was due to panic among the men on

were pulled aboard Others were res
cued by small boats and some swan
ashore. The life-saving crew was
summoned and the work of searching
for bodies began. Those who escaped
were scattered in every direction and
it is uncertain just how many lives
were lost. Twenty men were reported
missing. The crowding of the boat
was due to the fact that the ore gang
pays just so much per trip on the
ferry, and the more men that get on,
the less the cost per passenger. The
scenes on the streets where most of the
men lived are indescribable.

Peculiar Circumstances.
When Thomas Hears oil Suspicious He Ends
His Own Life.

Pressure Isle, July 16.-This usual quiet

shocked this morning at ru,nors of sui

to be true and that Frank c. Thomas. a
farmer had taken his own life at an
early hour this morning.
The facts which led up to his tragic
ocurance have their origin several wears
ago. and are substantially as follows
Zen years ago Thomas married n Miss
Clark, Il fine intelligent. respectable
young lady, then 10 years of age soon
alter their married life began. domestic
troubles began to multiply. Thomas be-
came ugly and abusive. Indeed his treat
ment was so inhuman that her mind gave
way under the terrible mental strain and
she became insane. This was five years
ago she was taken to the Augusta hos
pIai, where she remained until last April
W hen she was brought home on Friday

might have been a happy home.

incendiarism but the charge could not
be sustained. His father died last March

Mothers are often brought to the
verge of despair during hot weather
throws it up. One of the marked
superiorities of lactated food over
other infant foods is repeatedly spoken
of in letters of mothers from all over
the country: Lactated food is taken
eagerly. more often greedily, by babies
who are deprived of their mothers
milk, and in hosts of instances it Is
evidently preferred by them to breast
milk when the latter has become thin
and poor either from long nursing or
hot weather.
Cholera infantum, that is now rag
ing, is best prevented by lactated food.
This dread disease is due more to
faulty feeding than to hea.
Lactated food is used in all the large
homes for children throughout the
United States, and in families that
possess every means for securing the
best for their children; and yet it is
easily within the reach of the most
modest household in the land.

Last August the Maine experiment
station sent a man around with the
cream gatherers of two butter factories
to take samples of the skim milk from
the farmers. These samples were care
fully labeled and sent to the station
chemist for tests for butter-fat. There
were. ga such samples. and his tests
showed that skimmilk from farms
where cream was raised by deeD-set-
ting in ice water was as free from but
ter fat as that from farmers using
cream separators. The conclusion is
that deep-setting in ice water secures
as good results as the separating ma
chimes.
A new butter worker Is out, which
sings the wafer out CT the butter by

sling the milk from the cream. The
butter is washed in the granular state,
then lies in brine half an hour is then
enclosed in cotton cloth, placed &
molds and the molds are fastened into
a wheel which is revolved at high
speed, which throws the water out
through the cloth in a fine spray. But
ter in good condition should contain
twelve per cent. of water and this
worker reduces it to that condition in
minute and a half. Butter thus
worked is dry and granular. and much
superior to that which is made pasty
by rubbing and MASKING workers.
