To those who' fiot care to
sell their seed for ea#h we are ,
offering a strictly high oracle
meal in exchange. Our rate of !
exchange at the mill is 1500 lbs. j
of meal for one ton of seed. It
is a conceded fact cotton
seed meal is a cheaper and i
more effecthe fertilizer than j
cotton seed. According to
chemical analysis of each 886
pounds of cotton seed meal
are eauivalent to 2000 pounds
of cotton seed, but owing
to the superior mechanical
condition of meal, it is safe to
a?gume that 800 pounds of meal
are the full equivalent to one ton
of cotton seed, therefore, whatever
excess above 800 pounds of
meal tbejfarmer gets in exchange
for a ton of seed is so much clear
profit to him in comparison with
using the t?*n of seed directly as
a fertilizer. You can readily see
that by exchanging your seed
with us you realize nearly 100
per cent on the transaction.
Bring vour seed to us and not
make the mistake of getting
inferior meal elsewhere in ex
change.
Our meal is open for inspection.

master'?, servants', guests'?house
is turned of, the linen closets
cleaned rtr.d aired. Every one looks
busy rnd energetic. It is ?r:ito a
long arVuir? lasts throe or four days.
I often w- -it to see the performaiu
e when we made ou? 'de-sive" at
the ibateau every month.
It always interested our English ]
and American friends, as the washing
is ne\wr done in that way in
cither of their countries. h wavcry
convenient at our ) laee, as we
had plenty of room. The "lavoir"
; ? i IT
stood at the to}> oi me sieps loaning
into the kitchen gardens. rh?-i"
was a large square tank sunk in the
ground, so that the women could
kneel to their work, then a little
higher another of beautiful clear
water, all under cover. Just across
the path there was a small house
with a blazing wood lire; in the
middle an enormous tub, where all
the linen was passed through wood
ashes. There were four leasiveuses
(washerwomen), sturdy peasant women
with very short skirts, sabots
and turbans, made of blue and white
checked calico, on their heads, their
strong red arms bared above the elbows.
The Mere Michou, the eldest
of the four, directed everything and
kept them well at work and allowed
very little talking. They generally
chatter when they are washing and
very often quarrel. When tney are
washing at the public lavoir in the
village one hears their shrill voices
from a great distance. Our lingere,
Mme. Hubert, superintended the
whole operation. She was very keen
about it and remonstrated vigorously
when they slapped the linen too
hard with the little flat sticks, like
spades, they use. The linen all came
out beautifully white and smooth.
It hadn't the yellow look that all
city washed clothes have. ? Mme.
VVaddington in Seribuer's Magazine.
Green Oysters.
In Kurope green oysters, called
green burden or marennes, are especially
prized, ar.d to meet the ?ie?
x i i .. .
m:i:m oysters are grceucu in p ucniv
them as soon as captured in sea water,
where they are kept for months
and fad on a species of seaweed
which imparts the coloring matter
to the gills.
From carefully conducted investigations
it appears that in some cases
green oysters owe their color to the
presence of copper. Such oysters
are not generally considered desirable
as food.
Green oysters containing copper
differ in appearance from tho-c owing
their green tint to vegetable coloring
matter, being grass green and
not dark green in color and having
a verdigris-like slimy secretion on
the folds of the mantle. It is slid
that after the addition of vinegar a
steel fork stuck into such oysters
becomes coated with copper and
that if ammonia is added the oysters
become dark blue.?New York Sun.
Leap Year Proposals.
What woman has ever availed
herself ef the privilege of proposing
in leap year? Nevertheless, u i?
interesting to discover whence tee
idea arose. "Her maist blessit majestic
Margaret" decreed in the year
1?88 that during her reign every
maid of Scotland, whether of high
or low degree, should apeak to the
man 6he loved. If he were not betrothed
already he must marry the
maid or pay ?100. Queen Margaret
died, and the women were then
clamorous for this strange privilege
to continue. A appease them an
act of parliament waa passed allowing
tlse maidens to make their proposals
every fourth year.?London
Graphic.
London's Lord Mayor.
A London paper reports that it
costs the cprporation of London
about $90,000 a year to maintain
the pomp and glory of the lord
mayor's office. The lord mayor gets
$50,000 a year salary, new furniture
for each incumbent costs $500, and
the robe supplied to each newly
elected official is worth $1,000. The
rates, taxes and tithes payable on
;he Mansion House total $10,000 a
rear, and other incidental expenses
jring the annual cost of the office
lp to $90,000.

THAW FOUXD NOT GUILTY.

Dangerous Lunatic.
Xk\v Vokk, February 1:?Adjudged
not guilty of the murder
of Stanford White by reason of
insanity at the time the fatal
jslipts were tired, Harry Ken
da! I Thaw today was held by
the court to lie a dangerous
lunatic and was whirled away
to the .nate llo-pital for the
Criminal Insane at Matteawan. ^
It was a quick transition from

young" man's home for more
: tlia.ii 1.* months, to the white!
bedded wards of the big asylum
tucked away on the sne.v coverled,sloping
banks of the Hudson,
river, uOmiles above the city
The verdict came after 25 hours
of waiting and when every one
connected with the case had
abandoned all,hope of an agreement
ever being reached in this
or any other trial.
Four hours after the foreman's .
lips had framed the words "not
guilty" with the accompying insanity
clause, Thaw, protesting
he was sane, was on his way to
Matteawan. A little after nightfall
he had been received in the
institution under commitment
papers wbich directed Ins detention
"until discharged by due
course of law."
No more unwilling patient
ever made a journey to a State
institution. Thaw's train on its
way to to Fishkill Landing,,
where a carriage was taken to
Matteawan, passed beneath the
very walls of grim Sing Sing,
but at no time since his arrest
on the night of June 96,1000,
had the young Pittsburg millionaire
ever held the thought that
he would se the inside of that
famous prison and he heeded it< ,
