 A COAT WHICH CREW.
story ofra Clever Prisoners Plan for
 Escape.

fsIapS.
 Green Casey, a convict at San Quen- tn, has won the admiration of all his fellow conviefs at the prison for the novel e6ntrivance he has invented in order to make his escape from the priz' oa walls some time ago, and through
 .angdon of Santa Clara county. t fy has leaked out, says the Sah Fl cisco Call. Casey was kind of tresty around the prison grounds. and while working in one of the grounds iD the vicinity of the prison he took it into his head that he would like to es- cape, and was beginning to tax his mind as to the most advantageous way to suit his purpose As he was stroll ing around on the green grass which grows in abundance around the prison, an idea struck him that if he could initiate the grass by some means he could elude the Watchful sentries and make good his escape. Through the 1id of his convict friends he procured some pieces of burlap, and with the aid of some rope made them into a long coat that would cover him completely when lying on the grass. He then se- cured some wheat from the prison stable and sowed it down carelessly at one end of the prison grounds, and Watered it daily. In a few weeks the grass grew up through the sack coat, and before great while the piece of burlap was eonformed into a grassy lawn. He was now ready to carry out his plans, and patiently waited an op- portunity. At last he succeeded in get ting his new eontriyance across to the northwest of the prison, and in few minutes was under his grassy coat. Slowly he crept along with the clever ness of worm, and from all appear ances success would crown his efforts. But his progress was too rapid, and very soon he heard footsteps coming in his direction. The moving grass plat, which was slowly making it's way up the hillside soon came to a sudden standstill as the eye Of guard had noticed the grass moving and came to investigate the phenomenon. A kick in the ribs apprised Casey that his plan had been discovered. The guard took Casey, and red shirt ION covers his breast

WHY WOMEN WORRY MOST.
Have More Leisure Time Than Men and
 Naturally Think Over Things.


 Naturally Think Over Things.
 From time immemorial women have been told-by women, as we'll as men, though naturally more often by the latter-that worry digs wrinkles in their faces and sprinkles gray among their tresses. These warnings do lit tie good. The fair creatures go on worrying and will probably continue to do so until the millennium comes. Why this is so is answered in this way: The question of worry with women seems to be simply this: Wom- en are so hedged about by the little ness of their protected lives-for it is the protected woman who does the most worrying-that it is hard to see beyond and above sometimes, and mat ters in this way get wholly out of fo GUS. If women had the capacity with men of getting up and doing battle with things, worry would slip off their shoulders as easily as from off those of the average masculine. Man doesn't worry about debt, because he feels that he has it within him (since money making is his business) to make sufti- cient money to pay his debts-some time. Women look at it more prac- tieally, and consider the now. Man doesn't generally worry about his health, because he really has not the time. Let him become i'll, though, and have to stop his work, and how is it with him? Man doesn't worry about the future--he is so madly interested in the present; nor about his clothes, for the tailor stands between him and that; nor about home matters-they, from his point of view, are too trivial until he comes home to badly cook ed dinner, and then in his broad out look there is no excuse for this state of things, for in business, if an em- ploye does not do his work properly, his employer gets some one who can, a method that will yet come to be powerful lever in the leveling of wom- en's worries.-Detroit Free Press.

SENT TWICE ACROSS OCEAN.
whisky Is Seasoned by the Voyages It
 Takes While h Bond.

Large shipments of whisky in bond from American to European ports are constantly being made. It is not de- signedfor foreign consumption. but VIII shortly be returned here and placed on sale at the hest bars in the country. Several thousand barrels are now awaiting shipment at our seaports. While some of the whisky will be sent by Baltimore owners, the most of 1t will be from Cincinnati and other western cities. After being kept in European warehouses for six months or a year the greater part will then be brought back to this country for sac. The whisky to be sent out is of the 1891 and 1892 distillation, which must be taken out Of the bonded warehouses because the eigh-year limit has expir- ed. Whisky may be stored in bonded warehouse eight years without being subject to the international revenue of $f.10 a gallon. At the expiration of eight years it must be taken out. Rath- CT than pay the tax and lose the use of the money until the sale of the goods, some owners prefer to ship their sur plus stock to the other side and store them there until needed, claiming that the cost of freight both ways and stor- age in Europe will be less than the cost of meeting internal revenue re- quirements at time when there is no demand for the goods. The tax is only required to be paid when whisky is put on the market for consumption so that goods shipped to Europe in bond are not taxed They are brought back as required by the demands of the market here. Goods remaining in this country out of bond are supposed to be on the market. This method is pur- sued by dealers and distillers who overload themselves. The output ir 1892 was heavier than the demand, and it is part of the surplus which is now going to Europe to await the time when it must be brought back to be placed on the market.

THE TwINE PLANT CLOSED.

The penitentiary Irvine plant has
closed down and will make no more
twine.
There are two reasons for closing
the plant, and the main one is that "a
large amount of twine remains unsoid.
There 10 about 800, 600 pounds. or near
Iy $4,000 worth of tw6ne stacked up
IN the warerooms. The second reason
is that the price of raw material is
very high at present, and the chances
are that it will fall within a couple of
months. All wheat binding twine
made from now on has to be carried
over until next season, and should the
price of raw material decrease. the
state would suffer loss by buying ait
this time.
The MAILING of twine alt the peni-
feniary has proved beneficial to the
farmers of Kansas, but so far it has
not been very profitable to the state
Kansas wheat raisers have been able
to get their twiDe made from two TO
FIVE cents pound cheaper than the
twine trust intended to sell il for. The
tw,ine trust finally came down to pen
itentiary prices. and cuts were made
on both sides.

In discussing this years apple crop
Fred Wellhouse. the veteran apple
grower, SAID yesterday, that while il
is impossible TO estimate the final out
put. 'at this slime. conditions are very
favorable; and If they continue SO, The
crop will be easily 4.000.Q00 bushels.
This crop which now appears in pros
pect. is as big as the one in 1870.
THERE'S a total I'm Kansas of ] ,000.-
600 apple trees planted upon about
100000 acres of land.
The largest apple orchard in the
state. as we'll as i'm the world. is in
Usage county. 1t consists of 500 acres
and is the property of Mr.. Wellhouse
and his two brothers.
These gentlemen own. besides this
vast tract. 6ST acres in four Leaven-
worth county orchards. and 160 acres
in Miami county. making a total of
i.647 acres. all in bearing trees. One
third Of this vast acreage, or more
than 500 arfes Is planted in Ben Davis
apples.
According 10 the records kept by
MIR Wellhouse. and he has record of
every bushel Of apples which his or
chards have produced. these 1,647 acres
have produced in 20 years total of
416. 900 bushels.
Mr. Wellhouse has found through
his 20 years of observation that the
annual output of the Ben Davis vari-
ETY. is .s36 of an average crop; Mis-
