SKULL WAS FRACTURED.
South birmingham Mans
Fatal Fall From Second
Story Window.

South birmingham, April 16.-Wil-
liam Lee, 81 years old, employed at the
works of the Dennison Manufacturing
company, fell from the second story
window at his lodging house at Grant
and Clark streets this morning some
time about o'clock, sustaining a COM
pound fracture of the skull at the base
of the brain, from the effects of which
he died two hours later
From his room mate it was learned
that Lee, who was something of a BIZ
cyclist, took a spin to Ashland last
night, returning home shortly before
midnight, retiring some time later.
About 1.S0 Lee was taken suddenly i'll
with nausea, and he went to a window
to admit some fresh air. He recover
ed somewhat and again retired.
At o'clock he again felt the sensa-
ton of nausea, returning and went to
the window the second time. The sill
was rather low, and the unfortunate
man not noticing it, reached out too
far, losing his balance, and falling out
into the street, striking violently on
his head on the ground.
He was unconscious when picked up,
and it was at once perceived that the
unfortunate man was past recovery.
Three physicians were called, but des-
pite their efforts to resuscitate him, he
passed away without regaining con-
seriousness.
The young mans parents in RoXbury
were notified of the accident, and the
body was sent to their home this af-
ternoOn,

which it has been taken by Coughlin
and Cooney slightly more than $4,000.
Three thousand pine boxes must be
provided which will cost at least 81
each. Three thousand graves, approx
imately must be opened in the new
cemetery, and several acres of ground
in the old part of the old cemetery will
have to be entirely dug over to depth
of feet. In the new part many
graves will have to be opened to a
depth of feet. A first class laborer
cannot open more than three graves in
a day and will receive at least $1.50
for days work. To this must be ad-
ded the cost of filling in the graves in
the new cemetery.
To this must be added the cost of
hauling the remains distance of two
miles, the cost of removing and setting
up headstones and monuments. Disin-
fectants must be furnished and there
is besides the risk of breaking a mon
ument, which may be worth $500 In
cases of breakage the contractor would
be responsible. To men MO are famil-
lar with this class of work there is
only one streak of daylight. 1t is that

THE LIMIT REACHED.

1t would seem as if there must be a
limit somewhere to the present low
prices of parlor furniture. 1t is easily
understood how cheap furniture can
be sold for a cheap price, but when
such a parlor set as that described in
another column by the Paine Furniture
Company is offered at the low price
of s115, it is a matter not easy to com
prehend. If such reductions continue
we shall soon have furniture actually
given away.

FIGHTING HORNETS.
Boys Who Would Attack Then

Valuable Advice.

Boys who propose to lombard hor-
nets nests may find valuable informa-
ton in the description, by Henry
Lnney, in the Scientific American. Of
the way these insects defend their
homes. There is always sentinel in
watch at the entrance, and when a stone
Is thrown at the nest, the hand tina,
threw it has been marked as sure as
the sun shines, and before the attack
ing party can turn the head he will
feel u stunning blow on the forehead,
and possibly drop to the earth With
pain, for the hornet flies with such We.
locity that the human body is not swift
enough in movement to get out of the
way
IN making such a charge, Mr.. Lancy
says, the hornet flies with head and
tail together" ard the sting is driven
deep. But if the boy gets behind a tree
or bush. and throws from shelter, he is
likely to escape, because the horn ct
seems to possess little power Of locating
the enemy at sight When the delivery
OF stone is followed by successful
charge, Mr.. Laney thinks, it is because

CARE OF TIRES.

Do not ride tires fat. \ few miles
of such treatment will damage them
more than a full seasons riding. Tires
should not be soft unless you want
them to wear out by chatting on the
rims, or have the inner tube cut by
pounding against the spoke heads.
Use care in handling the valve of your
tires. Do not treat them roughly by
screwing in the pump in hurry. Keep
them free from dirt and dust on the in
side If valve does not work we'll,
pump a drop Of water through it. No
particular care need be given the rub
Der. All rubber will wear out in time,
particularly in this climate, but it is
not materially injured by weather, dirt
or water. 1t is well, however, to keep
it clean from oil and grease, as both
