near the NJ Street bridge spanning the
James Greek canal between South Capitol

and Irene Brown, both colored at. about

told the police she was on her way from
work to her home, 81 NJ Street southwest,
when she was attacked by the women. One
of these held her. she alleged, while the
other beat her over the head with a brick.
They then threw her on the ground and
commenced to kick. and beat her with
stones. The attention OF some of the people
living in the neighborhood was attracted
by the struggle, and the assailants ran.
When they were gone il was found that
they had taken $l.25. all the money their
victim had with her. The police soon
caught the two women and their victim
was removed to the hospital. where it was
found that she was severely bruised about
the head and body, but was not seriously
hurt. The Beverly woman told the sur
geon at the hospital that she had been as
saulted the night before at the same place
by the same women and that they had tax
en- another small sum of money from her
on that occasion. She claimed that the wo-
men wanted to kill her last night because

INCUBATOR CHICKS.
After They Jiave Been Taken
from the Machine

Take chicks from incubator as soon
as they are dry, place in basket with
piece Of flannel under and over them,
and set near the stove or in warm
place; do not feed for "a hours. Then
remove TO brooder heated to so or 80
degrees, and feed few bread crumbs.
Keep clean water before them, arranged
so they cannot get wet. a tumbler up
side down in saucer makes good
fountain. After first feed, inclose them
under hover of brooder till next feed
Feed often and little at a time; they
must not be overfed feed four or five
times day, regularly, and inclose I'M
der hover after each feed. Clean away
all food that is left; no stale food Teach
them to go under hover. Wheat and
cracked corn should be the main food
after fifth day. Don't habituate them
to one kind of food. They should be
hungry for their last feed of the day,
just before dark. This last feed should
be hard, dry grain. Be persistent in
making them go under the hover, from
the first, until they learn that it is a
mother to them. Never let them be-
come chilled by budding in corners
outside of hover. A chilled chick will
generally die of bowel trouble. II
front and top of brooder are made of
glass, the sun will blister the chicks
when it shines hot, and give them bowel
complaint. When they huddle in cor
ners, it is too hot or too cold. Carry
out these directions for week or ten
days and you will have no further
trouble. You can then let them out,
but make them all come in early every
evening for few days. Keep dry grain
in trough in the brooder, to induce
them to return.-Ohio Farmer.

Dobbs Ferry. DR.. and Mrs. Keyes had
arranged 20 stay over night at the
Casino.
From the accompanying sketch it
will be readily understood how it was
that Dr. Keyes caused the accident
which resulted in the death of himself
and his wife. The Casino is equipped
with both electric and gas light, the
electric current having been in use
on the evening in question. In turning
off the key in the lamp socket it is
proba BILE that DR.. Keyes' thumb or
finger struck the gas key, which must
have been quite loose, and accidentally
turned it about three-fourths around.
The result was :hat sufficient gas es-
capped to kill the two occupants of the
room.
The proper design for the combina-
ton of electric and gas-light fixtures
is subject of vital Importance, and
the location of the two respective keys

bic. 1t seems to the Electrical Review
that the designer of fixture Of the sort

If about 25 hens are kept-for top and
bottom pieces. Next cut two pieces of
the boards same length for side pieces.
Next cut four pieces one inch thick,
four inches wide, and "a inches long and
nail these cleats across the boards for
end pieces, four inches from one end, so
they will extend out four inches on
either side. Then cut four more cleats
like the above, but only 16 inches long,
and nail these across the board 16 inches
below the other cleats, or 20 inches from
the ends. Now nail the long boards to
the end pieces where the cleats come, in
the same way as you would make box
16 inches square, but hinge one of the
boards on the side for door to open to
the nest boxes.
Next nail two cleGts "a inches long
across the end boards six inches from
the bottom, SO that the ends will eX-
tend out either side four inches, for a
support for the feed troughs. Make nest
boxes ten inches square, and eight
inches high, and set them in row
close to the side next to the door, so as
to leave space six inches wide for an
alley, from which the hens 60 to their
nests. At one end of the alley cut a
hole for the hens to come in. Cut two
pieces of board four inches wide to nail
on the sides of the platform under the
perches, then cut two pieces six inches
wide to nail on the sides of the platform
to keep the manure on it. Make the
perches of 2x3 pieces, and cut notches
on top of the end boards to hold them
in place. The door in front of the nest
boxes may be hinged at either the bot
! tom or top; il at the top, it can be fas-
tened with button. When all is done,
give it good coat of whitewash. The
nest boxes are easily removed and
cleaned, and if you have setting hen
you can easily remove her on the nest.

and, besides this, Mr.. Amies claims
that his blocks are the most durable,
that such thing as rut or hollow will
be unknown on grass-paved streets
that, in fact, the mineral matter which
falls upon the grass roadway will only
make it smoother and stronger, the
seeming paradox of this statement be-
ing supported by the claim that the
grass blocks are elastic and moisture
proof and therefore incorporate with
themselves any mineral matter that
comes their way.
Mr.. AmieS saysthat his paving blocks
can be made, by process of eatment
of which he alone possesses the secret,
of the consistency of granite, while the
slippery surface common to asphalt
and wooden paving is entirely absent,
and the moistness of granite pave
ment unknown, as the resilient sur
face of the grass blocks offers a vel
wety surface to the hoofs of the horses
that makes their tread quiet and or
derly thud.
The cain is made that the grass
blocks a1e calculated to outlast any of
the granite or wood paving now in
use. So confident is Mr.. Amies of this
that he is willing to guarantee the
blocks for period of five years. Mr..
Amies declares that 'any required de-
gree of density may be given to the
III r1. n 30
which they have been subjected. A
density of from rs to 60 pounds per
cubic foot may be attained. They may
be made as dense as mahogany (the

is for Spanish mahogany SO pounds

which weighs IS pounds to the cubic

Paving blocks made of coarse marsh

congresses by hydraulic means into

of special preparation of oil, tar and

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

A small hive increases the tendency
to swarm.
Some queens are very prolific, much
more so than others.
Melt candied honey very slowly or
the flavor will be spoiled.
If necessary to use candy now use ii
in wooden butter dishes.
Rosin should never be used to fasten
in the foundations; it spoils the combs.
The first honey of any account in
the spring comes from the golden will
low.
Take good care of the empty frames
of comb; they will be needed next
spring.
Scrape sections when the propolis is
brittle, rather than in warm room or
on warm day.
There is no danger of communicate
ing foul brood to hive by use of a
comb foundation.
Winter disease or dysentery may
originate from impure honey, or from
long confinement.
Itrequires only a lecapital to COM
mence in beekeeping, two or three col
onies being enough.
Bee paralysis develops very slowly.
Often bees showing symptoms in the
fall do not die till spring.
AS soon as deep cell foundation is
given to the bees they begin to thin
down the walls to natural thickness.
When the cases are supplied with
drawn comb and the bees are fairly at
work the desire to swarm is lessened.
Bees VIII build combs in wired
frames just as readily as if no wire
were present. They will deviate to
make separate comb where the wire
is.-St. Louis Republic.
