PROVED HER INNOCENCE.

A Little Drama Recently Enacted In a
French Court. T.
A pathetic little drama was recently
enacted in a French court of justice.
A poor needle woman was charged
with stealing two gold coins from her
employer. Her defense was that,
while waiting in her employers house
the child in her arms, unknown to her
was attracted by the sight of the gilt
tering gold on the mantel shelf behind
her. and, leaning forward over her
shoulder, clutched, the coins in its
chubby fist, and had so carried them
away. This she persistently and So
lemnly stated on oath.
The court, however. was incredul-
Gus and reproved the mother for her
attempt to deceive him. But she as
serted her innocence with such pathet-
ic power that the sagacious Judge de-
termind to test the truth of her state
ment. He bade her stand by his desk,
with her child facing over her should
err in the way she had described.
Then he took several gold coins form
his pocket and placed them on his desk
within reach of the child. -:
A breathless silence ensued Every
one awaited the touching sequel.
Then suddenly the child,s eyes caught
sight of the cleaning gold, and. with
an eager smile, the tiny hand was
outstreched to the desk and the coins
were clutched in its tenacious grasp.
The mother was promptly acquitted.

b.
Assistant Secretary of State J. J. Lo-
men, who is also commissioner of sta

Farative tables. The second is is sta.
tlstlcs by counties and the third is de-
voted to miscellaneous statistics.
The report is only partial for 1895,
but is inclusive of 1894. An interesting
1tem is the total number of farms in
minnesota, which is given, including
1895. There are 81, 425. OF that num-
ber 924 are new. That is to say, they
were first settled upon in 1895. The to-
tai dairy product in 1895 was: Cheese,

tive to 1881. In that year the whole
number of COWS was JOG, O16; butter,
1866, 76S pounds; cheese, 469, ,147.
The bee industry is not so large now
as 1t was % years ago. In 1879 the
whole number of hives in Minnesota
7o4, and they produced 232, 94s pounds
~ AAohCy' III 1Co4 LncCc were 1V,Od(
hivee, and the bees produced 2l1,6as
pounds of honey.
The report shows wonderful growth
however. in the sheep industry. In
1895 the number of sheep sheared was
26+, 527, as compared with S4,931 in
1894: and the number of pounds of
wool secured 1895 was 813, 4O4. as
against 3s9,325 in 1894. The shearing
was done in the spring in 1896 and in

A Cylindrical Street Car.

A car has just been completed at
Concord, n. H., which puts into prac-
tice what has heretofore been consid-
cred q chimerial idea of the novelist
1t is cylindrical in form, like the imag-
mary cars jules Verne and other have
have told OF, have been. It is no the
ory, but entire practice, and it will
save the railroad companies many
thousands Of dollars.
The car is curious EN- bodiment of
genius and convenience. It is practic-
ally cylindrical in form, although this
by no merns interferes with the seat
ing arrangements. It's chief claim to
to fame, however, lies in the fact that
each section of the sides, with windows
of curved glass, slides up under the
roof just as the curtain of the roll-top
desk disappears as tits pushed upward.
just at the sides disappear a running
board drops down below the floor. Of
the car, and in the usual position on
the outside. IN this way the comfort
able closed car is transformed into an
open car Of neat appearance. .

office which will startle the country
and forcibly direct attention to the
tremendous pension burden which Is
weighing down the finances of the
country. Quiet Investigations have
been in progress, which point strongly
to the fact that thousands of dead PEN
sioners are carried on the rolls. An
nually several millions of dollars are
paid out by the government on behalf
of pensioners long since in their graves.
The conditions have grown so fragrant
that the country stands on the verge
of great national scandal unless
prompt measures are taken. Officials
of the pension bureau, senators, mem
beers of the cabinet and the president
himself know the situation and appre-
ciate the imperative necessity for a
change 1t is admitted by the pension
officials that the frauds practiced on
the government are of such apparent
magnitude that only the most heroic
measures will reach the evil.
