The strange Death OF Mrs. Ida Harvey
at Wilmington, o.
WILMINGToH, o., Dec. 21-The cause
OF the tragic death of Ida Harvey, wife
of james Harvey, is being more fully
developed every day. The examina-
ton Sunday by Drs. Wire and
Greene resulted in the decision that
she had not come to her death
by apoPleHy or any disease of
that sort, as was told by Mr..
Harvey in explanation of her death.
1t was found that her neck was broken
and that tremendous blow had been
struck on the side of her head Just
above her ear. Harvey was placed in
a cell Saturday evening. He explained
the cause of her G>ath as follows:
Friday afternoon poor Ida commenced
washing the dishes, while | went up
stairs to write letter. After writing
aoout page | heard noise below and
Immediately went down and found my
wife lying with her head across the
wood box The wetness of her clothes
was caused by her pulliog the dishpan
over onto herself ia the attempt to
Keep from falling"
This is contradictory to the fact that
1G thicknesses Of paper in the bottom
of her shoes to make them fit, were wet
through and through.

Years Ago.

Years ago the policy of adver>
tisers was similar 10 that of the
man who had a leaking roof
when it rained he couldn t mend
it, and when it was pleasant
there was 10 necessity for it. A
generation ago, and even ten
years back, in the spring mer-
chant would say:
Cuisines is SO bad l can't at,
ford to advertise"
In the fall this same enter
prising gentleman would re-
mark:
81 am doing all the business |
care for; why should I ADVERTISER
To day advertisers have broad
er views-they realize that all
the time is the time to adver
tise.
Live business men don't be-
lieve in doing nothing half the
year. Hence they advertise all
the time. Keeping everlastingly
at it brings success. This ap-
plies to business as we'll as adj
vertising.-Ex

Horses Fria htened Them.

DR.. Walker, who recently
went to Alaska, took a number
of horses with him. At the first
Indian village the sight of the
horses drove all the dogs howl
ing into the woods. The chill
dren dropped their rude play
things and fled crying into the
huts. The men and women stood
their ground, although III opens
eyed wonder. After much in>
ducement they were finally pre-
vailed upon to approach the
horses, and their wonder knew
no bounds. No amount of per
suasion would induce them tC
mount. They were the first
horses they had ever seen.

THE FRUITFUL ONES.
WIVES WHO ARE BY NATURE UN-
FITTED TO MAKE HAPPY
HOMES

There is the wife who is stun>
ned and miserable because she
discovers that marriage is not q
lasting picnic; who cannol real
ize that her husband must be
different from the lover; and
spends her days i'll irnpotent
whining. She is always being
neglected, and always taking of
Tense; she has all Unsuitable crav>
ing for attentions, and needs con-
tinual assurances of affection
wasting her time and feelings in
getting up pathetic scenes OF
accusation, which finally weary
aud then ALLEVIATE her husband
Her own fault! There is noth~
ing a man hates more than q
woman going sobbing and cons
planning about the house with
red eyes unless it be a woman
with whom he must live in a
perpetual fools paradise of per-
fiction.
There are also discontented
wives who cord their husbands
into extravagant expenditure and
urge them to projects from
which they would naturally re-
coil. There are others whose
social ambitions STAY their do
1nestic ones, and who strain
every nerve, in season and out of
season, and lose all their self re-
spect for a few crumbs of con-
temptuous patronage from some
person of greater wealth than
their own. Some wives fret if
they have no children, others
lust as much if children come
In the first case they are disap~
pointed; in the second incon-
venienced, and in both discon-
tented. Some lead themselves
and others Wretched lives be-
cause they have not three times
as many servants as are neces-
sary; a still greater number be-
cause they cannot compass lie
of constant amusement and ex-
citement.-North American Re-
ritzp.

Good Health

And q good appetite go hand in hand.
With the loss OF appetite, the system
cannot long sustain itself. Thus the
Notifications of good health are broken
down and the system is liable to at
tacks of disease. It is in such cases
that the medicinal powers of Hood s
Sarsaparilla are clearly shown. Thou
sands who have taken Hoods Sarsapa-
r1lla testify to its great merits as a
purifier Of the blood its powers to re-
store and sharpen the appetite and
promote Z healthy action of the diges-
tive organs Thus it is, not what we
say but what Hoods Sarsaparilia does
that tells the story and constitutes the
strongest recommendation that can be
urged tor any medicine. Why not take
Hoods Sarsaparilla now?

An Anvil That Sings.


ut is not generally known, "
observed prominent blacksmith
recently, "that nearly all Of the
anvils used by blackslniths in
this country are made by one
firm i'll Brooklyn, N. Y. All
kinds of substitutes have been
invented and put on the market,
but after using them the black
smith generally goes back to the
wrought iron anvil, which is
hand made. There are plenty Of
cast mon and steel anvils for
sale, but they find but little favor
from blacksmiths, who prefer all
anvil that sings.

Moving to Town.

Too many people are dazzled
by the tlnsel and show of the
city aud town. They think that
to live in the city or fashionable
town is far preferable to living
in the dull and uneventful rural
district; and sometimes persons
with 10 manner of employment
in the city or town leave the
country and move just where
they "can see something.'
Those who have good homes
in the country will do we'll to
count the cost very carefully be-
fore they leave them for haphaz>
ard business about town. And
those who have no home and are
really poor in the country, will
do we'll also to ponder over the
chances against them before they
move to the town or city without
first securing at least some fair
employment.
The Democrat likes to see the
town build up, but we do not
wish to see people make their
condition worse by moving to
town without good employment
Or some independent means of
support.
Generally poor people can
more nearly maintain their i'll
dependence in the country than
in the town or city.-ScotIand
Neck Democrat.

THE REVERE
OF A SCORCHER
He Decides That ALI Women
Should be Compelled to
Wear Boomers.

Ting-a-ling! Ting-a-ling!
Can't you get out of the way,
or do you think it's my business
to turn out for you?
never saw anything like the
nerve of some pedestrians. In
stead of lodging themselves they
expect me to swerve. Well, with
the woman 1 suppose some al
lowance should be made. They
cannot move quickly when en-
numbered with skirts, and those
who do not ride the wheel posi-
lively will not wear boomers.
Consequently they get in the way
when crossing the street, and
when they get in the way they
are handicapped and cannot jump
aside as they could if they were
in boomers, as they should be.
l wonder when they will get a
little sense pounded into their
heads.
Ting-a-ling! Ting-a ling!
Why don't you keep out Of the
way if you don't want to be splat-
tered all over with mud2 It's
not my business to look out for
you.
Now, there's a case i'll point.
There's young woman out to
make few calls, I should judge,
ard of course she was SO logged
out that she could not get out OF
my way possibly. How much
better it would have been if she
had been in boomers! She
could have jumped aside then
without diffiulty, and she would
not have got any mud spots on
her calling costume. AS a mat
ter of fact, all women ought to
be obliged by law to wear bloom
ers and to devote certain
amount of their time to gy1na>
SUM work, SO that they would
become agile and able to keep
out of the way. Boomers could
be made of all the materials that
gowns are now, and don't see
why women wouldn't have the
same opportunities for dress
White lawn boomers. for in,
stance, would make dainty anC
attractive costume for the after
noon, and
Ting-a ling! Ting a-ling!
Sorry, madam, but couldn't
help it. It's not my fault thai
the streets are sprinkled and con
sequently muddy.
That woman couldn't move
any faster in boomers than il
skirts, and she would't look SC
we'll I think I would have {
priviso in my law that ladie:
over a certain weight should
train down before being allowed
to appear in public in blooners
That would add a great deal t.
the popularity of the law, anc
something ought to be done tc
bring boomers and other bicycle
costumes into greater favor. l
ought not 20 be possible for (
man to be turned out of the
dance hall, as was, simply be
cause he is wearing dark blue
bicycle tights and is escorting {
young lady i'll red boomers. Anc
if my wife wishes to go 20 al
afternoon tea in boomers she
ought to be able to do so with
out attracting any comment. It:
outrageous to think that people
in skirts still have so much in
fluenCe.

STRUCK BY A LIVE WIRE.

The Horses of a Dump Wagon Have a
Lively Squirt on Kearny Street.
A broken trolley wire, all infuriated
horse and an Italian scavenger shouting
wildly for assistance created commotion
of no ordinary nature yesterday morning
on Kearny street.
Luigi Biaggi, whose occupation is to
gather refuse matter from house to house,
and cart it to the dumps beyond Mission
Creek, was returning from there at 1C
o'clock. His wagon was empty and his
span of horses trudged along wearily after
hard nights work.
AS the team, northward bound, crossed
Market street from Third, the overhead
wire of the trolley-car snapped, and hung
in writhing coil like a snake to the pave
ment.
The break was directly in the path of
the poor old tired horse on the off side of
the dumpcart tongue, and he stepped on it.
For few moments the unfortunate ami
nal became young and active again. That
the many hundreds of volts of electricity
that he received did not kill him is a
wonder. He stiffened out and fell, recov-
ering only when the swing of the wire
caused 1t to spring back and away, dis
connecting it from the suffering beast.
The pendulum motion of the instrument
OF torture brought it back, however, every
few moments, and each touch sent the old
horse into wild contortions.
Two or three proddings of this kind
caused the horse to realize that he was in
bad locality, and, for the first time in
years, he pricked up nis ears and opened
out, dragging along his astonished mate
and Tightening the driver nigh on to
paralysis.
Policeman Harris, stationed at Lotta' s
fountain, ran after the team and stopped
the panied and infuriated horses as they
reached Post street.
All traffic on Kearry street was sus-
pended for an hour, until the railroad en-
ployes mended the break.

be forced to substantiate their remarks,
but the matter was dropped without ac-
ton being taken.

funds from the imperial treasury to
build asylums for the care and cure
of habitual drunkards. The bill pro-
vided that any habitual drunkard
may be incarcerated in these asy-
lums upon complaint made either by

Wilmer Stone refuses to accept
the idea of Gatke that feathers can
actually change their color without
having molted, unless they are
bleached or worn off. He also con-
cludes that the annual Noting at
the end of the breeding season is a
physiological necessity and is COM
mon to all birds; whereas the spring
,nolt and striking changes of plum
age effected by abrasion are not
physiological necessities, but depend
in extent upon the height of devel-
opment of celebration in the adult
plumage, and do not necessarily bear
any relation to the systematic posi-
ton of the species.
