which the little dogs sleep are warm

freshest and cleanest of stlaw in which
to lie. There are fifty-fve dogs in
these kennels, and almost all Of them
are acquainted with the Queen. She
visits them often while she is at the
castle, and she looks carefully after
their health and comforts. The dogs
of Windsor Castle keep regular hours
They are turned ut at a certain time
each day for their exercise and sports,
and they have a Number of courts con-
nected with the kennels upon which
they scamper to and from over green
lawns. There are umbrella-lik af-

SUI TI.NG Nv JAMAICA.

The natives of Jamaica have no need
to buy soap, for the woods abound IN
plants whose leaves and bulbs supply
very We'll the place of that indispensa-
BILE article. Among the best of these
is the soap tree, so called, though it is
more bush than tree. Its botanical
name is Phalangium Pomeridianum.
It's bulb, when rubbed on wet clothes,
makes beautiful la'her, which smells
much like the common soap.
I he Jamaica negros, some Of whom
are great dandies in their wav, make
soap out of cocoanut oil and home
made lye; and fine soap it is, smooth
and fragrant. This cocoanut-oll soap
Is used for shaving.
When a man wishes to shave in the
morning he starts out with his cocoa
nutshell cup and his donkey-tai
brush and bottle. 1t is never any
trouble to find an empty DO tie in
Jamaica, even in the mountains. At
least twenty generations Of thisty
people have lived there, and thrown
away the empty bottles.
The man carries no mirror, becaus
he has none to carry Not one negro
cabin in dozen has even cheap
looking glass. But nature provides
he mirror as well as the soap. The
man goes to a convenient pool in the
mountain stream, where the water is
still, and there is his mirror. He
breaks his bottle on stone and picks
out a good sharp piece. Then he
fathers his face profusely and begins
to ecrape away with his piece of glass,
which works almost as we'll as a sharp
razor

KANSAS CORN NOT IREMENpous
Crop the Largest in the States History
with One Year's Execution.


Topeka, Kan, Nov. 13.-(SpeciaD-

today its final crop bulletin for the
year. in which the item of foremost in

vised their estimates made in June or

conditions prevailing at that time; also
to those who in the face of facts plain
TO the careful. unbiased observer have
loudly insisted that the output would
be double what the men who raised and
who are harvesting it-and who of all
others must know-now declare. This,
however, need not suggest that Kansas
has not a great aggregate of corn; more
with one exception than in any previ-
Gus year Of her enormous crops and
more than is needed to handsomely
maintain her proud position as one of
the four banner corn states of the
world. The total product is POI ,457, 1896
bushels, an average yield on the entire
area planted Is, 394, 81 acres of twenty
four bushels per acre. The average
price Of corn for the year is given as
% cents per bushel, and the price at
which it is being sold or contracted (de-
hvere0 now in the principal corn coun-
ties ranges from 16 to p cents and av-
erages is cents. Thirty-three per cent
of the crop is reported as likely to be
disposed Of at the latter average by the
close Of the present year. The quality

THE TRAMPs FLOCK TO SHELTON.
On Tuesday morning six men were
brought before the town court who had
reposed In the lookup the night before
as Migrants. Two were discharged and
the others were sent to jail for 30 days.
One Of them claimed to be resident of
Bridgeport and had a wife there, that
they we're living on Henry street and
that he had been at work in Torrington
and was on his way thither. Reference
to the Bridgeport directory failed to
show such name and telephone in
quiry to Chief Birmingham Of that city
received the response that they did not
know such man. On arrival at the
Jail he was well known there, was an
old rounder, gave false name and had
no wife on Henry street or any other.
Another Of the quartet had been in the
jail for year and had also been in
states prison. He claimed to belong In
Hartford. These arrests have had one
designed effect, to keep the tramps away,
and for few nights past they have not
come here, having heard the news from

THE LICENSE QUESTION.

The result of the remonstrances to the
liquor applications before the commits
sioners was that licenses were granted to
Thomas Finn, Thomas Hogan and
Thomas MCGUIRE and refused to John Fl.
Donovan. The latter was surprise to
many, as he was recommended by many
OF our best citizens, while only one re-
monstrant appeared before the commis-
sioners. His reasons for opposing were
that the law was violated there during
no license years and that owing to the
large numbers Of school children passing
there daily as well as women and fac
tory operators and Of being located very
near to several factories, that It was an
unsuitable place and the commissioners
sustained these objections.
