Good News from Missouri.

Robert Cornwell, a Barton county
(Afo.) farmer, living near Golden City,
after numerous experiments, thinks he
has succeeded in developing potato
that will grow without vines. They
grow entirely under ground, and will
do away with the fear of potato bugs,
which cost so much to destroy each sea-
son. not to mention the damage they
do. A field planted with the vineless
potato may be worked with the ordi-
nary harrow. Should the new potato
prove to be good producer, as Mr..
Cornwell hopes, it is likely to super
sede the present variety.

WEIeHTY BRIDES.
Girls Fattencd for the Matrimonial
Market of Tunis.

Throughout the empire of Morocco
and in Tunis there are villages where
the elder members Of the adult popula-
ton follow professionally the pursuit
of fattening young ladies for the matri-
monial market OF Barbary, says the
San Francisco Chronicle. The Moors.
like the Turks and mostother orientals,
give decided preference TO the moon
faced" wives over lean ones and are
more solicitous as to the number of
pounds which their brides weigh than
about the stock of accomplishments
they possess.
A girl is put under the process of fat
tening when she is about - years Of
age. Her hands are tied behind her and
she is seated on a carpet during somany
hours every day while her papa"
stands over her with a matraque, or big
stick, and her mother at times pops into
her mouth a BAH OF couscoussou or stiff
maize porridge. kneaded up with grease
and just large enough to be swallowed
without the patient choking.
If the unfortunate girl declines to be
stuffed she is conpelled,so that ere long
the poor girl resigns herself to the tor
ture, and gulps down the boluses lest
she should be beaten.
In Brazil corpulence is also consid-
cred the essential point of female beau
ty, and the greatest compliment that
can be paid to Brazilian lady is to tell
her that she grows fatter and fairer
every day.

A pretty and effective decoration for q
scarlet and white dinner given recently
was white anemones and branches OF
scarlet barberries. They were in clean
white glass vases, one at each end of the
long table. Sprays of small ivy were
laid across the table and tied with knots
of scarlet ribbons.
A piece of camphor gum is very good
indicator of what the weather is to be,
If, when the camphor is exposed TO the
air, the gum remains dry the weather
will be fresh and dry; but if the gum
absorbs the moisture and seems damp,
is an indication of rain.

1t is said that when ink is spilled up

CIVIL DEATH.



The statutes of New York provide
that the penalty of life Imprisonment
shall involve civil death for the felon
sentenced to it. This means that he
shall be deprived of his civil rights, par
tcularly property rights and the rights
resulting from family relations, as IL
he we're actually dead. Civil death
takes from the person upon whom this
punishment has been inflicted all that
he owned and transfers it to those who
would have received it if he had died
before his conviction. 1t affects his
contract rights in the same manner as
physical death. lie cannot, in this legal
condition, become an heir or obtain
property by bequest. The law depriyes
him of the legal rights of parent. II
he has wife she may consider her mar
rage legally dissolved, as if he were
dead, and contract another marriage.
Civil death was known to the Roman
law, and this term, according to Black
stone, was applied to certain legal con.
ditions in England. 1t is also known to
the French law and to the statutes Of u
number of our states. But there are
some doubts about the exact scope and
legal effects of the penalty. a life con-
Wet may be pardoued. That would GER
tainly not disturb or in any way affect
property rights or new marriage rela-
tons that had been established as a con-
sequence OF the civil death. But could
not the wife of a pardoned life convict,
in case she had not contracted another
marriage, claim the legal rights con-
nected with the marriage relation? 1t
is believed that this question must be
answered in the affirmative, and it
would therefore appear that the ex-con-
Wet, though he was ciyilly dead during
the term of his imprisonment, is still
bound by his former relations if ne has
not been released therefrom by an act
not of his own doing.
1t would seem that the law in a case
like the one to which reference was
made ought to require judicial disso-
luton of the former marriage before it
authorizes the wife or the husband OF
person sentenced to life imprison-
mont to contract newmarriage.-Buf-
falo Courier.

Cleaning Marble

1t is often the case that handsome
marble becomes almost hopelessly
soiled and stained and there is q de-
mand for simple and practical recipe
Cor restoring it, The following from
an excellent authority is highly com
mended: Take equal parts of OK gall.
powdered soap and pipe clay. and add
a little turpentine. Apply a coating to
the marble, and when thoroughly dry
rub it off and wash with warm soft wa
ter. This win cleanse without destroy
ing the polish. If the marble is badly
stained a second application may be
necessarily. Y. Ledger
