A Practical Test with Morphine.

ANN ARBoR, Mich, October 80
Howard H. Williams, member Of the
Junior Class Of the Medical Department
of the University, has been observed to
be low.spirited for the past two weeks,
and his fello students and friends have
attributed his condition and his tendency
to discuss the action of poisons upon the
system and the question of suicide to his
disappointment in not receiving expect
ed remittances. He occupied room
alone, and this morning, his door being
locked, it was broker open and he was
found dead in his bec. An empty bottle,
which had contained morphine, indicated
the agent he had selected for his suicidal
purpose, an indication confirmed by the
autopsy held at the inquest Williams
was III, years old, son of physician at
Muskegon, and was engaged to young
lady OF this city, TO whom rumor says
be was to have been married to-day.

The Cause Of Uneveuness In Wool.

><esS
The Portland Oregonian, in referring
to the evil OF uneven wool, which so
often causes much loss to the producer,
as wool of this kind can only be sold at
extremely low figures, gives the follow
ing as the explanation Of the trouble:
"If sheep are allowed to get into bad
condition-are neglected, underfed, or
not sheltered properly-lhe pores will
contract and the wool that issues will be
of very foe fibre. AS soon as the ami
NAL RECEIVERS a vigorous condition the
pores again open, and long and stron-
ger fibre grows. The wool is thus weak
er in one place than in places at each
side of it, and breaks at the weak places

unevenness more easily and surely than

Fox hunting with hounds is favorite
amusement among some Of the people
but the.method is rather novel. The hunt
is conducted by night, and the darker the
night the better. A fire is kindled in the
center of the field of operations which is
supposed to attract the attention Of the
foxes. The hunters who follow the
hounds, part on horseback and part on
foot, determine the state ofthe game and
the successful dogs altogether by the
sense Of hearing The effort is not to
destroy the fox and great offense would
be given by any one who should MAIN or
destroy the'animal, or even take him alive.
Evidently these hunters hold that there
is more happiness in pursuit than posses
