EARLY RISING.
Much Of the raIk About 1t Declared to be
MOOnshiue.

Most of the talk about early rising is
mOonshinc If the habit Of turning out of
bed in the middle of the night suits some
people, let them enjoy it. But it is only Il
folly to lay down a general rule upon the
object, says n writer in the Domestic
iOnthIy. Some men are fit for nothing
all day after they have risen early
every morning The energies are dead
cned, their imaginations are heavy, their
spirits are depressed. It is said you can
work so well in the morning. Some peO-
pie can, but others can work best at night;
others again, in the afternoon. Long trial
and experiment form the only conclusive
tests on these points We all know the

NEW DEVELOPMENTS.
Facts Regarding the Benweu Tragedy just
Come to Light.

WOODSTOCK. Cal. March S.-New and
sensational developments are cropping up
in connection with the Benwell tragedy,
and the question is now whether there
has not been at least two victims. Two
or three years ago a young EngiiShman,
Nevill H. Pickthall. came here and pur-
chased farm SIX miles south of here,
and about four months ago married a
daughter Of 4 minister. On Feb. 10.
Pickthall raised $4,000 ON a mortgage on
his farm and left there,
saying to his wife, Il am going to double
this money before | come back" He was
seen at Niagara that night and said that
he was going to New York to meet his
sister. The testimony III the Burchell ex-
animation showed that he reached New
York and there met Burchell. Since then
no trace of him has been received from
him. The theory now is that he was en-
ticed to New York by Burchell with the
expectation of making large sum of
money and was put out of the way for the
money he carried with him.
PRINCETON, Ont. March S.-The in
quest on the remains of Benwell was re-
sumed this morning Kelley. the young
man who accompanied Benwell and Bur
chell to this country. told the story of his
acquaintance with Burchell and Benwell nj
Niagara Falls.
The cOrouer's jury rendered verdict
finding that Bonwell came to his death at
the hands of Reginald Burchel. and they
lmpllcate his wife as having a guilty
knowledge of the crime after its commits.
