CHAINED FOR fluffy YEARS.
A North Carolina Idiot Who Possessed
Wonderful Strength

CHARLESTON, IN. Clay Hill died few
days ago at his home, five miles above
Trinity College, this State, aged 20 years.
He was a most remarkable character. He
was born an idiot, but since infancy has
possessed physical strength to a rare
degree. and was we'll formed in every par
ticular, with the exception of his head,
which was so extremely ill-shaped as to
give him more the appearance of a beast
than of man. When but child he was
often so violent that it was necessary to
chain him to the floor. Notwithstanding
this unnatural existence, he grew and
strengthened day by day, until his
chain was not sufficient to hold him. and
two or three times he broke loose and fed
to the woods. During his brief liberty he
was as violent as a tiger, and it was diff
fcult to recapture and return him to his
place Of confinement. He was fastened
with stronger bonds, and, with the ex-
ception of a few days, he remained chained
to the floor in the same room for about
fifty years. He had an insatiate desire for
tearing to pieces anything that he could
get. and at times it was impossible to keep
him clothed Flax was spun up into
coarse. strong threads and woven into
cloth, which was doubled and quilted and
made into garments for him, but with his
teeth and his talon-like fingers he tore them
into threads He has been known to tear
to pieces a solid stick of hickory wood with
nothing but his teeth and fingers. He ate
as ravenously as hon, and could drink,

How long will human body remain in

Does it Hurt Him.
Indianapolis News.

Does dismembered limb retain sensi-
tiveness? Many persons hold firmly that
it does Their belief is apparently sus-
tanned by those strange and vivid imagin-
ings of persons who have lost hand or
foot. and declare positively that they have
feelings In the fingers or toes of the lost
member. The phenomenon, however, has
been explained in scientific way. Such
cases are frequent, and Edgar Bergen, a
twelve-year-old boy who lives at $40 West
Michigan street, is an example. The
other day he was taking ride on the cars
in the Big Four yards when he slipped
He was dragged some distance, but could
not maintain safe position, and his left
foot was cut off above the ankle, remaining
III the shoe. The boy was taken home,
and his leg was amputated just below the
knee. The foot was taken to Crown Hill
and buried in a lot near his mother grave
The little fellow bore his pains bravely and
never lost consciousness, but he complains
frequently that the toes of his dismembered
foot are cramped, and the foot seems still
to be in position The foot was placed in
a cramped position in the box in which it
was buried and a member of the house
hold declares that this accounts for the
boys sensations, and recalls cases which
she thinks confirm this view There is
some thought of exhuming the foot and re-
burying it with the toes straight.

A VERY DRY TOWN.
Extraordinary Scenes at the Opening of a
Lowell Saloon, the Only One in Town.

Probably no city or town in the country
ever witnessed such scenes as were enacted
at Dracut at the opening of the only saloon
in the town, to run which the proprietor,
John Lannon, paid a license fee of Sc, 900.
It seems, says a Sun correspondent, as
though the entire city of Lowell had eDlpti-
ed its dry citizens at the saloons doors.
Two Lowell policemen were placed at the
doors in the forenoon in anticipation of a
crowd, but before night there was work
enough for fifteen of them. When the
mills in this city closed at noon a rush for
Dracut began. Within an hour the cleo
trio railroad doubled its car service, and
every fifteen minutes two cars, in which
men were packed like sardines in box,
started from Post Office Square for ORA
cut
The saloon is one-story structure,
about forty feet long and fifteen feet wide.
It has one entrance. The crowd became so
great that the room was filled with men
standing six feet deep before the bar call
ing for beer. No one could get in, nor
could those who were in get out. The 20
licemen were finally called upon to clear
the room. Then regular system was
adoped. Enough to fill the saloon we're adj
l11UUeu anu UllS uOOIS were ClOSUu. l. 1T
thirsty crowd was thus filled up and fired
out. Then another crowd was admitted
and similarly treated.
The process was too slow for the crowd
in waiting, and they pushed against the
doors till they burst. Hats flew off and
were crushed, men came out of the crowd
with clothing torn and buttons gone. Then
line was formed, and it reached several
hundred feet down the dusty road The
barkeepers hustled around in vain en-
deavors to serve the crowd. Some paid
for their drinks and others did not. They
climbed into the windows, squeezed by the
police, and acted as though their lives de-
pended on getting drink. Mr. Jensen,
the proprietor, looked on Disguised, and at
6 o'clock he had seen enough. The doors
were closed by his orders, and the bar
keepers, after cleaning up, were sent home.
The policeman remained to keep order in
the village, but no more liquor was sold.
Still, up to late hour, the street railroad
continued to dump car loads of thirsty and
curious individuals into the little town.
In spite Of the crowd and the drinking,
very little drunkenness was apparent, but
the scenes paraIyzed the country people
with wonder.

Matching Eggs.
Rural New Yorker.

We wish our experiment station would
tell US something about the best treatment
for Matching eggs that have been sent long
distances by express. There is quite a
mystery about this matter The trans
portation of the eggs by rail or road does
not necessarily injure them for Matching
Eggs are frequently sent across the ocean
or from one end of the country to another
and still hatch well enough. In other cas-
es, even after a short journey, the eggs
fail to hatch, although the sender
knew they were fertile and the buyer used
all reasonable care in handling them.
There in nothing in the poultry business
that proves more unsatisfactory than this
selling eggs for Matching, and buyers and
sellers alike would be only to glad to know
how these transported eggs should be treat
ed in order to insure the best possible re-
suits. The most reasonable explanation
that we have seen for the failure of trans
ported eggs to hatch is that during the
journey the layers of the eggs are shaken
up and mixed together. By setting the
eggs stand for few days after receiving
them, turning them once each day, they
may settle back to their proper con-
dition. Many poultrymen believe in this
theory and advise their customers to treat
their eggs in this manner, but with all the
advice we can obtain, there is much dis
satisfaction with transported eggs.

ROBBERS ON BOARD
a Party of Masked Men Go Through a Pas
Seuper Train

senger Train.
ST PAUL.-The Northern Pacific east
bound passenger train which arrived
here Sunday night was robbed by masked
men near New Salem, n D., Saturday
night. The engineer and fireman was sur
prised by two masked men climbing over
the tender, and with drawn revolvers COM
handing them to stop the train. They
commenced firing and the command was
obeyed. The express messenger, hearing
shots forward, and suspecting something
wrong, took $500 In money from the safe,
locked the small safe. put out the
lights and ran back to New Salem The
mail car was attacked by the robbers and
number of registered letters were ri1ed The
men then fed.
Searching parties are still out after the
robbers who went through the Northern
Pacific train at New Salem. If caught
they will probably be lynched. Express
Messenger Angevine, whose presence of
mind saved the express companv's treas
ure, shipped his treasure box to st. Paul
this morning. 1t contained from $4,000
to Is, 900 in money. The express company
lost nothing, but will offer big reward
for the arrest and conviction of the rot
bers.
Postal Inspector Walking, of Washing
ton, D. c., happened to be in town and is
now working up the case. The seven reg
istered pouches are estimated to have con-
tanned $1,000. The robbers compelled the
mail clerk to empty the registered pouches
into one large mail sack. He had hidden
some forty loose registered packages, but
was compelled to produce them.
The whole country is thoroughly alarmed
and it seems almost impossible for the
robbers to escape.

Manuring Meadows.
Philadelphia Record.

The constant moving of the meadow
sooner or later causes them to fail. It i:
seldom that a farmer viii spread man
ure on the meadow as long as his corr
land needs it, 1t is surprising how some
meadows have been capable of providing
grass and hay for many years with the
treatment received, but it is safe 10 say
that the meadow pays as well as any Other
land on the farm. it depends upon The
kind of soil, however, but meadows are
usually in Che valley, where the land re-
ceives the washings of the upland. and
where moisture is more plentiful than on
other locations. The meadow deserves a
treatment peculiar to itself. 1t is the re.
suit of the adoption of grasses to the soil
for the varieties best suited will crowd out
the others and usurp the land, which is
one of the reasons why meadows do not
run out as soon as pasture grasses that
are seeded down occasionally. A good
meadow is one that has thick sod. and
which may be said to be permanently es-
tablished.
Not only does the moving of the mead
ow for hay deprive the soil of the ele-
ments of fertility, but the same occurs
when the cattle are allowed to Craze on it.
Every pound of meat and milk sent to
market carries in its composition the rich
es of the meadow, and though the process
be slow one yet time is sure to come
when the grass will be less nutritious and
its growth less rapid. Then will the cat
tie use only that which is the most
succulent and nourishing, leaving the
more undesirable grasses to take possess
sion, along with weeds, until finally the
meadow must be plowed and seeded down.
in order to change the variety of food pro
duced by it. It fails to produce sufi-
cient green food, and it yields sparingly
of hay.
The liquids from the stables are used
for renewing the meadows by some, but
this is not always done to advantage

ly spread over the meadow every fall and
fertilizers applied also if necessary All
grass lands are benefited by lime and pot
ash, but where the milk and beef take
away the fertility, the loss is more in nj
trogen and phosphoric acid than in potash,
the lateer Astounding more largely In the
manure. Superphosphates, or ground
bone, containing fair percentage of nitro
gen, should show marked effect on mead
ows that are used for pasturing, and a
yearly application of 400 pounds of such
fertilizers per acre should keep the grass
in a good condition if the season is favor
able, especially if applied on the land in
the fall as the rains will carry it down
before spring. The use of fertilizers con-
tanning nitrogen and the phos-
pilates should not deter farmers from the
use of lime and ashes, however, especially
if no manure from the barn-yard is APP
piled. There is no reason for failure of
meadows if they are supplied with the
plant food necessary for sustaining the
heavy demands usually required of such
land.

THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW.
1t Can Have No Effect in Giving the I'm
employed Work.

Whatever may be said for an eight-hour
day of labor land | have conceded that not
little may be urged in favor of reduction
of the working day in many trades at
least), the plea derived from its imagined
effect in setting the unemployed at work
is utterl fallacious. The failure of en-
ployment for a certain portion of the
population is not not found at all in the
fact that those who are employed work as
long as they do. The longer and harder
a man works, within the limits of his
strength, the more work he makes for
others; since with every stroke he is pro-
ducing that which is to become a part of
the means of employing other labor.
The reason why, in ordinary seasons,
there are any persons unemployed is found
partly in the immobility of the laboring
technical education, in visionary and i'm
provioent habits, or in the accidents of life
and the general hardship of the human
lot. In even greater part, the reason is
found in the fuctuation of production and
trade, due to the worldwide extension of
the division of labor and the consequent
extreme localization and intensifcation of
industry This is the price which man
hlhu AidNC W pay IOl OllC cuOIu lOuS du-
vantages Of the extension of the principle
of the division of labor.
The evil is not to be cured, in whole or
part, by an eight-hour law. fit were true
that only four-ffths of the population are
employed at ten hours, and if. by an eight
hour law, the other fifth were as proposed,
brought into the factories and workshops,
every cause which now operates to produce
fluctuations in industry and trade would
continue with undiminished vigor; produc-
tion would still gather itself into great
waves, periods of highly excited activity
being followed by intervals of deep de-
preston; markets would still at times be
glutted, and factories would have to be
closed to allow the surplus stock to be
cleared off
The spread of intelligence the general
and technical education of the people, the
promotion of the habits of frugality and
temperance, and not eight-hour laws, are
the proper means of removing the painful
congestions of labor and for reducing to a
minimum the evils of that spasmodic and
intermittent production of wealth which
characterizes the industrial and commercial
world of to-day, and which must continue
to characterize the industrial and COM
mercial world until mankind get ready to

neighborhood production of former age

The Strawberry.
Boston Transcript

The rose, the apple and the strawberry
seem especially intended by nature for the
use and pleasure of mankind Not only
and the grateful flavor of the other point
to this, but the very wide distribution of
each over the face of the earth as we'll as
their great susceptibility to improvement
and adaptation under the fostering hand
of man, seem to indicate unusual designs
in this direction. The strawberry is, per
haps, the most universally Acceptable of
the many delicious fruits intended for the
human palate. Some variety of it is found
growing wild in nearly every part of
Europe, many of the finest sorts are in
digenous to North and South America, and
even India has native variety, though of
slight food value. Since the cultivation of
the strawberry began, moreover, it has
adapted itself readily to nearly all climates
and soils. no other fruit, probably, being
now as widely disseminated.

that from the market, lies in the mingling
of the various kinds, thereby bringing out
by contrast the subtle variations for
