the case of Infants. Now and again,
however, instances occur which prove
that this barbarous right is still claim
ed and exercised.
A man in the Nam Hoi district has
just put his son to death in a most
cruel fashion, and the law takes no
cognizance of the murder, for surely 1t
cannot be called by any other name.
The boy had been often reproved for
associating with gamblers and robbers,
and his record was a bad one. This
much may be said in extenuation Of
the fathers diabolical act For a long
time the father was unable to lay hands
on his son. This he succeeded in doing
by offering a reward to any one who
could bring him home. During the day
Of his return the father gave no evil
dence Of his wicked designs. This put
the lad off his guard. But when night
came the father threw Off his mask,
seized his son, bound him hand and
foot and lhen proceeded leisurely to
strangle him.-China Mail.

The father of Thomas Jefferson died
In 1757, and the sons situation was
touchingly described by him years aft
erward In a letter written to his eldest
grandson when he was sent from home
to school for the first time 1t is given
in "The True Thomas Jefferson" by
William e. Curtis. The letter was as
follows:
when l recollect that ut fourteen
years of age the whole care and direc-
tion of myself was thrown on myself
entirely. without a relative or friend
qualified to advise or guide me, and
recollect the various sorts Of bad COM
pany with which l associated from
time to time. l am astonished that 1
did not turn off with some Of them and
become as worthless to society as they
were.
Il had the good fortune to become
acquainted very early with some char
acters of very high standing and to
feel the incessant wish that could be-
come as they were"
His father left instructions for his
education and especially enjoined up
on the widow not to permit him to
neglect 1.-THE exercise requisite for his
bodye's development" This strong
man knew the value of strength and
used to say that a person of weak body
could not have an Independent mind.

hausted and, worse than all else, lost.
So when at last little speck of light
suddenly shot out of the darkness he
hailed it as harbinger Of shelter and
rest and hurried forward with renewed
hope.
He had taken less than a dozen
steps, however, when he found himself
face to face with tall, determined
looking man and gun.
The two men scrutinized each other
narrowly, while half dozen ruffians
gathered round. The man with the
gun finally broke the silence by saying:
It's a bad business, your coming
here, young fellow; but since you have
come We'll have to attend to you. |

With that he made a motion to the
other men, and they speedily bound
Jack hand and foot.
What does this mean? Warner de-
handed.
"Oh, nothing much" the man with
the gun replied. About all 1t means
Is that you will have to take bath in
the Big spring, and anything that goes
In there never comes out"
Warner comprehended the mans
meaning now and, aghast with horror
cried:
Great God! Do you mean to drown
me?"
we mean to put you where you
won't never tell no tales" was the cool
reply.

Parsley Honey.

1t is very seldom that we come across
honey that is not fit for human con.
sumption. but it is just possible that
you may have that experience Bees
gather honey for themselves, not for
us. and they naturally study them
selves only. 1t generally happens, for
tunately for us. that what suits them
Is also good for man. but there are ex-
ceptions.
The honey that bees gather from
parsley is likely to make man feel very
Ill indeed. Probably that honey does
not disagree with the collector. or it
may occasionally be gathered and plac-
ed with the rest by mistake There is
Just the chance that it is done for pur-
poses OF revenge by one member of the
community who considers himself az
grieved and vents his spite on his fell
lows.
Hemlock honey may be innocuous to
the bee, but 1t Is likely to poison man
and give him a decidedly bad time IL
not kill him.
The plant known as green fly will
yield honey with taste that win make

treasures Of the beehive.

In the Ozark mountains there is a
spring that could tell some startling
tales and explain away the mystery
surrounding the disappearance of more
than one human being.
Jack Warner thought that he had
made an important discovery, and the
next minute he found that he had made
two of them.
In the first place, he had discovered
a "moonshine" distillery, which was
Important, but not interesting to him.
In the next place, he was a prisoner

themselves, which was both Important
and interesting.

FOR AN ERA OF HARMONY
An Order Granting Partial Pardons
tn All Undergoing Imprison-
meat In Cuba.

Havana. April i2.-An order grant
ing partial pardon to all those who
are undergoing life or shorter SEN
fences has been published. The par
dons vary from one-quarter TO one
half Of the penalties imposed. All
persons who are awaiting final de
cisions by the court of appeals must
withdraw their appeals in order TO
benefit by this order.
This order also clears up all doub,
regarding pardon for offenses COM
mitted in connection with the war.
An order was issued March 81. 1899.
by Gen. John r. Brooke. then military
governor of Cuba. promising pardon
for crimes committed by troops in
the fields during the war. An ex-
PLANTATION OF this order contained in
a circular issued by the Cuban sec
retary of justice April %. 1899, caused
some doubt as to just what military
offenses were pardonable.
The present order of pardon SAYS
that this step is taken in order that
an era of harmony may be introduced
into the new Cuban republic.

residence. Llangibly castle. Usk. Mon3

graph announcing that the Boer lead

Mr.. Harris replied that the rumor|
was entirely without foundation.
\ similar report Of the alleged
agreement was carried by the Central

morning papers. which issued extra
editions. 1t appears to have originate

cent to Llangibly castle.
The dispatch appearing in the
Financier and Bullionist is not con-
iirmed from any other quarter. The
editor of the paper says several
words of the code message received
were vague but he believes his gen-I
eral Interpretation Of the Dispatch
to be correct.
From government sources il is
learned that the peace negotiations
are not expected to come to con-
clusion so quickly as the premature
reports indicated. The belief that
there will he considerable parleying
also exists in circles intimate with
the Boer leaders on the continent, !,
who maintain that no peace can be
arrived at unless the British grant.
some concession form of amnesty to
the Cape rebels. Whether this con-|
tention will prove well founded or
otherwise is only matter of con1
lecture. but it appears certain thatl

pcdicuts of negotiation are exhaust-
ed, in an endeavor To gain this point 1

with South Africa believe than teI

conclusion is reached. In the mean1
while. the presence of such reprej

hopeful feeling. This was reflected
on the stock exchange. in the adj

Up TO 1850 n. m. the government
