A Terrified Negress.

Something occurred in the Kepubti-

cidedly funny. and which created at
first not little excitement A woman
entered the hall leading to the elevator,
the door of which was open, and step
ped in under the impression. as subse-
quently appeared. that it led to another
series Of steps As she entered, the
eleyator-boy. as matter OF course.
closed the door and started the eleya-
tor. As he did so and the concern be-
gan moving upward, he became in an
instant the worst startled boy in all st.
Louis. That colored woman leaped TO
her feet, glared at the walls gliding
past. and, with terrific scream, hurled
herself at the transom over the door.
Failing to get through. she plunged
about the elevator. with every breath
emitting shrieks long enough and loud
enough to wake the Seven Sleepers OF
Ephesus- People rushed from the diff
ferent floors TO the elevator way under
the impression that CHASTITY tragedy
was going on in open daylight Peo-
pie ran in from the street to be present
at, if not to prevent. the scene of blood.
1t was terrible moment. Meanwhile
the frightened elevator-boy had re-
versed his conveyance and reached the
bottom again, where he flung open the
door with an alacrity remarkable
least in an elevator-boy. The colored
woman bounded out like a shot, still
shrieking with double-loon power, and
never ceased her yells until out on the
sidewalk and at a safe distance from
the Internal machine. Then her ex-
pressions of gratitude at her remarka-

An Experiment in Pitching a Curved
Ball.

An experiment was recently tried in
Cincinnati to demonstrate that pitcher
can pitch curved balls. 1t was a sue
cess. 1t was also demonstrated in Dan
bury in the past week, but in more
simple way. A slim man was standing
on the corner Of Munson and Pine
streets when the clubs were coming in.
Seeing the ball in the hands of friend
he invited pitch. The holder of the
ball put one foot ahead of the other,
shut his lips tight together, glared with
awful ferocity at his friend, and then
twisting his arm twice from the Shout
der to the elbow, and four times from
the elbow to the wrist, let drive the
deadly missile. The slim man, who
had intensely watched this mysterious
preparation, saw the ball was coming
to his right and laid in that direction,
but was Immediately convinced that it
was turning to the left, and while strik-
ing out in that direction was astonished
to observe that it was about to plank
him in the middle of the back. and
promptly whirled around to intercept
it, but not seeing it at all in that direc-
ton, and being dreadfully excited, be
jumped about again, and just in time to
catch the bali on the bridge of his nose.

Leaks In the Barn.

Here and there NAV be seen stables
and barns with broken-windows, loose
boards, holes in the roofs, or doors and
windows that cape open, and refuse to
shut closely. Through these openings
the cold air and rain viii leak in, and
the warm ait viii leak out. Such
leaks as these are disagreeable to see,
and are uncomfortable to the occupants
of the buildings. But these are BY no
means the whole of the affair, The
worst of it is, that through these leaks
the farmers profits disappear, very 81

stand and shiter In the cool, sharp
nights, or steam under the penetrating

there disappears quantity of the fod-
der from the barn, as well as some of
the milk from the COWS, some fat from
the steers and the pigs, some wool
from the sheep, and some eggs from
the poultry. The farmer looks and
wonders. He complains that the cows
are rough, that there is no good in
the feed;" that the pigs do not fatten

no eggs, and the hens are eating their
heads off. Well. an animal cannot use
up all IFS food in keeping warm, and at
the same time make milk, fat. wool or
eggs. These are made from food, and
from only the surplus of the
food, after the bodily wants and
needs are supplied. In the Polar re-
gions, man needs Elk pounds of
fat meat, and the same of bread, for
his daily meals. while an East Indian
needs but pound OF rice for a day s
subsistence. When working in the
northern woods in the depths of win
ter, with the thermometer far below
zero for weeks at time, the lumberer
eats with relish huge humps of clear fat
pork, with his daily two pounds of
bread and liberal messes of bean soup;
food of this kind would sieken man,
were he to look at it, in the harvest.
field. All this food goes to make up
the waste of heat from the body during
the excessive cold. 1t is precisely so
in the barn, or in the pig.pen. If these
are kept so warm that water will never
freeze in them, much less food is need
ed by the animals than if the air is far
below freezing temperature and If
the temperature is comfortably warn,
less food still will be required. So
wherever stream of cold air, snow or
rain pours in upon the cattle, or when
they are miserable and uncomfortable,
a stream of wasted food pours out all
the time through the leak. Now is the
time to stop these leaks. A board here
and there good glazed window in
place of a broken shutter warm, dry
litter in place Of a foul, wet bed a
tight roof and plastered or double
boarded ceiling, all these are actually
worth more than an extra portion Of
food to an animal, because, although
when cold and chilled it eats the more,
yet it thriyes poorly, while if well
housed it will keep sleek and thrifty
upon comparatively moderate feeding.

ciusiveiy upon corn meal for seven
weeks. each animal according to its di-
gestive capacity, making an average Of
about three quarts per day for each cow.
The animals did not ruminafe, did not
