sisted of four cars and locomotive, and it
was the intention to uncouple the cars
while i'll rapid motion, and switch them to
one track while the locomotive proceeded on
ahead, as is the usual custom in rapid
switching. When near the Montgomery
avenue crossing the engineer gave the signal
to uncouple, and Boyd stopped forward and
drew out the pin, but as he did so he
lost his foothold and fell in front of
the moving cars the entire number pass
ing over his body, which lay a5hwart
the rails. No one witnessed the accident

over his body, the mangled corpse was
discovered. The effect was horrible the
first wheels had passed diagonaIly over his
breast, starting near the shoulder. and in their
progress had cut the trunk i'll twain: the re
manning wheels crushed and tore the legs
into shapeless mass, and the stomach and
bowels prOtruded from their cavities the IN

sight was slckening, the track being strewn
with blood entrals and flakes of flesh for
some distance

Agricultural Items.

For Worms IN HoGs.-Give a tea
spoonful of copperas to each six months
or over give half the dose to younger
animals. Give by mixing with mash
made Of chopped grain.
Put the hen in a warm place, say
about 70 degrees, with plenty of sun
shine; feed her with corn and food con
tanning a good supply of phosphate of
lime, and you have the hen in a place
where she can't help laying.
Ground for early peas is best manur-
ed in the fall. If that has not been done,
pillow in the manure early, letting the
ground warm a day or two, then harrow
and let it have a day or two more Of sun
in which to warm up. By this practice
you will get peas earlier than if you put
the seed into the cold ground as soon as
plowed.
A French paper relates the following
experiment A COW was MIXED three
times a day for eleven days, and yielded
10 quarts of milk. With two milkings
daily she gave only LAG quarts in the
same number of days. Analyses, more
over, showed that the milk in the first
case was richer in butter %globules by
more han o%ne-seventh than in the
second case.

What Wife Means.

Says Ruskin "What do you think
the beautiful word wife comes from ?
1t is the great word in which the Eng
fish and Latin languages conquered the
French and Greek. l hope the French
will some day get a word for it instead
of femme, But what do you think it
comes from ? The great value of the
Saxon words is that they mean seme-
thing. Wife means 'weaverP You
must either be housewives or house
moths, remember that. In the deep
sense, you must either weave mems for
tunes and embroider them, or feed upon
and bring them to decay. Wherever a
true wife comesa home is always around
her. The stars may be over her head,
the glow-worm in the nights cold grass
may be the fire at her feet, but home is
where she is, and for q noble woman it
stretches far around her, better than
houses ceiled with cedar or painted with
vermillion-shedding its quiet light for
those who else are homeless. This, l
believe, is the woman's true place and
power"

"high," which is "low," too. If he keeps
straight he is oftentimes "aush." He

A Brave Woman,

An interesting story is told of young
wife who went West with her husband,
and there encountered all sorts of "hard
luck" Crops failed, cattle died, the
young farmer sickened. During all this
time the young wife never grew dis
couraged, but did all in her power to
keep her husband from getting "the
blues" But one morning the boy, who
did the chores, came in and said he
could not find the old COW on the farm.
So our heroine set out with the boy in
search of the lost animal, and finally
found her where she had fallen, over
between two large logs--dead. The
young woman was at last discouraged,
and for a time would not go back with
the bad news to her husband, but finally
overcame her own feelings, went mer-
rily to the house and, upon entering,
said ''Well, Rollin, our luck has
changed" GLOW is that ?" he anxiously
inquired. "Why," said she, ''the old
COW is dead; you can skin her, sell the
hide, and we will have some money"
And it proved to be true, for their luck
did change from that day. They sold
out their interest in the farm and bought
another one, began over, and to-day are
well-to-do people. Does not this teach
a lesson to repining wives, and show
what power there is in a hopeful spirit ?

The Ear.

The internal ear, says the Youths
Companion, is IN exceedingly delicate
and complicated organ, and is therefore
specially susceptible to disturbing influ-
ences. Hence ear-aches assesses of
the ear th%ickening of the drum, rem
dering one hard Of hearing; bursting of
the drum, causing deafness and gather
ings within the ear of solid plugs of
wax. The close connection of the ear
with the brain very often results in an
extension of an Inflammation from the
former to the latter.
Ear troubles begin early. The child
is inclined to put small things into it
such as beans, coffee-kernels, pebbles,
etc. These, if they have been unnotic-
ed, i%rritate and infame and may become
sources of most serious mischief. Older
persons are hardly wiser who pick their
ears with pins.
The ear should be let alone-eXcept
in cases when removed by an expert
physician. It is needed where it is, to
prevent the ingress of small insects and
dust. 1t commonly takes care of itself.
The bather too often does himself
serious mischief by allowing water to
enter the ear. Thousands of bad cases
occur yearly from this cause. The
trouble is increased if the water is salt,
as its absorption leaves hard, irritating
crystals behind. One should never
dive; and the onset of the surf should
be received at the back.
In winter, the steady blowing of a
strong current of air upon the ear is
dangerous. The cold air penetrates to
the blood-warm interior, congesting and
inhaming it. 1t is not always easy to
avoid such q current, and it would be
well, when likely TO be exposed, to wear
in the external ear q pledget Of cotton.
A little care may q V from excruciating
pain and permanent harm.

A Hint for Tired Housekeepers.

l believe in systematic housekeeping
when not carried to excess. 1t is very
foolish to do work when you are not
able, because it is the regular day for it.
When a person is not well, it is best to
do as you can, not as you would like. l
am never very well, but still manage to
get through with all my work. When l
do not feel able to do all my washing in
n day, let me tell you how I manage.
l commence in the afternoon, Il know
plenty of people will laugh, but W
mind.) / clean all up in the morning,
as carefully as though 1 we're going to
sewing instead Of washing. Then, after
dinner is all cleared away, ! wash all the
white clothes and have them ready to
hang up in the morning. Then / have
the night to rest in. Let some poor
tired woman tryit, and see If it is not
better than doing all in one day, and
then be sick two or three days after

Chocolate.

For those who wish to keep the i'm
agination fresh and vigorous, chocolate
is the beverage of beverages. However
copiously you have lunched, a cup Of
chocolate Immediately afterward will
produce digestion three hours after, and
prepare the way for o good dinner. 1t
is recommended to every one who de-
votes to brain-work the hours he should
pass in bed; to every wit who finds he
has become suddenly dull to all who
find the air damp, the time long, and
the atmosphere insupportable and,
above all, to those who, tormented with
q fixed idea, have lost their freedom Of
thought. 10 make chocolate (t must
never be cut with a knife) an ounce and
q half is requisite for q cup. Dissolve
it gradually in hot water, stirring it the
while with o wooden spoon let it boil
for a quarter Of an hour, and serve it hot
with milk or without, according to
taste.

A Terrible Double Tragedy.

Neapolitan society has lately been
much exercised by a terrible "tragedy
in high life" For some time past the
Countess del Cigno, a lady of extraordi-
nary beauty, had been VIGOROUSLY at
odds with her husband, a gentleman to
whom she had, at the urgent instance of
her family, most unwillingly given her
hand, her heart having been already
bestowed upon a young Austrian artist,
who quilted Europe for America on the
day of her marriage, only returning
thence to Naples a few weeks ago. He
became, it would appear, a frequent
guest at the Countess evening recep-
tions-a fact which reached the ears of
Count del Cigno at his club, where he
spent the greater part of his time, by
night as well as by day. One evening,
just as the painter was issuing from the
doorway of the Palazzo del Cigno, the
Count drove up to the chief entrance,
and while alighting from his carriage,
noticed his wife on the first floor balco-
ny, waving her hand in farewell to her
old lover as he descended the stone
steps leading to the street. Without a
moments hesitation the Count drew a
stiletto from the breast pocket of his
coat and buried it to the hilt in the
bosom of his rival, who fell, MORALLY
wounded, to the ground. As Del Cigno
was getting into his carriage, however,
a bullet from the Austrian's revolver,
fired, as it were, at the point of death,
passed through his head, killing him on
the spot. Five minutes later the artist
also breathed his last. This horrible
encounter took place under the very
eyes of the Countess, upon whom the
spectacle of her husbands and lovers
violent death inflicted SO overwhelming
a shock hat she became a ravipg mani
&C, and is now under restraint in a luna
tic asylum near Naples.-London TeIe-

FARM, GARDEN, AND HOUSEHOLD.


Domestic Hints
In making a crust of any kind, do not
melt the lard in flour. Melting will in
iure the crust.
Water used in mixing bread must be
tepid. If it is too hot, the loaf will be
full of great holes.
To Boil POTATOES SUCCESSFULLY
When the skin breaks, pour off the water
and let them finish cooking in their own
steam.
Steel knives may be saved from rust
ing by being rubbed with mutton tallow,
wrapped in paper, and put into a baize-
lined chest.
To REMOVE GREASE STAINS FROM
WooD. Spread some starch powder over
the grease spots, and then go over it
with a hot f~at-iron till you have drawn
the grease; then scrape with a glass or
a proper scraper, and repeat the starch
powder and hot iron. Ammonia liquor
may be used as a finish, if the starch
does not take all the grease out.
HARMLESS FACE PowDERs-Rice DOW
der, though expensive, is warranted per-
fectly harmless. Refined chalk is the
safest thing to use, and costs far less
than if put up under some other name
and sold in boxes. Cascarilla powder is
much used by Cuban ladies, and is con
sidered harmless. Wash the face with
thick suds from glycerine soap, and,
when dry, dust on the powder with a
puff or piece of chamois skin.
HAIR INvIGoRAToR.-A wash to stimu-
late the growth Of hair in case of bald
ness is made from equal parts of the
tincture Of sulphate of quinine-ive
grains in an ounce of alcohol. For
those who will use hair oil, pure sperm
oil of the very finest quality is the best.
This must be procured in proper fresh
ness and cannot fail being a powerful
hair invigorator,

he backed into a corner, licking his lips
with his tongue. He was exceedingly
fond of sweet things, and particularly Of
strong drinks if they were sweetened.
For a drink of sweetened whiskey he
would attempt anything. At one time
he was promised a glass OF whiskey and
sugar if he would whip General Jeor,
who, in full feather, was mastering the
county militia, according to the old
manner of doing such things annually.
To obtain the promised glass, Bill steal.
thily came up behind him, took him by
the hair Of the head and bore him into
the dust on the street. Finding him
self thus assailed, General Joor drew his
sword and pierced Bill through the
thigh. From this wound he never fairly
recovered. He was very agile and fast
of foot. He could climb a tree with
surprising quickness, swim and manage
a horse with ~dexterity. 1t was with
him as with a child. From the time of
his capture he knew not right from
wrong actions until he was taught, and
until his intellect expanded and he be-
gan to comprehend his true position in
society he sorrowed over the reflection.
He sickened and died in New Orleans in
the year 1929, while in charge of a gen.
tleman who undertook to exhibit him
for money.-Sm Francisco Examiner.
