Plain or figured velvet is much en-
ployed for making the most elegant

is given to plush of all kinds, two of

son of Oliver Grafton, young man who is
charged with stealing 200 in gold, and
in trying TO get out OF the country with it.
Grafton live1 in Breckenridge, Col, and
was married only two weeks ago. He was
employed III some capacity by the Virginia
Mining Company. which is operating the
Ware and Carr enter claim near Brecken-
ridge, and it is cnar red that he has sur
repIIt ously taken nuggets from the mine

How LunatIcs Are Treated In Some Por-

Some
tiOns of Belgium.
The strange colony of lunatics at
Gheel, in the Belgian Campine. has
long engaged the attention of special
lists, and so satisfactory has been its
working that duplicate of it has lately
been formally established. In these
colonies the lunatics are boarded out
with the inhabitants. live as members
of the family, assist in their work, and
The regularity and healthiness of the
life led by the afflicted inhabitants of
Gheel restores considerable proper
ton of them to their right mind.
Gheel. however. is in the Flemish
speaking portion of Belgium. and it has
of late years been found that patients
from the WALTON country who speak
only French or the WALTON patois were
awkwardly placed, and their recovery
retarded by the absence of ready means
of communication with those about
them. The experiment was therefore
made of establishing a French-speal1-
ing colony at Lieurneux. in the WALTON
country near Spa, and it has been so
successful that 1T has now been placed
upon permanent basis.
The cost of pauper lunatics TO their
eommunes does not exceed franc
day. Neither at Gheel nor at Lieurneux
course with lunatics has increased the
tendency toward insanity among the
natives. st James Gazette.

"A pretty addition to a closetless
room can be made by putting up two
pieces of scantling in a convenient
corner, fastening in some hanging pegs,
and draping it with pretty hanging

cheap piece of meat into tender and
palatable eating. 1t should be cooked
in but little water. and the vessel
should be covered to keep in the steam.
1t is the opinion of the most ex-
perienced pig-growers that small pens,
in sufficient number to accommodate
the herd, are preferable to one large
one. Even the yards they run in
should be small, with limited number
of pigs in each.

Few farmers give that attention
to their horses feet that they should
give. Most men rub and curry well
enough, perhaps, and many take great
pride and plenty of time in smoothing
the horses hide; but seldom is it that
they think of that most indispensable
part, the horses feet. and stop to give
them that little attention and inspec-
ton that is almost daily necessary.

A DAKOTA LYNCHING.
A Horse Thief Strung to Tree in the
Turtle Mountains.

BISMARCK, Oak, Sept. ia man named
Wise was lynched for stealing horses in
the Turtle mountains on Wednesday.
Wise was at one time prominent citizen
of Wyoming, and during his residence in
that territory was prominently mentioned
for the legislature.
Private advices from the scene of the
lynching are to the effect that Wise was
overtaken by several settlers who had
missed horses He was en- route to Mani
toba, and it is believed that many of the
animals which have been missed in that
vicinity of late. were taken by him across
the border. He was overuaken in ravine
and at first showed fight, but was forced
to throw down his rifle and surrender the
horses. Then he was driven to the near
est tree and lynChed.
Wise came from Pennsylvania, where it
is said his family still reside.
