Detectives of Tillie Smiths Murderer.
 All newspaper readers will remember the celebrated Tillie Smith murder in New Jersey. Tillie Smith, young serv- ant girl, was killed in defending herself against some man whom the police gave up all hope of discovering. James Creel- man, of The World, and CIV. Tyler, of The Sun, worked together as detectives on the case. They convicted Titus, the janitor of the institution where Tillie Smith lived. He was sentenced to be hanged, but the sentence was afterward committed to imprisonment for life
 In addition to the good detective work which these two brilliant reporters did they wrote such simple, touching. straightforward accounts of the girls heroic defense and atrocious death that the fearful public subscribed plenty of money to erect monument to Tillie Smiths memory. This was probably the first money ever put up in honor of 9 murdered servant girl. It was cer-. tainly 8 creditable monument to human sympathy.-New York World.

Few will accuse me of lack oi deliberation in statements and opinions give it as my profound conviction that the cause of Christ has in these days of a great emergency no more loyal, intelli- gent, aggressive ally than the white rib bon army in this and other lands. be- lieve we have but seen the first faint streaks of it's dawning brightness and power. Happy are those who early es- poused it's cause, and who, in these days of it's onmarching growth, hold the place of honor amongst it's pioneers and vet erans Happy the young men and young women who rally to it's standard, singing their battle song,
 "We are coming to the rescue of purity

 And for winsom token, we wear the rib

 A thousand blessings on those true cit izens whose votes are their oath of alleg- lance to God and country; the "sacra- mentum" of new crusade.
 Those in England who stand by and watch this great fight between the home and the liquor traffic in your country, feel that sanctified politics is the one thing that America needs, and that the white- ribbon women are leading the way to this blessed change. do feel so strongly the fatuity of the position that draws a line between politics and religion; for the teaching of the church of the future will surely be that the casting of a vote is to each individual soul as solemn responsi- bility before God as any other religious command or ordinance.

What Ouieksand Ts.

fhe reason person sinks in quick sand is because the latter is composed chiefly of small particles of mica mixed largely with water. The mica is so smooth that the fragments slip upon each other with the greatest facility, so that any heavy body which displaces them will sink and continue to sink until solid bottom Is reached. When particles of sand are ragged and angular any weight pressing on them will crowd them together until they are competed into solid mass. A sand composed of mica or soapstone when mixed with sufficient water seems incapable of
 such consolidation. Free Press.

moulding of the yellow balls, all the im- Iprovements in butter-making appliances used in the modem cooperative cream cries are brought into requisition. The butter is the finest in the market and 1t all goes to private customers, the only difficulty being that the demand is always gleater than the supply, and uniform price of 30 cents per pound the year round is obtained for it.
 Of course, thirty pounds of butter at 3H cents pound makes a nice little daily, revenue for one farm, but this isn't all. Each day, after the cream is taken off, 250 quarts of sweet creamery milk re- mains, and this, in Willimantic, readily brings 9 cents a quart, and is delivered daily to customers there. This brings the daily revenue of this not over-large farm up to the handsome sum of $15. This, of course, is not all profit, for each COW re- ceives daily of the sweets of COW life, six quarts of feed, composed of equal parts of gluten meal, fine feed and oatmeal, be- side their regular fodder of hay and en- silage in the winter and pasture feed in the summer.
 No expense is spared for the comfort or the COWS and to encourage them to pro duce the best in kind and most in quan- tity. They are not even allowed to drink cold water. A large tank of water con- taining many hundred gallons, is kept constantly warmed by a water heater at the house, and the water in the drinking trough is raised to the proper tempera- ture by drawing from this tank, through nearly 200 feet of pipe MT. Potter's dairy herd has, among various others about the state, been recently submitted to tests by the Storrs Agricultural school, and show ed the highest percentage of butter of any herd examined.
 This article is not written to advertise MT. Potter. He does not need~it and is adverse to publicity; but to show what can be accomplished on thousands of oul New England farms, even under load of debt, by conducting them solely for dairy purposes. In MT. Potter's case there has been definite object in view. Nothing but the best in feed, in appliances and in produce, has boen the motto. A custom er once obtained never leaves him. his product is always in tasty and clean package, and the measure and weight are always little over rather than under, not often the case. He is able to select his customers and has no uncollectable bills. His success is not the result of unlimited means to do with. or of theoretical or book farming, but rather of practical ex- perience and a determination to accom- plish only the best results.

 A MODEL DAIRY FARM.
What Potter Has Done Many Others
 Might Do.

I
 The meeting of the Connecticut Dairy
 mems Association at Hartford this week
 would be of little worth if it did not stim-
 ulate discussion and call out information of interest both to the producer and con- sumer of butter.
 The Courant correspondent visited dur ing the past week the dairy farm of f''Nathan D. Potter in the southern part..of the town of Coventry, about four miles west of Willimantic. It is truly a pleasure to make public what..has been accomplished by him and what may also be accom- plished by any thrifty, energetic'and'push- ing young farmer on the many naturally good, but now somewhat rundown New a few miles of thriving and bustling city.
 MT. Potter1 came to this city about fifteen years ago and engaged in the meat business, having charge. of the linen con- pany'slmarket. Firing of that, he went into the far west and engaged in horse and cattle raising, but this was not alto gether to his taste and he returned east and attempted to run livery. Six months experience.at that convinced him that he had not yet found a vocation. About this time, the farm which he now occupies was offered for salc at @ moderate price. It was naturally good farm, but for many years it had been conducted hy widow with the purpose of getting living from it instead of carrying it on for profit.
 MT. Potter bought the farm and set to work, not only to get living, but to make fortune. The farm contains about 140 acres, sixty of which are tillable. Most of this tillable land lies in the valley of the Willimantic river. The buildings were considerably run down. So, in the beginning of 1887, MT. Potter started with six cows, pair of good horses, a good sized mortgage, stout heart and de- termination to succeed.
 A comparison between then and now must convince the most skeptical that his success has been almost phenomenal. Meat peddling, market gardening and wood hauling with farming, he finally set tied down to dairy farming and devoted his entire energies to that one branch. He increased the number and improved the quality of his COWS as fast as possible, generally selecting Jerseys for their but ter-producing qualities; rebuilt his barns and made them convenient and warm, and built silo of 120 tons capacity so that to-day visitor to his place will find herd of thirty COWS, all in high flesh, sleek and clean. Twenty-two of these are giv- ing milk, from which about thirty pounds of the sweetest and freshest butter imag- inable is made daily. The cream is raised by the Cooley system and the butter is churned every day, dairy room hav been erected for that purpose anI for no other. Of course, thirty pol butter is too much to churn by so 150-pound St. Bernard dc endless chain dog power were and when the churning is req

Wade's Fibre and Fabric: One of the operatives in the Boott cotton mills is 79 years of age. She has worked in the mills 54 years. Four years ago the com. pany recognized her faithful work with 8 gift of $1O0 and gold watch.
 She was down at Pennington, Me. and was an employee during the s'golden age' of Lowell manufacturing, when agents were the instruments of corporations that had souls in taking care of the young wo- men who como from the country towns to work in the mills. It was a necessary condition of success of the mills there, for there was no operative class, and friends and relatives of young women had to be assured of the latter's moral safety before they would be permitted to leave ths1r home and work in the mills. Miss Norcross was one of those who came to Lowell and worked under such cosslitions ......
 When she began, the operatives worked 14 hours per day. They paid $1.25 per week, for board, now they pay SITS. In the weave room, where she began work, a weaver was required to attend to two looms, and smart girl took care of them. Now girl has charge of seven or eight.
 Miss Norcross has for many years work ed In the "drawing -in'' room, and earns enough to pay her board and little more. She prefers work to idleness, and the company will probably take care of her while she lives

How truly fearful to contemplate are the re- | factions which must arise in the mind of every lever % of his race when M reviewing the widespread down in the prime of life by the cankering blight beyond the reach of medicine and medical ad- | vice. Such was the case of Mrs. NJ. E. ScOtt who @ o spngged Her body bod had den to her. She suffered from an tncessant, 1rk- some uneas1ness, her mind was absorbed with was wal M haunted by the thought that she ' would Sit never be any better. Her nervous system be- came exhausted, and she was tortured with a duced tears. Dyspepsia took possession Of her and her food distressed her, no matter how light or easily sly digested 1t might be. Her stomach vas and hef flesh became sore to the touch, neuralgia pains made their appearance in different parts sleep, her womb became displaced, and she was distressed with heavinesS In the head and a faintness, followed by hot flashes passing over her entire body. They employed the best med ical talent, but Mrs. Scott gradually grew weak CT and more feeble; and for many months she was unable to walk without the assistance of another person; her regular physician told her he could never cure her and advised her to go to Dr. Royce, the great specialist of chronic dis above condition, a hopeless and helpless invalid. She took treatment, and in very short time could walk alone: She gained rapidly, and when one month she could eat, walk, sleep or do any, thing else she desired with ease and comfort. 1t is rare thing to find physician that is liberal enongA to advise his patients to employ any phy ysfcian did in this case Such men are en- doWed with high sense of manhood and the sacred relation they hold to their patients. Mrs. Scott is an old and well-known resident and may be referred to- The above statement is nlain, truhtfpl statement of facts, and is no more re- markahle than many other cures that Dr. Royce has made. The above cure was made a year ago. Mrs. Scott has remained well, strong woman eyer since.
