KILLED ON THE STREETS.
Wesley Hague shot lisa Baker With.
out Known Cause

Saturday night about 10 o'clock
Wesley Hague shot lisa Baker on the
streets of Starkville, Miss, near his
street stand. Baker laid in articulo
morris, suffering untold agonies until
l1o'clock Sunday morning, at which
time lie expired.
Baker kept street stand and was a
good-natured, inoflensive man, and
no cause for the killing is yet known,
except that Hague is said to have been
drunk, and his people say that he was
insane from the effects of so much drink.
Sheriff Saunders placed Hague in Jail
to await the action of the grand jury
which will be in session this week.

A Dinner in the Sixteenth Century.

A dinner was givea in November,
1888, by Marcantonio Colonna, Grand
Constable of Naples, on his marriage
with the Princess Orsini Peret.i, niece
of Plus v, at which several Cardinals
were present. On the plates were little
figures of boys holding shields, en- which
were the arms of the guests-so that
they could find their places without
causing confusion-and cupids and an.
gels holding labels, with amorous mot
toes and nosegays.
The first course of the "Credenza-
was of twenty-one dishes, including SAL
ads of radishes, capers and kids feet,
heads of wild bears boiled in wine, with
their shouts silvered aud artificial fire
issuing from them, gar1ished with herbs
and flowers; sailed buffalo tongues
boiled in wine, cock pheasants on their
feet, as if alive, and holding perfumes
in their beaks, and roast peacocks served
with sauce made of pomegranates and
lemons, their beaks and feet gilt and
their beautiful necks and tails displayed.
In the first course of hot meats were
the most delicate birds-ortolans, pleas.
ants, woodcocks, larks, and ''tordi"
| (feldfares); in the second, of twenty
dishes, calves heads with stuffing, roast.
ed on the spit; bologna sausages, capons
stuffed with chestnuts, roast red-legged
cartridges in paper garnlshed with sour
oranges, roast gray cartridges stuffed
in the Spanish fashion and sprinkled
with rosewater. and sweet dish called
''bocchi di dame" (ladics' mouths) made
by the nuns.
The third course was of eighteen
dishes. among which were pheasant:
stuffed with truffles, olives and fresh fen
mel, garnished with sour oranges and
fennel, roast sucking pigs, peacocks
larded with lampreys and stuffed with
trutiles, Indian pigeons, large truiiles
surmountei by imperial crows, tender
crabs, eaten with salt and vinegar, with
q ducal coronet upon each, aud Holsters
crowned with the papal tiara.
The second course Of the "Credenza"
consisted of twelve dishes, among which
were entire trufles served in napkins,
and sweet fennel and thistes served with
butter in silver plates and garnishei with
sour oranges and ginger.
After the dinner was handed round
sweetmeats from different parts of Italy,
such as preserved fruits from Genoa,
which is still renowned for them, ounce,
cheese of Naples, "vascttI,' from b.
logna, "persicata" (peach- chcese), also
from Genoa, little boxes (of comtits)
from the Romagna, sticks OF cinnamon
from Bergamo, and bon-bons from Fo.
ligno, aud Portuguese marma1ale.

Valuable Accidental Discover.

The apparent accident by which some
great sc:eatiic discoveries are made is
illustrated in the case OF the renlrk i5le
disclosure dental science male noS long
since to one of her most ardelt and in
genious votaries, DR.. George Washing
ton Weld. DR.. Weld found out that
the administration of the tincture of
iron, winch is SO universal rene ly
among medical men, and the ravages Of
which on the teeth have been so widely
deplored, can be rendered practically
harmless by mixing it, not chemically,
but mechanically, with Vichy water. In
other words. wherever modern medicine
is known aud practiced, the medical
man who administers his tincture of iron
in vichy will be diminishing the amount
OF work which his dental brother would
otherwise get by some thirty or forty
per cent, all owing to the discovery OF
dentist himself d.. Weld is a tall, de-
bonair man of the world, and while he

FEEDING THE COLT.

The future value of the horse, and his
development depend nearly always upon
the start and thrifty growth of the colts
first year. If his is overlooked or me-
elected losses that can never be made up
will have beginning, which the pru-
dent horse raiser should avoid. Some apt
remarks are made by the Homestead,
touching this matter, which are worthy
the interested attention Of all having the
care of colts:
Western farmers have made much ad-
vancenent in horse breeding during the
last ten or fifteen years. There are very
few townships in Illinois and Iowa that
do not contain one or more imported
stations, and Kansas, Nebraska and
other States are fast learning the advan-
tage of weight behind the collar. But
with the advancement in breeding there
has not come a proper appreciation of
advantages of feeding. The man who
pays SIS service fee for colt and
roughs it through the first year of its
life on So worth of hay and corn stalks
won't grade up his horses very fast. As
much ought to be spent for feed the first
year as the service fee cost. Forty-five
cents is high price for oats, too high
to justify feeding to calves or pigs, con-
sidering the price of other feeds. But
the right kind of a colt will pay dol
lar for e7ery bushel OF oats he eats if
he only gets enough and at the right
time. Put up feed box for the colt
and shut your eyes when you throw in
the oats. No amount of after fee ling
will put the form on a colt stunted the
first year; nothing will so we'll give it
the wellsprung ribs, the round body,
the broad hips, the wide chest, the
smooth coat, the powerful limbs, the
strong, masterful way of going that in
voluntarily brings forth our admiration
and appeals to the pocketboo!l of the
buyer. Feed the colt. Begin now.

In nearly all cases those crops pay best
that require the most care.
A lump of rock salt may be safely ex-
posed in shady spot in your COW pas
ture.
Be sure the cattle are secure. Weak
fences ruin many cornfield and spoil

Don't be afraid of getting up too much

Where one man puts too much work

Should shower interfere with the

pay better than all hands to cut down
unripe weeds in the fence corners and
along the field roads.
Change your pig-pens from place to

Professor Riley, the entomologist OF
the National Department of Agriculture,
in his "lnsect Life" recently issued,
speaking of the gypsy moth, says: "We
are firmly of the belief that an energetic
effort, at whatever cost, to stamp it out
entirely is justified"
If the lawn had in the beginning a
good, rich soil beneath it it may be kept
up indefinitely by the use of wood ashes
alone. The use of manure on the lawn
about the dwelling house is offensive,
and need not be resorted to if ashes can
be had. Apply the ashes with sieve
early in the spring, and once or twice
thereafter if they seem to be needed.

Ala ska's Fur Pr duet,

The following particulars regarding
ihe fur resources of Alaska are given
by Ivan Petroff, special census agent
ior that territory: The land furs ex-
ported at present from Alaska consist

brown; foxes of three or four different
species, including the most valuable
among them, the silver or black fox.

fox; the land otter. which inhabits all
The rivers and streams; the marten or
Alaska sable; the beaver; the mink,
and the muskrat, to which must be
added few pelts of the lynx, wolf,
and wolverine. The pelagic furs con-
sist of two kinds, the sea otter and fur
seal. OF these fur-bearing animals
The fur seal is by far the most import
ant, constituting 30 far as explored and
known fully one half of Alaska's natur-
Al wealth and resources. The value of

during the twenty-three years of Amer

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
\ PLOT OF RYE.

As soon as the fall comes lay off q
plot for rye, to be used as green food
for poultry after other green food has
ceased to grow. 1t is not necessary to
turn the hens on the rye, as it may be
cut and fed to them, and it will also pro-
vide green food early in the spring, be-
fore anything else in the shape of green
food puts in an appearance. Use plenty
of seed, as the thicker the rye the better.

AMONG TIE POULTRY.

A good fat duck makes a nice table
fowl.
Putting sand on board floors makes
them easy to clean.
Fowls require and must have green
feed during the winter.
Begin storing up the supply Of food
for winter.
Begin in good season to get the fowls
to roost in the house.
Two feet is plenty high for the roosts
for the larger breeds of fowls.
BY care in feeding the eggs may be
increased in size and richness.
Before the fall rains set in, store away
. supply of dry dirt to use in the poultry
houses.
Push the fowls intended for fall mar
ket SO as to have them ready early.
On an average the best results are Sc
cured by keeping about fifty hens to-
gether.
Late-hatched pulets will rarely lay
until spring; the best plan is to market
them.
Push the growth of the turkeys now.
With the run OF the stubbleiields they
should gain rapidly.
On the farm where the fowls can be
given a good range poultry meat ought
10 be grown at a very low cost.
Unless the hens are laying more regu-
larry than is usual at this season it is not
necessary to feed literally those that are
to be wintered over.
Even when feeding to fatten it is not
good plan to keep feed of any kind be-
fore the fowls ali the time. Feed only
what they will eat up clean a. each meal.
Give the turkeys a good feed of whole
corn every night now just before they
are allowed to go to roost. 1t will help
to fatten then.
Geese if well cared for will lay three
times year and will lay about one dozen
eggs at each laying. They can be picked
regularly until cold weather sets in.
Nearly all the medium-sized birds are
more active and easier to raise than that
of larger size, while the market prefers
a medium size.
1t is always best in fattening fowls OF
any kind to commence and gradually in
crease the ration until they arc givel all
that they will eat up clean of fattening
grains.
Allowing the droppings to remain uu-
der the roosts too long Is one cause OF
scay legs. The safest plan is to clean
the poultry houses thoroughly and regu-
larly.
Ii the potato vines are sprinkled with
paris green for the potato bug the young
turkeys should be kept away.
When raised for market alone ducks
can be kept with profit in very small
yards. BY Matching them early end
pushing the growth only short time
will be required to make them ready for
markets.. Louis Republic.

1T WAS HUMAN KINDNESS.
An Incident in Which "a Boy, Doctor, and
Two Dogs Figured.

An Incident in Which IA Boy, q Doctor, and
Two Dogs Figured.
On L street, opposite the Ebbiti
House, one day last week, fine Gordon
setter, apparently dazed by the loss Of
his master, whom he was vainly looking
for, ran under q herdic, was caught by
the wheel and his legs was broken, be.
sides beng pretty badly bruised all
over his body ana having cut in the
mouth, which bled profusely.
He lay in the street unable to move
as the herdic passed on, but boy about
l6 years old standing on the corner,
with a great big heart under his jacket
humping away, was ready for the
emergency, and at once made rush for
the sufferer.
The boy had no interest whatever in
the dog. and had never seen him before,
but lie probably had dog at home that
he loved, and was ready to do some
thing for this one.
So he picked him up carefully in his
arms, carr led him over in front of DR..
Stones Office, fixed him as comfortably
on the pavement as he could, and then
went in after the doctor.
The doctor is tender-hearted himself.
and at once responded with arnica, ban.
dages, ETC, aud, assisted bv the boy,
went to work to fix up the setter.
The dog, although among strangers,
appeared to know what they were
about, and he submitted to their minis.
trations with only now and then little
whlmper.
While they were at work friend OF
DR.. Stone came along, followed by his
own dog, also q Gordon, and this dog
at once took q great interest in the
stranger and after watching him and
the workers intentiy for time he
licked the dog on the head and then
crouched down on his stomach and
kuees as close to the sufferer as he
could get and cried like q baby, while
the doctor and the boy were completing
their work. 1t wasn't howl he put up
at all, but genuine low cry of sym
pathy and pain, and he didn't quit until
the strange dog was ready to be moved,
and then he got up and followed his
owner away.
When the bandaging was done and
the arnica bottle was shut up the doc
tor wanted to know what was TO be
done with the patient, and the boy said
he'd take him home and care for him
till he got wei and keep him if the owner
never came for him. Then he picked
up the dog and hailed q herdic going
down + street. The driver first re-
fused to take the dog into the herdic,
but the boy told him herdic had hurt
the dog, and there would be row if a
herdic didn't carry him home. The
driver consented at last. and the boy
laid the dog down carefully in the aisle
OF the vehicle, got in himself, and that
was the last seen of them.
Taken all around. it was one of those
pictures in which the humanity of man
and the inferior animal is put upon the
canvas with touch of tender tints
which makes nature greater than art
and gives those who see it something
they will remember always
his-spclI.
