Murder.-An atrocious murder was com
mitted at a point short distance from Brooks
station, on Saturday last
The victims are Mr.. Francis Fishers little
niece and nephew, the former named Lizzie
aged six years, and the latter, Joe, three
| years old, and the statement as made to the
police by Fisher is as follows: He left home
in company with his wife about II O'Clock
Saturday morning with load of vegetables
to sell at Savage market, Washington city
leaving his niece and nephew at home. They
were all alone with the exception that a
family of colored people occupied house
about two hundred yards away, and gang
OF men were at work in cornfield near by.
Several dogs were also left at the farm as an
additional protection. Mr.. Fisher left his
produce at the market, and in the afternoon
started on his return to his home to get an
other load of vegetables. He reached his
farm about A o'clock and was surprised on
gaining the front gate rot to to see Joe and
Lizzie. Usually they met him at the gate
and rode to the house with him, but on this
occasion they were nowhere TO be found.
He called them but received no answer. He
drove down the lane and around the barn,
where he espled the children lying on the
grass beside each other, as he supposed, fast
asleep. They were motionless under the
trees near the woodpile. He concluded to
dispose of his team before waking them,
and, having done so, he went toward the
children and found them dead.
LizZie's skull was crushed and the brains
oozed from a frightful wound, while there
was a punctured hole in Joe's forehead
The girl lay with her head toward the
house, and the boys head almost touched
her feet. His arm was thrown across his
face, and there was II peaceful expression
worn by each of the children, us though
their death had been instantaneous. Mr..
Fisher at once gave an alarm, and the men
working in the field came to his aid and
helped to remove the bodies of the children
TO the house. Sergeant Slattery and several
officers of the Washington police force rode
out 10 the farm, which Is ia the District of
Columbia, about three and a-half miles from
Washington, and near the Maryland line
and made an examination of the scene,
where the murder was committed. They
questioned the farm hands and ascertained
that Christina Taylor, an old negress about
sixty years of age had been seen coming
from the direction OF the place where the
children were found between and O'Clock.
The old woman said she went 10 the house
of Mr.. Fisher to take washboard, but saw
nothing of the children. When she re-
turned To her homo she saw man-sbe
could't ascertain whether he was white or
colored-come from the direction of the
house. The old woman and her daughter
were promptly arrested and carried to Wash
ington. Suspicion is strong against them.
The murdered children's mother is Mrs.
Lena Fisher, widow, staying with friends
in South Washington.
A coroners jury was cmpanneled on Sat
urClay evening and after examining several
witnesses adjourned 10 Wednesday when the
evidence was considered sufficient 10 hold
Chrstiana Taylor, the old negro woman, in
custody.

Anatomical Analysis-The stomach.


The stomach is the best friend of
man, but he uses it as if it was his worst
enemy.
It Is supposed to hold about three
pints, but if man can't put four quarts
in it he feels disappointed and =" hun
Cry"
When a man gets hold of anything he
don't know what to do with he puts 1t in
his stomach and takes all the risks. And
he never learns any better, though he
suffers the torments of the unblest ever
after.
1t is generally considered that the
stomach is a hopper into which anything
can be thrown, with the assurance that
the digestive machinery, will take care
of it. This is not so. Fried shlngle
nails and fricassed hair pins will not as
simulate with the human system any
easier than leathery hapjacks or lobster
salad and milk.
1t is erroneous to suppose that when
the stomach is packed with solid food OF
seventeen different varieties it Is capable
of holding several quarts of different
sorts of liquid. 1t viii fail to make
comfortable feeling swill tub of itself
1.-THE older a stomach grows the
stronger it is, is an error A ten-year-
OA4 HNO4lAtiIAA VIII fSOt a-NeN1 'AN+-
apples and peanuts, shells and all, while
a forty-year-old stomach VIII simply get
away with itself and all that's in 1t.
1t is useless to attempt to pave the IN
side of the stomach with conglomerate.
Nothing but the best Belgian pavement
should be used, and that should be thor
oughly masticated. You can eat Belgian
just as safely as you can thousand
things you do eat.
In making a beer vat of your stomach,
under the impression that you will thus
become q walking brewery you Will find
out your mistake. You Will merely put
on a bay window which viii be expen-
sive to live up to.
A sea voyage is an excellent revelation
of the capacity of the stomach. There
is no danger of losing it altogether IN
the process, though you frequently feel
the fastenings break. A few hours on
land will bring it to ifs ''hungry."
The first thing a man does when his
stomach feels bad is to put some medl-
cine in it to make it feel worse. He is
looking ahead for the happy contrast
when it will possibly feel better.
The more medicine a man puts into
his stomach the more that organ seems
to crave, and the more money the patent
medicine man gets to circulate his III
looking portrait in the newspapers.
Occasionally n stomach is Obliged to
go empty. If those who overfeed them
selves were obliged to fill these empty
stomachs with the surplus they eat, and
don't need, there would be no starvation
in these parts.
Don't mistake your stomach for re-
ceptacle of everything that tastes good,
but use it nationally, treat it to gentle
doses of strength giving, nutritious food,
moderate quantities of milk drink, ex-
hilarating exercise, little fresh air oc-
casionally, and you viii reach that
happy elevation of good health and
spirits which will render you totally
oblivious of the fact that you have a
stomach at all. A man who Is thoroughly
aware of the presence of his stomach Is
not well.-NeIU HaUen Re9ister.

Fashionable Dress.

If the weather be very cold, a thin
muslin gown or frock Is most advisable,
because it agrees with the season, bein z
perfectly cool The neck, arms, and
particularly the elbows bare, in order
that they may be agreeably painted and
mottled by Mr.. John Frost, nosepainter
general, of the color of CASTLE soap.
Shoes of kid, the thinnest that can pos
sibly be procured-as they tend to pro-
mote colds. and make a lady look inter-
esting. The gown should be bordere0
about three inches deep with the most
fashionable colored mud that can be
found; the ladies permitted to hold up
their trains, after they have swept two
or three streets. The shawl scarlet,
crimson, orange or any other combust-
ible color, thrown over one sholder. like
an Indian blanket, with one end drag,
ging on the ground.
When the ladies do not go abroad of n
morning. the usual chimney corner dress
is a dotted, striped or cross barred gown
a yellowish, smokish-colored shawl, and
the hair curiously ornamented with lit;
tie bits of newspaper, or pieces of let
ter from dear friend. This is called
the q Cinderella dress" For full dress
take of spider-net, Grape, satin, gimp,
whalebone, lace, ribbons, and artificial
flowers, as much as will rig out the con-
gregation of a village church to these
add as many spangles, beads and gew-
gaws as would be sufficient to turn the
heads of all the fashionable fair ones of
Nootka Sound. Let Mrs. Toole or Mad
anne Bouchard patch all these articles
together, one upon another, dash them
plentifully over with stars, bugles and
tinsel, and they will altogether form
dress, which, if hung upon lady's back.
cannot fail of supplying the place of
beauty, youth and grace, and of re-
minding the spectator of that celebrated
region of finery called rag fair Wash

Swearin, on on Politics.

The mar. .whehas once beer addicted
to politics finds it hard to reform and
break the fetters that bind him. He
makes a resolve, in his mind, that never
again Will he touch the fatal polite, and
he goes along for months without think
ing of indulging, but in an unguarded
moment, after the campaign opens, he
thinks of something that can be played
on the opposition, and he takes the first
step, and then he goes down, until elec-
ton day he is peddling tickets like an
old stager, at night he is around hearing
the returns, at midnight he is whoOplng
it up with the boys, and at three a. m.
he goes up stairs at home on all fours,
his hat overwhelmed by a good majority,
his head as uncertain and waverlng as
the chances of his party, his tongue as
thick as opposition votes, and his breath
as strong as the atmosphere IN malt
house. He has lied to his wife about
having TO go TO the lodge TO give some
high degrees to some Masons from the
country, and when she smells his breath
she knows how high the degrees are, ana
1t all comes over her IN a second-not the
breath, but the idea-that he has fallen
from his high estate and again sunken IN
the mIre of politics. After election, ana
MS party Is Deat6U, dS uSuti, AiC o"SoAS
upon a stack of brick, in his hat, that he
VIII touch not, taste not, handle not, the
Intoxicating and demoralizing polite,
but he lies, and he knows it. What the
country wants is society for reforming
men who are addicted to politics, soci-
ETY. where he can go when he feels the
old appetite coming on, and have his
thoughts turned to a different channel.
He is weak, and he wants his brothers
and sisters to take him by the hand, par
ticularly the sisters, and brace him up,
and make him strong against the enemy.
When he feels like taking hand in
campaign, where he knows that he will
surely fall, and come out with the smell
of kerosene and beer on his garments,
and cheese on his breath, he wants to
feel the strong arm of the society around
his waist, and hear the members singing
songs of Zion instead of nurrahing for
somebody for Justice of the peace. But
if such society were formed for the
reformation of the politicians, Just about
the time it got the converts strong
enough to walk alone, the confounded
society would nominate a ticket of its
own and go into the campaign making
more noise than all the other political
parties, and the reformed politicians
would find that they had jumped out of
the frying pan into the fire. Twas ever
thus from childhood S hour. Peck'S .Sun.

BigIaIlstones.


Hailstones y4 fgreatly in size. In
ordinary storms hey vary from fortv-
six to 100 grains. II ma : be interest;no

HoIinshed (who is. however a rersist.
ent wondermonger) says that hailstones
as large as eggs fell in England in fine.
and that in the twentieth wear Of that by
good King Alexander III. of. Scotland
1I269) there arpse q great winds. with
storms of such i.nmeasurable haiIstones
that many town. were thrown down" BY
their violence, and fires spread through
out the kingdom, " burning up steeples
with such force Of fire that the bells
were in divers paces melted. Those of
the Abbey Of Aberbrothock (AYbroath)
were thus Destroyed. In 1889, while
Edward + M marghing near Char
tres. in i. Ais lsfmy was SO much

Mezeray relates that when Louis XII. of
France made war against the Pope and
carried his army into Italy 15l0) blush
hailstones descended during a thunder
storm which weighed about 100 poundsi
On June 81, 1A5, there fell IN Lanca-
shire " "hailstones as big as mems fists,
which had diverse prints in them, some
like gunholes. " On the 7th of June,
1872, in Northmptonshire, some We're
found which measured six inches in cir
cumference: and on the 2Sth of April,
1897, storm passed over Cheshire and
Lancashire, during which hailstones
weighing eight ounces and measuring
nine inches In circumference fell. Hert-
fordshire, May /, same year, was visited
by hailstorIn which killed several per-
sons. The stores were fourteen inches
in circumference. NJ. Parent relates
that hailstones as big as a mans fist and
weighing from nine and one-half to
twelve and thlee-fourths ounces fell IN
lie Perche ON May Is, 1903. Passing
over many recorded and perhaps doubt
full instances such as the above, we learn
that during hailstorm at Constanti-
nople on Oct. 3, 1881, there fell stones
weighing more than one pound. Simi-
lar stones are said to have been picked
up in May, 1871, at Palestrina, Italy.
Blocks of ice fell at Cazorta, in Spain, on
June 5, which weighed four and one
half pounds; and in the South of France,
during the latter part of October, 1874,
some fell which weighed eleven pounds.
After a hailsDrm on May s, 1902, in
Hungary, piece of ice was found which
measured more than three feet, both IN
length and in width, with thickness of
two and quarter feet. To conclude
this list, hailstne is said to have fallen
in the reign of Tppoo Saib which was the
size of an eleph.at. 1t IS possible that
many of those so-called gigantic hail
stones were simply masses of ice com
posed of a collection of hailstones ag-
glomerated together in some hollow
space into which they had fallen, and
where they may have remained for some
time after the general fall of hailstones
had melted ard disappeared. Cham
