WANTS TO DIE,

Repeated Attempt at Suicide Frustrated.
A few weeks ago colored man named Mozee
was killed by circular saw In the wood working
establishment OF Mr. Draper, at the corner of @
and Thirteenth streets northwest. Ever since
that sad event his widow, Patsy Mozee, aged ss
years, who lives in frame shanty in the alley
running through the square bounded by Twelfb
and Thirteenth and B and q streets southWesr
has been somewhat derenged, and threatened 10
destroy her life on several occasions Last niRht
she made three attempts to escape the yigilant
watch her daughters have kepto over her and ca sh
time was prevented from going to the river which
Il was her purpose to reach with the intention of
drowning herself.
About the time she made the last attempt TO
get away frem home Lieut.. Vernon arrived In the
alley, and seeing the condition Of mind the woman
was in decided TO convey her TO the First precinct
station-house and lock her up for safe keeping
until morning, when the police authorities will
decide on what action to take 10 her case. Oneof
her daughters occupied a cell with her at tho
apoYenAmed station last night. The wOman's
derangement seemed to be caused BY her recent
bereavement and the poor prospects she has of

Mr. George Smith has written letter
to he London Telegraph concerning hls
efforts to read the Cuneiform tablets,
which were pr cured by him in Assyria

These tablets contain the Cbaldaic &C
count of the creation a. d tall of man,
and thu, At this comparatively late day
of the world, their report comes to
weaken the Mosaic history as record d
in the bible Of the same great events
Mr.. Smith, after giving an account of
the discovery of the tablets, says that
when complete they must have nun
bered nine or ten, aud that the history
as recorded on them of what occurred
"iu the heg inning" was much longer and
fuller than the corresponding report in
the book OF Genesis He continues as
follows:
The narrative Of the Assyrian tablets
commences with a description of the
period before the world was created
when there existed chaos or confusion
The desolate and empty state OF the uni

monsters are vivdly given, The chaos

Fall and winter blowing have many adj
vantages which the thoughtful farmer
will not fail to study. Freezing water in
plowed ground exerts powerful force to
disintegrate the most powerful clay and
mellow it. Frost is almost invaluable to
the wise cultivator who knows how to
make it work for his benefit. 1t hastens
chemical action in many ways; for in con-
gealing, water in minerals and organic
substances is expanded, and often destroys
tissues, as when an apple rots soon after
freezing, or potato. Ice that will burst
an iron pot does much to improve titled
land.
Flowing increases the capacity of the
soil'to hold water, making it more porous
end open; while blowing and freezing at
tain results which neither alone can secure.
1t follows from these facts that whenever
the ground is not too wet to pillow, ami one
has blowing to do, it is best to command
the force ofjack frost to aid in comminuting
all compact earth. This great mechanical
force costs the farmer nothing, if he plows
at the right time. Frost is about the only
pillow that nature uses to open the pores of
clay to admit air and the roots Of plants.
Study to utilize all natural forces, wheth-
er OF solar light and heat in our sunny eli
mate, or of hard freezing whether of win
ter, or the spring, summer or autumns rains,
which have n much greater value to
form variety of crops than is generally ap-
preciated. Titled ground holds about twice
as much water as food for plants as the
same ground will hold without plowing.--
The deeper the earth is stirred the more it
will hold and not be too wet for the crop or
working It.
