In murder trial at Dallas, Tex. the
other day the counsel for the defense
was examining venireman regarding
his qualifications to serve. The candi-
date admitted that he had once been a
member of jury which tried a negro
for murder. 1t is not permissible in
such cases to ask the result of the trial,
so the counsel said:
Where is that negro now?

SEEDS FROM ORIENT.
Several Have Been Selected for Tria
In This Country.

Several Have Reen Selected for Trial
In This Country.
WASHINGTON, March 12.-Prof. S.
F. Knapp, the special commissioner of
Secretary Wilson to the Orient to i'll
vest1gate the availability of Eastern
plants and seeds for common use in
this country. and to secure specimens
of those that are valuable, has sub
mitted his preliminary report summing
up the work. The plants selected for
experiment include persimmons, BAN
boo, Japan plums, pears, camphor trees
and hagi. Hagi Is a new forage plant
apparently of great value. It stands
the drOuth well, is similar to alfalfa
in characteristics and nutritive value,
but more hardy; thrives on poorer
soil and has more vigorous growth
A variety Of rice was brought from
the island Of Keushi, which, it Is said
will not break up in the mill, which
causes loss of 40 to rs per cent in the
rice in use.
The department of agriculture has
also received consignment of varie-
ties of Russian grains and other prod
ucts, the grains being selected with the
expectation that they will resist rust
and drouth. All these are not for gen
eral distribution, but are to be ex-
perimented upon first at the agricul-
tural stations.

Nicaragua canal amendment in the
river and harbor bill, said:
1.-The statement of Mr. Cannon to the
effect that the United States would
have paid $5,O00,000 for a worthless
concession is incorrect. The senate
canal bill provided, for the appoint
mept by the president of appraisers
to value any property purchased and
the amount to be paid for any such
property was limited to- IS, 600. 900. AS
to the canal amendment Inserted in the
river and harbor bill not a word was
said about the payment of $4,000, 900
for any purpose. That amendment
behalf of the United States, to acquire
such portions of territory now belong
ing to. Costa Rica and Nicaragua, or
such rights as may be necessary to
control and defend canal and SO on.
There Is nothing in that provision re-
curing the payment Of 100000 nor
five cents.
IT do not and did not Interpret that
amendment as authorizing the presi-
dent to obtain a concession or the
property of any corporation, as I do
not believe that such concessions are
worth anything. But if It did author
lie him to do so, it is not true that the
United States would have paid Sc, O00,-
900 for a worthless concession unless
of the United States would be party
to it,
Asked what action he thought the
president would take under the provis-
ion finally adopted by congress, Sena-
tor Frye replied:
bers, to the Walker commission, and
that he will direct them to proceed at
once to Panama and inspect the canal
there and report on that route. BY
/ the time that Is done the Walker com
mission will have been able to com
plete it's report in regard to the Mica
ragua route. In my opinion this re-
port will give everything needed In the
way of information as to the Nicara-
qua route, and there would be no ne
cessity for acquiring any more infor-
nation concerning that route"

MANILA CEMETERY.
When the Grave Rental Is Not Paid
the Corpse Goes to the BOneyard

When the Grave Rental Is Not Paid
the Corpse Goes to the BOneyard.
From the Chicago Record.
One of the most interesting spots Of
Manila is the old Pace cemetery, with
its massive walls suggestive rather of
defense for the living than of a last
refuge of the dead.
The cemetery is in a circular space
1nclosed by huge wall Of masonry
eight or nine feet thick and ten feet
high The only entrance is through a
gate of iron and wood of great strength
which still further adds to the appear
ance of fertilization. Within this cir
cular wall is a second wall built in the
same manner, presenting a solid front
to the exterior. The interior is q
honeycomb of crypts In which the cor
fins of the dead are placed, the en-
trance being sealed by small ornamen-
tai tablets of stone bearing the names
Of the dead.
In many Of the crypts there is
double door, the outer one being of
glass, through which quaint images
OF the virgin and the infant Christ or
some other decoration such as rudely
fashioned artificial flowers are seen.
This same idea is carried out more ele-
gantly in the cOlumbariums of our
American crematories, but there it is
impressive, here pitiful
l scarcely expected to find much
veneration fer the poor human clay in
these wild lands
My feeling of reverence was soon
dispelled when my guide informed me
that each crypt rented for about $35
yearly-a small fortune for these peo-
ple-and when the inmate was for
gotten or the relatives became i'm
poverished or for any reason this rem
tai was unpaid the remains were i'm
mediately swept from the tomb and
cast into common receptacle for all
like unfortunates-"th boneyard.'
While in the cemetery 1 saw crypt
opened and the contents cast into this
horrible spot where hundreds of hui
man skeletons bear witness that SOON
er or later all would be cast from the
crypts. At the mouth of the tomb
small spray Of a wild flower testified
to a heart still warm which doubtless
bled and suffered because poverty
could not Fay this tax of the dead. I
glanced at the inscription painted on
the wooden tablet which, translated,
read:
Antonio Deagracio. Aged i've years.
Died Nov 1, 1897
Within the inner circle in a pretty,
shaded grass plot, were the newly
made graves, marked by painted wood
en- tablets, of our American soldiers.
On many graves were planted palms
and flowers-the work of the comrade
left behind. The tablets were carved
by the same honest hands-tributes of
love and patriotic affection, and a last
farewell. Fifty feet away was the
boneyard. a yawning chasm.

HABITS OF HORSES.
Facts in Equine Nature-Fear Of
Wolves and Tendency to Shy,

Facts In Equine Nature-Fear OF
Wolves and Tendency to Shy.
From Our Animals Friends.
Another animal which, when In a
state OF nature, lives in droves, is the
horse. 1t Is almost as defenseless as
the sheep, and when a heard of wild
horses Is attacked by wolves there is
no escape but in fight. In it's wild
state the horses natural habitat is on
the open plains, not in mountainous re-
g1ons, but on the stepepes of Asia, and
when attacked by wolves Its only safe
ty lies in Its superior speed If the
young foal were not as swift as its
parents it would fall an easy prev to
the pursuer, and so, within a few gen.
erations the wild horse might be utter
ly destroyed by its enemies. The Gu
rious thing is that the foal Is quite as
swift as It's parents. When one looks
at 1t, even In it's domesticated condi-
ton. it seems to be all legs, and one
is surprised to see how easily the slight
body is borne along on those long legs
beside the mother, even when she is
running at her swiftest rate In that
fact lies the safety of the wild horse
from destruction, and the thousands
of generations in which that useful ami
NAL have been domesticated have
brought no change in the peculiar con-
it is no longer needed for it's original
purpose
Another curious thing is that one of
the faults Of the horse of which we are
apt to complain, we mean that habit
Of shying, is a revival Of an old habit,
which was useful and necessary when
it's ancestors were still roaming wild
upon the plains. Then every horse was
constantly on the lookout for an enemy,
| and 1t did not look only with one eye.
It. habitually kept turning its ear in
all directions, SO as to catch the slight
est sound which should indicate the
presence of danger. Not only when
wolf was seen did the herd take flight;
any sound, as of the wolf breaking
through the long grass, caused an in
Simultaneous stampede; and something
of that habit still survives. The horse
seldom fears an object which it sees,
unless the appear suddenly; but the
sudden appearance of some light thing,
driven by the wind, or some light sound
that perhaps may not be heard by his
master, may cause an instant and in
voluntary shy, such as the poor brute
would instinctively make if he were
still wild upon the plains. How unjust
1t IS, and how utterly stupid, to Justify
his terror by whipping him for such a
fault! To do so is to make him only
so much the reader to shy again, re-
membering-and he Is sure to remem-
ber-that even If there has been no
reason for his Involuntary shying, there
something to dread Immediately af-
terward. The only sensible way to
deal with this remnant of wildness in
the domesticated horse is to stop and
let him feel that there is nothing to
fear, and so break down that remnant
of his old and perfectly natural habit
Of flight from possible danger.

LONG ON PENNIES.
A Man With More Than He Can Use

Man with More Thnn He Can Use
in Year Two.
From the New York Times.
Over In Brooklyn there is lumber dealer
who has learned what it is to have too
much of good thing. He has occasional use
for pennies. He also has among his Gus
toners man who makes hand organs for
the use Of the stree. beggars. To this maker
OF Italian street musicians supplies he had
successfully applied on several occasions for
pennies in small amounts. week or so
after the last CT these applications the hand
organ maker drove up to the office of the
lumber merchant, and with much effort man
aged to haul into the office a nose bag such
as horses are fed from when standing on the
street. There was a smile of satisfaction
the face CT the organmaker as he lifted the
bag and pluGLped it with a resounding and
metallic clang on the desk of the merchant.
You like the pennies, he said. cordially
as he beamed upor the luInberman. Il have
here $500 of them. How you .s1e?" And he
fairly dubbed over with good nature.
AS 1t wouldn't do to offend a good Gus
toner, the lumberman took the pennies ard
passed over bills for them. But he took good
care to let his customer know that he
wouldn't need any more small change for a
year or two and that he might find some
other place In which to unload the pennies
of the organ grinders in the future
