$4,000, They had also a country

ARTIFICIAL HEART BEATS.
Hamburg Doctor Demonstrates Pos.
sibility Of Taking Organ from
Body with Safety.

That the heart of cold.b1ooded
animal, after the death of the ar
imal, may be contracted by cleo
tricity or other irritant, il a fsct
which is well known TO the ccdi
nary person. But that it ~ posi-
bic to take the human heart out
of the body and keep il in activity
for hours is a fact which has lust
been demonstrated by DR.. Denctc,
of Hamburg. The case is fully re
ported in the Hamburger Mach
richten.
The experiment was performed
by Drs. Deneke and Adam Oh
woman who had been executed by
the guillotine in Hamburg, the
criminal being 4S years of age and
in good health. The head fell into
closed sack, into which also
passed the greater portion of the
blood from the carotid arteries,
and from this sack there was OBJ.
tanned about u liters Of blood,
which was at once deprived of its
fiber. AT S:12 a. IN. the body was
taken into a cell of the prison,
stripped, and the thorax opened;
there were still evident weak con.
fractions of the single portions of
the heart, the movements of the
auricles being tolerably regular,
while the contraction of the left
ventricle was hardly distinguish
able. The heart was taken from
the body at sis, and the coronary
artery was then washed thorough.
ly with physiological solution of
salt water at 80 degrees c., until
the fluid coming from the heart
was. colorless. The heart was now
completely at rest-alI movement
had ceased. Then the organ was
washed with a Lochesche solu-
ton, which produced well coor
dinated contraction of the whole
heart; at S;32 in place of the
Lockesche solution there was
passed into the heart the blood
freed from its fiber, filtered and
warmed. Immediately there took
place on unusually powerful and
regular contraction of all portions
of the heart.
After the regular beating Of the
heart had continued for some
time a little air balloon was
passed into the pulmonary veins
in the left auricle, and then
through tie mitral valves into the
left yentricle. Two hours after
the execution the heart com
menced to palpitate, apparently
in consequence of the rise in TEN
perature and the pressure used tC
force the blood through The organ
The supply of fluid was then shul
of, but after half hour again
passed into the heart, at which
time the organ again took up its
regular movement. The contrac
tons, however, gradually be
came less, and at LOB a. m. the
movement ceased. But it had beer
possible to keep an isolated heart
in movement for a period of three
hours after taking it from thu
body.

IN MY LADY'S GARDEN.
Hardy Perennials Highly Recon-
mended-Some of the Dear Old
Fashioned Ones.

Hardy perennials are, with the eX-
ception of the spring Towering bulbs,
the most satisfactory for home
grounds. They will continue to bios
som for many years with little care
on the part of the owner. when once
established in a we'll prepared and
permanent border.
While, as a rule, people buy their
hardy perennials from the nursery
man. many of these plants may be
grown from seed with little trouble.
There is a deal of satisfaction III
knowing how the plant appears as It
grows from seed to fruit, process OF
two seasons. If the seed is soWn In
good garden soil, late in the spring
or early in the summer will do.
Particularly easy to grow are the
various forms of the composite plants,
like the sunf1owers, rudbecklas and
coreopsis. The perennial popple3
and the hollyhocks may be planted in
temporary bed to be transplantea
TO a permanent one or they may be
planted where they are to remain
Seeds of larkspur are slow in start
ing. and therefore should be planteu
early or else kept watered if planted
later.
One of the most popular of the
hardy perennials and one OF extraordl
nary foliage beauty and attractiveness
of blossom is the columbine. AL
though one can get plants from the
nursery already started, the most de
| sirable plan on the whole Is TO SOW
the seed in the garden and wait To-
the second season for the flowers
This makes it possible to secure grea
variety and many plants for SINAI
outlay. The seeds may be obtained

LARGE EXPORT PRODUCTS.
Surplus of Denmark's Agricultural
Output Denotes Great Pros
perity.

Mr.. T. J. O'Brien, American minister
at Copenhagen, reports that the news
paper Dannebrog, semiofficial, publish
es an article giving briefly the agricul-
tural export trade of Denmark for
1905, as compared with that for 1904,
as follows:
"The total value of exported agricul-
tural products for 1905 amounted to
s1OO, 100000 The export of butter was
less by 100000 pounds in 1905 than
in 1904, but the entire value Of the
milk and cream exported practically
neutralized the loss in butter. The
export of eggs was about the same as
in 1905, viz: 21,000,000 score (eggs are
sold here by the score rather than by
the dozen). The export of pork
amounted to 16O 900 pounds in 1905,
as compared with 1S5,C00,000 in the
preceding year, the falling off being
partially due to an outbreak of swine
fever; but Notwithstanding this de-
crease the amount exported was great
er than that in 1903. Between 5000
and 1000 more horses, about $4,000
more cattle, and 100000 pounds more
of meat were exported in 1905 than in
1904. The export of horses in 1905
amounted to $4,000, of cattle $4,000
and of meat about 31,0O0,000 pounds
While nearly all the eggs, butter and
pork went to England, nearly all the
horses, cattle and meat went to Ger
many.
.It may be added that the Danish
ministry considers the country to bt
in a very healthy and satisfactory con
dition, both from financial and com
mercial standpoint. The free market
of England for so large proportion
of the countrys surplus is, of course
a great advantage, and as the value
are high, the result to the people is
comparatively large sum of money TO
home distribution and use."

PRUNES IN A GOOSE.
How to Cook This Bird So It Will Be
Voted the Most Delicious
Ever Eaten.

To stuff a goose with prunes will
seem rather startling innovation to
conservative housekeepers, yet the
combination is distinctly pleasing and
has much more to recommend it than
it's novelty 1t is no more difficult to
prepare than the usual bread and onion
stuffing, and requires only those ingre-
dients which are at hand in almost
every home storeroom.
Before the goose is drawn, it should
be very thoroughly scrubbed on the
outside, using a brush and soap suds.
Rinse it we'll and wipe dry. SINCE it
before washing. Then draw it, wash
the inside, and wipe dry. For the
stuffing cook one-quarter pound or
choice prunes (Which have soaked over
night in boiling water to cover until
partially cooked. Cook one cup Of we'll
washed rice in four cups of rapidly
boiling water for Is minutes. Drain,
and add to the rice the strained prune
juice, to which has been added suffi-
cient water to make three cups. Add
salt to taste, and cook the rice in this
liquor until almost done.
The prunes should be stoned and cut
into rather small pieces; mix them
with one-quarter pound of shelled and
blanched almonds which have been
chopped moderately small, and one
half cupful of melted butter. Season
rather highly with salt, paprika and
nutmeg. Mix thoroughly with the rice
and fill the goose with the mixture;
truss it neatly, and place on the rack
in the dripping-pan.
The oven should be very hot at first
to brown the goose richly, then reduce
the heat, and baste frequently. Dredge
the bird lightly with flour after each
basting the last half hour it is cooking
1t should be cooked until the joints
will separate easily. If it browns toe

CONVlCTS OF PALAMIDI.
An Old Fortress in Greece Thae Is
Now Used Solely as a
Prison.

The old town Of Nauplia, once the
capital of Greece, is perhaps one OF
the most picturesque and attractive
cities in Greece, says the LondCn
Globe.
The roadstead is one Of the best IN
Greece, being surrounded by deep Wa
ter and having a good anchorage IN
all parts. The extreme point OF the
PENINSULA Harbor Rock, called ltsh-
Kaleh. is surrounded on the west and
south by the sea. This was the an
cient Acropolis, of Nauplia, and the
original polygonal blocks OF which the
ancient walls were made have been
made use of in the construction OF
the modern Notifications.
The most prominent feature is tn
fortress of Palamidi. This is now
solely used as convict prison. 1t
stands on the summit OF a high rocky
eminence no fewer than Is feet above
the level Of the harbor. Access to TINS
is obtained by a staircase Of S57 steps
cut in the rock by the Fenetia1s.
The prison is isolated on the top oi
this bare rock, exposed to the blazing
heat of the sun, whose beams descend
with fierce fury upon the cells and
buildings, where no particle of shad5
is obtainable, crowded with the worst
and most dangerous malefactocs
gathered from all parts OF the king
dom, all Of whom have been convic5es
of serious offenses. When allowed Gu

WINTER OPENS THE TRAILS
Season When Gold and Fur Hunters
in Alaska Can Transport
Supplies.

In a ereater part of this country the
closing in of winter means the limit
ing of travelling facilities, and often
renders journeys by means OF the
cruder forms Of transportation lmpos-
sible Roads are blocked with deep
snow, melting weather creates Nigh
ways of bottomless mud and many OF
the streams have too much ice to be
crossed by boats and not enough to
bear up animals and vehicles. In
Alaska, however, the freeze up Is
the magic key which opens VIDE the
trails to every valley and distant
mountain fastness. 1t is natures un-
limited franchise to the "sourdough
prospector, who, with strong back
and a weak mind, responds Wit tire
| less effort to the goadlngs OF the gold
! fever within his veins. 1t eXtendS
equal privileges to the fur hunter as
he follows his long line of traps, and
to the toiling freighter and the schem-
ing tradesman, each of whom must
have his surer and not always smaller
share of the earth's rich treasure.
Broad streams and rushing torrents,
says Capt George S. Gibbs, OF the
United States signal corps, in the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine, are
bridged with ice strong enough to bear
up a railroad train, and the mushy
tundra, with it's rough surface entire
ly made up of alternate water holes
and nigger head hummocks, is leveled
off with layer after layer Of wind
driven snow. Every stream becomes
highway No part of the broad ex
panse is no longer impossible, and the
distribution can now begin from the
stocks of supplies cached at conVen
lent points by water transportation tt
the widely scattered places where
these supplies are to be used.
The introduction OF the domestic
reindeer into Alaska has given tha
country a new and useful animal
which is already becoming a source o
comfort and employment for the ma
tive Indians, whose condition is Il
every way deplorable. These animal
will not, however, become an impor
tant adjunct to the transportation ia
cilities of the country. They haV
been tried for various kinds of worl

:N SCOTLAND NECK, N. c. THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1906,
INDIANS ARE VICTIMlZED.
Tribe That Is Kept Poor by Threats
of Being Dispossessed of
Homes.

Within the last few days there have
been meetings of the Snake band of
Indians in the western part of the
Creek nation for the purpose OF dis
cussing plans for waging their cam
paign in Washington, in the faith that
they will in some way be able to stop
allotment of their lands and get from
the government the right to return
and continue in their old manners and
customs of life, says the New York
Herald.
The shamelessness with which these
people are alleged 10 have been duped
and made to contribute to certain al
legged attorneys in Washington, is be-
ginning to be a scandal that promises
to attract congressional attention. 1t
seems incredible that such thing
could be possible, but there are law
yers in Washington, who have
"bilked" these ignorant Indians every
year for the last ten years and kept
them in penury practically all the
| time.
This is done, it is said, by sys-
tenn of levying assessments upon them
and holding over their heads the
threat that the powers that be at
Washington will Immediately despoil
them of their present homes if they
do not put up money to prevent it.
The recent meeting was to discuss
this matter. The Washington law
yers'' have demanded more money.
They have hoodwinked the Snake del
| i,,+n hnl inNTir1 20
that they have now legislation pend
ing in congress which will restore to
them all their old tribal rights and
forever stop the encroachments of the
white man if they get the legislation
through.
The one thing necessary to remove
all obstacles, so the Indian is always
told, is more money. Then the dele
gates at Washington Immediately senC
back home and tell their brothers
that they must have more money, ant
have it Immediately, or their cause
is lost. This usually brings the money
The amount is small sometimes ant
at other times it is large.
The Indians are full-bloods and few
of them can understand English
This explains why they are so east
ly duped when they go to Washing
ton If the grafters can deceive tn
interpreter, the rest of the indians ar
none the wiser. They have implici
confidence in these fellows at Wash
ington and believe that they are no
, only sincere but that they can accom-
;, plish what they claim.
Only a few days since some CORE
spondence between these delegates i
Washington and their attorneys" an
g the Snake people in the Creek natio
fell into the hands of the commi'
sioner of Indian affairs, and he in
mediately took it up and is now tr!
ing to gather data on the incident.
f. 1t is alleged that these Washingto
agents have gone so far as to kee
tab on the amount of cotton that thes
Indians raise and that they fore
them to sell a certain part of it an
give them the money. This they q
