Th. Difference Between Hard Labor and Penal fcerritude. The difference in Great Britain between hard labor and penal servitude is one of period and treatment. Hard labor varies as to period from a few days to two years, and however well a prisoner behaves btrcself the sen tence Is never shortened. There are two classes of hard labor. la the first class the punishment administered consists of six to ten hours' work at the treadmill, the crank or the capstan, or at stone-breaking or shot drill. In the second class the hard labor really consists of such punishments as may be decided by the justices In session. Penal servitude is the modern substitute for transportation beyond the eas. term of penal servitude begins With nine months' hard labor in a probationary prison, and after that the convict Is employed on public works in a penal settlement. The work la comparatively light, and in most prisons a well-behaved man gets off pretty easily. In addition to this, by virtue of a system of marks for good behavior, he has always before him the possibility of reducing his sentence by at most about one year in five. Cnred Her Diabetes.

INCIDENTS AND ANECDOTES OF THE WAR. The Veteran of the Rebellion Tell of Whlstlln. Ballets, Jriht Bayonet-. Bnrotl-g Bombe, Bloody Battles) Cava tp Fire Featl-e Bags, Etc Etc "Do you know," asked the colonel, "that General W. T. Sherman put Foraker forward as a presidential candidate fifteen years ago? He did at a meeting of the Army of the Tennessee at Cincinnati in 18S9 and a good many of the boys will remember with what wnrmth and earnestness Uncle Billy spoke. Foraker was not of the same generation as Sherman, Sheridan, Rosecrans, McCook, Hayes, Cox, Steedman, Garfield and other Ohioans who won high rank and distinction in the Civil War. Sherman was 41 years old when he took command in the Union army; Grant was 39, and Foraker at the same date was a boy of 15. "Rosecrans was 42 when he was appointed colonel of the Twenty-third Ohio; Hayes was 39 when he entered the same regiment; Crook was S3 when commissioned colonel of the Fourteenth; Ly tie was 35 when he was made colonel of the Tenth; Bob McCook was 34 when he took charge of the Ninth; William Sooy Smith Ä1 when he was appointed colonel of the Thirteenth; Alex. M. McCook was 30 when given the colonelcy of the First; Garfield 30 when he became colonel of the Forty-second, and Foraker was 16 when he enlisted In the Eightyninth in 18G2. He was a boy soldier when all the others were brigadiers or major generals, and twenty-four years after the close of the war Sherman spoke of him with the pride of the old man In the achievements of the young. "Foraker had lots of solider experience before he was 18, and was in command of his company. Then he went to the staff of General Slocum, and it was as the fine horseman, the dashing officer that Sherman remembered him. It was Foraker, by the way, who carried Sherman's dispatch announcing the capture of Savannah to President Lincoln as a Cnristmas gift, from the army headquarters to the fleet Remembering this. General Sherman, in his address in Cincinnati In 18S9, told the story of young Foraker riding through the pint woods with a message from General Slocum riding up to him, horse in lather and man and horse covered with mud, like a knight errant, a boy in years, but in appearance, In bearing, in speech, every Inch the soldier. "Sherman said that from that hour be had loved Foraker, because he had come to his commanding general as fair a picture of the Ideal soldier as his eyes had ever looked upon. Then, turning to Foraker, he said, in words that not any one who heard them ever forgot, I wish you. Governor Foraker, all honor, all glory, all fame. I wish you may rise to the highest position the American people can give yon. "Sherman died in 1S01, Sheridan, Hayes, Garfield, Rosecrans, Crook, Steedman, and others of the old Ohio soldier circle are gone. Grosvenor, Keifer and a very few others survive. McKinley, more nearly a contemporary of Foraker, is gone. Foraker, the most distinguished of the boy soldiers of the war, the officer who was not of age until two years after the close of the war, seems to be now In the line of promotion marked out by General Sherman fifteen years ago." "Speaking of General Steedman," said the captain, "I came to know him very well after the war, and he told a good many stories of his campaigns. He was an aggressive, hide-bound Democrat, but he used to laugh over his first meeting with Andrew Johnson. When he was at Camp Dick Robinson in 1SG1 a number of East Tennesseeans, after a long period of wandering, came into camp. Among them were Andrew Johnson and Horace Maynard. "They had been roughing It for some weeks, and Johnson, in clothes and In general appearance, was very much the worse for wear. Steedman at once Invited him to share his quarters, and took him over to his tent An old fellow, serving as orderly, took the general aside and said: 'Good Lord, General, you are not going to bunk with that old tramp, are you? Steedman explained that the tramp was Andy Johnson, and that he was to be treated with the greatest consideration. The orderly retorted that Andy Johnson or Andy anybody else made no difference with him. He would bet money the oldf fellow had graybacks. "Several months later the same orderly carried a message from General Steedman at Nashville to Governor Andrew Johnson at the State bouse: The Governor was the pesoniflcation of neatness, formality and dignity, and when the orderly entered the executive office was pacing to and fro with a look on his strong face that made him very forbidding. The old soldier presented his message, and was astounded to hear the Governor say: 'You are the fellow that said I had graybacks. Great Scott, I ought to have you shot' Then he smiled and added: Well, I did look like if" '.'Any reference to the Kentucky campaigns," said the major, "always reminds me of the troubles the new regiments had in the Richmond campaign of 1862. Many of the regiments had not been drilled even, and very few of the officers had been under fire. The result was that when the Ninetyfifth Ohio was attacked by KIrby mith s veterans it broke in confusion, most of the men scattering. Lieutenant Colonel J. B. Armstrong and a number of line officers and men stood stubbornly against overwhelming numbers and were captured. "Armstrong rode a very fine hon, and General Smith told him, after he had given his parole, that he might retain the horse. General Heath, however, revoked the order and took the horse to his own headquarters. Armctrcnj, lzdignant took the horsi fczci, mounted him, and rods after tla ri cl tij regiment, marcürj m

They understood the situation, and when the pursuing cavalry came up managed to detiin them until Armstrong got a fair start Then there was a race for the Union lines and Armstrong won. He kent his parole and he also kept his horae." Chicago Inter Ocean.

Mother, May I Go? (A letter written by a young man to his mother asking permission to enlist It was written in February, 1SG2.)

That will kindle, with each impulse, with ach throbbing of your heart I have heard my country calling for hei sons that stil! are true, I have loved that coantry, mother, next to God and you; And my soul is springing forward tc resist her bitter foe; May I go, my dearest mother? Tell me, mother, may I go? From the battered walls of Sumter, frcrx the wild waves of the sea, I have heard her cry for succor, as tha voice of God to me. Ia prosperity I loved her? In her dayi of dark distress, With your. spirit in me, mother, could I love that country less? They have pierced her heart with treason; they have caused her sons to bleed. They have robbed her in her kindness they have triumphed in her need They have trampled on her standard, and she calls me in her woe; May I go, my dearest mother? Tell me, mother, may I go? I am young and slender, mother -thej would call me yet a boy. But I know the land I live in, and thi blessings I enjoy, I am old enough, my mother, to be loyal, proud and true To the faithful sense of duty I have evei learned from you. We must conquer this rebellion, let th doubting heart be still; We mut conquer it or perish. We must conquer and we will. But the faithful must not falter, and shall I be wanting? No I Bid me go, my dearest mother, tell me mother, may I go? He who led his chosen people in theii effort to be free From the tyranny of Egypt will be merciful to me, Will protect me by His power whatso'ei I undertake, Will return me home In safety, dearest mother, for your sake, Or should this, my bleeding country, need a victim such as me, I am nothing more than others who have perished to be free. On her bosom let me slumber, on hei altar let me lie, I am not afr.ud, my mother, in so good a cause to die. There will come a day of gladness, whet the people of the Lord Shall look proudly on their banner which His mercy has restored.

Read, the veracious ana always reliable editor of the Arkansaw Traveler, vouches for the truth of this startling bit of war history: During the recent dredging of Fox River, in Tennessee, the sunken remains of the once nervous little gun boat the Yellow Jacket were discovered. The sinking of the Yellow Jacket was one of the most remarkable accidents that ever occurred In this country. The complete details of the affair could not bo obtained at the time; in fact we are in possession of the only authentic account Here It is, told by John P. McLuskln, now a well-known physician of Coffee County, Tennessee:' "It occurred," says the doctor. "when I was a lad. There had been a heavy snow, and several boys, in cluding myself, were prowling about hunting rabbits; we began to amuse ourselves by rolling a snowball. We were at this time on the long hill known as Benson's Slope. We rolle 1 the ball until It got to be as large as a hogshead; and then, as It was easy to roll down the hill, continued tc turn it over. To our great delight It baceme easier to roll, and suddenly, to our great surprise, it broke away from us and went bounding down ihi slope. Then we beheld a startling sight The ball grew so rapidly, that It soon looked like a rolling mountain. It picked tip a wagon and team, took up a negro cabin and then, -with a tremendous bound, foil Into the river, Just In time to strike and completely bury the gunboat Yellow Jacket Not o soul on board escaped."

ECONOMY OF LIBERAL FEEDING. A cow giving a large flow of milk is a hard working animal and needs to be fed accordingly. It is estimated, says Prof. D. H. Otis of the Kansas experiment station, that about CO per cent, of wfcat a cow is able to consume goes to maintatln the wear and tear on her system, and the profit in milk and butter fat production comes from the feed she consumes outside of this amount needed for support The cow Is selfish enough to take her ehare of the feed first, and then what is left over goes to the owner for his profit. If this per cent needed for maintenance is correct, it stands to reason that a cow fed -70 per cent of what she will eat will return 10 per cent prot; while the cow fed 100 per cent win return 40 per cent or four times as much. Of course it is possible to overfeed, and a man should watch his feed bin and milk scales at the same time. If he suspects that the cow is not getting enough then he r.hould Increase the feed, and if the responds in the form of Increased yield of milk perhaps the feed should be Increased some more; but it she fails to respond, then withdraw the extra feed. Our experience indicates that the cows must be studied individually, and the amount of feed given them must vary according to the individual capacity. It took very little more feed for our best cows than it did for our poor cows. If we had withheld the feed from the good cows, the amount realized would have been materially decreased. It dees not pay to feed a poor cow, Dut it does pay to feed a good fow liberally. When feeds are high it sets the ! dairyman to thinking how he can combine them in the best possible form to get the largest results from the value of the feed used. This means that the man must size up his herd and not feed the cows mere : high priced feeds than the value of the products they will turn out. Mature dry cows and those so near dry that their milk is not paying for their feed ciin be put on maintenance rations, I. e., enougn feed to keep the animal in good health and enable it to maintain its present weight without making gains. "The following may serve as a guide to the amount of different feeds required per thousand pounds live weight: '1. Wheat straw IS to 20 pounds (feed all cattle will eat), corn chop or bran 4 or 5 pounds. 2. Corn fodder (stover 18 to 20 pounds (feed all the cattle will eat), corn chop of bran 3 or 4 pounds. Oat straw can take the place of corn fodder by increasing the grain allowance one-half pound. 3. Sorghum hay 20 pounds, corn chop or bran 2Y2 pounds. Fodder, corn and timothy , hay can bo used in place of sorghum hay, and the allowance of grain increased a trifle. 4. Oat hay, millet hay and orchard grass hay will probably maintain an animal without grain. Prairie hay may require a little grain. Alfal'a and clover hay will not only mainttain an animal but will enable it to : grow or gain in livo weight. When j alfalfa form3 a part i i the ration with j other roughage an animal can bre j maintained without grain. j In the above rations, corn chop and bran have been used for the grain because in many localities they are ! the cheapest. Where ground wheat and oats can be had at the same . price they make excellent substitutes, j Kaffir corn or sorghum seed can also be used, by slightly increasing the allowance. In an ordinary herd cows will be found that vary considerably In their milk yield. It stands to reason that a cow giving ten pounds of milk daily does not need the same quality and quantity of feed as a cow giving 20 or 30 pounds daily. The rations following Indicate the amount needed daily per head where different amounts of milk are produced. When cottonseed .neal Is ustvi cows should be accustomed to it gradually: Allow one-half pound the first day, and increase nct over one-fourth of a pound per day. THE RIGHT COWS. Says Professor George A. Smith of the Geneva experiment station: "The farmer should dispose of all cows not showing a good net profit at the end of the year. It is only by careful analysis at "iff e rent seasons of the year that the farmer can tell which cows are the best. Twenty cows well fed and cared for are worth more than 40 half kept "The following shows the production of three cows, all about six years of age, of equal size and with the same care and feed: No. 1 produced 8,000 pounds of 5.6 per cent. No. 2 made 6,000 pounds of 4 per cent milk. No. 3 made 4.C00 pounds of S.8 per cent milk. The cost of keeping was a little over $10 each. This means keeping three cows to get tie profit of one. "At the experiment station we are trying to solve , this question. We have a six-year-old cow, bred from a Jersey cow and a Holstein sire, which gave 11,000 pounds of milk; another one, four years old, gave 9,000 pounds of 5 per cent milk. There is no reason why farmers can't do this, but they can not do this by using a sire from their own herd. They are building down, not up. "The important question is io breed and feed so as to gain the most with the least waste. Remember, the fuel burned is starch, gum and fat, and a 1,000 pound cow needs from 13 to 14 pounds of food to keep her warm. It requires of another element three-quarters of a pound to repair waste, bo you must feed for energy a3 well as milk ani butter. For every 100 pounds of milk she must make 3.9 pounds of nitrogenous natter, if the cow does not have rrcper food to furnish the clcisata

necessary, she will not be a success."

POINTERS ON MILK. A bulletin issued by the Storrs station in Connecticut n the food value of a pound of milk gives the following conclusions: These experiments were made with young animals, in which the digestive fluids were not in full and active operation. To produce one pound of gain in live weight in these young animals, more total solids were required with the milk rich in butter fat than with the milk poor In butter fat Later in the trials, with pigs fed on rich railk ad libitum, serious digestive disturbances were noticed. The failure of a pound of milk solids in rich milk to make equal or better gains was not due apparently to lack of nitrogenous material, but rather to the excess of fat or to the character of tne fat Larger fat globules were found in the richer milk, and this fact, In connection with the digestive disturbances, would . seem to indicate the reasons for the larger gains from a pound of solids with the poorer milk. Fat globules in human ' milk 'are smaller than the fat globules In cow's milk. If it is safe to reason by analogy from the brute to the human, then whole milk containing a low per cent of fat would seem to be better suited for infant feeding than whole milk high in per cent of fat. PRACTICAL POULTRY POINTS. When a lot of fowls become roupy and diseased, it is or rar more Importance to remove the cause than to doctor your stock. Damp, exposed houses, with foul, wet surroundings, are highly prejudicial. Chickens should be reared upon fresh ground every year to insure success, and coops often shifted. A hen that lays three or four eggs per week, at a cost of about two cents for food, is probably the most profitable stock upou your farm. Poultry keeping involves close attention and considerable labor, and that it is far better to be understocked than overstocked. Keep some simple debit and credit account to see how you stand at the nd of the year. Hens in windy weather and without shelter will not lay, and soon become "roupy." "Chopped raw onion is a valuable and simple remedy to give to a sick and drooping fowl. Crushed green bone is cheap and valuable food to give to both hens and chickens. Hen manure is a valuable fertilizer and should not be wasted. Underfed fowls lay but few eggs, and overfed ones often none at all. The best layers are early risers and early morning layers, and of an active disposition. THE BOAR IS IMPORTANT. The first, and if not the most important, point In raising pigs is the selection of a boar. It Is hard to end right if you have not started right This selection of a boar must be made with the idea in view, as to whether the pigs are to be fattened and sold to the butcher as fresh pork when but a few months old, or whether you intend to keep them until they attain their full growth and then fatten them for market. Your boar must also be selected with reference as to whether you wish to raise large hogs or the smaller or finer paes that are marketed at a younger age. . Don't forget to use a lot of judgment in selecting the board and then you will at least be started right WHAT ONE MAN CLAIMS. According to an exchange, a gentleman, who has kept an egn record for the past four years, says that his flock of 100 hens averaged thirtyseven eggs per day during the winter months while the hens were housed. He also states that his income from two cows and 130 hens is at present $C0 per month. We take it that the amount of the income is given as gross; and it would be well f or our readers so understand it Advance on the Telephone. As far back as 1CC7 one Robert Hecke, of London, proclaimed the principle of the telephone. By means of a wire he transmitted sound over considerable distances. A century and a half later, in1821, the word "telephone" was first used, being applied " to Wheatstone's apparatus by which sound was itransmitted through wooden rods. The first patents for the Bell telephone were aken out in 1876. Long distance telephoning is twenty years old this very year. At the beginning of 1904 there wert 3,779,517 telephones under rental in the United States. The number of messages in a year passes beyond 3,000,000,000. A current news item predicts telephonic communication in the near future between New York and San Francisco. With a continent crossed ' by the speech -carry ing circuit there remains the problem of trans-oceanic, communication by telephone. It is not to be doubted that a solution will come. The rapidity of .telephone development, after its first fair start, as indicated in the dates given above, seems .to promise that the crowning achievement in long-distance com municatlon by voice may not be far in the future. The recent census in Gengul, India, reveals the fact that there are 4,000 baby girls in that province alone who have been married, and of this number; 600, all less than a year old, are widows.

, FOOD PREJUDIES. The Japanese with all their, freedom from superstition, shudder at the sight of milk,, and would sooner forego a breakfast than mix their tea with cream. Their Chinese neighbors Bll up on almost anything digestible enough to dodge the risk of a coroner's inquest, but Insist on boiling hot beverages. What! Does he swallow cold water like a dog? They gasp at sight of ' a foreigner patronizing a fountain. The school of uncompromising vegetarians boast about 300,000,000 converts, or nearly 20 per cent, of the human race, and porkophobia is by no means confined to the devotes of Islam and its sister creed; the Parsees have it and the Druses of Mount Lebanon, also several trißes of the semi-Christian Abysinians. And those same Abysinians will not touch rabbits' meat though they have no compunction about cutting a steak out of a live steer, and penning him up for future reference. Health Culture. BEWARE OF TIN RECEPTICALS. Some friend to humanity should have a large sign printed: "Do not put mayonnaise in tin receptacles" and hang it in every kitchen where salads are prepared. It is only recently that several ladies in Richmond, Va., were made seriously ill by eating salad at a reception. Investigation showed that the mayonnaise In which was considerable lemon juice had been allowed to stand all day in a tin pail. According to the physicians enough poison was generated to kill forty men, and had the ladies eaten the mayonnaise from the bottom of the pail It would have ended seriously. Ptomaine poisoning develops through the action of acid on tin. That is why every can of meat or vegetables or fruits should be turned out into an earthen bowl or crock immediately upon opening the tin can. The air we breathe is a vital force filled with gases which enter into chemical combination with foods and change their composition, more than the average housekeeper who has not studied chemistry dreams. What to Eat THE KITCHEN SINK. There are more mysterious ailments caused by a neglected sink than many people would suppose. The woodwork may be scoured until white as snow, the enamel or porce: lain may be sootless, but what about the pipe, which is hidden from view? How many times have tea leaves been washed down it; greasy water, half-cold, poured down; even water which has been used for cleaning out a room is thoughtlessly disposed of in the same way water containing bits of fluff, matches, and all kinds of flotsam and jetsam, unless the room has been previously and carefully swept. A tiny piece of string or a match lodged in a crevice of the pipe will catch other particles, until quite a large accumulation will have collected. Hair Is the most harmful of all. A tiny wisp will catch on any roughness of the pipe, and will form a trap for anything falling upon it When washing dishes, each plate should be cleared of every particle of food before being put into the watT; and when the dishwashing is completed pour the water through a strainer, which you should keep in the sink. This will prevent any risk. Have ready a pan or a pail of boiling water, melt a large piece of common washing f oda in it, aad pour it, as hot as possible, down the pipe. Never pour-milk down the drain; It will cause the pipe to become sour. About twice a week pour some lime water down the pipe. Make tbe wash in this! way: Put a large tablespoonful cf coarse salt into an earthen pan, and add twice the quantity of quicklime; pour on these ingredients four gallons of hot water, stir and let it settle, and then pour the clear liquid down the pipe.

The scat of the disease is in the blood, and while the sufferer is rubbing -lotions and grease on the skin the poison in the circulation is increasing. Delays in adopting a sensible treatment aro dangerous because rheumatism may at any moment reach the heart and prove fatal. The only 6afo course forrheumatio sufferers is to get the best possible blood remedy at once. Mr. Stephenson's experience with this obstinate and distressing affliction isthat of hundreds. He says : "About a year ago 1 was attacked by severe rheumatic pains in my left shoulder. The pains were worse in wet weather, and at theso periods caused me the greatest suffering. I tried a number of treatments and ointments, but they failed to alleviate the pains. Then he realized that the cause must be deeper and the pain only a surface indication. He adds: " I had heard Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People recommended as a cure for rheumatism, and when I found that I was getting no relief from applications, I made np my mind that I would try them. Before the first box was gone I noticed that the pains were becoming less frequent, and that they were not so severe as before. After the second box had been nsed up I was entirely free from discomfort, and I have had no tracei of rheumatism since." The change in treatment proved by almost immediate results that Mr. Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No. 113Greenwood street, Springfield, Mass., had found the trne means for the purification and enrichment of his blood. Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills are without doubt the best of all blood remedies. They effect genuine and lasting cures in rheumatism. They do not merely deaden the ache, but they expel the poison from the blood. These pills are sold by all druggists.
