trimmer was killed in Denver by a
shock while changing carbons in an
arc light lamp. He was accompanied
by a boy whose duty is TO lower the
lamp. Dawson stood 10 the middle OF
the street ready to receive 1t and afiix
a new carbon. He stood upon piece
of board, and as the lamp neaied him
grasped first one side and then the
other OF the shade. At the same mo-
ment his face became transtixed with
an agonizing expression. As an eye
witness expressed it, HE looked like
u man in fit. His body trembled
and shook with terrible spasms. He
appeared Us if trying to let go and
could not. He gave vent to but one
expression. oh! Oh' and fell to the
ground limp and dead"

Drawbacks to Tobacco culture.


Tho occasional large profits from
growing tobacco were much more
common formerly than OF late years.
Tho business IL no longer confined to
few localities. Even those who
have grown the crop longest and bcst
understand Its needs arc doubtful
whether 1t pays better than the same
labor and care would give In other
crops, to say nothing OF the extra skill
which Ii moro necessary for tho grow
or OF tobacco than anything elso.
Tobacco must have the richest land
on Tho farm, and US II returns nothing
10 tho soil while taking Its most valua-
BILE clements. IL Is hard to keep tobac-
co fnlms from growing poor Thus
the high product OF single acre is
hardly safe rule TO prove Its profit
ablencSs. Much labor and expensive
buildings are required. When the to-
bacco crop is given up much OF the
valuable capital invested must be
sacrificed. Many farmer would like
TO stop growing the crop but his to-
bacco land Is too rich for anything
else. and the rest OF his farm has be-
como too poor for profitable working.

Mark OF Gardening.

In the neighborhood OF cities and
large villages market gardening offers
advantages TO those adapted to the
business. But not more than one man
in twenty will make success OF
market gardening, because only In
that proportion are individuals adapt
ed 10 that sort OF work. The same is
true OF the poultry business and bee
keeping. But there are certain lines
which form sort OF common ground.
AmeEg these Is the keeping OF COWS

cheese on the associated plan, or
where there Is q wide-awake, intelli-
