Indignant to Find Policemln warming

Once upon time a Burglar looked
up from his work at the Office Safe
into which he was Drilling and De-
tected a Policeman in the act Of
Watching him from Behind the Stove.

I'm no Sneak. Come on with your

heaven, I'm no Spy and lnformer.
And when the Mayor hears of this per-
haps ii won't be Me that'll find him

ticipation was Justified. The mayor
caused him to be Discharged with
Apologies, and issued a statement to
the public Deprecating any action on
the part OF his Police Force that might

Have yor ever stopped to think that
the world Is hungry for fresh, highly
favored creamery butter, and that the
demand for the same is greater than
the creameries can supply? Have you
ever stopped to think that there is not
an eater in the land hungry for the
butter you sell at the grocery store ?
Nine OF every ten pounds of butter sold
at the grocery goes into a barrel and
is sold as packing stock for several
cents pounG less than the merchant
paid for it. and is not offered to the pub
lie as butter until 1t is purified and
sells at higher price than It's maker
received. What is wrong with such a
system? Give 10 your creamery every
pound of cream you make into thi1 low
priced grease. and the increase in
price you will receive will make you
smile.-Exchange

Damascus steel process who has served
half OF his ten years sentence for kill
ing a son-in-law. was recently paroled
by Governor Shaw OF Iowa In order
that his valuable discovery might NOT

steel can be made by his process much
cheaper than the steel OF ordinary

The late Bishop Williams OF Con-
necIicut was truly pious man, but
was sometimes placed in a position
where he envied the privileges of those
not of the cloth. At recent conclave
at the General Theological Seminary
they told this tale of the good bishops
wit: One summer day the bishop went
out fishing with a friend, and, as the
day was warm, they swung bottle
of rare Burgundy over the side OF a
rowboat When luncheon time came
the bishop essayed to pull the wine
aboard, already tasting in anticipation
the cool. delicious beverage. Through
some mishap the string slipped from
his fingers, and the bottle sank TO the
bottom of the river Bishop Williams
sat up with sigh, and said, with his
eyes sparkling: you say II. Jones
you're layman. Boston Journal

According to the experimenters at
the California station 100 hens weigh
ing three pounds each should daily re-
pounds; protein. 2.52 pounds; fat, 1.2;
carbohydrates, SO. To get this balance
in the circulation the various rations
are proposed, any one of which may be
used:
Ration 1.-6 lbs. wheat, lbs. bran, 2
lbs. middlings, lbs. crushed barley, 1
ID. cocoanut oil-cake meal, lbs. al
falfa hay, 75 lbs. blood meal.
Ration all lbs. wheat, 3 lbs. bran.
4 lbs. middlings, lbs. alfalfa hay, l Id.
meat meal.
Ration al lb. wheat, 3 lbs. bran. 5
lbs. crushed barley. sc lbs. cocoanut
oil-cake meal, 55 lbs. alfalfa hay.
Ration 40 lbs. wheat, 3.5 lbs.
bran, 30 lbs. alfalfa, 40 lbs. crushed
barley, 10 lb. meat meal.
Ration 80 lbs bran, lbs. mid
dlings, 5 lbs. bran, Is lbs. skim milk.
The California station has been look
ing into the poultry business good
deal and some valuable data have re-
suited. Analysing the egg. they found
the following: Shell, 1881 per cent OF
the whole; yolk. 32.47 per cent; white,
56.42 per cent. Over SO per cent of the
shell is found to be carbonate OF lime;
over per cent organic matter and
water; less than per cent carbonate
OF magnesia, and the same amount
phosphates. or the yolk, about half Is
water; 10 per cent protein and 33 per
cent fat. Mineral matters In the yolk--
lime, magnesia, phosphates-total less
than per cent. or the white, about
SO per cent is water, IL protein. and
fat about one-flfth of one per cent.
1t is evident from brief considera-
tion of tho subject that the powers OF
digestion OF fowls are somewhat diff.
ferent from that of other farm stock.
This difference is in favor OF the fowl
and is due to the gizzard. This makes
IL possible for the fowl 20 pulverize the
bony and other hard matter consumed.
To what extent this pulverlzed mate
rial is taken into the circulation we
do not yet know.

At last California has taken a step
toward a dairy school. The University
OF California announces that a dairy
school will begin at the university Oc-
tober and continue till December u.
The announcement is further made
that only 80 students will be received
the first year. This looks small along
side OF what some of the eastern states
are doing. but probably the California
dairymen are thankful for even a start.
II has been notorious that up to this
time the great gold-producing state
has been utterly negligent OF the edu-
cational interests of her dairymen.

The office of sherifr, in Brooklyn, as in
most other towns, is one OF the political
plums The incumbent always retires from

5'is cents every time prisoner is delivered

livered to him several times this fee alone
amounts to considerable figure. Thus
the prisoner is locked up directly after his
arrest to wait trial. There Is one fee. He
goes to court. and the justice. looking him
over, adjourns the case till next day. An
other fee for the sheriff. A second time he

Cells Not So Bad.
The cells, apart from the darkness, are
not bad. They are about twelve feet by six
on the ground floor and twelve feet high,
but each tier recedes from the one beneath
1t, so that the top cells are smallest Of ALL
Each has a double bunk with cast iron
frame and a canvas in place of mattress
A sheet a blanket and tiny pillow are
allowed to each prisoner. As If the lack of
d window were not enough, the doors are
five feet high and almost impervious by
reason of the heavy iron grill. Modern
prisons are strong enough when they have
doors of upright bars four inches apart
Nobody can walk between those bars and
the spaces between them admit air and
light.
1t Is evident that the attempt Is made
to keep the place Clean and considering the
class that occupies 1t, the success is remark

THE COUNTY JAILS
Short Term Prisoners Have Hard
Time of It.
WITNESSES OFTEN FARE THE WORST
Long Interval Between Arrest and
Trial.
TO L D OF THE TOM S

Most various of penal institutions is the
county Jail, and it is with possibly no ex-
ceItion, the worst, as it is occupied by
short term prisoners and by people await
ing trial, the rules regarding cleanliness
and employment are seldom enforced and
the place is dirty, i'll smelling, unhealthy
and repugnant. In some of the states
wise legislation has taken the prisons out
of the hands of politicians and has an
pointed as wardens men of understanding
sympathy, honesty, sobriety and steady
temper, but the jails are mostly held by
sheriffs as places of emolument, by means
OF which they are enabled to repay them
selves for the services rendered to their
party in the past.
In the prison and penitentiary the cells
are kept clean, the prisoners are compelled
to bathe before they occupy them, certain
ratfons are assured to them, and these ra-
tions while coarse are nutritive and suf-
tcient. In a Jail, on the contrary, there
are generally no arrangements for bathing;
the cells and corridors are not kept clean
unless an occasional whitewashing is
amends for the use of soap and mops and
brooms and disinfectants. vermin lodge in
the stone walls and the wood; there is lit
tie or no discipline; and there is complaint
OF i'll feeding. A sheriff usually receives
a certain sum for the board of each pris-
oiltF. II ne is an honest man or man of
heart, he expends the whole of this sum in
the way intended. If he is the usual poll
tician he saves money at the expense of the
stomachs of his prisoners.
Now, even allowing that the criminal Is
not to be treated with consideration, and
that the place of his confinement is not to
be made pleasant for him, the injustice Of
running jail for personal profit is OBJ
Vious when it is remembered that the in
stitution is not merely for punishment of
minor ofenses, but as a place of deten-
tion for untried prisoners, many of whom
prove to be innocent, and for other people
who are wanted as witnesses. Law Is re-
sponsible for some injustices and oppres-
sions, but for none worse than the locking
up of men neither charged, convicted nor
suspected of offense. but unfortunate
enough to have seen the commission of a
crime In a noted murder case in New
York the unhappy witnesses were kept be-
hind the bars for years. while the assassin

Untried prisoners and witnesses deserve
the best, but they have the worst. That is,
they usually do, for there are degrees of
badness in jails, as in everything else. In
the rural districts the jail is often no more
than caboose of logs with single window
and no furniture, and the person arrested is
locked in while the sheriff or constable goes
