Gambling In Options legitimate.


Judge Pollock held, in Steele coun-
ty case Of the John Miller Grain com
pany against John A. Klovstad, that
gambling in options is no defense.
The Miller company purchased grain
from Klovstad, and under his orders
purchased options for certain amounts.
Wheat went down, and Klovstad re-
fused to pay for the options, and when
sued alleged it was q gambling debt.
Judge Pollock held that the amount
sued for by the Miller company was a
just debt, and as Klovstad had trans
acted business with the board Of trade
he must be governed by its usages.

DOmenichino's Last Communion OF
st. Jerome, which hangs in the Pima

only to the TRANSPORTATION in the

supported by a young man, and is so
ear death that it is only with great
difficulty that he can take the bread
from the pope, who, himself an old man.
is bending far toward him. On the left
of the pope kneels a young deacon and
behind the latter a man holding in his
right hand the chalice. Other figures
are near the saint and above in the air
four little angels are flying. In the
lower left hand corner the lion is seen,
his head upon his paws, apparently as
full of grief as the human beings about
him.
Less popular, but Of far greater beau
ty than the st. Jerome, according to the
best critics, is the Madonna of San Mic
colo de Frari by Titan. The lack Of
appreciation of this glorious picture
was early shown by a most astonishing
act Of vandalism committed against ii.
Originally it was an arched panel. This
arched part has been entirely cut away.
and as it is seen in the Pinacoteca to-day
the dove which was shedding its rays
upon the head of Mary is gone.

In describing experiments made for

effects Of lime and magnesia upon ami
NAL production, D. W. May, of the
Kentucky experiment station, remarks
that it is a we'll known fact that the
greatest development in live stock has
been attained in limestone regions. He
adds that in the bluegrass region of
Kentucky, long noted for the beauty
and quality Of its live stock, and es-
pecially Of its thoroughbred horses, the
soil has been formed largely by the dis
indignation Of a limestone very rich in
phosphates. But even in that favored
region experiments are under way to
determine whether the quality Of the
animals may not be improved by the
addition of certain mineral elements TO

books and $4,000 manuscripts are to be

fully termed the most priceless Of all

narrow columns to the page, except in
the poetical books of the Old Tesla
ment. which, as in the Codex Sinaiti-
cus-an ancient manuscript Of the
Scriptures in possession of the Russian
eovernment-are written in verses,
clause By clause, according to the
sense, in two columns. 1t is written
on fne thin vellum and contains the
Greater mart Of the Old Testament, and
the New as far as Heb. 8. a. AS far as
car be Iearngd, this manuscript has be-
Ionaed to this vatican library since the
fifteenth century. Its earlier history is
unknown. but It undoubtedly dates
back to the fourth century. The late

opening several new rooms and ar

The arrows are crystal needles of

one or two needles, and sometimes
groups Of four to ten, were discharged
st once, the bomb recoiling as the pro-

that the intense burning and pricking
experienced in chewing such plants as
those described are due to the release
