The evidence of two of their chief wit
nesses Was almost destroyed. Mary
Siemmering and William Charles.

sufferers. Witness after witness came
on the stand and swore that when
Mary Siemmering had denied that she
had admitted improper relations with
Luetgerr she had not told the truth.
They said She had admitted it and in
the most uneQuiyocal terms. Most
of these witnesses we're members of the
grand jury which had indicted Luet-
CERT, and their evidence was crush
ing. They all told the same story and
the most desperate efforts of the de-

efforts TO save the character OF theil

Poultry Notes.

Cayenne pepper is doubtless bene-
fetal to poultry, especially in winter,
provided of course it is used with prop
er limitations. A teaspoonful, twice a
week, for fifty fowls is an abundance.
Still less will be required in summer.
There is no use in OVERRIDING the thing,
and one had better use no stimulating
spices than to feed an excessive
amount. The only idea is to warm up
the system in cold weather, ward OF
colds and chills, and promote digestion.
a little pepper is good. Too much is
an injury. Snow is with US and the
poultryman will have considerable
work on hand, not only to shovel paths,
but also to open up areas where the
fowls may come out, and exercise them
selves. A hen is very helpless in deep
snow. She cannot walk. nor can she
get upon the wing without much trou-
bic. Hence it is quite important to
provide small space which has been
cleared OF snow. The snow that is to be
moved may be appropriated to bank

Venus Fly Trap and Its Almost Human

Venus Fly Trap and Its Almost Human
Action.
i Now and again, in exploring Amer
lean woods and swamps, botanists
have come across floral curiosities that
almost bridge over the great gulf that
divides the animal and vegetable king
doms, says the Designer. One of these,
to be met with nowhere in the world
save in North Carolina, is scientifically
classified as dionoea muscipula, but
IS colloquially known as Venus by
trap. In appearance the extraOrdl-
nary plant is prettily but unassuming-
ly the leafless flower stem, running
from six to eight inches in height and
surmounted by cluster of five petalled
blossoms, rising erect like a rosette-
like bed of leaves 1t is in the edge of
the leaves that the death dealing
apparatus is set-for this modest little
plant, which is so delicate that it dies
of the slightest injury to root or stem,
sustains its life by feeding upon the
unWary insects that chance to alight
upon its leaves, enticing them to their,

what resembling honey. The traps.

impossible. Under the stimulus of the

juices of its victims, but one or two
expert florists take exception to this
statement. It is worthy of note that,
although the habit of the plant is car
nivorous, experiments have proved that

so inclosed that no insects can reach

lower prices have prevailed. The un-
usually large production of milk, and
therefore Of butter and cheese, was
caused by the favorable weather con-
ditians throughout the summer and
early fall. The year has been without
precedent for good pasturage through
out the hot season, and in consequence
there was little decrease in the make
OF butter until the latter part of Octo-
Der. While in former years there was
a large falling off in the make after
June, enormous quantities of June but
ter were placed in cold storage in an
tlcipation of the higher prices that
come with lessening in the make,
and as the supply of fresh stock kept
up through the summer he.sders Of
! storage stock grew anxious, suit the
fail developed a good demand for it,
| and the year 1896 closed with cold
storage goods well cleaned up. Much
| of this oyerproduction of butter found
a ready sale in foreign markets. Hand
! lers Of butter are constantly on the
| lookout for markets in which to ad-
ter. The causes of increased produc-
and the export trade was factor to-
ward that end in the last year. This
trade is growing, as is shown by the
fact that in 1895 the United States e1-
! ported 15,647,500 pounds, and in 1896
sent abroad 26,32O,oOO pounds of but
ter. The causes of increased produc-
ton of butter apply also to the large
make of cheese in 1896. But in addi-
ton to this the passage of the filled
cheese" law was of incalculable value
to this industry, and also of great ben.
eft to the entire dairy interests of the
country. While the data at hand show
a marked Improvement in the con-
sumption of cheese at home, there has
been but little more exported in 1896
than in 1895. Through and local re-
ceipts of butter, cheese, eggs and poul-
try by months for the year 1896:

DYSPEPSIA PROOF.
The Eskimos Defy All Laws of Hygiene
and Thrive.

and Thrive.
Much is said about American dyspep-
STA, but there is one native race of
America that is certainly not greatly
troubled by the modern curse, says
Popular Science News. The sturdy
little Eskinnos defy all the laws of
hygiene and thrive. The Eskimo,
like the ordinary dwel1er in America,
eats until he is satisfied, but there is
this difference, that he never is salts
fed while shred of the feast remains
unconsumed. His capacity is limited
by the supply, and by that only. He
cannot make any mistake about the
manner of cooking his food, for as a
rule he does not cook it, nor so far as
the blubber Or fat of the arctic animal
is concerned, about his method of eat
ing it, for he simply does not eat it;
he cuts it into long strips an inch wide
and an inch thick, and then lowers the
strips down his throat as one might
lower rope into a we'll. And after
that he does not suffer from indiges-
ton. He can make meal off the flesh
and skin of the walrus, provision so
hard and gritty that in cutting up the
animal the knife must be continually
sharpened. The teeth of little Eski-
mo child will meet in a bit of walrus
skin as the teeth of an American child
would meet in the flesh of an apple.
And that when the hide of the walrus
is from one-half to one and one-haIf
inches in thickness and bears consid-
cradle resem blance to the skin of an
elephant. The Eskimo child will bite
it and digest it, too, and never know
what dyspepsia means.

What One Boy Did.

although we have spoken several
times recently on the subject of poul-
try raising by the young folks, we can
not refrain from telling the boys and
girls what gentleman in this city told
US not long since about his boy, says
the Poultry World. This account was
such an apt illustration of what we
have recently endeavored to impress on
cur readers that we will give it to
them. At the age Of ten years this boy
began keeping poultry. His father
built him fowl house for which moth
ing was ever paid by the son, but this
was the only expense which was not
borne by the young fancier himself.
He kept White Leghorns and his spare
time out of school was devoted to car
ing for and enjoying the. flock. He
worked at the business and it was good
for him. It taught him regularity and
involved responsibilities in seeing that
his pets did not suffer. When he reach
ed the age Of twenty he went into
his fathers Office. His bank book at
that time showed a balance in his ia.
vor of $1,000, cleared from his poultry
while he attended school, Those who
think it mot worth the trouble may
ponder this result with ,edifcation to
themselves. That one thousand dollars
was worth more than one hundred
thousand cents to the land. It repre-
scented more than money. It was ma
terial evidence of much that could not
be expressed in dimes and dollars. To
begin with, it associated health and
!, vigor with its owner. Business habits
also were necessarily formed in the
course of that decade which would be
useful in future. Independence was in
Dictated, sense of being of some i'm
portance and the means of doing for
himself were accompanying features.
All these are worth much, and many
worried father and distracted mother
who wish that the boys had something
to do chat they like to do and amount
to something would do well to follow
the course adopted by his father.
