Queer Speculation.

The sermon of a British vicar charging great immortality in the pottery towns in Staffordshire has caused discussion of life in the potteries. A curious feature is speculation on the lives of others. The business of the insurance com panies there is largely directed to persuading people to insure the lives of others as speculation. Wives are urged to insure their husbands, and sons and daughters to take out a policy on their parents lives. For a penny a week girl insures her father for f5. No medical examination is re- quired, and it is simply a gamble on death. This was amusingly shown by a recent case. A doctor in one of the pottery towns was reported to be dying of cancer. The rumor was false, and the doc tor, completely recovered of his illness, was surprised to learn that his charwoman had staked twopence a week ea his death.

odd Lawsuit.

Some months ago the city fathers of Marseilles, eager to beautify their an- cient town, deliberated and concluded that a good foundation to its ''show" street would not be amiss. In conse- ouence there came men with odorous hlocks and much tar and after many waeks the work was over. And all tAe citizens found 1t very good. Only one, a confectioner, with rooms on the route, is unappreciative. He has grievance. The tar, he says, gave it's unavoidable odor not only to his rooms, but to his cakes. his ices and the other wonder ful creations of the French "patissier. /" His clients first complained and then went elsewhere and new locality had to be sought for the preparation of his dehcacies It is for this reason that he is now seeking to get damages to the extent of S60,000 from his city and the suit is arousing much interest on ac-
 count of it's uniYle nature.

NEW USE OF PHOTOGRAPH
British Cabinet Minister Dictates to the Machine and the Records"

since HIS uCCcprr0n- crvD- het rank MT. Graham Murray has made a still greater use of the photograph for the conduct of his correspondence as secretary of state for Scotland than he did during the period when he acted as lord advocate in the same de- partment, says the London Graphic. Some five or six dozen "records" are now constantly ia use, and to these the minister dic' tates the replies to his numerous letters, together with a mass of other detail work connected with the office over which he presides. These are then forwarded to Lon' don, if he happens to be in Scot land, and the contents are taken down by his secretaries in White hall. This done, the "records" are scraped off and the cylinders are once more ready for use. By keep ing a photograph both in London and Scotland the secretary of state, alone among his colleagues in MT. Balfour's reconstructed cabinet, is able to give viva-voce instructions to his department at a distance of some hundreds of miles

BIRDS OF ARGENTINA.
Many of Beautiful PIumage and Senss That Are Wonderful
 Singers.

among ArgenClnaS greateSL IreaS- llres are her birds, which abound there In great number and variety. One pe- euliarity of the birds is their gaudy plumage. brightest scarlet, orange, olive, yellow, pink and green-painted perhaps by the southern sun, says the Montreal Family Herald.
 In color they are beautiful and in songs wonderful. Let us go to the woods bordering the river and see how many we can find. Wonder bird is called the "arm of fire" on account of his bright color. He appears to take great pride in showing himself. There is the cardinal with the scarlet crest white breast and dove colored back, also the yellow cardinal with yellow body and black crest. It is so named because it's crest resembles the car- dinal's hat. That beautiful pink line that you see in the distant sky Is flock of pink flamingoes. They are nearing us. Now they alight on the sand on the margin of the river. How pretty they are! Listen to that exquis- ite song. That is the "Bugero," large black bird with white beak From tho grassy marsh comes the discordant cry 3f the heron, and the green parrots are chattering ip the trees over our heads. They think their scolding will fright on us away. See that lovely golden wren creeping up the tree, hunting spiders. He does not seem a particle SSsA roDfn. rnsy are mucs saaf Msfs nsr than the robins of our country. Here we find a doves carelessly made nest, with two white eggs lying on the ground. This dove Is very small, not much larger than sanary. That mod )st little gray bird Is the bulbul or nightingale. which keeps his sweet song for the night.
 There is tree that appears to be covered with balls of cotton, but in- ttead of cotton 1t Is flock of magpies summing themselves They drop their wings and fluff out the feathers of the back until they resemble balls of cotton. They are singular birds. One will catch frog and run around be- fore the others, apparently to tantalize them. When they bathe they jump into | pool of water, then out again and roll In the dust, then into the water again. They impose on each other by several hens laying in the same nest q The sggs are very pretty. green and white mingled.

Here comes a scissors taiY. another peculiar bird, one of the fly eatchers. An! the beautiful birds! We hear their glad songs as they fit from tree to tree seemingly without sor. TOW, but they have their sorrows, too. for they will go to seek food for their young birds and come back to find them devoured by the snakes or some other marauder. But perhaps their greatest enemy is women. for whose adornment hundreds of thousands are destroyed annually, especially Of the white heron, an elegant bird whose fe- male has two dainty hair-like feathers or aigrettes. which arc used for hay trimming.

to snow that RODeTIS Was III Searcy the night the grave was robbed. He appealed to the jury in pathetic terms to send the de- fendant back home to his aged mother and devoted sisters, say ing he had already suffered enough and had given up his political fortunes and ambitions because of this unjust charge. BRUNDIDGE's CLOSING APPEAL.
 MT. Brundidge closed the ar gument for the prosecution in a speech of two hours. He re- ferred to the responsibility rest ing upon him in behalf of the state, as White county had been outraged and her name made in- famous by this crime, which was a reproach and an outrage upon justice.
 He said that he did not need a detective to watch him in either the private or public walks of life and the defense could bring on their detectives, provided they would tell the truth. This personal reference was brought about by the defense asking Gre gory on the stand if he had not accepted money from w. A. Old field as detective to watch the speaker on >>his way to Hot Springs to ascertain if he didn't ride on pass.
 The speaker said when he died he wanted to be buried in Searcy and prayed that no one would delve into his grave. He paid high tribute to Searcy and her people, saying they were a law abiding people with the excep- tion of a few lawless characters. The necessity did not exist for Lightle to dig up body for dis secting purposes, as he could hosye sec0rea sl car Noaa of NsoalesS by simply paying the freight.
 Mir. Brundidge referred to the defendants father, who had passed to the great beyond, and said that he had always been a friend to the defendant since his fathers death, but the speaker declared he had never reached the point in life when he would not help uphold the law and as- asist in the prosecution of even an attorney when it was necessary and when the law had been vio- lated.
 MT. Brundidge also paid a high tribute of respect to Mrs. Ligh- tie, mother of Dr. Lightle.
 If the doctors theory was right" {" said the speaker, to get body to dissect and to get 1t 1rom Gregory for thirty dollars, then the defendant is not guilty. 1.-the doctor formed a conspiracy ito defraud insurance companies and got the body to palm off as his own, Roberts is guilty. Some one had sworn falsely in this matter, and the jury would be the judges.
 The speaker dwelt for some time on the doctors theory about 'brightening up on anatomy, v and said the "lamp turned over just in time for him to catch the train y
 Gregory swears it was the understanding when the conspi- racy was formed that the keys, watch and thermometer were to be left on the body. Why didn't the doctor leave his dissecting knife, too, instead of throwing It in the Ohio river?'
 The defense's alibi was then discussed from start to finish.
 ''If you want to do justice be- tween the state and the defend ant in this case how can you dis believe Gregory, when Moore, Baugh, Jones and others come

the other day. Mr.. Reilly is man
- of broad views and liberal educa-
tion, and it is not a little surprising
perhaps to find such man as he
struggling, bachelor fashion, with the
problem of clearing stump farm in
Whatcom county.
"Shingle bolts are the principal crop
raised in this portion of Whatcom coun-
ty,' says Mr.. Reilly. "The country,
agriculturally considered, is not yet self
supporting. True, it has been settled
many years, but you know so long as
men can find steady employment in the
woods and mills they invariably work
for wages, instead of devoting their
time to clearing the land. Hence you
see that most of the ranches have but
a few acres cleared, and farming here
abouts has scarcely yet been tested. I
have lived here six years. I have tried
clover raising-both Alsac and red
clover-but have not yet demonstrated
that it is success here. I have 20 to
30 apple trees, from which I picked
about 100 bushels of apples this year.

grows well in the creek bottom in the
black loam land, but twice the crop
has been destroyed by a plague. [
sent specimens to the Agricultural Col
lege at Pullman. They reported that
it resembled the black rot, but stated
that they had not supposed it occurred
so far north as this. The leaf turned
yellow and just dropped down, as de-
caying. 1t is strange phenomenon
to me. The college professors have
promised to investigate the matter
more thoroughly. l raise oat hay here
and cut it green. I have II head of
cattle and two horses. 1t cost me $3.50
per day last month to feed these stock,
so you see there is some expense con-
nected with stock keeping in this part
of the county. AS 1 nave said, it is
not self-supporting. But the soil is
good, the climate good and the mar
kets accessible, and / believe the future
will hear good reports from the ranch
ers of Whatcom county"
I talked with well-known dairyman
in the Nooksack valley and will en-
deavor to give some of the views he
expressed to me. ct consider this, -
said he, "an excellent dairy country.
Dairying in my opinion is the great
coming occupation of the ranchers of
Whatcom county. We have tried fruit.
Tt does not seem to do well. The seep-
age from the mountains seems to form
an undercurrent under the soil of these
valleys, which renders fruit undesirable.
That is my experience. But in dairy
ing we do we'll. So I say that the
future of our county, agriculturally, is
in dairying.
