Two Persons Crushed Under
Falling Ruins.
About two o'clock yesterday even
ing an old frame dwelling on Elliott
street, between fernando and Aliens
avenue, which was being torn down
by some negro laborers, fell unexpect-
eddy, crushing three persons under the
ruins. One of these, a little colored
girl named Martha Scott, about seven
years of age, died a few hours after
from her injuries. Martha Douglass, a
colOred woman, died about ten o'clock
last night. A little negro boy was
also injured, but will doubtless re-
cover.
The building belonged to Mrs. Har-
ris and was being torn,down by her or
der, by two colored men, Doc Branch
and Ebert Florida. They narrowly
escaped with their lives. The persons
killed and injured we're engaged in
gathering up the loose laths for fire.

inquest, the verdict being that Martha
Douglass came TO her death from
criminal negligence on the part OF the
two laborers. Branch and Florida
are both under arrest, but we're al
lowed to 90 this morning on their own

Dr.. Beale gives the following as the
simplest method of copying an object
magnified in the microscope: Arrange
the paper on piece Of stiff cardboard,
so that it may be upon the same level
as the stage upon which the object Is
situated, on the left side, If the right
eye Is the one used for observation. If
we now look steadily at the obJect
with the right eye, it will be- found
that the object appears to be thrown,
as IT were, upon the paper, and 1t may
be clearly seen by the left eye, and Its
outline be very readily traced, the
movements Of the pencil being execut-
cd by the right hand, if the observer
Is not able to use the left. BY far the
best course, however, Is for the OBJ
server to acquire the habit of ohserv-
Ing with the left eye, In which case
the paper can be placed on the right
hand of the stage, and the rig Int hand
used for drawing. With little prac-
tice the relative position and correct
size Of objects may be insure q In this
manner.

AGRICULTURE.

PASTURES FOR HOGs.-The subject Of
good pastures for hogs in summer is
becoming one of special interest to far
mers. So also the providing Of Il sup.
ply Of roots for them du ring the winter
Is beginning to receive deserved at
tention from the more progressive and
successful farmers. The continuous
and excessive use Of corn has long
been deemed wrong both In theory
and in practice. although comparative
ly few feeders over seem to have con-
sidered how 1t might be avoided. The
light, however, is breaking, and ra-
dicato change In the management of
hogs ss regards feed ny 81 ems fast 60
Ing on. This change, we doubt not,
Will result In a very marked decrease
Of disea' Q among swine. OF the grass
es most suitable for hog pastures may
be mentioned timothy, rod clover, blue
grass and orchard grass. In timber
pasture, where red clover would not
DO 30 well on account Of the shade
white clover Will he found valuable.
The best pasture is one containing
sey eral kinds; but 1T Is no easy mat
ter to keep variety Of grasses on the
same ground. The more hardy will
sooner or later crowd the others out.
We are sure more hogs are being grass
ted this year than ever before, ,and men
intere< ted III pork p1 oduction are close
ly watching the results, We shall be
glad to have readers of this paper
report regarding any experiment In
this way they have made, and give
their views on the subject OF grass for
hogs IN summer, or The a,sing OF roots
for them IN winter.

Dairy schools In Denmark,

1t may not be generally known that
Danish dairying stands the highest In
the world-perhaps on account Of their
dairy schools, which are Of tho most
effective character. They include a
farm, COWS and the best dairy appli-
ancts. The pupils are taught o,ularly
and practically. They are told what to
do and how to do in In lectures, and
then how to do 1t in the COW house and
dairy. A certificate of graduation from
a Danish dairy school carries with 1t n
weight OF evidence as to the capability
OF the bearer. In Ireland. where but
ter Of the best quality used to be made,
dairy schools are now being introduce
ed. The reason of that Is that Irish
butter no longer stands first in tho
market. American creamery butter Ia
displacing it from its former position,
and schools are found necessary to
raise the quality ofIrish butter by ma
king the dairymcn and dairymaids
more skilful.

ONE Of the rarest articles Of daily
uso is pure olive Oil, and many think
themselves fortunate to obtain oil
which Is In part made from the
olives. Add to this fact the difficulty
of distinguishing one vegetable oil
from another by chemical test, cspeci-
ally Of recognizing them when mixed,
and no wonder the importers of olive
oil soon accumulate q competency.
The test Is exceedingly simple, and
can be performed by any one possess
ing a good chemical thermometer.
bout q teaspoonful Of oil is put In a
tcst tube, and a Thermometer suspend
ed in the oil, which is now to be heat
ed to 250 deg. G. (472 deg. Fahr.) For
a comparison Il second test tube Of
pure oil may be treated IN like man
ner. Pure olive oil, when heated,
grows rather lighter in color, but
most other oils. like cotton seed, pea
nut oil, ETC., grow darker. The lat
ter, also, evolve Il penetrating and dis
agreeable odOr, but olive oil has a
pleasant smell not unlike strawber-
ries. This test, devised by Mcrz. Is at
