When Rev. j. J.. James, of Elwood,
Ind, went to Chicago, the other day,
he was determined not to be done out
of his money by any trick or device
on his way to that city or while in it.
By holding himself aloof from all
companionship in the train he got to
Chicago with his money. When he
got into the street he counted his
money under an electric light, and
had just congratulated himself that it
was all there when three negroes
grabbed it and ran away. New York

GHEEL.
The Lanatic Asylum Town of the
Kingdom of Belgium.

Gheel, town of Belgium, is one of
the ancient miracle places of the
Catholic church in Europe. 1t has
shrine at which for centuries insane
people have been reputed to have
been cured. Whatever may be the
facts or the superstitions in such
cases, modern science has wrought
what one might claim to be miracles
there in the treatment of nervous dis
eases, for when Belgium, always alert
in social reforms, wished to make an
experiment of caring for her insane
poor by giving them the freedom of
the open air and the fields, she chose
Gkeel as the place where the trial of
the new method should be made
Here her department of charitable
institutions has reversed most of the
methods of the past in the care of
nervous patients by placing such in
valids in small clearinghouse in
the wide, open, sea-cooled country,
and giving them their freedom under
sympathetic supervision. The eXper-
iment of the Belgian governemnt, at
first held to be perilous, has proved
as successful as it's purpose was ben
efcent; it is one of the merciful mir
acles Of modern science, whose in
fluence seems destined to fill the
world The streets of Gheel, worn for
thousand years by the footsteps of
unhappy pilgrims, are now visited by
the philanthropic Investigators of all
lands, who study the most merciful
ways of treating the most pitiable of

Clean Shirts In Germany.

The Berlin Boersen-C Courier tells about Germans invention of q paper shirt front which is intended to ap- peal to the large number of continental Germans who wear dickies. The shirt front has paper collar polish and is in seven layers. As each layer is torn off it reveals another white, glistening front. Thus from one paper dicky the wearer may evolve clean paper shirt front for every day ill the week. The dieky is made to button to any kind of shirt. It costs but 80 pfennig or about cents; consequently the expense of a clean front is but cent day. In view of the prevalence of the dicky habit ill Germany the inventor has taken steps to manufacture his compound shirt fronts in large quantities.

But he is not go ing to be such a free spender this year as he has been in the past. Ad- versity has taught him the valuable lesson of frugaHty.

Some thing About the Making Of Caineos
 d rrtayffcn

 Something About the Making or Caincos
 and Intagiioa.
 Gem sculpture, or lithoglypties, IS an art of great antiquity, having been praetieed by the Babylonians. the Egyp- tians. the Hebrews and the Greeks. 4 Afterwara 1t sank into deeadenee, but in the fifteenth century was revived h Italy. It is an art that calls for great eleeauee of taste and much skill, fer on q small stone, generally precious. de- signs are represented either in raised work, as cemeos, or Ly being cut below the surface, IS intaglios
 Tu cuneos the term minute sculp- ture is indeed applicable, for since the days of Greek ant celebrated statues have been copied in this way The first intaglios were the scarabS, or beetle shaped siguets, worn ill rings by the Egyptians from very remote period. One side of the stone was shaped like a beetle, the other side was flat, and the name of the king CT wea1er was cut ln- to it. 4 hole was then drilled in the stone from end to end and through 1t a strong wire was passed to hold 1t in position ill ring The fiat CT seal side was always worn next to the finger, but when used as seal it was turned.
 In the art of gem sculpture the Greeks excelled all predecessors. The Etruscans, contemporary with the Greeks, also attained excellence in gem cutting, and it is said chat on these early gems of Etruscan or Greek origin may be read as ill q book the forms.of their religion and the subjects Of popn- lar interest in politics, song and fable for centuries.
 Under Augustus gem sculpture flour ] ished among the Romans, many of them possessing canoes and mtaglios of great value, and cabinets of costly gems be- came numerous. It is said that Caesar sent six cabinets of rare gems 10 the temple of Venus
 There are many fine cameos and in taglios in the British museum Among the finest of them accessible to the pub lie are the Cupid and Goose intaglio, the Dying Amazon, the Laughing Fawn, Baechusn on red jasper, and the "Julius Cesar of Dicscmjdes. h modern times gem sculpture has reached a high state of FGfeegtn and beauty Philadelphia fiuts

 We have the utmost confidence in the futute Of the sugar beet in dustry in the Western States. We find from our reports that the sugar beet is the one thing that deiies drought, and will withstand hall storms. It will thrive with or with out moisture. An important inn proYoment to come elater will be that the dairies will follow the beet sugar factories. At present the pulp is fed to steers. The amount of pulp that makes two pounds of weight on q steer, worth 6, ' or 8 cents, will make pound of butter, The dair- ies should follow the sugar beet fac tories ib order to use the pulp. The farmer should bring home the pulp when he takes his beets to,t ,thc mill.

SNG4R REETS.

The farmers of the South, espee- ially of Arkansas, would do well to keep an eye on the sugar beet in- dustry. This promises to become shortly one of the most profitable industries in the country. The eli mate and soil Of Arkansas are es- pecially adapted to the growth of sugar beets, and f the farmers of this State would begin the culture of this saccharine vegetable, they would no doubt find it more profit able than cotton.
 Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson has just returned to Washington from tour of the West, where he made careful investigation of the culture of sugar beets, and his ob- servations will ID doubt be interest," ing to all who are concerned in agriculture.
 From what I can ascertain, said the Secratrry, sthe best results at tained in sugar beet culture have been in the Pecos Valley in New Mexico. The growers there report percentage of sugar as high as 2. which would mean large profit. hnothea very successful locality is the Lehi Valley in Utah, where a percentage of l3 has been secured. They have ], 200 acres in sugar beets this year, and the growers will get $50 an acre this year for the crop. The Agricultural Department will buy from these growers in Utah thrae tons Of seed this year. Next year we intend to distribute fully a dozen tons of seeds. We sent ont this year 22,O0O packages for ex- periments in 27 States. Q The State experiment. stations will make analysis whenever it is practicable

InE Little Rock newspapers are raising great hullabaloo about the acquittal of Jesse Heard, at Perryvine for the murder of Blair, in Little Rock. It seems tu us at this distance that the aforesaid newspapers are exercising them selves entirely too much about it. Heard went before a people unbias- ed or unprejudiced against him and secured an acquittal from the hands of jury of his peers, who were in ignorance of the merits of the case until they were called upon, after hearing the evidence, to decide upon the guilt or innocence of the accused. The decision of twelve men under such circumstances is a better guide than the opinion of a prejudiced community which is governed by unsuitable vengeance.

THE Owensboro haQuirer thus comments on Labor Day: "This is Labor Day. Why it is so can only be explained by diving deep into the mysteries of demagogy. It is Q National and State holiday, of which labor can take advantage only by losing the time, which is a double burden, as the income of the laborer is lessened by the amount of a days wages and is further de- pleted by the amount he will spend in excess of what he would do if he were at work. The people who get advantage of it are not laborers at all. And here is point. Of all the legislation that is enacted for the benefit Lof labor not line of it has the effect thatis ostensibly intended. The tariff is n striking example. It's effect in helping labor by an increase of wages is negative and by holding up wages is propblematieal. Its effect by causing the laborer to pay more for all manufactuI goods which he consumes is apparent and certain. All labor legislation hith. erto is farce and 2 fraud. ?
