Killed Himself for the Benefit Of His
Creditors.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, June Is.
The body of Robert Cunningham, the New
York merchant, whose suicide was disputed,
and whose policies the insurance companies
announced they would not pay without
positive proof of death, was found Friday
floating in Buttermilk Channel. When
sighted by two watermen only the head
was found in sight, bar of lead having
been securely fastened to the vest by piece
of wire. Its weight was about ten pounds.
This left no doubt about the intent of sui
eide, and overthrow the police theory that
there had been no death at all, but only an
attempt to swindle the insurance companies.
The policies could however, have done him
no good even had he remained alive, since
they had already been transferred to credit
Ors who have presented them for pay
ment. That he had contemplated sui
eide for several months is probable
since he had paid two premiums on policy
of $4,000 and one on policy of SIS, 900.
Both risks were taken by the Mutual Life.
The condition of his business and home re-
lations does not even yet show any reason
why he should have taken his life, and the
insurance people say that if he proves to
have been financially embarrassed, il will be
the first time that man was ever Known to
kill himself in order to pay his debts.

The Use Of Money by Children.

Children should be taught the use OF
money while under their parents care
and authority. A knowledge of its just
value as medium of procuring neces
saries and luxuries is not intuitive i'm n
child. and early training i'm that respect
is OF as great Importance as any other
branch of education.
/ know of no better way than to al
low young people stated sum TO be
devoted TO personal. expenses, and teach
them to live within that amount. OF
course this applies to families that are
in comfortable circumstances, and are
able to have what is needful for their
wants.
A girl who is trustworthy and ODE.
dent should be allowed to have money
of her own under proper restrictions,
and she will take great satisfaction in
keeping an account of her expenditures
in order to make both ends meet, and
in planning how to make the very most
of her money. Mistakes will sometimes
be made, but is not that often the case
with persons of maturer Judgment? and
it only goes to prove that the training
is necessary.
Over-yunning the allowance or get
ting into debt should not be allowed.
even though on account of miscalcula-
ton or error in judgment; it should in
volye self-denial to keep within the linn
its. Kindly advice and caution should
be given by the parent.
An opportunity is thus afforded to cul-
tivate the habit of systematic beneyo-
lence; for if a girl knows the exact
amount of her income she can easily
calculate the proportion she wishes to
devote to the Lord work, or His poor,
and if the sum be but small one, the
giving will bring a satisfaction that ir-
regular or spasmodic gifts would not
afford.
Parents, won tyou consider this matter,
and give the young folks chance? The
allowance may be monthly, quarterly
or yearly, as preferred, and the amount
would depend on the fathers ability OF
generosity. Don't look upon it as so
much money given away or wasted.
You would expect TO spend certain
sum for each child during the year. Let
such ones as are old enough exercise
their own Judgment, train their facul-
ties, develop their skill and their feel
ing of proper independence by the
management of the small sums intrust-
ed to them, and they will gain wisdom
for the wider sphere of manhood and
womanhood. - Mary Winchester. tn Gold

Fattening on Grass.

Many farmers keep the cattle and
sheep they intend to market on the APP
proach of winter in scanty pastures dur
ing the entire summer, where they re-
main in very poor condition for want Of
sufficient food. They keep themselves
and their teams hard at work during
the summer raising corn to fatten them.
That corn is an excellent kind of food
to feed cattle and sheep intended for
Strengthening all will admit. 1t is like
w, however, that most Western feeders
give too much attention to corn and not
enough to grass. 1t is easy to render
cattle and sheep reasonably fat on grass
and clover alone. They must, however,
be abundant and of good quality. II
animals are obliged to be on their feet
all day and are compelled to wander
about from morning till night in search
of food, and are then forced to lie down
hungry, they can not be expected to be-
come fat. Corn will not cause animals
to become fat ifthey are allowed enough
of it to enable them to repair the natur-
al waste of the system. Its chief advan-
tage as an article of food for animals
being fattened consists in the fact that
they can eat enough TO form a large
amount of flesh and fat in short time,
and then can have an opportunity for
rest. Provide cattle and sheep with
green fodder so abundantly that they
can satisfy their appetites in short
time and have an opportunity to rest in
comfort and they will become fat on it
without corn. Grass is by far the most
economical food for stock and summer
is the best time for laying on fat. BY
paying more attention to grazing and
less TO corn farmers can make beef and
mutton for less cost than most of them
do under the present system of feed 'ng.
