CHICHESTER'S ENGLISH' WIDOW’S SCHEME. A CURIOUS EPISODE. Questions Which Courts as Well as Re formers Ought to Study. 1 A few days ago a young lady of good social position, and the daughter of most respectable parents, was arrested In a jeweler’s store in Brooklyn for the larceny ot some diamond rings. Sho was examining a tray of tho costly jewels when, as she describes it, an un controllable impulse urged her to take a handful and conceal them about her person. The grief and consternation of her parents, when the fact was raado known to them, is readily conceived. They procured her release on bond«, but she will have to stand her trial for the crime. In the same police court where this fashionable girl was arraigned, anothor young woman was prosont to answer to a similar charge. Sho watched Intently the proceedings which had to do with the novice In crime. And just as they were concluded, sho rose and facing the judge, said in a voice which cut the air like a knife: “You are going to mako a thief out of that girl!" The words thrilled through the court room liko an electric shock. Officers and spectators were alike amazed. “I was once like her," continued the young woman, “and my first crime was like hers. I could have been saved then. If they had let me go, I should never have offended again. But they sont me to prison, locked me up with thieves and abandoned wretchos, and I am now what I am.” The sensation which this announce ment created was reported to be intense. The episode, how ever, quickly passed, and the ordinary routine of the court wont on as usual. The circumstance, how ever, is fruitful of thought to thoso who are devoting their lives to the reforma tion of criminals. Perhaps this young woman Bpoke the truth. In her case the punishment was the confirmation of a criminal career. No ono will argue that the perpetrator of a first crime should invariably bo let off without pun ishment. But should tho machinery of justice bo always inexorable and impla cable? Should it never bo relaxed? Aro there no circumstances when tho veil of silence should be drawn over a crime? Is thero such a thing as uncontrollable impulso? 'Thoso are questions which courts and reformers ought to study.— SI. Paul Globe. PHYSICAL BEAUTY. ’ now She Supported Herself Without Per. forming Any Work. There was a poor woman living in one of the little shanties up-town, with a large family of pigs, goats, geese and children swarming around it She sup ports her family by taking in washing, and her poverty and industry have se cured for her the compassion and the washing of a number of benevolent la dies. One of these ladies recently remonstrated with her on tho size of hor bills, and said that sho had to pay much more for her washing than she did at any of the laundries. The hard-working widow admittod that this was the case, but Bhc respectfully, but firmly, declined to reduce her prico. “You see, ma’am,” she Baid, "I do the very finest handwork, and it wouldn’t pay me to do it for the price the laun dries get for machine work. If you compared my work with theirs you would see a great difference. Thoso Chi namen living in dirt liko pigs aro taking the bread out of honest women's mouths. I don’t see how any lady can bo willing to send her clothes to them. Of course they do it cheap when they have no familios to support and can live on al most nothing; but they tear your clothes all to pieces, and dear knows what you catch from them. No, ma’am, you’d better pay a little moro and have your clothes done nicely by a clean, re spectable woman, besides helping her to support her family." The lady was Influenced by this can did statement, and decided to continue her patronage. But a few weeks after she was surprised to see emerging from a Sing Sing laundry in her neighbor hood the well-known figure of the son of tho poor but honest laundress, stag gering under a huge bundle of clothes. A dark suspicion crossed tho mind of the charitable woman. Huving a slight acquaintance with Sing Sing from a few previous negotiations, she entored the laundry and imide some cautious inqui ries about tho boy who had just gone out. Sing Sing oadily acknowledged that ho camo every week with a large bundle, and it was too obvious that the poor but honest and hardworking laun dress was doing an easy and profitable business by Bubletting the washing given by her customers to the much despised Chinaman against whom she had warned them so vigorously.— Chi cago News. ■■ ■ - NO VERMIN THERE. IIow a Lady In Search of a House Mystified a Landlord. SUGAR FROM BEETS. One of the Most Prosperous and Extensive of German Iiiduntrlea. The beet-sugar industry in Germany has grown to large proportions in the lost twenty years, and has been thor oughly systematized. It was intro duced in Hanover in 1864, and sugar is now produced in all the southern por tion of Hanover, tho larger part of Brunswick, the Prussian part of Sax ony, and also in a p-jft of tho kingdom of Saxony. Perhaps fr.vo-thirds of all the German beet sugar is raised in these localities. It requires very fer tile ground to raise tho sugar boot, and bone dust, phosphates, Chilian salt peter and cornpoxts are freely used. The plant is exceedingly exhausting to tho soil, and farmers, topreserve their ground, obsorve strictly the rule ol rotation in crops, only planting a field tn beets once in seven years, as a rule. Tho planting is done in May The ground is thoroughly prepared beforehand. It is plowed twice in the AifI preceding, the first plowing being to the depth of 4 inches, the second 16 or 18 inches. Then just before plant ing it is harrowed and rolled until it is as smooth and hard as a floor. The seed is drilled in rows 1 foot apart. When the young plants aro about 3 inches high they aro thinned out, leav ing three or four in a hill, 1 foot apart, and these are subsequently reduced to one in a hill. The cultivation is done mostly by plow, the crop being plowed about four times in a season, both lengthwise and across the rows. The women and children, meantime, are constantly going over the field keep ing out the weeds by hand. The gath ering season extends from Septembei 15 to February 15. Meu go ahead with long spades and loosen each hill, tho women and children following, who lift tho roots out of tho ground and pilo them together. After the tops are • removed they are either taken directly to the commu nity factory or covered deeply with earth to presorve them. The factory system is a very interesting part of the business. Factories aro established in each neighborhood, in all the suc cessful ones capitalists are rigidly ex cluded, and only farmers may hold shares. Each farmer must, for each share he holds, cultivate from three to five acres in beets. The average product is 17,000 or 18,000 pounds per acre, for which the farmer gets about 00 pfennig per 100. He is guaranteed a sure market for his crop at a fixed prico, und gets a dividend out of the profits at the end of the season. The pulp of tho beets, after the sugar is taken out, makes a first-class food for cattle, and this the farmer gets also nt a fixed price. The cultivation is sub ject to inspection by tho factory, and each inspector must be not only a first- class farmer, but a chemist. He must livo close to tho factory, nnd gets a good salary, besides a per cent, of the profits. Most of tho sugar goes to re fineries at tho largo cities. At each factory is also a government inspector, who examines each lot und fixes tho tax. Each wagon-load of beets is sampled by a chemist, and if they fall below a certain grading as to percent age of sugar, they are rejected. This is to prevent tho use of inferior com posts, which would mako large beets with little sugar in them. Ono nice feature about the business is that on all tho sugar which is exported the government returns to the farmer an amount which is more than equivalent to tho tax. This results in a very large portion of the crop being exported. Lady—You aro suro that tho houso contains no vermin?
