Fire places came into general use in
country halls in the sixteenth century.
In earlier halls the hearth was in the mid
die of the room, and the smoke found its
way to the timber roof, which it black
ened, and then through the lantern in the
center to the open air. The more refined
habits of the sixteenth century led to a
better arrangement, and the fireplace was
universally constructed in the wall, and
the smoke escaped up a chimney.-De-

ANOTHER KANSAS TRAGEDY.

A Farmer Beats His Wife to Death, and
Then Deserts His Little Children.
ELK FALLS, Kan, March ia horri-
bic murder was committed two weeks ago
last Friday, about seven miles south Of this
place, on Salt creek, and the fiendish crime
was not discovered until Monday morning.
A farmer. whose name is John Hogan, had
a family, consisting of wife and six chill.
dren, ages from four to fourteen years.
The chiljren's story is that he had some
trouble with their mother and commenced
beating her with chair, knocked
her down and then chOked her. He then
put the children in an clubhouse and told
them il they told about it he would kill
them. They say that their mother was not
dead when he put them in the clubhouse.
but after while he took the body out and
buried it. The house Is situated some dis.
lance from neighbours, and it was several
days before any one knew of the children
being alone. When it was learned that the
parents were absent the children
could not be induced to tell anything
relative to the matter until this
morning, when, on investigating, the
body of the wife was found buried beneath
the house, with but little earth covering it
These facts are obtained from neighbOrs
who have just came in for the coroner. A
day or two since a letter was received by q
friend of the family, from New York. re-
questing them to look after the children.
There was no signature to the letter. HO-
gan left horse with a farmer near here,
two weeks ago last Friday evening. saying
he was going to MOrehead, but has never
returned. Word from Morehead is that he
never stopped there.

WHEAT AND FLOUR.

The Supply On Hand According to q State
n,ent Issued by the Department OF Agri-
culture--FOurth Glass Mail Matter.
WASHINGTON, March 10.-The follow
ing statement was issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture to-day: "The stock of
wheat in the hands of farmers, is 30.1 per
cent. of the crop. 1t was 1871 one year
ago and 2S.4 two years ago. 1t amounts
to 107, OOO, 900 bushels, against l69, 900, 900
last March and lis, OOO, 600 two years ago.
1t is only 5000, 900 bushels more than in
March, 1882, the shortest invisible supply
of recent years. The visible and invisible
supply March was l5?. 900 900 bushels,
against PIP, ZOO, 900 last March. The pro-
portion of the crop estimated for con-
sumption within the country where grown

Agriculture makes the proportion of corn
still in the hands of farmers 40 per cent
of the last crop; one year ago the report
was 81 6 per cent; two years ago 33 per
cent. 1t amounts to 773, OC0, 900 bushels,

for fruit of other kinds is good, excepting

SINGULAR PHENOMENON.

A Mass of Ice Seized In the Embrace OF y
whirlwipd and Deposited On the Side Of
Mt. Ida, N. Y.
HIGHLAND, ULSTER COUNTY, N. T.,
March 9.-The valley of Mount Ida, two
miles from this village, was yestcr-
day the scene of one of the most peculiar
manifestations of the vagaries of the
wind ever heard of, in this Vi
cinity at least. 1t was little
whirlwind, but a strange one. The
day was an exceptionally pleasant
one, the sun shining brightly, and with
little or no wind apparent. BY the side
of the road leading to New Paltz is an ice
field of considerable extent. Without
any warning sharp, short and curious
wind storm arose, currents coming from
two different points of the compass and
meeting just above the ice field al
luded to. In an instant there was a
crashing of ice and such an atmospheric
disturbance and whirling of ice and
water as to create miniature water
spout. Several times this spectacle was
repeated, one miniature water spout
following another rapidly, and constantly
increasing in size. Finally the wind
gathered sufficient force to raise into
the air great mass of ice and water.
Then whirling about with the rapidity of
q top, the wind, keeping close in its
embrace this cold mass, moved slowly
away from the pond and began to climb
up the side of Mount Ida. It was
q beautiful sight for the bright rays
of the sun set the mass to
glittering and shimmering and it moved
slowly on, throwing out dazzling and
beautiful many-colored rays along its
path. Well up in air the mass was swept
on, some of the larger ice cakes falling In
its path, until something over two hum
dred feet from its starting point the wind
dropped its burden on Mount Ida's side.
The path of this ice whirlwind was
q very narrow one, and trees
on either side showed no in
dication of any unusual atmospheric
disturbance or of the presence If any
wind at all. Such a strange freak of the
wind has never been noticed here before,
and even that well informed party, 'the
oldest inhabitant," has no story of any
such phenomenon stored away in his
memory.
