An Attempted Suicidc.

The smell of gas in the house Of Captain
S. G. Cabell, corner Of Second and A streets
southeast, yesterday afternoon, caused an
investigation, and 1t was discovered that it
was escaping from the room of George Cap
man, boarder The door was forced open,
and Capman was found lying on the floor
with his throat cut and blood still flowing
from the wound. By his side was razor,
with which he had attempted to take his
life. The unhappy man is about 35 years
old, and came here from Cincinnati, o.,
some months ago TO obtain employment.
A few weeks ago he secured situation in
the Navy-Yard as time-keeper In the steam
engineering department, but was discharged
last week, when the other men were put
out Not much is known of him, as he
seemed to have no friends here, but 1t is
thought the attempt on his life was the re-
suit of dependency, caused by the loss OF
his situation. Drs. Bayne and Brackett
were summoned, and after stopping the
flow Of blood sent him to Providence Hos
pital, and pronounced his wounds probably
fatal

MEDICINES FOR SHEEP.
Some of the Most Emcacious Remedies
Prescribed by Veterinarians

Some of the Most EfficaciOus Remedies
Prescribed by veterinarians
There are some medicines that may
be easily administered when sheep are
sick that will do no harm and
may do good. The veterinarians, even
when they are competent, do not doc
tor sheep to any great extent and as a
matter of fact the average veterinarian
does not know much about sheep. 1t
takes time to send for advice, and in
the hope of giving aid in case of emer-
gency we will here describe the use of
some of the most common medicines
that are used in sheep practice. For
external astringents a solution of alum
or a decOction of white oak bark or
burnt alum is commonly used. For
internal astringents, opium or two
drains of pulverized alum dissolved in
a pint of hot milk may be used. Thor
OughwOrt tea makes a good tonic, but
not too much at a time should be adj
ministered. Camphor is one of our
most valuable medicines. Dissolved
in alcohol it may be used for bathing
the udder in garget, for rheumatism,
strains, bruises and swellings. Castor
oil makes a safe purgative. Blue
vitriOl is good remedy in the
early stages of hoof rot. Chamomile
may be administered as a tonic and
in lamentations for wounds and
ulcers. The following is a grand rem
edy for diarrhea. 1t is an old English
remedy: Prepared chalk, one ounce;
powdered catechu, half an ounce; pow
dered ginger, two drains; powdered
opium, half dram. Mix these ingredi-
ents with a half pint of peppermint
water and give two or three table
spoonfuls morning and night to full
grown sheep and half the quantity to
lambs. Perhaps the best purgative for
sheep is Epsom's salts. The dose is
from half to one ounce, and some
times two ounces. Ginger is always a
good stOmachic, and when it is given
with aperient medicines it usually pre-
vents gripping. The dose is from half
dram to two drains. Iodine is valuable
to apply to swe1led udder. Lard is one
of the best medicines we have. 1t may
be applied externally in place of oils
and internally it acts as a gentle pur-
gative. Linseed makes not only an
excellent emOlient pOultice but an ex-
cellent Cruel for sheep during sick
ness.
A tea made of pumpkin seed is good
to give lambs when they do not pass
their urine freely. Salt in small guam
titles is a tonic, and so is copperas.
Tobacco may be used in scab, and to
kill ticks, lice, etc. Tobacco smoke
blown into the nostrils will often cause
the dislodgment of the larvae of the
gadfly. Carbolic acid may be employed
for disjnfecting purposes and its gen
eral uses are so well known that
further reference to it is hardly neces-
sarv. These are all ordinary remedies
and may be readily secured. Generally
most of them are Immediately atShand.

DIVIDING THE PASTURE.
why Grass Land should be Given a Chance
to Rest.


Why Grass Land Should be Given a Chance
to Rest.
The pasture is usually one broa6
stretch of land, all of which is con.
stantly accessible to the stock confined.
Not one pasture in hundred, perhaps,
is divided SO as to give the animals
only portion at time. No one who
has ever tried it or observed the effects
of such an arrangement, can doubt the
benefits of change of pasture. 1t is
benefit to the pasture itself, and a still
greater benefit to the stock. Its effects
may not be quite so noticeable on
young stock turned out to pick a liV-
ing; but upon milch COWS that have to
do more than simply hold their own in
flesh. it is altogether different. A
change of pasturage works wonders
with them. In fact, the flow of milk
can not be kept up without an occa-
siOnal change of pasture, unless, in
deed, there be so extensive a range
that only a small portion Of it can be
touched. Take a pasture of say two
acres to the COW, which is about the
average. 1t will be kept continually
fouled over, trodden and picked from
end to end every day.
Constantly close-picked pasture land
is the first to suffer from drought. Ii
has but scant growth to protect its
roots from the hot sun and drying
winds. 1t has no rest from the time
stock is turned on in spring until taken
off in autumn. 1t can not produce well
under this treatment, and is injured as
pasture land.
How much better to keep a portion
of it at rest, or rather, give it all rest
in turn. By dividing it, each portion
could have a chance to rest and freshen
up alternately. The stock could be
kept in one part for two or three weeks
and then turned into the other. A
piece Of grass land that is not trodden
or fouIed over for two weeks in the
growing season, picks up wonderfully.
The rains wash it off clean, and the
grass gets a start so that when the ami
mails are turned in again it is like the
first spring picking.
1t does not cost much to divide the
pasture that is already fenced about.
A very few dollars outlay IN labor,
money, or both, will do it. The actual
money gain in a single season will
usually more than equal the expendi-
ture.-N. Y. Observer.

SCOOPING A CIGAR.

story Told by Young Man Who Wanted
Smoke Very Bad.
[Chicago Herald
az never wanted a smoke so badly inmy
lice,'i said a rather tough-Iook ng, though
we'll dressed young man on West Side
car. "The fact is, you see, he went on, puff
ing at large and excellent Havana, Pm
dead broke. Have been out to the races
for two or three DAYS and wasn't able to
find a single winner. Why, when my
money was near gone [ tried to hedge on
picking horses for place, but they whip
sawed me. Yes, sir, they whip-sawed
me, and I came back to town with just
enough cash TO pay my street car fare.
But how ! did want to smoke. l was
nervous like from my bad luck an feelin' a
little out of sorts, an it seemed to me that
just must have a cigar or go wild. And
l got one. How? Why, back here a
piece there was big man standing close
by the car track as we went by smOkin'
cigar. 1t was a good one, too. l could
tell that by the smell of it before we got to
him. Just then an idea came into my
head, and in the next second it was car
ried out. 1 was standin' on the hind Plat
form, and as we whizzed by just reached
out my right aud scooped that cigar in
just as sleek as whistle. II was a pretty
scurvy trick, / admit, an not such as I'd
recommend friends o. mine to play as a
steady game. But what's poor fellow to
do who's lost all his money on Internal
horses what can't git place? Never en-
joyed smoke in all my life as did that
one, but yOm ought to have seen that big
chaps face as he turned and saw where
his cigar had gone to-"

An Ornamental Table.

The woman who has a small round
or square-topped table with cookbook
ing legs can convert it into a thing of
beauty by covering the top with vel
vet, plush or satin, and then, for a
lambrequin, tack ribbons of various
colOrs, but of the same width. The
ribbons may vary in length, if one
chooses to make them, allowing say
every third ribbon to be a little longer
than the ones each side of it. The
ends of ribbon may be notched or
slanted, according TO the taste of the
owner. A very pretty way is to attach
q gilt crescent or star to point of the
ribbon made by turning back the two
edges and catching them with invisible
stitches.-M T. Star

A Wee Tot Selling Her Hair.
ATLANTA Constitution

I found a sweet little girl at Monroe,
while l was in North Carolina, whose
name was Fairfax Payne. Not long ago
she became troubled because the money
had given out and the little church was
unfinished. So she begged her mother to
let her cut off her beautiful hair and sell
it. She had read about girl selling her
hair for twenty dollars, and at last the
little girls mother consented, and the hair
was sent north to the editress of Hdrper's
IOuug PEG pie with a timid little letter
and the Harpers advertised it and told
how the money was to be used and pub
lished the little girls letter, and while /
was there the contributions that had all
ready come in from the kind-hearted
people up North amounted to over two
hundred dollars, and they are still coming.
