any other Jail he had seen. He said that
the reason the jailer did not go inside the
jail was because he might be attacked
and the keys taken away and the whole
jail liberated. Duncan was searched and
stripped and an entire new set of clothes
given him. He was never allowed to see
any one except in the presence of a
deputy.
At this point court adjourned until

Chief Deputy Sheriff stradford resumed
the stand. He said that the night of the

the day. The business of the jail was
chiefly transacted In the 'sheriff's office

men to watch the condemned. Frank
Duncan's case had not been passed on
by the Supreme Court at the time of his
escape The extra men who watched
Miller were paid by the sheriff and no bill
was ever presented to the county for
their expense.
w. H. Wilson, a member of the Board
of Revenue, and who was member at
the time Duncan escaped, was asked II
at the time Duncan escaped the county
was paying for Jail guards. Objection
was m ade to this question. The objection
was sustained and Mr.. Wilson excused
as a witness. Judge Greene said the
question was whether there were sufn-
Client guards and not who paid for them
The state then announced closed.
Sheriff Powers of Mobile county was
the first witness for the defense. He
testified that he had visited the Jefferson
County Jail and others. He was asked as
to the condition of the Jefferson County
Jail in relation to other 3ails In the state
as to safety Objection was made to this
question and sustained.
Defendant counsel commended that ex-

SEA FLOWERS AS PETS.
The Queer Little Creatures Known
as AnemOnes.

The Queer Little Creatures Known
as AnemOnes.
The queerest pets in the world are
kept i'll a beautiful row of clear, fash
ing, rDund glass tanks on an upper
floor of a large aquarium. AS you ap-
proach the tanks you behold glowing
little groups of color and artistic blend
ing and Eingling of fantastic weeds
and shining stones. Then when you
peer into the tanks you see what at
first seem to you just like particularly
handsome and gorgeous flowers grow
ing all over the little rockeries. Some
of the flowers look like dainty pink
and white and yellow and purple and
crimson dahlias. Others look almost
like daisies, with lacelike petals.
Others look like little star flowers, all
pure white and perfect. These flowers
are of all sizes, from tiny ones barely
large enough to see to great ones al
most large enough to fill a saucer.
But if you will watch these 'fiow-
ers" for a few minutes you will jump
suddenly, for all at once you will see
one move its petals. Then you will
see another and another do it. Slowly
the petals unfold or contract, with
little jerking movements, sometimes
twining in the water like snakes.
Tap smartly ON the table ON which
the tanks stand. and like lightning all
the petals will have disappeared.
These sea flowers are really not flow
ers at all. They are living creatures,
known as sea anemones.
For many years scientist has
tended and fed them, and the little
animated flowers actually have come
to know him. When he feeds them, he
puts little bit of fish on the end of
long pointed stick and puts it care
fully down into the water until it is
near the anemone. 1t did not take long
for the beautiful things to understand
it, and, whereas at first they used to
withdraw their petals and shut up
tightly when the stick approached,
now they twine gracefully and stretch
their dainty arms out as far as they
can go in order to reach it.-London

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

In setting out an orchard keep to-
gether all trees of the same variety.
Good garden soil is good for pot
plants, but can be improved by the ad-
dition of leaf mold
Weak rosebushes may often be made
to grow by giving them an occasional
watering with liquid manure.
One advantage with small fruits is
that they can be made to furnish a
supply long before trees come into bear
ing.
In planting border don't plant every
thing in rows. A row of hollyhocks,
for instance, isn't half as attractive as
irregularly placed groups that break
the outline.
With pot plants in general way too
little water is better than too much.
The dropping leaves indicating drought
are more easily remedied than yellow
leaves, the result of being kept too
wet
In preparing pots for plants the
pieces of broken pots or crockery in the
bottom should never be omitted, as
without proper drainage the soil be-
comes sour, the plants languish and
the leaves become vellowiSh

Duck and Goose Culture.

1t requires twenty-eight days to
hatch both goose and duck eggs. Ducks
should be kept shut up over night in
laying season, as they lay very early in
the morning. Keep them in the pen
until they have deposited their eggs
If permitted to have their liberty, they
sometimes drop their eggs in the grass
or in the water, which then cannot be
found. On the other hand, geese will
seek nesting place in buildings or
around stacks of straw. The early
broods of ducklings and goslings
should be hatched under hens. After
they are hatched keep them In a small
yard in which you have placed coop
for shelter. They do much better if
this is done for about two weeks than
If allowed their liberty. See to it that
they have plenty of water while eat
ing. Feed them often, four or five
times a day, when young. Keep young
geese and ducks from pudding or
swimming in cold water. They should
not be allowed on ponds until the down
has changed, and even then it is not
necessary they should have a pond.
When hatched, feed nothing for twen-
ty hours. Their first food should con-
sist Of breaderumbs soaked in milk.
Hard boiled eggs mixed with cooked
cornmeal is excellent for a few days,
after which feed anything they will
eat. 1t is conceded by those who have
had the experience that ducks and
geese are more easily raised than any
kind of poultry and are quite as profit
able. 1t is indeed surprising that SO
many poultry raisers are without these
profitable birds as an addition to their
business. r. Brabrazon in Farm

SOOTHING SHOPPING.

The exhausted shopper sank upon

of her reversed Boston bag poured a
cascade of little parcels, freshly strug-

Primary Elections.
There is an evolution in progress in
this country as to the manner of nomi-
mating candidates for offices great and
small. People are beginning to realize
the important fact that political reform
must originate in nominations, for so
strong are habit, prejudice and Wis
inertia that practically everybody votes
for the nominees of his own party, no
matter what may be their qualifications
or lack of qualifications, character or
lack of character Observation teaches
that to part with ones party is pain
full operation. OF course there are eX-
ceptions to this rule as to all others.
The fear of being pointed to as rene
gade or turncoat has held many man
to his political allegiance long after he
had ceased to believe in the political
tenets of his party. But all over the
land there are signs that more care is
to be taken to nominate good men and
to ascertain the will of the people in
making nominations. Evidently the old
delegate convention system is in proc
ess of ultimate extinction, and it is
WELL 1t was better than no organiZa
tion at all, little better, but it is easy
to manipulate and to corrupt and in its
results freOuently failed TO represent
the will of the people. The primary
election is the coming system. 1t is be-
ing adopted in some shape or fashion
nearly everywhere, and it is well. The
primary gives every citizen actually
what he has had all along theoretically,
voice in the state, and gives every
voter at the minimum expenditure OF
time and money a chance to register his
thoice of public servants.

Where Women Learn to Raise Fruit,
Flowers and Vegetables.
The Rock Island Railroad company
has a woman landscape gardener, Mrs.
Annette McCrea. 1t is the duty of Mrs.
McCrea to visit station after station of
the road and plan the decoration of the
grounds around each, likewise superin-
tending the planting of flowers, trees
and grass and seeing that all are kept
In perfect order. This appointment is
an eminently fitting one. Ii is onIy tne
beginning of what is to follow. Wo-
men will more and more become gar
deners of all kinds. Fruit flower and
vegetable raising is well suited to
woman's delicate perception and gift of
patience in small things. In England
a society of ladies some years ago es-
tablished a school of horticulture for
women, and it throve from the begin
