ltual adviser, and dangling in
a playful manner the end of
the fatal fdpe which already had
been fastened around his neck, it
required the most terrible exertions on
his part to keep from sinking beneath
the fearful load that was weighing on
him. The crowd of morbid curiosity
seekers, who ran in every direction
and crowded around the cavalcade Of
death as If it had been the band wagon
of some travelling meuagerie, grew
larger as the procession advanced to
the scene of death, and some old
acquaintance of the unfortunate cul

Massachusetts Snow Storm in NAV:


Those persons who will not believe
IN snow storms in May had the eyes of
their minds opened on Saturday last
May g. The rain storm that began
early In the afternoon of the ID con-
tlnued till the next morning, when
there was temporary holding up of
ram, but no clearing up of the skies.
In the afternoon the rain renewed
operations, and became severe-so Sc
we're that it took the form of hail, and
at o'clock there was a nice wintry
scene to please misanthropical folks.
Haul fell SO abundantly that ground
that had to be plowed or spaded as
sumed sheet-like appearance. Soon
the hail made way for snow, which
came down royalty; and, as there
was considerable wind, matters
bad as stormy face as ordinarily is
seen five months earlier or seven
months later; and when the sun went
down, at 7:01, the resemblance to De-
cember was all but complete. But
think of it, weather like that appropri-
ate to the winter solstice in strength
only seven weeks before the summer
solstlce The storm lasted far into the
night, but on Sunday morning the sun
rose on white-sheeted world, over
which 1T shone brilliantly. The storm
reminded one of what Hawthorne says ::
Often, ere he will give up his empire,
old Winter PUSHES tiercely back, aud
hurls snowdrift at the shrinking form
OF Spring; yet, step by step, he is
compelled to retreat northward, and
spend the summer months within the
Arctic circle"

Murder Statistics.

In 1850 there were in Ghis country
q executions and 227 murders, in a
population of %, 191, 876. In 1860 there
were SO executions and 9S9 murders, IN
"a population of 81, 443, 321, and in 1870
there were 81 executions, in a popuIa.
ton of 3S, 925, 1913. When one murder
er i'll each ten was exc .uted there were
only ten persons in a million murdered.
When we executed one murderer in
every sixteen the murders rose to
thirty-one in million, and when we
executed one murderer in every sixty
six the number of murders was fifty
three in million. These figures show
that the smaller the proportion of exc.
BUTTONS to the number of murders, the
larger the proportion CT the murders
to the population.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.


This Is one Of the largest and hardi-
est of all the breeds of turkeys. It is
raised IN the greatest perfection in
Southeastern Connecticut and Rhode
Island, a region famous for it's fine
poultry. Turkeys do remarkably well
along the sea board, and almost every
farmer remote from the villages has his
flock. 1t is not uncommon to find
f1ocks of from one to two hundred
birds, the product of about dozen
hens, under the skilful management of
poultry woman or boy. OF
course, they do some damage to
grain but this evil is counter
balanced by the enormous destruction
of insects secured. From June to Sep
TENDER they subsist mainly upon
grasshoppers, crickets, and other
insects, ranging for the most part in
pastures and woodlands. They are
fattened in October and November,
and 1T Is not uncommon for a lot of
early chicks to reach the average
weight of fourteen pounds, dressed, at
Thanksgiving or Christmas. The COM
mon run OF turkeys sent to the New
York market do not average more than
eight or nine pounds. The Narragan-
sett is very large, healthy bird, and
has been bred for size for many gener-
Rtions. Most of the birds sold in the
Boston and Providence markets under
the name of Rhode Island Turkeys, or
Extra No, ], are of this breed.
The farmers are careful in the selec-
ton of their breeding stock, taking
young gobblers that will weigh from
twenty-five to twenty-eight pounds, and
hens that will weigh from twelve to SIX
teen. Where the birds are kept over,
gobblers will sometimes dress thirty
tive to thirty-four pounds. For making
poultry for market, the Narragansetts
have no superior. The prevailing colors
are white and black, with a large patch
Of white upon the wing bow, giving the
general impression of gray bird.
They are not uniform IN the shading,
but, with sufficient painstaking, could
be bred to feather ". Cyitt in the

There are no animals more omniver-
Gus than fowls; fish, flesh, herbs, and
grains being devoured by them with
equal relish. We say equal, for though
they commonly pounce upon meat with
greater avidlty than upon grain, this is
generally because il affords a rarity,
and flock kept for while almost en-
tirely ON animal food will show the
same greed for few handfuls of corn.
Now, those animals accustomed to
use varied diet should not be confined

deed, some species which are naturally
limited to one or a few kinds of food.
Thus, cattle do well enough, although
kept month after month on grass alone,
and Il tiger Will thrive with nothing
but lean meat on its bill of fare. But
with other animals, as with the human
race, for instance, the case is different,
Tor no person can obtain the highest
efficiency when confined to one article
of food. No matter how fond we NAV
be of n particular dish, we lose relish
for 1t when allowed nothing else for a
number of consecutive meals; and the
intense craving for variety indicates as
ITS source something more than mere
appetite. 1t gives evidence of real ne
cesslty of the system which are con-
stantly varying with the changing cir
cumstances of weather, employment,
and other conditions
The fondness for variety shown by
fowls is as significant of real needs as
we have found 1T to be In ourselves. In

Preparing Tobacco Beds

A Virginia Farmers Club, discussing
the proper manner of preparing tobac-
co beds, agreed that, as matter of
economy, burning should be dispensed
with. except on such land as actually
required 1t; not that burning was of
no use, but not necessary, and by
emitting 1T much wood and labor would
be saved. The following plan, without
burning, had long been successfully
practiced by members of the club /:
Select place in the woods of original
growth, as far as possible from arabic
lands and old plant beds; grub and
clean off all the leaves and trash then
coulter the bed deep and well, turning
as little of the surface soil as possible
Sow l, 900 pounds of guano per acre,
and rake 1t in, leaving the surface of
the bed level. Sow the seed, one pipe
full to every ten square yards, tread
them III, cover well, first with stable
manure, then with brush. Would re-
SOW the first of March, and hasten the
plants if necessary by frequent appli-
cations of fertilizers. Would not select
very moist places for plant beds, rely
ing on deep cultivation for moisture
To prevent fly, would use kerosene,

Washing Wooden Clothing I.

Articles of WOODEN clothing. washed
in ordinary soap and water, not only
shrink, but acquire peculiar fatty
odor, due to the decomposition of the
soap by the Tactic and acetic acids
present IN the perspiration, and conse-
quent precipitation of the greater part
of the fat of the soap in the fibre of the
wool. According to Prof. Artus. both
of these effects can be prevented by
sleeping the articles for several hours
in a warm, moderately concentrated
solution of washing soda, then, after
the addition of some warm water, and
a few drops of ammonia, washing them
out, and rinsing them in lukewarm
water.
