DPEYFUS
CONTINUES in
GOOD SPIRITS
Though he is Still Underthe Same
Discipline as He was Prior
to the Trial.
THE COUNCIL OF REVISION
May Give a Decision on the Merits
ofthe Appeal by First Of
Next Week.

RENNEs, Sept. l3.-Captain Dreyfus
continues in good spirits, and his health
is fairly satisfactory, although the
stomach trouble still clings to him.
Madame Dreyfus visited her husband
to-day, and came away looking cheer
full. She spent about an hour with
him. N. Labori's assistant sees him
twice a day.
Most Of his waking hours are passed
in reading correspondence and Paris
literary reviews. He is under the
same discipline US prior to the trial, and
Is allowed exercise daily In the prison
yard. A canvas screen is now hung
across the court yard to prevent him
being seen from the windows of houses
adjacent, and to prevent photographers
getting snapshots Of him.
A guard Of forty soldiers is posted
in the prison yard beneath his window,
and a sentry, with loaded rifle and fixed
bayonet, is stationed on the wall over
looking the second court yard, where
he takes his exercise.
PARIS, Sept. 1S.-The Llberte an
nounces on good authority that the
government will not convoke the cham
Ders until December, on the ground
that the deputies could not sit legally
while the senate is acting as high
court.

MelIne, the former premier. has sent
to a number Of his political friends q
confidential letter, asking their opIn-
ions regarding the immediate convOca-
ton Of the chambers.
The government commissioner at
tached to the council Of revision may
possibly finish the report on the Drey-
fus case before Monday. In that event
the council of revision will give a de-
cislon regarding the merits Of the ap-
peal that day, and on the following day
the cabinet will decide whether meas
ures Of clemency are advisable.

the government may safely refrain
from interference, but where COMPETE

In general, the destruction of
wealth is social as well as an indi
vidual loss. The wealth that is used
up in riotous living is diverted from
better uses. Extravaganza is not
necessarily luxury. The mere trans
fer of wealth from one hand to an
other does not involve destruction.
Consumption means using up. When
a nation spends $3.50, 900 for a great
picture the wealth is not destroyed it
is simply transferred. When the Ju-
bilee Plunger ran through $4,000, 900
in twelve calendar months, the wealth
of the world was diminished only by
the amount of it he and those who
sponged on him put down their
throats and otherwise wantonly de-
stroyed. In so far as it was simply
transferred to others to whom he paid
extravagant prices it was not de-
stroyed.
To give high prices for articles
which are rare is not necessarily lux
ury, for the price and the rare edition
or the old master both remain. 1t is
true that extravaganza may mean the
transfer of wealth to those who will
not use it well but it does not usually
mean this. 1t generally involves a
transfer to the hands of those who
will use it more wisely.--Interna,
tional Journal of Ethics.

Tho Injection of Antitoxine Serum a
Cure For the Dreaded Tetanus.

euro FOR the Dreaded Tetanus.
The first successful operation in
America for the cure of that dread
disease, lockjaw, is reported from
Passaic, N. J. 1t was performed in
hospital there on Aaron Hemion, by
Dr. Rambaud, of the New York
branch of the Pasteur Institute, of
Paris. The operation consisted in an
injection of the antitoxine serum into
the second frontal convolution of the
patients brain. To do this the skull
had to be trephined, two quarter-inch
holes being made. Powerful opiates
were administered. In a case for
treatment for lockjaw the object of in
jecting the serum into the second
convolution of the brain is to get as
near the seat of the motor speech area
as possible. The second convolution
of the brain and also the first, are
primarily important in this respect.
They are associated with the motor
nerves and the serum injected into
the second convolution almost imme-
diately begins an attack upon the for
eign forces opposing free actions Of
the nerves and muscles at this point.
DR.. Rambaud piled the piston of
the syringe, while DIR. Pedrick counted
Off the minutes. Slowly the serum
began to flow through tho brain and
into the cranial nerves. The opera
ton was extremely delicate. When
one side of the brain had been charged
with the serum, the same operation
was performed on the other side. One
and a half grains in all were injected

In the past eighty per cent. of all
tetagus cases proved fatal, but under
the new treatment it is prophesie6
that not three per cent. will be lost.
Only recently has science been able to
cope with it with any degree of assur-
ance that it could be readily opposed,
the first successful case of antitoxine
treatment being reported in the Ga
zette des Hospitaux in Paris June 2S,
1898. At that operation, held under
the direction of Professor Roux, dI-
rector of the Pasteur Institute in
Paris, DR.. Rambaud, of New York,
was present.

Veneering.

Veneer cutting is trade in itself;
veneers are both hand cut and ma
chine cut; the former are generally
considered the best. A leaf of veneer
is no more than one-sixteenth of an
inch; overlaid with it common deal
becomes to all appearances oak. wal
nut, satin-wood, rosewood or mahog-
any, just as you please. Sixty square
feet Of veneering can be turned out by
a machine within the minute; an inch
of wood viii yield thirty-two veneers.
In this country specially thick veneer
is cut; instead of papering the walls
OF house. they are sometimes ven-
eered with mahogany, walnut, BIRDS
eye maple. This veneer is so thin
that it must be packed up with paper
to give it strength. The best wood
for the purpose is got from trees that
have grown slowly in poor soil. Rich
ly figured veneers are obtained from
the roots of trees. There is a good
market for them among the makers of
pianoforte cases,

NEW YORK'S FREE HAND.
AN AMOUNT SPENT YEARLY IN
CHARITY THAT SEEMS INCREDIBLE.

Pauperism Has Grown Until an Enormous
Sum is Invested For the Benefit of the
Indigent-Two Million and Half
Persons Receive Assistance,
1t is almost incredible, writes W.
i. Curtis, in the Chicago Record, but
[ have the official reports for my
authority, that 2,551, 455 persons re5
ceived assistance or relief from the
various charitable associations of New
York State last year. This includes
only such associations as are organ
lied under the State laws and are re-
quired to make reports of their trans
actions to the Commissioner Of Chari-
ties. It does not embrace multitude
of religious organizations, mission
schools, the Kings Daughters, the
Epworth League, Christian Endeavor,
bands of hope, aid societies, helping
hands and the many benevolent
branches Of the Catholic Church which
are always Offering succor to the poor
and needy; and, of course, the amount
of money, food and clothing dis
tributed by private individuals cannot
be taken account of. It is probable
if accurate returns could be obtained
Of these forms Of charity the amount
distributed and the number of re-
cipients would be increased fifty per
cent.
The total amount of money expend-
ed for charities last year by organized
charities in the State of New York
was $23, 100, $50. OF this 50, COG, 1856
was disbursed through purely official
and $13, ,494, 754 through private
agencies. In New York City the num-
ber of persons receiving assistance
was 1928, 800. The hospitals, relief
societies and other associations took
care of 75S,609 persons. The re-
mainder received what is known as
"out-door" ef'-that is, at their
own homes.
Pauperism has grown to such an
extent that the enormous sum OF
$103, 3S4, 554 is now invested in their
behalf in this State, of which SO,

The number of permanent inmates
of charitable institutions, when the
latest count was made, was "A, 1854.
The number received and cared for
during the year in such institutions
was 269, ,147. 1t is extraordinary that
two-ffths of the permanent charges
upon the State and charity are chill
dren, the number at present cared for
being 81, 127. Most of these, however,
are better off than they would be with
their parents OF people of their class,
for they are receiving the rudiments
of an education, and are taught useful
trades.
The city, county and township aims
houses have 13, 1872 inmates and other
State institutions for the INDECENT have
COOL, making total of 19, 1888 paupers
in the State, people who cannot or will
not sustain themselves. The educa-
tional institutions where free instruc-
tion is given have 6O20 pupils, who
are not only educated but are support
ed IN the meantime. There are ninety
seven inmates in the homes for dis
charged prisoners, 1924 in the reforma-
tories for women and girls, and 1913

We tahs it for granted that eveFy
farmer knows enough to furnish his
sheep with proper shelter. II he viii
only keep them out Of the rain and out
OF blixzards. they win 60 through in
nice shape. says Wallace's Farmer.
They suffer less from cold than any
other animal. and more from vet and
mud. The ewes are most likely to get
out Of proper condition by being Inn
properly fed. Most farmers think tim
othy hay is the best. because 1t COM
mands the highest price in the market.
1t is not the best for sheep: in fact.
very nearly the worst. for the reason
that it is constipating in its character
and the breeding eve must be kept
from becoming constipated. Corn fod-
der is better, but only because 1t is
loosening in its character. 1t does not
have the proper elements for the
proper development Of the young lamb.
In short, it is too carbonaceous to fur-
nish the proper amount Of muscle.
Corn is too heating, and most farmers
give their ewes too much Of it. to the
injury both of the eve and the wool.
The forage above all things to be de-
sired is good clover or alfalfa hay. and
II the farmer has plenty OF this his
ewes will require comparatively little
grain. He can feed corn somewhat I'D
orally in cold weather, provided he mas
the hay to feed with it, and bring the
flock up to the critical period OF lamb
ing in fine condition. When he feeds
corn fodder, the ground being dry, he
can very well afford to feed it some
distance from the sheds. and thus COM
pei the ewes to take exercise. Pienty
OF water should always be on hand
with salt, and if these conditions are
observed and the ewes not allowed to
run through narrow gates so as to en-
danger abortion, there is no reason
why he should not have from 100 to
125 per cent of lambs. and with this
per cent he cannot fail to make money.
He should have lamb which at a year
old is worth 81 and at least 81 worth
Of wool. He should keep three ewes
to the acre, and this will afford him a
better profit than he is likely to get
from any other department of the farm
and with less trouble.

Planting Peach Stones.

Farmers Review: For a number Of
who will be in need of young peach
trees, two years hence, will do well to
procure pits at once from some nursery
supply company. Fall is the proper
time for stratifying the pits in the
sand, but if done now there may still
be enough freezing weather to loosen
the shells so that they will germinate
readily enough in the spring. Plant
the seeds in straight narrow burrows
three feet apart, covering them about
two inches deep. Keep the seedlings
well cultivated during summer, and by
August they will be half an inch in
diameter and ready to be budded. II
unacquainted with this operation you
may be able to make arrangements
with the Horticultural Department of
the Kansas Agricultural College to
furnish you with an experienced bud
der. BY this means a large number Of
trees may be obtained at slight cost.
The Horticultural Department has pre-
pared a printed price list of the vines,
fruit trees, shade trees and ornament
al shrubs that can be disposed of in
the spring. 1t will be mailed to any
one in the state upon request.

scratches the hole with his hind feet
and enters backward. Once inside,
there Il apparently no trace Of the fact

Corn Culture.

A bulletin of the Georgia station
says:
Corn delights in a deep, mellow, rich
and moist loan. Any Of the ordinary
soils of the country that are either
naturally of the above characters. or
can be brought into the required con-
dition by proper rotation. deep and
thorough preparation and liberal ma
nuring, and can be maintained in this
condition by frequent and thorough
surface culture, will produce satisfac-
tory yields Of corn. with a moderate,
well-distributed rainfall. Perhaps the
most essential requirement for an
abundant yield Of corn, is plenty Of
moisture in the soil. Without this
plenty of moisture, such a yield is alb
solutely impracticable. It is not in
dispensable that the moisture shall be
supplied directly by abundant rains
during the period Of the growth Of the
crop, but the requirement must be met
in some way. The supply of moisture
from rainfalls may be supplemented,
or entirely substituted, by irrigation,
as is done in arid and semi-arid. re-
gions; or the farmer may trust to the
clouds for generous supply; but the
demand for moisture must be met,
or the crop will be more or less a
failure.
Without resorting to extensive irri-
cation methods, and not willing to rely
on the rainfall from the heavens, the
farmer may select the low-lying, nat
urally moist and deep soils, along the
water-courses- bottom lands"
These soils are moister than the up-
lands. not solely because of their be-
ing lower. and near . water-course.
but-and very chiefy-because of their
great depth and their loamy charac-
ter. or large content Of humus, or de-
cayed vegetable matter. These soils
become thoroughly saturated with
moisture during the winter and spring
rains. and on account of their depth
and quantity of humus. they retain
the moisture during q much longer
period.
