A rrotter'4 Heavy Internal Handicap.

When the French barn on Lake street
was burned few months ago, valua-
BILE horse, q trotter, lost his life. The
animal was valued at from 81 500 to &c.
600. In the course of events the body
was turned over to the rendering COM
pany, and in preparing it for rendering
stomach was a stone that weigheds151
pounds and was as large as the top of a
silk hat.
DR.. e. s. Kelley, commissioner of
health, who examined the stone, is inter
ested in it and will endeavor to secure it
for the Minnesota Academy Of Natural
Sciences. The doctor says that each sue
cessive layer can be traced with ease,
and that if the stone were to be sawed in
two-it is soft enough to admit of such
an operation--the layers would be dis
tinctly marked. In all probability the
growth started first from nail, pebble
or some other foreign substance that had
been taken into the stomach. The sue
cessive coatings came from the efforts of
nature to rid herself of the obstruction,
and the process Of growth is not unlike
the pearl in the pearl oyster Minneap-
oils Journal.

associates will establish, is firmly en-

regarded as practically certain that
the new president Of Honduras will
be Bonills, leader Of the Honduran op
position to Vasquez, the dethroned
president. This would be entirely
natural, now that the insurgents are
victorious. Vasquez, it is supposed. will
leave the country and Nicaragua will

GERMAN PRISON FARE.
The Experience of Frenchman Who Was
Incarcerated For Spying.


The Experience of Frenohman Who Was
Incarcerated For Spying.
A Frenchman named Klein, who has
lust been released after undergoing q
long term of imprisonment in Germany
as spy, gives very uninviting descrip-
ton of life in German prisons. Klein
has lust returned to Bar lie Duo, where
his family reside. On Feb. II, 1887, he
was arrested at Strasburg, where he was
detained for five months awaiting his
trial. At the end of that time he was
taken to Leipsic, where he was tried,
found guilty and sentenced to six years
hard labor. Soon afterward he was re-
moved to prison at Halle-on-Saale.
For four years, according to his story,
he was not allowed to see or speak to
any one, SO that his reason seemed to be
impaired, and he was removed first to a
madhouse at Berlin, then to another at
Stephansfeld. He was finally liberated
on the 18th of December.
At the prison of Halle, Klein occupied
a cell about IL cubic meters in size, with
one small window in it, and his bed was
a plank with maize straw mattress and
one blanket. His food consisted chiefly
of barley, peas and other grain, with
soup made of meat twice week and of
tallow the other five days. The allotted
daily task for each prisoner was 10 pairs
of stockings, and the penalty for not
completing them beating with cane.
Klein earned 25 marks, or shillings, for
his six years work.-London Letter.

GILBERT ISLANDS MONARCH.
The CiviIizing Influences Developed b,
His Visit to San Francisco.

The CiviIizing influences Developed by
His Visit to San francisco.
"The island of Taputcouea," said Cap
tain J. Duncan, until recently in COM
mand of the missionary steamer Morn
ing Star, ''has adopted somewhat diff
ferent code of etiquette since the return
of the king of the Gilbert islands from his
visit to San Francisco. His majesty no
longer roams barefooted around the is
lands in the native costume, but has de-
veloped pronounced fancy for collect
ing clothes and owns an extensive ward
robe. Eastlake furniture is now in use
at the royal palace, and his majesty will
allow nothing but choice china and cost
ly silverware on the table.
When the king returned home from
San Francisco, he took horse and bug
gy with him. There are no horses and
no buggies ON the islands, and conse-
quently no roads. The king, immedi-
ately after landing, set men to work
hewing out rocks and making a circular
road about so feet from the top Of the
cone shaped islands. The natives are not
rapid workers, their tools are crude, and
1t was but short time ago that the road
was completed. This is the only road on
the islands, and it begins and ends at the
same place and is is miles long. Every
afternoon the king, arrayed in sport
ing costume, exercises his one horse
around this one road, while the natives
gaze on in a state of admiration. San
