SuiCided in Chicago.

Oswald Kramer was found dead in
room of Rauschild's hotel, 70 Kinzie
street, yesterday. The man came to
the hotel about 10 o'clock Friday
evening and asked for room. He said
that he had just come from Michigan.
He failed to appear in the morning
and about noon Clerk Harry Roberahn
went to Kramer's room. He got no
response to his knock and then looked
over the transom. The man was seen
lying across the bed. The clerk
broke in the door and then notified
the police, who removed the body to
Curtains undertaking rooms at 148
Wells street. In the mans pocket
was found $161.20. a membership
ticket to a cigarmakers' union in
Watertown, Wisconsin, and naturali-
zatiOn papers. He was about 40 years
old and well dressed. Nothing was
learned of the mans friends by the
coroner's inquest and simple verdict
of suicide by carbolic acid was re-
turned"

the death by his own hand of a we'll
known citizen of this city. Mr.
Kramer was cigarmaker by trade
and at one time conducted factory
here in company with his brother.
He retired from business several
years ago, however, and of late had
not followed the trade, devoting his at
tention to small farm which he and his
family occupied on West street, Third
ward. About a month ago he left
home for the purpose of seeking en-
ployment. He was a person of quiev
disposition and AT times was known
to act queerly. He was probably not
in his right mind when he committed
the rash act. Mr.. Kramer was not
member of the Cigarmakers' Bene 10
lent society of this city, but had be-
longed to a union which existed here
number of years ago. The remains
were brought here Monday and the
funeral occurred yesterday afternoon
from the family home to Oak Hill
cemetery. Deceased is survived by
his widow and two children.

Bulgarian Ecccntricities.

The same weight garments are worn
by the Bugarians all the year round.
There are no sudden changes in the eli
mate, consequently there is little sick
ness, and pulmonary affections are un-
heard of. All names of persons end
with "koN," which has the same sig
nificance as the word son in the Eng
lish language. Entire families live to-
gcther. Crandfathers, sons. daughters,
with their wives and husbands and chill
dren, all live under the same roof.
There are no carpets, rockers, or even
chairs in the houses, while pianos and
organs are things undrcamed of. The
people neither smoke, drink nor chew,
and, us whole, they are virtuous. The
most striking thing in the country is
the inferior position given women.
They are not allowed to attend schools
or even permitted to learn to read'and
write. \ wife would not dare to walk
on the street with her husband, but
must walk behind at respectful dis
tance. Women are not allowed to sit
in the main audience-room of churches,
but must take their seats in n gallery
set apart for them exclusively

HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN.

The cow loveth generous feeder.
Better let that calf be little fat thar
little starved.
No man can have clean conscience
and dirty cow-stable.
BE sure you are feeding the good COW
enough; be more sur. you are not feed
ing poor one too much.
The good COW will make milk either
from her food or from her system
feed is cheaper than COW.
Let the cows bed be warm and clean
and comfortable these nights-Jack
Frost is an Unsuitable consumer of milk
Not the least valuable merit of good
rich silage is its palatability; to make
the cows mouth water" is wise part
of feeding.
Cows don't always know enough
when turned out in the cold to skip
around to keep warm and make them
selves healthy" They are more like
ly to find the most protected spot and
stand still while they ruminate upon
the proposition that their owner is a
fool.-W. +. McSparran, in National

The Gaelic, Erse, Welsh and Manx do
b; differ very much in essentials.
hey are all forms Of one original lam

The Morse language survived in parts
the Shetland isles as late as the end
last century, and many words of it
re still in use in that part of the king

In some baronies of Wexford a very

MODEL DAIRY COW.

dairy form shows herself to be of ex.
ceptional dairy merit, but the best
dairy cows so uniformly correspond to
such external characteristics that one
will make no mistake in making the
dairy form his ideal in breeding. Not
all cows with dairy form" show en-
eellence at the pail and churn; but
few, on the other hand, show such ex-
cellence that do not show these ex-
ternal characteristics. 1t is the only
wise course, then, to breed for them
and to regard the exceptions that oc-
cur as proving the rule"
The distinguishing external marks
that characterize Il good dairy COW
which are so excellently shown in this
outline-are wedge-shape for the
body, large in the 'barrel" and rear
quarters, and light and thin in the
fore-quarters; large udder with
large, well-placed teats, looseness and
yellowness of skin; severe leanness of
body as opposed to the rounded and
plump form of the purely beef an
imal, thinness of neck. fineness and
waXiness of horrs, ''dishing" face,
and full, mild eye. Experience has
shown that the great body of the best
dairy cows possess such points as have
been mentioned. 1t is safe, then, for
the breeder to photograph such an
outline as is here given firmly upon
his mind.-Webb Donnell, in Orange

THE DAIRY STABLE.
Odors should BE the Propri.
etOr's First Duty.

Keeping the COW stable clean and
sweet is one of the necessary requi-
sites of good dairying. 1t is impos-
sible to draw milk in stable that is
nauseating in its atmosphere and have
the milk pure. The atmosphere fur
nishes the cause Of bad odors that
become worse when developed in the
milk. 1t is not infrequent that q man
takes great pains to have his hands
washed and clean clothes on when he
miIks, and yet allows the odors Of the
manure to so permeate the whole
stable that tits impossible to get good
results as to clean product. Every
few months the stable should be given
thorough cleaning, using not only
lyc washes but disinfectants as well.
Then the daily task should be to keep
it clean. OF course it is not possible
to do as great New Jersey dairyman
does-keep n man to do nothing but
to remove the droppings as fast as
they are made, but the barn should be
cleaned out often enough to prevent
the odors from permeating every
thing. Whitewashing is valuable be-
cause 1t not only covers up germs that
may have escaped the disinfectant
washes, but acts as u reminder to the
dairyman that his stable is to be kept
clean. Dirt cannot accumulate on
whitewash without being recognized,
and thus the clennings are likely to be
nearer together. Some have adopted
the practice of painting the boards
near the cows with coal tar. This
would appear to be a good thing, as it
prevents the boards taking in filth
and holding it. They should also he

The Consumption of Butter.

The statement that the consumption
Of butter per capita is increasing is
true and is likely to have an important
bearing on the dairy interests of the
whole country. Butter has become a

orally used every year, especially when
wage earners are well employed. Peo-
