A Sensible Health Fad.

Women have begun to understand that
health as well as wealth tends upon the
footsteps Of outdoor work. Several broken
down society leadersin a certain Western
town have had the courage to persist in a
half-day's garden work regularly for a
stated period. The result is very much
more in their favor than they had dared
to imagine Improved circulation, rest and
digestion have thrown themselves in the
balance against disordered nerves, sleep
less nights and the hollow eyes and worn
face attendant upon prolonged social dis
sipations, and nature has inserted her
immortal rights before the paints and To-
tons and powders, the paraphernalia of
the toilet-table. The rosy health and
wholesome strength ofthe average English
roman is the utcome of her outdoor
life and xercise.-ANNETTA HALLIDAY

House Raided.

The house of Charles Hetzel on S.
College street was again raided by II e
police Saturday night and this time tt e
occupants of the house did not get off
quite so easily as at the former trial.
Saturday evening MIR. Charles Nc
Donald, of Washington, whose mother-in
law, Mrs. Wolford, lives in the vicinity Of
the house, made a complaint at the
MAYORS office and at one O'Clock in the
night Officers Freeze, Dutrow and McBee
went to the house and arrested Mrs. Het-
eel, two other women and three men.
Some other men were present. but the Of
hcers were unable to capture them.
They were given a hearing before
Mayor Henshaw and Mrs. Hetzel was
fined SIS and costs for keeping a disor-
DERBY house and the other two women
were fined $40 and costs each. Twice dur
ing the trial Mrs. Hetzel behaved improp-
erly and the Mayor added $40 more each
time for contempt, making her fine S45 and
costs. The fines were not paid and the
women are now sojourning in the lookup.
The three men were released, and
Mayor Henshaw said he would have fined
them had all of them been caught.

Prisoners Sentenced.

Circuit Court convened Monday morn
ing and the prisoners tried and found gull
ty during this term were brought before
Judge Faulkner and sentenced.
The Judge sentenced them in his usual
impressive manner and the prisoners sat
almost b~reathless as they heard the grim
vengeance OF the law pronounced upon
them.
Gilbert Mosby, who was found guilty of
the second offense of stealing, was not
sentenced. as he was suffering with the
rheumatism and the Judge said he would
withhold his sentence upon him.
Harry Ford, who was found guilty Of
the Tebo robbery, received a sentence Of
four years in the p%enitentiary. In sentenc-
ing him Judge Faulkner used most i'm
pressiQe language. He told him II know
you are guilty, but you continue to assert
that you are not guilty; but that is all that
could be expected of you, for in the first
place you are nothing than a tramp,
and in the second place you are a thief,
and all thieves are liars"
He then sentenced Charles Green and
Walter Welty the two boys found guilty
of highway robbery. Green was sentenced
to five years in the p%enitentiary and Wei
ty will be sent to the Reform School until
he is twenty-one. He is now in his
fifteenth year.
Michael O'Conner, charged with wife
beating received a sentence Of four months

The Money Supply.

Gold in 1893 formed but one-third Of
the money of this country, but now 1t is
about one-half. On January 1. 1891, the
amount Of gold was 57o4. 100000. BY
July i. 1893, under the operation of the
Sherman silver act, the amount decreased
to S592, o8o,ooo, whereas on January /,
1890, the amount was So4o, $4,000.
Gold has returned, and with good man
agement it may be made still more
abundant. Since July /. 1893, when
the total stock Of money was SI,76I. 262,-
600, the amount has increased to S2,I83,-
$4,000. BY the importation Of gold this
amount may be safely increased to any
sum required by the business of the
country. The renewed issue of gold GER
~tificates would doubtless facilitate the
virtual rise Of gold in ordinary business
transactions.

Authors in China have a lovely time.
When the editor rejects a contribution
he does not return it together with a
cruelty polite little printed slip which
states that sit is not because of any
fault with the MS, but because of the
present large supply on hand of matter
of the same description" the article is
returned. No; this is the kind of let
ter the Chinese editor writes:
Industrious Brother of the Sun and
Moon! Behold thy servant at thy feet,
who kisses the earth before thee and
asks thy gracious permission to speak
and live. We have read thy manu-
ccript with delight. By the bones of
u ancestors WI swear hat we have
never found such manuscript! If W
should print it, his majesty, the en-
peror, would command us to adopt it
as a standard and never again print
anything not equal to it. AS that
would not be possible within 10000
years, we return thy manuscript, trem-
bling and %imploring thy pardon 1000
times. My head is at thy feet and l am
the slave of thy slave"
Courtesy could hardly be carried fur
Their, and whenever they decline an ar
ticle the Chinese newspapers must
make a friend of the author.
