A HORRIBLE THING.
An Aged LADY at Standish
Found Dead in Bed,
With Features Terribly Dishgured,
It is Supposed, by Cats,
A'ter having Died from Natural Causes
During Wednesday Night.

Portland, March IA horrible story
comes from Standish, this morning. Only
the most meager details can be learned in
regard to it, but there is said to be little
question of its truth. An old lady named
Mrs. Pease, who lived with man named
Skillings, in the western part of the town
OF Standish, went to bed, last night, in
her usual good health. She was about 20
years old and had hardly suffered a sick
day in her life. This morning, when her
bedroom door was opened, she was found
dead in bed.
1t is said that her nose and ears were
eaten almost off, and her face was dis
figured by the scratches and claws OF
some animal supposed to be a cat, of
which there were several about the house
1t is supposed the woman died from
natural causes, and after her death her
face was thus horribly manglcd.

THE PRICE OF LIME.
Contrary to Usual Condition RockIand Lime is
Cheaper Than Thomaston at New York.

New York, March IA cargo of
cents barrel net cash, to be delivered at
ono place, and small lot of Rockland
lime at so cents barrel, per cent. off
for cash, the Rockland lot to be delivered
at two places, which after deducting the
cost of extra towagc, makes the price of
the Rockland lime about 6 cents a barrel
less than the net price of the cargo of
Thomaston lime. These prices arc rela-
lively most exceptional, as the RockaDd
lime is supposed to sell for about cents
a barrel more in this market than Thomas
ton lime. There is a good demand here
and the prices under the present condi
ton of the market ought to remain strong
for some time.

the usual poultry yard, and only they
are successful who recognize and reme-

In keeping hens in large numbers a
cost for feeding of about 81 a head
must be reckoned, beside the cost of
labor. Therefore, If the sale of eggs
only Is depended upon, large average
production must be kept up. In sue
cessful chicken farming we must try
for both eggs and young broilers.
One reason why hen which steals
away from her nest always matches
out well is that she is not too fat, and
because every egg has the same VII
talfty. When eggs are selected and put
under a hen they are usually Of all
sorts, and must vary somewhat in VII
tality.
Prepare good clean nests In proper
places for your hens, and you will not
be troubled by the hens stealing away
to lay; let them be low and on a level.
In their roosting coop let there be
but 100 cubic feet space to ten hens,
letting everything tend to their health
and comfort.
The old theory that fat hens will
not lay we'll will hardly hold good.
Stint them not in a suitable variety,
avoiding too much corn. There are a
score of things which enter into the
secret of procuring profit, and it will
be your fault, and not that of the
hens, IL proper returns are not forth
coming.
A fowl which will lay fifteen dozen
eggs in a season is considered well
worth keeping. Although Pekin duck
