has returned to New Hampshire to
build IN Shelbourn q curious dwell

stones, forming walls two feet thick.
The design is patterned after COLOMBIA
forms, and not the least peculiar of
the builders notiOnsIs that the outer
stones are to be moss-covered.
In a recent trial on the Thames of
an electric launch, forty feet long,
with storage battery, speed of seven
knots an hour was attained. The
speed of steam launch, with engine,
boiler, water and coal sucfiient for a
six hours run, would have been from
one and a half to two miles an hour
greater. Comparing the electrical
system with steam, the advantages of
electricity are entire absence of noise,
great cleanliness, and very small
room needed for machinery; and vixen
once charged it is ready at a moments
notice.
A Montana paper of recent date
says that Rev. S. D. Hinnan, the
notorious plaintiff against Bishop
Hare, has married a young woman of
half breed birth. Miss Mary Merricks,
of Santee Agency. The bride has a
rich uncle i'll st. Paul, and is under
stood to be heir to a share of the San
tee Indian Reservation, when it shall
be pareeled out, besides having a per-
manent legacy in the usual govern
ment ratiOns.
Last summer a Philadelphia gentle
man dug out sand crab on the Jer-

put in his cellar. Up to date he says
it has caught 142 rats. The rodents

investigate they are nipped and held
until the dog arrives.
Jennie Chatham was to be married
to Mr.. G. E. Harris at Kansas City,
and as he and the necessary minister
came at the front door, Jennie and DR..

while Harris was momentarily expect

In many places on the Pacific
coast they are now getting up what
are called basket and weigh socials.
The programme for such a party
reads about as follows: Each lady
will bring a basket containing supper
for two The baskets will be placed
in the hands of a committee, who
will number them. Numbers will be
placed on slips of paper to correspond
with the baskets. The gentlemen
will draw those slipS. Then each
will get his basket, which contains
the name of the lady, and conducts
her to the scale to be weighed, paying
1 cent per pound for her and her bas-
ket.

hardly strength enough in his hands
ts convey food to his mouth, and that
he was helped to and from his bed
like feeble child, but. like an old
forest oak, he was beautiful in decay.
The lustre of his eyes was undimmed
and he greeted his friends earnestly
and kindly. His voice continued to
be all sweetness and melody. except
when its tones were moved by that
bodily weakness which made it pain
full for him to speak, snd it was al
ways painful for him to speak long.
When the last hour came he had at
his bedside his oldest son, Thomas
Hart Clay, and the Rev. DR.. Butler,
rector of Trinity Episcopal Church,
with which he was ia full communion.
His last moments were disturbed by
the music and shouts of the Wings,
ratlfylng the nomination just made at
Philadelphia of Winfield Scott.
When his death was known the
next day, political differences were
forgotten in the touching encomiums
of the departed statesman, and the
sincerity of tone in which regret
found utterance from every tongue.
There could not have been a more
sincere demonstration of popular re-
gard. Other men have reached the
Presidential chair, but no one has
ever attained the post which Henry
Clay held in the hearts of his coun-
trymen. Mrs. Clay, who had never
been much at Washington City, was
at their home in Kentucky, and was
then III her seventy-frst year. She
had been the mother of twelve chill
dren, four of whom died in childhood,
and only three of whom were then
alive.
When Mr.. Clay left the State De-
partment in 1929, he presented all his
personal papers to Major-General Jes-
sup of the army. General Jessup,
who was his warm friend, was his
second in his duel with John Ran
dolph, and had in his possession all
the correspondence and imprinted
instances of that celebrated meeting.
1t is to be regretted that he could not
have written his "reminiscences of

How They Make Hay in Ohie.

An Ohio farmer, describing his
method of making clover hay, says
1T is impossible to make good clover
hay without two clear days in success
sion, except by the use Of waterproof
caps. Allowing that we can have two
fair days and about one-half of the
clover-blossoms turn brown, the
mower should be started as soon as
the dew is all off, but not sooner, and
it may be kept running until noon.
The rake should be started just IL time
to get what was cut before noon all
into winrows, before the dew begins
to fall. like rather large and heavy
winrows. as they hold more heat, and
it is the heat of the sun absorbed by
the clover while in the swath that
does the curing, and right here is the
delicate part of the process. When
the crop has been cut before noon and
the sun shining brightly, it has
absorbed heat enough to almost cook
it during the night-that is, if it has
been put into large, tight winrows.
The curing is done in the night. AS
soon as the dew IS off next morning,
the winrows want to be opened up to
the wind and the sun, and by noon
are ready to go into the NOW.
[ never use any salt in storing and
never have any dusty hay. Salt
draws moisture from the air; as con-
sequence salted hay heats IN the NOW,
which causes it to get dusty. Why
any one should salt hay is a great
mystery" And another Ohio farmer
says the best way to keep hay free
from trash is to NOW the young clo-
yer and Timothy late Ia the summer
or fall. before ragweed goes to seed.
He cures the young grass and weeds,
rakes up clean, and puts it in rick
or shed by itself. The oung cattle
and sheep eat 1t freely, and prefer it
to the best corn fodder. Though an
inferior crop, it pays for the labor of
taking it off his meadowland. He
thus prevents any weed from going to
seed on his land and has nice, clean
hay the following year. He further
claims that grass is benefited by the
moving, as the land is not taxed with
the weed-crop maturing seed, the
stubble and trash removed. The
grass stands better the tax Of heat and
drought, which is most trying at that
season of the year.

Decapitated Insects.

S. r. Canestrinni has bee1I expert
menting upon the effects of decapi-
tatIon upon insect. Butterflies were
able to use their wings eighteen days
after they had lost their heads. Crick-
cts leaped on the thirteenth day after
they had been beheaded and the pray
ing-mantis showed signs of life on the
fourteenth day after the head had
been separated from the body. He
gives still more singular observations,
tending to show that the head In in
sects cannot be subjected to the same
perpetual strain as the head in mann
mails in guiding the motions of the
body.

Rabbi Gotthiel IN his lecture on
Young Men and Maidens, SAID: II

fall in love six times or more before
he is 20; and every maiden ought to

A OUADRUPLE LYNCHING.
The Medicine Lodge (Kan.) Bank
Robbers Captured and Killed.

The attempted bank robbery at
Medicine Lodge, Barber county, Kas.,
which resulted in the killing of George
Geppert, the Cashier, and the fatal
wounding of E. W. Payne, the Presi-
dent, and terrible sequel in the cap
ture and lynching of the four robbers
who planned the bold attempt. The
posse in pursuit came up with the
robbers three miles from town, cap
tured them after a brief struggle,
brought the prisoners to Medicine
Lodge and lodged them In the Gala
boose. A crowd gathered at 10 a'clock
and attacked the building. One of
the robbers opened fire from a revol-
yer which he had concealed in his
boot, whereupon the crowd riddled
him with bullets. The remaining
three were taken out, conducted to
the edge of the town and hanged.
One of the prisoners begged for
mercy, but the others died game.
Two Of the robbers proved to be Hen
ry Brown and Ben Wheeler, ex-
Marshal and ex-Assistant Marshal Of
Caldwell, Kan. The other two, John
Wesly and Billy Smith, were cowboys
from the ''T So range All the men
were well known here. Itwas Brown
who fired on the crowd and thus es-
capped the halter.
Mr.. Payne is reported dying. The
bullet entered his breast over the heart,
and came out below the shoulder
blade. Geppert was first shot in the
back, then in the forehead, and died
instantly. Only few weeks ago he
was asked what he would do if the
bank was raided. ''Die before I
would give up, said he.

A New Explosive.
Boston Herald.

a French chemist has invented q
new class of explosives more power
full than dynamite and less sensitive to
shocks. In ore form the explosive is
made by the simple admixture of two
liquids, each of which is inert by Itself.
It can therefore be transported and
handled with great safety, and even
when the two liquids are combined in
an explosive mixture, it is said to be
harmless under the action of fire and
shock. Both fire and shock combin-
ed, as in the explosion of illuminate,
are REQUIRED to detonate the new ex-
plosive. It is known as Panclastite,
and, if its properties are as represent
ed, we are pretty sure to hear from it
something more in the near future.

10y TELEGRAPH no THE TgIBrSE.l
WASHINGTON Nav 3-The Free Trade leaders in
xhe House have been extremely busy all day and all
the evening trying to effect some sort of an
sangement to prevent the beheading of the Nor
tison bill on Tuesday. Nothing has been left
pntried la some cases buldogng has been resorted
TO- and in others all the arts of persuasion have been
brought into play. The main reliance, however,
has been on trading Ii rs now tolerably certain
that Mr.. Morrison has agreed to drop HIS proposed
transfer of coal lumber and salt from the dutiabe
hist to the free list. One or two Maryland Demo-
Gratis have been promised that tin plate shall be put
ON the free list, if they will vote against the de
cisive motion. The wool question has presented
the greatest difficulties The Ohio Democrats this
morning presented what they called their ultima
tum IL reaured restoration of the rates OF 1867,
and il was rejected.
II is understood that counter proposition was
subsequently, made by Colonel Morrison and that
several of the Ohio and California Democrats are
strongly disposed to take it into favorable cOnsid-
Grafton In effect il leaves the wool duty as 1t
now stands and proposes to reduce the horizontal
cut on other articles from 20 per cent to 10 per
cent. II is believed the latter provision
includes a proposition to reduce duties
A Democrat tonight remarked that this scheme
reminded him of the ingenious and humane boy
who decided to cut off his dogs tail half an inch
each day, on the theory that it would hurt the
feelings of the animal less than if the whole tail
were taken off at one stroke. The free traders
claim tonight that they have won over at least
three of the California Democrats, two from
West Virginia. seven from Ohio, and
all of the Virginia men. The Southern
votes have been captured. if at all, by
promises to add TO the bill section repeating the
tax on tobacco and reducing or repeating the tax
on fruit spirits. 1t is not now expected that any
Democratic votes from Virginia. North Carolina,
South Carolina or Tennessee viii be cast IN favor
of the motion 10 strike out the enacting clause.
Democrats who favor the repeal of the tobacco and
fruit spirits taxes have been given TO understand
that there shall he no reduction of internal taxes
until the Tariff bill has passed the Committee of
the Whole
There is reason to believe that the claim Of the
ree-trade leaders of gain OF three VOTES IN Cali
f0rnia and two in West Virginia is valid. II they
succeed in gaining the seven votes IN ONO which
they now claim the probability is that the motion
10 strike out the enacting clause will be rejected
by q sma II majority A prominent democrat who
Is opposed to the bill puts the number of Demo
cratic votes against ii at foryone. IL his estimate
De correct the motion will probably be carried by
from two TO five majority.
