ago, while practicing medicine in Chi

a hopeless consumptive. An insurance
company in which he carried a $40, 600
policy, believing that unless it could
compromise it would be called on to
pay the claim to his bereaved family,
offered to give him $4,000 in cash if he
would call it quits. The doctor ac'
cepted the offer, went down South, in

A Modern Bluebeard.

A man, whom his neighbors call q
Bluebeard, has been discovered and i'm
prisoned in the vicinity Of Belgrade.
His name is Buja. For the last twenty
years he has been a considerable land
owner and the proprietor of the largest
tavern in the suburbs of the Servian
capital. Buja was living with his first
wife when he made his first appearance
among the Belgraders, in 1869. Two
years later she vanished. Buja adver-
tised for her, paid detectives to try to
find her, and apparently mourned for
her deeply, after all his efforts had
proved vain.
Two years elapsed and he married
again. The second Mrs. Buja lasted
until the middle of 1874. Then she,
too, dropped out of sight. Buja did as
he had done when the first Mrs. Buja
vanished, and was just as unsuccessful
as before. With 1875 came another
Mrs. Buja who could not be found after
July, 1876. In the spring of 1877 a
fourth Mrs. Buia shared Mr.. Buja's bed
and board. She was young and pretty,
and as devoted to her husband as he
seemed to be to her. After ball one
evening in 1873 she started for home
alone in cab. She was never seen
alive afterward. Her husband ran
sacked the country for her, mourned
with unusual vehemence, and swore he
would never marry again.
He remained single until 1884, when
he took fifth wife. He has lived with
her ever since and has had three chill
dren by her. He had bad luck in land
speculation eighteen months ago aud
was obliged to sell part Of his farm.
Six weeks ago the purchaser broke
ground for cellar. Two feet below
the surface he came upon sealed beer
barrel. In it he found the skeleton Of
woman attired in ball dress. The
wrists were tied and the legs were
twisted back against the body. Some
jewelry that had dropped from the wo.
mans neck and ears gave the clue te
| the fact that the skeleton belonged tc
the body of Buja's fourth wife. Buis
was arrested, and confessed that he had
throttled her, packed her in the cash,
and buried her on the night of her re
turn from the ball. His only reason
for the murder was that he was weary
| of her. Buia refused to say whether
| or not he killed his other three deae
wives. The police are having the Buj,
farm carefully examined with pick
shovel and pillow, in the hope Of find
! ing the skeletons Of the rest OF the wo
men Buja is suspected Of having pn

A Federal Election Bill,

The manly and patriotic way is to
frame a measure which will secure an
honest vote and an honest count in
Northern States, and to make that the
law for all States alike. If it con not be
enforced at the South, or can not be en-
forced without kind of interposition
which the Government deems inexpedient,
that will be the misfortune of Southern
voters, but not the fault of Congress.
When Southern States advance one by
one so far in civilization that laws are re-
spec!ed and can be enforced, in these
States also the people will recover their
right Of government Neao York

that the quality Of the milk sold in

Shaken Milk.

Milk is perfect food. The testi-
mony of nature upon this point is con-
firmed by the analysis of the chemist.
Yet cows milk is in bad repute for in
fants, and thousands of adults cannot
drink it without harm.
This is serious matter. Multitudes
of infants are shut up to the use of cows
milk, while it is precisely what many
invalid adults seem to require for the
building up of the starved tissues. The
matter is all the more important be-
cause physicians of the present day, in
stead of Withholding food, as formerly
done in typhoid fever and certain other
diseases, seek to maintain the patients
strength by the use of milk.
In the Medical Record of August IL,
1889, DR.. John G. Morgan expresses
the opinion that the trouble with cows
milk is that it undergoes unwholesome
chemical changes prior to its use.
When fresh from the COW, it is a per-
fectly homogeneous fluid. Within a
few hours it separates into cream and
Gaseous milk, with tendency to still
further separation into whey and curd.
This final separation takes place rapidly
after the milk is received into the stom.
ach, and the curd, in weak stomachs,
hardens into solid cheese-like mass, as
difficult Of digestion as cheese itself.
The original condition and digesti
bility of milk can be restored, in DR.
Morgan's view, by vigorously shaking il
just before taking it into the stomach
and he urges that the milk be slipped
and not taken in large swallows.
Among the casesssuccessfullY treated
by DR.. Morgan was one of y physi
clan 81 years old, to whom milk ha6
always been injurious. The result wa
remarkable. The patients report was

ADMIRAL William Hunsaker, of Anna,
H., who has just returned from Pu-
laski County, reports that colored
farmer who has lived in that vicinity
for years, is turning white. The first
indication of the change was the appear
ance of white spots on his face. These
have grown until some of them are as
large as silver dollar, and they are
still getting bigger. As the rest of the
mans face is coal-black color, these
white spots give him an odd, piebald
appearance. His health is not affected
by the color of his skin, and he is
entirely unconcerned about it.

In real meritorious novelties among
tomatoes the season Of 1889 was prolific.
At tho Popular Gardening grounds at
La Sale, N. Y, where fifty new sorts
wero on trial last season, the Dwarf
Champion produced the earliest good
specimens, but was not SO proliflca bearer
as many of the standard varieties. Po-
tato Leaf gave satisfaction. 1t Is an
enormous, somewhat spreading grower,
producing its handsome and invariably
smooth purple fruit, which is Of good
size, solid and fine favored all throug II
the season. The older of Liyingston's
tomatoes, Paragon, Perfection and Fa-
vorite, also Cardinal, developed their
usual good points. Livingston's Beauty
did not disclose the merits claimed for 1t.
Ignotum and Matchless, being of es-
pecial large size, proved valuable for can
ming purposes. Early Ruby was also
highly priced. An altogether distinct,
unique and attractive fruit is the Peach
lOilito lcplcScHtcu III WIZ Su1 ~ ASPi
from Popular Gardening. When ripe it
drops off with stem left on, similar to a
tree fruit. On account of its shape, bloom
and the beautiful rosy tint on greenish
yellow ground, it can easily be mistaken
for small peach. 1t may sell in market
on account of its remarkable attractive
ness; but being rather soft, although of
high quality, it cannot be classed among
market sorts. The home grower will be
delighted with it.

The Cattle Trade of 1880.

The year 1889 will long be remembered
as the most disastrous to the cattle trade
that has ever been witnessed. The great
est depression was in the best cattle. In
1885 the best cattle never went lower than
So; in 1899 the best cattle often sold for
less than 81. And this in year when
there was o heavier export trade than in
any former year. The number of range
cattle received at Chicago was less than
in 1883 by 80, 800 head. Had not the re-
ceipt of Texans been increased the falling
off would have been greater. Of what
are classcd as westerns there was q
falling off of 100, 900; the Texans increas-
ed 69,7OO. The outlook for this year is
certainly brighter than it was a year ago,
but growers must not expect great adj
vance in prices, says The Montana Stock
Journal.
