And still there are none in Ard

the mystery surrounding the Ledbet-

of Mr. Ledbetter on The judgeshiD

To 'eepen the sUTour lings il Is
only necessarv L. ~ay that Mr.. Bed

te- f-om Mr.. Ledbetter in which he
denvi.nces the assertions Il Mr.. Ciuce
as false. while NJ. Herbert yesterday
afterno-n received one from Il. W.

the sentiments of the frieads Of both
gentl,men when il says they are get

and deuials. If Mr.. Ledbetter is, or

FARM AND GARDEN.
EMPLOY THE ooNvIcTs.
A Suggestion from Canada Worthy of
Most Serious Consideration.

A Suggestion from Canada Worthy of
Most Serious Consideration.
One of the most serious problems be-
fore the practical prison reformers of
the day is to provide profitable employ
ment for the men under sentence.
Idleness is bad for the prisoner, men,
tally, morally and physically.
The Montreal Star suggests one way
to get good roads, and ut the same
time solve the question, in the follow
ing article:
Now, why not empty the prisons
upon the roads? Not in any way or in
any place that will make the prison
ers feel the sting OF disgrace. To
pillory man is poor way to reform
him. The chief end of the modern
prison system must not be forgotten.
We ought to graduate citizens and
not improved criminals from our jails.
But what better way to bring out his
manhood than by letting him do work
which he knows to be useful in the
open air in a quiet country district
where he seldom will see anyone and
never anyone who knows him? Care
should be taken, of course, in choosing
the men for this work. 1t will not be
expedient to permit every prisoner
sufficient liberty to do it as must be
done here. We can have no chain
gang ignominy about it. A chance to
join these road building parties might
be made reward for good conduct; so
that it would have double beneficial
effect-one in the men who go and the
other in the men who stay. The pub
lic-spirited phase of the scheme would
appeal to some prisoners; for did not a
prisonful down in New Brunswick ask
leave to save subscription out of
their rations for the Newfoundland
sufferers? The party could never be
larger than the jail accommodations
in the immediate neighborhood and
the fullest car must, of course, be
taken to pro the people from so
much as the fear of trouble. A careful
selection of the men to go would help
to render this part of the task easy.
The farmers would be rewarded with
better roads; no industry would be in
terfered with, but, on the contrary,
the marketing of the farmers produce
would be facilitated; the prisoners
would be hugely benefited in every
way, and the greatest bar to prison
reform removed. The extra cost, if
anything, would be mere bagatelle;
and as there is no money to make
roads, no one could object that men
outside of prisons ought to be given
the work.

BETTER Road Laws Neede,.

The road tax system of personal
service or communication is unsound as
a principle, unjust in its operations.
wasteful in its practices and unsatis-
factory in its results Some system
should be devised, based upon prop
erty, and property owners should
not he exempt on account of age. AS
Che case now stands, some families es-
cape any road tax, year after year, all
of the members being either too young
or too old, but they are abundantly
able to do their share and use the
roads quite as much or more than any
one. In the meantime their poorer
neighbors, tenants it may be, or young
men without land, must leave the
crops in critical condition, at the
whim and convenience of the road
master, Often the worst piece of road
is untouched and bit suiting the road
master or his friends is worked after a
fashion.-Farm and Home.

New Bread Pudding Recipe.

A new recipe for bread pudding has
been found and is presented with the
Endorsement of being worth place in

keepers cook book: Soak one pint of
fine crumbs in pint of milk until soft,
add three tablespoonfuls of cocoa dis
solved in a little water, three we'll
beaten eggs, n half cupful of granu-
lated sugar and another pint of milk.
Set the pudding dish in a pan of hot
water and bake one hour. Whipped
cream favored with vanilla Is very
good with this pudding, or a sauce
made from scant cupful of sugar, a
tablespoonful of corn starch and a
cupful of water may be used. Cook the
ingredients in double boiler ten min
utes, and just before serving add an
ounce of butter and half teaspoonful
of vanilla.

Cooperation in Fruit Culture.

The possibilities of united effort in
the line of fruit culture were shown in
n recent article by member of the
Ontario Fruit Growers association. He
recommended the meeting together OF
ten, twenty or fifty farmers in neigh
borhood. to form a cooperative soci-
ety." each one agreeing to plant within
the next five years ten acres of orchard,
the varieties to be few in number and
all suited for shipment; to properly
study and carry out the care of their
trees, and when the time should come
for fruit-bearing to unite in sending
their apples forward under their own
brand to the English market, having
their evaporator for the windfalls, and,
II necessary, their central frost and
heat-proof storehouse at the central
shipping point

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being we'll informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

THE DUCK FARMS OF CHINA.
Some Queer Sights on the Rivers of 500
Chow.

Some Queer Sights on the Rivers of Soo-
Chow.
We expected to see something won
derfully fine when we reached 500
chow; for does not the ancient proverb
read: "Above are the halls of Heaven;
below are Soo-chow and Hang-chow?"
But we only saw what afterward
seemed to us a typical Chinese city,
and it is not to the cities that / would
especially recommend sight-seers to
go. The fame and splendor of a Chi
nese city lie not upon it's being any
cleaner than others, or upon its having
wider streets, but upon the wealth
of its merchants, the number of its pa
godas, the gorgeousness of its temples,
the beauty of it's tea gardens, and the
like. Thus Soo-chow is great, and its
women are called the bellies of the
world. There the floating duck farms
and the multitudes of river craft in
terested us most. In a quiet reach of
water beside the walls we saw many
fiocks of ducks, each containing five
hundred to a thousand birds. The
shores were covered and the water was
alive with them. The herders sat idly
/ 81 'iiiuAi DOdbos NihC bhO uuShS o"obA
freely about, each flock making a
tremendous brown spot upon the
water. We watched to see one flock
join another, and see how the owners
would separate them afterward, but
they did not join forces, and l doubt
! whether they ever would. The brakes
! led their followers away whenever two
herds came too near. On another day,
near Soo-chow, we saw duck farm
bigger than all these put together.
What would the reader think of see
ing farmer travelling to market with
as many ducks as could be crowded
into more than the space of the park
between the city hall and the post
office in New York City-a mass of per-
haps two city blocks of duck flesh and
feathers? That was what was driven
past us on the Grand canal one day.
Two men in two boats were driving the
ducks before them, all as thick upon
the water as they could swim. Each
man carried a long slender bamboo
rod with the heart of a palm leaf on
the end of it. With this he kept the
red and gray squawking mass in order.
He whipped back into its place every
duck that sagged out of the mass, or
that Jagged behind, or showed dispo-
sition to make for the shore. Suddenly
several boats came along in the oppo,
site direction-a big chop boat and two
or three smaller vessels. They were
sailing swiftly before a fresh breeze
directly down upon the acre or two OF
ducks. There seemed no way to pre-
vent terrible slaughter of poultry.
The big chop boat, like house blown
before the gale, sped toward the ad
vancing feathered host, and at last the
birds that were in the way were almost
under her bows. Then a futter seized
many square yards of ducks, the i'm
mense flock broke apart, a crack in il
opened before the chop boat and
widened until the boat swept through
canal that divided the flock. Not
one duck was run over.-Julian Ralph
in Harper's Magazine.

Telling Ago by the Colrrure.

The common objection among wom-
ankind to letting their age be known
is not shared by the ladies of Japan,
who actually display their cycle of
years in the arrangement of their hair.
Girls from o to 10 wear their hair inter
laced with red crepe in semi-circle
around the head, the forehead being
left free with curl at each side. From
the age of 10 to 80 the hair is dressed
very high on the forehead and gath
cred up at the back in the shape of
butterfly or fan, with twistings of silver
cord and perhaps decoration of col
ored balls. Beyond the milestone of 80
a woman twists her hair around shell
pin placed horizontally at the back of
the head. Quite. differently, again, a
widow arranges her coiffure, and the
initiated are able to tell at a glance
whether she desires to marry again or
not.
