NEVER LOVED THORN

Mrs. Nacks letter to Thorn, written
in the Queens County Prison, in which
she addressed him as Dear Martin" and
Dear Child,' and suggested that they
end their lives, was translated. She ac-
knowledged that she wrote the letter,
but insisted that she never loved him,
and pretended that she only did it be-
cause she was afraid of him.
II did everything 1 could to satisfy
Thorn said Mrs. Mack. II gave him
every cent of money had"
"Why was it you were afraid of
Thorn?"
Thorn had a syringe and said he
would put something in it which would
destroy my eyesight and that Of Gull
densuppe."
"Was it a fear of this syringe that
made you buy oilcloth before the man
was dead, and the same fear after he
was dead which made you burn his
clothing?"
Yes"
Mr.. Howe continued his cross-exami-
nation step by step till he had led the
witness to repeat her whole story as
given in her first confession. 1t did not
differ materially from that brought out
in the direct examination.
"How many children have you killed %
asked Mr. Howe.
Not one that 1 know Of"
"How many stillborn infants in bot
ties have you in your house"
IT have two"
In reply to another question, Mrs.
Mack said, II never gave money or
offered money to anyone to kill my hus-
band. l never said so."
Mrs. Mack said that she never used
instruments in her profession as mid
wife, and that when she had a case

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

A strong colony is always proof
against robbers.
The honeycomb presents the greatest
possible strength and space with the
least possible material.
Fruit growing and beekeeping are
combined to good advantage. In fact.
every fruit grower should keep bees.
When bees starve the queen is the
last one to succumb. They will give up
their last drop to save the mother bee
Better keep bees in box hives than 10;
to keep them at all. They fertilize the
blooms and help many crops in th;.
way.
Black bees have many good traits.
They build up strong in the spring and
cannot be excelled in the production o.
white comb honey.
1t is we'll to remember that bee
cannot climb glass, tin or earthenware,
but it can climb wood, so that wool
vessels should be used in feeding them.
The hive that is set fiat VIII build lis
combs cTosswise of the hive, while that
rightly inclined will build its combs
straight on the frames.-St. Louis Re-
public.

POULTRY PARASITES.


They Can BE Destroyed bv FumiGatins
the Hen House Properly.
If henhouSe is fumigated with sui
phur properly, this is the surest method
of killing lice, as well as all kinds of
germs, such as cholera and roup.
In order to make sure that nothing
can live, while the sulphur is burning
the house must be made as tight as pos
sibie. This is best done by pasting
strips of wrapping paper along the case
ment of the windows, around the slides
found. If the joist does not tit closely,
fill in the space with pieces of twisted
newspapers. All this could be done
with profit for the sake of the warmth
gained. even if you do not wish to fumi-
gate. BE sure the ventilators are Sc
leave by fits snugly.
For henhousc, large enough for 100
hens, five pounds of common stick sui
phur is sufficient. Break this up in
pieces of about an inch square, put it
into two iron or tin vessels that do not
house, one at each end; pour over the
sulphur somewhat less than a pint of
alcohoi-wood alcohol is much cheaper
than the pure alcohol and just as good
for this purpose. Quickly touch a
match to this before the alcohol has
time to evaporate; close the door and
leave the lice to their fate.
In a short time the air should be so
thick that when looking through the
window you cannot see over two feet.
Leave the henhouse shut up for couple
cf hours; then open the doors and VEN
tiIate, and in an hour the atmosphere
will be perfectly livable.
Using alcohol and sulphur is much
cheaper and better than buying sulphur
candles, which cost a ridiculous sum
and burn so slowly that they are little
better than useless.-M. p. Harris, IN

WAS 1t CONSPIRACYa
a Minister Arrested at the Instance
Of q Bad Woman
For Impersonating an Officer UnanimousI, ],
Acquitte1 by the Jury on the First Bal
lot-A Conspiracy Among the Officers
Against the Minister Charged.

ROCHESTER, n. Y, Jan. 1O-At $50
O'Clock last evening the jury impan-
elled to try the case of Rev. d. NJ,
kirkpatrick, who was under arrest
charged with impersonating an Off
Ger, brought in verdict of not guilty.
The arrest and trial of Pastor Kirk
patrick has been one of the most SEN
satIonal affairs that has ever occupied
the attention of the police of this city.
The man accused is pastor of the Sec
ond Universalist church and man of
more than local reputation.
On the 18th of last December Mrs.
Anna Adwen, who lives in a block on
Exchange street, complained to Officer
Shayne, who patrols that street, that
she had been accosted by a man who
represented himself to be detective
and asked to be allowed to gowith her to
herroom. When refused he threatened
to arrest her. She said the man had
on two previous occasions done the
same thing. While the woman was
talking with the officer the very mau
of whom they were speaking walked
almost in front of them. Mrs. Adweu
recognized him and pointed him out
as the man who had caused her SO
much trouble.
Officer Shayne followed the man
and stopped him and asked him what
he meant by stopping women on the
street and asking to be allowed to GO
to their rooms. He declined to state
his motive in doing this, but at last
said he was engaged in getting up
series of sermons on the immortality of
the city, and that he was looking up
the disreputable joints in the city for
the purpose of getting material for his
lectures. He then gave his card to
the officer.
Three days afterwards he was ar
rested ON the charge of impersonating
an officer. The woman was not in
court when the case was called and
the prosecutor swore that lie had rea-
son to believe the defense had spirited
her away. There was plenty of ex-
citement, but it was found that
through the blunder of the officers the
woman had been allowed to remain
upstairs in charge of the matron.
There was loud laugh at the expense
of the officers.
The case was called Friday, and
occupied the attention OF Judge Ernst
all day. Yesterday morning it was
taken up again and finished late yes
terday afternoon, when the jury
brought in Il unanimous verdict, Sc
cured on the first ballot, of not guilty.
The defense practically amounted to
a Charge of conspiracy among the Of
ticers against the minister. There is
talk OF bringing charges of conspiracy
against Lieut.. Zimmerman and Officer
Shayne, and taking them before the
board of police commissioners.

Well to Remember.

What is good for one is not always
good for another. This is illustrated
in short tale told some time ago about
a French medical student While in
London on visit the student lodged
in the house with man very sick with
a fever, who was continually besieged
by his nurse to drink very nauseating
liquids which were lukewarm. The
sick man found this almost impossible
to do, until one day he whispered to
his nurse:
Bring me salt herring and will
drink as much as you please"
The woman indulged him in his re-
request; he ate the herring. drank the
liquids, underwent the required per-
spiration, and recovered.
The French student, thinking this
very clever, inserted in his Journal:
salt herring cures an Englishman of
fever"
On his return to France he prescribed
the same remedy to his first patient
with a fever. The patient died. On
which he inserted in his journal: IN.
B.-A salt herring cures an English
man, but kills a Frenchman."-Har
per's Round Table.

Southern Homes In Texas.

A great development is now going on in
the Coast Country Of Texas, especially that
portion known as the Diamond district
This Is section with Houston and Gal
weston at the north and south points Of the
Diamond, the west side being bounded by
the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Railroad and
the east side by Buffalo bayou, San Jacinto
bay and Galveston bay. Less than four
years ago this was great cow pasture, be-
ing one OF the richest grazing countries on
the face of the globe. Only few isolated
small farms existed, but they were produc-
ing phenomenal results, not only with the
southern staples of corn, cotton, oats and
sugar, but moro particul rly with early
fruits and vegetables. In facti was demon
strated beyond any doubt that the net rev.
enue produced yearly from ten or twenty
acres would equal and in many cases ex-
ceed that of the ordinary quarter section in
the north. People Of all trades and profess
slons in the north were attracted toward
south Texas by the successful result Of the
letties al Galveston, which increased the
depth or the water IN that harbor to more
than twenty seven feet, deep enough for the
largest vessels and the rapid advance of
commercial prosperity in both Houston and
Galveston. These people were not slow to
see the agricultural possibilities in the Dia-
mond district above referred to, and the re-
suits of the past four years, depressing as
they had been financially speaking, had been
astounding. Houston has doubled her popu-
lation, Galveston has done nearly as well,
and the intermediate country Is dotted
throughout the entire Diamond district with
hundreds of small farms in the higheststate
of cultivation. Railroad and water facilities
are ample and reasonable, and the inhabi-
tants OF that district are within an hours
ride Of the two largest as well as the Metro
politan cities of Texas. Within its borders
Lave grown the prosperous little cities of
La Porte, Webster, Alvin, ETC., which are
attracting the attention of the whole north.
The climatic and healthful conditions are all
tn It could be asked for, and it is expected
that within very few years it will be the
garden spot of the United States.

An opening is left from the fire box
OBJ so that the heat and smoke will
enter the flue and pass around the
boiler before reaching the chimney.
As will be perceived. this arrangement
makes the best possible use of the fire,
SO that very little fuel will do great
deal of wo :,
1t is bett r, as a rule, to have a cook
ing apparatus like this in house. The
boiler should not hold less than 90 ga
Ions, and for large flocks of poultry, and
especially where the pigs are to have
the benefit of it, it should hold 30 or 40
gallons.
The contents of boiler set in brick,
as we have described, will simmer and
cook for several hours after the fire is
out and keep warm for a whole day and
night.-Farm Journal.

LOG LOADING MADE EASY.

tie hounds; the thicker the better.
This takes the strain off the hounds.
Let the pole rest on this and the log is
loaded. In loading a large, heavy log,
pry it up and place thick block under
it. Then fasten the chain as bafore, in
scrt the pole, bear down on the pry
pole, have the block placed across the
hounds and the log is again loaded. In
getting up supply of wood for the win
ter, in this way one can haul the smaller
wood and the log at the same time to
the wood pile, where the log can he cut
up for back logs for the fireplace and
saves handling the back logs twice and
much heavy lifting and saves the wagon
bed. BY this simple method one man
and a stout boy can load any reasonable
size log without any heavy lifting

CARE OF PASTURES.
Great Pains Should BE Taken to Make
Them Really Profitable.

Them Really Profitable.
There is too little estimate in some
quarters on the value of good pastures,
and therefore they are neglected. /
writer on cattle and pastrrcs says: Our
pasture fields are usually selected from
the lands which we think wlll least re-
pay us for the labor of cultivation, and
so, because they are comparatively
valueless, we think it will not pay 10
give them the care necessary to max"
them of greater value. The stock IS
turned loose into these fields to pick up
what it may. If the stock is kept from
starvation by the voluntary growth of
the pastures, we are apr to consider
ourselves so much ahead, but the stock
kept in this way pays us little rea:
profit, and the interest charges aud
taxes keep on accGmulating every year
upon the land. 1t is sometimes wise to
select for pastures such portions of the
farm as will least repay cropping
Sometimes the fields so chosen are un-
suited by their natural conformation
for profitable cultivation, and so the
best use to which they can be devoted.
both for the land and the owner, is the
carrying of stock. Sometimes the land
is too poor to grow profitable crop,
and so it is pastured as a means Of re-
storing fertility. In either of these
cases the land should have some care,
and pains should be taken 10 make it
profitable in the line to which circum-
stances have made it advisa bic to de-
vote it. DO not get into tie habit of
considering that it is only pasture
field, and so treating it as if it could
never be anything else.

FARM AND GARDEN.
WHY LEAVE THE FARMp
A Sensible Talk for Boys Who Do No.
Like Agricultural Life.


a great many people are wanting to
get away from the farm because farm
ing has ceased TO be very remuueratiye.
But if they flee to town or to the city,
hoping to find more remuneratiye eiu-
pioyment, they are certain 20 be dis
appointed. The city is full of idle
bookkeepers, and would-be clerks and
helpers of all descriptions. For every
vacancy that occurs 20 men stand ready
TO fill il, and that at salary that will
not admit of much, if any, surplus after
living expenses are paid. For the man
even well qualified for positions in the
city, the prospect at present is glourny,
as there are no vacancies. But for the
man unqualified by way of education
and special training there is at present
no promise whatever of fat jobs in .he
city.
There is no reason why 4 boy raised
on the farm should make a farmer. If
he has no taste for farm life. But ire-
fore starting out into the world. he must
qualify himself well for the position TO
which he aspires. The towns AMI cites
are dependent on the farms for flesh
and vigorous manhood. and it would
mean the ultimate downfall of the
cities if people should cease t0 leave lie
farm. But before leaving the farm. I've
sure you know what you want. and
that by reason of special fitness
there is a reasonable certainty of attain
ing the desired end. If anyone leaves
the farm underthe impression that there
are many advantages in the city not
found on the farm, he will discover
later that the advantages of city life are
greatly overestimated, and that the
advantages of farm life have been under
estimated. Don't be discouraged, we
believe that agriculture is destined to
see better days.-Journal of Agrical'
