Death Of a Baby Outang.

Kittie, the sseyen-months' old orang-
outahg of the museum in Arch street,
died at an early hour yesterday morn
inc. She had been ailiag almost since
she arrived in the city, a week ago.
Her maternal parent, seeing that she
was sick, tried to cure her by beating
Ter about the head and swinging her
around the cage to such an extern that
they had to be separated. She and
.Tommy'' were therefore put in a
compartment by themselves, but the
devoted brother, with almost human
sagacity, discovered very soon that she
was defenseless, and spent his vacation
slapping her face and hitting her with
a stick that he wrenched from board.
When he tired of this he would stand
her on her head and hold her by the
heels, q proceeding that did not con-
duce to her good health. Finally she
was placed in small box by herself,
where she lay in a little bed looking
very miserable. A physician visited
her daily, administering nauseous
drugs, which she swallowed with an
cello scompos,lre. Her diet consisted
almost entirely of beef tea. Orang-
foutangs in this country usually die
sooner or later of consumption, and
signs Of that disease were looked for,
but not found.
When Kittie had breathed her last,
the remains were taken to the jefferson
Medical College and handed over to
Professor Henry G. Chapman for post
mortem examination. He discovered
quite deep abscess on the side and
under the surface of the tongue, which
had caused death. The heart and lungs
were perfectly healthy, resembling
those 3 Of a child, as did the brain,
which was large and well developed.
It is said that Kitty got the abscess on
her tongue through trying to talk. -

A Nautical Curiosity.

John Crankshaw, Jr., an ingenious
young man of Frankfort, has construct
ed curious little canoe with heavy
muslin and barrel hoops. The craft is
fourteen feet long and twenty inches
wide in the center. The stem and stern
posts are sawed out of pine knee knots,
and the lateral slips over which the
ribs are fastened are also of pine. The
rest of the little boat is constructed en-
t1rely of muslin and ordinary flour bar
rel hoops, the latter being one-quarter
of an inch apart and fastened to the
lateral slips, which extend from stem
to stern. Over this skeleton the mus
lin, having been thoroughly soaked in
oil, is stretched Two water tight COM
partments are made fore and aft, by
stretching the oil soaked muslin entire
ly over the canoe, thus making deck
which can not be penetrated BY the wa
ter. The paddler's place contains a
small seat, and space enough to clear
the occupants legs aud feet. A light
board floor keeps the latter from knock
ing holes in the craft muslin bottom.
When the canoe had been completed.
hut not painted, it weighed only six
teen pounds, but has since been given

now weighs thirty eight pounds. 1t has
been successfully put to a test, and its
owner, with his double-bl paddle,
uses it almost every day on the river

An Indian Doctor Murders His White Wife

reer.
QUINCY, ILL.,, Oct. s.
One Of the most sickening tragedies ever
enacted here took place just before noon to-
day on Twelfth street, north Of Vermont.
For several years a full-blooded Indian,
who called himself DR.. 10. Rodgers, and
protested to cure diseases by Indian meth
DDS, has been living in this city with a
white woman as his wife. They came here
from Galesburg, and the Doctor rented
rooms, and lived mostly among the colored
people, ekeing out a precarious existence
by his incantations and sale of roots. His
wife is said to have been from Iowa, and is
respectfully connected, having on several
occasions lately stated that she intended to
visit her parents soon. The Indian seemed
very jealous of her, and numerous quarrels
resulted. Altogether the woman had a
hard time of it, and some months ago tried
to drown herself in the Mississippi, but was
rescued by the engineer of the w later works
Company. To-day DR.. 10 settled every
thing by going behind his wife at the time
mentioned while she was before the kettle
and putting bullet through hhr head, and
then with the Same revolver putting one
through his own head. Death was inssAa.

HOME. FARM AND GARDEN.

The Germantown Telegraph be.
lieves early autumn to ..be the proper
time to trim fruit trees.
The leaves of all grape vines that
are afflicted with mildeW should be
burned as soon as they fall.
Pear trees come into bearing after
planting sooner than apple trees, and
annual crops are more certain with the
usual treatment that both crops get.
Generally, too, pears bring the best
prices.-Detroit Post.

whites of three eggs. If this seems

Store away few bushels of dry
road dust for the hens to dust in next
winter. Give them enough of it and
have it entirely dry, so they can make
the dust fly all through the hen-house
and cover the roosts and fill the cracks,
and the lice must move out. This does
not sound quite so nice as soapsuds,
carbolic acid, kerosene, perfect cleanli-
ness, etc., but it is more practical and
more likely to be done on farm where
washing hen-roosts is not the main bus
mess. Dust is also good to sprinkle on
young stock, but should be carded and
brushed out of the hair after the YER
min have eft.-1ii7ror and Farmer.
