A FingerIess Family.

In q Lincolnshire family in England,
lives family who suffer under the GU
rious deformity Of being hngerless. This
popularity does not appear to be one
of those freaks of nature which may
appear In one individual, and not be
transmitted to the next generation.
From what can be learned, the singu-
larity has existed in the family so far
as history or tradition extends, and
there seems at present no signs Of It's
dying out, as the grandchildren are as
devoid of fingers as their grandsire.
The hands Of this remarkable family
present the appearance Of having had
the fingers amputated, or chopped off
roughly and unevenly below the second
joint, leaving short stump. There Is
no nail or hard substance, and were it
not for the absence Of anything like
cicatrice q casual observer would CON
clude that the defect was due to an ac-
cident; but, as though nature had at
tempted to compensate for the absence
or myers, the thumbs are aDnOfmally
large and strong.
The family are in other respects fully
endowed by nature, and do not appear
to suffer the disadvantages the absence
of fingers might be expected to entail.
One ofthe daughters, aged20, can write,
sew, knit, and is in every way as deX-
ferrous and accomplished as other girls
Of her age and station. When asked If
she did not find it awkward to be fin
gerless," she replied:
mo! If you had never had fingers,
you would not know you needed
them"
The only drawback that seems to be
occasioned is the curiosity the absence
of fingers evokes from strangers.

Many substances which will go into
the manure heap add nothing thereto,
but serve as absorbents, which save
the valuable portions Of the manure
and avoid loss.
Many fruits are not self-pollenizing,
and fail to give crop. The remedy is
not to depend on single variety, but
to have several kinds, growing them
close together whenever it can be done.
The keeping qualities of fruit should
be the first consideration. Size and
flavor are important, but some Of the
largest and most highly favored fruits
of all kinds will not bear shipment to
market as we'll as other varieties that
are inferior in quality.
1t is not how much feed can be con.
verified into some kind Of product. A
heavy feeder is considered by some as
an Objectionable ANIMAL but If the ami
NAL yields largely Of milk or butter it
must be able to consume and digest
large quantity of feed proportionately
A good place to throw the wood ashes
is around the peach trees Old bones,
that are apparently useless, can be
pounded and buried around the grape
vines. Refuse material and scrapings
from the woodpile are seryiceable il
used as a mulch around any kind Of
trees.
One advantage of a depression in
farming is the demand of the farmers
for some means of increasing their
profits, which leads them to the use Of
better stock and superior implements.
The remedy for low prices is larger
crops per acre and extra quality of the
products.
Many barns and stables VIII "a per-
nit cold draughts to come in through
cracks could be made more comforta-
Bile at small expense. A dollars
worth Of thick paper or a roll Of tarred
felt tackled securely to the wall would
add greatly as a protection against
cold winds and could easily be removed
when summer approaches.
1t is quite possible to feed bees in
the winter on sugar syrup, and to take
most of the honey in the fall. Sugar is
much cheaper than honey, pound for
pound, and honeyis more than half
water. The purest white sugar is used
and boiled to a thin syrup. This pre-
vents securing, which would otherwise
occur, and would be fatal to the bees,
as it produces dysentery.

1t should be said in praise of ST. Paul
that recent trip, including visits to
several other cities, of several alder
men, to investigate the garbage Ques-
ton, was not n junket at the public ex-
pense, A st. Paul newspaper says that
the aldermen paid their own expenses;
they exercised their own judgment;
they asked no favors either at home or
abroad, and they returned fully quail
fed to talk and act intelligently on this
important subject" This is indeed a
creditable showing, and it is so wide a
departure from common though scan
dalous custom that 1t should be ex-
plotted as evidence Of good citizenship

Gnnd Horses still Valuable.

Horses by the million, but Of small
value, are to be found in the United
States. Many believe that the days of
equine usefulness are about numbered,
except in a limited way, owing to the
wide use Of electricity as a motive
power, and to the bicycle as a road
ster." AS a result of present conditions,
horsellesh in most parts of the country
is very cheap, and many farmers and
breeders take gloomy view of the
situation. 1t is possible, however, that
the horse market, like the fruit market,
is overburdened with common stuff,
and that really good stock will still
bring a fair price. Apropos of this
view of the case, the Horseman, jour
nal able to speak with some authority,
says:
Dealers in fine carriage and draft
horses report great scarcity Of really
desirable individuals; in fact, many
complain that they experience much
difficulty in filling orders. AT the great
marts n superintendent supply of com
mon stock may be found any day of
the year, but good carriage or coach
horses, fine gentlemen's roadsters or
heavy draft teams are scarce and bring
fairly remuneratiVe prices"

Chicago citizens are induIging in
some wondering comment on the
prompt Arrest Of the three murderers Of
Policeman Duddles. If q private cltl-
zen is killed by fOotpads or burglars,
1t is a toss-up whether or not the MUIR
derer is ever apprehended, or IL he
does not escape on trial. But in the
Duddles case, word went out from
headquarters that the murdercrs must
be brought in dead or alive, and In less
than twenty-four hours they were all
in custody. The public draws u
strange inference that the life Of a blue
coat Is held in higher regard by the
police than that of private citizen.

KANSAS RAlLROADING.

The Santa Fe is arranging for har
vest excursions in February, March and
April.
The Seneca Courier Democrat says
that the Centralia, Seneca & Pawnee
railroad is all wind, and darn poor
wind at that.
The Rock Island will run another har-
vest excursion on February Is. Tickets
will be sold on February IL. The fare
will be one fare for the round trip,
plus So.
Hereafter that portion of the tariff
work which has been done in Chicago
will be done in the general Offices of the
Santa Fe at Topeka. To do this work
will necessitate the removal of num-
Der Of Chicago employees in that de-
partment to Topeka. This change is
announced for February l.
Some time ago the Rock Island madS
a rate of one fare for the round trip to
the meeting Of tho grand lodge, A. 3. &c
A. NJ, which will be held in Topeka,
February 19 to 81. The rate has been
extended for two days to apply to tho
State Oratorical Contest which will be
held in Topeka on the evening Of Feb.

The Chicago, Kansas &c Arkansas
Railway company has filed articles of
incorporation with the secretary Of state
at Topeka. The charter provides for
the construction Of railroad ZIG miles
in length from point opposite st. Jo-
seph, Mo-, to Little Rock, Ark. The
beginning Of the road is at point in
Doniphan county, Kansas, opposite st.
Joseph, Mo. The line, according to the
charter, 10 to extend south through
Doniphan county, thence through Atch-
ison, Jefferson, Douglas, franklin, An
derson, Allen, Neosho Crawford and La
bette counties. From the southern
boundary OF Kansas the line will be ex-
tended by the most direct and practi-
cable route to Little Rock. The privi-
lege Of maintaining and operating tel-
egraph line ia secured with the charter.
Capital: George T. Nicholson, goner-
al passenger agent of the Santa Fe, has
returned from visit to Chicago and
has nearly completed his preparations
to remove there February /. The su-
pervision of the general passenger bust
ness Of the Santa Fe will remain under
Mr.. Nicholson's direction. In addition
to that he will assist Passenger Traffic
Manager White in the administration OF
the affairs Of his department. Mr.. Mich
olson said, "I will take one or two clerks
and perhaps stenographer with me.
The advertising department. and Mr.
Simpson will also be taken to Chicago
and that constitutes tho removal. In
GLIDING myself there will probably be
five persons taken from the Offices here
Many people heve been saying that this
move was tho preliminary in taking the
passenger department to Chicago. This
is wholly without foundation. The mum.
Der Of employees that L have mentioned
are all that will be taken"

Fn11 Pasturing Winter Grain.

Some of our Western exchanges are
giving opinions about the effect of fall
pasturing winter wheat. We have
seen wheat that made too heavy a
growth in the fall, which was material
ly benefited by pasturing with sheep
while the ground was dry and before
the frost had injured the feed. Sheep
are better for this than any other
stock. They are light in proportion to
their feed, and their tramping over
light, porous soil makes it compact.
Then, what they eat off the fall is only
what would be u constant drain on
the root whenever the weather is mild.
The wheat grower wants alarge growth
in the fall mainly to get a vigorous
root. If the top growth is cut or eaten
OFF the root is none the worse for the
fact.-vAmerican Cultivator.

Bandits are becomlng extraordInarIly

Bandits are becoming extraordinarily
enterprising. Time was when they
were content to "hold up" individuals
and take what they could get. Then
they began "holding up" people by the
stageload, and when that became tame
they took trainload at a time, forcing
every one to give up his or her valua-
bles. That in its turn became too mild
u diversion for the more enterprising,
and then nothing less than an express
messenger would do them. Watches
and jewels were scorned, and they
would have nothing but cash, which
the messenger was usually compelled
to take from the safe in the express
car. 1t seemed for u short time then
as If the limit had been reached, but 1t
had not. Those old bandits took the
money, but they always left the SAFE
while u gang that appeared in Texas
recently took both safe and money.
And now it is hard to say where this
business will stop. Will they take the
car itself the next time? If so, of course,
the time after that it will be in order
for them to take the whole train. Then,
If it goes much farther, cities will have
to be kept in safety deposit vaults,

Captain Howgate's counsel pleads
the statute Of limitation in answer to
the indictments against his client. OF
course, for the statute of limitations to
bar proceedings 1t must run in such cir
cumstances that prosecution might at
any time have been able to lay hands
upon the delinquent. If the delin-
Quent is fugitive from justice the
statute does not run. Consequently
the Government responds to this plea
that Captain Howgate was a fugitive,
aid his counsel alleges that he was not.
Argument Is to be heard upon this in
n few days. 1t will probably call up
ard may ventllate all the details Of n
report heard from time to time that
during all the period when Howgate
was at large the Government was in
formed of his whereabouts and could
Lave taken him into custody, but re-
Trained from doing so because some
persons in Office did not care to face
the disclosures that would be insep-
arabic from trial.

Russia, it is reported, repudiates alb
solutely the notion that she should in
tervene to protect the Armenian Chris
tians from Turkish barbarity, and this
is quite naural and entirely just. Why
should Russia intervene? England is
responsible for the Armenian massa-
ores. She is morally and politically
just as much responsible for them as
she could be if she had planned and
executed them. They are part of the
inevitable consequences of what she
did when she, backed by Germany,
bullied and forced Russia into accept
ing the treaty of Berlin as a settlement
of the Kusso-Turkish war, substitute
ing it for the settlement of the treaty
previously made between Russia and
Turkey. If the settlement of that war
which Russia had compelled Turkey to
accept had been carried out, there
would never have been any more mas
sacres of Christians in Armenia. But
there would have been also an aston
ishing loss of British prestige, and so
England worked t. substitute treaty
OF her own making for the other and
succeeded. British prestige was saved,
but when Disraeli returned from Ber-
lin, having secured what was called
''peace with honor" he had uncon-
sciously provided for these very mas
sacres. England is responsible for them.
Why should Russia lift a finger to
tighten that responsibility.
