Punxsutawney has boy who, when
he reads, turns everything upside down.
Newspapers are his hobby, and he reads
them when inverted best. This peculiar
faculty was not Unborn, but acquired.
The child did not go to school, but passed
the time away in a room, the walls of
which were covered with newspapers.
The latter were generally upside down,
and by reading from the bottom upward
he became familiar with inverted print.
George Broombaugh, a 9-year-old pu-
pill of Mapleton, is an ambidexter of a
peculiar nature. He writes equally as
well with either hand. However, when
he writes with his left hand the copy
book is reversed-topside down-and the
letters are formed in an inverted posi-
ton. When writing with the right hand
the copybook is in the usual position.
All efforts at correction have proved

In certain family, as the Christmas
season came around, it was resolved to
try an experiment. Every member Of
the family wrote out a list of the Christ
mas presents that he or she would like to
get, and hung 1t on the chimney piece
for the guidance Of those who were going
to make gifts. 1t was rather convenient
and nice all around. But young man
of the family conceived the idea Of
throwing little humor into the list Of
things he wanted, and among the other
articles he put down as desirable Christ
mas presents for himself he included
''The Tail of Roberto" Now Roberto
was the name of cat that lived in the
house; and the young man could not pos
sibly have his cats tail for present, be-
cause it was bobtailed. 1t was a fairly
good joke; but it happened that mem
Der of the family, who wasn't very good
at orthography, took this entry for the
name of book, and, having partiality
for the young man, started off on tour
through the book stores in search Of it.
"Have you The Tail of Roberto? she
asked, at a very large and entirely first
class store. The bookseller scratched his
head for a moment, and made answer:
"No; we haven't it in stock just now, but
we can send and get it for you."-Bos-

and often finding them at late day-such
certainly must be the case, else why SO many
bad eggs amongst those "nice fresh country
eggsl" Chickens are one Of the most profta'
BILE adjuncts to any farm, and it is very
easy matter to keep them where there is
number Of cattle to feed.
The hennery here shown was carried outas
an addition to barn at hillside farm, New
Milford, Conn. As the shed below is neces-
sity in connection with barn, and a roof in.
dispensable, the only additional expense Is
the floor, one side and ends, with the interior
fittings, to make a hennery which will &C.
commodate easily 100 to 200. The floor should
be tightly boarded, then covered with a coat
of boiled pitch and tar, on which spread soil
two or three inches in depth. This will give
an elegant scratching and wallowing ground.

Notes ON House Building.

The windows Of the kitchen should be placed
three feet from the floor, 50 that suficiency
Of wall space may be provided. Such height
permits table to be placed under the win
dow.
Speaking tubes save more steps in house
than anything Of small cost which may be
added to it. The amount of running up and
down stairs which they save is hardly to be
estimated. There should be . tube from the
family bedroom to the kitchen, one from the
sitting room to the family room and one
from the sitting room to the servants room,
and, possibly, one from the family room to
the servants room.

Let your barns look like barns, your houses

have your barns be mistaken for houses or
your houses for barns; for such things we
have seen, and it makes US feel as If there

not be built for show. They should, Of course,
be made to look well, and be pleasant spots

stantial manner possible-should be arranged

SUICIDE OF MRS. ouGHroN.
Ihe Widow of the Deceased Printe
Takes Her Own Life,

The Widow of the Deceased Printer
Takes Her Own Life.
Since the death of her husband. which
occurred on Friday, Mrs. w. E. oughton
had been heard to frequently declare that
she would end her life, but friends and
neighbors of the family did not think she
really meant TO do anything of the kind,
and took no special pains to guard against
the carrying out of the threat. But it
seems that the unfortunate woman was in
earnest, for yesterday afternoon she ended
her life by taking large dose of morphine.
1t seem that early in the afternoon DR..
+. M. Clayton was called to the house to
attend sick child-the infant of the FAM
lly. Mrs. Oughton was then lying on a
lounge asleep and apparently under the
influence OF some stimulant After the
doctor had departed she awoke and was
very angry at her friends for not calling
her while he was present
little later she retired to another room
LOT rev minutes, and on returning stated
that she had taken eighteen morphine pei
lets. She lay down again, and when next
seen was frothing at the mouth. The doc
tor was again summoned, and he did all he
could to restore her to consciousness, but
without success and about O'Clock she
breathed her last.
The case s very sad one, There are
i've children in the family, the eldest be-
ing but IL years of age, and the youngest a
mere infant. For several years past Mrs.
Oughton had been addicted to strong
drink, and to this cause is attributed her
desperate act. Under the circumstances,
Coroner Clark deems it unnecessary to
hold an inquest.
The funeral of Mr.. Oughton-which was
to have taken place this afternoon at 2
o'clock-has been postponed until Monday
at the same hour. when the remains of
him and his wife will be inferred together.

in unbroken continuity half round the

Moscow is the Chicago of Russia, where
centers Russian faith, ideas and vast sys-
tenn of railways. The people were de-
lighted with the superb palaces, museums,
halls, and monuments seen in both
Moscow and st. Petersburg, the new
capital on the river Neva. The latter
city is the glory of Peter the Great, who
nodded cities as he did men. The tragic
death of Peters sen was wildly told. The

He was found by Phil Douglass. foreman
of the railroad wrecking crew, who heard
his cries and went to his aid.
The accident happened about opposite

ports as to Just how it occurred. One
gentleman stated that Lucey was on train
NO. l, the East-bound overland. which
leaves at s O'Clock, and that he was Jump

say he was trying to board the train at the
point mentioned, it not having got under
much Roadway. Although conscious when
found, Lucey refused to tell how the acct
dent occurred.
AT all events, he fell with his legs under
car and the wheels assed over his left
leg. just above the ankle, and over the
right one few inches higher, crushing the
bones to splinters and mangling the flesh
in shocking manner
The unfortunate man was taken to the

SWEPT TO DEATH.

George Bird Falls into the Current at the
Paine Break and is Drowned.
Yesterday morning the first casualty oc-
CURED at the Paine break in the Yolo levee.
1t seems that George Bird, one of the most
experienced pile-drivers employed by Con-
tractor Simpson, was engaged in placing an
iron clamp on the head of one of the piles,
when he lost his balance and fell into the
water. The current flows very swiftly
through the crevasse, and he was swept
down quickly and soon lost to the sight OF
his comrades.
William Harness, one of the workmen,
followed the unfortunate man with boat
as soon as possible, but he had gone to the
bottom. Mr.. Harness and others will
prosecute the search for the body out in
the tules, as the current will surely sweep
il in that direction.
All that could be learned regarding the
deceased was that he did not reside in this
vicinity, that he was a widower and has
one son.
