Evansville, Ind, has PROSECUTING
BILE, who HAS record of having
persuaded in one year over 100 offend
ers to renounce their evil ways and
to become respectable members of So
ciety. The constable has the sympathy
and assistance of the judge of the local
court in his methods, and boasts that
he is accomplishing more for good order
and morality than any other officer in
the state. Whenever he arrests man
he asks him if he wants to join the
church. If the man shows disposition
TO reform he is treated with considera-
ton, and the court shows lenity. If the
law-breaker has no desire to become a
church member he is given the full limit
of the law. There is an altar in the con-
stables Office, and it is said to be moth
ing unusual to see him kneeling in
prayer with some man who has violated
the law. The officer is member of the
Free Will Baptist church, but many who
differ with him in religious belief do all
they can to assist him. Conspicuous in
his Office is sign: mo swearing in this
Office. 1t is against the laws of Indiana
to swear"

The wife Of man named Moon. in Ar
kansas, presented him with fine boy
This, says funny exchange, was a
new moon. The father celebrated the
event by drinking himself full. This
was the full moon. When he awoke
from his drunken stupor all he had
left in his pockets was IS cents. This
was the last quarter. His mother-in'
law beat him over the head with club
thus giving him teal eclipse.

The Cattle Trade.

There are about e,750,OO0 cattle in
Kansas. OF these about 100000 are
mich cows, a similar number are work.
ing oxen and the remainder, about l.
100000, are being fattened for food, and
at the proper season will be shipped to
Kansas City, st. Joseph or Chicago TO
be slaughtered. Like every other
human occupation, the cattle trade is
undergoing evolution. Experience is
teaching new methods by which the
greatest profit can be secured by the
least outlay of labor and cost. The
breeding and fattening of live stock has
been reduced to an exact science. There
are three kinds of cattle, commercially
speaking. The wild or range cattle,
mixed cows and steers two years old,
are bred in Texas and Indian territory
mostly, and shipped from Elgin and
other points of lesser Importance to the
stock yards of Kansas City. There they
are divided into Gamers, stockers and
feeders. Stockers are good breeding
COWS, which are sold and sent back to
the farms of Kansas to multiply and re-
plenish the barnyards. Feeders are
steers that will be likely to take on
flesh If well fed, and are sent to the fat
tening farms, where for short year
they revel in luxury, and then pay the
penalty at the butchers block. 1t has
been found that $50 bushels of corn,
more or less, will add 500 pounds of beef
to the weight of the steer and increase
his value from SIS or $40 to $40 or $50.
When steer is fattened he is usually
sold by the pound according to the rates
prevailing in the Kansas City and Chi
cago markets, somewhere between five
and six cents a pound. The difference
between the value of the raw material
and that of the finished product, less
the cost of $50 bushels of corn, is the
profit of the farmer. Gamers are a low
grade that are hard to fatten and are
not considered worthy of the honor of
assisting to perpetuate their species. 1t
Is case of the survival of the fittest,
and they are sent to the cXecutioner
without further ceremony. The beet
they have carried around on their bones
goes to the factories to be corned,
picked, sailed, smoked and canned in

Grape Seeds and Appendicitis.

Vick's Magazine says that there is
not one authenticated case of any grape
or other seed or any foreign body be-
ing found in the vermiforrn appendix of
the human stomach, for the reason that
the interior of the appendix is big
enough to admit only medium-sized
darning needle" This, observes the
Albany Argus, is Numerically opposed
to the common belief that appendicitis
is usually, or often, caused by the
swallowing of seeds = particularly
representation lodge in the appen-
dix, causing the Inflammation and pro-
ducing the dangerous disease known as
appendicitis. Don't swallow the
Seeds" warningly exclaims the moth
er, when her little one is eating grapes.
Yet we have heard more than one rep
utable physician say, as Vick's Maya
zine says, that he never knew OF case
where seed or any other foreign sub
stance was found in the appendixv ermi-
formis. "Vick's Magazine" remarks
the Binghamton Leader, us respecta-
BILE publication and, it is presumed.
would not deceive the public. Blu.
Vick's Magazine represents large and
lucrative business, in which fruits and
berries of all kinds, including grapes
and other productions of vines, must be
included The statement about the in
terror or opening of the vermiform ap-
pendix, therefore, may be thought by
some people to be carelessly made. 1t
| is a question of the greatest Importance
to the public, for the use of grapes, tits
well known, has fallen off to great
extent. and few people now indulge in
eating the fruit without fear of the
consequences. Grapes are wholesome
and healthy fruit, and they delight the
palate of most persons" What say you,
gentlemen of the medical profession?
May we eat grapes? Dare we swallow
the seeds? Which shall we consult
the appetite for fruits with seeds in
them. or the prevalent dread that APP
pendix vermiformis may not like it?

There ought to be good opening for
enterprising BARRIERS in Porto Rico, but
they would have to educate the natives
up to going to be shaved by "profes-
SIGNALS" At present the male masses
shave themselves, and they do it in the
most primitive way. They make their
own shaving soap out of cocoanut oil
aud homemade lye; a cocoanut shell
serves as shaving cup, a donkey's tail
as a brush, fragment of bottle as a
razor, and stream or pool as mir
ror. Looking glasses are said to be ex-
tremely rare among the common people
of the island. The natives are very ex-
pert in the use of their glass razors, and
rarely innict even slight injury upon
themselves.

The Arkansas legislature has passed
a game law that will subject to fine a
woman wearing stuffed bird on her
hat. 1t provides that "any person who
shall have in possession, or who shall
sell or expose for sale any feathers or
skins or parts of birds for use in mil
linery or similar purposes, or shall kill
for such purposes any birds in this
state, shall be deemed guilty of mis-
demeanor, and upon conviction shall be
fined not less than $25 nor more than
$50 for each bird skin or part of skin or
parcel of feathers so sold or offered for
sale or killed for that purpose"

A Santa Fe section foreman working
near that town recently made the fol-
lowing report to the roadmaster:
"MacWhorter's bull struck at the long
siding and was killed. We found him
alongside the track. and, as he was not
quite dead then, borrowed u gun and
shot him three times, killing him again
Dennis Sullivan then struck him an
other blow on the head with pick
and finished him. The bull is now
dead"
