FOREIGN GOSSIP.

Policemen in Client, Belgium, are

What proper sanitary regulations

was but one death from smallpox in

At a recent flower show in England

In Germany electric blowing COM
pares favorably with steam blowing as
regards expenses. The cost of electric
blowing in heavy soil with deep cultiva'
ton is from SLIPS to SLABS per aero,
while steam blowing costs $21.25 pei
acre. The depth of the furrow is eight
to ten inches and the speed of blowing
is about three feet per second.
There are two electric tramways III
operation in Holland. One is from
Walls on the German frontier, which
is only half a mile in length, and the
line from The Hague to Scheveningen
is somewhat over six miles. The cars
are actuated by accumulators, as the
trolley system is forbidden. Holland
is country of short distances, and it
Dug to be an ideal location for tram
ways.
Utopia is now known to be located
at Orsa, in Sweden. The community
has, in the course of a generation, sold
$4,000 900 worth of trees and by means
of judicious planting has provided for
a similar income every 80 or 40 years.
In consequence of this commercial
wealth there are no taxes. Railways,
telephones, etc., are free, and so are
schoolhouses, teaching and many other
things.

FLORAL DESIGNS.
What Becomes of a Great Many That
Are Left on Graves In
Cemeteries.

In one of the cemeteries people have
been known to carry the floral designs
from the lots of strangers to their own.
Some people have even gone to the
places armed with brushes and pots of
paint, with which they have changed
the coloring of the metal designs they
have taken for their own lots. The
painting of iron chairs and other iron
work which ornaments the lots, to es-
cape detection when the articles have
been removed without the consent OF
the owners, is quite common.
After some funerals from ten to
twenty floral designs are left upon the
graves. Not long ago, after the funeral
of little child about six years old, 16
designs were left on the grave. In a
day or two the flowers wither and
nothing remains but the glaring, tin
foif-covered frame. In cemeteries in
which there are from 40 to so funerals
every week the number of these de-
signs, which are removed every month
by the employees of the cemetery,
mounts up into the hundreds. Every
once in awhile a florist calls at one of
the cemeteries and buys up a lot of
gates ajar, harps, Tyres, vacant chairs,
pillows and anything elese there may
be. The designs are usually three to
four cents apiece. The cost of the same
designs when new would have been
from 10 to rs cents each.
Sometimes the florist may find some
thing unusual in his collection. For in
stance, in the case of the death of rail-
road engineer the friends have fire.

HE PRIZED DEWEY MEDAL.
Jack Tar Promptly Knocked Down q
Stranger Who offered
Him 800 for 1t.

The treasury department has been
notified unofficially of an interesting
incident, which may be the subject of
a department inquiry, as it involves an
employe of the revenue cutter service.
Three of the sailors who served on the
cutter McCulloch in the battle of Ma
Mia bay are now attached to the cutter
Algonquin, temporarily stationed at
Baltimore. Each received one of the
handsome bronze medals voted by con-
gress to those who participated in the
memorable battle. One of these sailors,
whose name has not yet been ascer-
tanned, while enjoying shore leave in
Baltimore the other evening was APP
preached bv an unknown man, who in
quired what kind of medal the sailor
was wearing.
That's a Dewey medal" was the
proud reply.
The stranger examined the token
with enhanced interest. "I'll give you
500 for it," he said.
The response was unexpectedly
prompt and forcible. The sailor shot a
swift blow straight from the shoulder,
catching the stranger square in the
face and knocking him across the pave
ment against the house, where he fell
in a heap. As he was gathering himself
together a policeman hurried up and
was about to take the pugilistic tar into
custody, when the sailor volunteered an
explanation of the circumstances lead
irp nm 70 the blow. When he stated the
facts the guardian of the peace was al
most as indignant as the owner of the
medal. Turning to the stranger, who
was nursing his battered face, the po-
fceman expressed the opinion that it
served him right. and if he did not move
he would run him Washington Cor.

FOR LYNCHING BAKER

was found by the grand jury against thir-
teen of the men accused of lynching Frazer
b. Baker at Lake City, s. c., Feb. q, 1898.
Fifteen men are under arrest, but no ex-
planaton of the dropping of two names
from the indictment was given. Before CIV
ing the case out Judge Brawley delivered
an impressive charge. He did so, he said,
owing TO the unusualness and gravity of the
case. He sketched in outline the offenses
with which the prisoners were accused and
defined the duties of the Jurors in the
premises. The crime was one of the blackest
ever perpetrated in South Carolina, he said
and it was the duty of the government to
prosecute TO the fullest extent any or all
of the men who might have been implicated
in it's commission.
The jury retired and brought in the bill
after being out less than an hour. The in
dictment they signed was, of course, pre-
pared in the United States district attor-
ney's office. 1t fills many typewriter pages
and sets forth at great length the incidents
