Tragedy In Prison Cell.

Some time ago a whole family was
murdered at Potchep, in southwest
Russia. Two men named Cluster and
Shnakhin were charged with the crime.
and although protesting their inno-
cence to the last the former was
hanged and the latter sentenced to a
long term Of hard labor. It was sub
sequently ascertained that there had
been miscarriage Of justice, and the
real murderers were arrested and tried
by cOurt-marttal at Chernigoff and
sentenced to death and were confined
In CheTnigoff pending execution of
their sentences. Two of them were
found dead the other day in their cell.
They had been strangled by their COM
panion with piece of twisted linen.
The three had drawn lots as to which
of them should kill the two others. and
then commit suicide. The man who
lost fulfilled the first part of the bar
gain, but at the last moment shrank
from doing away with himself.

A PROTEST AGAINST J0LTS"
Sources of Discomfort That Destroy
Our Comfort and Help Shorten
Our Lives.

Zone need not fear that his liver
will really be jerked out of place
when trolley car comes to a STOP"
says the New York Medical Journal,
but the sense of such an impending
catastrophe is certainly something
more than a jarring of the pleasant
tenor of ones daily life. It is a source
of discomfort that is needlessIy varied
in a thousand ways, and frequently
recurring discomfort amounts to such
wear and tear as must enfeeble the
vital forces and tend in the long run
to the shortening of life, for 1t is the
continual dropping that wears away a
stone. The jolts that madden a per
son also serve to undermine his power
of resistance to the malign agencies
that more obviously threaten his life.
That freedom from agitation which
promotes contentment is well known
TO be highly conducive to longevity.
Statisticians have demonstrated this
over and over again, and society ought
to exert its full power in the effort to
do away with all avoidable sounces of
discOmfOrt-the heat of the subway
trains, the screeching of locomotives,
the clang of bells, the horrid stridor
of motor car horns, and all things else
that go to make life miserable. To be
long lived, we need to be happy, and
comfort is indispensable to happi-
ness"

CH0ATE'S TRIBUTE TO WOMAN
Why He Believes The Bible Story of
Eve Being Made From Adams
Best Rib.

There is no part of the sacred wri-
tings that has so impressed me as the
history OF the first creation of woman.
| believe that no invasion Of science
has shaken the truth of that remark
able record-how Adam slept and his
best rib was taken from his side and
transformed into the first woman.
Thus, sir, she became the "side-bone"

whole organismi Uaughter) Why,
sir, there is nothing within the pages
of sacred writ that is dearer to me
than that story. believe in it as
firmly as | do in that Of Daniel in the
den OF lions. or Jonah in the whales
belly, or any other of those remark
able tales. Uaughter.) There is
something in our very organism. sir.
that confirms its truth; for If any one
OF you will lay his hand upon his
heart, where the space between the
ribs is widest, you feel there a vac
uum, which nature abhors, and which
nothing can ever replace until the dear
creature that was taken from that
spot is restored to It. (Cheers and
laughter.) Follow my example, sir,
and place your hand Just there and
see II you do net feel a sense Of gone
ness" which nothing that you have
ever yet experienced has been able to
satisfy-From a speech by Joe Choate.

First Telescope Preserved.

Very few people are aware that the
first practical telescope-the one
which Calico used in discovering the
satellites of Jupiter in January, 1910.
is still in existence and preserved at
the Museum of Physics and Natural
History in Florence. 1t is about three
hundred years ago since this fnstru-
ment was first turned toward the
heavens. Unlike the present astro-
nomical type, it had a concave In
stead of a convex eyepiece. Just like
the opera glasses now in use. When
Calico first exhibited his new tele-
scope to the doge and an enthusiastic
assembly he was overwhelmed with
honors, because 1t was thought that
the instrument would give the soldiers
and sailors of the republic a great ad-
vantage over their enemies. Strand

MANS RESPECT FOR ANIMALS
We Must Recognize That We Are
overseers Of other Forms Of
Life on Earth.

If we have any belief st all In q diff
ference Of moral faculty between our
selves and the animals we must recog-
nize that we are, so far as our powers
over nature will permit, overseers of
other forms of life upon the earth, not
merely for our own advantage but for
the good Of the universe. We cannot
deny that the struggle for life exists
and that We must take part in it and
do our best to destroy those forms
OF life which are hostile to ourselves.
We cannot go so far in respect for
life as to found society for the pre-
vention of cruelty to bacilli. But at
the same time our respect for life is
a Sign Of our triumph, however imper-
feet, over the struggle for life; and
the greater this respect becomes the
more we are men conscious of the
promise and significance of all life
and the less we are beasts involved in
the blind waste of nature.
Very slowly and imperfectIy this
sense Of the promise and significance
Of all life grows In us. It Is not only
an intellectual, but rather a religious
and emotional idea It appears first
IN men like st. Francis with a pro-
Fhotic sense Of a nobler state of be-
ing. From them it is communicated
by the beauty Of their example rather
than by argument. to other men; and
perhaps when 1t has become a matter
of course in all civilized human be-
ings we shall find that it is of prac-
tical value and it will attain to a
scientific Justification.

Worlds Oldest Tree.

The recent rose show given IN Paris
by the French horticultural society
recalled the fact that the oldest rose
tree in the world is believed to be one
which grows on a wall Of the cathe-
dral at Hildesheim, Germany. Elev-
enth-century records make mention
of expenses incurred by caretakers of
the cathedral in maintaining this tree,
which covers the wall to a height of
twenty-five feet and is twenty inches
thick at the root.

letting the Cat Out of the Raa.

The saying "let the cat out Of the
bag" probably had its origin in the
trick of substituting cat for a young
pig In the days when it was customary
for the country folks in England to
take pigs to market in bags. These
bags, in old phraseclogy, were called
"pokes." If anyone was foolish
enough to buy an animal without look
ing at it, he was said to have bought
"a pig in a poke" but if he opened
the bag the cat would Jump out and
the trick was exposed.

Thickest Skin of Any Animal.

The skin of hippopotamus is about
the thickest covering worn by any
animal on earth. That of the whale
is only slightly thicker, but then the
whale lives in the sea and not upon
the earth. By reason Of this thick hide
the hippopOtamus can laugh at or
dinary bullets, which merely tickle
him unless they strike him IN
the eye, the nOstrils or the ears.
Therefore, when shooting hippopo-
tami, the sportsman uses ex-
plosive bullets with sharp steel points.

England Bros. to Move

England Bros. of Marshall whose
father is the patentee. of an agri-
cultural harrow, have arranged to
remove their factory from Mar
shall to Boonville and expect to
have the factory in operation here
by the 18th of May. These har-
rows, called by the patentea the
"world heater" is said to be a
most excellent farming implement.
Roeder & Weyland have the
agency for it in the Boonville ter
ritory and so far have done well
with it. The firm OF England Bros.
is composed of seven members,
six sons and one son-in-law of the
patentee of the harrow.
Through the efforts of the COM
mercial club of this city the Bell
packing house near the Katy de-
pot was secured as a location for
the factory A. A. Wallace bought
the property and leased it to the
commercial club for a term of
three years for the purposes nam
ed.
For awhile at least the factory
will be but a small industry for
Boonville, possibly employing no
more than twenty or thirty mel,
the first year, but it will be ex-
tended as demanded by conitions.
The manufacturers of the harrow
are young men and are rustlers
They will push their business, and
as they have a very m%eritorious
article success is sure to attend
their efforts. Quite a number OF
the harrows have been sold to
farmers of this vicinity as a result
of a demonstration made here q
short time ago. 1t is said that
more than half a thousand Of them
have been placed with the farm
ers of Saline county and that all
of them are more than satisfac-
tory to the purchasers.-Boonville
