A MORAL LEPER.
That Is What the Memphis Commercial
Appeal Calls StahIman.

That Is What the Memphis Commercial
Appeal Calls stahlman.
1t has been shown in the recent
senatorial investigation that Stahl-
man made number of false state
ments; he himself denies that they
were false, but admits that they
were intended to deceive. And then
he supplements this denial by a
modest comparison of himself with
Peter, one of the Lords disciples.
After that, all that remains for him
to do is to arrange his own apOtheosis
and buy himself a celestial crown
First, he made the railroads of Ten
nessee infamous, then he rendered
the politics of the State vile, and
now he has involved a great church
in a scandal. OF course no fair
minded person can find anything in
the action of the church to condemn,
but Stahlman has presented it with
a very unpleasant problem to solve,
and he has brought it to serious
embarrassment. 1t is sincerely to
be hoped that his latest exploit will
be his last; and if the hundred thou
sand dollar fee he has obtained is
instrumental in removing this moral
leper from the field of further mis-
chief, by all means let him take it
and depart into outer darkness. His
life deserves to be studied by the
rising generation for the shining and
eloquent don't contained within
it.-Commercial-Appeal.

The great tears rose again and trlckled

But with her fingers clinch'd and pulses

She pass'd along in agonized despair
The soul within her eyes alive with yearn-

To see again a 2ace that was not there!
Each cottage room seemd to be waiting

When in the lanes the bonny birds sang

And, looking out, the mothers white lips

Her children grew, in virtue and in glad

To be her blessings and enrich her days;
No shadows fell on them from her sweet
sadness,
Kind words and actions glorlfed their
ways.
But while her soul grew greater for the

Through sacrifice and gain, through flame
and frost,
Through each long hour of every day of
living,
Its hunger strengthened for the love 1t

Potato scab-How to Prevert.

The Kentucky agricultural experi-
ment station has lately published
bulletin NO. 72), one division of which
gives the results of experiments of two
seasons in the use of corrosive sub
Innate for potato scab. The results
show that the treatment was very eff
fective in preventing the scab, and, as
the method is simple and not eXpen-
sive, those who have had the trouble
might give it trial on at least por-
tion of the crop yet to be planted,
The following conclusions" will give
the necessary information regarding
how to handle the substance:
Soaking seed potatoes for an hour
in a solution of 415 ounces of corrosive
sublimate in 80 gallons Is an effective
treatment for the fungus disease known
as scab
Stronger solutions used for the
same length of time may injure the
| seed.
Stronger solutions (seven to eight
ounces of sublimate in 30gallons Of wa,
teri may be used with as good effect as
weaker ones, provided the seed remains
in them for only a short time (one-hall
hour, or possibly less).
when bought of druggists corrosive
sublimatc costs about dollar pound.
One of the foremost dealers in chemical
supplies in the. country gives list
price of IS cents per pound.
Corrosive sublimate is a deadly poi.

soaked potatoes must be kept where

Henry Clay, bred 10y Ii. c, Clay, or Old
Longfcllow or King Lee, or many other
hogs of superior merit, it will be all the
better Having carefully examined
the pedigree, and found the breeding
of the pig strictly first class, we select
the pig. / would take the score card
and carefully note the essential or ma
jor points, and the non-essential or mi
nor points; the essential points are
those that are given eight or more
points. To these | would add the heal,as
l think the head and iowlindicates feed
ing quality. The most essential point
in my judgment is the chest, as every
thing depends on the constitutional
vigor of the hog The chest covers the
vital parts We want to examine the
pig between the fore legs, and see that
the breast bone comes well forward on
line with the fore legs, and see that
the fore legs are wide apart and TIN e
chest full behind the fore legs. The
next in Importance is back and loin. l
would want a broad back with ribs
well sprung, carrying width Of back

sunfish back remember the most val.
liable meat in the hog is the loin, and
the more of it we get the better. The
next of Importance is the ham and
rump. We want the ham wide on
top and broad from flank to rear, and
deep and full. We should remember
that feed very largely makes the shoul-
der, but the ham must be bred. The
next essential is the feet and legs. The
fore legs should be wide in the arm,
well-tapered and set square under the
pig and wide apart; the foot should be
short in pasture joint, and stand up
well on toes; the hind legs should be
wide IN stitle and straight, the foot
short in pasture joint and set well up
on toes. The next is the head, neck
! jowl. The head should be short, the
face in Berkshires well dished,
widest between the eyes, jowl
full and neat neck, short and
wide and full on top. The other
points are non-essentials, and if
the pig is extra good in all the points
indicated it will make good hog if it
does lack some in the points not mem
toned. l would want the pig reason
ably well marked, with a good coat of
soft hair, as coarse-haired pig will
not feed well, but l would especially
warn young breeders against being led
off by the color craze, Some young
breeders are so struck with the
color craze that they can not
see any merit in any pig that does
not have the six white points. The

the standard and score card thought

points and the tail one point,

CHAPTER XIX.
Hardly a more disreputable spot
could have been found in all New York
than the immediate vicinity of the
house to which they had been directed.
Along the street were several opium
dens, dimly lighted, and on the corner,
not far away, man was selling hot
sausages from steaming vessel over q
charcoal fire.
AS Hendricks and the doctor were
1lighting from the cab near the house
to which they were going, a solitary
policeman approached, and was about
to pass, when Hendricks called to him.
The detective introduced himself and
told the astonished fellow to stand in
readiness near the door of No. 567. The
policeman consented, evidently highly
fiattered at being in the service of the
famous detective.
As they went up the steps to the little
stoop Hendricks advised the policeman
to pass on, SO as not to be noticed by
whoever opened the door. The detective
rang. There was faint light shining
through the grimy transom over the
door, but no sound came from within.
Hendricks rang again, and when the
changing of the bell had died away a
door beneath the stoop opened, chain
ratified against an iron gate, and wom-
an half clad and with hair disheyeled
came out amidst a heap of garbage and
ash barrels and glared up at them.
"What do We want?" she asked crust

tcctive thanked her, and went up the
stairs.
The door Of the room in the front, on
the top floor, was closed. There was a
transom over it. but no light shone
through. Hendricks knocked and watt
ed. Then he put his hands on the latch.
As he did so, DR. Lampkin drew his re-
