4 Shocking Suicide.
\ WOMAN CUTS HER THROAT FROM EAR
TO EAR.

Wednesday evening just after the
i'ct"ry whistle blew for quitting time,
our quiet town was thrown into hich
pitch OF excitement by the report that
Mrs Robert buchanan, the wife of
factory employee, had ended her exis
tcncc by cutting her throat from ear to
ear with razor. Subsequent examina
ton proved the report to be horribly
true, aud those who. llastencd to the
scene found the unfortunate LADY, wal
terins in her own blood. She had been
sick some TWO or thrcc weeks with
pneumonia, during which time NOR
phlnc had been given her to alleviate
her pain and to satisfy the appetite she
had previously formed tor it, and at
one time was considered out Of danger,
although she was not as we'll Oh tn,
day Other death, as she had been a few
days previous, and on account of her
peculiarly nervous and despondent tenn
pcrmcnt and despite tho ASSERTIONS of
the doctor, her husbands AMI friends
that she would live, she had become
hrmly impressed with the idea that sho
would never get well.
About four O'clock she asked for two
cigar boxes which were in the room
and they were handed her without hesi
tation or thought of their deadly CON
tents. She apparently satisfied herself
with their possession, and when her
husband came home from his work ba
placed the M in their former position
Just as the family were preparing to
seat themselves at the supper table, she
requested that the door between the
dining room and her bed room be clos
ed, complaining of the heat, which was
promptly done, and as one of the ladies'
who were attending to the household
duties was about seating herself at the
table she fcards strange, gurglinc
noise, which caused her to turn and
open :hc door, little dreaming of the
blood curdling sight that would meet
her sight. There lay Mrs. Buchanan

before he arrived she had brcathcd her

ltcr the deed, her actions of the
proceeding twenty four hours were easi
ly interpreted, and now, for the first
time, they were made aware Of tho fact
that she had extracted razor from one
ofthc cigar boxes, and concealed it un
til the room was vacated, when she
made the fatal stroke. The instrument
did its work we'll, and in twenty min
utcs she was corpse.

POETRY.



Don't you hear the children coming,
Coming into school?
Don't you hear the master drumming,
On the window with his ruler
Master drumming, children coming
Into school.
Tip-toc figures reach the catch,
Tiny fingers click the latch;
Curly-headed girls throng in,
Iily-free from toll and sin;
Breezy boys bolt In together,
Bringing breaths of winter weather.
bringing baskets Indian-checked,
Dinners In them sadly wrecked,
Ruddy-handed mittens of,
Soldiers rush from the MalakoIf--
Built of snow and marble-white,
Bastions shining in the light.
Naked with many di / and dot
or the ice-cold cannon shot.
Hear the last assaulting shout
See The gamers rally out
Charge upon the battered door
School is called. and battle DER!

How 10 MAKE USE or PAPER. Few house,
keepers are aware Of the many uses to which
waste paper may be put. After a stove has
been blackened, it eau be kept looking very
well for long time by rubbing 1t with paper
every morning. Rubbing with paper is q
much nicer way Of keeping tho outside Of
tea-kettle, cofiee-pot or teapot bright and
clean than the old way Of washing it in suds.
Rubbing them with paper is also the best
way Of polishing knives and tinwafe after
securing them. If little soap be held on the
paper in rubbing tinware and spoons, they
shine like new silver. For polishing mirrors;
windows, lamp chimueys, Sc,, paper Is better
than dry cloth. Preserves and pickles keep
much better if brown paper instead of cloth
is tied over the jar. Canned fruit is not apt
to mould if piece Of writing piper, cut to fit
each can, is laid directly upon the fruit. Pa
per is much better to put under carpet than
straw. 1t is thinner, warmer, and makes
less noise when ono walks over it. Two thick4l
nesses Of paper placed between the other
covering on bed are as warm as quilt. IL
| it is necessary to step upon chair, always
| lay paper upon it, and thus save the paint
and woodwork from damage.
