SCARED OUT OF HIS WITS.
A Tramp Looks Down a Barrel of Cold
Steel.

Steel.
A tramp called on Mrs. S. G.. Law
renee on Bond street Thursday even
ing at about $50 O'Clock, but he got
away from the place in a much livelier
fashion than he came. When he first
appeared at the door he asked Mrs.
Lawrence for something to eat and
demanded a cup of hot coffee. Mrs.
Lawrence remarked that that was ne
time of day to make any such demand
as that and she stepped back into the
room. The tramp then asked if he
could not be allowed to come into the
house Mrs. Lawrence was alone, and
thinking the last demand d strange
one she went to her bedroom and soon
emerged with a revolver.
Without noticing Mrs. Lawrence's
perturbation the tramp still further
inquired if she was alone. Then she
pointed the gun at him and told him it
made no difference whether she was
or not, if he valued his life he would
better skip. With terrible oath he
began at once to beg her not to shoot
and he made off as fast as his legs
would carry him.

TOOK HARNESS AND ROBES.
A Burglar Operates at the Joseph Thomas
Place.

About 9 o'clock Friday evening some
one went up to the house of Joseph
Thomas on Milwaukee avenue, went to
the rear of the house, opened the door
to the wood shed by drawing out the
staple, and with tools that were found
in the shed succeeded in getting into
the barn. He took the parts of TWO
different harnesses and small white
robe lined with red flannel. 1t is evil
dent that the person, whoever he was,
was very familiar with the premises
and had planned his operations. The
police are after the man.

Discussing Fall Litters.

In answer to your inquirer in refer
cnce to breeding sows for fall filters |
will say that it has been my experience
that it is best to breed them for fall lit
tiers. 1t is best to follow nature rs close
" as we can in the matter of breeding
When SOW suckles litter Of pigs and
weans them at the proper time it is nat
ural for her TO come in heat The system
is then in the best possible condition to
conceive another litter but if we de-
prive her the services of boar and con-
tinue to deprive her the generative or
gans soon begin to get weaker and the
SOW will usually get too fat, and finally
she will not stand in pig at oil. To
keep SOW in proper breeding tx she
should have two litters year and if pos
siple in March or April and September
or October, and il she has eight or ten
pigs the first litter so much the better
Let her suckle all Of them, as it will de-
velop all her milk organs and she will
be better sucker in the future.
When SOW loses her pigs it is always
in season. 1t is sometimes necessary to
hold SOW over some time in order to
get her started to have pigsin the spring
and fall, but il had n SOW that was
hard to get stand in pig would breed
her AZ soon as she came in after wean-
ing her pigs, even if il brought the
litter in January.

Light.

IL is now the general conclusion OF
scientists that light is simply the result
of vibrations or waves which occur i'll
hypothetical substance known as the
ether, substance supposed to permeate
all space and all objects and to be CO.
extensive with the universe. According
to this theory, when the ether is caused
TO vibrate at a certain rate it gives rise
to the sensation of light in proportion
to the rate of vibration, or, in other
words, the wave length. In this way,
chemists assert, the various colors are
produced, red having the longest wave
length and violet the shortest wave
length of any of the colors-that is,
there are more waves or vibrations in a
given time in the case of violet than in
the case of red light. Briefly, in rela-
ton to this peculiar phenomenon, the
theory is that colored bodies owe their
color to the fact that they exert a select
i've action on the waves or rays of light
which fall upon them, allowing some
to pass on, and so give the effect of color,
while others are absorbed or destroyed.
