Considerable Kentucky Judge.

Representative Kehoc of Kentucky
tells of a considerate judge in his state
who passed sentence on a man convicted
of murder. The judge said:
Mr.. Dodson, the jury says you are
guilty of murder and the law says you
are to be hanged. 1t is my wish that
you and all your friends on the river to
know that it is not | who condemns Won !:
it is the jury and the law, Mr.. Dodson.
At what time, sir, would you like to be
hangedI'
The prisoner made answer that it was
a matter of Indifference to him. and that
he was prepared to be swung off at any
time. The judge continued:
Mr.. Dods0n, it is Il serious matter to
be hanged. 1t can't happen to a man
but once in life, unless the rope should
leak before the neck is broke, and you
had better take all the time you can.
But since it makes no difference to you,
You may hang four weeks from today at
II noon. but you may have a good din
ner first. "-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

How to Cook Rice.

Physicians and others who have eaten
rice cooked by Hindoo Chinaman, o.
a southern darby, must have remarked
the difference between the results OBJ
tanned by these artists and those of the
benighted cooks of the north. We learn
from an authoritative source that the
secret lies in the following recipe:
The rice should be carefully washed
and placed in kettle of boiling water,
which should be set on the back of the
range over low fire. where the rice
should simmer slowly until done. Stir
ring is nor only useless, but harmful
Ii there is any water left, ii should be
rained off carefully and the rice should
then stand in hot place for some time
Nothing should be added during the
cooking, no SALT sugar, milk. or butter.
Ii the cooking has been done properly.
each grain of rice will stand out hv il
self. plump. dry, and beautiful Served
very hot at the table the rice should
then be Teyercntly treated with cayennc
pepper and butter, after which viii be

Coon Beats Mountain Lion.

James 4. McCallum has a mountain
lion that he is now willing to part with
to any one as a gracious gift. When he
received the fine looking cougar a few
days ago from Il friend in the Rocky
mountains he thought that he had an
animal that could whip anything that
wore hair, but when the king of the
mountain beasts was fought to a stand
still yesterday by an ordinary old ring
tailed coon McCallum lost heart The
lion was seen a few days ago in his
cage by Jack Cook The lion tipped
the beam at 10 pounds. but Cook said
his old coon could lick him.
The other morning Cooks coon was
thrown into the cage with the lion The
light began at once. The lion made vi
cious strokes with his paws at the coon,
but the willy little animal proved to be an
adept at lodging all the blows. No
quicker would the blow of the lion prove
futile than the coon would grab him by
the throat and begin TO claw with all
his might. He would soon loosen his
hold and jump away. This was repeated
for about twenty-five minutes. when the
lion, bleeding profuSely, skulked to a
corner and refused to battle further.
The coon was taken out Of the cage
with hardly scratch on him and APP
parently proud of his work with his
heavy antagonist. The little ring-tailed
animal weighed about twenty pounds
but Jack Cook says he is worth his
weight in gold.-Louisville Courier-Jour

EXPLOSIONS IN COAL MINES.
Freedom. from Dust the Only Safe Method
of Prevention.

At a recent meeting of mining en-
gineers held in Leeds W. III. Pickering,
British mining inspector, read paper
on The Dust Danger" The importance
of dust as factor in coliery explosions
was, he said now generally recognized
and understood. Provisions had been in
irodnccd IN the coal mine regulation act
regulating the use of explosives in d.
and dusty places, and the Explosive, in
Coal Mines order had been issued by
the home secretary. In Il few mines dust
was systematically laid by w3frfiE;s but
no widespread effort had been r3ade to
strike at the root of the danger. Per-
mltted explosives were only relatively
safe, for each one of them was capable
of initiating an explosion under certain
conditions, and it could not be too often
repeated and emphasized that dust ex-
ploslon could be started in other ways
than by an explosive. Ignition of fire
damp might result from a naked light
IL from damaged or defective safety
amp, or from spark from pick or an
electric spark, ard this might be magni-
bed by dust into Il great explosion DuSt
also increased the danger of underground
fires. Obviously the only radical way of
remedying the danger was to keep the
mines free from coal dust by cutting off
the supply or by other means As long
as dusty roads were allowed in mines the
coal industry was under the dark shadow
OF a coming great disaster. The looming
danger was recognized by all. and he
submitted that this period of peace and
immunity was the time to take practical
steps to avoid the danger. He believed
discussion would show that it was rea-
sonably practicable to keep most mines
comparatively free from dust that was
dangerous. and that this freedom would
conduce to safety and to health and com
fort as weil.-London Times
