KEEP TIE CALVES GROWING.

we presume, al least we hope, that
our advice to keep tho heifor calves
mas been taken by many, and that the
butcher will never again havo such an
excellent opportunity to find the ma
terial for veal. But let it now be un-
derstood that if it is intended 20 make

place as any to tell what n CORES
pondcnt in ono of our most valued cx-
changes says in regard to raising calves
without milk. Uo says he has raised
just as iine calves rs can be raised by
the method TO be described. 1t is this:
For throo days he lets the calf suck
the COW. Then he takes it entirely
away from the cow, and feeds upon
nay tea and milk, beginning with
.Cnc-quarter of tea and throe-quarters
OF milk, feeding it blood warm Grad
ually he diminishcs the milk, until tho
foot is exclusively hay tea. IIo SAYS
th"t hay tca-tho hay must be the best
is much better than grass, and that
the calf likes it much better. Mill
siulls may DO added TO tho tea as the
calf seems to need it, but in small
quantities. A littlo tirst-rato hay is
placed where the calf can got AT it,
and he will soon learn 10 niDDIo at it.

SHOT DEAD.
Fatal Result of a Family Quarrel
in Bath.
HOW A DISPUTE OVER A TRANS
FER OF PROPERTY ENDED.

BATH Jan. 7.-Arnold C. Stacy who lives on the
outskirts of this CITY, shot dead tonight during
family quarrel. Stacy is proprietor of the Crystal
Mineral Spring, purchasing it about three years
ago, at which time residence was erected at quite
an expense and he became in a state of financial
embarrassment about year ago, and the property
was transferred to his wife. few weeks since the
debt was cleared and he wished to become the pos
of the property but the wife refused to turn
it over in his name. At the supper table tonight,
as Mrs. Stacy states, her husband insisted on be-
coming the possessor of this property using threat
ening language. Fearing violence, Mrs. Stacy
arose from the table and from drawer in the pan
try adjoining the kitchen she took 32-calibre re-
volver that was kept by her for defence in case of
any danger during his absence, the house is in
out of the way place on The edge of the woods and
quite distance from any residence. She states
that he took hold of the barrel. when it was dis
charged, the bullet entering the left side of his
head near the ear and killing him instantly.
Geo. Reed, young man employed by the de-
ceased, notified Sheriff Balou and Chief of Police
Bailey of the affair, and they proceeded to the
house. Mrs, Stacy was greatly agitated when the
officers arrived and made statement as above.
After lengthy search the revolver was found in
the yard few feet from the house. The boy Reed
says that he found the revolver Stacy's body,
and in the excitement threw the pistol out of DOORS
coroner's inquest will be held tomorrow. The
residence is in charge of officer Tibbetts; but no
arrests have been made, however. The deceased
was about 33 years old with several children, while
the wife is few years younger.

The Presiding ORcers.

Senator Pennell who is chosen TO preside
over the senate, is but thirty-seven years of
age. He was born in Portland in 1847, and

Der 1872, he was appointed superintendent.
aud in October, 1879, was promoted to the
agency Fol three years he was president
of the Lewiston board of Aldermen. He il
now President of the Lewiston Water board.
In 1881 Mr.. Penne.l was elected to fill the

Hon. |. N. Parker of Lewiston. In 1888
and 1884 Mr.. Pennell sat in the Maine Sem
ate from Androscoggin county.
Speaker Hamlin is the son of ex-senator

scot.
Mr.. Pennell then addressed the Senate as follows:
Gentlemen of the Senate;
know of no partiality or prejudice which shall
hinder me In this position from doing my entire
duty by every member of this body and the public.
Let it not be SAID that come to this place and take
1t with any self sUticieney; on the other hand l
tender to you my most grateful ACCOMPLISHMENTS
tufe and honorable as this is. The experience of
former session has confirmed my respect for the Sem
ators of Maine, and my appreciation of the honor 1t
is to preside over 1t.
The duties of presiding officer are certainly
responsible however they may be amelorated in the
two branches of the Legislature by the kindness
manifested by its members.
The presiding officer should be diligent student
of parlia4 entary law; he should be assiduous, pa
tient courteous and above all impartial. He should
remember that the constitution of Maine gives to
every citizen equal right to elect Others and to
be himself elected to office, and that the rights of
! every member are equal to those of any other.
He should not conduct himself a dictator of
business but should bear in mind rather that he is
members and fairly express it to them discover the
results and conclusions arrived at and announce
! them.
The business of directing affairs upon the floor IL
to be left to the chairman Of the committees, and
the gentlemen whe have matters IN shargs.

Destitute Bows.

The citizens of Portland are becoming full
ly alive to the fact that the future well-being
of the city depends largely upon the charac-
ter ofthe boys now growing up in their
midst. The attention of the city govern
ment was recently called to letter from the
committee of the Portland Fraternity In
which the need of some place In which bows
destitute of the right kind of homes might
spend their evenings, instead of upon ths
streets, was strongly urged. 1t was claimed
that the furnishing of suitable room for
this purpose might be considered as within
the province Of the school committee. as the
great aim OF the schools is to make good cit
izens. 1t was thought that some of the
ward rooms might be utilized for the pur-
pose. The appeal for aid is made not to the
philanthropy of the people, but to the finan-
cial interest, it being much easier in a world
ly point Of view to educate the young men
OF the city, than to punish them after they
become criminals. The matter Is now under
adSisement, and as Portland people are usu-
ally among the foremost of devising plans
for the well-being of the children, it is prob
able that something in the shape of Tree
reading room for boys will result-Lewis-

Beautiful garnitures for white ball cos

the leaves of the India-rubber tree mixed
with coral.
The most fashionable bridal necklace is q

pearls strung in loops, constituted the dress

In Paris they line the hoods of rubber wa

A new way Of arranging a bill of fare is to
write it inside piece of rather stiff paper
folded like an envelope, with the words
"Bon appetit" for postmark, and dsfaced
postage stamp in the corner.
A pretty skating cap is made by trimming
Langtry turban with a handkerchief Of
Scotch plaid satin, with the corners pointing
upwards.
Colored lace matching the sleeve Is now
used to fasten the long gloves worn with ev-
ening dress to the gown. The lace is full.
and is deep enough to allow the wearer to
move her arm with perfect freedom.
An Immense rose called "Her Majesty"
and having blossoms six or seven inches
across, is now in the New York forcing
houses, One of its buds Is enough fer
breast knot.
The attempt to Danish the metal but ton
from the street costume was a failure. 1t has
returned, and is handsomer and more expen-
sive than ever.
Smllax has appeared in the shops of the
London florists, and is recommended by the
London papers, one of which adds that
American bellies are often fasihonablY
fixed" by its use.
Mustard and pink, and art green and am
per are two combinations recently exhibited
by London dressmaker, who also aston
ished her customers by showing them bon

When the bridal veil is of illusion It is
set far forward on the head, but when 1t is

shoulders.
When a bright colored handkerchief is
thrust into the breast of the jacket 1t should
match the feathers of the hat, to accord with
English rules.
Pretty silk skirts for evening wear have
the scallops of their deep Aounces plated
into fan shape at the edge, and shell plait-
