A STAGE DRIVER WAS DRUNK
A Runaway Results in a Woman Pas
senger's Death
A San Bernardino Collector Of Cactus Finds
narket for His Goods in London.
Notes

SAN BERNARDINo, Feb. 10.-Mrs. Lou
Krife, who died at the German hos
pital Friday night, was the victim Of
runaway accident at Vanderbilt last
Monday and the circumstanc are
particularly distressing. Before she
died she made the statement that the
driver of the team was drinking, and
that he had tried to induce her to
drink fron the same bottle. A few
moments later, probably because the
driver was under the influence of
liquor, the team ran away, and in the
wreck Mrs. Krife was crushed so badly
that she died from the effects.
Coroner Keating decided to investi-
gate the case and empaneled jury
yesterday morning. Evidence was
taken this morning, when w. Fl. H.
Cockerell, son of the woman who was
killed, told his part of the story. DIR.
Heating, after hearing other testimony,
adjourned the inquest until he could
get statement from Vanderbilt.
Cockerell was crszed with grief
up by the police Saturday on account
Of his strange actions. but is now re-
covered.
CACTUS TO ENGLAND
D. H. Alverson of this city, perhaps
the most successful cactus collector
and propsgator in the country, has just
filed an order from London for $50
varieties of cacti, comprising about 300
plants. They were packed and started
on the long journey.
Mr.. Alverson has established repu-
tation that extends wherever there are
plant collectors. Within the year he
has made large shipments to various
parts of the east aud south, and also to
Germany, and he is constantly in com
munication with people in all parts of
the country who are interested in the
cultivation of the plant which he has
made study.

According to NJ. Vendrout, Of Calais,
the North of France cultivates a con-
siderable quantity of lentils for animal
food, especially for horses. On almost
every farm people SOW in September a
mixture called 'hivernache," composed
of one-half rye, one-fourth of vetch and
one-fourth OF ientils. The crop is ripe
in July, and in the autumn is reported
to be one of the best stimulants for
horses when they have the heaviest
work to do. 1t spares the oats at the
moment when oats are scarce, the old
stock being exhausted and the new
crop not fit for feed. This mixture
offerSTgreat advantages, because the rye
has grain at the top of the bunch, vetch
in the middle. and the lentils, about
one foot high, give rich food at the
bottom of the bunch, where straw has
rarely any nutritive qualities. If it is
given whole, the animals find every
where good food, and il it is chopped,
the mixture is more regular. Sometimes
cows are fed with this "hivernacha"
when the meadow grasses are scarce
and poor, and the milk at once becomes
more plentiful and richer in butter.

Uses for Old COrks.

Corks are thrown away in great guam

there is any value attached to that ma

once'as stopper of bottle. Neverthe-
less, it has become one of the most
valuable components of city's refuse.
Great quantities of old corks are now

lating covers OF steam pipes and boil
ers, of ice-boxes and ice-houses, and
other apparatus to be protected from
the influence of heat Powdered cork
is very useful for filling in horse-cOl-
lars; and the very latest application
of this material is the filling in of pneu-
matte tires with cork shavings. Mats
for bathrooms are made of cork ex-
clusively, and it also enters into the
composition of linoleum. Cheap life

A Russian who died in Odessa last
year left 900 900 of rubles to his four
nieces but demanded that, previous to
receiving the money, they should work
for fifteen months either as chamber
maids, washerwomen or farm servants:
this in his opinion being salutary
discipline likely to chasten any foolish
pride they might be tempted to foster
in their minds. A Sussex publican

many a bad quarter OF an hour while
he lived. On his death she found that

strictions impOsd on widows and other

reduced 10 $500 in the event of the
lady marrying again. Another reduc-

birth of the irst child of the second
marriage. and every additional child
was to involve the further loss OF el1o

consists in reducing the wood in the
usual way in digesters, after which the
pulp is put into tank and mixed with
the substances for imparting to heel
stock the necessary requirements, such
as alcohol, litharge, tar, degras I'D
fish-glue, thorough mixing of these
with the pulp being followed by soak
ing the same day or two so that the
fiber may be penetrated, when another
application of materials occurs. The
object at this stage is TO harden the
pulp somewhat, so that it can be rolled
into thick sheets and handled, shellac
and borax accomplishing this, the pulp
then having the consistency of cement.
At this point slackened lime is put n,
and. as this hardens when dry, the pulp
must be rolled into sheets and cut into
heels before the hardening takes place.
The pulp is now drawn from the tank
in sheets. it being just thick enough.
there being specially arranged rollers
and adjustments at the bottom OF the
tank for effecting this. A series of
pressures through press-rollers reduces
the sheet to the right thickness, and
the sheet is next placed quickly upon

started, and in a moment the platen
