Chicago, Feb. Ex-senator Beveridge OF
Indiana arrived in Chicago yesterday
evening from Washington, and this
afternoon, at the Auditorium, under the
auspices of the Union League club, de-
livered a great speech on the conserv-
atism Of American character.
His speech In part was as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The meaning of Washington In Ameri-
can history Is discipline. The mes
sage Of Washington's life to the
American people Is discipline. The need
of American character is the cultivation
Of discipline.
Washington did not give patriotism to
the American colonies. The people had
that as abundantly as he. He did not
give them courage. That quality was
and is in the American blood. He did
not even give them resource. There
were intellects more productive than his.
But Washington gave balance and di-
rection to elemental forces. He was
the genius of order He was poise per-
sonifod. He vas the spirit of discipline.
He was the Great Conservative. II was

INSANE WOMAN WOULD RATHER
KILL THE CHILD SHE LOVED

SHOT GIRL, THEN HERSELF

Insane With Terrible Result
Little One May Recover.
lBy Assoclated press.l

New York, Feb 22.-A peculiar tragedy
has occurred In the residence Of William
Simons, at cary1 a suburb OF Yonker5.
II resulted In the serious wounding of
Georgianna, the 5-year-old Simons girl
and the probably fatal woundlng at her
own hands Of Amelia Foscher, Hun
garian servant girl.
The cause OF the shooting, which was
done by the servant, Is supposed TO have
been an insane fondness for the child,
from whom she feared being separated
through dismissal.
The mother Of the child went shopping,
leaving the little girl in charge Of the
servant.
When she returned there was no re-
sponse to her ring and she had to effect
an entrance by breaking a window.
Gas Was Escaping.
She instantly detected a strong odor
OF gas and heard groans on the top floor.
where are located the servants rooms
and the childrens playing room.
Fastening upstairs. Mrs. Simons was
Mortified to see the servant stretched out
on the floor, with the little girl lying
by her side.
"A side bracket had been wrencned
from the wall and the room and hallway
were filled with gas. Mrs. Simons rushed
to the telephone and notified the police
Two small bullet wounds were found
on the child; 10Th were superficial, and
she soon recovered from the effects Of the
gas.
Three bullets had penetrated the
servants body, and she was removed
to hospital where ii was believed she
would not recover.
The Child's Story.
Georgianna said she and the servant
were in the childrens room, when Amelia
said she was going aown stairs to get
some gum.
She returned in a few minutes and inn
mediately fired two shots at the child
who had gone into the servants room
when she heard Amelia coming up stairs
Then she turned the weapon on herself
and firea three shots, falling on the nool
by the side of the child. The revolver
was cheap affair OF small cahper.

facturer OF New York.

FUTURE OF MEATS.

There is much specializing just now
as to what the immediate future of
the meat values will be. The over
stocked condition of the ranges is
pointed out by many as a menace to
good prices, but the fact that they
are overstocked may not mean just
what it used to. Relating to this, the
Breeders Gazette says: 'The con
tinued high prices for beef have
caused many writers to caution
against going too heavily into the
cattle business; despite the 'bullish-
ness of all the figures, government
and otherwise, at hand, many man
has deliberately missed favorable OPP
portunities to acquire cattle, for fear
that Just as the increase came on to
be sold, he might be caught in the
maelstrom of overproduction. What
mag happen TO the commercial affairs
of the country to affect the consump-
tive demand, no man can foretell, but
so far as the probable supply is con
cerned, there seems to be much truth
in the following statement, made by
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson at
Canton, o., not long ago: with re-
gard to meat producing animals, the
prices are high, and will continue
high, because the people west of the
Mississippi River, who Craze their
stock on the range country, have been
destroying the grasses so systematic
ally that they are not able in many
of the States now to maintain more
than 80 per cent of the meat produc-
ing animals found there few years
ago. The meats of the country in
the future must be produced ON the
farms of the country. H. Dakota

Colored Globes Are Passing

Those huge glass bulbs of red and
yellow and blue water, which are call
ed show bottles, are gradually ceasng
to be feature of the decorations of
druggists windows. In the past they
were as necessary to every drug store
as a red and white pole is to a barber
shop, but they have not, as the pole
has, well-defned history.
All that druggists know of them is
that they have always been used as
window ornaments. The brilliant
liquids that they contain are made
cheaply and plainly of chemicals and
water.
Thus, a solution of copper and am
monia makes blue; bichromate of pot
ash makes orange; aniline dyes have
of late been used in the chemicals
place, but the liquids fade in strong
sunlight, and have frequently to be re-
newed The liquids colored chemical
ly, ON the other hand, last wellnigh for
ever.
In the drug store at the southwest
corner of Broad and Spruce streets
there is a show bottdle of very clear
and delicate shade of green. This Is a
green so fine that many druggists have
asked for the recipe that makes it.
This, unfortunately, Is unknown.
A clerk in the shop twenty-five years
ago colored the water and filed the
bottle, and little later left for I'M
known parts. Preserved only by a
cork of cotton from the air, the liquid
has ever since remained as brilliant as
it was in 1877.
There are, indeed, many show bottles
in this city whose contents are from
twenty-five to fifty years old.-Phila-
delphia Record.

MATCHES WERE NOT USED.

Souvenirs of the Days When Smokers
Got Light from Live Goals.
When smoking first became fashion
able in England during the reign of
Queen Elizabeth it was customary for
those who used the weed to have In
his outfit a pair of tobacco tongs. Ii
he were a gallant of the court they
were made of silver; IL a substantial
merchant, of brass, but If working
man. of cheap iron ware. They were
a necessary implement to the smoker.
Matches were unknown. and the only
available fire in the daytime was the
blazing log upon the hearth. With the
poker small piece of glowing ember
was broken off, which with the tongs
was applied to the freshly charged pipe.
Hundreds of these tongs are to be
found In the collections Of antiquarians.
Most of them are CLUMSY objects, but
few are so graceful in outline and
artistic In workmanship that they
seem to be of French and Flemish
rather than English origin.
These tongs were revived on a
small scale some twenty years ago,
when they were employed for holding
cigarettes. The cigarette tongs were
from two to four inches in length, con-
nected at the upper end by a smart
spring. which kept the ends together
when in a position Of rest. When used
the smoker opened them and caught
the cigarette between the tips close up
to the mouth end. The contriyance en-
abled the user to burn the cigarette
down to the last Whit and protected
the fingers from the discoloring va
por that produces the brown stain upon
the fore and middle fingers. The new
tongs shown nowadays are somewhat
larger and are intended to hold cigars
as well as TO reach coal from the
fireplace TO a pipe. They are made of
iron, steel and gun metal, and many
of the latter are said to be manufacture
ed from warships. cannon and ether
trophies of the late war with Spain.

FOR BEGINNERS.

To those who breed the Gas poultry
fanciers say common hens, would
say select from the general flock
about twenty of the best hens. Give
them two good roomy yards, ten hens
in each yard, with one good, pure
bred healthy male to each pen, says
the National Stockman. Change male
birds every year. Many have the idea
that changing is to use Plymouth
Rock male one year, Leghorn the
next and some other breed the next.
A mistake, as they thus have a flock
not bred for any special purpose.
Breed for a certain purpose always.
While the experts and fanciers are
breeding for fancy points that are
called for by the poultry standard, it
will pay the farmer best to breed for
meat or eggs. There is always plenty
of demand for first-class poultry and
good, fresh eggs. Each one can best
judge by the demands of the market
in which he sells his produce which
of the two he had better supply. 1t
is not possible TO get flock of cross
bred fowls or pure-bred fowls that
will furnish both meat and eggs en-
tirely to perfection, any more than
we can raise beef to advantage by
keeping dairy cattle. However, many
of the egg producing breeds give us
fair market poultry, and some of the
large breeds give us fair number of
eggs But the hen bred for either one
of these specialties will pay best in
her own speei9l line.
If one decides to work for market
poultry, select the largest, healthiest
yellow skinned hens from the flock
and mate with Indian Game, Brahma
or Plymouth Rock males. If flock
of layers is preferred, select those you
know to be good layers, and mate
with a breed that has made name as
egg producers
II al iaihleis Moulu eidue up 1nelf
flocks in the above manner, it would
give them much better results than
the old way of selecting Matching eggs
from the general flock of fifty to one
hundred and fifty hens running at
large, and with from one to three
males, such as is the case on many
farms-and then complain the eggs
don't hatch we'll.

BONES AS A FERTILIZER.

1t is or should be known by all far
mers that bones contain important
quantities of fertilizing material
When fresh they contain nitrogen,
which mostly disappears by exposure,
leaving the phosphoric acid the i'm
portant fertilizing ingredient. But
the phosphoric acid is in combination
with lime and virtually insoluble.
The processes of the soil laboratory
will ultimately make the phosphoric
acid available, but not within any pc
Rod which can be reckoned on. If
the bone is ground, the time required
will, OF course, be shorter; but I'M
treated ground bone is hardly worth
buying as a fertilizer. But If bone is
ground and treated with sulphuric
acid, the lime will combine with the
acid, and new compound is formed
which is soluble, and the phosphoric
acid is thus made available for plant
use Phosphate rock, which is found
in several Eastern states, is treated
ia the same way. The soluble com
pound thus formed is known in com

Postoffice Is
Under Two Flags

The most curious postotiice In Amer
Plaine, a town half in Vermont and
half In the province of Quebec, Canada.
The old postoffiee was built about
seyenty-fve years ago exactly on the
line between the United States and
Canada, so that 1t stands In two coun-
tries and serves In the postal service
or two nations.
The cellar Of the building connects
the two countries and some years ago,
when the postoffice was a general store,
whisky was known to be sold in one
country and delivered In another with
out ever having gone out from under
the roof of the old structure.
This combination postoffice is now
being run by parent and child, the
father being postmaster for Canadian
Quebec, and the daughter postmistress
for Vermont
Standing In front of this strange post
office is large post. which marks
the boundary line, and 1t is said that
one time a man who wanted to get
a roadway to his premises moved this
post, and many thousands of dollars
and not little time were spent to es-
tablish the exact line again.
Until a short time ago very pecu-
liar postoffice was used In Argyllshire,
England. 1t was situated in the lonely
hills between Drimnin and Barr, three
miles from any habitatlon, and con-
sisted of simple slit in rock. closed
up by nicely-fitting stone.
When any letters arrived at Drlm-
min for the district of Barr they were
conveyed to the rock by the first shep-
herd or crofter going so far. Having
been dropped in and the slit closed,
they were left until shepherd or croft
ter from the other side happened to
come along, when they were taken up
and delivered at their destination. No
letter was ever known to be lost at
this primitive postoffice
At Burra, Shetland, an old tin can
lister made water-tlght with news
papers and pitch, was once picked up
on the shore. 1t contained ten letters,
with the correct cash for postage.
With these was also letter for the
finder, urgently requesting the post
ing Of the accompanying missiyes, as
they were important business commu-
nications. After the letters had been
carefully dried they were at once post
ed to their destination, which they
reached without further adventure.
