Kentucky Mans Odd Name.

Chink Dollars was the name given by
a prisoner in the Paducah (Ky.) police
court a few days ago, and, so far as
could be learned, it was the mans &C.
tual and only name,
Sensible Way to Treat Prisoners.
California has a novel and excellent
way of maintaining discipline in the
state prison at Folsom and it is said that
the method is proving highly success.
full. There are no dark cells in the
prison, corporal punishment is unheard
of, tying up by the thumbs is never per-
mitted-in short, none of the old modes
of punishment are recognized in this
prison. The system in vogue is this:
When a new prisoner is received he is
informed that they have three different
bills of fare in the prison and that it is
optional with each man as to how he
lives. If he is industrious, orderly, well
behaved and in all things conforms
strictly to the rules of the prison he is
served with excellent food nicely
cooked. He can have chops, steaks,
eggs, tea and coffee, milk and white
bread; if he is only fairly well behaved
and does not do his allotted task proper
ly, is inclined to growl and grumble AZ
the regulations of the institution, he is
given ordinary prison fare-porridge
and treacle, soup and black bread, and
if he is very insubordinate he is allowed
to feast on unlimited quantities of cold
water and rather small allowance OF
bread. There is said to be an intense
rivalry among the convicts to enter the
'rst class and once there it is seldom
at one of them is sent back.-Paciae

some of them might be moderately serv-
iceable in war with any but first
class naval power"
How many vessels are there in the
Spanish navy that compare favorably
with the Indiana, Oregon, Massachu.
sets and Iowa?"
There is only one ship in the Span
ish navy that can be compared with the
Indiana class in our navy. The Pelayo,
launched in 1887, is of about the same
displacement, thickness of armor, and
speed, but carries in her main battery
two 12.6-inch and two 11-inch guns, as
against four 13-inch guns by the Indi-
ana. The Pelayo's secondary battery
consists of one 6.3-inch and ~ 4.7-inch
guns, as against six 6-inch guns by the
Indiana. They have six modern second
class battleships of 1000 tons displace-
ment, 1900 indicated horse power, and
90 knots estimated speed, launched in
1890 and 1901.
"The Cardinal Cisneros, Catalina, and
Princess de Asturas of G,64S tons dis
placement and the same estimated speed,
are still under construction. All six are
of the same general type, with narrow
water-line belt of 12-inch armor, and
carry two 11-inch guns in 101a-inch ar
mored barbettes, and 40 5-inch guns
protected by shields. They have one
ship, the Emperado Carlos ", of the
type of the New York, having 5000 tons
displacement and 20 knots estimated
speed, launched in 1895, and not yet
completed. She has no side armor ex-
cept a two-inch easement around the
upper battery, but has an armor deck
Of the same thickness as the New York's.
Besides these the only armored ships
in the Spanish navy are the Numancia
and Vitoria of 1000 tons displacement,
launched in 1863 and 1865, and carrying
muzzle-loadingg guns, and the Puigcerda,
a small monitor, built in 1874. All ex-
cept the latter are fitted with torpedo
| tubes. OF modern unarmored ships
I they have the Alfonso XIII. and Lepanto
of about 5000 tons displacement and 90
knots estimated speed, carrying -four
s-inch and six 4-inch guns; the Alfonso
XII, Reina Christina and Reina Mer
cedes, designed for transports, Of about
1900 tons displacement and II knots
estimated speed, carrying six 6.3-incl

Relics of the Stone Age.

A burying ground belonging to the
late stone age has recently been discov-
cred near Worms, Germany. Up to the
present about 70 graves have been ex-
amined, but not the slightest trace of
metal has been found. Arm-rings of
blue and gray slate were buried with
the bodies. In hardly single case was
there missing from the women's graves
the primitive corn-mill, consisting of
two stones, the grinding stone and the
grain crusher. The mems graves con-
tanned weapons and implements, all of
stone, with whetst9nes and bones for
sharpening purposes, ''s-sSsr. '--r-----

THE SHAKERS IDEAS OF MEDICINE.

Nowadays, when man COOS to his
doctor, he is usually told that he has
some unheard of disease with a long
name, and when he leaves the Office he
does not know whether it is ST. Vitus
dance or consumption that is gradually
undermining his health.
IL is therefore refreshing TO talk with
the Shakers, for their very simplicity
commands confidence and respect, and we
have the further satisfaction OF knowing
that they have devoted themselves TO the
study Of disease and its cure for more
than hundred years.
The venerable old man whom the writer
saw was only too glad TO discuss his pet
subject He said, that strange as II might
seem, very few doctors realized that three
quarters of the most prevalent diseases
were all attributable to faulty digestion.
He then went on TO say that child OF
average intelligence knownS that putrid
meat or decaying vegetables are poison
Gus, and must be avoided, and yet these
same foods, even if taken into the stOm-
ach in the freshest possible condition.
soon decompose unless digested and alb
sorbeC.
In such cases the resulting poisons en-
ter the system, when aches and pains,
weakness and debility soon follow as a
natural consequence.
1t was recognition of this that led the
Shakers to devote their energies to the
perfection of a product which would
stimulate the digestive organs and assist
them to perform their proper work.
The first symptom OF diSordered digeS-
ton is loss of appetite, and the Shaker
Digestive Cordial IS wonderfully efficient
in supplying any deficiency in this re:
spect, at the same time IL relieves all
distress after eating. Furthermore, as
was carefully explained by our venerable
friend, IL Is absolutely harmless.
Better evidence Of the Shakers conf
dence in it could not be found, than In the
fact that they have placed 10-cent sample
bottles in the hands of all druggists, as
sured that If once tried it will produce
such immediate and marked benefit that
II will be continued.

FILIBUSTERS ACTIVE.
Largest Expedition Ever Sent TO Cuba
Being Fitted Out.

The largest expedition ever sent to
Cuba since the revolution broke out is
now being organized in this city, says
the New York Recorder. 1t will be
composed of several ships, and its
chief object is to provide the army of
Gen. Maxine Gomez with artillery
The acquittal of five men accused of
violation of the neutrality laws in con-
nection with the Bermuda has encour-
aged the Cuban patriots in this coun-
try, and since then quite a number of
expeditions, said to have been fitted out
in the United States, have landed in
Cuba. 1t has not as yet leaked out
who will be the leader of the mammoth
expedition now in preparation, but it
was learned on good authority steam
ers would be sent to the Ramseys. None
of the Ramseys, either father or sons,
would acknowledge or deny that the
firm had been engaged to fit out men-of-
war for the Cubans.

THE AMERICAN FLEET.
It Gould Wipe Out SPANS Navy
in a Single Hour.
Instructive Facts Furnished by Commo-
dore Philip Hichborn, Chief Con-
structor of the Navy-Compari-
son OF Naval Strength.

The prospect of strained relations be-
tween the United States and Spain over
the disposition in this country to SYM
pathize with the Cuban insurgents gives
an interest to the relative strength of
the navies of the two countries in case
they should be led into armed conflict.
Commodore Philip Hichborn, the
chief constructor of the navy, gave some
interesting facts to a correspondent re-
garding the relative strength of the two
navies, although he refused to express
any opinion as to the prospect of war or
the merits of the situation in Cuba. He
furnished the following list of ships of
war which the United States will have
in commission by July 1, 1896, with their
tonnage:

Muskrats as Food.

In nearly every part of Berks county,
Pa, muskrats are used nowadays for
food, and are pronounced first-class
dish, says the Reading pa Eagle. Ten
years ago the idea of eating them would
have been scorned in nearly every sec
ton of Berks. The muskrat is great
deal cleaner with its food than most
other animals that have for years been
used on the table. 1t is claimed that
muskrat meat is a great deal finer to the
taste than that of rabbit.

In my opinion chufas are by far
the best and cheapest feed for hogs
we have in this land of plenty. They
have all the fattening properties OF
corn, and hogs don't tire of them as
they do of corn. proving that they
are most complete ration. The fat
taken on from them is almost as solid
as that taken on from corn. They
will grow in almost any soil, but the
best is rich sandy loan. Cultivate
the same as corn, in rows two 10 two
and half feet apart, one foot i'll the

Sufficient hay can be gathered from
them TO more than pay the cost of Gull

bushels nuts per acre on common poor
land, moderate cultivation, aud good
deal of dry weather. Am satisfied
they will yield 900 bushels on good
