DEPUTY lANDRUM ILL.
Reports From Hot Springs Are That
His Condition Is Serious.

Word was received by friends here
yesterday from w L. Landrum, who
is in Hot Springs for his health,
that his condition Is quite serious
and that his life is despaired OF. Mr,
Landrum, who Is deputy sheriff, has
been ailing for some two or three
months and has not been able 10 do
much active work. About three
weeks ago he decided TO go TO Hot
Springs, 1t is hoped that the re-
port OF the condition OF the popular
officer has been exaggerated.

BUSINESS IN
 POOR HORSES
1afnaIs Suffering With Spavin are Bought h New York for Use
 in Bridgeport.

A badly spavined horse was taken by stAte Humane Agent Gardner of fNs~ Haven in wA4er street, Saturday. ETha Awen4 had Veterinary Surgeon w. tJ. Bouthey look the arinaA over and agreed thax 1t was eunering badly. The animal was owned by q painter living in o4Esh street.
 '~Tha city is fuN of spevined and sick hoHoe8 that should be killed,'' said . horse owner this morning. He con tinued- 'It is not that the people who own and drive the animals want to be crusa. but because they do not know when An animal Is suffering. These hosses gre driven by men who cannot afford good horse and who are satis-, lied as ion9 as the animal can crawl
 'Tbe humane agents should clean ease among sound horses, to say noth- ing of the cruelty in driving them. They are horses which are sent into Connecticut from New York city by thefr owners who have given the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals their word that they have had the animals killed or will stop driving them in Greater New York. As a rule a horse is worth more alive than dead and they are shipped into Connecticut and other states. There is not much of this spaVined stock sold by the dealers here but the buyers go into the other cities in the state and buy the aniHals. It looks as though Bridge port Ee<s moro than it's share of New lYoTks pfuEB."

Why the Menu Was Changed.

The culinary department of an East Indian household, if the story of an American traveller who has recently re- turned from Calcutta is to be believed, is managed far differently from an American kitchen. 'sHere we employ an Ethiopian expert at so much a week." says the Philadelphia Record. There a cook would disdain to place weekly valuation on his services. His conditions involve a fiat rate of so many shillings weekly for the furnish ing and preparation of provisions. This system of putting the culinary depart ment out to contract causes a penurf- ousness on the part of the chef which frequently is not for the best health and welfare of the household. Short ly before last Christmas the above named American tourist had ordered his cook to have steak for dinner. Broiled chicken was served instead. Pressed for his reasons for disregard ing the command of the head of the household, the cook explained that the chicken had taken sick and if it had not been killed and served that day he was afraid he would have lost it."

A Powerful Drur.

Cloves are simply the dried flower buds of a beautiful evergreen tree growing naturally on the Spice islands. These flower buds are gathered when they have become of a bright red and are just on the point of opening. The name comes from the resemblance of the prepared spice to small nails, from the.French word clou, for nail. Cloves are very heavily charged with a pun gent, acrid, volatile oil, as much as 20 per cent sometimes being extracted. This oil is valuable for havoring and scenting purposes and has a limited field in medicine, but the habit of feat ing cloves" in which young folks and too often old ones indulge, is very rep rehensible, as the oil Is a powerful drug. becoming in many cases an in- sidious poison.

fact in regard to the matrimonial af- fairs of that body of citizens. 1t is re vealed therein that while many women deprived of the power of speech have been sought in marriage by men whose five senses were unimpaired only few women whose tengnes were in good working order have consented to tie themselves to men who could not hear what was being said. Cyhics find in these revelations matter for many caus- tic d1atribes pertaining to the conver- sational and nstening powers of the sexes. Whether or not these sarcastic observations contain an explanation of the comparative willingness and un- willingness of men and women to mar " mutes is a question, but the fact re- mains.

Conscientious Bill,

''Bnl had charge of the animal tent" " said the old circus man, land among his pets was a leopard, the only one we had with the show, and quite enough too. This leopard gave Bill more trou- ble than all the rest of the menagerie put together. It was certainly an ugly brute.
 "Well, one day when we were show ing in the Midlands had come up to London to arrange about some advance business. I was eating my dinner in the hotel when a telegram was handed to me. It was from Bill and read: The leopard has escaped. Prowling about town. What shall dop
 'NThat was just like Bill. He had to have explicit directions, even in an emergency like this. He didn't want to make a mistake.
 "I immediately Wired back to Bill, Shoot him on the spot I didn't think any more about it until a couple of hours later, when I received another telegram from conscientious, careful Bill, asking, Which spot?'"

Relative Hardness of Precious Stones.
 The relative hardness of various stones is easily determined by testing the power of one stone to make scratches on another. If diamond is rubbed with one of the points of a topaz, the topaz point is blunted and the mark which will be seen on the face of the diamond is only the dust of the topaz, which can be brushed off with the finger. But if the topaz is rubbed against the diamond the lat ter is unaltered and the surface of the former is marked with a scratch which can be removed only by fur ther polishing down. It is on the basis of this process of comparison that a scale of comparative hardness has been formed represented by ten sub stances, of which diamond is the high est and graphite the lowest in the scale. It is a curious fact that these two extremes of the scale. the brilliant and hard diamond and soft black graphite, are both chemically the same substance-pure carbon.-Jewelers' Cir cular.

ChfIalcs. Men and Women.


 There are parts of the world where girl babies are drowned like superf1u- ous kittens and others in which it is not uncommon for the daughters in the large families of the poor to be sold by their parents into lives of prostitution. On the other hand, the pages of history are flied with examples of the devoted lives Of childless men and women who have worked unsel6shly for the good of their kind Bachelors and virgins have been the saints of the world, and the chiIdless are the philanthropists, the founders of colleges, hospitals, art collections and libraries, the philoso- phers, the great writer's, leaders and thinkers of the race. Plato, Joan of Arc, ssvonarola, George Washington, David Hume, Locke, Spinoza, Thomas Carlyle, Florence Nightingale, Ruskin and Herbert Spencer are only a few of the great names in this ciess. An in- teresting volume could be written on the indehtedness of the world to child less men and women-New York Med ical Journa1.

A Bungler.

Very few persons acquit themselves nobly in their maiden speech. At a wedding feast recently the bridegroom was called upon, as usual, to respond to the given toast, in spite of the fact that he had previously pleaded to be excused. Blushing to the roots of his hair, he rose to his feet. He intended to imply that he was unprepared for speech making, but, unfortunately, placed his hand upon the brsde's shoul- der and looked down at her as he stammered out his opening (and con- cluding) words:
 This-er-thing has been thrust up- on me."-LondeD Tk8its.

1t is like a contest between

PrOgressives, these undrilled cit
liens, are not. If Cannon is a
Republican, Lincoln, and Sum-
ner and George William Curtis,
and Carl Schurz, and the men VIII
followed Sherman and Grant, and
the commanders they followed,
and the founders of the Republi-
can party, were not Republicans.
Cannon may speak truth when
he denies that he has made a cor
corrupt deal with Tammany,
whereby he will aid the Tiger in
New York while it continues to
aid him in Congress in his con-
test with the Progressives, or
insurgents"
He may.
They may have come to mis- aid
in that grim crisis of last Cong
resS,. not because of anything he
promised them but because Of the
deep sympathy that exists be-
tween such men. For if Cannon
is a Republican, Tammany is a
Republican, and so is Cox of Gin
cinnati, Sullivan, bath hous
john" and "Hincky Dink' of
Chicago, and the powers that
prey everywhere. They may not
pass under the same names, but
Cannon himself is authority for
the statement that party titles ar
deceitful now.
But about one thing, Cannon is
evidently mistaken. He cannot
