Shortly after the Paradol tragedy here there
was published in THE STAR an account of the
suicide in this city OF the Count Henri de Thou-
ard. IL now appears that short time before
the Count shot himself he insured his life i'm a
company here, who resist payment, because
they say that a letter was written by him weeks
before the insurance was effected, to MARQUIS
de ChamGrun, in vhich the Count expressed an
intention to commit suicide. The heirs of the
Count threaten suit to enforce payment. 1t is
alleged that he asked the insurance people at
the time whether the money would be paid his
wife In case he committed suicide at any time
and was told that II he should become crazy and
put an end TO his life the money would be paid,
just the same as if he should de from natural
causes.

Death of Ex-President Burnett.

The venerable and widely revereo
David G. Burnett, first President OF the
Texas Republic, died in Galveston, Oh
the sth inst, at the ripe age of eighty
three wears. He was the last of those
who had held the position of president,
and was probably the Oldest OF the orig.
inal American settlers, having arrived
in Texas in 1917. Though he held
many trying positions, and saw much
adventure, yet was his walk blameless,
and he went down to the grave with
an unblemished reputation in all the
relations of life. His funeral fully tes-
tilted the deep veneration in which he
was held. 1t was attended by the city
authorities, the various civic societies,
the judiciary and members of the bar,
rs well as a large concourse of private
citizen-N O /'icny,kae.

Destroying Stunips.

The Baltimore Leader suggests the
following method for getting rid OF
stumps without makiug Il large hole in
the ground:
awe have heard of two methods OF
getting rid Of stumps, which, rs they
appear feasible and inexpensive, we
hope some reader will try and report
upon: Bore with Il twO-inch anger to
the heart of the stump; fill the cavity
thus made with sulphuric acid, or with
crude oil of petroleum. In the first
case, the acid becomes the destructive
agent within a few months: in the lat
ter, when the stumps becomes saturated
with the oil it is fired, and will then
burn out to the last particle like Il cam

Let Horses have their Natural Gait.

1t is bad policy to move Il team out
ofits natural gait, especially with load.
1t is far better to put on Il full load, and
even Il little more, and give the horses
their own time for moving it to its place
of destination, than to make two loads
of and hurry them. THERE'S a certain
degree of rapidity Of action peculiar to
the muscle of each class ofanimals, and
indeed to each individual animal, and
if they are pressed beyond this, fatigue
follows quickly, while within this limit
great endurance is witnessed. To test
this, let man attempt to move his
arms as rapidly as bird does its wings,
or his legs in walking as rapidly as a
little boy, and see how greatly he will
become exhausted. This will convince
| him of the folly of attempting to make
his heavy draft horse move with the
rapidity of the pony olifast trotter. The
law of nature is that heavy bodies move

What it Costs to Kill Man in War.

We have some curious statistics from
a French author, writing on cotempo-
rary wars, as to what it costs to kill
man. He takes the whole expenditure
for each war, and divides that by the
number of men killed on the field or
whose death was owing directly to the
war In the Crimean war, where
many We're congregated in close quar-
tiers, he estimated that $4,000 were
killed, at the cost of $2165 per man.
Putting the deaths in our late war at
1S1 900, which is rather low estimate,
each was purchased at a cost of $1s, 725.
In the late Mexican and South Ameri-
can wars, the expense for killing a man
was $500. In the Danish war $4,000
lives were lost at an average of $4,000.
In the Austrian-P russian campaign OF
1856, which ended at Sadowa, $75, 200
was the price per death. 1t will thus
be seen that it costs this government
more to eXtinguish one life than any
of the other countries mentioned, and
that the cost of killing Il man in any OF
them would maintain several in times
of peace.
