So They We're Married.

Atlanta Special to Cincinnati Enquirer
A romance which has its origin in the
Georgia renitentiary materialized into
fact recently in a remarkable way. Five
years ago Mrs. Rooney and her daugh-
ter Isabella, of Fort Gaines, took a
violent dislike to Mrs. Milllrons, whose
husband was said to be former adj
mlrer Of the younger woman. One day
the two. women, assisted by their son
and brother, set upon Mrs. Millirons
and beat her to death. The son was
hanged in Fort Gaines, the mother died
on the night before her trial. and the
daughter, Miss Isabella, was given a life
sentence in the penitentiary
For several years Isabella enjoyed the
distinction of being the only white wo-
man among the / 800 inmates of the
Georgia penitentiary. The ladies of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
interested themselves in the fate Of the
young woman, and lately induced Gov.
Gordon to pardon her. The ladies put
her in the Woman's home, where she
has given evidence of strong repent
ance. A couple of days ago a new
phase was developed. Dick Davis made
his appearance at the home and
claimed Miss Isabella for his bride.
Dick was long-termer from Bib Coun-
ty, whose term had closed. It seems
that he made love to the girl while they
were in prison together, and he sought
the first chance to marry her. The la
dies who had Miss Isabella In charge,
after inquiring into Davis record, finally
consented to the marriage, and this
evening the event took place in the par
lors Of the Women's Christian Home.

To anyone who would be satisfied
with an unvarying diet of fish and
black bread, accompanied by the best
cream and butter, that can be found
anywhere, it would be easy to satisfy
his wants in any part of the country.
How the cream and butter come to be
so good is a mystery to me, for assured
ly the Finland COWS are the worst and
most scantily fed of their kind. What
other COW that respected herself would
be satisfied with hay soup in which the
water formed so unfair a proportion to
the hay ? The most meager-looking
hay, mixed with dry branches of alder,
SINNERS in huge iron pot, and one
sees the poor beasts dipping their noses
into the unsavory broth and fishing out
it's soddened contents with the evident
relish of hunger. 1t was complained to
me by resident in the country that
cows could not be induced to look upon
sawdust as the staple Of their food
How far he had seriously made the
trial l do not know, but should he ever
succeed, there will be rich prospect
for Finland in dairy farming. -Mrrays

Poison for Insects.

In answer to occasional inquiries. we
give briefly the following modes for APP
plying effective poisons:
Pyrethrum for cabbages-Use a ia
blespoonful to two or three gallons of
water, and if driven on these and other
plants with a syringe or force pump, it
will destroy nearly all insects. The
pyrethrum must be fresh, as it loses by
exposure.
Paris green for various purposes
Mix it and keep stirring with about 700
times as much water. 1t is good for
canker worms, cooling moths, potato
beetles, cucumber bugs, etc. It is only
a partial remedy for the curculio.
Paraffine-Half a teacupful to gal
lon of water, constantly stirred, is good
for scale insects, 1t must be weaker
on young than old, hard bark Kero-
sene emulsion is also good, and it is
made by putting quart OF soft soap in
a gallon of water, which heat to boiling,
and then while boiling, stir in a pint of
kerosene. Another way is to stir kero-
sene with milk until no oil is visible
then dilute with twelve times as much
water.
Paris green, driven briskly with a
force pump, has saved grapevines from
rose bugs.-C0untry Gentleman.

Young's Close Call.
From the New Haven Union.

FROM the NEW maven OulOu
Capt. Young had terribly close es-
cape with his life while at work in 100
feet of water near Faulkner's Island on
Monday. He had gone down to put
chains under a sunken vessel. A sys-
tenn of telephoning has been arranged
for divers, so that by means of a wire
which is inside the air pipe, oral ,om-
munications can be held with those on
the boat above; and to test the efficien-
cy Of this improvement Capt. Young
had new air pipe with the telephone
addition made for use on this occasion.
He remained under the water some
time ana succeeded in placing the
chains under the sunken Helen Angus
ia, when suddenly the supply Of air
which is pumped to divers at this depth
by steam power gave out.
His clothing, which before was so in
hated, was pressed about him. A horri-
BILE death from suffocation or the great
pressure of the water at such depth
seemed imminent. He had strength
to signal the men above to haul him up,
but that was all. He felt himself rising
higher and higher toward the surface of
the water his hand touched the fore
rail of the sunken craft and the horri-
BILE thought Of what would certainly be
if he became entangled in the rigging
overhead came before his mind. From
that time he remembered nothing until
he recovered console usness an hour
afterward.
The attendants of the diver OWNED
something wrong and hauled him up as
speedily as possible. In doing so the
air pipe was drawn in, and the attend
ants saw that one of the brass couplings
of the hose had broken. This furnished
a key to the matter. Grasping long
and keen knife, one of the attendants
jumped overheard as the inanimate
form of the diver appeared, and, as soon
as the surface was reached, slit the
heavy rubber suit in various places, SO
as to allow the air to circulate freely
about the encased body. The helmet
and heavy garments were removed as
expeditiously as possible. and for nearly
an hour the men chafed the hands of
Capt. Young and resorted to other
means to restore him before success
crowned their efforts. He was then
brought to this city and medical attend
ance summoned. The face and body of
the diver presented a horrible appear
ance. The veins were swollen till they
protruded from his flesh, on each side
of his neck at the jugular veins were
large protuberances, his eyes were
bloodshot and bullying from their sock
els, and his entire form was covered
with livid blotches, giving him the ap-
pearance of a man who was suffering
from smallpox.

longed rains, it was less liable to iniure
them after the crops had been housed.
The self binding harvesting machines
bind the grain in tight bundles as rap
idly as cut. Where grass or weeds
abound in grain it requires several DAYS
to dry the bundles, and even then
there will be too much dampness in the
center. This is the reason why grain
sweats, as it is called, more violently
than it used to do. If the outside of the
bundle has been well dried the straw will
absorb supert1uous moisture from the
center without material injury. But
such grain cannot be threshold. excent
with such extra labor, until the sweat
ing process is completed. If threshed
before sweating has begun the grain
will need careful handling, to be spread
thinly and frequently turned, or it will
be somewhat injured. A much larger
proportion of grain has been overhead
ed either before or after threshing than
is commonly supposed. 1t may not be
absolutely musty so as to injure its sale.
but when sown some will entirely fail
to grow, and other portions will make a
feeble start, showing how the vitality of
the germ has been impaired. The
great difference in quantity of seed re-
CURED or sown by various farmers in
dicates more the difference in seed than
in anything else. Some have good sue
cess with a bushel or five pecks of
wheat, and bushel and half per acre
of oats or barley, while others think
they need twice as much as this per
acre. Unless the former are mistaken,
is pretty certain that considerab lie of
the seed rots in the ground and is useful
only as manure. When grain was har-
vested more slowly smaller quantities of
seed were sown per acre, and there
was less complaint of insufficient stand.

How the Cow Cheats,

The old Adam and Eve tendency to
throw the blame of human wrong doing
on the brute creation is not yet extinct.
AS illustrating this fact, New York

up to the required standard" ''The

party. She skins off the richest of the
milk, its cream in fact, in the upper

Sugar in Mexico.

Very great possibilities and very
small probabilities, it is remarked,
characterize the sugar producing in
dustry of Mexico. So far as soil and
climate are concerned, that country is
able to supply the world; in point Of
fact, it does not supply its own con-
sumption. The backwardness of the
Mexican sugar industry is to be attrib
uted, first, to lack of transportation IA
cilities, and secondly, to lack of capital
The business has met with the greatest
development in the states of Morelos,
Vera Cruz and Michoacan, which to-
gether yield about half OF the annual
output. Little surplus above the re-
quirements of local consumption is man
ufactured, except at points distant from
the larger cities and the modern rail-
road lines. The transportation of sugar
on muleb back across the country is un-
profitable, and, on account of the crude
ness Of the usual processes, SO much of
the staple as is exported meets with lit
tie favor in the European markets.
The sugar planters of Tabasco and Cam
peche undertook some months ago to
unite In finding regular foreign mar
keIs, but they have so far accomplished
next to nothing. Efficient labor is
sometimes hard to find, and there are
other obstacles to successful produc-
ton. Brown lump sugar, the staple
article of consumption, sells at
retail all over the republic at
10 cents to Is cents per pound,
and refined sugar from the
United States commands about the
same price. Very little improved ma
chinery is employed in the manufac-
ture of sugar. AS rule the cane is
ground between rollers, turned by
horsepower, and not more than 60 per
cent. of saccharine matter is extracted.
The juice also is not refined, being sim
ply strained and then boiled into a
solid mass. Brown sugar is exclusively
consumed by the Indian population
and travellers rarely meet with anything
else

DESTROYING Potato Beetles.

The Colorado potato beetle is migra-
tory to a limited extent, but it never can
come from its original home except it
was brought by railroads or otherwise
in packages of potatoes. Some have
even thus been carried to Europe in
years when we sent potatoes abroad.
Once in a neigbborhood it is seldom
that any field escapes its visitations. If
the beetles are few in number, field
at distance from anywhere potatoes
were grown last year, and planted very
late sometimes escapes. But it is not
safe anywhere to rely on this. De-
stroying the beetles or poisoning their
Larvae are the only sure ways to save the
crop.

Dr. Karl Won der Steinen has returned
to Germany from a second journey OF
exploration to the basin of the Xingu,
the great Amazon tributary. The
two expeditions, the first of which
was made in 1884, have opened
up region which has been
hitherto terra incognita. DR.
Won der Steinen's explorations and rich
collections will especially interest an
thropologists and ethnologists. In these
almost inaccessible Brazilian wilds he
has found Indian tribes whose
civilization has not yet reached
the stage of the use of metals
their weapons and implements being
made Of stones, bones and the teeth Of
fishes. This energetic and successful
traveller, who is especially distinguished
as an anthropolo2ist, is but 30 years Of

A TIN Butter Package.

M. B. Wood, of Blue Earth County,
Mimi, writes the following interesting
communication to the Country Gentle
man:
Early in 1885 Western paper invited
its readers to give their experience in
making and marketing gilt-edge butter,
giving processes employed, packages
used, etc. The reply of Orestes Pierce,
East Baldwin, Me-. interested me so
that | sent for package Of his butter
and asked him some questions. Mr..
Pierce markets all his butter in
Boston. He uses twelve-pound pack
ages in the form of bricks, each brick
nicely stamped with border and made
to cutinto two square cakes, with mono
gram in the center. The bricks are
wrapped in several thicknesses of waxed
paper. The package is of tin, sheet OF
proper size has the corners cut out and
the edges folded; no solder is used and
the package is cheap enough to throw
away after use. Mr.. Pierce told me he
had that size made for $5 per 1000.
Another peculiarly was in having a
nicely printed slip in the top of each
package, giving the place of manufac-
ture, kind Of COWS MIXED, measures
used to insure cleanliness, etc.
There are ITO sheets of 20x28-inch
tin in box; it is high now-Sl2-but
can usually be had for 80 per box. BY
cutting pieces of paper, buttermakers
could decide on the size of package best
suited to their trade. and with a very
few tools construct a folder. 1t seems
to me that there are some of our friends
who can adopt the tin package to their
advantage.

examples of this pernicious habit. He
