Hints to Lemon Growers.


I. j. Ashby, Secretary of the Pasa.
dena Lemon Growers Association, SAYS
in regard to lemons:
The stems must be cut close. but
care must be taken not to cut, scratch
or bruise the fruit 1t is found that
many culls are made by careless clip
ping and long finger nails.
The desirable sizes are the S6Os in
summer and the 300s in winter. These
measure 2 lie and IA to 2 5-S.
Lemons above and below are graded
subject to the discretion of the man.
ager.
Lemon groves should be picked over
once month. Use padded baskets
or pals into which the fruit be laid
not dropped or thrown-then carefully
transfer to boxes placed in the shade.
Pick before irrigation or wait several
days. Never pick lemon moist from
fog or dew, or leave them unprotected
after gathering.
Haul to the warehouse on easy
springs; drive carefully and have the
lemons covered to protect from dust
and sun. We advise delivering or
placing in barn or shed as soon as
possible after picking.
Smutty fruit received Will be
washed or sponged at tho expense of
the grower. Members have the option
of doing this for themselves, but it is
we'll to remembr spraying or fumigat.
ing is much less of an expense.
1t will pay,for the grower to Gull his
own fruit and not haul it both ways.
Experience will soon show novice
what to reject.
The sum of these suggestions is that
the one who brings the best grade of
carefully handled fruit is the one who
gets the best return at the least per.
sonal expense.

The lice of cattle are Of two types or
kinds-a pumping, or sucking and a
biting kind, says the Arizona Stock
man. The biting louise is generally
known as the little red louise, the other
being the blue louise. The blue louise
affects almost exclusively the neck and
shoulders, the favorite places of attack
of the others are the spine, hips and
rump, and somtimes appearing ON the
head and neck. 1t is much more diff
cult to annihilate the blue than it is
the red louise. DR.. Trum bower, an
authority on the diseases of the skin
OF cattle, claims that all can be de.
stroyed in the same way. 81 have"
he says. "been most successful with a
decoction of cocolus indicus-fish
berries. Take a half pound or each
animal. pound fine, then add two
quarts of vinegar, set it on the stove to
simmer for an hour Apply this
thoroughly by rubbing it well into the
hair over the infested region. This
will not injure the skin or sicken the
animal, and it remains long enough to
be effective in killing the young lice as
they are Matched from the nits." Pro-
fessor Rlley's kerosene emulsion is
also very effective, and is made as fol.
lows: Kerosene, two gallons; common
or whale oil soap, one quarter of
pound; water, one gallon. Heat the
solution of soap and add it, boiling hot,
to the kerosene; churn the mixture
for five or ten minutes. Dilute the
emulsion with eight quarts of water
and apply it to the animal by
thorough rubbing. Fifty animals can
be treated with ten gallons of the
liquid.

Breaks Down for the First Time Just
Before the Execution.
Puts Aside All Semblance of Insanity
and Admits the Killing of His Wife
and Child-Goes to His Death
Calmly, and Maintains That he IS
General Brandenburg of the United
States Army.

UNION (Mo), Feb. 16.-Dr. Arthur
Duestrow of St Louis, Mo, who on Feb
ruary 13 1894, shot and killed his wife
and child in that city, was hanged in
the courtyard of the County Jail at 12:o9
p. m. to-day. Not until this morning,
when he arose after fitful nights rest
and saw the gallows upon which he was
to die did Arthur DuestrOw, the con-
demned st. Louis murderer, snow any
signs of realization of his fate. For the
first time since his crime was commit
ted, three years ago, he shed tears. He
put away all semblance of insanity and
groaned
Il know I've got to die. L killed my
wife and child, but it was not my fault.
Something within me made me do 1t.
was not myself.
These words were repeated again and
again, his tears were flowing fast and
sobs occasionally checking utterances.
The condemned man had called himself
General Brandenburg of the United
States Army. This morning he wrote
the following message to his attorney,
Governor Charles Johnson of St. Louis,
Mo:
Il am in a predicament. Intercede with
Governor Stephens for me Immediately.
now need your advice. l was insane,
but it did no good. l have nothing left
but the hope of forgiveness.
"A w. F. BRANDENBURG." 9.
In a short time the condemned man
regained his composure, talked with
visitors and smiled. Small doses of
whisky were given him from time to
time to keep his courage up and he was
much gratified.

dense it was almost impossible to get
near the place. A rope fenced off space
about twenty feet wide and fifty feet
long. Here twenty-five deputies pa
trolled, keeping back the crowd. When
the newSpaperInen attempted to enter
the jail they were denied admittance.
The Sheriff had promised that they
might be present at the reading of the
death warrant but changed his mind at
the last moment The reporters were
even denied admission within the ropes,
but the Sheriff was so excited he did not
know what he was doing.
On the scaffold Duestrow said he was
General Brandenburg, not Duestrow,
and that he did not kill Mrs. Duestrow,
and was dying illegally. He died of

DUESTROW'S CRIMES.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 16.-The crime for
which Arthur DUastrow met death ON
the scaffold to-day was committed on
the afternoon of February 13, 1894, at
his residence, 1904 South Campton
avenue this CITY. On that day he had
been drinking heavily. During the
forenoon he had called al livery sta
BILE and ordered a sleigh for the after
noon, stating that he intended taking
Glis Wife and tWo-y -year-old son Louis
sleigh riding
A few minutes before o'clock Due
strow arrived home and found the
sleigh awaiting him. The genral ac-
cepted version of the crime proper is
the testimony given by Katie Hahn, a
domestic in the DuestroW household.
She said she met Duestrow at the door
and asked him if he was going to take
his wife riding. This angered Due
strow and he ram upst airs to his wife s
room, and after some words, slapped
her face. Mrs. Duastrow upbraided
him for his conduct, which seems TO
have worked the murderer up to the
point at which he could no longer re-
strain his demoniacal passion. The
Hahn girl says she heard Mrs Due
strOw say. Don't shoot, Arthur; don
shoot" Three shots followed in rapid
succession.
The servant rushed upstairs and
found Duestrow standing over his
wife's body, revolver in hand, crying:
"Good-by, Tiny; are you dead?"
At this point the mans fury seemed
| to be diverted to his child. Grabbing
it up in his arms he held it against the
wall and emptied the other two cham
bers of the revolver into its head. 1t
died instantly. Duestrow then went to
the police station with the revolver in
his hand, and surrendered. He was
sobb'fng hySterically.
Il have killed my wife" he cried, but
1T was an accident. / suppose they Will
say / am a murderer: but | am NOT. 1t
was an accident" F." He tried to explain
that the revolver was discharged while
he was handling the weapon.
On February 14th the doctors re
moved the two bullets from Mrs. Due
sGrow's head, and it was thought she
might recover, but on February 18th
sine died, having never regained con-
sciousness.
Dlastrow. by the terms of his ia
ther's will, would draw SO. .666 66 a year
as long as he lived. Duestrow's father,

A Literary Forgery Exposed.

SO much for the history of the
country, has communicated TO the

story which Collier printed, in 1851,
from "A Letter of 1892" telling how
Sir Walter Raleigh hath been too in

l fear to say who, but if you should
guess at E T. you may not be far
wrong" On this letter the successive
biographers Of Raleigh have built an
edifice of conjecture. Unfortunately, the
story, which involves the disgrace Of Sir
Walter and a premature Imprisonment
in the Tower, is as difficult as it is pic
turesque. Mr.. Gosse, in his Life of
Raleigh" in 1856, was the first to sug-
gest that the wholes letter might be a
forgery but Mr.. Stebbing and others
who have followed him have relied upon
! its accuracy. But Mr.. Brushfield, who
has found and facsimiled Golfers draft
of the letter-no human being has ever
seen the original-settles the doubt, and
shows the whole thing to have been q
deliberate invention. In what q strange
! condition must the mind Of scholar be

dence to give Zest or color to q dull pas

| partly one of nature, but has been ag-
gravated by habit. The quality of tone
is further injured by the utter want
of education in the lateral crico-aryte-
| mold muscles, which, consequently, do
not perform their proper office in as
sisting the tension of the vocal cords by
| fixing the position of the trytenOid car
tilage. Furthermore, Mime. Screecholini

against the roof of her mouth imme-
diately behind the front teeth, but per-
mits part of it to pass through the pos
terror mares, thereby producing the eff

nical as singing through the nose. She
| also at times permits the back of her
| tongue to remain at too high a level in

| tones, and at other times she gives
painful evidence that she understands
nothing whatever of the action of the
