Ouachita Fire Company, i! having
been built on private property, the
City Fathers are casting about for a
lot upon which TO build aud with
commendable progressive spirit are
trying to kill two birds with one stone.

the scheme may materializa.

HOW Discipline Was Administered to a
Suspected Celestial Farmer.
Yesterday news reached the officials
here of summary execution which
took place at Ngan-tong-hien, one OF
the towns belonging to this Flu. A
farmer in that district named PAN
(nlcknamed T'oh Chao, because he had
only a thumb on his left handy was
said to be the head of secret society
numbering several tens of thousands,
in this province and Shantung. AS he
was constantly going to and fro, and
was supposed to be plotting against
the Government, two military officers,
acting under instructions from their
superiors, resolved to arrest him the
next time he returned home.
With this purpose in view, they sur
rounded his house with a band of SOL
dlers, but on approaching nearer one
OF the officers was shot dead, and the
man broke from the house and fled.
He was soon Overtaken and disabled
by a blow from the other officers sword,
when he was slowly tortured to death
by the soldiers gashing his body te
pieces with their knives. They then
tore out his heart and hung it up on
pole in front of his house to intimidate
his followers. Before attempting to
escape from the house, the unfortunate
victim is said to have killed his daugh.

FARM AND FlREslpE.

Many farmers who have planted
orchards on hill-sides have spent much
time resetting and doctoring. Able
writer's say that hillside where the
water runs off quickly is the very
place for the worms to hatch their
young.
"A garden trowel, or a round stick
about one and half inches in dame
ter, and about one foot long, and q
cross piece fastened on top and the
other end we'll sharpened, is q very
convenient implement for making the
holes in which to set the plants.
TO secure good seed corn for next
year the farmer should begin while the
corn is growing to make observations.
de should note and mark all promi-
nent stalks, as the early maturity,
vigor and prolificacy are as important
rs the termination of the seed.
1t is a Southern fashion to cook
green corn in the husk, and I have
never eaten any more delicious. Re-
move only the course outer husks,
leaving on the inner ones. Strip these
down SO as to to remove the silk, then
tie them in place again and boil.
Serve with bowl of melted butter and
season we'll with salt and pepper.
DO not be tempted to grow two
plants on the space that should only
oe occupied by one. An extra unde-
sirable plant becomes weed, and
when the two are of the same kind
they injure each other more than if of
different species, as they demand the
same food from the soil and must strug-
gle with each other.
--Vaseline makes very clean, odor-
less application for light harness, rid
ing brides, saddles, etc. After giving
it chance to dry in, 60 all over the
surface with rag dipped in the white
of an egg. This gives it a waterproof
coating that will last for some time and
prevents tho oil from staining the
hands or clothing. Have the leather
perfectly clean before oiling.
The digestive organs soon get out
of order when grain is fed to the ex-
clusion of grass or bulky food. This is
true of all classes of stock and also of
poultry. 1t is better to feed hay alone
than allow a surfeit ofgrain, especially
in summer. A variety of food promotes
digestion and prevents disease. 1t is
also more economical to givea variety,
as less food is then required.
-Caramels: One and a half pounds
sugar, one cup cream, one tablespoon
butter and half cake of sweet Ger.
man chocolate. Mix all together in a
stewpan and cook, stirring frequently
until done. just before pouring it out
of the pan, flavor with vanilla or
lemon. Pour into a buttered dish,
and before it gets perfectly cold, cut
into squares by running knife up and
down the dish. 1t will break nicely
when cold.
-Parched rice, is very good in the
case of bowel troubles. Roast it to
q nice brown, as you would coffee,
throw into sailed boiling water and
cook rapidly until done. Rice water
for drink is made by stirring a table
spoonful of rice flour, wet with cold
water, into a quart of boiling water.
Season with salt, let it get very cold
and flavor with lemon juice or nutmeg,
sweetening to taste.

1T is easy to make loan-go in debt. The
