more, Neb., shot and killed his father,
Captain Collins A. Burnham. A coro-
ner's jury Immediately exonerated
the son. Both father and son were
prominent political workers in the

himself up to the officers.
The captain came home in a delirious
state and made an assault upon his son.
The father used butcher knife, and
after getting his son in corner was in
the act Of plunging the knife in his
body. When there was no other alter.
native, the son drew a revolver and
fired q shot which went through the
fathers heart killing him instantly.

Effect of Fear on Wounds.

EHeCt Oh rear on "OUnuBs
The fear of poison in lacerated
wound under certain circumstances is
in itself quite sufficient to give
wounded man tetanus, or lockjaw,
than which no more horrible complica
ton exists. Thus for a long time it
was thought that the natives of the
Solomon and other neighboring is
lands lately aided to the empire used
poisoned arrows and many white men
shot by them died in tetanic convul-
sions, including one very horrible case
of commander in the navy who had
made special study of tetanus.
At length the French governor of
New Caledonia, noticing that the symp-
toms exhibited were not consistent
pointed a medical commission to in
quire into the affair, when it was dis
covered that the arrows of the natives
were not poisoned at all, although con-
structed in such a way that small
piece of the bone point almost always
remained in the wound. The irritation
produced by this prevented the wound
disturbance produced by fear and per
haps change of climate did the rest.
It was discovered at the same time
that the natives of other islands who
firmly believed in the poison theory
seldom suffered much Inconvenience
from the arrow wounds, because they
believed that the spells given. them by
their own sorcerers prevented the poi
son from taking effect.-Pall Mall Ga

Mrs. Wallart had tried to keep herhus-
band from r"turning to the house since
their separation.
During the day Wallart was in the
woods practicing with revolver. In
the evening he went to the farm, enter
ing the house by means Of one of the
windows at about 10 o'clock. His wife
was alarmed by the noise made on his
entry, and had started up from her bed,
but fell back with a fatal wound, being
found dead on the bed. The baby was
killed and thrown on the lounge. The
daughters dead body was afterwards
found on the floor Of her bedroom and
the boys were shot in their room. After
committing the horrible butchery Wal
lart went into the barn and set fire to
the stables, the flames completely de.

barn.
After the tragedy Wallart took to the
woods and thus far no trace of him has

Collar Models Are as Various as the Ma
terials For Making Them.
The woman whose wardrobe must
bo limited can scarcely overestimate
the value of having on hand q quan-
tity of extra stocks, lace collars, bole-
ros, novel berthas and fchus. Given
a liberal supply of these, a single
''best gown" may be changed from
time to time to present the appearance
of freshness for an unusual period.
The skilful needle-woman usually eau
manufacture these garnitures after re-
ceiving few general directions. Col.
lar models of the present season are
rs various as the materials in which
they may be made. They include
the plain high stock, the high pointed
shape. and those that curve upward
at the back. The foundation collar
is OF white tatfeta. Over this ia
draped smoothly thin cream-colored
batiste, outlined with narrow lace
motifs in which baby-ribbon plays a
part. Honiton figure designs would
prove the best mediums fcr the
needle-woman who desired to repro
duce this design at home. The stock
fastens invisibly in the centre of the
back. At the centre of the front is
placed a soft full bow composed of
two loops and a centre knot. The
long ends that remain are loosely
knotted at a point five and one-half
inches below the neck-band. Beyond
this knot the pointed embroidered
ends hang loose. The mid-length
knot is to be seen in nearly all fancy
oravats and scarf effects, whether of
chiffon, nousseline de sole, Brussels
net, or silk lawn.
Narrow ribbons are among the gar
nitures employed for the tafteta stock
These are from one-quarter to three
quarters of an inch in width, and
often are adjustable. The wider rib.
bons are passed twice about the neck
aud tied in a small bow in the front.
Narrow ribbon velvet and baby-rib-
bon are used plentifully upon stocks
OF mousseline de sole, and pretty
conceit consists in concealing the fas-
tening in the centre Of the back un-
der a succession of diminutiye bows.
Jabots are returning to favor, and
these are most useful among the
numerous forms Of neck garnitures,
supplying a pretty fulness to slender
figures. A simple method of making
these at home is to double length of
lace three to five inches wide and
shirr the plain edges together. Dis
tribute the fulness upon a backing of
ribbon IAN inch wide or less) in such
manner as to produce the effect of
butterfly cravat at the neck, and ad-
just to fancy ribbon taffeta or lace
covered stock. k.-Harpers Bazaar.
