An impressionable Paris banker, the

Mr.. Fairfield, head of the South Afri-

Mrs. M. E. Percy at Winnegance, lost
a needle a few weeks since She missed
it and hunted for it, but did not find it.
| Recently she had a feeling like cramp in
her hip that became so bad she was in
considerable distress. Upon examining
/ the place she found the needle there i'm
bedded almost it's entire length in the
| flesh, with just the eye sticking out. 1t
was only by good deal Of effort that she
was able to draw it out and it was black
ened and encrusted with rust. How it
came there is a mystery to her, as she
never felt it enter, and she had expert
enced no discomfort from its presence
until the feeling of cramp came on and
| led to its discovery.
| The Libby brothers, of Burn ham, deal
ers in live stock, have had for number
of years billy goat which has been of nc
little Importance in their business OF
| loading sheep upon the cars. The goat
understood his business perfectly, would
run around among the sheep to be loaded,
then pass up the run leading into car
and the sheep would readily follow. AS
soon as a number of the sheep had en-
tered the car he would force his way out
and repeat his efforts by leading the
sheep into the upper apartments of the
double deckers. His assistance has been
so great that he is said to have been of
more value at such times than 20 boys
Last Monday there was number of
sheep to be loaded and the goat was called
as usual to attend to his duties, but in
stead of responding as customary there
was nothing to indicate his presence.
Search being made resulted in finding the
animal dead. He had climbed rock,
reached up through the rails of the fence,
with the intention of going through or to
brouse a tree, his hind feet slipped and he
was hung by the head There was no
possible way for his escape without aid
which did not appear, and the Libbys
will greatly miss his aid in loading sheep.

The purpose of President Mckinley S
policy toward Cuba is to secure peace and
independence for that unhappy island,
and that he may work out his beneficent
programme without embarrassment the
Senate resolution is being kept away from
the House jingoes who, there is some
reason to believe, may be in the majority
in that body, and who might pass it if
they got a chance. Nothing besides the
objects which the President is aiming at
have so far been made known to the
country. The lines along which he pro-
poses to operate are unknown outside of
the President and his cabinet, if they are
known there which is somewhat doubt
full. Perhaps no definite plan has yet
been formed and will not be until the
eturn of Special Agent Calhoun who
went to Cuba ostensibly to investigate
he Ruiz case but was instructed to keep
his eyes and ears open for general infor-
nation on the state of the country For
the administration to free Cuba without
involving us in war with Spain would
put a big Feather in its cap. But Job
viously it has prtetty big job on its
hands. If there is one thing on which
all parties in Spain agree it is that Cuba
must be kept by Spain. There may be
disagreement as to the best way to keep
| 1t, but as regards Fits retention there is
thorough harmony. Money Spain needs
very badly, but all parties declare that
money would be no temptation for the
sacrifice of Cuba. Our good offices Spain
has refused to accept within year, and
| there is not the slightest sign Of any
| change of disposition in this respect. A
threat of active interference on our part
| if Spain did not release her grip on the
island might at first blush appear likely
to brighten her down from her hi gh
horse, but the Spanish people are hot
headed and the mass of the population
are ignorant in regard to our strength
and resources and the suggestion of yield
ing to the United States would be enough
to decapitate the ministers politically
and perhaps physically also. All the OBJ
vious means short of war which our gov
eminent might resort to to free Cuba
seem almost certain to fail. But the
greater the obstacles in the way the great
er will be the triumph of the admins
tration if it succeeds,

Judge Dean, Of the Supreme Court OF
Pennsylvania, in a recent address before
the Philadelphia Academy of law, points
out a defect in the administration of
justice in this country which may yet be
fraught with peril to our institutions. 1t
is nothing less than the growing habit of
jury lodging and he denounces it in Wig
orous language. Referring to this evil
he said. II would make Sinking jury as
odious as skulking in time of war; in
stead Of leaving to them the sole part of
criticising and denouncing courts and
juries, would inflexibly compel them,
as the law intended they should, to per-
form their part in the administration of
justice, whenever they were sober, intelli-
gent and judicious. Iwould make jury
duty as imperative and as certain as pay
1nent of taxes on a house and lott Thi S
rebuke from man so high in judicial
service and whose means of observation
are so extended is worthy of grave con-
sideration. The ease and persistence with

After struggle which has extended
over period of four years and involved
wage losses of more than 81, 600, 900 the
strike of the American Flint Glass
Workers Union in Pittsburg has ended in
failure. Waving altogether the question
OF whether the strike was warranted by
the grievances alleged, the Mail and Elk
press says the fact remains that no cost
lier or moro hopeless means of settling a
labor controversy could have been devised
by human judgment. OF the 1900 men
who struck four years ago more than 400
have died, and now the long fight comes
to an end with the original dispute still
unsettled and only the record of costly
failure to show for its folly.

The feasibility of securing d supply of
sugar from home grown sugar beets has
been attracting considerable attention of
late and the Importance Of the subject has
been in no wise exaggerated. A line
thought to be most favorable for the Gull
tivation of the sugar beet has been traced
across the map of the United States by
Prof. H. w. Wiley, chief of chemistry in
the United States Department. of Agri-
culture, and, to state the. case in a general
way, the sugar beet should prove a sue
cessful crop on any soil suited to Indian
corn, wheat or potatoes The Globe
Democrat is authority for the staten emit,
worthy of consideration in this connec-
ton, that the annual consumption of
sugar IN this country is about 100000
tons. In 1867 each American
consumed an average of al
pounds year, which amount has grown
to 70 pounds in 1897 and is still increas-
ing We pay foreign countries for sugar
Sl0o, 100000 year, or about the sum re-
celved for our cereals exported. If the
sugar beet can be successfully grown and
handled in this country, and of that there
is no doubt by those best informed, 300,

country new and profitable crop will
