KILLED HIS BROTHER.

Bonneville, Nov. 14.-While en-
deavoring to enter his fathers
home in this city about 2 O'Clock
this morning, after an absence of
several weeks in the west, Walter
Quinn, son of ID. n. Quinn, was
shot and killed by his brother,
Tom Quinn, who mistook him for
a burglar. The shot took effect
in the mans breast, from the eff
feet of which he died at 6 O'Clock
this morning.
1t appears that Walter had ar
rived in town on late train and
going to his fathers home, rap
ped on his brothers window for
admission. Awakening suddenly,
the brother thinking of burglars,
seized his shotgun and fired
through the window with the
aforementioned result.

ped off at Little Rock and stayed
till next morning. Here | met
the managers, Bros. W. NJ. Bar
ker and Ben. NJ. Bogard, and sew
,eral brethren on their way to the
General Association. We ex-
pected to get to Hot Sprins on
time, but the train was several
hours late, so we did not get or
gained until afternoon. We were
permantly organized by re.elec-
ting Bros. w. L. Box of Morril-
ton as moderator, Ben. NJ. Be-
gard of Little Rock assistant mod
orator, j. NJ. L. Thomson of
Monticello, clerk, and NJ. w. lard
of England, treasurer.
Bro. j. A. Smith, pastor at
-Springdale, preached fine SER
mon Friday night on Witnessing
for Christ.
After the sermon the report on
education was read by Bro. Bo-
gard, aud he made telling
speech. The Buckner Baptist
College was offered to the General
Association clear OF debt, worth
ten thousand dollars. This Is the
oldest Baptist college in the state
and it was accepted unanimously.
There IS a bright future for this
school.
Saturday came and with it a
rainy day, yet we had good at
tendance. The temperance report
read by j. A. Smith was fine. A
number of brethren spoke on the
report. Among them being Bro.
j. III. Melbourne in which he said
that we can be against whiskey
and be Democrats or Republicans
by supporting anti whiskey men.
Bro. j. NJ. Rains of Jonesboro
offered the following resolution
which was unanimously adopted:
Resolved. That it is the sense
of this body that all the Baptists
IN Arkansas, in fact all good peo-
pie in the state, should use their
influence in every way possible to
promote the passing of Il bill now
before Congress, introduced by
Hon. Il. b. Macan of Phillips
county, which bill has for its OBJ
ject the prohibition of the Federal
Government granting license to
sell liquor in prohibition territory
by the state. :"
From this the readers of The
journal can see that / am standing
with my brethren in opposing
whiskey.
The Orphans Home report elici-
ted some discussion, but the home
was recommended and collec-
ton taken for same. The report
on literature recommended among
other things, the reviving of the
old Arkansas Baptist, or starting
a paper in the state.
Saturday night Bro. Puthoff,
editor of the Baptist Echo, at
Jacksonville, Texas, preached
splendid sermon and about hun
dred dollars was raised in cash and

PEA HARVESTERs.

a day. This attachment for harvest
ing peas is made in Canada and those
now in use in the west have all been
imported. On rear cut mowers a plat
form is sometimes used, as shown in
Fig. 2.
With this attachment one man walks
behind and with a fork throws the
peas off in punches. But the platform
is of doubtful advantage unless the
crop is evenly ripened, not too heavy
and free from standing weeds OF
strong growth. Where the land has
been plOwed in ridges, with furrowS
more or less deep between them, The
working of the machine will be seri
Ousiy interfered with.

some wonderful Figures.

Figures on the light and heat Of the
sun are the most startling that can
possibly be presented. The astrono-
mers measure the amount OF heat and
light emitted by the sun by estimat-
ing that the earth intercepts about the
two billion three hundred millionth
part Of it. Thus 1t is found that in
every second of time the sun emits as
much heat as would result from the
sudden combustion Of 100000, ,000,-
600 tons of pure coal. 1t may be inter
esting to the reader to know that each
portion of the suns surface as large
as this earth emlts as much heat per
second as would result from the com.
bustion of 1,OOO,000,000 tons of the best
anthracite fuel.

trast with the magnitude of the pea is
it's insignificance in our own country.
Great advances, however, have been
made during recent years in growing
peas in Michigan, Wisconsin and Mon
tana and other mountain states.
Canadian feeders use peas largely
for cattle, also as food for dairy cows,
for swine and as a ration for ewes and
lambs. The straw when we'll cured is
relished by horses, cattle and sheep,
though they may not take kindly to
it at first.
Pea straw harvested rather under
ripe than Overripe and properly cured
will be eaten readily, but when al
lowed to get dead ripe live stock will
eat little of it.
Until recent years the pea crop was
harvested with the scythe or with the
old fashioned revolving hayrake. The
| first method is slow; the second shells
out many of the peas and so covers
the vines with soil as to render the
straw practically unfit for use. By the
aid of a pea harvester the crop may
be harvested speedily and in excellent
condition ON level soils. 1t is simply
an attachment to an ordinary fiel(
mower, as shown in Fig. of the sec

A Whal--s Jawbones.

The jawbones of a whale are some
times twenty feet in length, and the
mouth, when wide open, is II by IS
feet. The throat, however, is so small
as scarcely to admit hens egg. The
whale gets his living by stralning the
animalculae and small fish out of the
water he takes into his capaciOus
mouth. 1t must be SLOW work, but
then he has plenty of time ard nothing
else to do, so he attends to his eating
so regularly that he often accumulatss
