A PENNSYLVANIA newspaper Is
prosecuting a man who gave one Of
its reporters a bogus news item,
which was printed in good faith,
stirring up more or less of a row.
The Pennsylvania law makes it a
misdemeanor for any person to pro-
cure the publication Of false news,
and in some cases 1t is proper to have
the statute enforced, The paper
which Is prosecuting in the present
instance, however, has only itself to
blame The story that caused The
trouble was to the effect that the
wife Of citizen more or less we'll
known had presented her liege lord
with four children at once. The re-
porter to whom the tale was unfolded
didn't take the trouble to verify it,
as he might have done by walking a
few blocks. lie turned it in, the city
editor "passed" it and the paper
printed it. Then came the row, and
the paper, in order to be revenged,
seeks to send the joker to the peni.
Tertiary That is not good newspa-
per work, The journal is showing
its own weakness in prosecuting.
The true remedy would lie to get an.
other reporter and put the city editor
back in the maillng-room.

Protecting Corn.

There are several modes OF pro,
tecting corn from the depredations
of crows. One of the simplest is to
coat the seeds with tar. Place a
half bushel of the seeds in a basket
and pour on hot water enough to
moisten and heat all the seeds; then
Immediately apply pint of pine tar
and stir the whole rapidly for some
time. Every seed will thus become
coated, and if a quantity
of air-slacked lime is then ap-
piled it will render it dry
and easily handled. The crows
will pull up the plants in order to
eat the seed but coming in contact
with the tarred seed they are thor
oughly disguised with its flavor and
the remainder will be untouched.
Another mode is to stretch white
Irvine zigzag across the field. The
crows will not touch the plants
fenced in on two sides or within an
angle. Another mode IS to scatter
corn on top of the ground oyer night,
which they will devour if in sutfi-
Gent quantity and leave the planted
seed. A fourth mode is to employ a
man with a gun and a dollars worth
of powder and shot, take his meals
with him and cont nue. in the field
few days and they will become fir ght-
ened and leave the premises Ger

debates and conflne themselves to
recording the routine business Of the
house The Hungarian legislators,
who, like their American brethren,
wish to see themselves in print, are
making every effort to smooth the
ruiIled feathers of the reporters, but
thus far without avail. 1t Is not
likely that such a strike could occur
In this country, but the result in some
localities would be singular. In Chi
cago, for instance, the aldermen
would hail with delight the prospect
of keeping their dolngs out of the
newspapers, and the people at large
would be glad If the dreary debates
in the Senate would run against a
strike Of any kind.

In the United States circuit court at
Wichita, Judge Williams passed upon
the two important cases in which suit
was brought to recover on defaulted
bonds Of Arkansas City and Anthony,
respectively. The suits involved over
$4,000 each, and that against Arkan-
sas City was decided against Swan and
Barrett, the plaintiffs, while the Woon-
socket Institution for Savings won its
case against the city of Anthony. In
the Arkaneas City case the bonds
seemed to have been issued regularly,
as provided by law, and so stated on
their facey but later investigation de-
yeloped the fact that no ordinance has
been passed by the city council author
izing the issue as required by law, and
Judge Williams ruled that it was the
purchasers duty to sec that all require
ments OF law had been complied with.
At the same time he characterized the
action of the city's officers as grossly
fraudulent. In the city of Anthony
case the bonds were properly issued.

THIRTY or forty years ago every
housekeeper of the we'll TODD class
had store-room in which were
kept well-polished barrels Of different
sugars, chests of tea, a bag Of coffee,
and other supplies in similar quanti-
ties. This room was kept locked and
the mistress served out the supplies
as they were needed. Modern house
keepers find that this plan, though
seemingly economical, is really ex-
travagant. A pound of coffee ground
fresh at the store for her order, she
discovers, lasts so many days, and
the cook becomes aware of the same
truth. So with the four-pound roll
of butter, the twenty-five cents worth
of eggs Without effort the system
creates itself, and small wastes and
leakages are done away with.

railway enterprises in course of con-

cessful. Then again comes word from
Denver that the Gulf & Fort Worth road
had received authority to issue 100000
