French chamber of deputies, petition
having been sent to it asking that its
use may be permitted as nourishment
for babies. Some doctors favor II.
Clouds that move in a contrary d.
rection to that of the surface current
Indicate change of weather, because
they prove the existence of two air

causes rain.
Poisonous snakes when with young
are sluggish and retiring in their hab-
its. The little ones are born with
fGngs ard poison glands in full per-
lection, and are dangerous even be-
fore tasting food or water. The young
are much more active than the adults
and probably their poison is more vir-
ulent.
NJ. Henri Coupon has been expert
menting with the action of anaesthet-
les on seeds. He shows that they do
not injure the grain, but the insects
that attack it are destroyed. Chloro-
form Is recommended. The grain is,
however very sensitive to all amaze
sthetic vapors, which retard their ger
mination or kill them.
In Siam the liquid measure used is
derived from n cocoanut shell which
is capable of holding $50 tamarind
seeds, and 20 of these units equal a
capacity of wooden bucket. In dry
measure, $50 tamarind seeds make one
"kanahn," and 25 k'anahn" make one
sat" or bamboo basket; so sat"
make one "kwien," or cart. This Is
an example of the primitive origin of
most units of weights and measures.

A QUESTION OF EXphDIENCY.
The Prosecution of Dutch Colonial

Inc fFhsetuttOn o1 butch Colonial
Rebels Taken in Arms.
Cape Town, Wednesday, Jan. TO-
The proceedings for treason instituted
against the Dutch colonials who were
taken in arms at Sunnyside are be-
Ing prepared. Witnesses were inter
rogated yesterday, and the prelimi-
nary trial will be held very soon. The
trial will probably be conducted by
the supreme court.
The Colonial Dutch point out that
these prosecutions will serve TO make
more rebels, as they consider the treat
ment of the prisoners designed to ter
rify them. Some Britons regard the
prosecutions as impolitic, in view of
the fact that the Beers are able 10
retaliate upon the 100 British officers
and the $500 privates in their hands.
and might do so unless all who fight
in the Boer ranks are treated as pris-
oners OF war.

every campmeeting held on the grounds
and is here now. She gives many in.
teresting "reminiscences OF those days.
When there was no covering overhead
but the sky, except the little tents in
which they slept. The cooking was
done out doors, and very often the meal
was much spoiled by storms OF wind
and rain. She shows yet the little side
bracket for holding the tallow candle
used at the first meeting and many sub
sequent ones. There were but few ac-
commodatlons in those days, but the
good old sisters are inclined to think
there was great deal more religion then
than now. Mrs. Lockwood has also
been ut every meeting.
The ladies' OF the Camp Ground Asso-
clation held an interesting meeting two
