Upon this matter he says: "The city has
today, at the Diamond Hill reservoir,
about 100 horse power OF water running to
waste that should be utilized for some
purpose, and ii would seem like neglect on
the part OF the City Council to allow such
q valuable privilege not to be utilized in
some manner or form. The subject OF the
city doing its own street lighting has been
brought before a previous City Council,
but Oh account OF opposition was delayed.

lighting and that steps should he taken
at an early date in this direction. rec
ommend that joint special committee
be appointed to investigate this matter
and to report to the City Council at as
early date as possible"
1t is little short OF criminal negligence
to allow that vast power at Diamond Hin

occurred near Spange fourteen miles
from here, yesterday Mrs. James Kir-
kendall, the young wife of an indus
tirous farmer. and her four-year-old
daughter are the victims. The story
is told by the deceased woman's six
year-old son. The boy says his mother
mixed strychnine with sugar and water
and gave it to him and his little sister
and then took some herself. 1t tasted
bitter and he spit it out, but his moth
er and sister swallowed it. They then
went to the woods to pick flowers,
His mother and sister soon fell down,
and were unable to rise. He, becoming
frightened, ran home. and when his
father arrived took him to the spot
where his wife and child lay dead
There is no cause known for the deed,
as Kirkendall and his wife lived happi-
ly. The evidence pointed so plainly to
suicide and poisoning as the result Of
temporary melancholy that no in
quests were held.

rap, particularly the preservers' trust

FOretOld His Illness.

A rather curious story is going
about in connection with the illness of
Sir Andrew Clark. The distinguished
physician had accepted an engagement
to read paper before medical So
ciety on the day on which, as it SUBJ
sequently happened, he was taken i'll.
Some three weeks before the day in
question, it is said, that he called upon
another well-known medical man and
requested him to read the paper for
him, as he felt conviction that he
was going to be i'll, and persisted in
this belief in spite of any attempt to
laugh him out of it. It would seem to
be either most remarkable medical
prognosis, OF still more curious in
stance of the verifcation of a presen-
timent. New York Dispatch.

Dogs of War.

The dogs of war are no more mere
poetical metaphor, but an actual fact.
During tho fall maneuvers of the Ger
man army nine dogs, which had been
in training six months, gave excellent
proof of their utility on the battle
field. The third battalion of Chas-
seurs, which was first to adopt the
new tactic, uses no other dogs but the
Scotch and German collies. They are
chiefly trained to do ordnance duty,
carrying messages from post to post.
ard accommodating at night. Filly,
the choice of the flock, made dis
tance of II miles back and forth in
seven minutes. These dogs are also
trained to hunt up the wounded on
battle fields, and during the late exer-
cises remained standing before all sol
diers stretched on the ground, no
matter in what remote places they
were found, loudly barking, until help
came. They know when to seek cover
from the fire of the enemy, and on
their way to and from outposts avoid
every civilian whom they meet on the
road. This is done with regard to the
safety of the messages which they
carry in little pouches fastened to
their necks.

Commercial Importance of Peanuts.

The peanut has a great commercial
Importance aside from its roasted
state. The seeds contain from forty
two to fifty per cent. of oil, which is
easily obtained by cold or warm ex-
preston. The first method yields a
superior oil, which none but an expert
can detect from the true olive oil, and
it may be used for the same purposes,
both on the table and in pharmacy. In
the latter method the beans are but
slightly heated before being submitted
to pressure, and the yield is much
greater; but the color is darker and
the odor more pronounced and less
agreeable. This second quality of
Arachis oil, as it is known, is used for
fine soaps, cerates and ointments.
Perfumers use it as the basis of their
cold creams and pomades; and it is
also used for delicate machinery. The
west coast of Africa produces an al
most incalcuable crop to supply the
European demand, Marseilles alone
importing in one year over 10, 900, 900
bushels for use in the manufacture of
chocolate, while billions of bushelsare
yearly carried to London, Hamburg,
Berlin and other places for oil. Very
large quantities are grown in India, for
home uses. Brazil, which is the true
botanical home of the plant, does
little more than supply her own mar
ket Besides the use of the vines as
fodder, very valuable feeding cake
is made of the ground beans. It is ex-
ceedingly rich in fesh-forming ele-
ments, has au agreeable taste, a mod
crate amount of oil, and is very di-
gestible. New York Telegram.
