ut is familiar saying" said a New

people may live next door 10 each other

is true also of people living in even
closer proximity in flats. l have lived

however, you are pretty sure TO learn
the names of the tenants. You hear

WOULD ARM PRISONERS.
Governor Atkinson Strongly Condemns
Lynch Law.

Governor Atkinson Strongly Condemns
Lynch Law.
ATLANTA Oct. 28.-Mob law was Sc
verely condemned by Governor Atl<in-
son IN his message to the Georgia legis-
lature. which has convened here. The
message bristles with a scorching and
sensational attack upon the lawless
spirit that fosters lynch law in this
state.
He says that to exterminate the prac-
tice Of lynching the crime must be
made odious and shameful.
He advocates stringent legislation
against mobs and insists that the leg
islature pass a law laying every coun-
ty wherein such a crime is committed
subject to a large indemnity to the rel
atives of the mob's victim
The northern lynchers are spoken of
by the governor. on this subject he
says:
1T Is no excuse to say that the north
ern people, who have less to provoke
them to 1t. lynch. Let us not take them
as a standard but rather show a higher
type of civilization ia our state and
erect here a standard to which they
may aspire"
The governor is in favor of arming
the prisoners and allowing them to pro-
tect themselves from mobs. He says;
"The arresting officer is now clothed
with authority to take the life of the
assailants when resisting their efforts
to take prisoner frcm his custody and
II is his duty to take life II necessary TO
protect the prisoner and retain him in
custody This he should be required TO
do at the hazard of his own life, or the
! prisoner should be unsehackled, armed
and given an opportunity to defend his
life himself The knowledge on the part
of the mob that this would be done
would deter it from pursuing it's law
less purpose. and the law would be per-
mitted to protect the innocent and pun
| ish the guilty"

Some Points for Those Who Care for
Iloxxpr~

Some Points Tor Those Who Care for
Flowers.
The end Of August is late enough to
pot plants for winter blooming. Sc
lect young plants-those which have
not yet bloomed are the best. Slips Of
geraniums or begonias which were
started early in the summer should now
ne Of sufficient size to put into small
pots. 1t is a great mistake to overpot
plants. This overpotting only induces
an increased growth of roots at the
expense of the leaves and flowers Of
The plant. A pot three inches in diam
eter at the top is an average size to
use for well-rooted slips. If the roots
have become very large and the top
growth is small. a portion of the roots
should be pruned Off. A mixture Of
common garden soil or loan, peat or
black bog earth. sand, decayed leaf
mold and thoroughly rotted manure
make the best Potting earth. The pro-
portions are four parts leaf-mold. two
parts sand, two parts manure. one part
loan and one part peat. This proper
ton is good for geraniums and hello
tropes but many other flowers require
greater proportion of sand. while
roses and some ether plants require a
greater proportion of rotted manure.
and the peat may be omitted. Sift the
various kinds of soil thoroughly to-
gether in an ash sieve, so as to insure
their being powdered and well mixed.
Put few small pieces of brick or pots
herd in the bottom Of the pot with
some of the prepared earth, then put in
the rooted slip, and pack the prepared
earth firmly aroundit.
Examine all plants at this season 10
see If they are afflicted with either
aphis or plant lice, the scale or the
mealy bug. The best remedy for these
insects, according to recent authorities
Is an infusion of fir-tree oil soap and
warm water. Mails a strong soapsuds
with this soap and warm water and le;
the affected plants be immersed in IT,

utes. The new remedy for red spiders
is TO immerse the plant In water Of 12C
degrees Fahrenheit for Just one min.
nte, take it out, and in five minutes
jmmerse the plant again. A perfectly
safe and inexpensive remedy for plant
lice is tobacco smoke. Pour table

move the barrel. and if the work has
been successful all plant lice will hav,

fir-tree soap.

Southern Scotland and northern Eng
land are visited by multitudes of
strangers each year, and many get as
far as the Western Isles. Few of them,
however, are reminded of volcanic phe-
nomena, though columnar basalts, such
as those Of Fingals cave, may some
times suggest the thought of lava. Yet
for long periods Of time in the far
past this region has been covered with
volcanoes like Hecla, and lava sheets
like those of the Snake river. japan

Explanation OF Why "A Swelling FOL
lows from "A nlOw.
The swelling which follows from a
blow is natures effort 70 protect the
part from further injury and to keep
It at rest while repair is going on, says
the Philadelphia Times. Whatactually
takes place at the seat of injury is not
even now quite understood. The in
jury to the smaller blood vessels inter
feres with the flow of blood through
them and the white corpuscles, with
part of the serum. the watering part of
the blood, escape into the surrounding
tissues. At the same time the blood ves-
sells in the neighborhood dilate and the
increased flow of blood with the
thoroughfare obstructed increases the
swelling.
It is probable that the white corpus
cles of the blood pass into the tissues
TO assist in the repair, as bees or ants
assemble at an injury to their store
house, but with this difference, that the
substance of the corpuscles is probably
converted into the tissue of repair.
From one point Of view the human body
is only one gigantic colony of indiyid-
uals, and the swelling that follows in

Rise OF "a Familiar Article of House
hold Use Sold All over the world.
The first American clothes wringer
produced, which was put on the market
about 35 years ago, was a substantial
ard servieeable machine, but It's price
prevented its coming at once into COM
mon use. After some improvements
the price was reduced, but il is only
within 12 or IS years that the clothes
wringer has come to be the article of
common household use that it now IS.
The present price is about one-fourth
Of the original price. The present out
put of American clothes wringers Is
about 100000 annually.
Clothes wringers are made with rolls
of ten to twenty-four inches in length;
wringers larger than that are made to
order. Ten, eleven and twe,ve-irch arc
the sizes commonly operated by hand.
though IA and even 16-inch wringers
are sometimes used in that manner.
Larger machines are operated by other
power. American clothes wringers are
sold in many foreign countries. though
in some, owing TO natural and other
COnullluIs hpctlu-il dueclluR tNe use
of such appliances, comparatively few
are sold. Thus. while many articles Of
American manufacture are exported to
South American countries, there are
not many clothes wringers sold there
owing to climatic conditions. which are
such in most Of the countries that
clothes dry quickly there and wringers
are not much needed
Few American wringers are sold in
France. where washing is done COM
monty in wash houses. and few wiring
ers of any kind are used. In Germany,
Russia and all the scandinavian. .coun-
tries and In Great Britain American
wrlngers find q market. and they are
sold also in Australia. South Africa and
other foreign lands. They. cost more
than German or British wringers. but
they sell in competition with them. as
many other manufactured American
products do. because of their superiori-
ty Of workmanship and better adapta-
bility to use.-N. Y. Sun.

OIL better Than Coal FOR Many Pur-
poses.
Liquid fuel is coming into general
use among engineers, and there can be
little doubt that il road carriages are 70
be propelled by steam, the only fuel
admissible will be some form of pc
troleum, says the National Recorder
At a late meeting Of the Northeast
Coast institution in South Shields, Mr..
Il. r. Wallis read paper giving the
results of many experiments to ascer-
tain the caloric and evaporative value
of various oils as fuel for steam raising.
In comparing coal and oil he shows
that the value of each varies greatly
with the quality and circumstances
under which burned. oil doing from
one and half TO two and half times
the work OF an equal weight Of coal.
This is accounted for. first. by the COM
plete combustion of oil without loss Of
heat in SCOT or smoke; second, because
there are no fires TO clean with the
accompanying loss of heat and fall of
steam pressure, the pressure and
revolution of the engines being main-

are always clean and in the best condi-
ton for the heat from gases passing
through them TO the boiler, and fourth,
because the temperature Of the escape
ing gases may be lower than is neces-
sary TO create the draught necessary
for coal firing. There are no bars nor
thick fire for the air to force its way
through; the required amount of air
can be drawn through the furnace by
lower uptake temperature, and the
admission of air being under complete
control and the fuel burned in fine par
ticles in close contact with the oxygen
of the air, only very small excess OF
air is required. II occupies, more
over, only half the space needed for
coal.

PARIS. oct. est is understood that
the fundamental basis Of the difficulty
between France and Great Britain in
West Africa is that France declines TO
recognize the treaties concluded with
native rulers by officers of the British
Niger company until the text of such
treaties has been officially communi-
Gated to France by the British govern
ment. Thus the French goHernment
claims that many OF the treaties made
with African potentates in behalf of
France, take precedence over the trea-
ties negotiated in behalf of the British

FIGEL'S CASE
Nothing New in the Much Tangled
Case

SAN FRANCISCO, July 15.-Accord-
ing to the evidence so far introduced in
the Figel examination, the populations
of the young bookkeeper from the firm of
Hoffman, Rothchild & Co., have reached
almost $4,000. This amount is alleged
to have BEEN embezzled between the
months of December and June last, and
the amounts range from $3.50 to $780,
Edward S. Rothschild was temporarily
withdrawn from the witness stand to-
day in order that several witnesses from
the country might be examined and re-
leased from further attendance on the
court Their testimony went to show
that Figel had embezzled various sums
at different times as above indicated.
Almost the entire morning. session was
occupied in the wrangle that followed
the attempt of the prosecution to prove
defalcation by the circumstance of the
failure of Figel to credit Weinstock &
Lubn with the payment of $2286 made
to Hoffman, Rothschild & Co. on Deem
Der %, 1896. Only two witnesses were
examined other than Edward S. Roths-
child. and they were put on the stand
merely as matter of accommodation
to themselves. Rothschild was still on
the stand at the time of adjournment,
and cross examination had only just be-
gun by the defense.
Nothing startlingly new was elected
today, the day being largely devoted to
an attempt to show that the check of
Weinstock & Lubin had been used by
the defendant to cover up previous de-
falcation, and that there was another
matter of $3.50 that had been made away
with in the same mysterious manenr.

Stole the Child

SAN FRANCISCO. July 15.-Attorney
J. c. Mckee and a client are accused in
an affidavit filed today with the county
clerk by Anna May Gift, divorced wife
of Frank Lee Gift, of having conspired
with her husband to secure from her by
fraud and intimidation document re-
leasing her claim upon Gift for alimony
which had been awarded to her by Judge
Slack. The bone of contention between
the Gifts has been the custody of their
minor child, Howard Lee Gift. The orig
inal decree of divorce was entered Feb
ruary rs, 1885, and awarded the Gus
tody OF the child to the mother Suisse
quently an order was made giving the
father the custody of his child at certain
times. Mrs. Gift on May 20 requested
her husband to be permitted to take the
child with him on visit to parents in
Gilroy. The child was not returned at
the agreed time, it is alleged and Mrs.
Gift instituted an inquiry. which de-
veloped. so 1t is stated, the fact that Gift
had taken the child to his fathers house
in Alameda and thence out of the state
to Arizona
