During the storm of last Friday the
house of John Peterson three miles
east of Turner, was struck by lightning.
The electric fluid shattered two win
dows and struck the 10 year-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. Peterson, killing her instant
ly and setting her clothes on fire. Mrs.
Peterson was sewing ut the time, and
the electricity, apparently attracted by
the needle in her hand, passed down
her right arm to the elbow, setting the
cloth on which she was working on fire
and paralyzing her arm. Mr.. Peterson
was in the room but was not affected
materially. He seized mis- daughter be-
fore she could fall and extingulshed
the flames. The girl was buried
Saturday.

How to Build up a Town.
Eankton Herald.

Just how to build up town is not
generally known or at least is not gen.
orally practiced. The following sugges-
tions are to the point and well worth
considerations:
Talk about it.
Write about 1t.
Help to improve it.
Speak well about it.
Beautify the streets.
PatroniZe its merchants.
Advertise in its newspapers.
Elect good men to all the offices.
Speak well of its philosophical, en-
terprising citizens.
Ii you don't think of any good word
to say don't say any thing bad about it.
If you are rich invest in something,
employ somebody, be a "husler."
Don't bark and growl at the assessor,
he has taken his oath to do what is
right.
BE courteous to strangers that come
among you, so that they go away with
SOOu impressions.
Remember that every dollar you in
vest in permanent Improvement is
that much on interest.
Always cheer on the men who go in
for improvements, your portions of the
cost will be nothing only what is just,
Don't kick at any proposed necessary
improvement. because it is not at your
own door or for fear that your taxes
will be raised fifteen cents.
Don't throw stumbling blocks in the
way of your town officers, they are gen.
orally public-spirited men and spend
lots of time in the public interest for
which they receive no remuneration.
If during the week, anything of pub
lie interest has transpired which might
appear in print TO the credit of the COM
munity, tell it in the newspaper office SO
that it may be seen by the outside
world.
Never condemn the local paper unless
it has unfairly used you. If it has dealt
with you unjustly, write to it or go in.
to the Office and talk with the editor
about your case; if he was wrong he
will lose no time to tell it to the public
Don't use rubber stamps on your let
ter heads; that is a dead give away" on
your own business, on the town and on
the newspapers published in it. Get
your letter heads, envelopes, business
cards, etc, printed at the printing
| office.
Ii you owe the newspaper dollar or
| five dollars, or twenty-five cents, pay il
if you can; there is no other force in the
community which can do anything like
the same amount of good for it, us the
newspaper. 1t deserves prompt and
fair remuneration,
Don't let politics get mixed up with
your business; If you are a business mar
don't lose the help that newspaper car
give you because its politics are moi
your politics, and by al means don't ad
vertise merely to "help the paper
along" advertise to help your business
and town along.
Newspapers are expected to advocate
that which is IN the interest of the towr
in which they are published; they gen
orally do. Ifyou are interested in the
town, you should show it by advertising
in its newspaper; il you are a business
or professional man, you should induce
others TO do SO; this helps the town.

DUCKS VS.. HENS EGGS.

French Authority for Saying That Ducles
Lay More and Richer Eggs Than Hens.
An experiment was lately made in
France for the purpose of finding tho
relative value of hens and ducks as egg
producers. Three of each sort were
selected for testing the result by obser-
vations as to their relative fertility.
Between the first day of January and
the end of August, the three hens laid
257, and the ducks 4Q2 eggs. More
over, in the autumn months of the pre-
vious year, the ducks had yielded 215
eggs while the hens had completely
ceased laying, Altogether, thereforeJ
the ducks had produced 6l7 eggs within
the twelve months as against 257 OBJ
tanned from the hens. The birds Of
each class selected for experiment were
of the same age, and, as far as
could be judged, of the same relative
size and strength. Of course more
extended series of trials must be under4
taken before any definite opinion can
be given on the relative merits of duck
versus hen in the matter of egg laying
But there are eggs and eggs, and it re.
mains to consider their comparative
value as food, as produced by the hen
or duck respectively. This was under.
taken by French chemist, M. Cons
mail, who gave the result of his analysis
of both varieties. Ahen' segg weighing
GOA grammes equal to 14.433 grains
avoirdupois), was found to consist Of
To grammes of shell and membranes
52.2 grammes or 88.07 per cent. of the
contents. One hundred parts of the con-
tents of a hens egg contained 35.O1
dry matter, 1.03 ash, and 11.27 fat
while the proportions of the same sub
stances in ducks egg were found ID
be 1882, 1.16, and 1909 respectively
1t follows, therefore, that ducks art
not only the more prolific layers, bui
their eggs are also richer in fat to No
nconsiderable extent, facts that viii

LINES TO MY SPRING ovERcoAT.

Thou tickle thingl
0h, could smite thee with tongue of brass
BUT words are dumb and so-but let it pass
For thou art only false as other men,
hate thee now as did love thee then,
Early last spring.
Why, false one, see!
Thou once was warm enough for any cline
And mark, how short ago was that sweet
time
In August last, when sunstrokes filled the
+ sky,
And for the lack of other coat 1 wore thee
ayel
Thou smothered'st me!
And now? the breath
OF chill November makes me wish thee warm
Dead leaves in shivering eddies round Inc
swarm;
Thou art as cold as frigid Greenland's SHOWS,
And every one who sees thee laughs and
knows
I'll freeze to death.

TYRANT MORPHINE.


How the Queen of Cerebral StImulants
Enslaves Its Victims.
Notwithstanding all that has been
said and written about opium and the
evils resulting from its indiscriminate
use, the habit still prevails, especially
among women, to the extent that may
be said to threaten the very foundations
of our social system. Begun in many
instances by the family physician who
administers a hypodermic injection of
morphine cone of the most insidious
forms of opium) to allay some acute or
chronic pain, the patient is captiVated
by its medicinal effects. The feeling
of exhilaration and freedom from suf-
fering that follows its introduction
into the system is so great that the
dose will be repeated again and again.
Soon only a very slight preteXt is
needed, until at last the habit is formed
and the victim of the syringe will re-
becomes necessary to her very exist
ence. Should the physician discover
the danger and decline to indulge the
fancy of the victim, she will procure a
hypodermic syringe and administer the
doses herself. II have known" said a
Brooklyn physician, "a lady whose
whole side was a mass of sores from
hypodermic injections of morphine. y
DR.. Skene, of Brooklyn, in speaking OF
morphine, said: Its effect is the
same whatever the way it is admins
tered. Hypodermic injections, how
ever, are more prompt in their action
hence more eXhilarating and fascinating
to the patient. In acute and chronic
diseases there are opium-eaters who

About Your Paper.

Reader, in psrusing this journal
you may find some things not'ex-
aetly suited to your taste. You
may find things said which you
would greatly prefer unsaid. You
may even take Offense at some par
ticular paragraph or sentence. You
may find unnecessary omissions or
an unCalled for addition, according
to your mind. But do you ever
stop to think what a variety of
whims poor newspaper must sup
ply and study to satisfy De you
ever realize the sad and deplorable
fact that no man on earth could
publish a paper to please all and
offend none? or that a man can be
a public speaker and never say any
thing which some of his hearers
cannot endorse? Think of these
things, and when you fnd an item
which does not particularly interest
you, be charitable enough to pass
it by with the thought that per-
haps that very item will be of more
interest and benefit to your neigh
Dor than all else in the paper. Put
a charitable and conservative con
struction upon all things, and when
you sit down to read q newspaper

A Produce stallion Stake.

pillIlI VI the arm.
1t is gratifying, no doubt, to eve
ry lover Of the trotting- horse in the
state TO notice the interest YOU have
created amongst our breeders by
your persistent efforts in this direc-
tion. Your suggestion to those who
own stallions to open a produce
stake is a move that should meet
the hearty approval of all trotting
horse breeders. II you will permit
me, will suggest the following for
their consideration:
Let the owner of every trotting-
stallion subscribe $50 or $25 to a
purse for foals of 1885 or 1886, and
to be trotted the fall they are two
years old over the track OF any as
sociation in Tennessee that will add
the most money; charge a nominal
entrance fee, say $40; So to be paid
10 the secretary Of the Tennessee
Trotting Horse Breeders Associa-
tion when the foal is a year old and
the other So the day before the race
all of which is to go in the purse
and only the produce of such
stations whose owners have sub
scribed to be eligible to entry.
1 think 8 stake of this kind would
be popular with all breeders; il
would not only increase the patron
age of their stations, but it will
create an interest in trotting horses
amongst the farmers; and, as you
suggested in the Spirit of the Farm
few issues back, many mares.
doubtless, are now pulling the pillow
that under this system Of produce
stakes would become famous as
brood-mares. 1 simply make these
rough suggestions fer your consid-
Grafton and that of others interest
ed in this matter, to be put in such
shape as you and they think best,

the terms are,yo may count on Al

Are Foxes Fond of the Chase.

There Is a theory that foxes en-
Joy being chased by the hounds and
hunters. We believe ourselves that
they prefer the chase to being
caught and torn to pieces by the
dogs--it's natural. Whatever fun
or displeasure this sport may af-
ford the foxes, it is safe to assert
there are a great many men in
this community who ennjoy it i'm
mensely and engage in it frequent
ly. and to such the following ex-
tract may be interesting: "A Geor-
gia. paper laments the disappear
ance of fox hunting from that re-
gion and adds that since huntin g
was discontinued the foxes have
left the country. This theory is
confirmed by the observation of an
English naturalist, who says that
foxes enjoy being hunted so much
that they have been known in the
ecstasy of pleasure to turn from the
track while pursued by the hounds
nd chase a startled hare"
