Eggshells may be used to advantage
in starting delicate plants for trans
planting. The half shells are filled
with earth and set In box also con-
tanning danpcned earth. "A hole Is
made in the point Of the shell to allow
drainage. A single seed is then plant
ed in each shell, which Is easily broken
when transplanting Is done without the
slightest disturbance of roots. This
use Of eggshclls Is the discovery Of a
French gardener, who claims that they

THE TOLLS,

Buffalo, Sept. 2-Charles Milton
Leighton, for whom a hall dozen
wives and several fiances have been
hunting for months was arrested
iu Buffalo today by Detective r. j.
Cromie.
Leighton is charged with making
matrimony a profession, and his
trail ali over the country is marked
by broken hearts and emptied
purses.
He was caught at 3 o'clock this
morning in his room at the Lack
awanna Hotel, where he is employed
40 manager OF the hotel barber
shop. Detective Cromie and his
men found him asleep in bed.
Leighton gave the name of Le-
land here. One Of his New York
victims went to the police station
and positively identified him, but
thr prisoner said he had never seen
her before. He will be tried in
New York.
Detective Cromie has been on his
trail for months, aud although un-
able to capture him, he kept the
talented barber from adding two
more wives to his list.
He traced Leighton to the West
and then back East as far as Yer
mont, where the timely arrival OF
the detective stopped his marriage
to a wealthy widow. At Danbury,
Conn, he arrived at a similar time.
Leighton had persuaded a widow
past 60 to become his bride.
She had also agreed to give 81, 600
Of her savings to him. He had Sc
cured 500 and two gold watches,
but when he heard the detective
was after him with warrant from
the wife who lives at No | Wes
lis street, New York city. he fled
the town.
In Georgia he married Nettie
Gilman, got $4,000 and deserted her.
Other wives at Newport and Nara
gansett Pier mourn for him after the
same fashion and for the same cause.
The wife who is making the prin-
cipal fight TO have him brought to
trial is the one who lives at No. l
West one Hundred and Eighteenth
Street, New York City
Her foster father, MIR. Zimmerman
is supplying the funds for the fight.
This wife says that the first time
be left her, he told her plainly that
he wanted her to live apart from him
so he could marry several old widows
who had money, saying:
"Arler | have colIaied a couple OF
thousands, III come back to you"

The Lgndlubbcr Ducks Of Sahara.


THE provcrbial fondness of ducks
for water would lead one to presup-
pose that Of all the world the most dcs-
tltutc Of ducks would be the Sahara
desert and that if a stray 'springtaip
happened to drift into that region he
would either vamoose or turn up his
toes with brlcfest delay. Well, not at
ALL" said IL Frcnchman who was for
merly Il resident Of Tunis.
"There are parts Of the desert where
ducks abound. flourish and multiply
with every evidence Of perfect salts
faction. The fowl is slightly different
from any Of the varieties We know in
his country, but It has the same fiat
lii, extensive breast and web feet,
hOwing that it was once Il water bird,
i.0ush now II scarcely finds enough to
rink and has become too provident to
waste any Of the precious fluid in ablu-
tons. Like the other good Mussulmans
Of the country, they take their prescrib-
ed bath in the sand, and their web feet
come in very handy as snowshocs to
walk upon the deep yielding dust. 1t
Is claimed by an eminent French orni-
thologist that the SaharAn ducks are
the remains of raco OF aquatic birds
which frequcnteh those seas when the
present desert was part Of the Allan.
