The Doctor's statement
TRENTON, Jan. i5.-Coroner Bowcra
continued the Kniilin inquest yesterday
morning. Mrs Ann Murphy, Mrs knit
fins mother, wns the first to testify.
She said that Mrs. Kniflin never had any
difficulty with Miss Pursel except once,
when the latter failed 10 como 10 her
meals, when they had little quarrel,
Tho relations between Kniilln and his
wife were pleasant Mrs Murphy had
no reason 20 believe that Miss piusel nor
DR.. shannon had anything 10 do with
the murder
County Physician Lcavitt, who
made the autopsy on Mrs. kniilin's
body, was examined. Ho found
no marks Of violence, except an
excorintion about the mouth, which was
of purplish hue There were four
scratches, apparently finger marks, on
che chin. The lips were swollen and
might have been bitten. II Roemed that
some volatile substance had been ap-
piled 10 the nostrils, but there was no
odor 20 indicate what Il was He thought
that II Miss Puscl had been chloro-
formed she would recover Ia an hour.
DIR. Coleman, who assisted IN the au-
topsy, testified that he made n careful
examination and found four scratches on
the chin. "The finger marks were 30
close together" he said, "that they ap.
pearcd TO have been made by n small
hand. Indeed, think II would bo al
most impossible for a large hand 10 have
made them" The doctors statement
was the most startling that has been
made since the inquest began.

Dressing and Shipping Poultry,

In New York city there is an ordinance
providing that the crops of turkeys and
chickens offered for sale shall be free
from food and other substance and
shrunken close to their bodies. In the
New York markets poultry is seldom
drawn, while that offered in the Boston
and New England markets is relieved of
the entrails when the birds are killed.
The old New York commission firm of
Messrs. Ward give to their customers
the following directions: ITO insure
highest market prices the poultry must
be well fattened, crops emptied when
killed, nicely and well picked, thorough
ly cooled, but not frozen. Pack in boxes
with layer of clean straw (rye straw is
BEST between the layers of poultry. in
the same posture in which the birds
roost. Mark each box, specifying what
1t contains. Send invoice by mail. Ship
to reach destination about the middle of
the week, and never so late as 20 arrive
on Saturday"
thanksgiving is the season of greatest
demand for fine turkeys. Christmas is
the big season for prime geese. While
the largest sales usually occur during
the holiday season, from THANKSGIVING
on until after Lent, there is brisk de-
mand for poultry. Capons command
the biggest prices directly after the sea-
son OF venison, quail and other choice
game. Many keep their capons and fat
pullets back until about the LIST of Feb

A correspondent in The American Bee
Journal has the following to say on
wintering bees:
have the bees all ready for winter
before the nights get so cold and frosty
as to candy the honey in the hive. We
winter our bees in an underground cellar
40 feet long. feet high and @ feet wide.
with a 6X1 inch ventilator near each
end; also three well fitting doors, which
leave two dead air spaces between the
bees and the extremely cold weather,
withthe mercury often 40 dogs below
zero in this northern climate. When
you put the bees into the cellar remove
the cover and entrance blocks, leaving
only the quilt over the hive. Put two
blocks (2x2 inches and the length of the
hive) under the hive, then put two more
on top, on which to put another hive,
and so on until they are five tiers high.
One essential thing is half inch en-
trance, full width of the hive, and left
open; by so doing there will be plenty
of upward and lower ventilation, and
the bees will not smother or lack in any
way for pure air. The bottom hive
should not be less than ten inches from
the bottom of the cellar. to allow the
foul air, if any. to settle below it and
pass off through the underground drain,
which should consist of not less than
two inch thing. Bees placed in cellar
as | have described, with a temperature
ranging from 40 to Is dogs, will winter
as safely as by any other method, chaff
hive not excepted. The temperature
can easily be regulated by slide in
each ventilator-not toboggan slide,
but IA sliding door.

DRAGON FLY, ADULT, AND LARvE.
devils darning needles, snake feeders,
mosquito hawks and various other
names. The English sometimes term
them horse stingers, and the Scotch fiy-
ing adders. The French speak of them
as demoiselles or ladies, while the Ger
mans have called them "virgins of the
water" These flies undergo certain
changes during their life. The adults
deposit eggs usually just beneath the
surface of the water on some reed or
rubbish. These eggs soon hatch into
small Larvae, which live in the water.

In short time after it has become n
pupa, however, it ascends some reed or
ledge until it is above the water level
and its skin splits along the back, the
adult dragon fly crawls out, suns itself
as its wings expand and finally flies away.
These dragon flies rank high among
the classes of beneficial insects. Both in
their young and adult stages they de-
stroy large numbers of mosquitoes and
similar pests, and they doubtless render
much more service to man than they are
generally given credit for, according to
