At the prison of Halle, Klein occupied a cell about 12 cubic meters in size, with jjh'V one small window in it, and his bed was %"•*& - a plank with a maize straw mattress and one blanket. His food consisted chiefly P , of barley, peas and other grain, with „ aonp made of meat twice a week and of L3S »tallow the other five days. The allotted "t daily task for each prisoner was 12 pairs of stockings, and the penalty for not - completing them a beating with a cane. Klein earned 35 marks, or shillings, for jL' his six years' work.--London Letter. f VlQlUBERT ISLANDS' MONARCH. SAe Clvilliiog Influences Developed bj His Visit to San FrancUoo. "The island of Taputcouea," said Cap tain J. Duncan, until recently in com­ mand of the missionary steamer Morn­ ing Star, "has adopted a somewhat dif­ ferent code of etiquette since the return of the king of the Gilbert islands from his ! visit to San Francisco. His majesty no longer roams barefooted around the is­ lands in the native costume, but has de­ veloped a pronounced fancy for collect­ ing clothes and owns an extensive ward- ^ robe. Eastlake furniture is now in use at the royal palace, and his majesty will allow nothing but choice china and cost- , ly silverware on the table. When the king returned home from San Francisco, he took a horse and bug- gy with him. There are no horses and no buggies on the islands, and conse­ quently no roads. The king, immedi­ ately after landing, set men to work hewing out rocks and making a circular : road about 50 feet from the top of the • cone shaped islands. The natives are not i rapid workers, their tools are crude, and it was but a short time ago that the road was completed. This is the only road on the islands, and it begins and ends at the same place and is 15 miles long. Every afternoon the king, arrayed in a sport­ ing costume, exercises his one horse s around this one road, while the natives gasse on in a state of admiration.--San Franpwco Examiner.

When the French barn on Lake street tras Irarned a few months ago, a valua­ ble horse, a trotter, lost his life. The j OTimal was valued at from $1,500 to $3,- 000. In the course of events the body was turned over to the rendering com­ pany, and in preparing it for rendering a curious discovery was made. In the stomach was a stone that weighed 15} pounds and was as large as the top of a (Bilk hat. Dr. E. S. Kelley, commissioner • of health, who examined the stone, is inter­ ested in it and will endeavor to secure it for the Minnesota Academy of Natural Sciences. The doctor says that each suc­ cessive layer , can be traced with ease, and that if the stone were to be sawed in two--it is soft-enough to admit of such an operation-jfche layers would be dis­ tinctly mark^l In att probability the growth startallbrst from a nail, a pebble or some other fafeigii substance that had been taken into ne stomach. The suc­ cessive coatingfhcame from the efforts of unvuiC vO rid ucTB6u Oi IU6 ODSTXUCtion, and the process of growth is not unlike the pearl in the pearl oyster.--Minneap­ olis Journal.

As it Is confidently believed that the climatic conditions and the nature of the soil in certain regions of the Caucasus are en­ tirely favorable to tea culture, new and more practical experiments are about to be made. A large consignment of young plants, with the soil still attached to the roots and carefully packed in wooden cases, has just been landed at Batoum, direct from Hankow. This shipment is accompanied by 15 Chinese planters and aa Englishman who has had a long ex­ perience on China plantations.-- ' -- To Adopt the American System. London correspondent says the gov­ ernment will probably grant a strong petition recently presented for the ap- • pointment of a commission to consider the adoption of the American patent sys­ tem in England. The chief point at is­ sue is whether a system of preliminary examinations into the novelty of inven­ tions should be introduced. Legal and scientific opinions are keenly and pretty eyenly divided on the subject. CAUTION .--if m dealer offers W.
