The a) em n ) o ;k >1 j from these fifty acres that seasou sold for $10,000 ami the total crop from the hundred acres realized $52, 000?a return to the uwner of $10,000. A climate anil soil that are cap able of rearing such monsters as the red ? wook trees and the se quoias, which render measure ments of vegetable growth in other regions of this country pu ny and scant, account in part for these bewildering figures. Out there /ire obscure valleys, narrow and dimiruiitive, mere pockets, between huge moun tains, where in the past no plant worthy of cultivation has fouud so much as a foothold. And it is in many just such spots as these that tne returns are hu gest. Irrigation, in such cases is the remaining factor that ex glains the mystery. The same magazine tells us a remarkable story of the success of t wo women who tried farming in England. They begun with live acres in Berkshire, but found they had too much laud, so they cut down their holdings to lees than half that amount. The teachers of the women were a French gardener and his family, w.io with au acre of land in France, sold $2,500 worth of produce in a year. "In a bare ploughed field stands a square palisade of zinc plates enclosing about three quarters of au acre," writes a visitor to the farm. "The ground is all covered with inver ted l?ell glassesof the kind known in Europe as clocimrs I'.ider each bell at the time this writer visited the farm were fi veiettuces. Lettuces were growing around the hells aud other vegetables sown broadcast were coming up every where. Every inch of the soil bears at least three crops a year, ?each of them anticipating the season and therefore producing fancy prices."?Technical World, How to net Strong. P. J. Daly, of 1247 W. Congress St., Chicago, says: "My mother, who is old and very feeble, is deriving so much benefit from Electric Bitters, that I feel it's my duty to tell those who need a tonic and strengthening medicine about it. In my mother's case a marked gain in flesh has result ed, insomnia has been overcome, and she is steadily growing stronger." Electric bitters, quickly remedy stomach, liver and kidney complaints.

Heidelberg, Sept. 11?An act of revenge on the part of au Italian laborer, because he con sidered he had been dismissed without cause, has cost the Gov ernment of Baleu the eutu of 0876,000. The Government has been con structing a railroad tunnel through the B'ack Forest Moun tains, working in from each end to meet in the centre. It was discovered to day that the two halves, which should come to gether at the village i f Forbach, miss each other by twenty-six feet. The error was caused b.v a mistake in the survey, which arose from the purposeful mis placing of a surveying pin. This act was the work of the Italian, who had a grudge against the Government.

He said that if the weather is bad on election day tins year, and the percentage of stay-at home Republicans for tbat or any other reason is large, the count of the ballots in the West may bring some surprise. The .Impotence of Law. Not long ago, in a community ot one of our most enlightened States, a man committed an un provoked and atrocious murder. He was apprehended by the au thorities and saved from the vengeance of a mob by the inter position of the military. In short time the grand jury scrutinized the case and returned au indictment charging the ac eused with the crime Jof mu'der. I lu the criminal division of the I circuit courtjof that bailiwick the | case was calledfortrial s >ou after the grand jury had preferred the charge, and tne counsel for the defense asked for a continuance ou the sole ground that putrtic sentiment iliu that community was so hostile to his client that he could not have a fa r trial at that time The motion was granted and thus the very atrocity of his crime shielded the felon from the vengeance oi the law. That sort or thing id the rule in very nearly every neighbor hood in the United States, and it amounts to an indulgence to commit crime. Two continuan ces are very nearly equal to one acquittal. Witnesses die, or for get, or depart, or abscond; the emotional citizen changes his vengeance into sympathy; the malefactor gets to he a hero and a martyr. He is tried when and where the prevailing sentiment is pity. The verdict of "not guilty" is greeted with applause, and the red hauded murderer not only goes acquit, but with the good will of tue populace. That is how our criminal laws are administered. Is it any wouder that Judge Lynch is kept active? Is it any wouder that .Judge Lynch is looked up ou as a mighty good judge in some of the States? Aud as long as our criminal laws are admin istered lor crime aud not for jus tice Judge Lynch will be a very busy man. Equity jurisprudence is defied us tuat wherein the law, by rea son of its universality, is defi cient, aud lyuch jurisprudence may oe characterized as that wuereiu the law, by reason of failure of justice engenders the contempt oi the comuiuuity. \\ e need in America a court ol oyer aud terminer, from whose judgments there is no appeal t'uat would tend to send Judge Lynch on vacation.?Washington 1'ost.
