School GarIeu0.

A valuable educational idea comes
from Germany, where school gardens
have iong been cultivated by the pupils,
two hours work per week being COM
pulsOry. The result Is that the COM
munity life is effected. The farms and
gardens are cultivated with new knowl-
edge; the boys and girls work in the
home grounds with greatly increased
interest. Destructive insects and dis
ease are watched for, and the crops
handled with the intelligent care that
comes from knowledge. The introduc-
ton of the school garden into this coun-
try IL entirely feasible. says Outlook.
1t would create a new avenue Of en-
ployment for the students In our agrt-
cultural colleges and experiment sta
tions; it would make another aven, !oH
the use of the knowledge collected by
our Department Of Agriculture. Our
township system would make a prac-
tical division for the control Of one agri-
cultural supervisor and instructor. In
stead Of the school house and grounds
being the least attractive and most bar
rem places In the town, they might be-
come an educating center. by the scien-
itific cultivation Of the grounds. as we'll

gardening to the whole community.

William A. Eddy. at Bayonne. on q

test in 4 blizzard, by sending aioft q
six-foot single plane kite during the
heavy gale and dense snowfall, sustain-
ing In this way a steel wire at a consid-
erable height So severe was the gale
that the Kite was repeatedly borne
down to within about fifty feet Of the
earth. but 1t always recovered its posi-.
tion aloft. The falling snow dimmed
the kite, but did not overweight It AT
5 p. m. the electric connection with the
steel wire was severed from the
grounding rod. when the kissing sound
Of the brush discharge could be plainly
heard, followed by . one-inch spark.
Mr.. Eddy says that the electrical activ.
ity with the kite at so moderate an alti-
tude was the greatest he has ever e1-
perienced. 1t was as powerful as II .

time the steel was paid out 1t was made
to run through an iron snaphook teth-
cred by a chain to q rod driven into the
ground. This was done by Mr.. Eddy
to lessen the danger from severe elec.
tric shocks.

The Pretty Young Woman Made the
Passengers Angry.
There was something strikinsly pic
tOrial in the appearance Of young
lady who sat in the upper left-hand
corner of q Jackson avenue trolley car
during one of its outbound runs the
other morning. says the New Orleans
mes-Democrat. 1t was due. no doubt
to many things-to the aristOcratic
slenderness of her figure; to her wide.

trich plumes that formed her hat; to
the geometric curve Of the towering
collar of her cape. At any rate. she

In just the proper folds and trousers

Everybody looked a. her, the men ad-
miringly and the women coldly. as they
always do when another woman Is bet
ter dressed, and she withstood the scru-
tiny with regal cOmposura She did
not seem aware that anybody else was
present At last the car neared her
corner. and when she had pressed the
button and the wheels were almost at
q standstill she arose calmly and glided
down the aisle. She was at the door
when the car came to a full stop. and,
seeing her stagger slightly from the
shock. the conductor instinctively laid
his hand upon her arm.
1t was a courteous and respectful act
and one that might have saved her
from a fall. but the instant his fingers
touched her sleeve the naughty beauty
leaped backward as II she had seen an
apparltion. Her delicate face went
pale and her dreamy eyes blazed.
Don't touch me. sir" she exclaimed.

young woman gathered her skirts and
passed swiftly through the door. well,

of superciliousness l ever witnessed in

of approval and the conductor thrust

Give the man you wish to benefit
your idea, and let him frame it in his
own thoughts. Don't do his thinking
for him. -
Some men are so busy trying to avoid
work than they have no time to earn
bread for their families.
Poverty Is not dishonorable any more
than sickness; it is only the cause of it
that may be dishonorable.
Only those who touch God can teach
men.
The fact that God has no pleasure
in the death of the wicked does not
infer that He is satisfied with their
life.
The most important work for the
present is that for the future.

Maddened BY the refusal of his wife
10 leave the paramour for whom she
had deserted her home Benjamin
Steigemann went last evening to the
apartment which the woman has occu-
pied for some days with her partner in
crime and shot her in the back Then
he turned the revolver on himself.
Mrs. steigemann Is lying at the
cBeen's Hospital with two bullet
wounds In her body and the doctors
who were operating upon her at mid
night gave little hope of her recovery.
Steigsmann has bullet in his brain
and his recovery seems impossible.
II was at sos o'clock last evening
that the dweilers in the Honolulu Hotel
On Nuuanu street near Vineyard were
Startled BY the sound Of three revolver
shots in rapid succession and the
screams OF a woman coupled with the
shouts Of a man. Proprietor Art Nc
Doweil ran upstairs and to the end of
The long hall which runs from the front
to the back OF the building. In room IL
on the makai side at the rear end of the
hail he found two people, a man and a
woman lying on the floor bleeding
sorely from wounds which seemed that
they would be almost instantly fatal,
while an old man stood over the woman
wringing HIS hands and crying out volu-
bly, IN German 20 her, or alternately
lshrieking for help.
/ The room was all in disorder. The
man lay with his head half against the
waIl and the blood bubbled from his
lips and all the wall above him was
spattered with it. and in his fall he had
swept down the ornaments which had
hung there and they lay under him.
The woman was beside him on her face,
IN deshabHle as though she had been
aroused from bed to receive him. Her
CLOTHES lay scattered about the room.
The door which led onto the veranda
was securely fastened with a chair
back under the knob, as though she
feared that someone might enter by II
aFainst her VIII. The revolver lay be-
eide the man within reach Of his hand.
~ r u had but just fallen from It.

so I closed up my store and we went
up to the place where she had been stay
| ing with this other fellow. We went to
her door for her husband knew just
where to find her and knocked. She
asked who was there and said that
wanted to come in. She started to open
the door and then I said that her hus-
band wished to talk to her. At first
she refused but finally she let us in.
Her husband talked to her for a long
time and urged her with tears in his
eyes to come back to her home. Final
ly she said that she would come back
In the morning but that he must go
away for tonight. They did not quar-

single look at the situation 1t was
seen that both the victims must be re-
moved for treatment II either were to
live and they were placed upon stretch
ers and taken to the Queens Hospital
as rapidly as possible. With them went
the old man who was found in the room
with the two, for he vowed that he
would not be separated from his daugh-
ter, crying out when the officers wish
ed to take him to the Police station
that the woman was his daughter, that
he would go where she went and they
should not take him away from her.
At the hospital it was discovered very
quickly that both Steigemann and his
wife were very seriously wounded. DR..
Emerson ascertained that the man had
a wound in the right side of the fore
head where a bullet had evidently en-
tered and at the back of the head just
level with the lobe of the left ear was
a protuberlance which seemed to show
the location of the bullet. An examin-
alton of Mrs. Steigemann showed two
wounds in her back on the right side.
One Of these was badly powder-burned
showing that the weapon had been held
close to her body. while the other which
was n little higher and nearer to the
spinal column was not so severely
burned. Above the left breast was a
ragged wound and from this n 3S-
calibre bullet fell as the woman was
,undressed.
