circumstantiaI Evidence,

Sir Henry Hawkins, brilliant advo-
cate and one of England's greatest
criminal judges, expressed the follow
ing opinion in his "Reminiscences"
Let me say word about circum-
stantial evidence. Some writer's have
spoken of it as Il kind of dangerous
Innovation in our criminal procedure.
1t is almost the only evidence that is
obtainable in all great crimes and it is
the best and most reliable l have wit
messed many great trials for murder,
but DO not remember one where there
was an eyewitness to the deed How
is it possible, then, to bring home the
charge TO the culprlt unless you rely on
circumstantlal evidence?
"Circumstantia evidence is the evil
dence of circumstances that
speak for themselves and that cannot
be contradicted. Circumstances have
no motive to deceive, while human tes-
timony is too often the product of ev-
ely kind of motive"

As the Guide Understood It.

a party of hunters in the wilds of
Narth Carolina, wishing to cross the
lake upon tie banks of which they
were encamHed, made the necessary
preparations, Then they asked the
guide 1T he could row.
.Ro':' Id queried in answer. "Ro'.
NO. ! reck'n not. RcclS'n never. tried
it,"
Under these circumstances the party
made arrangements to do the rowing
themselves, and were consequently as
fonlshed when the guide stepping into
the boat, seated himself at the oars
and prepared to be the motive power.
Why exclaimed one of the party,
thought YOU said you couldn't row."
The guide was plainly puzzled and
could be heard to repeat to himself sew

FIVE PERSONS suFFocArEp.
New York Lawyer and His Family
Meet Death in Fire.

New York, Jan. 16.-William T.
Mason, a lawyer, and his family, con.
slsting OF wife and two children, Ell.
len, four years old, and Marion, six
months, with a servant, Annie Wells,
lest their lives in fire which de-
stroyed the brown stone dwelling oc.
cupied by them at 1873 West One Hun
dred and Thirtieth street. Neighbors
say they heard cries of Murder" and
Burglars although the police found
nothing to indicate that the fire was
not accidental. The whole family ap.
pears to have been suffocated. The
body OF the father and youngest child
We're untouched by the flames and
those OF the others We're probably
burned after they had died.
A policeman and neighbor heard
the cries and attempted to get into
the house by breaking windows of
the parlor floor, but were driven back
by the smoke. The firemen were I'm.
able to enter until after the lower part
of the house and the halls had been
burned out. The charred bodies of
Mrs. Mason, the servant and four
year-old child We're found in a closet
under the roof scuttle, through which
they are supposed to have been at
tempting to escape. The bodies of
Mr.. Mason and the younger child were
in a bedroom.

Java's Boiling Lake of Mud.

One of the greatest natural wonders
in Java, "the fire island" large lake
OF boiling mud, is situated almost in
the center of the plains of Grobogana,
fifty ''paals" to the northeast of Solo
1t is almost two miles in circumfer-
ence, and in the center immense COL
umns of soft, hot mud may be seen
continually rising and falling like great
black tmbers thrust forth and then
suddenly withdrawn by giants hands.
Besides the phenomenon of the columns
there are two gigantic bubbles near the
western edge which ill up like huge
balloons and explode on an average
three times per minute.

Hogs on Sorghum.

Hogs may be turned on sorghum
when. quite young without any danger
to them, provided they are used to
grazing on green crops, says a. NJ.
Soule of the Tennessee station in
Breeders Gazette. We have pastured
sorghum from the time it was one foot
high until the seed heads were almost
perfectly ripe. We have not had very
satisfactory results with sorghum as
compared With SOY beans and cowpeas.
We have never been able to make more
than Il half pound of gain per day on
sorghum, even when one to two pounds
of grain We're fed to the hogs. whereas
with the same amount of grain the
hogs have made from 500 to 600
pounds of pork per acre from cow
#peas and soy beans.

BURTON TO GET NEW TRIAL.

the Eastern district OF Missouri on
the ground that the payments to Bur-

and the case remanded for new trial.

POINTS ON FEEDING

The feed for tue SOW before farrow.
ing should be nutritious, but not con.
centrated says American Agriculturist
Some corn may be fed, but meals rich
In protein, oats, peas, middllngs and
barley should supply most Of the nu.
triment. AS narrowing time ap
proaches let the feed be sloppy and OF
limited quantity. For two or three
days after narrowing time supply only
limited quantity of feed. A thin
warm slop of middlings, oatmeal and
a very little oilmeal poured into the
feeding trough little at a time will
answer all requirements.
MilIet Hay.
Millet hay must be fed more carefully
to all kinds of live stock than other
coarse folders. With sheep, scours
result unless fed In small quantities
For large animals there are liable to be
disorders of the stomach. However
1t is splendid catch crop and if jul.
diciously used is valuable
Cotton Seed as Stock Food.
We have fed cattle and other stock
every season but two since 1882 on
cotton seed, meal and hulls, with an
average of more than 300 head on feed
each winter season, and have yet to see
the first really sick COW or steer re.
sulting even apparently from the use
of cottonseed prOducts.-Cor. Farm and
Ranch.
Winter Feed For Sheep.
The winter feed l have found best is
for the ewes silage in the morning, OH
which feed them their grain, says q
writer in Rural New Yorker In my
experience have found that cornmeal
with bran and light ration of cot
tonseed meal and oilmeal Is best; at
noon a feed Of clover hay or bean fod-
der and at night silage or clover hay,
but this ration can be changed to suit
the shepherd the owner remembering
that he is feeding for milk.

Soaking Feed For Horses.

SO far as the health of the animal Is
concerned. possibly soaking and wet
ting are advantageous. In England 1t
Is considered desirable to soak chatfed
straw or hay, as the dry material some
times causes collie. 1t has also been
observed that horses relish soaked
grains. Where hay contains consid-
cradle amount of dust sprinkling with
water is advantageous. However.
where horses have good teeth and are
In a vigorous condition 1t is doubtful
whether this practice pays.-American

The Quick Growing steer.

The quick growing steer is the chief
factor in the problem of the production
of cheap meat, says Farm Visitor.
The common farmer should have
nothing to do with any other kind of
IAN animal. He cannot afford to breed
his cows to scrub bulls when he in
tends to put these calves on pasturage
and later finish them for the beef mar
kets. The quick growing steer is the
steer Of improved breed, as has been
demonstrated over and over again. In
the light Of the experience Of the past
twenty-five years 1t is surprising that
ehy man should still ignore the ques-
b Jon Of breed, which is the question of
pc quick growing steer.
