From, the Ns1o York iFptd.
PARIS, Sept. 9.-An extraordinarily re-.
voting crime occurred yesterday after
noon in the Rue d'Albani, near the Fau-
bourg st. Martin. At No. 16 Of the street

tectOr returned convict named Marius
Blanc. The pair had frequent disputes
of late relative TO money matters, the
woman refusing to give a certain sum that
was demanded by Blanc, who sold her
clothes and trinkets to procure it. Because
his mistress went to the police to com
plain Blanc beat her iuriously. He
burst into her room, brandIshing huge
knife, and threatened TO finish her. The
rufiian then seized the woman before she
could cry loud enough for help, knocked
her down, and, kneeling on her chest. sew
cred her head from the body. A neighbor,
who heard the noise, ran to the room and
Blanc presented a revolver at him. The
man Immediately ran down stairs TO call
the police, and on arriving in the street
he saw a crowd of excited people looking
up at the house and clamoring loudly.
Gazing upwards also he was Mortified
to see the head OF the murdered woman
dangling by the hair from the shutters OF
the window Of her room. At the window
stood the murderer, grinning like some
hend at the hOrror-stricken people below.
The police and some pas6ers-by ran up
stairs, but before they arrived in the room
Blanc had lodged four bullets from his
revolver in his own breast. The specta-
Gle was a terrible one. Blanc was lying
near mis- headless victim, and the floor OF
the room was covered with blood. The
police having detached the head from the
window shutter, the two dead bodies were

Alexander Hubert, better known to
Washingtonians as "5andy," Is dead. He
was the oldest employe at the White
House. He has been engineer of the
house for years and, besides this, great
weather prophet, beating the weather
bureau all to pieces. When Sandy first
entered the public service under Presi-
dent Buchanan there was little or no
need for the services Of an engineer, and
he devoted most OF his time to the milk
supply Of the household. There used TO
be large vault under the north p0rtico,
and here Sandy kept all his milk and
cream, making n regular milk house out
OF the bin now used for coal. Dur

Educating Horses.

Professor Oscar r. Gleason, who has been
giving some remarkable exhibitions in the
way of subduing horses, has a few simple
principles which he applies to pro luce his
ASTONISHING results. First, he says a horse
cannot think of two things at once. To
break an animal of bad habits the professor
begins by confusing him in some way till he
does not know what he is about Not know
ing what to do then, he gives in. Another
point is that people donot talk to their horses
enough Mr. Gleason says they can be made
to understand like children if they are talked
to. They are more intelligent, indeed. than
people are sometimes, for they know when
they are subdued and give in all at once.
Often a horse does not obey because he does
not know what is wanted of him. A horses
bad habits are always taught him by some
bad or ignorant person. He never has them
by nature By patience, kindness, firmness
and skill, the worst horse alive can be c,frel
OF bad habits Again, never whip balk-
ing horse after he has started That will
make him think next time that if he starts
he viii be whipped again, and he will con-
clude not to bulge. When horse has com
pretended, and done what you have told him
to do, pat him, and talk to him kindly and
encouragingly Professor Gleason has writ
ten book, with pictures explaining his
methods One curious thing which he does
he says anybody may do. He cracks n
whip to attract the horses attention. Then
he goes up close to him and looks him in the
eye. Then he backs off slowly his eve fixed
on the animal still. The horse follows him
all over the ground. Try it.

ThouSan Is Of cattle are killed annually in
Kansas, Co orado, New Mexico. etc. by this
loco weed. y stock grower at Las Vegas, n
NJ, says when his horses get a taste of this
weed, so hewitching is the taste, they will
eat nothing else. Horses poor in flesh seek
it more greedily than those in better health
And when once under tho influence of this
weed the horse will refrain from all other
food, but is wild in seeking more of the loco
weed. They are much like the slave to in.
toxicating liquor. They become insane in
appetite for their destroyer
1t is pretty positively stated that it is not
the poisonous nature of the weed, but that on
nearly all the stalks of this weed near the
ground, there are found red specks, which
are the eggs Of the loco worm. In eating the
plant the cattle and horses eat 80 greedily
and thoroughly that they bite it close to the
ground, and swallow the eggs. In the stom-
ach these eggs are converted into worms, and
are the true cause of the animals death.
The man says he finds the same worms in the
dead animals stomachs that he find, on the
loco weed after the red eggs are Matched.

square rod of ground, well exposed to
warmth and light of sun, is sufficient for
production of as many cucumbers as a family
viii use, Sink a barrel, its sides well per-
forated, just beneath the surface Of the
ground; fill it with compo.t of stable manure
If poul ry droppings are mixed in all the
better; cover this with little straw. Then
plant on the outside, near the barrel. four
hills of cucumhers, the hills being well stirred
and enriched with good soil; give good culti-
walton. Lay brush around for vines to run
over. Keep the contents of barrel well
watered, and an abundant crop may be ex-
pected. For usual mode of cultivation: Form
low, fiat hills of rich soil; if not rich make
it SO with compost of we'll rotted manure
and rich soil; that from the woods is best.
Poultry manure so composted is as good if
not better. Thoroughly mix the compost
with soil The hills should be as much as
three feet across and eight or ten inches
ground. Plant about fifteen seeds in a hill
one inch deep, the soil lightly pressed down
on them. When well up thin out to two or
three plants of vigorous growth. Cultivate
with hoe, and preferably in thu early morn
ing. Cotton, paper or rags, saturated with
a solution of salt and copperas laid round
the vines-not tOuching-over this a little

Now that the season of cyclones and tor
nadoes has fairly opened, would it not be
well for those living in regions where these
destructive visitations are likely to occur with
the greatest violence to construct "cvc'one
cellars" In an emergency such n structure
conveniently at hand would often be the
safety of the family, and anyhow its cost
would he amply repaid by the rea-suring

that those in it could not be crushed by fall
ing walls or timbers, as they might easily be
in an ordinary cellar. A small brick-lined
room excavated from an ordinary cellar,
with an arched brick roof some distance
beneath the surface of the ground, woull be
the safest and b"st protection. Where even

occurred last year before August, vet Ill
lives are known to have been lost by them
