Here is curious item from a Ger
man exchange: Miss Mary Tate, an
American girl and a pianist of consider
able merit, died a short time ago, only
81 years old. Her last wish was to be
laid out upon and buried in her grand
piano. She was laid upon the instru-
ment, choral being played upon it,
while religious services were held over
her body. After the ceremony the
cover was raised, the strings torn from
the piano and the body placed in it.
Then the piano legs were taken off and
the body of the piano raised upon the
hearse.
AS she had requested, her own piano
b her last resting place.

st. Louis to Hold a Cycle Show

CHICAGO, Dec 3.-Chicago sporting
men are anxiously awaiting the result
of Dan Stuarts attempt to bring off the
much talked of fight between Fitzsim-
mons and Corbett.
There is a diversity of opinion as to
whether the big champion will sign or
not John Sullivan says he will not, as
he is now engaged in the theatrical bus
mess, not as a boxer, but as an actor.
When Dan Stuart was Interviewed on
his way to New York, he said.
81 intend to camp on the trail of Cor
bett and Brady until Corbett signs or
shows that he does not want to fight
Fitzsimmons is anxious to fight and l
have his signature with me, took him
on a tug into the Gulf of Mexico and
signed him there, SO that the state of
Texas would have no hold on him. in
tend to bring off the fight about two
miles from Ell Paso aud it will not be on
Texas soil either. The articles of agree
ment that Fitzsimmons has signed call
for a fighteyvith tiye-ounce gloves and So
500 forfeit money. l will put up a purse
of $4,000, and if l fail to pull off the
fight without interference Corbett
and Fitzsimmons can divide
the money between them. L
will put up $4,000 when the papers are
fl ght is agreed upon. l hope the fight
will come off about January 10. am in
position to guarantee the men absolute
protection from interference and if Cor
bett is willing to fight the thing will
come off without hitch of any kind"
Stuart said further that he wanted the
men to select their own referee, but that
he preferred a Chicago man, named Sam
Dahl or George Siler as his preference.
81 will only name the referee" he
said, sin case the men are not able to
agree upon him"
NEW YORK, Dec. 3-When Corbett
was told of Dan Stuart's arrival in the
city and for what purpose he WAS there,
he said.
Il am mnch surprised at Smart max
ing a Journey to New York. l formerly
considered him smart fellow, but from
past experience as regards his relations
with me, he is simply on FOOLS errand,
if what l hear is the object of his visit.
He cannot begin TO hold a conversation
with me about fighting unless l see the
ready money placed in the hands Of re-
sponsibIe parties, andp even then the
chances are slim of my resembling my
former assertion of retiring. Again, this
fellow Stuart has cost me any amount of
money and time, besides plenty of worry
and bother"

A New Kind of Farming.

IL Seems Tint You Can "Improve"
Skunks Just Rs You Can Anything
Else.
The skunk farm near Ithaca, y. Y.
about which more or iess items have APP
peared in print, contains 80 acres and is
enclosed by fence so built that the ami
mails can neither burrow under nor climb
over it. In hillside are burrows where
the animals live in summer. A long low
building is intended for their winter resi-
deuce, This contains two rooms only. The
smaller one, about twenty feet square. Is
used as an office and workroom. Il con-
tains huge stove which heats the whole
building. To the top OF the stove is fitted
a big kettle. This kettle is used for cook
ing the food of the skunks. Along the
sides of the room are stored the cage traps
in which the animals are caught the air
tight boxes in which they are killed, and
various ordinary farming implements. The
other room, occupying about two-thirds OF
the entire building, contains the winter
burrows of the skunks. In the centre is
cement paved court where the skunks are
fed at nightfall.
For year the proprietors of the farm
have been buying up all the skunks caught
alive in that region to get stock to breed
from They now own 500 and expect
these to increase in three years to 10000
They can then kill 5000 year without re-
ducing the stock.
skunk is valuable in proportion to the
amount of black his fur contains, and it is
the aim of the skunk farmers to breed out
the white marks found on nearly all skunks
in their wild state. The quality of the
fur is improved and the size of the animal
is increased greatly by abundant and regu-
lar food and by care in breeding, The best
skins bring $3.50 to 50 each.

The pest has its periods of activity and
quiescence. The present year has been
characterized by its activity. In some
places its presence has been intolerable.
On Long Island many fields have been des-
olated by its rapacity. The wide and ir-
regular mIgrations of the beetle are both
curious and mysterious. So long ago as
1919 this strange insect was found by
Thomas Say while engaged in a govern
ment survey in what is now Colorado. 1t
lived on species of the wild potato plant.
1t had never been discovered farther east,
and for many years it was regarded as hav-
ing its habitat solely in the desert near the
Rockies. But in 1864 its migrations into
Kansas, Missouri, and the regions farther
east began, so that in few years there
after the path of desolation extended to the
Atlantic ocean. On Long Island this sea-
son the pests have moved in vast numbers
from field to field, insomuch that the trains
on the railroads crossing their path have
been impeded by the millions crushed on
the tracks. The destruction of an army of
them, however, does not seem to diminish
their numbers. A new army springs as it
were from the ground to replace the ones
destroyed, for this beetle is amazingly pro-
lific.-ZiOH'S Herald.
