in the morning. He got up at usually,
but was not called and oversight himself
When he asked Schmidt why he failed to
awake him; he replied that Emma was
dead and there was no need to do so. He
identified the knife as one kept for cutting
meat in the store; Mrs. Schmidt used to cut
hams with it. 1t was as sharp as razor.
There was also smaller pointed knife in
the store on the meat block.
William Jeanes is n young photographer
who lived next door to the scene OF the
tragedy. He went to bed AZ O'Clock but
was awakened during the night by long
steady. scream, followed by the heavy
tramping of some one on the floor in the
Schmidt house. Immediately afterward
he heard some one say poor thing"
1. The. sounds all came from next door, he
thought. but he could not fix the time, as
he turned over and slept until $50. He
told the family of the occurrence, but no
one Of the seven heard the noise but him
self,
Coroner Broomall described the proceed
ings OF the inquest held by him, and DR..
w, w. Jefferis told all about the post
mortem examination. The latter de-
scribed the wounds in the same vein as
the coroner had done and like him was
convinced that all could not have been
selfinilicted. There were eight at least
on her neck, but he was not satisfied that
NNlC iuuTkS OIL IIle
clothing on the chair backs were, as he
thought, caused by unwashed hands. The
abdomen Of the girl was opened at the ex-
animation and the organs handed over to
DR.. Forwood.
The doctor stated to Mr.. Broonall that
the bloodstains on the furniture came from
below upwards He thought the wound in
the back produced insensibility because
the knife was dull and great force must
have been exercised to drive it to the spine
There was no bruise visible because Emma
did not live long enough afterward for this
to show itself
DIR. j. NJ Forwood then described the
wounds anew, but his views were not diff
ferent from those of his colleagues at the
post mortem. He thought the blood spurts
proceeded from the neck of the girl while
she was held down to the floor and the
knife drawn across it. He further testified
that microscopic examination plainly in
dictated very recent intercourse with man.
He produced glass slides prepared by him
on the day OF the post mortem, December
4th
The, examination of the doctor was inter
rupted by an adjournment Of court.

Woman an Electric Element.

Woman, like electricity, has here tofore been known by effects. Like this subtitle magnetic force, she has deded analysis, evaded control, de- cIined to be driven, readily glowed to enlighten and warm, or flashed glori- ously only to bewilder and destroy. She is the electric element in human nature, the universal element in hu- man affairs. From no interest. great or small, public or private, can we eliminate her influence. and in none can we predict with certainty the character of her manifestation. For good or evil she is everywhere Pour ing out floods of blessed light or black ening with glance and staying with a touch, she at once beguiles and baf- fles analysis, and sets the world. that cannot get on without her. wild with it's problem of what to do with her unmeasured power. Held within the lines of nature, turned with all their sweetness and strength in the channels of wifehood and mother hood, the womanly forces rarely i6iltd pl DSHSiiCSAt aStiou, llhc lue mysterious agent to which we have Hkened them, that works no mischief in its upper world, where it holds storms in check. opens the floods that refresh and gladden. the life below. and keeps the atmosphere pure Of poison taint; attract her forces by the highest motives. draw them to serve mankind through the tender ministry to suffering and along lines of human helpfulness, and the best cur rents Of her being become to the inner world what the telegraph is to the outer. the swift, sure messenger of tho brightest intelligence and the highest affections, the subtitle revealer of man to man, the link between the distant and the near. the interpreter of the divine mysteries of God.
 But the lightning scorches and shrivels the rough or careless hand that grasps it, and sends it's swift shock of destruction through what ever hampers with it's power. And just this is what has happened all through the ages to whatever hand has held woman back from the best that she could be. There can be no shaking of or separation, The at traction that holds the burning hand Is stronger than the hurt. Mary Loioc Dickinson. tn Harper's Bdsar.

WinterinR Poultry.

As to the kind of a poultry house needed. much will depend upon the aumber of fowls you propose to keep, and also upon the amount you desire to spend for utility or ornament Twelve fowls require room twelve feet square. The cheapest and most convenient poultry-house is built of SKA joists for frame, and covered with matched boards. The roof and walls should be covered with tar paper. and when dressed with coat ing of coal tar will be enti rely inn previous to the atmosphere or storm. and will last for many years. build my houses about ten feet wide. with a shed roof. says writer in American Agriculturist, the front posts about seven feet high the back posts about five feet. The front faces south and is lighted with one good-sized window every twelve feet. Most poultry houses have tco much glass. giving too much heat at midday and too much cold at midnight Even with the above described windows. tightly fitting shutters are needed for protec- tion on cold Winter nights The most important matter in connection with pOultry-houses is ventilation.
