A Farmers GuIiatine and how Il

James A. Moore, aged about thirty five,
living on farm near the Farmers Institute,
about fifteen miles south Of the city, com
mtted suicide at the Lake House, in Lay
fayette, Ind, last night. No cause is known
for the deed The manner in which it was
accomplished is perhaps unparalleled in
horrid ingenuity lie came to the Lake
H5use Saturday, and he was perfectng an
invention, and would probably stay week,
but would visit his home Monday, and pre-
paid his bill till that time. He called at be
machine shop OF Harding Il Sons, had
large new broadAxe and two bars Of 6-iDch
wide by | inch thick iron, III iucbes long,
which he had rivited TO the head OF the axe.
On either side fastened to these bars in the
shape of q handle to an axe. he had sys-
tenn of wooden bars $ feet long, the extreme
end of which was fastened TO cross piece,
secured to the floor by binges. The axe was
raised and Eeld to its nearly perpendicular
position by donblc cord fastened TO The
wall. Between the cords stood candle,
arranged so that when the candle burned
down 10 The cords it would burn them off,
and the axe fall Where the axe would
strike he placed a small box, open at one
side, in which, when found, was his head
with some cotton that had been chorotorm-
ed. His chin was held up from his neck by
a stick run across the box, through holes on
either SIDE, holding his he'd firmly i'll posi-
tiop. He was strapped tightly to the floor
with two straps, one around his legs. another
about his arms and breast. The straps
were both screwed to the floor, rendering it
imp, ssible TO move. 1t is supposed that he
set his axe, liz the candle, and strapped him
self to the floor, put his head into the box
with the chloroformed cotton, and was prob
ably insensbIe when the axe fell. The axe
and filings would weigh about fifty pounds,
and would fall a distance of from ten to tf

in his sermons, is told true by Augusta
Moore in the Congregationalist. The mother
Of the child who is yet living, is her friend,
and did not believe in early religious instruc-
ton. "She said Wait until the child is
able to understand something Of what you
mean before you try to get ideas of sin and

acted upon them. She did not know that

A Weird Eskimo Story.

There was once a woman who had q son
and daughter. AS the son grew up he
became hunter, and, one day, he killed
seal, from the skin Of which he proposed to
cut some thongs. But the mother wanted
the skin for some other purpose, and she aud
the boy quarreled about it. Then she went
and pronounced charm on the seal-skin,
and when he went to cut it up the end of a
thong few up, struck his eyes, and made him
blind
The winter came on they were destitute
of seal meat and had to live entirely on
mussels, for the blind hunter could 90 hunt
ing no more. But one day bear appeared
at the window and began to eat away at the
window pane, which was made Of skin. The
mother and daughter fed to the other side
of the house, but the STRIPPING asked for his
bow. His sister gave it to him he bent it,
asked her to take aim for him, aud then he
shot and killed the animal. The mother
SAID, "Thou hast missed" But the sister
whispered, "Thou hast killed the bear.
They had now plenty of meat, but the mother
refused to give the boy any, pretending that
as he had not killed the bear, there was none
and only gave him mussels. But the sister
gave him his share of bear meat in secret
Finally in the spring, flock of wild geese
restored the boys sight and he resumed hi
hunting occupations.
He, with his sister, used to 60 out on thu

A SONG OF THE COUNTRY.

Away from the roar and the rattle,
The dust aud the din Of tho town,
Who're to live is to brawl and to battle,
Till the strong treads the weak man down.
Away to the bonnie green hills
Where the sunshine sleeps on the brae,
And the heart Of the greenwood thrills
To the hymn of the bird on tho spray.
Away from the smoke and the smother,
The veil of the dun and the brown,
The push and the plash and the pother,
The wear and the waste of the town!
Away where the sky shines clear,
And the light breeze wanders at will,
And the dark pine wood mods near
To the light plumed birch on the hill.
Away from tho whirling and wheeling,
And steaming above and below,
Where the heart has no leisure for feeling
And the thought has no quiet to grow.
Away from the clear brook purls,
And the hyacinth droops in the shade,
And the plume of the fern uncurls
Its grace in the depth Of the glade.
Away to tho cottage so sweetly
Embowered meath the fringe Of the wood,
Where the wife of my bosom shall meet me
With thoughts ever kindly and good;
More dear than the wealth Of the world,
Fond mother with bairnies three,
And the plump armed babe that has curled
Its lips sweetly pouting for me.
Then away from the roar and the rattle,
The dust and the din of the town,
Where to live is to brawl and to battle
Till tho stronr frauds tha xyaak man down
Away where the green twigs nod
In the fragrant breath Of May,
And the sweet growth spreads on the sod,
And the blithe birds sing on the spray.

A Man Finds a Farm that Just Suits
Him in All But One Thing.

A Detroit real estate agent was waited
on by tall man with weed in his hat,
who said he had the cash to pay for farm,
provided he could get one to suit. The agent
smiled him to seat, and brought out his
register of descriptions He had several
farms registered on his books and no doubt
that be could suit the would.be purchaser.
the stranger remarked "What l want is
farm of about 800 acres"
"I've got it," replied the dealer.
"L'd like about six hills on it,
"Hcre she is-hcres farm with exactly
six hills on it,"
"And I'd like lake near the center"
"Here you are. Here's q farm with o
lake exactly in the center"
"And | want big natural cavern in one
of the hills"
Here you are. There's cave on this
farm which can't be beat"
The stranger drew long breath aud went
81 want a farm of 800 acres, but 100
acres must be marsh land"
"Here she is" was the ready reply.
Just 300 acres in the farm and just 100
acres Of marsh land"
81 must have a waterfall 26 feet high on
the farm" continued the stranger.
"Here you are. This farm has natural
waterfall Of % feet and | ] inches don't
suppose an inch more or less on waterfall
amounts to much"
"Well, no, butt want windmill on one
of the hills"
That was put up last year." was the
calm reply.
1t was some time before the stranger
thought Of anything else to, but finally said ;
There must be Baptist church right
across the road from the house."
Zone built there this summer, sir"
at must be brick church."
$50 it is"
"IIas it an orgau?"
sit has"
Then | can't buy the farm of you,
said the stranger rising to 60. "1f there
is anything hate it is u church organ, and
you can see for yourself that would be il
a state of perfect misery. The farm suits
me 6rst-rate, but can't 60 that organ"
Just what estimates these two men placed
upon each others yeracity as they separated

Round sorrows obon rope.
