Immediately there was a violent explo,

escape with his life, but he suffers from

The apple crop in Kentucky was never
so great as this year. In some of the
mountain counties they are being re-
tailed at from to 10 cents a bushel.
In consequence of this abundance, apple
brandy distilleries are springing up like
mushrooms throughout that section Of
the state. There are now nearly 300 of
these plants in operation in this (the

AMERICAN Women GROWING larger

There are indications that the Ameri-
can woman is gradually growing taller
and larger, says an authority Certainly
there are more tall girls in Philadelphia
than ever before A few years ago the
average skirt length taken in the fash
ionable dressmaking establishments was
AZ inches, and AZ inches was the length
used for all model gowns sent over from
Paris. The model length has now in
creased to 45 inches, and the increase
in other measurements is in proportion.
The middle-aged American woman
shows an inclination to grow broader
across the hips and shoulders and stouter
and thicker through the arms; but the
college graduate, the university woman
and the debutante grow more gracefully
vigorous every year. The typical col
lege graduate is from two to four inches
longer from the waist down than for
merly. Her waist is getting longer, her
chest fuller and her limbs narrower.
The middle-aged women grow corpulent
and clumsy through Incidence and in
dulgent habits of life, while the ever
increasing tendency toward athletic
sports and outdoor exercise is improv-
ing the younger Of the sex. The statu
esque Juno type may yet express the

Paid His Tenants Moving Expenses.
A good story is told of a well-known
landlord who has been having any
amount of trouble during the hard times
to collect rents from his tenants. There
was certain man with large family,
who had occupied part of one OF his
houses in the suburbs for a number OF
years. The man was thoroughly honest,
but down on his luck. The landlord
bore the loss of his rent with consider
able fortitude until he thought it was
someone else's turn to help the fellow
little; then he went to him one day ana
told him, with all seriousness, that he
was intending to give the house gong
over; it was out of repair, and he had
decided to expend little money on 1t
and make some important alterations,
and, as it would be some expense Tor
the man to move, he generously offered
to order team for him and settle the
bill himself.
The matter was arranged with the ut
most friendliness on both sides, and the
landlord went his way, feeling quite lit
tie like the celebrated Pharisee. A week
later he asked his agent about some flats
that had been empty for month or
two. "All rented.'' said the agent, and
he named the parties, whereupon the
landlord Immediately descended to the
plane of publicans and sinners. When he
had recovered himself sufficiently to talk
English, he proceeded to inform the as
tonished agent that one of his acquisitions
was the man he had just moved at his
own expense out of the house in the
suburbs Hartford Comm Post.

When a soldier is confined in the
guardroom for an offense written copy
of the crime is invariably handed to
the commander of the guard. The other
day a non-cemmissioned officer and a
party of men were told off for certain
fatigue. The corporal having given an
order, one of the men seemed disinclined
to obey, when, after having rebuked
him sharply, he shouted in angry tones:

A Curious Coincidence.

Howell Cobb was big man in
Georgia. When Gen, Meade was run
ming" the state after the war there was
an issue Of postage stamps of rather
peculiar design: Gen: Cobb re received :e,
at Macon letter announcing the birth
of his first grandchild. The envelope
bore one of Gen. Meade's stamps. Last
year an 9-year-old boy in Athens read an
advertisement of New York stamp col
lector, and asked his grandmother if he
might go up in the garnet and rummage
through the old family trunks for stamps.
Her consent being gained he went to
work, and the letter to Gen. Cobb was
found, with the stamp on it. He wrote
to the collector to know what he would
give him for the stamp and received an
offer of 500, which he accepted. With
the money he bought wedding present
for his aunt, who was married the fol-
lowing day. This aunt was the first
grandchild of Gen. Cobb, whose birth
was announced to him in the letter to
which the stamp was affixed twenty-nine
wears ago. There are few such stamps
in existence now.-New York Press.

THE grand jury completed it's work on Friday. The members of the jury accomplished good work during their session. In their final report they make q few suggestions, but nothing new or of special merit. The sugges- ton that the Navajo Indian who mur- dered Lot Smith is still at large is repeated. Just how to lind out to the satisfaction of the proper govern ment official. as to the particular Navajo it was that is responsible for the killing of Bishop Lot Smith is a problem that the sheriffs have been trying to solve ever since the otfense took place. A number of the friends of the dead Smith are positive that it was certain Navajo, while on the other hand the Indians and govern meut officials are equally certain that the Indian had nothing to do with the killing. In the meantime the accused Navajo keeps within the boundaries oi the reservation and is safe from civil process. The conviction of the Ma vaio, even if the right one was brought 10 trial, is rather doubtful, and it is not likely ts@t the case will ever bt brought up in court. The effort tc catch the murderer has cost the officials great deal of energy and the county a good deal of money.

An invention which promises to be a boon to printers has lately been patented by New York man. It is composing stick which is held in socket, the socket being kept in place by belt around the body. The stick can be adjusted at ex- actly the right height. Thus the com positor will be left free to stick typs with both hands. This unique compos ing stick has also dev ice by which the type is guided as it is put in position, go that the compositor will not have to fol- low it with his eye. An arrangement of spring band and sliding plate also keeps each letter in place as the line is formed, so that the worker does not have to hold one letter with his thumb till the next one is set. The whole machine is simple. light in weight and easily adjusted.

FOR several years New Jersey has printed portion of its public docu- ments in German, Italian and Dutch, because of large colonies of these na- tionalities in several parts of the state. Last year it was found that not one copy of the German or the liai!an doc umcnts was called for, and only teW copies of the Dutch. The system will probably be abandoned, as it is very clearly demonstrated that foreigners settling in this country soon learn the language and prefer it to their own. Whenever foreigner is found who refuses 10 learn the language, one may count on him as an incompetent. The successful men always begin their sue cess hy acqn:;ring tEe language of the country ip which they settle.

"prisoners and Paupcrs."

Crime, poverty and disease are the three factors that multiply the sum of human misery. Henry A. Boies has given some startling facts in regard to the first two factors in his book "Prison CTS and Paupers." He has investigated the charitable, penal and reformatory institutions of various states Of the Union, and the fact that impresses him most forcibly in connection with them is the frightful waste of human sym pathy as well as of public funds"
 Certainly the time has come when for its own sake society must put out its hand and stop, by force the increase of crime and poverty. It is also time that a good deal of maudlin writing and speaking about the wrongs of the down. trodden classes was shut off. The down. trodden classes should be carefully strained through wire sieve, so to speak, and separated into d. t. who will work and d. t. who will not work under any circumstances. Really it would be best for the public welfare if the second class could be put upon an island all by themselves and left to work for living or starve.
 An alarming increase of criminals and paupers comes from our foreign popula- tion, MT. Boies finds. Within the last 1n yaorS o,,r cri i,ni,,o1o baya incraasaT RI per cent faster than the population. The cost of keeping up penal and charitable institutions has increased in proportion to population five times as fast. Is this to be permitted to go on?

SENATOR STEWART has written an- other open letter-the third within a
 month--to President Cleveland, the
 text being Mir. Clevcland's recent
 letter to the governor of Mississippi.
 Nr. Stewart is quite as sarcastic in
 this as he was in his other open letters.
 He tells the presidents; "i0ur treat ment of cnntumacIous office holders illustrates the benefits of civil service reform when you tell them that in the
 interest of good government office holders must not be surprised if they
 are summarily dealt wilh," and that ''the discovery you have made that the sales and purchases of the farmers and planters in a cheap gold market exactly balance each other and that what is lost by the low price of sales is gained by the low price of pur- ohases, solves the question and shows youp full comprehension of all the principles of econDniG science" But his concluding paragraph is the most cutting-it cuts his old republican associates as well as President Cleve- land In it he says: "Fear not. The Harrisons, the Shermans, the Reeds and the McKinleys will never be able to rally the goldites of the republican side to meet the gold forces com, manded by you in the contest you have inaugurated for the honor and emolu- ments of sound money, safe currency and civil service reform. Their in- direct methods served we'll in the past, while secrecy was the road to success. but will fail in the conflict now raging, while the mighty gold forces give battle in view of all men, where the thnid time-servers never appear. The hereditary rights of the descendants of Shylock are safe in your hands. Your decree of low prices and less wages for those who produce, and more gain and less sacrifice for those who absorb, will be executed by the power you command, while the trimmers and dodgers of the republican fold are confounded and paralyzed by your boldness and dash" It is said that MT. Cleveland has been very much irritated by these letters written by Senator Stewart, but there are prominent silver men who think they have not been beneficial to silver.
