AFTER TEN DAYS MEDITATION
SUICIDE OF ASSISTANT CASHIER

ment.

Joseph Breed, assistant cashier of the
Hartford (Ct.) National bank, went to a
hardware store next door and purchased a
razor. He then went into the bank, and,
in hallway at the rear of the building, cut
his throat, dying in about 20 minutes He
leaves widow, but no children. He has
good reputation, apparently not living be-
yond his income,
President Bolter of the Hartford National
bank publishes statement that he is conf
dent that the bank has sustained no loss
through Mr.. Breed. He promised that if
any loss is found the figure will be promptly
reported.
Mr., Breed, before his death, stated posi-
lively that he had not tampered with the
bank funds. He also made a similar state
ment regarding the funds of Mrs. Jacob l..
Knous who has been in Europe for two
years past and intrusted all her financial af-
fairs to Mr. Breed. He has had various
trusts of this kind, but when all the rumors
are thoroughly sfted, it is believed that his
embezzlements will not exceed 5000, and
that they are confined to two estates. One of
these is the DR.. Taft estate, which loses
about $4,000. Mr. Breed wrote Mrs. Taft
confessing a shortage, and on his arrival at
the bank he found a sharp letter from
the lady. Within a few moments after
reading it he went to hardware store
adjoining the bank and bought razor.
Fifteen minutes later he was dead

Coffee Making a Fine Art.

To make really good cup of coffee
has always been ranked among the fine
arts, requiring considerable skill and ex-
perience. So much so, IN fact, that
many persons have for lifetime put up
with decoction that is coffee only in
name. With proper appliances it is not
at all difficult to make the very best cup
of coffee. In boiling coffee we lose all
the delicate flavors contained in the
berry, and bring out all the noxious
qualities and bitter oils that tend to
make consumers dyspeptic and bilious.
A native of any of the countries where
coffee is grown would ridicule and put
away in disgust what the average Ameri-
can has grown accustomed to as his morn
ing beverage. In Brazil, Ceylon or Java,
after roasting the coffee it is ground to a
fine powder, and instead of boiling, very
hot water is poured through it and fl
tered. This gives beautifully clear
and pure cup of coffee, without any Bit
ter orpungent taste. By grinding the
coffee very fine double the strength is
obtained, making the same quantity of
coffee go twice as far as by the old
fashioned way There is no waste in the
coffee grounds, every available part of
the coffee beng used, and all the food
properties and delicate favors thorough
ly extracted. To prevent the fine
grounds from getting into the liquid
coffee special fabric filter is absolutely
necessary, as no perforated metal filter
can be made fine enough to prevent the
grounds from getting through.-NeV

The Art Of Taxidermy

A taxidermist's is queer place, says
the Chicago Herald. Few people know
how the delicate work OF preserving the
relics of defunct animal is done. The
skinning alone is difficult enough, but
after the "shell, $50 to speak, has been
obtained, the real niceties of the Job are
brought into play. And the greater or
lesser excellence with which the "stuff-
ing" of the beast is done, so as to make
its new outline correspond exactly with
the original, gives taxidermist claim
to more or less fame. The whole inside
of the animal is, of course, rejected,
except some of the bones which are
needed to support the frame properly.
The preserving against moths and de-
cay is done by rubbing the inside of the
skin with arsenic soap, and arsenic
powder is strewn through the inside be.
sides. This arsenic, though inside,
gradually works through the seams and
pores, and stuffed animal is, therefore,
never a safe plaything for child, MOI
for o grown-up person either. --

An Intrepid Young Shark Fisher.

A youngster named George Vreeland,
son of a wealthy Jersey City N. J. } man,
captured a man-eating shark, six feet
long, in New York Bay, one afternoon
recently. He was in a row-boat fishing
for eels when he saw the sharks fin
above the water 200 feet away. He
rowed ashore and secured an old
fashioned harpoon. He only rowed a
few feet from the shore when the shark
came up close to the boat. He threw
the harpoon at it, and the iron stuck
firmly in its back. The shark dashed at
the boat and nearly succeeded in over
turning it, Then the shark dived and
started off for the Narrows, pulling the
boat after it. Vreeland tied the hsrpoon
rope to the bow of the boat and sat back
for ride. Three miles from the Green
vile shore the rope slackened, and in a
few minutes the shark rose to the sur.
face, stomach up. He was dead. Vree-
land towed it ashore. This is the Sec
ond shark that he has captured. He is
fifteen years old. ISmez Democrat.

Peppermint Farms.

The name peppermint" is said to
have been first given to the plant by Ray,
in 1904. Its commercial history dates
from 1850, when it was first grown in
Michham, Surrey, England. 1t is claimed
that Mr.. Barnet, of Wayne County, N.
Y, was the first to engage in its culture
in this country. This was in 1916. In
1885 it was started on White Prairie,
Mich, and is still quite extensively grown
there. The time for planting is in the
spring. The underground stems are set
in furrows two and half feet apart. The
second cropis taken off, as it gets too
troublesome to keep weeds down. 1t
should be harvested when the plant is in
full bloom. The crop, after being
moved, is left to dry in the sun before
being drawn to the distilleries. The
annual production of oil of peppermint
in this country is about 1875, 900 pounds,
sixty per cent being raised in Michigan
and forty per cent in Wayne County,
N. Y.
About 2OOOpounds of well-dried leaves
yields eighteen pounds of oil. The yield
per acre ranges from three up to twenty
eight pounds, or say an average of six
teen pounds. Something like 10000
acres are under cultivation IN this crop.
and $3.50 per pound is calculated as the
cost of production, and margin for
profit. The balance is distributed among
the manufacturers and re6ners. The
range of price in the New York market
since 1851 has been as low as $1.75 last
December, and as high as 81 in March
1885. 1t is rarely below $3.50. In 1885
and 1886 it was over SO. 1t is much
adulterated, and this seriously affects
the genuine article. -Praarie Farneer.

CauIihower Pickle.

Iknow of no nicer pickle, writes
lady in the Prairie Farmer, than cauli-
flower alone. 1t is quickly and easily
made and is generally very popular. 1t
is always well to lay the caulihower
heads for half hour or more into cold
water before cooking to draw out any in
sects that may be hidden within. Boil
the heads whole in slightly salted water,
removing them as soon as the stems be-
gin to be at all tender. Cut them into
pieces convenient for serving and drain
well. Scald just enough cider vinegar
to baraly cover the caulifower, adding
to each pint of the vinegar used, two
tablespoonfuls flour mustard or, if pre-
ferred, less of the flour mustard and
tablespoonful of French mustard can be
substituted. Stir this smoothly into
little cold vinegar first and into the
other when boiling. Let it cook five
minutes, stirring it all the time to pre-
vent its becoming lumpy. Pour it over
the caulifower that has been packed
closely in bottles. 1t is soon ready for
use.

Facts About Billiard Balls.

A New York Telegram reporter is in.
formed by an associate in an ivory manu-
featuring establishment that a new
method is favored by the clubs in the
purchase of billiard balls. "They buy
the balls" he saws, sin an unfinished
state in the spring and keep the material
during the season in the building where
the balls are to be used. In the fall these
blocks are brought back and turned and
finished.
''Half dozen sets of billiard balls and
two pool sets may be about the average
supply required by club.
Ivory is very sensitive, and it is
necessary to be careful about sending out
balls in cold weather. No guarantee is
placed on ivory at all. When cracked
and unfit for use the balls furnish small
articles like dice. The small tusks are
always cut up for billiard balls The
centre of the tusk goes through the cen
tire of the ball for the better preservation
of the spherical form. The material is
received here from the London market
in the form of blocks. The parts
trimmed off in the lathe are sold as ivory
scrap for making lamp black.
"Any present substitute for ivory
lacks the elasticity of this material, and
is duller on the table. Ivory is used in
all the best clubs and hotels. The
Zanzibar variety is most valued for
balls. When well seasoned these will
retain their form for six or eight months :;
if not well seasoned it does not take any
length of time for them to get untrue.
I'm sending out balls we have them
carefully wrapped in wadding in the
boxes. after they are finished with sweet
oil, and it is we'll to have them afterward
kept so, when not in use. If used every
night it is advisable to have them rubbed
with sweet oil as often as three times a
week. A window should never be opened
on billiard balls when the room is warm.
These balls you see, cracked entirely
through from one end to the other, show
the effect of temperature on ivory.
GAS a result of caution the Union
Club now loses no balls. One man cares
for them thoroughly. The regulation
size here used is "a for almost every bill
lard room in the city. Balls exported to
the West Indies reach as high as 81
inches diameter. The orders are given
for ounces. The tables and cues of
Cubans and Spaniards are correspond.

TINCTURE or ACONITE IN SODA
FATAL ERROR OF A CLERK IN AN
APOTHECARY SHOP.
Two Boys of Bradford CT, Given

While Horace Bishop aged 10, and Charles
Applebee, aged 10, both of Branford, Ct,
were driving through that town, they stopped
at the drug store of Robinson and Foote and
called for soda water, which was given them
They drove off, but shortly afterward re-
turned in very sick condition. They were
taken to the office of DR.. w. H, link, where
both of them died in about half an hour. In-
vestigation revealed the fact that tincture OF
aconite had been mixed with the soda water,
instead of syrup. Robert j. Latta, the clerk
who made the fatal error, has been arrested
and the coroner will investigate the case.
