friends had been fencing for little
while Castaldi's foil broke through the
doctors mask, infiicting slight wound
on the nose, very near the eye. 1t was
scarcely more than a scratch, and after
putting on a new mask the doctor re-
sumed operations. They had been ''lung-
ing, parrying and getting away for
some moments when Castaldi made a
downward feint, and describing semi
circle with his foil attempted to score a
point. Without the knowledge Of either
of the contestants, DR.. Terry must have
knocked the button off the professors
foil, and the keen point tore through
the thin French mask, struck the right
eye and penetrated two inches, striking
the brain.
The remarkable feature of the case
occurred just at this point, for DR.. Terry,
having fallen to the floor, directed what
should be done, ordered that no doctors
be sent for and insisted upon diagnos-
ing his own case. He felt his own
pulse, made thorough examination of
himself and then calmly informed the
bystanders that he would die, as he felt
certain that the inner part of his brain
was ruptured and blood clot was form.
ing. It turned out just as DR.. Terry
had predicted, for he expired within
few hours of the accident. The dead
man was an eminent physician, well
known athlete, a prominent church OFF,
cial and a popular and public spirited
citizen.

Second Crop Potatoes.

Professor Massey sees possible bo-
nanza for the southern farmer IN grow
ing second crop potatoes, and among
other demands for them he mentions the
northern market for old potatoes IN the
spring, as they would be unsprouted and
superior to green new ones. There
might be greater demand for them for
seed, as truck farmers fino them earlier
than northern seed. Louisville mer-
chants now furnish some Ohio garden
ers with second crop seed, and while it
is less productive than home grown
stock, the. high prices Of the first ten
days of the new potato season makes it
q paying business to use the southern
seed, according to correspondent OF
The Rural New Yorker, who writes fur
ther as follows:
This seed now costs too much. It is
brought north in small lots, and every
middleman adds very substantially to
the charges. If southern growers would
ship their product north in carlots, just
as we ship ours to the southern markets
in the fall and winter, the price and
convenience Of getting the seeds would
induce northern truck farmers to give
them q wide trial. A leading truck
farmer in our market orders them di-
rectly from the south every spring, pay
ing round price, but he prefers to do
this rather than plant home seed and
get later crop. It pays us in southern
Ohio to go north for seeds for the main
crop of potatoes, as they are moro vigor-
GUS growers, and to the south for seeds
for early crops, but half the profits from
this exchange are reaped by railway
companies. They should have all they
earn. but when they take all the traffic
will bear it prevents such an exchange
of products between the farmers of this
broad country as would be advantageous
to all. {

TRIPLES LIGHT AS AK.
These vest fronts and falls of lace and
Grape are pretty in themselves and love-
ly on a woman over a somber or faded
dress. The top one is of null shirred to
fasten atsthe belt and pulled around the
neck on foundation of lace. A half
yard of black lace of any kind that is
twelve to fifteen inches deep makes the
fall.
Those on the right and left need little
description. They are made of silk null
or crepe de chine, as preferred, and bor-
dered with lace. A bow of ribbon
makes them a little more dressy. Other
vests can be made entirely of Grape,
null, or thin China silk. The collar laid
in bias plaits or gathered in puffs, and a
iabot, knife plated, or bias and gath
cred full, can be sewn along the center
of the front. Bows of ribbon to fasten
at the throat, with jabot of lace, are
also pretty and are frequently seen.
The corset waist is great favorite
with young persons, and a novel and
very dainty manner Of making one is to
have the foundation of some rich colored
or iridescent silk, and sew outside Of
this complete covering of point de gene
lace, and frill of the same around the
bottom is an addition. Shoulder straps
are made of silk or of velvet.
The two sleeves show manners in
which one can make an old style sleeve
fashionable with very little trouble.
Lace is even prettier and more graceful
than the dress material, no matter what
it is. The sleeve with the narrow feath-
er trimming gives Russian effect by
being open on the upper arm.
The hats and bonnets are prettier than
ever, it seems to me, and there is scarce
ly one into which lace does not enter as
component part. Lace has soften
ing effect that nothing else has, and
when it is double twisted, as now, with
the loveliest flowers that grow and the
prettiest straw that was ever braided it
becomes a thing of beauty, though a
JOY only until the next season.
One prettyshat for a young lady is in
the toreador style. with an upright row
of gold and black lace, with bow of
golden brown ribbon sustaining couple
of stiff tulips. Others have one single
American Beauty rose, with long, stiff
stem, and no buds and little foliage.
Chrysanthemums or orchids are seen on
others-large single flowers.

DIAGNOSED HIS OWN CASE.

DR.. Charles c. Terry Predicted That He
Would Die, and He Did.
A recent fatal fencing accident in Fall
River, Mass, possessed so many ele-
ments of more than ordinary interest
that it is worthy Of comment.
DR.. Charles G. Terry was considered
the best fencer in southeastern Massa-
chusetts. Professor Castaldi was a
teacher Of fencing, and he and DR..

foot level. A true CITY HORSE.
hoof is usually sound hoof, and this
simple rule is universally ignored. Keep
the foot level; there is the condensed
lore of hundred veterinary colleges in
that sentence.
t'Now, as to the dreadful navicular
disease. No man can tell, or ever will
be able to tell, whether horse has navic-
ular disease or not unless he dissects
the foot. Fully two-thirds Of the al
legged navicular diseases are merely suf-
ferings caused by improper shoeing.
ga city horse, whether for coach, car
or draft purposes, should have three
calks on each shoe, one in front and two
behind. The front calk should be about
half an inch from the toe, and the two
hind calks should be about an inch each
from the end Of the shoe. When you
raise the heel you depress the ankle, and
when you raise the toe you raise the
ankle also, all the colleges and gilded
faculties in the world notwithstanding.
"About spawn? Well, here's my opin-
ion regarding it. It's far too common,
and is brought about by the most cruel
and gross neglect on the part of people
whose duty it is to look after horses. Tt
is absolutely impossible-absolutely i'm
possible-for horse to throw outa spav-
in unless he is too long in the toe. The
prevention therefore is the easiest of
matters.
ga general misconception is the popu-
lar impression that a running or trot-
ting horse lands on the ground fat foot

HOW HORSE LANDS-FRoM PHOTO.
ed. This should be corrected, for man
should know exactly how the foot works.
In both running and trotting, as the
foot lands, first the heel strikes the
ground, then the toe-two distinct mo-
tions, and SO wonderfully quick that the
foot seems to land fiat.
II repeat and emphasize the point
keep the horses foot level. For instance,
strained tendons are most common, and
the horse is obliged to limp, the pain is
so great, and there can be no pleasure in
riding or driving a horse that is suffer-
ing at every step he takes. The most
common cause of distress is the fact Of
one side of the shoe being higher than
the other. This strains the sesamoidal
ligament on the low side. The average
veterinarians will battle and blister for
this. The absurdity of this is evident,
for until the strain is removed from that
ligament all the bathing and blistering
in the world won't cure.
"Many people want to know how a sad
die horse should be shod. Use smooth
shoe on him, one without calks. Have
the foot leveled properly, and do not go
at any pace except q walk on paved
streets; when on mother earth, then it's
time enough to extend your steed.
"a horse should have it's weight evenly
suspended, and none of the sole should
touch the ground. The foot is elastic
and contracts and expands, the frog be-
ing especially porous and elastic. Any
thing that tends to bind the foot is un-
desirable"
Another wealthy horse owner and
horse lover, Mr.. Hermon L. Ensign, said:

like Chinese woman are absurd: those
