TO MAKE USE or PINE STRAW.

Washington Reporter The Lowry round
bale press will, it is thought. work revo-
lutions in the pine straw which falls from
the numerous pine trees throughout the
Southland. While the delegation of visit
ors were here last week test was made
in packing the straw. A bale was made
about the size of the regular round cot
ton bale, and weighed 225 pounds. The
straw will be brought in from the coun-
try. and il is though the company will pay
about S. per ton, delivered. If freight
rates can be procured to the North. il
may be possible that the straw will bring
A great deal more per ton than the amount
above designated. The straw will be used
for packing goods taking the place Of
excelsior, and for bedding in the stables
of the North. The straw has been tried
for this purpose, with favorable results
There is no telling to what extent this
industry may develop. The straw. which
has gone to waste for countless ages
and was considered hardly worth hauling
away, may become one of the great
money makers for farmers.

BLASTED BY LOVE.
Woman Dies In an Asylum, Leaving
 $3,oO0ooO.


 Boston Mass) Cor. Chicago Chronicle. When Mary Collins passed away at the Mclean Asylum For the Insane last night, at the age of P, death ended the sad story of a life blasted by faithless lover who deserted her on the eve of marriage.
 For 53 years Miss Collins was an in- mate oI Mclean Asylum She was once a wealthy belle of Halifax, N S., and fell desperately in love with a titled Englishman whose acquaintance she formed in Ottawa. He showered her with diamonds and costly gems-family heirlooms-and their engagement was the talk of society. On the eve of the wedding day he left her. even taking the gems he had hung about her neck. Reason deserted her when she received note from him telling why he had fled and how he had deceived her, and she was taken to Mclean Asylum, where she became a star boarder, paying s125 a week. She had a private suite nurse and a companion and was often taken out driving. Her principal hallu- cination was that she owned the asy- lum and that the other patients were her invited guests. She also had hob by for gems and relatives furnished her with quantities of paste diamonds, which she gave away.
 Miss Collins leaves & 000 900, which will be divided among a score or more of relatives in Halifax. .s.

terms" said the surgeon, "a more plen- tiful supply of blood than usual marks and causes inflammation Of the parts being repaired.
 "On the other hand, gangrene is tis- sue death, modification. Leaving out the theory that the bullets were pois- oned, which I do not believe, gangrene could not have set in unless the blood supply was deficient
 ''Why. my dear sir, there Is one form of gangrene known as senile gangrene, because it occurs in the aged and is due either to weakness of the heart or to interference in the circulation. Do not misunderstood. l do not say that MT. Mckinley suffered with senile gan grene; that would be absurd But 1 do say that under all the circumstances 1t is easily understandable that his heart could not furnish enough blood to re- pair the wounds, and gangrene resulted.
 Thanks to Lister and his antiseptic surgery" this surgeon concluded. leases of gangrene are rare in these days, but l saw an interesting case not so long ago, of which l will yet write the his tory. muscular negro, a farm hand, had both feet badly frozen. No doctor was called to hlm. The frost bite was neglected. When I saw him all his toes were gangrened. We amputated them, making good flaps of the healthy tissues above the gangrened parts and using every antisceptic precaution.
 "To our vast surprise ietanus followed and the negro died in the frightful spasms typical to lockjaw. When a spasm came on every muscle in his body contracted and the unfortunate man rested on the back of his head and his heels The contraction of the muscles of his back, which are always much the stronger, drew his body into the shape of a bow.
 q mention this case, not only be- cause was primarily one of gangrene, scarce nowadays, but to show how nu- merous and strong are the muscles of the back. Layer on layer, crossing, in- tertwining, they support and guard the spinal cord and the organs under them. It is very easy probe as you may, to close a bullet in the layers of these vast muscles, as was done in this last and most lamenta~4e case"
 Another surgeon of distinction said: Yes, since the universal use of antis- ceptic surgery cases of gangrene are few and far between.
