The Alleged wife Murderer. Rapidly
Breaking Down.
WILMINGTON, o., Jan. 13.-James
Harvey, the alleged wife murderer, is
either becoming insane under pressure
of his surroundings in the county Jail,
or is counterfeiting the insanity dodge
to perfection. Last night, dur
ing a visit paid the prisoner by
his brother Seth, who is a teach
er in the State Normal school of
North Dakota, James requested his
brother to bring to him on his next
visit the corset and shoes of his dead
wife in order that he might lace them
up for her as had been his custom in
the past. Harvey's constitution is rap
idly breaking down.

For SportsInen.

Attorney General Monnett, in re-
sponse to request by Chief Game
Warden Reutinger has rendered an
opinion in which he cleared up certain
points in regard to the game laws. He
held that the fine of person who
pleads guilty to violating the provis-
ions of the game law should go to the
county fish and game fnnd the same
as the fine Of violator who stands
trial and is convicted. The question
has recently arisen in several counties
through the efforts of violaters of the
game laws to get even with the game
wardens by pleading guilty before a
justice, with view to depriving the
officers of their fees,
Another point considered was as to
the right of a crop owner to kill rab-
bits and squirrels out of season. The
attorney general holds that the eX-
preston, found injuring,' does not
require that the tenant or owner wfll
be obliged to see the act performed,
and kill the identical animal, but if he
can discover or ascertain by experience
or by examination that such injury
has been done by rabbits or squirrels,
he will be justified, in good faith, of
ridding himself of such pests"
He also held that where such ami
mails should be found injuring crops,
the owner, under a proper state of
facts, showing good faith, may con-
tract with others to protect his crops
from the animals mentioned.

FELL OFF THE SHIP.

Sailors Whe Were Not Accustomed
to- Lhe Trolley GunbOat.
They we're two jolly tars off duty and
making the most of brief relief from
keeping ship" After cornwall call
up the line they were coming through
Jefferson avenue on the rear end of
motor car and smoking their pipes
while they talked with the usual volu-
bility of the sailor in port. AS lady
came from the somewhat crowded car
the little fat son of Neptune stepped to
the street that she might have clear
passage. Of course he had to touch his
cap and by this ceremony hewas delayed
just long enough to have the car start
with jerk as his foot was on the step
to rejoin his mate. When he hit the
pavement he struck out like strong
swimmer for two or three strokes be-
fore realizing that he was not in the
water.
''Man overheard" whooped the lad
on the platform. Dropped over the
port side of the stern. Slow her down,
man, slow her down and back up" as
he excitedly grasped the arm of the con-
dustor. "Give the engineer his bells"
and he seized the strap that registers
fares, jerked it at the rate of five dollars
per minute till it came out by the roots,
leaving the register hanging by one
screw.
Meanwhile the little fat sailor was
coming like duck in a foot race, wav-
ing his handkerchief and shouting:
"Ship ahoy!" as if the fate of Robinson
Cruso would be his should that car es-
cape. The passengers could do moth
ing for laughing. The conductor was
vainly striving to suppress the excited
tar aboard, and he was calling upon his
eyes to be blasted and his timbers to be
shivered if he didn't scuttle the craft
if she didn't come to and rescue his
mate. He swore, too, that he was be-
ing marooned, for he wanted off to give
the fat one hand. He was released
at the next corner, where he stood,
shaking his fist while he called the con-
ductor a bloody pirate till his putting
consort came alongside. Then they
went rolling toward the police station
to see what the "chief commodore"
would afford them in the way of ven
geance,-Detroit Free Press.

BOYS IN WALL STREET.

Their First Duties-What Is Expected
of Them.
A Wall street boy is expected to be
at the office at nine o'clock in the morn
ing and remain there as long as his
services are needed, though he usually
gets away about four o'clock. He has
an allowance of half am hour at noon
for luncheon, but the rest of the time
belongs to his employer. He is expect
ed to be neat in appearance, clean as
to hands and face, well hammered,
truthful at all times, prompt in obedi-
ence and faithful in guarding the Sc
crets of his employers.
The duties first assigned to him are
to carry messages, deliver stocks at
other brokerage offices, and obtain
checks for them. After awhile he is
advanced to making comparisons of
sales of stocks and taking the checks
received from other brokers to be certi-
lied at the banks.
Of late years the stock exchange
clearing house has done away with so
much of the stock delivery by boys that
the number of them on the street is
not more than half what it used to
be. Formerly it was not uncommon
to see from rs to 100 boys waiting in
line at each of the prominent banks
to get checks certified, and nearly every
bank employed private policeman to
Keep the boys in line and in order.
A story is told of a. new boy on the
street who once went to make delivery
of stock. When the bookkeeper made
up the accounts at the close of the day
he found himself $4,000 short, and an
examination of the books showed that
one of the boys had failed to bring
back check in return for some stock
he had delivered.
He was perfectly innocent about the
matter, and said that he had handed the
papers in at the Office where he was sent
to make the delivery, and as they gave
him nothing he supposed there was
nothing for him to get. His employer
treated him kindly, and told him to be
careful not to make the same mistake
again. He never did. That boy is now
at the head of one of the largest broker
age houses on Broad street. Harper's

ORCHARD AND GARDEN,

The garden must be mellow, rich and
kept clean.
Sawdust is good mulch for all kinds Of
small fruits.
If done early, spring is the best time tc
set out trees and plants.
Strawberries If well mulched are less
affected by change Of weather.
After the orchard is in bearing it dies
not pay to continue to crop it.
Bone dust and wood ashes make good
fertilizer for strawberry plants.
Poultry for the plum trees and swine
for the apple orchard is a good rule.
Currants and gooseberries need an an
nual pruning to remove useless wood.
All pruning and transplanting should
be done before the leaves start out we'll
One advantage in using commercial fer.
tilizers in the garden is their freedom
from weed seeds.
Small fruit growing may not pay the
farmer away from market, but he can grow
fruit for his own use.
Only well rotted manure should be used
In the potato patch, and it should be well
worked in with the soil
Starvation and neglect are the great
causes of unfruitfulness with many un-
profitable orchards. st. Louis Republic.

Don't Go at 1t as Though You Were Cut.
ting Cord Wood.
Don't get crazy fit and go into your
orchard with an AK and cut and slash the
branches off and think you are pruning
says Fl. E. Van Deman. Every stroke
with tool on tree is a stroke al lis
life, unless very wisely made. There
need be no elaborate or stylish method
of pruning adopted. Common sense is
a good guide, but if person judges his
knowledge of pruning by the amount
of brush he makes, he is sadly lacking in
common sense, and should never be al.
lowed to prune.
All dead or sick branches should come
off, all that cross or chafe each othei
should be relieved by the removal at
the one which can best be spared. Dc
not cut great open spaces in the tree
tops and SO let in too much hot sun
shine and injure the limbs that have
been used to being shaded. 1t is dan.
gerous to prune cherry trees at all.
they are rarely benefited by so doing
but are often injured. Train old or
chard trees to have low, broad heads,
which will shade the trunks, lessen the
purchase of the winds, and make more
convenient the gathering of the fruit

INTELLECT AND NERVES.

The Strain of Mental Work Increases
Nervous Disturbances.
At a recent sitting of the Academy of
Medicine M. Magnan analysed the pa
per of DIR. Toulouse, constituting an in
quiry into the connection between in
tellectual superiority and homeopathy.
SAYS q Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Standard. That inquiry must, says
NJ. Magnan, be made on the most emil
hent men in science, art and literature,
and NJ. lola was selected for the first
observations. Some time ago the nov
elist explained in letter made public
why he lent himself willingly to the in
quiry. As early as 1S43, Reveille PARSE,
in his physiology of men occupied in in
tellectual work, discovered in the nerv-
Gus disorders frequently noted among
them the consequences of the too great
activity of the brain. But subsequent
" Moreau, of Tours, going further, de-
clared that a genius was but man
suffering from neurosis; and, lastly.
Lombroso declared genius to be cpl
lepsy. Those conclusions were, said
NJ. Magnan, far from being founded on
really scientific bases. DR. Toulouse,
thinking that the solution of the ques-
tion demanded dinect observations. has
proved by long and minute observations
that M. lola is neither suffering from
epilepsy nor from hysteria, and that he
Is not mailman: but that the numer-
Gus nervous disturbances he experiences
denote certaini want of equilibrium in
the nervous system, such as is noted in
superior degenerated persons. The in
tellectual strain increases the nervous
disturbances inherent in their nature.
