Denatured Alcohol.

The manufacture of denatured alec.
hol is %engrossing the attention of
farmers everywhere in the United
States. However, the development OF
the industry since the favorable leg.
islation by congress last year has been
hindered by the apparent inability of
farmers to Immediately put the bust,
ness on an economical and practical
basis, says New England Homestead
1t will naturally take some little time
to work out this problem. A brief ref
erence to conditions in France, where
the industry is a practical success, will
prove instructive.
1t is claimed on the continent that
alcohol can be made more profitably
from sugar beets than from potatoes.
At least this has proved so in France.
Farmers there, however. say that the
distillation of beets ceases TO be prof
liable when the price Of alcohol falls
below 25 cents per gallon. In Ger
many great quantities Of potatoes are
distilled. largely by the small farmer.
yet in many instances these are ia.
vored by a premium or bounty Of spe'
cial character which helps make pro
duction profitable. In France the farm
er. aims to do his distilling after crops
are harvested, when he has some slack
time on his hands.

HONESTY AS A POLICY.
Reflections Of . Jailer Whose Wife
Took a Prisoners Cake.


Rather an original story comes from
the criminal prison at Warsaw. A
bookkccpcr named Schneider was
awaiting his trial. being charged with
fraud. AS his health was bad. his
family sent him many little delicacies
unknown in the prison fare. delicacies
which. no doubt. the head warder
shared with him.
One day, among other things. a huge
iced cake appeared. The warder's
children were fond Of cake. and so was
his wife. They therefore determined
to keep half Of 1t for themselves. Their
surprise was great when upon apply
ing a knife to the dainty it stuck just
below the icing and refused to 60 any
farther.
at must be baked to a cinder," said
Mrs. Warder. But her good man. sus-
pecting that something worse than
careless baking was responsible for
the cakes hardness, cut round the
sides and was rewarded by finding Il
revolver and seven cartridges buried
in the paste.
When brought up before the authori-
ties Schneider confessed that he had
intended to shoot his guardians and
escape from prison before his trial.

CRUELTY IN PERSIA.
Queer Things About the People of That
Queer Country.

SNSS' SNi'
According t. the authors of Queer
Things About Persia" cruelty is COM
non there. The cxccutioner cuts
threats in a public square. and the
spectacle excites little interest. Grim
mails are sometimes crlcificd and
sometimes walled up alive. Women.
for certain offenses are cast hcadlong
from Il tower. The Persian is a gen.
tlenan Of surprising courtesy and
politencss, but say these writers: The
same man who drops rose petals under
your feet in order to make them avoid
the hardness Of the road will not hest
tate to make you suffer the most cruel
torturcs. He delights in the murmur
Of the rivulet in the moonshine. but
the sound Of blood flowing from an
open wound has also for him it's fas-
cination. The singing Of the nightin-
gale fills him with rapture in the
night, but he quivers with pleasure at
the cry Of pain from Il victim" Also
they affirm that lying is an institution
and no one condemns it. 1.-The Persian
does not consider a lie a sin. He
thinks that we have q bad opinion OF
lying because we do not know how to
lie. and if he shows an unbounded
confidence in everything the Europeans
say it is chiefly because he thinks we
are totally devoid of the gift"

HELEN MER WILL TESTIFY
Howard Gould Gains Point In Wife's
Divorce Suit.


New York, Nov. 20.-The motion of
counsel for Katherine Clemmons
Gould to vacate an order obtained by
her husband, Howard Gould, for the
examination of Helen Mer before the
trial of Mrs. Gould's suit for a separa-
ton from her husband was denied by
Justice O'Gorman in the supreme
court. Miss Mer, q resident of Lon
don, is at present in this city, but in
tends to return to England before the
Gould suit comes to trial.
The nature of the testimony which
Miss Mer was expected to give was
disclosed in an afidavit filed by Mr..
Gould in connection with the order
for Miss Mer's examination. In this
affidavit MI. Gould said that before
his marriage to Miss Clemmons she
told him that she was a person of good
moral character and that her rela-
tions with William F. Cody (Buffalo
BID had been Of only q business ma
ture. He is now convinced on infor-
nation and belief, he declares, that
Miss Clemmons' relations with Cody
were meretricfous and it is further
alleged that Miss Clemmons made a
confession to Miss Mer bearing on this
point.

Movable Henhouse.

them as often as need be a few feet
on to clean ground. says q writer III
Rural New Yorker. The grass and
