SUSPICION OF FOUL PLAY.
Drowning of Rudolph Harris Near Mt
Vernon.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va. September 25.-In-
telligence reached here this afternoon Of
the drowning of Rudolph Harris, colored
son of Thomas Harris of this city, which
occurred last night in the Potomac near
Mount Vernon. Thomas Murray, the cap
tain and owner of a scow on which Harris
was employed, states that when the lat
ter went overheard he disappeared from
sight, and did not come to the surface
again. In his opinion the manner of the
drowning indicated foul play. The suppo-
sition was strengthened by knowledge of
trouble which Harris had a few days ago
with another colored man on the boat His
body has not yet been recovered. He lived
at No. 613 South Pitt street, where he
leaves family.

Some Laws of Health.

New York Evening Post.
It happened that at the hour on Friday aft
ernoon Of last week when Ex-Governor Flow
er was stricken with his fatal attack of indi-
gestion a woman physician was addressing
a company of women in a New York parlor
upon the philosophy Of foods. In the course
OF her talk reference was made TO the great
risk Of eating when overfatigued. The pro-
cesses Of digestion were stopped, said the
speaker, and serious consequences often en-
sued. Similarly. eating when very much ex-
cited from a pleasurable or other cause. or
when very angry, was declared 10 be very
dangerous. The well-known fact Of infants
going into fatal commissions after nursing
from an angry or agitated mother was cited,
and the listeners We're urged 10 appreciate
the Importance of the care needed in the
conduct of meals. To prepare and serve
wholesome food is not the limit of the house
keepers responsibility in table matters. She

when we talk is small. In reading, graces

does not mean nowadays any large outlay;
rather care and taste expended in the choice
of decorations and table service. A fresh
ening of the toilet. too, of every member
of the household should not be neglected,
even in the most modestly conducted estab-
lishment.
The speaker also touched upon the diet of
the average summer boarder. A fairly late
breakfast. at which cereals. chops, ham and
eggs, fried potatoes, hot bread, hot cof1ee,
and plenty of ice water are the usual menu,
is followed by a walk to the mail. a little
lolling and strolling, ard at midday a dinner.
This comprises ice water, soup, Ice water,
meat. ice water. vegetables. ice water, pies;
buildings, and sweets, with ice water and
perhaps tea or coffee at the finish, but surely
ice water. After this meal there is not much
temptation to exercise. and a lounge In the
hammock. followed by a retirement to the
corner of the piazza or TO ones own room for
a sluggish sleep that is mistakenly called a
nap. is the usual procedure. A fresh toilet
in the late afternoon gets up enough vigor
in a person of normal health to be ready for
the hot supper of ice water alternating with
another list of hearty edibles. 1t is small
wonder, the speaker concluded, that the
summer outing often does not prove the ben
eft expected.

There is one OF the vexed questions
among swine breeders as well as far-
mers Our observation has been that
to breed only from young and not fully
matured sows is to lose size In the on
spring, says Michigan Farmer. IL the
SOW is a good one, the breeder Is wise
in retaining her so long as she gives
him a fair-sized litter Of good pigs
each year. We believe thai many
breeders have lost size, bone, and con-
sequently stamina. from relying en-
tirely upon young stock for breeding
animals. The farmer who raises hogs
for market, however, stands in differ
ent position from the breeder. His
business Is to furnish hogs for the
block in the best finished and cheapest
manner possible. Hence he must have
large litters of pigs which will mature
quickly, and when ready for market
will ship we'll and arrive at their des-
tination in the best condition to meet
market requirements. IL he has
brood SOW that is an extra good breed
er, gives large litters and raises them
well, then 1t is good policy to keep her
several years-or until she begins to
prove less satisfactory, and then mar
ket her. We believe brood SOW Is
always more satisfactory after she has
had at least one litter. She takes bet
ter care of the young pigs, and as
rule is a better mother in every re-
spect. To market a brood SOW after
having only one litter, and relying
always upon young ones, is not good
policy. 1t will be better to have those
a little older, and let the boar be the
youngest Of the two. But each indi-
vidual case should be treated by itself.
The best policy is to make careful
selection Of the sows bred. and then
keep the one or more that proves the
most satisfactory.

The start In Poultry.

The best way to start in the poul-
try business on large scale is to start
with only a few, learn all you can
about chickens, and then try to breed
all the good birds you can take care
OF without crowding, the first year,
says Pacific Poultryman. II, at the
end Of the year, you are satisfied to go
ahead, and have enough money on
hand to get everything ready for a
larger breeding flock, as we'll as to
carry you through the year for the nec-
essaries Of life. then you might quit
your job and start in: but remember,
that this first year Is what counts.
You learn whether you have a taste
for the business, and get a pretty good
idea OF raising poultry. The second
year you should be able to produce q
6ock large enough to enable you to
20 into 1t more heavily, and with or
dinary success you should make a good
living OF Of FIVE hundred hens we
should strongly advise you, when start
ing, to be governed by the following
rules: First start with the best to be
had; second, decide which you de-
sire to breed for-eggs or meat; third,
get one variety, and stay with 1t.
