Four Suicides in One Day.

Four suicides occurred recently in ons
day in New Orleans. John Gross. a gar
dener, lost money by growing flowers,
became reduced in circumstances and
grew desperate. He was found dead in
his bed, bullet through the brain and
the pistol still in his hands. Mr.. Noel
ST. Martin, of one Of the Oldest and most
illustrious creole families in Louisiana,
formerly large sugar planter and very
wealthy man, but being much reduced In
circums tances lately, lost his position as
inspector at the water works, which
seemed to greatly discourage him. He
started out to visit some relatives
and was found shortly after in an
old shed, having shot himself through
the heart Joseph Marcus, a young
Hebrew, keeping a small dry-goodf
store, invested in a gambling house. The
closing of the gambling saloons by the
nolice threatened to cause the loss Of his
money and greatly disturbed Marcus.
AS he was passing the parish prison he
drew his revolver and blew out his brains
in full view of the officers there. Pony
White, ex-steamboat engineer and GAM
bier followed suit, but went by a differ :
ent route, taking twenty grains OF NOR
mime. Cause the same as others-shori
funds, financial embarrassment and de-.
gpondency.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

1t takes a man. in the strongest
sense of the word, to be q farmer.-.
Farm, Field and Stockman.
Seed wheat and seed corn should
be thoroughly dry and kept in dry

dry seldom freezes unless exposed to-
very severe cold.

The application Of potash salts tc
fruit trees and vines seems to give bet
ter results than ashes. The question
to be considered in this connection is
whether the potash Of the ashes first
forms a salt with the acid Of the soil
before being utilized by plants. The
potash salts usually give immediate
results, which is not always the case
with ashes.
The Farm and Home says when
farmers learn to look upon COW as
wonderful and delicate piece of mech
anism, they may expect a revolution
in dairying. A manufacturer can not
feed shoddy into machine and get
broadcloth; no more can dairymen
| feed poor food or swill and get good
| butter. Never build a silo near the
cow stable The odor will faint the
milk by being breathed by the COW.
Fish Salad. - Cold boiled or
steamed fish or any description ray

IT is not to be doubted that the Nor
mon problem is in course of gradual
solution. The courts are doing con-
siderable, and the schools still more,
to create a sentiment of hostility to
polygamy in Utah, and the church
leaders are losing their influence for
mischief A system of evil that has
existed so long and that involves so
many social and material interests can
not be destroyed at a blow, but the
question Of its final overthrow by the
means now operating against it is one
