Most Confirmed OF Woman lIatcrs

Probably tho most conirmel MISC
gynist who ever lived was wealthy
old bachelor who has Just died in
Vienna. After mis- death bundle Of
documents was discovered among his
belongings, labeled: "Attempts made
by my family to put mo under the
yoke of matrimony." IN this packet
were sixty-two letters, the dates rang
ing from 1916 to 1893, sufficient
proof of the tenacity of his relations.
So afraid was this strange man of even
sitting near woman that whenever
he went to the theatre he booked
three seats, in order that he might
have one on either side of him empty.
When travelling in railway carriage
he was always careful to smoke large,
foul-smelling pipe, to keep away in
truders of the female sex. In his will
he said: "I beg that my executors
will see that | am buried where there
is no woman inferred either to the
right or left of me. Should this not
be practicable in the ordinary course
of things, direct that they purchase
three graves, and bury me in the mid
die one of the three, leaving the two
others unoccupied. London News.

Among the questions proposed to tho rail-

rules of this company absolutely prohibit the
use of intoxicating liquors by conductors,

ROSES FOR THE GARDEN.

Thousands of people who love roses,
and have plenty of room in their
gardens or dooryards for bed of
roses of larger or smaller dimensions,
are afraid TO attempt to grow them,
because they imagine it requires too
much skill. A great deal of this may
be laid at the door of our older-school
gardeners and florists, who, from mar
row-mindedness more than anything
else, have tried to enyelop everything
pertaining to Horticulture in mystery,
and to spread the belief that to grow
even the commonest flowers required
their skill and superintendence. Ger
tainly no more mistaken idea regard
ing the culture of the roses could pos.
sibly exist The main factor required
is good plain common sense, which, If
rightly applied, cannot fail to make it

SUMMER CARE OF MILK.

Cleanliness in all dairy operations
is of first Importance. Milk with dry
hands. Keep the atmosphere in which
the milk must stand free from bad
odors, Preserve the desirable Aavors
in the cream. If the milk is wanted
sweet, lower the temperature as soon
as the milk is drawn from the COW to
just above freezing if possible. Neglect
of proper care of milk by patrons is
the cOuse of much trouble at the fac
tory and results in like reduction in

A Remarkable Bible.

An old relic has been discovered in
Eureka, CAL, in the form of German
Bible, printed in 1887, in the days of
Luther, by Wondel Rihel, of Strass-

throughout with scenes painted by

SALOON VERSUS CHURCH.

The saloon sets itself against the church,
and Is wonderfully efficient in undoing the
good work the church tries to perform. Sec
how in every effort the church makes she is
thwarted by the saloon. Her divine mis- sion
Is TO lead men to higher and purer life
To do so she must have, as material TO work
with, the natural man with all his human
qualities, his reason, his freedom of will. II
there Is one peculiar achievement that
drunkenness can pride itself on, 1t is its ia
cility to deprive mun of his reason and to

CHILDREN oF nn1NKrns.

The London correspondent Of the Ameri-
can Practitioner and News writes that q
distinguished English specialist In children's
diseases has carefully noted the difference
between twelve families OF drinkers and
twelve families OF temperate ones during a
period OF twelve years. with the result that
he found the twelve drinking families pro-
duced in those years flfty-seven children,
while the temperates were accountable for
siNty-one. Of the drinkers, twenty-five chill
dren died In the first week of life, as against
six on the other side. The latter deaths
were from weakness while the former were
attributable to weakness, convulsive at
tacks, or an pdema Of the brain and men,
branes. To this cheerful record Is added flvo
who were idiots; FIVE so stunted In growth
as to be really dwarfs; five when older be-
came epileptics, one, q boy, had grave
chorea ending In idiocy, five more were dis
eased and deformed, and two of the epilep-
tics became, by inheritance, drinkers. Ten
only, therefore, Of this fifty-seven, showed,
during life, normal disposition and develop
ment of body and mind. On the part of tho
temperates, as before stated, five died In the
first week Of weakness, while four In later
years OF childhood had curable nervous dis
eases, Two only showed inherited nervous
defects. Thus flfty were normal, in every
way sound In body and mind.

EX-COKEYITE is A THIEF
Arrest Of John Newell Charged
with Many Petty Laroenies.
He Is Believed to BE the Man Who
Robbed Gen. Drums House ana
Kept the Farmers Worried.

John Newell, fifty years of age, was ar
rested in Tennallytown by Mounted Police
man Murphy, OF the Seventh precinct, last
evening for the Maryland authorities. who
want him for several cases of fhousebrea king
and larceny.
Newell came with Coxcy's army to Wash
ington, and when the larger portion Of the
wanderers left, he remained. and since
then has been committing all manner OF
depredations in Maryland just beyond the
District line, il is alleged.
Some months ago the residence of Gen
r. c. Drum, OF the army, on the Tennally-
town road above the Boundary, was bur
glarized and jewelry and clothes taken.
The Montgomery county officers, after
an inyestiga don, came to the conclusion
hat the burglary had. been committed by
Newell, who was, i6 is claimed, seen near
The house at that time.
After that farmers from Rockville and
Chevy Chase lost chickens and hams, and it
was discovered few days ago that Newell
was selling number OF fowls and meat
to the residents OF Tennalytpwn for ridicu-
lousy low prices.
Accordingly Policeman Murphy went to
Tennally yesterday afternonnandwait-
ed for Newell When the man walked in
from Maryland he was taken into Gus
tody and locked up in the Georgetown sta
ton. Later he was delivered to the Mary
land officials and taken to Rockville.
