Cooking by electricity is recommended because all the heat generated goes direct to the purpose for which it is required, so that none is wasted, and consequently the current, with proper contrivances, is as cheap as gas. A polished copper ket tle in which the water is being boiled by electricity looks pretty on the tea-table and interesting ; but it a good examining question to ask, says the English Me chanic, how many units of heat are re quired to boil a quart of water from fifty degrees Fahrenheit, and what is the cost of those units from coal, gas and electricity respectively. It would not be surprising to find a suggestion made in some quarters to use electricity to gener ate steam for driving the dynamos, be cause then there would not be any heat wasted up tho chimney.

( ' "1 Wi'lfractict avy lf the courts of the Sta U The Way Mexico Treats Bandits. "It is a good thing for Messrs. Evans and Sontag that their little eccentricities in the way of manslaughter and train robbing were not indulged in Mexican territory," said a Mexican resident the other day. "The penalty for their kind of peccadillos in Mexico is el fusilamien to the fusillade and it is seMom that a miscarriage of justice occurs. There is little mercy for the culprit only stern justice for justice's sake and the con sequence i3 an almost absolute freedom from such execrable crimes as those which have recently done incalculable injury to California. Mexican laws are rigid in this regard. The only court is a mere handful of daring and dashing fellows Los Rurale3 the military Federal police of the sister Republic. These same Rur ales will trail the fugitivo train robber over the mosb forbidding deserts, or through vastest solitudes of the Sierra Madres, never knowing fear nor what it is to gire up a chase. Usually they cap ture their man. "The rest is picturesque. "Whatever there may be o grimness, in the spectacle i3 lost sight of, because it i3 military law that speak3 and acts for society. No mitter how many miles the Rurales traveled for the prisoner he is taken back, in accordance with the laws of Mexico, to the scene of his crime, and there his life is snuffed out in expiation. "The Rurales, it may be a sqnad, or a platoon, or a troop, sit in judgment over the prisoner. Their leader at last pro nounces their decision, and if it be guilty, he says : 'Paz ir por lar armas' to pas3 by the arms, and that means the fusillade. "The condemned is led to the very spot where he stood when outraging the law. His arms are tied behind him, a bandage shuts out the light of day from forever, hi3 chaleco is thrown open, and then el fusilainiento. His dead body is a monument to his iniquity. San Francisco Examiner. How Locusts are Taken. Locusts are offered for sale in the markets of Arabia, Syria, and Egyp The African bushman cooks them by making great fire. The locusts fly iuto the flames, their wing3 are burned, they fall, and are roasted ; then the bushman draws them forth, eats, and is happy. Some Europeans do not fancy their nut like flar, especially at first, while others find them quite palatable. Lady Ann Blunt tells of riding through a part of Nortii Arabia where a swarm of locusts had lately passed, leaving their dead and stragglers behind them. The camels ate these as a relishing morsel with their provender, and her grey hounds picked them up all day, eating a great many of them. She says they were regularly used in camp a3 a part of the day's ration, and were a very fair substi tute for vegetables, their flavor being something like that of wheat still in the milk. After trying the many different modes of cooking, all the Europeans agreed that they preferred them simply boiled. When cooked they took the creatures daintily by the wings, pulled off their long legs, clipped them in salt, and "ate them with much relish." Lady Ann, when she first tested them, thought them "fairly good," but soon canie to consider then "a most excellent article of diet." During her visit to Arabia, many of the tribe3 were wholly depend ent upon locusts and camel's milk for their food. Yankee Blade.

Neill, the well-known statis tician, estimates the cotton crop of 1892 at 7,100,000 bales, maximum, exclusive of old cotton.

Va., shows over 10,003 names, and the total population of the city, estimated, about 24,000. In the pist two years nearly 1,500 houses have been erected, and 300 mere are now under construc tion.

He reckons fifty loads of stable manure,with hauling, cost $41 50; five sacks of guano, $11.25; hoeiDg, $15.00; plowing.$5 00; preparing ground, $8. 00; picking, $40. 95 ; seed, $ir0i), making a total of $121.70, or $20 45 per acre. " From this ground nine bales of cot to i have been secured, averagi ng $34 00 each, or $3f6. and in addition $45.00 for seed, a total of $351, or $58 50 per acre, leaviug a net profit of $228 30, or $38.03 per acre. At this rate cotton growing should be profitable, but, unfortunately, three cent cotton is oftener read about than seen. Late News Items.

Charleston, S. C. There is danger of th3 loss of the vote of this State to Cleveland. It was discovered that a serious error had been made in printing tho Democrat ic electoral ticket which would have icsulted iu the entire Demo cratic iietoiid vote beiog thrown out on account of illegal ticket.. As it is, the tickets have been in the bauds of the coniiu'-is'oncrs of election and county committees for some time and have been partly distributed. Thenin lies the danger. It is hard to te'l what propor tion of tho ticket that have been sent out from the r-tatc- committee headquart ers :ire illegal. Most- of those heard from are a sixteenth of an inch too long, sonic too small, aud some too large. The law says they must be 5 by 2 J- inches in size. The responsibility for tuch a serious error seems hard to fix. The tickets went through the hands of the executive committee. Secretary Tompkins lias ordered new tickets printed. lie says he cannot tell how many of the illegal tickets have gotten iuto the hands of the voters, but they were all distributed a week or so ago. lie states that h ; ha sent out wa'ning notices to each county chair man and all the commissioners of elec tion and does n: t think any harm wi!l come from it if they all act promptly and energetically. Mr. Tomptkins fails to account for the cm r. A Railroal Ttfb9??an f3r Male?. r "One of the queerest railoads any where in the country," said Rev. D. S. Banks, of North Ontario, "is a novel line that runs from South Ontario up to North Ontario, in San Bsrnardino Coun ty, California, where I live. The line is 'seven miles long. A span of stout mules draw the car up over the road. There is nothing singular about that, but it comes in on the return trip. . "The seven m:le3 are on a tilt all tho way, although the track do63 not look like it. So when the car starts back the mule3 get on and take a ride, the car booming over tho whole line by gravity. The mule3 enjoy it, too. They ride there in a3 self-satisfied a way as any other passengers, and the view seems equally as charming. North Oa tario, you may know, is situated at the mouth of San Antonio canyon, but thero are a lot of magnificent mountains around there. One colony, for they can scarce ly be called towns, is situated on the Santa Fe road aud the other on the Southern Pacific. It is the seven miles of street railway that con nect the two. "The way they get the mules aboard is this: There is a little truck under the car, and it i3 pulled out, becoming an adjunct to the regular paissnger de partment. The moment the truck is slid out the intelligent animals maw a fetart for it aud step up and on. It h textreraely amusing the way they do it, and the way they enjoy this ride, and they are great favorites with the people." ban Francisco Examiner. A decided novelty is on vie w at the Royal Aquarium, Westminster, in con nection with the exhibition of the Na tional Chrysanthemum Society. For the first time in history flowers from New Zealand have been imported in ice, and the experiment has proved a complete success. In the antipodes the culture of the chrysanthemum has awakened a good deal of interest. There April corre sponds with rhe English chrysanthemum month of November; but, until this year, the growers here have had no means of accurately judging the merits of the plants reared in our Australian colonies. It occurred to Mr. Earland, gardener to a gentleman living at Wel lington, to take a few of his finest flow ers to the meat refrigerating works. They were placed in tin caniter3, filled with water and frozen. The tins were on a recent Wednesday at the Royal Aquarium and found to contain each a solid block of transparent ice, in the mindle of which, embedded as it were, in pure crystal, was a beautiful bloom, perfect in shape and color, and compar ing, as experts declared, with the finest varieties customarily exhibited in Eng land.
