THE COLONEL MEETS THE SQUIRE.

TIE COLONEL lEETs THE SQUIRE.
Suddenly, as Col. Quaritch was contem-
plating these various views and rejecting
that OIL the whole he had done well to come
and live at Honham cottage, he was startled
by a loud voice saluting him from about
twenty yards distance with such a peculiar
vigor that he fairly jumped.
"Col. Quaritch, I believe" said, or rather
shouted, the voice from somewhere down the
drive.

my dear old friend, Mrs. Massey, that sho
ought to havo the hill cut away a bit just

few heavy steps the visitor emerged from the
shadow Of the trees into the sunset light
which was playing on the terrace before the
house.
Col. Quaritch glanced up curiously to SEQ

InsiduOus Vehicles of Malaria,

DR.. SALISBURY found malarial fever to
be propagated among persons sleeping
in a room, in the windows of which had
been placed box of earth from msla.
rious soil. House plants cultivated in
pots filled with malarious earth are
constant danger. The germ grows luxu'
riantly in the moisture and warm air of
closed rooms. DR.. Fichwald, professor of
clinical medicine in the University of St.
Petersburg, has given to the public facts
concerning a patient of his, a lady with
maIarial fever, who was easily cured by
treatment when confined to her chamber,
but who quickly relapsed on remaining
during the day in her parlor. This easy
cure and constant relapse went on for a
long time. At last the doctor, having
become suspicious of the flower pots,
removed them from the house, and there
was no further recurrence of the disease.
The effect of malaria on the. nervous sys.
tenn is weakening and demoralizing, and
this should be guarded against by cult
vating the will power. Nervous chills
sometimes take the place of malarious
ones and can hardly be distinguished
from them. Those are best prevented by
good hygienic conditions and by moral
meaus.-HeraM Of Health.

smoke were pouring out of the lower
story windows before the fifty souls on
the upper floor were aware of their dam

in the rear, cutting off escape by the
stairway, and most of the employees who
escaped found their way to the ground
by way of the roof in the rear. Some
we're cut off in the composing room, and
there is still terrible suspense, as several

who rushed into the editorial room were

this lucid exposition of truth, he was
suffered to pass on to other splendid
fields of endeavor with feeling that if
there was anything further to be said
about that phrase, nothing short of the
judgment day could reaveal it. If in
any part of his intellect there spraug
fresh inquiry, unblighted by the trail of
the grammatical serpent, as to the real
meaning of the phrase ''at home," twas
butthe remains of mental glory once
formed in the image of the Divine, but
now crushed and corrupted by genera
tions of grammatical depravity, and soon
silenced or intimidated by legions of
propositions armed with the authority of
8 thousand years of grammatical confor-
nifty.
Athome is merely an adverb of place,
modifying "found," but the ordinary
pupil rarely finds this out, simple and
plain as It is, The remedy for this false
method is in all cases to treat the prepo-
sition as a connection and to find out
what it connects and how. This easy
and helpful change of method in the
schools would go far to lift the weight off
the mind Of the average grammar student
and to clear up English constructions for
him. Children do not complain of
reasonable demands, do not dislike what
is practical, but if they have groaned
and repined and revolted under the old
system of grammer teaching it is greatly
to their credit: Making bricks without
straw is nothing to requiring child to
evolve BRICKS out of its inner conscious
ness! Reformation in grammar teach
ing shall come when teachers. have
learned that there is but little formal
grammsr in English, that parsing should
be sparingly used, that the sense is para.
mount, and that the method Of the logi-.
cal analysis of sentehces is the only
method, especially of an. analytical
tongue. . =. O. WOODWARD

late room, little girl, in touching

A Wife,s Cruel Fate.

P1cKENs O. b., March 6.-News
reached here late yesterdayevening Of a
horrible and diabolical murder. On
Sunday night Tom Pick Alexander, who.
lives ten or twelve miles from here in
the Grow creek section of this county,
instantly killed his wife with an axe.
The focts and circumstances, as told by
one who wat present at the inquest yes.
terday, were about as follows: Alexander
and his wife had had some words about
putting wood and pine on the fire. He
would throw great quantities of wood
and pine on the fire and she would take
it out. Alexander is an invalid, and it
seems that his wife and children had to
gather the wood to burn. They grum.
bled about the wood and pine until he
became epraged at his wife, and, as he
said, she drew stick of wood and at.
tempted to knock him on the head.
Whereupon he picked up an axe and
struck her behind the right ear, which
DR.. Earle says was sufficient to cause her
death.
Not being satisfied with that blow, af-
ter she had fallen, he cut her throat with
the axe, severing the jugula vein, carotid
artery and the neck bone. DR.. Earle
says that by reason of the bodily aflic'
tions of Alexander, his mind has became
impaired to some extent.
Alexander vas examined as witness
before the coroner's jury and said he had
killed her, but that he did so in self de-
fence. He was asked on the stand if he
did not feel rmorse of conscience about
it, and be replied that be did and that
he could not express his feelings.
: The jury rendered verdict in accord
ance with the above facts. Alexander
is about fifty6ve years old and his wife
was about forty. They had several chill

Sick Headache.


: Those who suffer from sick headaches
should correct every habit and avoid all
irdiscretions which they know are likely
to. be followed by an attack. They
should also overcome every arrangement
of the system which exists, if possible.
and strengthen every part and function
of the same. It fact, they should treat
at fint not the head and its aches, but
endeavor to build up the general heath.
In the attempt to do that, they must not
Unfortunately dose themselves with
drugs, but rather depend upon pure air
exercise, sufficient sleep, good wholesome
food, and other measures of like charact-
er. One of the greatest essentials in
treatment. will beEa careful selection of
the diet, and rigid restriction to those
articles Of food which in their experience
has proved the least burdensome to their.
digestive organs. There is no dietary
which is alike suited to all. Each must
learn what and how much is proper for
him or her to eat, and what. should be.
avoided, and those substances which are
known to.be difficult Of digestion; should
never be INDUCED in. While careful
not to tax the stomach they must keep
the bowels active. Is constipation exists,
headaches are quite certain to occur.
Rarely will drugs be needed to overcome
such condition when present. To
drink water freely, especially on rising
and retiring, and to indulge plentifully
in fruits, vegetables, and coarse bread is
the method to pu sue. If a laxative
must be used, the mineral waters are re-
commended.
Under the simple treatment advised,
if properly employed and persisted in,
many who are victims of sick headaches
will suffer much less often, or escape en-
tirely those distressing visitations. Very
few indeed will have the strength of will
necessary to sustain them under even this
simple treatment and trifiDg self.denial.
None want to be sick, and yet very few
will make any great sacrifice to keep
we'll, and especially difficult is it for all
to deny themselves the luxuries of the:
table even if they know they must suffer
for indiscreet indulgences. Some, on the
other hand, will be extremely temperate
and cautious, and yet unusual influences
may be at work and cause attacks. 1t
is, therefore, necessary: to provide against
contingencies, and describe the proper
medicinal treatment which is safe enough
for any intelligent person to employ

He Wanted to be Hanged.

LoNGvIEw, Tex, March 5.-Addi.
tional particulars of the lynching of
young Tom Forsythe at Carthage for the
brutal murder of County Treasurer Hill
state that young Forsythe was actually
anxious to be hanged by the mob. He
made no resistance whatever, and he told
the crowd that he recognized the fact he
ought to die. and the sooner it was over
the better. he was led out into the court
house yard, and, while his mother and
sister were fervently praying for him in a
neighboriug house, he stoically climbed
up the ladder to q large limb. He kept
asking the crowd not to jerk the rope
until be gave the word. When be reach
ed the limb he sat down and asked for a
glass of water.
Young Hill, a son of the murdered
treasurer, went up the ladder with glass
of water, and tenderly handed it to For.
sythe. Another son of Forsythe's victim
then crawled up the ladder aud adjusted
the moose around the murderer's neck and
pinioned his arms. After this was done
said be was ready, and instantly sprang
from the limb, breaking his neck. The
body was taken into the court house by
the lynching party and laid on the floor
in the treasurer's Office on the exact spot
where he killed his victim. Friends of
the sheriff's family came and took tho
body and gave it decent burial.
Sheriff Forsythe was not present at his
sons lynching. 1t is said on good
authority be left town purposely, and was
satisfied that bis son should die, instruct
ing his deputies to make no resistance
when the mob came to the jail and de.
