A man was tried in Skowhegan Me-,
the other day for stealing two bushels
of unions. The council for the defence
held that as the testimony showed that
the unions were taken from the
ground they were part of the real estate,
and as real estate can not be stolen,
he would ask for the discharge of the
prisoner; and he went free.

In the successful breeding of horses
the breeder must be a lover of the
horse as the first requisite, and second
he must be a person of horse sense and
gumption, and when he has these
requisites he will be constantly study
ing the subject and getting what light
he can from the live stock journals,
and in his study of the animals under
his care will soon learn what foods are
best suited for each individual animal,
and thus feed 80 that his colts will
thrive and his horse will remain free
from disease, while his neighbor, lack
ing these requisites, will be constantly
having sickness and misfortunes,-

RECEPTION OF MIR. Ii.
Arrangements Progressing Under
the Management Of Ex-Sec-
rotary John w. Foster.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Arrange-
ments are progressing for the re-
ception of Ii HING Chang when he
arrives in this country on the 2Sth
inst. The Chinese Minister and
his suite will go to New York to
receive the Earl, by which title Ii
is known among the countrymen of
rank. Ex-Secretary John w. Eos
ter, who if now in the Adirondacks,
will be in New York on the Goth to
make preliminary arrangements
and will return there on the 9th
to take part in the reception. Be-
sides the visits to Washington and
Philadelphia which Ii will make
strong efforts are being made to
have his trip extended to Boston,
where reception will be given
him. The first arrangements were
such as to make the Boston visit
impossible, but it is felt among the
officials here that after his arrival
some changes will be made so as to
permit the Boston visit.
Gen. Miles and others, represent
ing various branches of the Gov
eminent, will confer with the
Chinese Minister hers as to the ar
rangements for the reception.
1t is probable an officer of the
army and one from the navy will be
assigned to meet the Chinese
statesman and accompany him on
his trip. 1t is probable, also, that
detail Of troops from Governor S
Island will take part in the recep-
ton at New York and that a troop
of cavalry from Fort Myer will as
sist in the exercises here.
At first it was intended to rent
an entire house in Washington and
equip it for the accommodation OF
the Earl and his numerous ritinue,
which embraces twelve secretaries
and many servants Owing, how
ever, to the shortness of the stay
here it has been decided to quarter
the gnest at hotel.
Ii Hung Chang is one of the
six richest men in the world.

A POPULIsT's
Answer to Bishop Newman of
the Methodist Church.

Bishop John p. Newman, of the
Methodist Church, appears to have
entered the political china shop with
the usual effect of the traditional bull.
He is credited with declaring in an
address at San Francisco that the
Populists of this country are no better
than anarchists and lack the elements
of good American citizenship, and his
speech has called forth indignant pro-
tests from many sections of the coun-
try. George w. Washburne, OF Bos-
ton, member of the Populist National
Executive Committee, himself devo-
ted member of the Methodist COM
munion, in an open letter to the Bish-
op, says: "Let me inform you that
80 per cent of the Populist party are
native born American citizens, COM
prising mostly the sturdy farming ele-
ment, which for years the statesmen
of both old parties proudly alluded to
as the bone, sinew and stability of
the country These men are iatelli-
gent, patriotic and true, and now are
called anarchists because they have
begun to think; and the result OF
their thinking will be surprise party
next November. Again, there were
more delegates in orr convention who
owned their own homes and paid tax
es than in that Of any other political
party. Lastly, the leading anarchists

and the Republican party, and defy

Spoons Free to ALI.

/ read in the Christian Standard
that Miss A. M. Fritz, Station A., st.
Louis, Mo-, would give an elegant
plated hook spoon to any one sending
her ten two-cent stamps. L sent for
and found it so useful that / showed
il to my friends, and made $13 in two
hours, taking orders tor the spoon.
The hook spoon is household neces-
sity. 1t cannot slip into the dish or
cooking vessel, being held in place by
a hook on the back, The spoon is
something housekeepers have needed
ever since spoons were first invented.
Any one can get sample spoon by
sending ten 2-cent stamps to Miss
Fritz. This is a splendid way to make
money around home.

Glover and Eggs.

Glover is as much an egg producing
material as it is producer of milk. II
.is rich in nitrogen and Mineral matter,
providing the hens with substances
that are derived from it in forms most
suitable for the purpose desired
Lime ia an essential substance in the
production of eggs, and there are some
who use oyster shells for supplying
the hens with lime, but clover con-
tains lime in soluble form and ready
for use. The variovs grains are def
Client in lime, and when the poultry
receive no food but grain it is impos-
sible for the hens to lay. When the
needed elements are supplied, and the
hens lay regularly, the carbonaceous
matter is appropriated by the eggs
but If the hens do not lay, they become
fat and remain in condition which
brings on disease.
Glover, by displacing grains, sup.
plies the hens with substances which
are lacking in grain, and also bulky
food for heating.
When the hens have the use of a
large clover field they should lay D
large number of eggs during the
whole season.-Poultry Keeper.

Chicken Cholera.

G. II. ID. states that his chickens
appear sick, look white around the
head, hold the head down, act sleepy
finally the head turns black and the
fowls die. The symptoms Indicate
real cholera. There is no cure for
those attacked. Select 20 or 80 of the
best that seem healthy and pen them
in roomy yard with dry, comforta-
BILE house attached. Sell all the others
that appear to be all right and bury
the remainder. Give those yarded a
variety of food with very little corn,
plenty of pure water, grit and coal
ashes or little charcoal. Keep the
house and yard clean and do not let
the fowls out until the ground..freezes.
If this seems too much troublelsell al
the fowls and start in again next
spring with good stock.

The Wheat market has shown lit
tie more steadiness with occasional
periods of positive firmness. Crop re-
ports from the west have not been so
uniformly favorable, an this has had
a slightly steadying effect. The time
is now at hand for building up of
public stocks, yet exports of wheat and
flour are fairly good. The Chicago
Trade Bulletin estimates aggregate
supplies of breadstuffs in Europe,
afloat, and in store in U. S. and Cana
da July equal to l37, $4,000 bushels,
or 22,S76,000 less than reported at this
time last year. Trade conditions
throughout the country are exerting
an influence on wheat as we'll as other
commodities, including the product of
manufacturers. So far as actual
movement of wheat is concerned, it is
moderate, but not large. The new
crop is moving slowly, little of it APP
pearing in the big distributing cities,
and old spring wheat in the northwest
has shown decreased movement.
Corn remains easy under prospect of
another immense crop, while oats are
firmer, owing to reports of unsatisfac-
tory yield in some of the most impor-
tant states.-American Agriculturalist

BAPTIST MISSIONS
In Kentucky For the Past Twelve
Years.

The past year, with its great finan-
cial depression. has not been without
some blessed results. There seems to
be growing interest toward having
the gospel preached in all parts of the
world. Special work has been done
in our own State; results have been
large and gratifying. Some figures
in DR.. Warder's annual report are
well worthy OF our careful study, He
says we have given in the past twelve
years for state missions $72,l75.S5 !;
for State Sunday schools, $33,47l. 80 |;
total for State Board, SlO5.647.15 |;
for District Missions, and Sunday
schools and colpertage, 05,237.13.
Total received for Kentucky Mission
work in IL years, S2lO,S79 50; receiv-
ed IL years for Foreign Missions,
$l43,OS5.16;; for home Missions, $751;
760.06 Total for all missions in IL
years, $445,725.20.
Baptisms in these years in our state
have been 1880, Weak churches
have become strong, but our work in
the home and foreign fields is not
what it should be.
FOREIGN MISSIONS.
Our missionaries in our foreign
fields send to us the tidings of 735
Baptisms, the largest number ever
reported in one year. Our home
board reports 1926 additions by bap-
tism and otherwise.
The work of our Mission Board is
growing larger all the while. Great
er responsibilities are upon us, hence
we urge our pastors and churches to
greater activitp in this noble work.

The Vulcan has always been 4 fruitful
source Of d~isquiet to the Canon City Fuel
Company. which operates the property.
ana for years the interior of the mine was
abandoned on account OF the spontaneous
generating OF gases that could not be
overcome. Fire for years deiicd the most
strenuous exertions of the operators to
extinguish ii and the workings were trans
formed into Il huge cauldron, into which
no one dared venture.
Despite its bad reputation. the company
maintains that if only an explosion oc-
CURED that was not followed by fire there
were frequent places IN the tunnels and
drifts for the men to seek refuge. But
the violent surface disturbance does not
tolerate the belief that anyone is saved
from the wreck. and miners have aban-
doned hope. The mine was running al
most to its full capacity owing 10 the fuel
war that has been waged in the West
and WAS shipping at the rate of ten to
fifteen ears a day.
Owing To the dangerous character of the
mine the miners were not allowed TO enter
the slope with any matches in their pos
session, but the rule WAS not enforced, for.
although death was imminent for anyone
v%enturing to strike a light. some of the
more ignorant miners could not bc taught
that their lives depended on the observ-
ance of the order and frequent attractions
OF the rule were reported ut headquarters.
