Saved Through Chass

In 1896 Mohammed Bahia usurned
the crown of Granada in spite Of the
superior claims of his elder brother
Jussef. He was very unsuccessful in
MS conduct of the war against the
christians and was at length assassi-
mated by poison absorbed through his
SKIN from a shirt He entertained a
desperate dislike to the brother whom
ne had injured, and when he knew
that his own fate was sealed he semi
an order to the governor of the prison
IN which Jussef was confined that he
should be executed Immediately. When
the order arrived Jussef was PLAYING
cness with the chaplain of the prison
with great difficulty Jussef obtained a.
respite from the governor permitting
MIN to finish the game. Before it was
ended, however, news came that the
usurper had died of the poison. This
cancelled the order of execution and
Jussef, instead of going to the scat
fold, mounted the throne.

At che twenty-sixth national confer
ence of charities held at Cincinnati
last week, Geo. Terrence of Pontiac,
Ill.,, delivered an address Oh the relation
OF the cigarette to crime. After recit-
Ing his experience with boys coming
to his institution. Mr.. Terrence said;
Il am sure cigarettes are destroying
and making criminals of more OF them
than the saloons" In his reformatory
now there are 278 boys. "Of 90, aver
aging II years of age. So were cigarette
smokers; of 1873, averaging IA years of
age. 1876 were cigarette smokers; of so,
averaging Is years, 70 were cigarette
smokers"

Spraying with Paris green seems to

furrow should be turned around it
and when the furrow is partly filled
with worms a log can be dragged
through it. This will kill multitudes
of them and do much to save the field.
If they once get into the new grain
in large numbers the only remedy
seems to be to re-plow and re-seed the
field.

Chief of Police Devery of New York,
when examined by the Mazet commit
tee concerning the Fitzsimmons-Jef-
fries battle, declared that he saw moth
ing that was not strictly scientific and
within the law. The knockout blow,
said the observant chief, was "sclen-
titic tap" and happened to catch Mr..
Fitzsimmons a little off his balance,
thus causing him to fall gently and
easily to the floor. Battles with axes
or cleayers would probably be con-
demned by Chief Devery. but the heav-
lest blows struck by such burly men
as Jeffries and Fitzslmmons are only
scientific taps and no violation of
the statutes.

Exports of merchandise from the
United States to China in the fiscal
year about to end will be larger than
those of any preceding year in our his
tory. A decade ago the exports to
China were less than 100000, and to
China and Hongkong combined were
little over $4,000. 900. In the fiscal year
1899 our exports to China will be more
than $4,000, 900. and to Hongkong more
than $6,000,000, making total to China
and Hongkong of over $40, 5000, or
more than three times as much as
that OF decade earlier. That the bulk
of exports to Hongkong may properly
be considered as ultimately destined
for consumption in China Is shown by
the fact that the official reports of the
imports into China show that over "A
per cent of their imports are from the
port of Hongkong. The 1899 exports
to China and Hongkong combined will
show gain of nearly rs per cent over
those of last year, while the total ex-
ports from the United States for the
fiscal year 1899 will be little IL anv IN
excess of those OF last year, thus show
ing more rapid growth in our ports
to this particular part of the world
than elsewhere.

Kansas Opportunities for Sheen RaIs,n,

Kansas Opportunities for Sheep Raising.
In Kansas there are fifty million
acres upon every one of which, on an
average, a sheep could be maintained
at cost scarcely appreciable, and the
acres value be enhanced rather than
diminished each year thereby. This
alone would make the commonwealth
rich. The opportunities that go un-
needed are revealed by taking this in
connection with the other fact that the
state has scarcely one sheep to each
$50 acres of it's fruitful area, main
tanning the while $4,000 dogs-as

affairs in a state which could care for

tive. Crowded Britain finds profit In

sIycersn and Foreordiaation.


A glycerin man in conversation with
a reporter the other day said that the
majority of those who are engaged IN
the business Of shooting wells believe
in foreordination. "I think that man
will not die till his time comes, he
said. "a man is liable to die at any
calling, no matter how safe it may be
considered. He will pass through all
kinds of dangers and never sustain the
slightest injury. Then he is knocked
out of existence when he least expects it.
"Glycerin men have to be quite
nervy, but there is not one CT them who
does not feel that he is in no great dan
ger. They think they will live out their
allotted time and will not be blown up
until the predestined event is due. We
are handling death every day and know
it, but by the exercise Of caution and
common sense there are but few Of Us
comparatively that are killed. The rail-
road men are much more liable to acci-
dental death than glycerin men are. ~

Asthma From Asparagus.

Among the curiosities of medical lit

well authenticated, of the peculiar sus-
ceptibility Of certain unfortunate indi-

known to have produced attacks Of
spasmodic asthma are roses, musk, tea,
ipecacuanha, the odor Of cat, fried
fish, the dust Of oats, malt, rice, feath-

ton Of old houses. Dr.. Eugene De-
