LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Low wet lands are no place for sheep.
The footing of sheep must be dry.
1t is an old adage that there is gold in
the track of the sheep. but it seems TO be
covered up these days.
The first one hundred pounds of a
sheep cost less per pound than the
weight afterwards added. 1t does not
pay to feed sheep too long.
The practice on some farms of throw
ing corn and stalks to the hogs so that
corn is before them al the time is bad.
Feed no fattening animal more than it
vii eat up clean.-Fsrmer's Voice.

Insurance Companies Are Chary About
Reinsurinx Delayed Ships
Reinsuring risks on vessels long over
due and supposed TO be lost is game of
chance in which speculative marine un-
derwriters have been INDUCING. One
OF the vessels on which such big odds
have been taken, says the Philadelphia
Record, was the British bark Command
er. which sailed on April II from Chit
TAGGING, India, for the West Indies and
the Delaware breakwater, and has been
given up as lost. Both vessel and cargo
were insured as ordinary risk at the
rates then current for vessels trading
on long voyages. After three months
had elapsed without the arrival of the
vessel the original insurers placed their
risks with other companies. paying
twenty guineas premium and escaping
the payment of total loss. Those who
took the new risk became alarmed at
The continued absence of the vessel, and
TO protect themselves they reinsured
the vessel and cargo at forty guineas
premium. AS the loss of the vessel now
appears TO be beyond doubt those who
last took the risk viii be called upon to
pay total loss.

Spencer, which sailed from San Fran

the Star of Austria, which sailed from

and the vessels and cargoes are being
reinsured at seventy guineas premium.
Seasons in south Americ..
A Philadelphia recently returned
from an extended tour of South Amer
lea tells IN interesting story of the
queer climatic conditions prevailing in
certain parts of the lower half of this
continent "of course, it is pretty we'll
known" says he, that while the peo-
pie north of the equator are suffering
the rigors of winter, those people liv-
ing south of that imaginary line are in
the midst of summer. and vice versa
This rule, however, so far as South
America is concerned, applies only to
the coast, for in the mountains of the
interior peculiar condition of affairs
exists Up in the Andes the natives
are in the midst of winter when mid
summer prevails on the coast, and
when winter reaches the coast it is
summer in the mountains OF course,
neither the coast nor mountain winter
is very severe, but the distinction be-
tween the two seasons is decidedly
marked. 1t is a very remarkable eli

Hiss Cunningham Did Not Say Durrant Con-
fessed to Her
Mrs. Mooney was seen last evening by
q representative from The Herald regard
ing q sensational story published in tn Q
Record. the details OF which sh. was al
legged to have supplied. In brief, the
story was to the effect that Miss Carrie
Cunning ham, the Examiner reporter, who
Is friend Of Mrs. Mooney. had related
to her the circumstances of an alleged
confession she had got from murderer
Durrant.
In the purported interview, Mrs.
Mooney was reported to have said that
Miss Cunningham told her that one day
she went to Durrant's cell and that he
appeared very nervous. and finally he
broke down and confessed that he had
murdered Blanche Lamont. He taen
asked Miss Cunningham what he should
DO, whether plead guilty Or no. and sh 9
had said she could not advise him. He
afterwards realized that lie had incrim-
mated himsslf, and begged SO piteously
thai Miss Cunningham prom ised not 20
betrAy him. The article further said
that Miss Cunningham had bound Mrs.
Mooney to secrecy.
When shown the story Mrs. Mooney be-
had not made any such statements. The
reporter had. she said, weaved the fairy
tale around one utterance which she had
made in the course OF few remarks they
had passed regarding Miss Cunningham.
NOW, in the first place, said Mrs.
Mooney "Miss Cunningham did not bind
me to secrecy, or l should not have re-
peated any hing she said to me. In the
second place what did say to the Rec
ORD reporter was only what is public
property. told him that Miss Cunning
hxH had said to US that Durrant asked
her whether he should plead guilty and
throw himself on the mercy OF the court.
Miss Cunningham replied that she could
not give him any advice, and that he
would have to consult with his attorneys.
This is all that said about the reported
confession, and whatever else has been
made of the interview is incorrect.
II also regret that any such an article
was printed, for 1t will place me in an
EN- barrass,ng position with Miss Gun
ningham."

hal an interview with the secretary of

Mr.. Cham berla,n promised to submit 20

of the dependencies it might be necessary
to make their prosperity less bound up
in sugar planting. He referred hopefully
to the prospect for eoldmining in British

there was no choice of getting the house
of com No ons to sanction countervailing
duties to force foreign governments to
stoo giving sugar buunties.
Continuing, MIR. CHAMBERLAIN said:
