WAS COSTLY CASE.
Lafayette County, Miss., Spent $12,00ft
on a Murder Case.
Jackson, Miss., Sept. 10.?-According
to figures just compiled the cost of
tho Mathis-Owens-Lester-Jackson inur.
der case in Lafayette county lias already
reached tho enormous sum of
$12,000, and only one of tho four men
indicted lias commenced his sentence.
Mat bis and Lester, however, are to be
banged at Oxford on Sept. 24, and
there is every indication that the death
sentence will yet be fastened on
Owens, the father-in-law of Matthls,
over whom a life sentence is now pend.
ing, and ono Indictment is yet to be
tried.
An effort will be made, according
to advices Just received, to secure a
pardon for William Jackson, who >a
now serving a life sentence for complicity
in the murder. Jackson is
exonerated by the confession of Matthis,
in which little reliance is placed,
but other evidence has been adducod
to show that he did not actually participate
in the slaughter of tho Montgomery
brothers, and only happened
to be at the bouse of Matthis when
the deed was committed. Jackson
is a criminal of undoubted guilt, and
has been indicted for counterfeiting
and making moonshine whisky, but
many citizens feel that he should not
suffer punishment for a crime of which
he is not guilty, and if he is released
it is believed that it will have some
effect in restoring the reason of his
wfe, who has been confined in the inwife,
who has been confined in the intragedy.

Work That tkt Heart Doe*.
The work of the heart la the clrSolution
of the life giving blood throughout
the body. With each stroke or
beat of the heart it projects something
like six ounces of blood into the bodily
conduits, throwing it for a distance
of nine feet. That it does sixty-nine
times a minute, 4,140 times each hour,
09,860 times |n a day, 86?66^0O times
in a year and 2,640,887,120 times in a
lifetime of seventy years. The blood
Is propelled by the heart nine feet each
beat, 207 yards each minute, seven
miles tffl hour, 169 miles In a day, 01^17
mires In a year and 4,88(0^120 miles in
the seventy /ears.
The total force exerted 'by the heart
every twenty-four hours has been cali
culated to be equal to 124 foot tons?
, thut Is, if tbe whols fores expended
( by the heart in twenty-four hours were
j gathered Into one huge stroke such a
j power would lift 124 tons one foot off
tho ground. This being the dally
force, that exerted in a year would be ]
> n|uui 10 ^o.zuu root tons and that in a
( lifetlino of seventy years 3,170,803.
I Such Is the enormous amount of work
performed by the human heart; which
. only weighs eleven ounces and Is about
: the size of the closed fist.

Sailors' Carious Peti.
It has been said of the Jackie sailor
boy tlmt he Is so passionately fond of
pets lie must have something to love,
if it is "only a cockroach in a 'baccy
box." This statement was founded on
fact, for one of the most remarkable
pets of nn English ship was a monstrous
cockroach. He was four inches
long and one inch broad.
One of the sailors - bad tamed him
and built for him a cago with a little
kennel In the corner of it. This inBoct
prodigy learned to recognize his
master's voice, and when he heard
him call would hurry out from his
kennel in response.
Among other odd pets that have been
beloved by English sailors was a seal,
who had a tank residence on board
and a dully round of pleasure and
duty, his pleasure seven meals a day,
his duty a bath after each meal. Another
was a deer, who would take a
quid of tobacco with so much delight
that the fellow feeling aroused by his
appreciative taste made him a general
favorite.
According to Formula.
Judge Peunypacker was once asked
by his brother Harry during a session
of court for the loan of $5. Harry
walked to the desk and whispered the
request in the judge's ear. The latter,
looking down over the top of his
glasses without the suggestion of a
smile, said loud enough to be heard
throughout the room:
"Put your application In writing and
present it* to the court in a proDer man
tier."
Mr. Pennypncker, thinking the judge's
insistence upon regularity to be merely
regard for the dignity of the court,
wrote out the request and handed it to
tho clerk of the court, who in turn '
passed it to the bench. The judge read
it quietly and seriously and then Interrupted
the pending trial long enough
to say:
"Application for a loan of 95 made
to this court is received and refused."

A citizen from the frontier, who
never had been in Washington before,
was visiting a friend In the nation's
capital and was taken one day to the
gallery of the senate while an Important
measure was under discussion.
A senator was delivering a long,
prosy and apparently aimless speech,
and the visitor soon grew tired of it
"Why doesn't he say something
worth listening to?" he whispered to
his friend.
"Oh, he's merely talking against
time."
"What's the good of that?" asked the
other, aghast. "Time goes on Just the
same. doesn't it?"
"I suppose It does," replied his
friend, looking at his watch and yawning;
"but It doesn't seem to."

At Saxon dinners slices of bread
were the substitutes for plates, and

came to recognize the superior advantages
