Threshing Bariey.

A brewer of Peterboro. Ont, sends
this word to the barley growers:
"When you cut your barley, don't
thresh it out at once, but let It stay in
the stack or NOW for month before
threshing to sweat. This sweating is
a chemical process which greatly i'm
proves barley for mailing purposes.
Barley threshed as soon as cut never
malts well. Barley is better for being
cut slightly green and allowed to stand
in the field until dry enough for hous-

Frozen Vegetables In the Dark.

The fact that some vegetables may
be frozen while In the ground without
injury. provided they are not disturbed
until thawed. has led to the belief that
the soil somehow draws" the frost

to exclude light. 1t is very injurious
to frozen vegetables to be exposed to

Although Mrs. Lease seems to have
retired. from politics, she has not retir
ed from political economy. Her book,
just published, is called "The Problem
of Civilization Solved" It contains
more ideas to the page than some books
have in their whole length. Lack OF
ideas was never one of Mrs Leases
failings. The reader will be inclined to
wonder where this woman, a Kansas
farmers wife for many years, out on
the prairies, afar from school or library,
got all the information that is apparent
in her attempt to solve the problem OF
civilization, Whether she is right or
wrong in her deductions from the facts
of history, the facts certainly have been
sought and marshaled abundantly be-
fore her readers. According to Mary
Elizabeth Leases lights, the problem OF
civilization today is chiefly to find a
way of thinning out the wretched poor
who are crowded together in the great
cities, cheated out OF light, air, food,
education and everything that makes
life worth living, existing either as
criminals or slaves
The trouble with the civilized world,
the author says, is overpopulation in
few great centers. Two-thirds of the
earth's people live on only one-eleventh
of it's land acres The total population
of the globe is about 1, 800, 600, 600
Belgium has 600 persons to the square
mile England 500, and even our own
New England states have 800.
At the same time in Africa, in Cen
tral and South America there are 16,
900, 600 square miles Of the most fer
tile, favored land on the globe waiting
for the hand of man TO cultivate it. The
climate is admirable in most of these
regions. In all of them it may be made
healthful by cultivation and drainage
Thin out, thin out! cries Mary Lease
Send the suffering surplus population
of civilization to these favored chimes
and fertile lands, where life will be
happiness, and the poorest can by their
own reasonable effort easily enjoy ev-
cry luxury needed by man. In two
words tropical colonization" is Mrs
Leases solution for the problem of civ
ilization. Besides this she would have
the profits derived from labor saving ma
chinery shared equally by the capital
list. the workman who runs the machines
and the purchaser who consumes their
produce.

HAWAIIAN REPUBLICANISM.

The Brutal Manner in Which DOle's Gov

From the Savannah News.
There comes from Hawaii a story of
current politics that should prove Of
deep interest to Senator lodge of MasSa-
chuSetLs and other members of congress
who are in flyor of making the Hawaiian
republic a part of this country. The
story appears in the New York Mail and

torture to secure such evidence as it
wants in its treason cases. The nara
tive is from the pen of the San Francisco
Calls special correspondent, who gives
Names dates and details in straight

One of the victims of Dole's inquisi-
ton, according to the story, is an Ameri-
can named William Davis, the captain of
the steamer Waimsnolo. While protest
ing his innocence of the charges against
him, and asserting his American citizen
ship, he was taken into the prison yard
and strung up by the thumbs, being
given to understand that confession
was what was wanted. AS he did not
weaken from the thumb striUging, his
legs were bound with cords, he was

FACED DEATH FOR DOLLARS.
A Man Let Hole Be Bored Through His
Stomach for $4,000.

SIOnldCn IOf @0,UOG.
The man who, for consideration of
IS 900, consented to have a hole bored
through his stomach in the interest of
science, has paid for his fortune with his
life. 1t came about through an adYer-
tisement last August printed by one
Osbuldston, who runs message estab-
lishment. 1t called for man who would
consent to 60 down to Guayaquil, Ecua-
dor, and there submit to an experimental
operation by the South American doc
tors. Osbuldiston acted as agenG for
those physicians. 1t was illustrative of
the hard times that more than 120 an
swers were received.
The operation in question was simply
an incision in the stomach through which
the action of the gastric juices might be
observed. The cavity thus made was
about the size of a hazlenut. Tubes of
gold and silver were inserted, and
thrOuh these the nourishment taken by
the patient was forced, the digestive
process being studied by the aid of an
electric light. Incidental to the opera
ton certain chemical substances were
administered to the patient through the
tube to ascertain positively the action of
drugs il combination with each other.
1t does not appear that any specific OBJ
Ject was to be achieved by these investi-
cations, or that so far medical science
has been served in the slightest degree.
Twice before had Osbudiston obtained
subjects for these medical men. The
fist patient was Joseph Burton. He
received ed after nearly year of suffering,
and is now farmer in Queensland. The
second subject was inoculated with sew
eral frightful diseases and died a horrible
death.
Among the 120 persons who answered
Osbuldiston's advertisement last August
was well knit, powerful-looking fellow
who had been a sailor. He was about )
feet s inches in height, and weighed
about $50 pounds, looked hard and Elry
and was active as a cat Osbuldiston
decided that he would do. His name
was Ferdinand Pietrich.
The first week in September Pietrich
started for Guyaquil. There, for four or
five weeks, he remained under medical
care in preparation for the operation,
and it was the second or third week in
October before the chief surgeon, DR..
Adele Ajacio, ventured to perform the
operation.
Osbuldiston learned four or five weeks
ago that the operation had been COM
pletely successful, and that the patient
was on the road to recovery when he
took to drink. Under these conditions
it became necessary to discontinue treat
ment for time, and in this interval
Pietrich, while :ng on the battlements
of fortress one morning, was seized
with sunsroke and died within two
hours. He was alone in the world, and
it does not appear that he ever received
the money for which he risked his life,
or in fact anything beyond his travelling
expenses. Philadelphia Press.

a TOUCHING STORY.
A TragicaI Incident Which Is Both strange
and True.


and True.
Paris Letter in New Orleans Picayune.
NJ. Jeane Darlene relates in the Nou-
velle Revue modern and tragical Christ
mas story, which is both strange and
true. 1t was in 1870, in chateau of the
Berry country, invaded then by the
Prussians. The children of the house
had built up snow man, and at the side
of this inanimats statue a Uhlan was
sentenced to remain motionless on horse
back for several hours in the terrible
cold and stormy weather.
Impassive, under the terrible snow
storm, the soldier was soon covered with
it, as was his horse as well. Flakes fell
on his beard and froze there; but, care
less in their youth, the children had re-
sumed against the "bonhomme Noel"
their storm of snow balls, and in the dis
lance the Uhlan sometimes appeared to
them to be another almost Identical. The
constant white immobility made of him
aud his horse statue, an equestrian
statue, a marble statue. Soonthis writer
noticed that the Prussians had pity on
the animal, for every b our another horse
already saddled was brought out, and in
the midst of a frightful silence, and al
ways in the.presence of the officers, the
white Uhlan descended with an automat
ic bearing from the one which had done
lis task, TO mount the other, and their
stability was resumed for the terror of
these little folks.

The Duties of a Barber Set Forth
by an Expert craftsmen.
The intelligent barber looked
pityingly at a young man who
had just got shave and was TAX
ing his departure through the
door.
"Look at that gentleman's head"
he remarked with Indignant en-
phasis. every bump, in the
back and every scar he ever got
there in his boyhood is as plain as
the nose on your face. The trouble
is that he had his hair cut by some
barber who doesn't know his bust
ness.
There are dead loads of bar
bers," continued the speaker,
whacking his razor on the strap,
"who sing Johnny git your hair
cut short and don't know any
thing else In their trade. They cut
away a mans hair as long as the
comb'll take hold, and don't stop
until there isn't any more hair to
cut. A barber should never cut a
customers hair short unless he's
ordered to do so. Hair should
never be cut so as to disfigure
person. A barber should be some
thing Of an artist. He should feel
a customers head and find out II it
has any pronounced bumps, and
the hair should be raised to see II
any scars are concealed. If either
of these blemishes exist the hair
should be cut so as to hide them
as far as possible. The razor
should never be used, except
sparingly, on the neck. The hair
should be graduated gently from

neck with care and patience. 1t
