ed with embezzlement. The Prudential
Life Insurance company by Its superin-
tendent. H. Schubert. is the prosecutor,
and is represented by Attorney Huls-
lander & Vosburg. Attorney Scragg rep
resents the defendant The testimony
Of the commemorative side went to
show that Engle as agent retained sums
of money from time to time which he
failed to account for. The defendant
claimed that his contract with the COM
pany allowed him to take out his COM
mission from moneys he collected. ana
that there was no embezzlement, that
It was simply dispute between him and
the company as to how much he was en-
titled to. He kept more money than the
company thinks he ought to keep, and
he thinks he had a right to keep
what he did. Mr.. Scragg asked the
court to take the case from the jury.

Archibald said ne would rule on the mo-
ton this morning.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

The roosts should be low, especially
for large, heavy fowls, and should all
be of the same height.
In caring for an orchard against the
ravages of insects and fungi, protec.
ton is the great rule.
rk-bursting is generally confined
to trees with long, bare trunks. A
good remedy is to cultivate low heads.
If stock is to be kept in the orchard
sheep are best. They will enrich the
soil and keep down sprouts and
bushes.
If you find great number of water
sprouts you may conclude the tree has
wet feet, and an underdrain is the
remedy.
Don't allow your firewood to mas
querade as fruit trees. If n tree is OF
no value, the sooner it is out of the
way the better.
When the hens stop laying perhaps
they can be started again by changing
the feed. Give less grain and more
meat and skimmilk.
Selling brood sows before they
reach full maturity, and substituting
in their places young animals, has a
tendency to reduce the vitality of the
herds.
Turkeys must have a good range to
bo profitable. They are bug eaters
by nature, aud must have good

to do we'll
Fungous growths are propagated by
spores which are carried chiefly by
the wind. These spores are carried
over during the winter In rotten fruit,
broken twigs, etc. hence the neces-
slty for removing all rubbish from the

INTO our cities by the millions of dozens

Bulletin No. 9S, of the Cornell Sta
ton, treats of cherries. 1t discusses
the best varieties for canneries, the

the proper modes of planting, cult

HOW sHEBEcAME A CLEVER COOK.

That very clever, very successful,
and admirable woman, Mrs. Rorer,
studied and conquered many things
before she learned to cook. 10 BEGIN
with she had a college training at Au.
rora, and having inherited taste for
chemistry from her father, who was
both physician and chemist, she
wished to become n pharmacist. That
was before the way was smoothed for
women who wished to do unusual
things, and she abandoned the plnn
because the way was made 90 disa.
greeable by fellow-student After
that she learned wood-carving, and
took course in carpentering, which
may account for the grace with which
she uses her hands aud arms. She
studied cooking for the good of her
family, and it was with the same
thought and to build up one of her
own children, who was delicate, that
she gained that scientific knowledge
that since has made her benefnctor

LAVENDER IN TIE LINEN.

The extent to which perfumes were
used IN olden times, indeed in times
not 80 old at all, would be sometime
remarkable il it were not remembered
that they often took the place of the
absent bath. In the medieval DAYS
this was an obvious fact; but IN the
days of the Greek and Roman the bath
was so universal n luxury that they
only supplemented it in the shape of
richly scented unguents. These are
as important n part of tho toilet of
the oriental women to-day as they

recognized that much Of this perfume
was used rs n disguise for unclennli-
moss, its use about the person in any
strong way was regarded MS a vulgar
Ity. and it was only thought fine TO he
odorlc5s.
When this principle had been thor
oughly established, ana with it the
habit of the frequent bath also, the
luxury Of life reasserted itself, and
perfumes were again in request, but in

MILLIONAIRE wAsHERwoMEy.

1t is announced in the Russian press
that an old man has died at Odessa
leaving four millions of rubles to his
four nieces, who have hitherto been
in very humble circumstances. In
order, however, to check anything
like pride in the fortunate ladies the
uncle stipulates that previous to re-
ceiving the money they are to work
for fifteen months either as chamber
maids, washerwomen or farm servants.
There are three executors who are en-
joined to see that the condition is
scrupulously respected. The ladies,
1T appears, have in consequence gone
into domestic service. 1t is said that
already they have had 500 offers of
marriage.

are destined TO be the chief features.
Waves are the foundation of every now
couture, and curls and puffs in plenty
do their share toward producing the
harming effect. At the sides the
hafr IS either arranged in deep waves.
which fa'l slightly over the tops of the
ears, or in small, rather fiat puffs.
This gives the couture broad effect.
which in the case of the average wo-
man is apt to be becoming, particu-
lerly in this age, when every woman
is broeG-shouldered, whether made SO
by natGGe or fashion. The American
pompadOur, soft and graceful in effect,
and having little or none of the stiff
ness peculiar to the Paris couture of
that sty-e, has become very popular.
This fashion makes tho hair look like
ripping mass of curly waves
brushed loosely back from the fore
head, with the exception of two little
curls which seem to have escaped from
the others and to have fallen care
lessly over the forehead. With the
pompadour the back hair may he
arranged in any of the various new
styles.
The pompadour, however, will not
reign without n rival. This rival is a
thing of waves and beauty and nlso
substitute for the severely plain part
affected so much by fashionable wo-
men last winter. 1t is warranted to
be becoming, which is a strong point
In its favor. The part is plainly
visible, but the hair. instead of being
drawn down with severe effect over
the ears, is waved and the ends curled
a trifle, so that on either side of the
part the hair is soft and fluffy. In
addition, to Danish completely all plain
effect, curl or two is allowed to stray
carelessly over the forehead. There
are many new ways this season of
dressing the back hair. Perhaps the
most novel is the chignon, with
cluster of curls dangling from the
centre. This divides the honors with
the pancake couture, which is a mass
of tiny braids coiled fatty over the
back of the head. Coiffures of ex-
treme length are much the vogue.
One new design is twelve inches long.
1t is made OF small puffs and curls and
is quite narrow in ect.-San Fran

RIPENING OF CREAM

MUCH butter is lost where cream is
gathered in the ordinary way by churn-
ing 1T when 1T is not fully ripened. OF
course the churnin8 mixes all the
messes of cream 80 that they cannot
be distinguished, but the cream that
has been skinned just before the
ohurning will not give its butter as
will that which is older. The last mess
or the last two messes before churn-
ing should be saved for the next time.
Then by stirring the cream slightly
each time new mess is added, all the
cream put In the churn will be evenly
ripened. and the cream will give nil
the butter it contains, instead of let
ting part go into the buttermilk. -
