Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 10.-Ella
Dolan, a white woman about "A years
old, shot and killed Henry Jackson, a
young negro porter employed at the
New York store, at $50 o'clock this
evening, at her home on Liberty street.
Her husband was away from home
and Emma OFT, a young friend, was
staying with her. The negro, whom
they had never seen before, tried to
climb into the window, but Mrs. Dolan
beat him off with curtain pole. He
returned, but by this time she had got
revolver and frightened him off with
a threat to shoot. When they thought
he had gone, the women ran out to
give the alarm. but they found him
rushing back toward the house with
a brick. which he threw at them. Be
fore they could close the door, he
forced his way into the house. Mrs.
Dclan again seized the revolver and
hred three times, all the shots taking
effect and killing him instantly. She
was placed under arrest, but will
probably be released.

GORDON AND IL HUNG CHANG
Their Disagreement Over the Punishment
OF the TAPPING Rebels.

Their Disagreement Over the Punishment
OF the TAPPING Rebels.
Ii Hung Chang came out of these
campaigns with a high reputation for
military skill, great administrative ca
pacity and devoted loyalty to the reign
ing dynasty, and was thenceforward
the most famous man of his nation.
But just at the close of the war an in
cident occurred which, in the estima-
ton of most foreigners, has remained
as blight upon his fair name. In the
final great battle, which resulted in the
capture of the most prominent of the
leaders of the rebellion, Gordon, who
was instrumental in their actual cap
ture, promised to spare their lives, but
Immediately after being sent to heal-
quarters they were beheaded. Gordon,
who was of an impetuous temperament,
denounced this act as n breach of faith,
and, it is said, threatened to take the
life of ii and to throw up his command.
But he did neither.
Ii claimed that the refractory conduct
of the rebel princes after their sur
render made the punishment neces-
sity; and such n cool-headed and expe-
rienced man as Sir Robert Hart, with
q full knowledge of the facts, held that
Col. Gordon was not justified in his
conduct, and induced him to reconsider
his action and Judgment. Gordon con-
tiuued in command for some time, and
up to the day of his death at Khartum
maintained most friendly relations with
the vioeroy. ....
Notwithstanding these facts English
writer's generally insist that Ii was
guilty of bad faith and of bloody and
inhuman conduct. But it should be
borne in mind that the TAPPING rebel
lion was a most desolating and relent-
less war; that it had destroyed many
populous cities; had laid waste nearly
one-half of the empire; had sacrificed
an enormous number of lives, estimated
as high as 30, 900, 600; and that the lead
ers who were beheaded had been guilty
of horrid cruelties. Under such cir
cumstances it would not have been
strange if even the most civilized and
Christian commander, in the fusE OF
victory, should have ordered the exc
cution of the authors of such untold
horrors and bloodshed. The sepoy mu-
tiny of India synchronizes with the
TAPPING rebellion. If the "heathen
Chinese" should wish to retort upon his
foreign critics, he might not find it
difficult to parallel his own conduct
with that of his civilized neighbors, the
rulers of India.-Ex-Sec'y John w. Fos-
ter, in Century.

FINDING THE QUEEN.
Description of Method Which Has
Never Resulted in Failure.

Description of n Method Which Has
Never Resulted in Failure.
1t used to be great deal of bother
for me, says E. Davenport, in American
Bee Journal, to find queens in populous
colonies sometimes, but it is not much
now, for l can find laying queen in
an eight or ten frame hive with four or
five minutes work, no matter how pop
ulous the colony, or what kind of a
queen it is; and although the method l
practice has been described before, per-
haps it might be of interest to some be-
ginners for me to give it again. ~..
AS l remove the frames from the hives
I look them over for the queen, and if
she is not found readily (and with me it
is seldom) the frames with the bees are
all placed in an empty hive close by, or
hung on low rack made for this pur-
pose. If there are many bees left in
the hive, they are shaken out in front;
an entrance guard is now placed at the
entrance and the bees on the frames are
shaken off in front of the hive. AS the
bees on each comb are shaken off the
comb is placed back. in the hive, and
when all are in the cover is put on, and
the next hive containing a queen to be
found is treated the same. If one has
number of queens to find, by the time
the last hive has been gone over III,
queens of the first hives treated can be
readily found in front of their, hives
among the few bees that have not gone
in. ...-... .. ~.
1 have never as yet lost queen by
this method, but will say for the bene-
fit of beginners that this method should
not be practiced during the cool weather
in the spring or late in the fall after
queens have stopped laying. ....,........

Nothing tends more to engender dis
ease in poultry than filth in the coops.
In feeding fowls closely confined,
never feed more than is eaten up clean.
Feeding hard grain to ducks exclu-
sively usually means crippled legs or
feet sooner or later.
In keeping eggs for market at this
time it is important to keep them in as
cool place as possible.
Late-hatched pullets will nearly al

Prof. Wilmer, in his university ex-
tension lecture, spoke of that impor-
tant method of Investigating parts OF
the nervous system known as extirpa-
ton. A given, part of the nervous sys-
tenn is destroyed, and the animal is
then studied to see what movements
he is able to make without the activity
of the parts of the brain which have
been removed. Even all of the central
nervous system above the spinal cord
may Ire removedYin some animals and
they may still be kept alive long
enough to show what the spinal cord
is able to do without the brain. y

able to draw his toe up toward his
body when the toe is pinched, or il his
toe is placed in acid he will remove the
toe from the acid, or when piece of
plotting paper soaked in acid has been
placed upon his back he can even move
the foot up. over the back to remove
the acid. All this is done by the spinal
cord alone, without any sensation on
the part of the frog, because the frog,
as conscious organism, has been de-
stroyed by the removal of the brain.

tions generally taken as indicative of
intelligence even when more impor-
tant parts of the brain remain intact.
If only part of the brain be removed,
leaving the optic lobes and basil gam
glia intact, the frog in moving away
from stimulus will jump out of the
road of an obstruction, not necessarily
because he sees the obstruction, but
because the visual stimulus acts con-
jointly with the touch to produce the
movement of slverving to one side.
I'VE may hastily conceive of the
normal frog as reacting as nervous
mechanism acting under the influence
of environments in accordance with
the life habits Of its species, but such
would be only one-sided view Of the
relation Of mind to the. development Of
habits of action. We know more of
our own mental life than we know of
the activity of our ganglian cells. We
really interpret the physiological ac-
ton of brain by our knowledge of
the action only of the mind. We know
our own states of mind, which we des-
ignate by the term volition, and we
know that actions performed under the
influence of volition become habitual
and automatic. In this they approach
the reflex actions, which have pre-
viously been considered. From this
point of view we are justified in believ-
ing that reflex actions were developed
under the influence Of the will, but as
the nervous mechanism became adapt
ed and fit to perform the action alone,
they were left to it alone in conse-
quence of the saving of time and force,
and thus it is that our habitual actions
are often performed by us automatical-
ly, involuntarily and unconsciously."

After caponizing cockerel Its ma

take on more rapid growth, are more
tame, awkward in carriage and always
exceedingly lazy; take on very heavy
and beautiful plumage, the comb and
wattles cease to grow. the spurs do not
develop as in cockerels. The erstwhile
fighting cockerel becomes as docile as q

yard he keeps his own company and
spends each day in quiet living, With
out the drawback of physical exertion
the flesh rapidly increases, the bones
add weight to weight, and where under
the old way farmer would kill an or
dinary-looking cockerel of but little
weight he now dresses for market a
bird rivaling the turkey in size and

to that of the spring broiler and as
tender and juicy. Caponizing solves the

not as attractive to the young as they
should be. Town people make study
CT their social life, and they are con.
