AN EXTRAORDINARY CRIME.
The Victim Put Where Her story Of
1t Was Taken for In
sane Tnlk.

In the month of December last, says
the Mexican Herald, an elegantly
dressed man presented himself to the
governor Of the district and solicited
the admittance of his aunt, a lady
whose name, he said, was Mrs. Aurelia
Granados de james, into the insane
asylum for women in Canoa street. He
said that she had lost her mind and
that, as there was no one to look after
her, he was afraid that some accident
might happen to her. The governor Is
sued the permit and the lady was adj
mitted into the hospital.
The lady was not violently crazy, but
she complained to the doctors of pain
in her head and she was constantly say
ing that a man had driven a nail into
her head. The attendants of the asy-
lum paid no attention to this statement
as it was thought to be part of her
rawlings.
The lady gradually got worse and
died.
DR.. Alberto Lopez Hermosa, d.
rector of the asylum, and DR.. Fran
cisco, de p. Echeverria, assistant
director, believing that the lady's
case had been peculiar one, ex
amined her Uranium after death and
made sort of preliminary autopsy Tc
their establishment they found in the
region of the right temple the head OF
a steel wire nail, which proved to b,
| about eight centimeters In length The
flesh had almost cicatrized over the
nails head and the latter was hardly
visible.

THE NEW BOY.
His Training 10 One More Advance
Toward the Reversal OF Sex
Occupation.

The new boy is Of later origin than
the new woman, says a lady writer
who has discovered him. He can
make his own bed, sew buttons on his
own clothing, cook his own breakfast
or wash the dishes, and is not consld-
cred a sissy for so doing. He can
carry on successfully bachelor es-
tablishment for his father and him
self, make out the menus, hire the
domestics and even do his part So
cially without losing his place among
the first six in school,
The new boy is the result of grow
ing belief among mothers and edu-
Gators that domestic training is just
as good for boys as for girls. They
argue that domestic trained boy
makes the best kind Of husband
and that the brother that is obliged
occasionally to make his own bed or
boil an egg will not look down on his
sister for doing these same things.
Also, that the girl who can use her
brothers kit of tools will no longer
Sohsioci MN superior pciiib ptchust
the tools are his property rather than
hers. Again, the advocates Of domes-
tic training for boys say that, while
there will always be division of oc-
equations in the family, as in society,
there is this difference in the family,
that in those occupations which re-
late to the common life there ought
TO be common performance else the
division of labor will result in a d.
vision of feeling and of thought.

TRAVELLING BACTERIA.
Precautions Taken by Railway Com
panies to Protect Passengers
from Infection.

A medical journal calls attention to
the general neglect of sanitary and
hygienic methods in the management
of sleeping cars. There are stringent
regulations about the transportation
of dead bodies in baggage cars. but
there is no adequate and systematic
provision for protecting living travel
ers from exposure to disease -produc-
ing germs in the bedding or uphol-
stery.
1t is customary to cleanse the blan-
kets and cushions of dry dust and
cinders by subjecting them to power
full currents of air, driven by steam,
but it is said that they are seldom so
thoroughly treated as to remove the
danger of infection Unless railroad
authorities take prompt measures, it
seems to be the duty of state boards
of the travelling public.
This is only one case among many
il which new occasions teach new
duties" Almost every invention or
advance in modern life creates situa-
tions which require the fresh applica-
ton OF old. eternal principles. 1t re-
quires the strong pressure of law or
of public opinion to secure the adop-
ton of new and needed methods. even
when health, comfort and life are at
risk. Only the Undetermined can

Clipping Clover Fields.


A writer in Ohio Farmer advocates
the clipping of clover the first year af-
ter the wheat is off, and even twice
If necessary to prevent it from BIOS
soming, as that weakens the next
years growth. This year he clipped
on August 1 and clipped again in Sep
TENDER. He has done so for several
years until year before last, and he
said he would never omit it again.
The hay last year where it was not
clipped was very dirty, full of stub
BILE and trash, while where too large a
growth was made before winter, II
lodged and smothered out the crop.
He cuts high, removing the swath
board. and likes to cut just after a
rain, leaving all the growth on the
ground as mulch, which protects the
roots in winter and keeps the ground
more moist in summer. 1t might be
pastured off and get some growth for
cattle or sheep, but they will not feed
on the ranker growing places, and
feed the other too closely, thus making
them liable to be winter killed. He
does not think this pays, and would
prefer to grow green crops to help out
the pasturage than to use the newly
seeded fields. He wants to leave
clover about six inches high When
winter comes.

Short and Useful Pointers.

A farmer can always profit by OBJ
servation as well as experience.
1t does not take long for the reck-
less farmer to realize his foolishness.
Some farmers feed celery to their
hens to improve the flavor of the meat.
Charcoal cannot be used as grit for
poultry; it is too soft for that pur-
pose.
When handled rightly turkeys are
among the most profitable products OF
the farm.
During the last 100 years dairying
has made more progress than any
other branch of farming.
Burnt corn with the cob makes the
best charcoal for hens. Twice week
is often enough to feed it.
Farmers should keep themselves in
formed as to the markets. as they are
constantly changing year by year.
Don't imagine that poultry do not re-
ouire any care. 1t is only those focks
that receive every attention that pay
big profits.
point in favor of bees Is that they
insure the fertilization of fruit, which
is an important matter that the Amer
lean farmer has only lately began t.
realize.
The care of poultry is not "women''
work" There Is too much money II
it for the men to slight it. Nobody
male or female. can afford to sligh
! tha hsns.

Winter RibbonA

Ribbons, except slightly as garni--
ture, have been rather in the BACK
ground for several seasons past. 1t IS
promised. however, that this winter
will see them again in renewed favor.
Velvet and lace effects In silk gauze'
most artistically handled, are promi-
nent among those promised to be most
fashionable. Then usually the velvet
is Of some light tint on a background
of black. white or some shade OF vel
low. Extremely pretty ones have mar
row black velvet stripes alternating
with Pompadour effects In colored
broclie. Satin or silk gauze founda-
lions i'm delicate shades, with figures
of black velvet or satin I'm relief, are
novel and striking designs among
these new fall ribbons.
From Paris comes an odd conceit in
Nos. 30 and 40, used there for millinery
garniture in large choux, or for a
bodice adjunct in long loops and ends
from the waist line in back without
waist band. These ribbons have vel
vet dot, about the size Of pea, sur
rounded by gold or silver threads
forming rays. Black and white, with
out any additional color, are given the
preference. Sash-width ribbons in
double-faced satin, MORE antique and
velvet, with handsome deep-knotted
fringe woven in the ribbon to finish
the ends, will be quite a feature of
afternoon and evening gowns this win
ter. The narrow widths Of all kinds
will be worn, particularly black velvet
Some new effects are to the fore for
stock ribbons in plain gauze. with q
double back and white line forming
the edge, and more elaborate kinds in
tiny plaid checks, Pompadour and JAG
guard designs.

The Cucumber's Foes.

Professor Charles ID. Woods, direc-
tor of the Maine Experiment Station,
has issued a valuable leafiet dealing
with cucumber enemies. The essay
takes up the striped beetle as follows:
This well-known insect, with its yell
low coat and black stripes on the wing
covers, feeds on all kinds of cucurbi.
taceous plants cucumber, melon,
squash, pumpkin, ETC., and often ap-
pears in such numbers as to ruin the
entire growing crop.
Remedies: 1. Plow out and destroy
all cucumber and squash vines as soon
as the crop is off to destroy any larvae
that may then be in the roots.
2. Planting an excess Of seed, to dis
tribute the injury, is common prac'
tice, as is also the system of starting
the seed in pots, boxes or sods, and
transferring the plants to the field at
ter they are well established.
3. A free use of tobacco dust lime
or land plaster about the bases of the
young plants is often recommended.
4. In large fields driving is some
times practiced. Before the middle OF
the day the farmers SOW air slaked
lime with the wind, and this seems
sufficient to drive most of the insects
to the leeward.
5. The planting of few large hills
of squash among the cucumbers, as
traps, Is sometimes recommended
since the insects seem specially partial
to the squash.
6. Spray the plants with Bordeaux
mixture and paris-green formula p
being careful to reach the under sides
of the leaves.
Z. One of the surest preventives Ii
to cover the hill at the time of plant
ing with a box over which is placed
mosquito netting.

Artificial Brothers

A flock of four or five hundred broif-
ers pays a handsome profit If one raises
them i'm time for the best markets, and
then gets his price. Broilers sell from
$15O to So per pair in the best season,
but the one who raises them rarely
averages more than Is cents to 81 per
pair. There are those who get the lat
ter ON the average right along. That
is. they receive more than this in the
best season, and less during the sea-
son of plenty, but they average the
sales Of 81 per pair.
But on the other hand there are some
who find brOiler raising total failure,
and they do not get their money back
from the investment Some reasons
for this success or failure should be
apparent. To start good colony OF
broilers for the early markets the in
cubators should be started to work
early in November, and then the broil-
ers will be ready for market early in
March, the season when the highest
prices are paid. For 400 broilers one
needs at least 800 eggs, for one cannot
depend on more than so per cent.
Matching. These eggs should cost all
the way from $40 to SIS, according to
the price of fresh eggs in the locality.
The cost for time, labor. and similar
items cannot be taken into account, for
these represent the working capital of
the farmer, and must be given in re-
turn for a living and anything over.
Careful attention to business details is
necessary for success with the broilers
from the time the eggs are purchased
until they are sold. The chickens can
not be fed for nothing, and the ques-
ton of profits will largely depend upon
how this work is done. 1t is here that
profits are cut down and actually
turned into losses at times. One must
study the economy of winter feeding
more than anything else. Granted that
the whole expense of winter feeding
and raising should amount to 500, we
then have profit of 500 to show fol
! 100 DAYS or three months. This is no,
great. and would be very unsatisfac
tory if one had to depend upon it alone
for living. But added to the Other
profits from eggs, and the farm crops
in summer. it will do to encourage us
TO make more of our winters. Usual
ly this seems to be season Of idle
ness on the farm, and IL we can con-
vert it into a season when we car
make 500 there is no reason to com

Portable Racks

For CATTLE good rack may be made
with common rough boards and few
pieces of scantling. Make them four
or five feet wide, ten or twelve feet
long, and two feet deep; have four by
four inch scantling in the corners, and
also in the center of the ends, running
up twelve or fifteen inches above the
top of the rack; to the latter nail in
center partition lengthwise; thus you
have a double rack where cattle Will
eat contentedly.
Do not have the end boards or pieces
of scantling reach down as low as the
side boards and then by rounding up
the ends of the side boards, after the
manner of sled runners, the racks may
be easily drawn from one place to an
other
