.
My intention is to discover some
means of saving the lives of those ac-
cidcntally shocked. I will have every
thing in readiness and will operate
upon the body as soon as the surgeon
pronounces death. We will apply
promptly a current Of electricity to
keep up body heat and body electrici-
ty. Ny methods and apparatus are
simple. The latter consists of two
bellows so arranged that they enter
the one tube The distal end of the tube
we insert through tne neck, as in
tracheotomy. When we depress the
handles one bellows infatesthe lungs,
and when we elevate the handles the
other exhausts the lungs, and On the
next depression drives the air into
space. This operation is continued. l
would not be discouraged till at least
three hours had passed .

How Cotton Seed May be Utilized.

I wish to make practical sugges-
ton that if promptly acted upon by
those having hogs to fatten, will save
thousands of dollars othe State within
the next sixty days. Contrary to pre-
vailing opinion, cotton seed, if properly
mixed with other food, so as to make
a properly balanced ration, is the
cheapest hog food we possess and per-
fectly safe. They are to be found on
every farm and are now being sold at
one-half their value considered as a
stock food, as compared with the mar
ket value of corn. There isan abund-
ant crop of sweet potatoes, which can
neither be marketed nor preserved to
advantage. Cotton seed and sweet
potatoes mixed in proportion of one of
the former to three Of the latter, and
boiled together will give a hog food
superior in every respect to corn and
absolutely safe. To those not having
potatoes and useing corn as a sole fat
tening ration, I would suggest to mix
cotton seed and corn bushel for bush
ell and grind together Or cock. Fed
according to either menthood every
bushel of cotton seed is worth to the
farmer as much as a half bushel Of
corn, or at the present price of corn 35
cents per bushel, while their present
market price is less than half. Crit
cisms of above suggestions Will be
cheerfully and scientifically discussed.
HELPER.
The above suggestion comes from
the Columbia State and we give it to
our readers for what it is worth. 1t
would be advisable to try it carefully
at first. until assured of its value. II
true it is of great Advantage to the farm
