Ghoulish Work Done at Midnight

Malad Enterprise.
There has becu quite little excite
mcnt with n few parties in our town
for the past few days over the discovery
that the body Of Morgan p. Morgan was
removed some days ago by parties un-
known. II seems that on the night Of
ninth Of April. Mrs. Zephaniah Jones
saw five men going towards the Malad
cemetery. about - o'clock at night
The hour was so unreasonable that a
watch was kept by some of Mr.. Jones'
family in the direction OF the cemetery
for some time after the parties passed.
Several hours afterwards light was
in "A shanty or cabin that stands on a
possessory claim three or four hundred
yards from the cemetery. The parties
were seen returning by Mr.. Jones' about
3 O'Clock next morning The circum-

secret autopsy had been held in the
cabin or the body had been taken there

PRINCE AUGuLTo LEoPoLpo.
The Candidate of the Imperialsts for the
Throne of Brazil

If the insurgents succeed in overthrow
ing republican government of * the
United States OF Brazil, and.if they. re-
place it by another empire it is already
very clear that the sovereign will not be
the. daughter of Dom Pedro IL, Isabella,
Princess of Braganza, whom the Brazil
ians do not like, nor her husband, CASTOR
d'Orleans, Comte d'Eu. whom they de-
test. nor one of their sons, Pedro. who
is eighteen years of age, Louis, who is
fifteen, or Antoine, who is twelve. The
Imperial line of the Braganza family
was extinct when Dom Pedro ii. died,
and the Orleans family has not enough
power, or enough popular affection any
where, to form an imperial line in Brazil.
The Brazilian imperiaIists have a seri-
Gus candidate in a member of the Sake
Coburg- GoLha family, which reigned in
Portugal in the person OF Ferdinand H.,
which was highly esteemed in England
in the person of Prince Albert, Consort OF
Queen Victoria, and which is beloved in
Germany i'll the person of Ernest H., one
of the most anliable of sovereigns, the
reigning duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha.
This candidate of the Brazilian imper-
ialists is Augusta Leopolda, second son
Coburg-Gotha. The latter. horn at Eu,

A worizingmaa,s Discovery.

Some years ago a tobacconist discov-
cred the utility Of tinfoil for wrapping
tobaccos. Heretofore paper had been
exclusively used for the purpose, but it
did not serve to keep the moisture of
the atmosphere away from the tobacco
nor preserve the natural moisture of the
tobacco from the effects Of dry or
heated atmosphere. Paper also alb
sorbed the aroma of the weed and was
not sufficiently lasting. Therefore tin
foil was used for wrappers. But it be-
came costly and could only be rolled to
a certain thickness or thinness, beyond
which the ingenuity of man seemed to
find it impossible to go. The fact was
that no rollers could be made to sustain
the pressure necessary to MASKING the
tinfoil to leaf sufficiently thin to suit
the manufacturer.
Many ingenious inventors struggled
with the proposition for months and
gave up the problem as unsoNable, when
a simple workman about the shop one
day, after rolling two sheets to the Gus
tomary thickness, put the two sheets to-
gether into the rollers and made both
halves as thin as they were before. This
was as simple as standing an egg on end.
but it created a revolution in the manu-
fracture of tinfoil Cor tobacconists' use

Information Concerning Beans.


IL The following gives the consensus of
answers sent oy several beangrowers of
note to the Rural New Yorker: /. A
good bean planter costs $35, but many
use common II tooth grain drill, which
does good work-dropping from three
teeth. 2. The usual distance apart for
drills is % inches, and seed is dropped six
inches to foot in the rows. 3. Shofields
early White is good variety. 4. Red
Kidneys are fancy beans usually sent to
especial markets in South America. The
demand is limited, and they do not
: yield SO well as the white beans.
. 5. Most growers use the common
one and two horse cultivators, and are
careful not to hill up the beans. 6. Some
growers use a weeder successfully, but ii
is not necessary except in very weedy
fields. The beans should not be cult
yated when G heavy dew is on, as this is
liable to rust them. 3. A good beancut-
ter costs $35. 8. As rule, growers pile
IN small, high punches. 8. They are cut
just before they begin to shell by ham
ding or a little sooner. 10. A beam
thrasher requires 10 horsepower to do
good work. They will thrash from 800
20 500 bushels per day. Most Of the
steam thrashing works manufacture
them.

THREE OLD DEATH SIGNS.


Food For the Supcrstitious.
Do you believe in the superstitions
connected with the house of death?
The contributor confesses that he has
always been skeptical about them, but
here are three old signs which prophe-
sled death in Waterbury home, which
are almost remarkable in their coinci-
dence, if not in supernatural signif-
canoe.
A group OF people were sitting in q
pleasant room one evening in one of the
suburbs of Waterbury, where neighbor-
" intercourse is often freer than in the
city itself There was knock at the
door, and another neighbor Dame in on
an errand. Another knock and another
neighbor, and then third. Then some
one remarked: Three knocks and three
callers. The next will come in without
knocking, and death will come in after
him. The next incomer opened the
door without knock, and it was a
neighbours boy: as strong and healthy
lad as one is likely to see anywhere.
And death was behind him, though
what had been said
This boys mother has always been
disturbed by an extraordinary anxiety
and restlessnes at the approach of death
to any of her relatives. 1t has happen
ed several times that she has been pur-
sued, as it seemed, through the house,
from garnet to cellar and through all
the rooms, by an incorporeal something
which she tried to escape. No one
could stop her or quiet her for a long
time. A day or two after the myster-
ious fourthrcaH at the neighbours door,
this mother, who had heard nothing
about that incident, was seized with
this intangibls fear and began her per-
picked wanderings through the house.
In and out, up and down, she walked,
with a frightened air, trying to escape
what? She did not know, but they
agreed that death was pursuing some
memberAof the Family.
One day not long after, the boy who
was the fourth caller and whose mother
had had this premonition was sick.
Not very, but a little. His father was
sent for in the city ito come home. He
was detained and walked home in the
early evening. A strange cat followed
him home, crossing his track and wind
ing its way inland out OF his along the
road. At homeswas-another strange cat
which had followed a sister home.
They were stopped at the door and soon
were joined by two more. The four
stood there on. guard all night and all
next day with dreadful patience and
persistence, craving admittance with
signs of horrid appetite, lodging into
the house whenever the door was open
ed, and kept at a distance only by great
difficulty. They might have been
stoned or shot, but that is not the way
the old superstition reads. The boy in
side grew worse and died the next day.
This is not very remarkable story,
but it made a good deal of an impress
sion on the ccntri butor as it was told to
him by member of the family who
knew that those things had happened in
just this way, that they were old super
stitionsw which still live, and who asked
him if he believed there was anything
in it. Waterbury Conn. Republican.
