the judges Of this, the Seventh Judi

Seventh district and his words Of
praise and commentator OF Judge
Searle AZ an official carry with them

Judge Searle has been upon the

that he has honored an honorable
official position. At all times just
and impartial, dealing out justice
without fear or favor a deep student
OF the law, an able and earned at

ed as one of the most brilliant
Judges in the state. The Seventh
district is a large one and contains
many able attorneys and yet in the
entire galaxy Of legal talent there ia
not one who is superior to the pres

A Curious Rescue.

A curious rescue was effected recent
ly in the County Wicklow, Ireland.
Some time in April last an unfortunate
sheep became imprisoned on a part Of
the rugged cliffs arising from the
banks of the Upper Lake Glendalough,
and though many plans were proposed
to get it down, no one was found will
ing to undertake the risk, when gen.
tleman from South Africa volunteered:
to rescue the poor animal. After AN.
arduous and exciting climb, he mamr
aged to reach the spot, and, having at
tached a rope to the sheep, it was
lowered to the lake, where a boat was
ready to receive it. So hungry was
l. poor brute that when dangling in
the air it tried to bite at the tufts of
grass on the face of the cliff. 1t must
have died of starvation in a very few
days more, as every. bit of herbage
within reach was nibbled to the earth
Some idea of the risk this rescuer ran
may be gathered from the fact that
this particular spot has always been
considered inaccessible, and that it
took the gentleman fully two hours
to make the ascent The lake under
the cliff is forty fathoms deep.

PET ANIMALS BECOME PESTS.

Horses, Cats, Pigs. Goats and Rabbits
All Have Become Nu:sances.
Ordinary domestic animals under ia
vorable conditions often become pests.
Some instances: In 1897 Nevada passed
a law permitting the killing of wild
horses as nuisances. In Washington
they are cut up to bait traps. Most of
the wild horses on the continent are
descended from a few loosed by Cortez
in Mexico. In Australia hunters shoot
wild horses, which eat grass :-aeded by
the sheep and Cattle. Cats have made
a home on Cat island, one of the Ker-
guelens, where they are so wild that it
is impossible to tame them. Their pro-
genitors escaped from whaling vessels.
They were put ashore on Sable island,
off Nova Scotia, to kill the rabbits that
had become a pest. Now the rabbits
are gone and the cats are worse. Pigs
were put ashore on many Islands, such
as Bermuda, the Galapagos and is
lands along the southern coast, as food
for shipwrecked sailors. In every case
they have multiplied and become wild.
Capt. Cook put some ashore on New
Zealand, where they are now shot as
game. st. Helena, mountainous is
land of small extent, 2,700 feet high,
was heavily wooded at it's discovery
To-day it is a rocky desert, owing to
the introduction of goats by the Por-
tuguese in 1913. When the goats ate
off the underbrush rain washed away
the soil and the big trees tumbled.
Rabbits are the worst of all animal
scourges in Australia and New Zea-
land. They are poisoned, killed for
their skins, for their meat; but still
they multiply. Cats alone can kill
them off: but then cats become a pest
also. Since 1873 New Zealand has
shipped more than 200,OOO,O00 rabbit
skins.-New York World.

gas, such as sulphurous acid, ammonia,
sulphuretted hydrogen, etc., which vary
in quantity according to the purity Of
the gas. Each has its own deleterious

GANCs-NEEDLE MA CHIMES
One Of Il the Many Varieties OF Sewing
Machines Made Nowadays.


Machines Made Nova days.
@s It is more or less familiar fact that
sewing machines are used nowadays
for sewing many different materials,
as leather, paper, canvas, carpets, rub
Der. They are used for making but
tonholes and sewing on buttons. They
are made OF many types and in simply
hundreds OF varieties for special USES
But it may not be known so common
~ that there are many sewing ma
chimes now made with more than one
needle. The first of these, two
needle machine, was made in the early
eighties, about fifteen years ago. 1t
was used by manufacturers of heavy
clothing, perhaps first of all by the
overall manufacturers, making seams
stronger by putting in two rows Of
stitching. The utility and economy of
the tWo-needle machine soon became
apparent and it came into widespread
and diversified use. Whenever two
rows OF stitching were to be made, a
eWo-needle machine was used. A IA
m1llar Illustration of the work is seen
IN the two parallel lines of stitching
running with perfect exactness around
the top of shoe vamp. Shirt sleeves
are stitched into the body of the shirt
ON double needs machine, the two
rows being made in the same time that
IL would take to make one Collars
and cuffs were stitched on two-needle
machines, as were a great variety of
these things, and later there were pro-
uuced machines with more than two
needles, the first of these coming: into
use within five or six years. There are
now made sewing machines with as.
many as twelve needles. A twelve
needle sewing machine simply has
Twelve needles where the ordinary
sewing machine would have one. In
stead OF a. single spool of thread OF the
top OF the machine there appears, there
rack OF twelve spools: There are
twelve tension disks. The thread from
each spool runs, through it's own ten
sion disk to it's own needle There are
below twelve shuttles, one for each
needle. When this machine is oper-
ated, it makes twelve rows of stitch
Ing, just as an ordinary machine would
make one. The t2-e:ve-needle machines
are used chiefly in the manufacture of

Twenty -one Million Pom ds Eaten IN tho

sTwenty-one hIllion Pounds Eaten In tho
United States Each Year.
There are, roughly speaking, 81 ,O0O,-
+ 900 pounds Of a1mon as consumed III the
United Il States each year, some eaten
with raisins, some used in the manu-
facture OF candy, some ground for
cream and favoring extracts, and
some, of an inferior quality, used for
perfumery and soap. The state of CAL
1fornia produces about 14,000,000
. pounds of almonds in a year, or two
thirds of the amount required for do
nestle consumption, and the other al
monds are imported from European
countries, from which, until a few
years ago, all the almonds were sent.
The figures of almond importations for
the fiscal year 1893 show impor tations
Of about 100000 pounds. Of this
amount 100000 came from Spain,
100000 from Italy, chiefly Sicily, and
the balance from Greece and Portugal
Cocoanuts to the value of about $780,
600 year are imported into the United
States from foreign countries or from
countries which were under foreign
jurisdiction at the time of the last an
nual treasury report. Before the be-
ginning of the Cuban war for inde-
pendence the importation of cocoanuts
from Cuba into the United States was
to the value of about 100000 year.
With the beginning of the war it de-
clined, and under the present tariff the
duty on cocoanuts further reduced the
importation from Cuba, though large
increase in the shipments of cocoanuts
is expected this year under American
jurisdiction in Cuba and Porto Rico.
The competition of American with for
eign cocoanuts, the latter from the
West Indies and South American
states, has been more active than in
the case of almonds, for the reason
that the chief source of supply of
American cocoanuts is Florida, which
is in closer proximity to the New York
market. The annual report Of Florida
cocoanuts amounts to about 100000
pounds, of the value of about 100000
year, and the conditions as to al
monds and cocoanuts are in this par
ticular reversed. California produces
just twice as many almonds as are i'm
ported into the United States, whereas
Florida produces just one-half as many
cocoanuts as are mported.-Boston

Corpora tive Creamcries in Ireland.

In spite of the decided feeling against
cooperative creameries in some
quarters, they are on the increase in
Ireland. During the year 1898 returns
we're received by the registrar general
from 3S7 factories, or IS more than in
1897 and the hands employed had in
creased by 63l. OF the factories, 100
were owned by individual proprietors,
113 were the property. of joint stock
companies, and 1e5 belonged to the CO.
operative farmers. Nearly three
fourths of the total number of facto-
ries in the country are in the province
OF Munster. The quantity of creamery
butter produced in Ireland in 1888 was
1S,040 tons, as against l4,700 tons in
the previous year.
