JOE ANDREWS1 TRIAL.
When the judgo had given his
charge to tho jury it teemed inevita
ble that Joe Andrews should provide
entcrtuinnienl for the hangman. Ap
parently in the minds of judge, jury,
council and spectators Ihc barbarous
rope was as good as placed about his
uei:k. A life had been taken through
violence and everything in tho ivny
of incriminating evidence pointed in
dubitably to Andrews as the criminal,
lie was a young fellow with a wifo
and child and of fair enough rcputo,
save that at intervals an apjistrenlly
inherited weaklier fof strong drink
ovcreani' him. Jn the course of one
of lhee lamentable ruptures of the
young man's sclf-re.-pect and attacks
upon the pea-e and forbearance of
Twinville a stranger had appeared in
town, ana. the alaou being obviously
his common plaeo of 'MHertain'ment,
he had fallen in v ilh Andrews, evi
dently -'; much to the stranger's
I pleasure and profit.
Their convivialr elationship, inter-spci-acd
with hours of gambling, had
continue.! through several days, at
the- end of which time the stranger
had disappeared, and Andrews, his
spree being over, awoke from his
-qualid, pleasurable dream to find
himself penniless lie then ?voro it
the pr':-eneo of ihore than one wit
ness that, should he ever find oppor
tunity, lie would c Ttainly take the
life of tho man who had wronged
h;m.
I.efore a week had pas-cd the man
of friendly cups and nimble lingers
rode into Twinville again, stopped
over night at the hotel, and the next
morning took the road to Darcey, a
town ten miles to the southward. Ib

hotel "register was Thomas l.rad
laugh. Tho same day on which ho I
left J ivinvillc for I)a-eey he vas
found dead in the. i-ettu midway be
tween the Jo lowns, with numerous
savage cuts upon his person and the
fatal knife still buried in his heart.
The weapon, a short dirk, v;as the
well-known property of Joe Andrews,
and sworn wilnes-es testified that
the unfortunate young fellow had
been seen hunting in that vicinity
upon th.' day of the tragedy; even
Andrews himself confessed as much,
but night and day protested bis inno
cence. Surely Lawyer Lullin. prosecuting
attorney for the state, had never eon
ducted an easier case. Tor ten years
Lailin, ostensibly a bachelor, had
been a eitien of Twinville: in cvery-
uay lilc a quiet, cold, indifferent sort
of a man. in court a keen and eloquent
advocate. When he stood before the
jury in the present ca-c, pale and
seemingly profoundly moved by tho
gravity of the verdict he riuist urge,
he had pronounced one of the most
remarkable picas ever heard at the
Twinville bar. After a long pause
in which he seemed hesitating as to
his course, and in which the room
grew htiahcMl. his lips suddenly
opened, and he cried out like a peaf
ing trumpet "Whosoever sheds the
blood of man by man shall his
blood be shed' Gentlemen, disobey
Cod's command if you dure!" and
then sat down.
Two hours afterward the jury
brought in a verdict of murder in
the first degree.
Andrews was crushed; he seemed
to sink in upon himself like a falling
ruin. When commanded to stand
up and receive sentence, he had to be
held upon his fet: his young wife in
voluntarily rose with him. and stood
staring at the judge like one in a
fascinating, horrible dream. The
baby babbled and tugged at her
skirt., unconscious of the awful doom
to be pronounced upon hi, father, and
indirectly upon its own innocent
head. A death-like silence fell
upon the room: the world seemed
wrapped in it. all save the little
child cooing by its mother, and a big
fly buzzing and mumbling against a
window pane. The judge moved un
easily in his chair and looked at the
little family whose happiness his
next words must forever destroy.
His lips began to move with the fatal
sentence, when suddenly Lallin. the
prosecuting attorney, arose and
stepped out before Hie judge's desk.
His face was stiangely pale, but he
spoke in his dry quiet tones.
"If the court will indulge me a
moment, " he said, "I would like to
speak a few words before final
sentence is passed upon the pris
oner." The judge bowed acquiescingly
and settled back in his chair, with
a look of relief.
If your honor will bear with me,"
said Laflin.-'I will relate an incident
which canio under my personal
observation illustrative of the
fallibility of appearances, or such
evidence as has its base in circum
stances, sis in this case." The judge
looked his astonishment y.t a proceed
ing so unusual, but bowed again.
.Something more than fifteen years
ago." l.allin continued, the matter
had its beginning; its final denoue
ment is of recent date. I was in
timately acquainted with the parties
and the circumstances. There was
a young man I will call him Hrown
who had b it recently graduated from
a college and law school in the Kast,
and who came West and settled in a
town in Iowa. He had inherited a
few thousand dollars from his par
ents, with which he bought a farm
near the town, for he was a man who
liked room and out door life when
not confined to his office by business.
He brought a young wifo with him
from the Kast, a girl not yet out of
her teens, whom he had known and
passionately loved from childhood.
What this beautiful girl was to the
young husband cau never be known
otiiside of his own Heart.
"It was so with this young fellow.
A serpent crept into his life; an oily,
plausible craven, a man l will call
Smith. He was undeniably a hand
some fellow, as dashing and jovial a
murderer of virtue as ejr subsisted
on the trickery of cards and the
ignorance and innocence of his fel
b.ws lloth sexes were his prey.
The unworthiness of such a life can
not be p'etured in language, numer
als cannot indicate its effect-, no
metaphor or epithet may fitly char
acterize it.
"Suffice it to say now that Brown
awoke from his happy dream one day
to find himself despoiled, his young
wife llown with this fascinating ex
ponent of vice. It would bo difficult,
nay impossible to say by what means
the tempter won her from peace and
security to a path which must surely
end in inexpressible pain.
When tho final blow fell it all but
destroyed the young husband. For
years the horror of that first hour of
discovered perfidy hung in his mem
ory. It was like a sudden plunge
into hell. Tho man was not tho
I same aftorwai'd; in a sense the hurt
t was mortal, the wound too deep to
ever heal, ihrough tho first lew
days ho lay sick and delirious,
crushed by tho blow. Then he arose
and sot out upon the search with a
heart whoso every throb was a cry
for vengeance upon tho man who had
wrecked his life. East and west,
north and south ho searched, but all
in vairi. the erring pair seemed flown
but of the world.
"At last, bitter and weary, he set
tled down in a town which lay sov
eral hundred milos distant from the
one iti which he had formerly lived.
There he began life over again. It
was not wholly lifo, but rather yx-
istonco: a cold and ludiiTrtrentias3irig

interest left out of everything. One
vital thing remained, tho old desire
for vengeance on tho dcspoiloi', and
a longing to know if tho woman he
lovod were dead or no. A thousand,
nay, ten thousand times, he thought
of her during these years. His life
went slowly, always at its bottom
that bitter lire.
"One day, in passing from a neigh
boring town to the one in which he
lived. Brown picked up a knife from
the road. He recognized it as be
longing to a young man who lived in
the town where his home was. As
he held it in his hand and looked at
it a man on horseback rode up. It
was Smith, the despoilcr, for whom
ho had been looking for yars. A

the man he had wronged, and at
tempted to turn back, but with a cry
of rage Brown caught his horse by
the bit. and dragged its frightened
rider down into the dust. With his
knee on the craven's breast, and his
fingers round his throat, he de
manded to know whore she was the
young wifo stolen from his bosom.
I'm going to kill yon,' he said, 'kill
or. like a rat or a poison snake, but

Smith begged for his life. Is sho
alive or dead? Answer me that

gasped the man. We lived together

Brown looked in his face a moment,

rested on a tablo by his side: ha
looked the judge full in the face.
"Your honor,"' ho said dryly, "tho

A strange sound of people catching
their breath swept over tho crowd,

From Itiike to Enquire.
It sometimes happens that in writ
ing of the Knglish nobility young
authors arc not quite familiar with
their subject, and make mistakes con
cerning the different stops or degrees
in the peerage. Perhaps a simple
explanation of the matter may bo
found useful in clearing up loose con
ceptions. The highest though not
the oldest rank in Britain
below I
royalty is that of duke. The lirst
dukedom created was tfie dukedom of
Cornwall, bestowed on Edward the
Black Prince, and it now appertains, i
as a matter of right, from the moment ;
of his birth, to the eldest son of the j
reigning monarch. The formal man

as it is technically called "his grace,

only nobleman whom it is allowable, j
in conversation to address by the j
name of his rank, as, for instance, j
"as I was remarking, duke." Next !
to a duke comes a marquis, or mar- !
quess. as the word is now more '
usually spelled. The word means
lord of the marches or borders. A '
marquess is addressed as "the most ,
noble, the marquess," otc. The next ,
degree below a marquess is an earl. '
It is a distinctively Knglish term, its
equivalent abroad being count, al- !
though, curiously enough, an earl's
wife is known as a countess. An earl j
is addressed as "the right honorable, i
the earl of,"' elc. After the earl
comes the viscount The name bears
its foreign origin on its face, and was ,
formerly applied to a person who
acted as sheriff of a county in the
place of the count or carl. Like the !
carl, he is addressed as "tho right
honorable, the viscount," etc. The !
lowest rank m the British peerage
is that of baron, although, in
one sense of
peer is a baron

This arises from !
the fact that, according to the old
feudal law, every man who pos
sessed certain lands was called a
baron, and as a condition of his pos
sessing them had to bring into the
field a certain number of armed men
at the call of the sovereign. Below
the peerage are the baronets, knights
and esquires. Tho latter title is
now applied promiscuously; at law,
however, there are only certain
classes of the queen's subjects en
titled to this ancient and honorable
appellation. These are sons of peers,
and the eldest sons of the youngest
sons of peers, and their eldest sons;
tho eldest sons of knights and their
eldest sons; gentlemen specially
created esquires by tho queen;

Mrs. Davis looked doubtfully at her
husband. He had not a reputation
for great liberality, yet here he was
advocating a plan which was almost
sure to result in "a year's wasto of
goodoloth," for Abe had no younger
brother to take his outgrown clothes.

feeling that he was tho object of em

spouse. "I ullus ree'lect a boy that

which was received with an air of
conscious worth by his wife, "an' it
was a sorrerful sight to see that boy!
"He never caught up to the size of

Mr. Davis went out to the barn,
and Mrs. Davis began to cut the new
suit, pinning it on to the patient Abe
now and then to try the effect, says
Youth's Companion.
When she said at last, "I've got to
a place where you can go now," ho
hurried out to his father.
"I'm real obleeged to you, father,
for what you said," he remarked,
with evident gratitude. "My last

Then they each fell to rubbing up

IDLE RICE FIELDS.
1'lenty of Snitahlo l.aml Heady for
f'ultHatluii in south Carolina.
The principal cause of the abandon
ment of so much rice land in South
Carolina is the lack of capital, due
to heavy losses sustained by the
planters during the late war. They
were left without working capital
and the means to employ labor, and
freshets had broken the dikes and
lillca an the canals and ditches so
that it would have required a con-
siderablc outlay of money to have
put the rice plantations in their ,
former condition. There is no lack
of the best rice lands in the state, '
with good water facilities, which can
be purchased for a merely nominal I
sum. '
Another reason why so much of
the rice land has been abandoned is i
said by the Boston Herald to be tho j
scarcity and inefficiency of the negro
labor, the good labor having been
drawn away by other industries
which afford better pay. There is
every opportunity for the introduc- j
tion of improved machinery, which j
would do away with much of the
ineflicient labor in the building up
and repairing of dikes, canals, etc., ,
and machinery could also be used in ;
the preparation of the land and the
cultivation and harvesting of the
crop, it is not unusual to una pian
, ., i . r i V l i iV I
half of this amount of land available
..: r iirtMi :i. ....!.....
for ricG culture, in a narrow strip along
tho river front a half mile to a mile
in width, and it is quite possible for
any one starting in with sutlicient i
capital to secure the finest rice lands
at a very low price, and by tht in- j
traduction of improved methods, and t
especially by the introduction of im- !
proved machinery, to be largely iude- .
pendent of the scarcity and inefti- j
ciency of the labor.
The cultivation of rice is a very ,
expensive undertaking, and, as a
rule, it can be carried on much moro '
economically on a largo scale than
on a small one, and probably for the
production of no other purely agri-
cultural crop arc capital and strict
business methods so necessary for
the production of rice by the method
of water culture, of which there is
an abundant supply, which omes
down laden witii the most fertile
portions of the soils of tho up coun-1
try. It would seem that here was a
fine field for tho employment of dor i
mant Northern capital, which, if
rightly applied would bring in largo
returns. I

in tho form of vegetutiou in a green
and succulent condition. In wiute'i'
some green food may be supplied in
the form of roots or corn ensilage.
The ringing of the boar should be de
ferred sis long as lie remains tract
able. The exercise of rooting wtj,l be
good for him while ho is developing.
If he should be inclined to get too fat
the peas or corn ration may be re
duced, but this is not likely to take
place where ho is allowed plenty of
freedom.
When he is well developed the
same ration essentially in kind may
be given him, but house slops will
answer in lieu of the skim milk. A
tablespoonful of ground oil cake
given three or four times a week has
a good influence upon the digestive
organs, and now and then some char
coal or charred corn is thought to act
beneficially. In time of severo use
tho food should be made stronger,
but great care should be taken to
avoid an over-fatty condition of the
system.
When the boar is kept strong and
vigorous, and in good condition as to
thrift, but yet not overloaded with
fat, the results arc likely to prove
most satisfactory. It is equally hurt
ful to rush the growth of tho boar on
too rapidly when he is young, or to
hinder it by feoding him too lightly.
When conditions thus natural arc
observed, and when the services re
quired aro not undue, the usefulness
oi tno uoar win continue ior several
years.
Cirttins Heady for Harvest.
After a crop is grown it is quite
an item to harvest at the time and in
the manner best calculated to save iu
the best possible condition. With
some crops liko hay and small grain a
very little delay will often mako a
very serious difference in the quality
of the product, and of course in the
the value, as the quality with all
farm products is the measure of
value. Tho majority of farmers
reasonably expect to work a little
harder during harvest than at almost
any other season but even this will
not answer to always secure the best
results unless proper care is taken to
prepare ahea-1 so that the work can bo
pushed ahead and the full advantage
be secured of the extra work.
The cultivated crops should lc put
in a good condition so that they will
keep growing while the harvesting
is going on. This should be done
even if it is necessary to hire a little
extra help. (Generally help will cost
less before than during harvest, and
if the hiring of extra help in cultivat
ing will lessen the necessity of hiring
help during harvest it will be good
economy to do so.
As a large part of the work of har
vesting is done by machinery it is a
very important item to have what is
needed on hand and in good working
order in good season. If new ma
chinery has to be purchased look after
it In good time. It is poor economy
to wait until the wheat is ripe or the
hay ready to cut beforo purchasing
the binder or mower. If you have
these and other machinery on hand
then see that they aro in good work
ing order. Go over them and tighten
up all bolts or screws. If any of the
working parts have got rusted rub
or clean with coal-oil. It never pays
to start into harvesting a crop of any
kind with a machine that is liable to
break down at any time. Better ro
pair before harvest begins than stop
affycr it has fairly commenced.
After -a certain stago of ripeness
ho been reached a very little delay
..... .. .. , ,, u...
will often lower the quality verv
materially. If the binder is used for
i wheat and oats be sure of the twine
' needed in good season. Have plenty
of good oil. It is poor economy to
use anything olsc but the best, and a
good supply should be. secured in
good season. Every item that will
save timo should be looked after and
every advantage taken to secure in
the best condition. With a good
outfit of machinery a considerable
acreage of wheat and grass can be
handled in a short time and at a
reasonable expense: but if done to
tho best advantage it is very
necessary that everything be ready
in good season so that the work can
be pushed. Ordinarily there will be
enough to hinder without taking the
chances on anything that can be
avoided. Journal of Agriculture.
How to I.al.se Turkeys.
! Gather the eggs before they get
1 chilled, keep in not too cool nor too
1 warm a place in the light. Turn
them over once a day, that is to the
, other side from the side they lie on.
' Treated this way they will all bo
likely to hatch. Keep tho ugg till
, the hens all commence to set, if it is
not too long, then set your tamest
lion with ton or fifteen offers, and if
' vou want the others to lay again you I
will sot tho balance of eggs under
i chickens; but the turkey hens would .
I bo the best. Try to get them all set
the samo week if you can. j
If your chickens have gapes j-our
1 turkeys will have them worse. The I
best way and it is a sure way is to !
keen them on a board lloor well cov-
ered. Have it made so that if the j
hen does get out the young turkeys
can't, and give them all to one tur
key hen. Have four or five inches of
oid hayseed chaff all over the lloor.
If it is cool weather it must be kept
as warm as possible, and if it is warm
weather the sunlight must get in
tho greater part of the day. Keep
them in till six weeks old, then when
you put them out chooso a day that
is not oo hot or it will kill them.
Watch tlini for tho first twa or
three days.
Until they are quitd a good sizo
rhcn it comes a rain I alwfcys drivo
them up and put them in coop, and
keep them in coops till the dew is
dried off mornings. Until they are
six days old feed them nothing but
this: Beat up threo or four eggs like
you would for custard in a pan. then
add four tablespoonfuls of sweet milk
for each egg, then set Jn the baker.
Don't cook too fast or Tit it get
brown. This makes a tougii ood
like custard, and after you h&vO fed
this for six or seven days mix coi'n
bread with it until they get used to
the bread, then leave tho custard out
and feed thorn bread for awhile.
Then feed tXsm just a little smear
case, make it real wet Change the
last two named feeds as often as you
can. Spread an old oil cloth or car
pet on tho chaff and no feed will be
wasted or get dirty. Be sure not to
give water unless it is warmed, and
not more than what could make one
half teaspoonful to each one. But
jou can give them a pint of warm,
sweet cream, and if they get it all
over them so much the better. Every
morning cut up some grass and clover
fine, put in also a pan of ashes and
one of gravel. If they are not shut
up and they get to the water they
will kill themselves before they will
quit drinking. Keep on feeding the
bread and cheeso tili they arc big
USyjfb to cat corn, but never feed
2-aw meal, and. the trouble is over.

1'cach Tree on Heavy Soli.
Time was when it used to bo
thought that peaohos could only be
profitable on ssudv soils. Tho tree
docs not need a dry, do'f "oil. and
is most easily injured by excels- of
moisture. The right conditions aro
follfid oil heavy soils, if they aro
deeply and thoroughly undcrdrained.
When ibis -s done ft somewhat heavy
soil has an inipcV'anf- advantage. It
will not need the iierivj' mt-intring
that experience has shown necessary
on ll"-ht land. The heaw soil has
more of the mineral fertilizer, cspc-'
cially potash, that the poach requires j
to perfect its fruit But however'
rich a heavy soil may be in potash, j
this mineral llko phosphate Is very
apt to gel into" insoluble forma.
Dressings of wood ashes add Of phos
phate in soluble forms will irialce the;
trees grow more vigorously, kcop
tho leaves green longer, and make
the fruit far better than it will other
wise be. American Cultivator.

Good calves can bo raised cheaper

A person known to always mako a
good quality of butter has no trouble
in selling it at the best figures.
If a person who milks with dirty
hands would reflect a little ho would,
or at least should be ashamed of him-
w
Where thcro is a regular market i
for butter at a good price it will pay I
to feed the cow bran, etc, during the'
summer. j
No matter how good a milker the '
cow may be, she will become a poor I
milker unless she is fed and cared for I
properly. I
To havo good milk It must bo prop- !
crty cared for in its early stages. It '
will soon sour unloss quickly cooled
after milking.
A man after establishing a reputa
tion as a grower of good dairy cows
ought to make it pay raising cows to
sell to dairymen.
In the summer timo tho cows
should have free access to good, pure,
fresh water. They aro the best
judges as to when or how often they
need water.
If country people or those owning
cows do not have good milk and but
ter, it is their own fault People who
buy milk havo a hard timo getting a
good article.
Milk put on ice, id a refrigerator
or hung in a cool well as soon as
milked will be much more palatable
than the "blinky" or sour stuff we so
frequently meet.
The Dairy Messenger says that the
cream from cows fed a large amount
of cotton seed requires to be churned
at a higher temperature than other
cream, and suggests 1'2 degrees as

Food becomes dangerous if put 1

glass dishes are the only safe things i
in which leftovers" may ho allowed I
to stand. Many cases of poi.soning '
may be traced to the common prac-
ticc of leaving canned goods stand
ing in the open cans.
An clTcctivo recipe for ridding a
storeroom of a plague of ed ants is
to dissolvo a lump of camphor in I
spirits of wine, add hot water, and
wash the infested places with the
mixture. Lumps of camphor tit-d in
white paper and loft on closet Hiclvcs
will :tso be of assistance in driving
off the persevering ants.
The perfect way of boiling cgirs is
not to boil them at all. They should
be placed in a wire basket that the
necessity of fishing the cgs out one
by one may not keep aome of them
in the water longer than others.
The basket should be submerged in
a dish of cold water. When the
water has coma to a boil, not boiled,
the eggs are ready to be served. '
Yawning cracks in the floor may be '
neatly and permanently filled with a '
paste made by soaking newspapers in
a mixture of half a pound of Hour,
half a pound of alum, and three
quarts of water. The mixture, news
papers and all, should be thoroughly
boiled until it is about the consist-
cncy of Ptty
It may 1 c put in the
cracks and smoothed flat with a case
knife. It will harden like papier
mache and will take paint like the

A rolled sandwich is sometimes
very acceptable, because it has not
much exposed surface, and it is not
I
so likelv to become drv. It must be
about a
made of home-made bread
day oid, cut very thin, and with the
crust entirely trimmed off. Unless
the bread is tender yet firm, it will
not roll well: and. in any case, the
sandwich mixture must be spread on
first, the bread then rolled in a firm
roll, and a slight weight laid on it; i
or it must be pinned up in a napkin j
to keep it in place.
The Falmeierl Family.
A poetical legend derives the name
of Palmier! from a favorite young cup
bearer of Emperor Otho I. It runs
thus: When the emperor had defeated
Uerengcr IV, Pope Agabetus II sent
him a palm branch with a long mes
sage of congratulation. Otho gave the
branch to his young favorite to carry
before him so that all the world should
see how the pope had honored him.
The youth came to be called "it palm
iere" (the palm bearer) and adopted
the appellation as his name. After
wards the emperor gave him a castle,
and his grandson, being handsome and
of noble mien, won the heart of the
only daughter of a rich noble, one La
tino, the lord Kasoia. Thus the Tal
miert became, according to the old
legend, very powerful and possessed of
i uch wcath.

When the patients at a Toronto asy
lum finished their dinner one day, fl
knife, fork and spoon were found to be
missing. A strbir warch was made,
but there was no trace of them any
where. Suddenly one of the attend
ants heard something rattling' inside
one of the patients, the son of a well
known Toronto clergyman, and an ex
amination revealed the fact that he had
swallowed the cutlery, and when he
moved about it jingled in his
stoma-h. All efforts since have
failed to recover the lost articles, but
their possession has not hothered the
man in the least. In response to a ques
tion, one of the surgeons said:
"He is all right. lie eats just as
heartily as he did before, and his appe
tite is quite as well.
lie is now allowed no knife, fork, or
spoon for external use, however.

Union Market station in New lork
City, saved the lives of nine people on
June 1. Fire was discovered in a furni

mates in the top floor was cut otr.
Ponegan climbed over the roof of an
adjoining building and opened the scut
tle of the roof of the burning structure.
The family was discovered groping
about and nearly overcome by the
smoke. He carried the whole family
in five trips to the roof of the building,
whence they were brought down by
means of ladders. The furniture build
