Last Battle in Great Britain.

This was the battle of Culloden Moor,

ward Stuart c'Bonnie Prince Charlie,
a grandson of James ii. He defeated
the English in the battle of Falkirk,

finally defeated by the Duke of Cum
berland. He wandered as a fugitive in
the highlands for five months, finally
succeeded in getting out of the coun-
try, and died In Rome Jan. 80, 1898.

FOR HIS HONOR


of many footsteps. The men of Nc
Vaigh township were not out for vain
parade. They meant business.
| a terrific battering came at the doors,
the one level with the yard attacked
! first. The jailer looked out from a
small window in the old roof. 1t had
been used for such purposes.
1--WE want Martini" cried a voice,
land we know Terrence isn't here.
| Open the door or throw out the keys"
Il can't do It," shouted the jailer.
"We'll fight it out! He's my blood
kin"
With great shout the assault on the
door began. The prisoners above the
dungeon were wild with terror. What
would not a mob do?
Mem he cried, help me to barri-
cade this door! The sheriff will come.
We must gain time"
1t took a good many minutes to pass
the barricade and to chop in the heavy
door farther on. 1t took more to wrench
and chop and pull out the cell door. A
dark figure was crouched in the corner,
silent as death.
Mighty still, are you" shrieked the
leader, johnson Martins own cousin,
and the heir to the farm If he was
hung. Come out here, you murderer"
A dozen hands laid hold on the
crouching figure. 1t was dragged, haul
ed, carried, forced up the stairs, out
into the yard.
String him up Here's rope!

Then a woman's shriek-awful,
blood-curdling-rang out once, again.
again. The crowd fell back. Good
God! What did this mean?"
They stood the figure up and raised
lanterns high over it a second. 1t was
a woman-a terror-stricken woman
with her brown haid unloosened, fall
ing over a mans suit of clothes.
A mighty shout, and in among them
dashed horsemen, the burly sheriff at
the head. He threw himself from his
horse, he snatched the woman to his
arms.
Are We men? This woman has saved
my honor" he cried. "Off hands.
Thank God, Martin is safe. He Is no
murderer. The negro tracked to Bear
Swamp to-day is the man. He had the
old mans watch and money. For
shame, go home!"
The crowd skunk away into the shad-
ows. The sheriff carried a limp form
into the house, and while he lavished
every fond epithet upon her, the erst-
while prisoner, in her attire, knelt and
kissed the feet of the poor little gov
ernesS.
There Is a better Jail now, but the
people of the county have not yet ask

Russia One HnDe Farm.

IN sentence Russia is huge farm,
comprising a seventh of the land sur
face of the globe and twenty-siXth of
its total area. 1t has half a dozen men
to manage it-according to the policy
of one of the siX-and the people are
divided into 100000 of men and
women of the more or less comfortable,
more or less educated class and 49,
100000 of citizens, the mass of whom
form the dullest, rudest, least ambi-
tious peasantry in Europe. If one tray
els over Russia to spy out the land, he
may go for days across it from west
to east without breaking the continu-
Gus view of fat disk, whose only va
riety lies between its farmed fairness
and it's waste fairness, its squat. shrink

districts wooded with thin birch or
evergreens. Everywhere it Is new,

1t is impossible to keep grumblers
from grumbling. Fifty years ago peo-
pie who had to travel long distances
would have considered the sleeping car
as it exists to-day a luxury too great
to be described by means of words.
Yet one paper passionately exclaims:
Nowhere but in a sleeping car would
we submit to the heavy curtains, shut
ting out fresh air and shutting In foul"
And another, with almost unprecedent-
ed sternness, adds: These cars are
almost everything that they ought not
to be, and hardly anything that they
ought to be. The man who invents a
sleeping car In which the sanitation
shall be perfect will reap fortune and
deserve a monument" We shall not
enter into discussion Of the sanitary
needs of sleeping cars, just now, but
there Is one way in which we insist
that they ought to be improved imme-
diately. Every sleeping car should
have "snorers' end" shut off by a
deadened wall from the rest of it. Who,
not being snorer himself, has ever
lain down to rest in a sleeping car
without finding to his sorrow and con-
sternation that either directly across
the aisle or above or below him was
somebody who snored? If any such
there be, let him speak up now or else
forever hereafter hold his peace. With
certain section of the car set apart for
snorers innocent souls might often be
saved, and at the same time poetic JUS
tice could be melted out to the offenders.
With, say, from four to six snorers
cooped up together, each going 1t to the
best of his ability, it is no more than
reasonable to suppose that sleep would
soon become impossible for any Of
them. Thus would the hundreds, nav
thousands, Of people who have hereto
fore been compelled to toss through
sleepleSs hours while the snorers in. adj
jacent berths slept on be avenged
Laws should be passed, too, making It
a criminal offense for any snorer to en-
ter a berth except in the snorers' sec
ton. There is only one reason that we
can thlnk or why some such plan as
this could not be adopted. 1t might be
impossible to keep the roof on that end
Oh the car wherein the snorers were
grouped. Let us hope, however, that
mechanical science may contrive to
utilize 1t to furnish that sobbing cry
OF the crossing whistle.

Have Gone Ont of STYLE

Porterhouse steaks have gone out of
fashion, according to one of the uptown
butchers who supplies meat to a lot Of
the families in the fashionable districts
on Rverdale drive and West End ave-
nue.. For years and years the porter
house steak has been considered the
best cut of beef and has fetched the
highest price. Now the demand is for
the DelmonicO steak, which is the por-
terhouse with the bit of the tenderloin
cut out of it. A dislike for the taste
less bit of tenderloin seems to have de-
veloped, unless the tenderloin is served
separately, either as a roast or fixed up
as one of the fancy steaks that the ac-
complished chef knows how to pre-
pare. There is more flavor to the SIR
loin, and so the demand is for either
the bone sirloin, as it Is called or the
Delmonico steak, which follows II in
the carving of 'critter." This fancy
has generally put out the butchers, who
have now to find new way to carve
their meats to an advantage Even
when the tenderloin is cut away from
the bone, 1t is said by the dealers to be
the hardest piece of the beef to now
dispose of to advantage.-New York

cork. and if this were attempted in
careless manner the injury to the
thumb and finger, while comparatively
slight, would surely accomplish the pur-
pose intended. There are two ways OF
making this device-one by filling an
ordinary cork with short barbed points
and the other by attaching to its
surface a strip Of wire netting, from
which the prongs project. One of the
best recommendation for the device is
that a little child will not be liable to
extract a cork if covered with these
barbs, as the injury to the tender fing-
ers would soon cause it to desist in It's
efforts. The inventor is Victor FL. 40

3 per cent interest. Three per cent
is about all the owner of large for.

A Secondary Fertilization.

The actual facts appear to be that
the silks of an ear of corn will remain
in receptive state-susceptible to
the act of pollenization-for q much
longer period than we thought posi-
BILE, there being abundant evidence
all through the corn belt where the
tassels of the corn were destroyed by
the hot winds of July, and in which
fields the fertilization was so arrested
that it was most imperfectly accom-
plished, but a few kernels being fruc-
titled, that a later developed pollen
supply brought about by rains on un-
developed stalks has completely and
perfectly fortified these imperfect
ears, the silks, twenty days after the
normal date of pollenizing, still being
receptive and ready to perform their
important mission. This will result
in the curious fact of an ear of corn
having a few ripe and hard kernels
upon it, while the rest will
be still soft. This curious. condi-
ton of the cornfelds we have never
before noted, and it is of more than
passing interest, as such fields will, if
favored with good ripening period,
produce much larger crop of corn
than seemed possible in July. Nature
is merciless in her wrecking moods,
but infinitely compensatory and re-
storative in all her healing processes.

Other Mems Wives.

There is a great deal of very foolish
stuff written and printed about this
peculiar burdens of the farmers wife
Now, for the life of us, we cannot see
why the wife of the town mechanic
and day laborer does not have just
as hard a row to hoe as the wife of
the man on the farm. Many of the
latter class are compelled to take in
washing, and do mental work for
other people in order to keep the
family, while society is less kind to
them than it is to farmers wife. Not
a few of these town women have scads
for Observation-Disclosures, drunkards and
no-counts and with no COW, no gar.
den, no poultry yard, no timber lot
they stick on the dividing line be.
tween the poorhouse and starvation
year in and year out. Let somebody
pity the mother who lives in town who
is barred socially because of poverty,
who can hardly garb her children so
that they can go to the public school
or to the church, while her husband is
roaring against the existing order Of
things on some dry goods box down
town.
