A similar appendix to the Sentence was read in the case Of Bertelinann, and he also was set free. The prisoners exhibited much nervousness while their sentences were read. They donned their prison suits immediately. Gulick was first to appear in the new garb. The trousers,coat and hat were of black and white stripes. The sen---4iiB.ee of Capt.

THE PUBLIC PURSE. Its Condition ns* Shown by the Monthly Treasury Statement. Washington, March 4.—The monthly statement of the public debt, issued from the treasury department shows that on February 28, 1895, the public debt, less cash in the treasury, amounted to 8890,412.914, a decrease for the month of 834,038,328. This decrease of debt is accounted for by the receipt of gold of the last bond issue, against which no bonds have yet b$en issued. Following is a recapitulation of the debt: Interest-bearing debt, 8685,043,860; increase during the month, 8720,150; debt on which interest has ceased since maturity, 81,779,800; decrease for the month, 813,890; debt bearing no interest, 8381,787,366; decrease for the month, 81.145,806; total debt, 81,641,366,057, of which 8572,755,530 are certificates and treasury notes, of which there is an i equal amount of cash in the treasury. : The treasury cash is classified as fol- > lows: Gold, 8188,593,280, silver, $508,859.907; paper. 8134,103,696; general ao- j count and disbursing officers’balances, etc., 816,534.017; total, 8798,090,901, against which there are demand liabilities amounting to 8619,893,035, leaving a cash balance of 8178,197,586. of which 887,085,511 is in gold reserve. A treasury statement of receipts and expenditures during the month of February, 1895,^shows: Receipts aggregating $22,888,057, an increase over February, 1894, of about 8618,000. The disbursements for the month amount, to 885,696,035, a decrease from the expenditures of February, 1894, of about 8100,000. The deficit for the month, therefore, was 82,807,973, and for the eight months of the present fiscal year 836,- I 295,771.

THE WAR IN THE EAST. fh« Invincible Japs Score A nether Victory j —Steadily Advancing on New Chwaug. London, March 4.—The Hai-Cheng correspondent of the Central News telegraphs under .the date of February 28: The first army to-day attacked the enemy encamped between the Liaoyang and New Chwang roads. The fifth brigade engaged the right t^ing, routed, it and drove it back toward Daifuter. The main column attacked and routed the enemy at Changhotai. The sixth brigade marched along the Liaoyang road, joined the main division, and with it occupied Tungyentai and the immediate neighborhood in the direction of Liaoyang. The Japanese loss was ten killed and eighty-two wounded. The Chinese left 150 dead on the field.” Official dispatches received at Hiroshima confirm the above report. The Japanese division occupied, after the fighting, tHe entire district to Saiyen-tai-Tafuton, and further movements were projected for March t. The official Japanese reports of February 23 said that the enemy had 15,000 men and ten guns. Gen. Yih was in command. During the action a se? ond Chinese force of 3,000 made an attack on Hai-Cheng from the eastward, but was repulsed without difficulty. On March 1 Gen. Nodzu reported from Hai-Cheng: ‘‘The third division began the advance at 8 a. m. The advance guard engaged and repuled 2,000 of the enemy. “Gen. Hayashi’s brigade then joined the main division which routed the Chinese and captured Konshinho at noon. ;

AGRICULTURAL HINTS. A GREAT CjHVILlZER. flat Is What Ex-Speaker K*ed Call# % Good Country Road. Hon. Thomas B. Reed, ex-speaker of the boose of representatives, in an ad-j dress to the graduating’ class of thej Peirce College of Business, in the Acad emir of Music, Philadelphia, speaking of the various forms of wealth and( the comforts and benefits arising from' and made possible thereby, made the following significant allnsion to the country road as an asset of the nations, and as a factor in contributing to the wants and necessities of the human race: “One of the greatest civilizers of the world is something we hardly think of, either as a civilizer or as wealth—the common country road. Few people ever think how much roads cost us. They represent the surplus labor of

And yet, the modern road, crossing the country in all directions, traversible by carriages and carts, as well as beasts, does not go b&ck to the, times of good Queen Bess. Indeed, in her reign thousands might starve, and did starve, in one county, Y»’hile abundance filled the granaries of the others. ; “Think of men and women, and children starving from mere lack of that form of wealth which we call roads in the days when Brake and thegreat,cap* tains ft’ere scouring the seas in search of'the Spanish galleons and Spanish gold, and when the military might of England hurled back the Spanish? Armada and all the power of the greatest nation on the face of the globe. In the very heart of London, in the stred named after the king himself, the only way one o&the Edwards could get to his parliament was to fill with great bunches of fagots the - holes in the street” I

ANIMALS ON FARMS. A U«ereMt Reported of All Kind* Ex- *> cept Milch Cow*. The statistical bureau of the agricultural department has given out the following report: The estimates of farm animals for January, 1895 show a decrease in the number of horses, as compared with January, 1894, of 187,281, or 1.17 per cent. ; a decrease in mules of 19,123, or (L81 per cent,; an increase in milch cows of 17.129, or Ot 10 per cent.; a decrease in oxen and other cattle of 2,243,952, or 6.11 per cent.; a decrease in the number of sheep of 2,753,953, or 6.11 per cent.; a decrease in the number of swine of 1,040,782, or 2.30 per cent. In value horses have declined 24.1 percent., mules 23.5 per cent,, milch cows have increased about 1 per cent., oxen and other cattle have lost in value 1.1 per cent., sheep have declined 2.2 per cent, and swine 16.9 per cent. The decline in the prices of farm horses is general throughout the country. The exceptions are to be found in the mountain and Pacific states and Massachusetts. The range of horses is from $16.18 per head in Utah to $74.13 in Massachusetts. The average value of milch cows increased from $21.77 in 1893 to $21.97 for last year. The average value per capita of animals as estimated are as follows: Horses, $36.29; mules, $47.55; milch cows, $21.97; oxen and ot^jer cattle, $14.06; sheep, $1.58; hogs, $4.97. The aggregate numbers and value of animals are as follows: Horses 15,893,318, value $576,740,560; mules 2,333,108, value $110,927,834; milch cows 16,504,629, value $362,601,729; oxen and other cattle, 34,364,216, value $482,999,129; sheep 42,294,064, value $66,685,767; swine 44,165,816. value $219,501,267. Total values of live stock on farms is $1,819,846,306, a decrease of $351,370,440.

Turkeys Hutohed la Incubators. Turkeys can be and have been hatched in an incubator, but not with as much success as chickens. We think it a better plan to batch with the natural mothers, as it is a surer way and saves trouble. A large enough per cent, of the eggs do not hatch as a rule with the Incubators, and there is much watching required when raised in a brooder. They have to be fea every hour, and as they have very delicate appetites, they cause more or less trouble. While they require attention even when they hate old turkey hens for mothers, still she -is able to provide some for them, and is also able to keep them warm enough. We really think it best to leave the incubator for hens’ and ducks’ eggs.—Poultry Queries. —— -- Road Foundations of Cloth. The Massachusetts highway commissioners’ board has found in building macadamized roads that upon loose, sandy soil much stone is wasted by being driven into the sand. In such' cases gravel, when accessible, has been placed upon the sand to a depth of 3 or 4 inches, and" the stone laid on this. By so doing the cost |s greatly reduced. There being no gravel at Martha’s Vineyard, cheap cotton cloth h^s been spread upon the sand, and over that the stone. The sand dries not work up through the stone, and much less stone is required. Layers of tarred paper were tried, but without success, as tbe stbnc pressed through them.

TO MAKE A HOTBED. A Subject in Which Enry Farmer S heald Be Interested. A hotbed of convenient sine for the farmer mar be made as follows: The frame may be* 16 inches high at the rear and 14 inches in front from the level of the (ground, and covered with sash of any desired size. The boards are nailed together at the corners, fastened to 2x3 Inch scantling, bat gardeners first make a pit, 1 foot deep, and use a frame 34 inches at the rear and 22 inches at the front, according to the kinds of plants to be grown. The height at the front, however, deggnda on the width of the bed. Fresh horse manure, free from litter, is generally used. It is the fermentation of the manure that creates the heat. If the manure is too loose it may create heat more rapidly than desired. It la better to mix the manure in a pile, allow is to heat some, and then torn it over and well mix it again before using it in the hotbed. Having trampled the manure, firmly cover with rich dirt to whieh has been added one-fourth its bulk of fine, wellrotted manure. There should be no lumps, stones or pebbles in the hotbed. If necessary, sift the dirt. The thickness of the dirt should be about 6 inches. As there will then be about a foot of space between the dirt and the sash (the hotbed being 34 inches at the rear) ample air space will thns be provided. If the manure does not heat up quickly and is slow sprinkle the bed well with hot water, first adding a small quantity pf air-slacked lime to the water. If . too much heat is generated use cold, water alone. When the heat reaches about 60 degrees plant the seeds in rows, but more warmth will be required for the young plants later on. ; „ The frame should be well banked np with dirt to prevent the effects of the frost. The object should be to maintain as even temperature as possible. On clear, warm days the sash may be raised slightly in order to admit pir during the middle of the day, but this will depend on many circumstances. The better plan is to hang a thermometer in the hotbed, and to visit it freSuently. As the heat from $he manure eereales the weather wiU become warmer. Gradually accustom the plants to the atmosphere as much as possible, and transplant to the cold frame such as may be suitable for that purpose. Some sort of covering should be used over the sash at sight, sueh as an old carpet, with a few loose boards over the carpet. The temperature of the atmosphere must be the guide in management, as the plants must not be kept too warm 6r become liable to being chilled.—Farm and Home. ^

COVER FOR PUMPS. A. Method of Protection Whleh la Effecttee end Yet Simple. At the north, pumps in cold, bleak situations tore liable to freeze up, causing a vast amount of trouble. In the accompanying sketch is shown a simple method of protecting one of the common piston pumps. An’ outer jacket of wood envelops the pnmp. It should be large enough to allow a three-inch space all arouna the sides. This space should be filled with chaff, finely-cut hay or straw, pressed firmly in position. Additional protection is given by the piece of board, a, which has a hole in it that fits closely over the pump handle, and during the coldest weather, when the pump is not in ub0, this board is placed as shown in the illustration, pressed against the side of the pump, and hung upon a nail at b. If in a windy Ibcation, the

PUMP PROTECTOR. spout should be stopped up with cloth, leaving enough projecting to readily remove it by. Anyone who has had to water cattle in the morning and has found the pump from which he proposed to get water frozen solidly, will appreciate this simple arrangement for preventing such a state of affairs. Careless employes may leave the pump unprotected on cold nights, and find it frozen in the morning. To fix in their minds the duty of looking out for it, let them carry 15 or 20 pails of water from a more distant well for the nfibrning watering, and they will not again forget it.—American Agriculturist.

» About Eorlj Hood SowbiK. Plant seeds of nearly all varieties to be started indoors as follows: Fill shallow boxes nearly full,of good garden soil, sprinkle the seed over, then sift on enough fine soil to cover the seeds well from sight, press down firmly with a bit of board, sprinkle or set the box into a pan containing an inch or two of water until the moisture, begins to show at the top of the soil, then cover loosely and set in a warm place near the stovepipe. Watch the box that the soil does not become dry and as soon as the first plant appears move to a sunny window.—W. F. Heath, in Farm and Home. Best Manure for Garden Feak.'°*-=* The thoroughly decomposed manure taken out of last season^ hotbeds is the best manure for garden seeds, especially if a little superphosphate is used. After the soil is put over the stable manure when making hotbeds, apply ten or twelve pounds of super-*' phosphate to each bed 6x30 feet and' rake it into the surface soil. For early plants, select for the hotbed a southeastern exposure backed by a high plank fence or a belt of evergreens. A screen made of small pine trees will answer the purpose.

Treatment for Frost Rite. A person who has become nnrabed with cold must be gradually restored by wrapping the body in warm blankets, using friction to restore the circulation and administering stimulating drinks or hot tea. It should be remembered that the tips of the ears or of the nose and fingers may be frostbitten without the individual being aware of it. The surest indication of such a condition is the change of color in the parts, which become white, and show that the blood has left them. Children going to school in country districts should be instructed in this matter by their teachers and theistparents, for no doubt serious suffering is caused merely by ignorance as to the right apd safe method of treatment in such matters.—N. Y. Tribune. Sorry to Part With Mr. Smarto. "Mr. Smarte,” said the head of the firm, “I happened to overhear your criticisms this morning of the manner in which business is carried on here. You appear to be laboring under a mistaken idea. As a matter of fact, we are not running this house to make money. Not at all. We carry on this business simply as a school for the instruction of young men. But as you seem to know so much more about business than we do, it would be only wasting your time to keep you here. The cashier will settle with you. What is our loss is your’gain.”—Boston Transcript
