a Heavy Load.

Some Of the Republican newspapers
are beginning to realize that their party
will find the Administrations foreign
policy heavy load to carry next year:
They are begging the president to call
a halt in his imperialism and some Of
them predict that if he does not do SO
he will be rebuked by the people at the
first opportunity We quoted recently
the comments of the Washington Post
on the Philippine situation. While
The Post claims to be an independent
newsper it has been a staunch support
er of the administration and yet it prac-
tically admits that the president mas
made mess of the Philippine war.
The Minneapolis Tribune, the leading
Republican newspaper Of the northwest,
frankly tells the president that if the
Philippine problem is not solved year
hence his reelection will be very doubt:
full. There are many independent and
Republican newspapers who talk like
the Washington Post and the Mime
apolis Tribune. The Democratic press
is almost solidly opposed to the impe-
rialistic tendencies Of the administra-
ton and in favor Of making them as
prominent an issue as possible IN the
campaign of next year.

OLD TIME LAWS.
Legislation That Would Seem Queer
Enough These Days.

In 1649 'irreligion" was made an Of
fense against the law in Massachusetts,.
Absence from church was punished by
fine. Denial Of truth or inspiration Of
any book Of the Bible was punished by
fine, stripes, exile and death.
In 1851 the Massachusetts legislature
prohibited persons whose estate did not
exce.d goo 81, ,COO from wearing lace
costing over two shillings as cents)
yard.
In 1851 Quakers who came to Ameri-
ca as refuge from Puritan persecution
in England found a rude welcome.
They were fined, whipped and banished.
On first conviction Of the heinious
crime of being a Quaker one ear was
Topped off; on the third the tongne was
bored with redhot iron. Any one en-
tering ''the accursed sect" was fined.
a London woman, lately over, rebuked
magistrate for imposing the penalty,
and was whipped with 20 stripes. In
1859 two Quakers were hanged in the
Massachusetts, colony for returning
there after benig punished. And Mary
Dyer missed like fate by the narrow
est of margins. She was equally gull
ty, and the rope was around her neck,
but she was reprieved But the follow
ing June she was hanged at Boston,
the charge Of being a Quaker having
been found sustained-and sufficient.
Charles II was about all the friend in
authority those plain people had. He
ordered the prosecutions in New Eng
land to cease, and was but indifferently
obeyed. In Virginia John Burgess was
expelled from the assembly for "being
well affected toward the Quakers.' %
A committee of the English house Of
com mons reported in 1908 that ''the
slave trade was important and ought to
be free" And another committee,
three years later, reported that the
plantations ought to be supplied with
negroes at reasonable rates, and re-
commended an increase IN the trade.
In 1712 the Pennsylvania assembly
replied to petition to emancipate tie
negroes that it was neither just nor
convenient to set them at liberty"
South Carolina solemnly declared that
baptism was mot inconsistent with
slavery so that even negroes might be
converted. Virginia had, however,
set the example for that broad charity
in 1867.
Theatrical representations were pro-
hibited in Massachusetts and Connecti-
cut in 1749.

Tho Climate Of Cape Colony.

The climate of the Cape Colony, and
indeed Of South Africa, may be COM
pared to that Of the south Of Europe
and the north Of Africa, with frost
and snow on the highest lands and
subtropical belts on the lowest lying
parts, as in Natal, Zululand and Mas
honaland. 1t may be roughly said that
any part Of South Africa is better for
those suffering from chest complaint
than is the climate Of our home coun-
try, at the most trying time Of the year.
But those who come to South Africa
hoping to escape from this disease
should not as a general rule delay on
the coast.
The Cape peninsula is delightful for
most people, but it is not by any means
best for those who are constitutionally
inclined to consumption. They must
leave the coast, no matter how many
inducements there may be for them
to stay. and climb the tableland which
faces them at whatever port they may
land. At irregular distances from the
sea we have probably nowhere more
than a hundred miles Of low-lying
coast lands before we ascend.Once on
the tableland, so far as climate goes,
it matters not in what direction health
seekers proceed, the climate is equally
good.

a Good. Showing.

Reliable poultry statistics that are Of
practical value are difficult to get, for
the reason that not one poultry raiser
out of a hundred in this section even
pretends to keep record. Mr.. Brooks
Inman. Of Yorkville, however, gave the
reporter of the Enquirer recently some
figures that are quite interesting.
Since January last up to today" said
Mr.. Inman, II have had 26 Brown
Leghorn hens, and in the time mention
ed they have laid 225 dozen eggs. a
great many of these eggs, | have sold at
a dollar setting, but at y! cents per
dozen the gross income would have
amounted to $2S.l2!. During this
time, the hens have cost on account Of
feed and other expenses $1l.o0, leav-
ing a net profit of 1882, and the hens
practically of the same value as at the
beginning of the year." According to
these figures it would seem that chick
en- raising is a pretty good business, es-
pecially if the chickens are locked after
properly, and accorded intelligent at
tention. The Enquirer says there are
several other poultry raisers in York
vile who are in the business as extern
sively as Mr.. Inman, and perhaps some
of them may be able to report results
even more satisfactory.

sneed of an Earthquake.

The course which an earthquake
runs is usually very rapid. From the
instant when the first shock was felt
at Lisbon to the period when all was
over, and many thousands Of people
killed, not more than two minutes had
elapsed. Usually from ten to thirty
seconds elapsed between the first and
last shocks of severe earthquake. But
this lightning speed IS not always the
earthquakes mode oftraVeling. While
Caracas, in Venezuela, was almost
totally destroyed and 1900 people
were killed in less than twenty seconds
by the great shock there many years
back, there are cases in which con-
stantly recurring shocks have lasted
for weeks. No matter how brief the
span, the most frightful havoc can
be wrought and the wave Of destruct-
ion propagated from the most distant
regions. The rumbling earth-sound
travels at the rate Of about $1,000 to
1000 feet per second, and the earth
wave, on an average, about 1000 feet
in the same space Of time.

Why We Yawn.

There can be little doubt that one
of the objects CT yawning is the exer-
else of muscles which have been for a
long time quiescent, and the accelera-
ton of the blood and lymph flow
which has in consequence Of this Qui-
escence become sluggish. Hence its
frequency after one has remained for
some time in the same position-for
example, when waking il the morn
ing.
Cooperating with this cause is
sIeepiness and the shallow breathing
which it entails. This factor, as well
as muscle quiescence, is apt to attend
the sense Of boredom which one expe-
riences in listening to dull sermon.
Hence it is that the bored Individual IS
apt to yawn. AS in the case Of sigh
ing, the deep breath which accompa-
MES the act of yawning compensates
for the shallow breathing which is so
apt to excite it.

for making honey and wax has inter-
ested the Department Of Agriculture in
the consideration Of an early effort to
introduce it into the United States
Secretary Wilson Sid in connection
with the proposed importation of these
bees to the United States that a special
appropriation would be asked in his
coming report to Congress for the in
vestigation Of the bees Of the world,
and swarm of the big Philippine
honeymakers would be brought to
America as soon as the question OF
their value and the possibility Of their
acclimation have been fully determin-
ed. There will also be an appropriation
requested for the study of the agricul-
tural and kindred products Of the new
Iy acquired territory Of the United
States, and even under this head the
great honey bees Of the east could be
introduced by the department to this
country.

THE STORY OF 4 PARDON.
Arrested and Sent to Serve Sentence
After Thirty Years Freedom.

Sent back to serve out sentence al
ter having escaped from the State pri-
son 81 years ago. Such was the fate
of Hope Frazier, an ageo Negro who
was sent to the-penitentiary from Col
Teton county two weeks ago. But the
governor has pardoned him, and the old
ex-slave can go back to his children and
his grand children, born since he es-
capped from prison over 80 years ago.
The members of the jury Of II ignorant
Negroes who convicted him are all dead.
All others interested in the case are
dead, and the governor pardoned the
poor old fellow upon the petition Of
those who in latter years have found
him an humble but good citizen.
In January, 1867, the Negro was con-
victed Of larceny CT live stock and SEN
fenced by Judge Platt to two years in
the State prison. The convict was
brought to Columbia. For II months
he served his sentence. There were no
great, forbidding walls; there were no
massive stone prison buildings; there
was no great army of convicts there.
The State prison was wooden affair
and the walls offered little security.
One day Hope found an easy"
place on the wall and quietly took his
departure from servitude quite differ
ent from that to which he had before
been accustomed; for it was but two
years after the close Of the war, aud
Hope had been slave. Back to Col
Teton county he went. As if nothing
had happened he resumed his work on
the Middleton and Burnett plantations.
For 81 years he has followed the even
tenor of his way until two week ago
Thursday, when he was arrested as an
escaped convict. 1t was an old grudge
somebody had against me, marster, "
the poor old fellow said. ''Fol 81 years
l have gone right there to that cote
house and paid my taxes without any
one bothering me, and after this long
time they arrested me. l didn't done

Poor old ex-slave, with his warped
ideas of morality!
With the weight of y years on his
shoulders the prison life i'll became
him. Friends interested themselves in
his behalf and the governor Thursday
made him free man.-The State.
