The lesser number of inquests is ac-
counted for by the fact that one inquest
was sometimes held on several bodies as
in the disasters at the Silver Bow and
Glengarry mines.
The total expense of the coroner's Office
for the two years was $4,000 which was
divided as follows:
3uIy ices Sl,97i 30
hluess lees..'... NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. $3.50 10

- $40 90
During the two years Coroner Porter's
bill was only cut S127. Mr.. Porter con-
Quoted rs of the 13l inquests. Two of the
others were presided over during his alb
sence from the city by Judge Colman
and the third by Judge Naughten, and the
total costs in these three cases were
Sis5.65, which is included in the sttement
given above. The average cost of each
inquest was S7610.

INSECTS FRIENDLY TO MAN.
One Destroys Blight and Another Is
Death to Mosquitoes.

One Destroys Blight and Another Is
Death to Mosquitoes.
The lady bird, so quantity marked
that it is hard to find two of them just
alike, is one of the gardeners best
friends, yet hundreds ofsthem are killed
because people in their ignorance don't
know what a helper they have in this
buxom little insect A few days ago
the writer visited friend who has a
garden full of all sorts of flowers, and
back of these there is the kitchen gar
den, with rows of currants and rasp-
berry bushes. The leaves of both these
shrubs were covered with blight or lice
that were as green as the leaves on
which they lived and thrived Hunt
ing about the bushes were a number Of
lady birds The woman in her ignor-
ance was killing these right and left,
thinking they were doing all the dam
age, and when told they were her best
friends was incredulous. A few min
utes' careful watching, however,
showed the small bug busy eating the
smaller green pest. Small yellow pyra-
mids showed where she had laid her
eggs, which in day or two would
hatch. The woman saw and believed,
and in future the lady bird has a sure
refuge and a welcome in her patch of
flowers and fruit. Another insect that
is forever being killed, owing to the
ignorance of the general public, is the
dragon fly, also known as the needle
case. He is one of the most useful in
sects of this climate. In his larval
state he subsists almost entirely on
those small squirming threads which
can be seen darting about in any still
water, and which hatch out into the
sweet singing mosquito. AS soon as
the dragon fly leaves his watery nurs-
ing ground, and, climbing some friend
" reed, throws away the old she'll and
flies away, he is helping man again.
His quarry is now the house fly. Not
long ago the writer saw one of these
insects knocked down in a veranda,
where he had been doing yeoman's SER
vice, and the children and women
seemed delighted, although they shrank
back from the poor wounded dragon
fly. They all thought he had an awful
sting at the end Of his long body, a
cruel injustice When the writer took
the insect up there was general wonder
ment, which was increased when cap
tured fly was offered him, and he ate
it greedily. The boys of that household
will never harm a dragon fly again.

Mr.. Hardin gives dairymen the fol-
lowing good advice il Home and Farm:
If you sell butter, make in brick-shape
prints, with your initials stamped in it
or some other mark. Wrap each print
in parchment paper. This is cheaper
than cloth and keeps the butter bet
ter, besides many purchasers are sus-
picious of what use the cloths may
have been put to before using. Cheese
cloth is cheap, but the butter sticks to
it. Parchment paper is cheap, neat,
and presents a handsome appearance,
and comes off clean. 1t is impcrvious
to brine and will hold the butter if it
melts. Brick-shaped prints pack closely
together, so the air cannot get at the
butter, and they will take up less room
than any other shape. They are easy
to cut from for putting on the table,
as whole pound is too much for that
use, Nothing sells butter like a neat
appearance, so it pays well to take trou-
BILE with it. Build up trade in this
way and it will never depart from
you.

WOOLEN MILL PURCHAS E..
Mr.. j. G. FIsisIlnan Now Said to He Inter-
essed in the Matter.

Among the stories floating around
about the purchase of the wooden mill
which is to be put up by the sheriff next
Monday, is the one that has to do with
the purchase of the mill and machinery
by Topeka people which was published
in the JOURNAL.
1t has been ascertained that the To-
peka people who are contemplating the.
purchase of the mill are ]. G. Fleish-
man. one of the lien holders and George
Neal. a membe of the wooden mill COM
pany. Both are able financially to do
whatever they set out to accomplish.
& Mr.. Fleishman has said that he would
be one of a company to buy the mill and
operate it, and Mr.. Neal has said the
same thing, but they have not yet found
the third party to go in with them.
They were figuring on F. a. Brigham
being the other member of the company,
but Mr. Brigham is in the east and he
will not be present at the sale, and his
son, e. F. Brigham, who is il Topeka,
says that his visit has no connection
whatever with the wooden mill affairs.
It is also reported that people from In
dependence. Mo-. are figuring on buying
the mill.

SALIVA, Sept. 1O.-The manner in
which the police court of this city is
dealing with,the joint cases which are
brought before it and the regularity with
which the fine is imposed-and that fine
but one-fourth of what it is in the power
of the city authorities to impose-has
called forth considerable comment of

point strongly to the existence of an I'M

of the ordinance with reference to the
punishment of jointists after the first

and absolutely that the judge shall i'm
pose both q fine and Imprisonment for
every offense after the first.

English Literary Pensions.

3 Only $4,000 year is available for ad-
ditions to the civil list pensions of the
British government, and this sum can
not be exceeded, so that it is not posi-
BILE to make many additions to the list
in any one year, or to pay very large
pensions. The usual amount of these
pensions is $500 year, but this amount
is sometimes varied, though rarely in
creased. Among the new grants to lit
erary people this year, are $3.50 each to
the two sisters of Walter Eater, $500 to
the widow of Philip Gilbert Hamerton,
and the same amount to William Wat
son, the poet. George Augustus Sala
gets the same sum, and so does Prof.
Balm, the m&aphysician and psycholo-
gist, and Prof. NicholI and DR.. Guns
berg, who are pensioned as great scbol-
ars, Oriental and Biblical. A similar
pension is given to DR.. Jabez Hogg for
his services to medicine and science.
