Increase In Post ONCE Appropriations.

A Washington dispatch says that
the post Office appropriation bill has
been practically completed by the
House committee on post offices and
post roads, and will be reported in a
few days. 1t carries $137, ,916,598,
an increase of $14,133,910 over the
current appropriation, and of.$3, 1885,
O22 over the estimates. The largest
item is 41,25O,00O for railway trans
portation of mails. The rural free
delivery service gets an appropria-
tion of $7,529,OOO, an increase of
Sf,250,G00, and provision is made to
place the rural carriers under con-
tract system, instead of salaries as at
present. An extra allowance for
fast railway mail service between
New York and Washington is
omitted, but that for the service be-
tween Washington and New Orleans
and from Kansas City to Newton,
Kansas, is included.

The Legislative ChapIains.

Gen. r. r. Hemphill, in the Able
vile Medium, says:
Rev. r. N. Pratt is chaplain of
the House, succeeding Mr.. Hutson,
a Methodist minister who was as
signed to some other field at the last
conference. Mr.. Pratt makes a good
chaplain. The other day a Charles
ton Seoeder spoke of being impressed
with his prayers, and Mr.. Pratt ex-
planned by saying he was raised near
Due West and graduated at Erskine.
This satisfied the Seceder.
Rev. S. III. Zimmerman is still
chaplain of the Senate. He wears
the usual clerical coat and a stove
pipe hat of the latest cut. He is
highly esteemed by the body. He
often simply repeats the Lords
prayer when he opens the proceed
ings. | have heard many kinds of
prayers in the Legislature, but none
that were more appropriate than the
Lords prayer.
The chaplains are paid $50 each
for the session. When I first came
to the Legislature there was no pay
for prayers. The preachers of the
city divided the work among them
selves and received no pay.
When DR.. Zimmerman presided
over the Senate we had chaplain
who was quite rhetorical in his pray
ers and quoted the poetry of Byron,
Moore, Shakespeare and Pope from
ga way back" This went on for
some time until DR.. Zimmerman lost
patience and gave the poetical par
son bit of his mind. He said to
the preacher, "You have been pray
ing here for some time and have
never once asked for the forgiveness
of our sins. We are sinful and needy
creatures and you must pray for for
giveness of sins" No further admo-
milton was necessary.

Delicate Way OF Putting IL.

But few Kentuckians ever reached
or deserved greater prominence for
solid ability than the two brothers,
John B. and Philip B. Thompson, Sr.
They lived in Harrodsburg for many
years, the former having been Lieu
tenant Governor and United States
Senator, the latter commonwealth
attorney, and both lawyers of emf
nence. While they were devoted
to each other. they took liberties
with themselves which would not
have been allowed by either to a
stranger.
On one occasion the Senator, who
had been employed in law case,
could not find the papers, and the
only thing he could learn was that
his brother had taken them out of
the office. One morning he arose in
open court and requested his brother
to return the papers. The brother,
with an assumed air of injured inno-
cence, denied having the papers.
"Brotber John, you surely do not
mean to accuse me of stealing the
papers," he said.
ooh, no." responded the Senator,
"under no circumstances would
aceu Sc you, Phil, of stealing; but
will say that | believe that you, like
old Bluford Wickersham, would
bust your galluses reaching for things
that did not belong to you" ."-Gover-
nor Bradley's Stories of Kentucky

Artichokes for Hogs.

With corn at dollar bushel and
liable to go higher, farmers ere cast
ing about for something as a substi-
tute as a food for hogs. Mr.. Henry
ID. Boozer, of Kadesh, this county,
believes hat he has found substi-
tnte in he Jerusalem artichoke.
Last spring he planted a patch of
half an acre. Eight hogs have been
running on this for two or three
months, with no other food, and
keeping fat, and the patch is not
near exhausted. In his garden he
planted two or three rows in not
very rich earth. From each stalk he
gets about half peck of the arti-
chokes. He thinks good land and
cultivation will get peck from the
stalk.
The artichokes are best if planted
in March, but can be planted any
time in the spring or fall.-New-
berry Observer.

Facts About Presidents.

Two Presidents of the United
States were elected by the Wing
party during the 25 years of its exist
ence as an organization. These were
William Henry Harrison and Zachary
Taylor. Both died in office. The
Republican party, which succeeded
the Whig party, has elected in Al
years six Presidents-Lincc'n, Grant,
Hayes, Garfield, Harrison and Nc
Kinley. Three of these--Lincoln,
Garfield and McKinley--were assas-
sinated. This is startling aud a
tragic record.
The Democratic party has been in
existence ITO years. During half
that period it has been in power in
the nation. 1t has elected nine
Presidents of the United States
Messrs. Jefferson, Madison, Monroe,
jackson, VanBuren, Polk, Pierce,
Buchanan and Cleveland. Five of
these, namely, Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe, Jackson and Cleveland--
served two terms each. OF the
entire nine Democratic Presidents
elected in i10 years not one died in
Office. 1t is worthy of note also that
the only ex-President living is q
Democrat Republic.

confidently believe that he will come
forward and etand his trial.

Two.Ceats Pork.

Although there are great many
people in this country who are un-
willing to credit the assertion that
pork can be raised at two cents a
pound, Mr.. @. 81. Smith, who lives
five miles southwest of Yorkville,
asserts that there is no question of
the fact, because he has recently
made successful demonstration.
"I have slaughtered seven hogs
during the past few MONTHS" said
Mr.. Smith, on Wednesday, "that
netted an aggregate of 1,640 pounds,
and all the actual expense that I
have been out for them has been
just $24. This is the cost of all the
salable food 1 have given them-2O
bushels of wheat and 400 pounds of
wheat bran. Ii you will make the
calculation, you will find that the
total expense has been a little less
than Il cents a pound for the meat,
and according to the ruling market
prices cents pound-its aggre-
gate is $13l.2O, leaving a net profit
of $1O7.2O."
Asked for the history of his ex-
perience, Mr.. Smith said that the
pigs came in September, 1900. They
ran with the sows until they were
weaned, after which they made their
living in the corn field and pea stub
BILE and woods until the next spring,
when they were put in a pasture and
kept there until few weeks ago,
when they were put up and fed on a
slop made of wheat ground in a corn
mill and wheat bran. All of the
pigs were in fairly good condition
when penned, and three of them
were kept but a short time until
they were killed. They netted an
average of 200 pounds each. The
other four were kept longer with a
view to making them produce more
lard, and when killed they averaged
260 pounds each.
According to Mr.. Smiths idea,
pigs that come in May should be
allowed to run in the crops until the
next fall, being kept off the cabbage,
potatoes, pinders and such like, and
If there is pasture that will furnish
an abundance Of acorns, the vigs will
be able to make their living through
the winter without much assistance
in the way of commercial food. He
says that he once tried the plan of
making meat out of eight and ten
months pigs; but one experience
has been enough. 1t is cheaper to
let pig make its own way mostly
until it is about year old, and then
with the use of wheat slop, fat can
be put on at but little cost.--York-
vile Enquirer.

IN PRISON FOR LIFE.
That Is the Death Penalty In. Belgium Worse
Than Death.

A Belgian when convicted of a
capital crime is not shocked to death
in the electric chair nor hanged on
the gallows. Indeed, the death PEN
atty is not exacted at all in Belgium,
the criminal being sent to prison for
life instead,
This punishment is, however, the
refinement Of barbarism. Few ori1nii-
nails can endure it longer than three
years. Of this actual torture of the
wretch's condition the following de-
tails give but the most meagre idea.
The condemned man is placed not
in cell but in dungeon. This is
not only dark and dirty and bare of
every vestige of comfort, but it is
80 separate, from the other parts Of
the prison that no sounds penetrate
its formidable isolation. From the
moment the malefaotor enters it he
never hears the sound of human
voice, never sees the sight of a
human face again.
His food is pushed through slid
ing panel in the door of his cell. At
tentions of other sorts he has none.
The authorities have striven to
extend the limit of life by varying
the prisoners food as much as posi-
BILE, but in vain. Those who are
moderately or lightly nourished
gradually waste away.

Here are the names of only 81
women, chosen almost at random,
whose precious stones and jewelry are
valued at $22,25O,OOO. 1t can easily
be shown that the figures are not
unreasonable. The average annual
importation of precious stones into
the United States has for a long
time been about $15,OOO,OOO. Thus,
during only the past ten years we
have received $150,0OO,OOO in gems.
Mr.. Leopold Stern, the diamond
importer, informed me that of this
amount one-half is held by dealers
throughout the country, and that of
the remainder fully two-thirds have
been sold to families and individuals
in New York. This means that in
the past ten years New Workers
have bought S5O,OOO,OO0 worth of
precious stones, this sum not includ-
ing the cost of their setting. Mr..
George F. Kuntz, the gem expert of
theoTiffany Company, says that in
the entire country the diamonds
alone are valued at $500, 900, 900, and
that of this amount $170,00O,OOO
worth are owned in New York.
