Alexander Carr, the murderer, was
last week declared insane by jury at
Atlanta. Ga. He was under sentence
TO be hanged on Friday. but this Will
save him. Carr killed John King in
1894. The murderer soon began to
feign insanity For more than year
he did not speak a word. Experts
nronounced him victim of dementla-
But despite this he was convicted OF
murder and sentenced to be hanged.
One month ago, just few days
before the date set for his execution,
he broke his long silence and stated
that he had been shamming all the
time. The Governor gave him thirty
days' respite to see whether or not he
was sane. He was examined, and pro-
nounced insane. He will be sent to
the asylum. 1t is still question with
a great many whether he is sane Oh
insane.

Gladness Comes

With a better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort IN
the knowledge, that SO many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual DIS
ease, but simply to a constipated condl-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes Internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle. which is manufactured by the Call-
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. Ii
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skiliful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
| well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
| FIGS stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

ONE important statement was omit
ted from the republican platform, and
that was that the democrats intend
putting the negroes back in slavery.
This would have tailed we'll with the
statements that they wanted to destroy
the free schools, put the Dunkards in
the army, repeal the homestead, and
raise the rate of interest. Possibly
they forgot to mention also that they
would burn the churches. and kill the

Representatives Hall, of Missouri,
and Money, of Mississippi. came to
blows on last Thursday in the room of
the House Committee on Naval Affairs,
of which both are members, and from
blows to throwing heavy glass ink
stands. Money received an ugly cash
on the head from an ink stand thrown
by Hall, and was cut and scratched
elsewhere on the face by fragments of
glass. Hall was not struck by Moneys
missiles, and suffered no injury. Mr..
Money required the services of a
surgeon to sew up his cut. after which
he went home. Mr.. Hall, shortly after
the fracas, took his accustomed seat in
the House.
There are a number of versions as to
how the difficulty arose. but it seems
that while talking over a bill pending
before the committee the lie was pass
ed or exchanged and the fight began.

1t is of no advantage to feed hogs to an
excessive weight, writes N. ]. Shepherd
in Farm and Ranch. In fact, in many cases
after a certain weight has been secured,
further feeding is done at a Iessened profit,
and the longer it is continued the less the
profit. For some time the demand for ex-
cessively large hogs has been decreasing.
Customers want meat ina hog rather than
lard, and in a majority of cases a better
profit can be realized by crowding the
feeding from the start and marketing
when an average weight of about two hun
bred pounds has been reached. If proper
care has been taken in the feeding a bet
ter profit can be realized by feeding for and
selling at this weight than in feeding long
er. This is especially so at this season. 1t
is only in exceptional cases that it can
be considered advisable to attempt to fat
ten hog during the coolest months of the
average conditions to maintain animal heat
so increases the cost as to make winter
fattening less profitable than any other
season.
With hogs, rather more than with any
other stock, it is very essential to push
the growth from the start, and to sell as
soon as a marketable size and condition
has been secured, and generally the young
er this can be done the better.
Some animals will return a better per
cent of profit If sold at $50 pounds than If
fed until they are made to weigh $50 An
other hog will pay better to feed for
heavy weight than to sell young, so that
some Judgment is necessary in determining
how long It is profitable to feed. One thing
is sure and that is a steady growth must
be maintained, and whenever a hog ceas-
es to grow, it should be ready to market.
