COMMUNICATED.

The people of Valley Lee and vi
entity are to be congratulated at the
neat improvement and evidences of
progress to those who from time to
time visit that charming burg. The
beautiful and extensive clover fields
give one most excellent idea of
what the farmers propose to do in
the near future. There is no sec
ton of our county that looks brighter
than that extending from Bacon S
wharf to Valley Lee and past the old
historic St. Georges Church, with
the massive oaks centuries old, and
tombs dating two and more centuries
in the past A quiet, sweet God S
Acre truly-a spot where rests
many who have borne the burden
and heat of the day. " As we passed
by few days since we were pleased
to know they were not forgotten, for
beautiful and substantial iron
fence has risen as by magic along
the entire roadway marking the old
parish church line. A neat bronze
plate informs the stranger OF the fact
that this is St. Georges Church, and
the fence is a memorial of the dead
of the parish from 1910 to 1902. We
learn that the Rev. M. Ii. Vaughan,
late Rector OF the parish, raised most
of the money to build the fence, the
present Rector, Vestry and other
committees cooperating in the work.
Let us hope for more improvements
everywhere. w

Whitewash in The House. -
There is more virtue in whitewash
for the poultry house than most PEG
pie are willing to credit. There arc
two ways to apply whitewash to a
poultry house, says Texas Farmer.
One is with brush and the other
with spray pump. These pumps
are obtainable almost anywhere now,
and are the best implements for put
ting on whitewash. The sides and
ceiling of the poultry house should
be given an application Of white
wash. The rooSts and nest boxes
should not be neglected. The white
wash should be of the consistency Of
thick cream, and it will be found a
good plan to put some kerosene in
each pailful. Mites can be killed
and lice will not not Survice where
a frequent and thorough application
of whitewash is given. One can put
on some old slip of a garment, an old
hat, and with spray pump can in
a few minutes have a good applica-
ton of whitewash that will make
everything sweet and clean, What
falls on the floor will make a good
floor itself when mixed with the
hard dirt or coal ashes, or of what
ever material the floor is made.
make free use of whitewash from
now on during the active season OF
lice and mites, and see how few OF
them will be found at the close OF
the season. The fight against vcr-
min must be persistent and continu-
Gus. One application will be good
as far as it goes, but it is inadequate.

To Cure Egg Eating. Almost
everyone has had trouble with hens
eating eggs, says the Tri-State Farm
err. Anyone who has suffered much
from it will be glad to learn any way
to prevent or cure it. A poultry
man Of experience says
"There is nothing more provoking
and improbable than flock of hens
which have acquired the habit of
eating eggs. This is habit more
easily prevented than cured. Give
the hens plenty Of exercise with a
variety Of food. Gather the eggs
frequently, provide sufficient rest
ing places and keep one or more
porcelain eggs upon the floor Of the
house. Dark nests are advisable,
and a meat diet is excellent. To
cure the habit provide dark nests
and add meat to the food. Remove
the end from several eggs ana pour
out the contents. Make mixture
Of flour, ground mustard and red
pepper, adding a little water to hold
the material together Fill the shells
and place upon the floor Of the hen
house. The hens will make a wild
scramble for these prepared eggs,
will gobble down some Of their con
tents, and will soon be gasping with
open beaks. Follow up this treat
ment until the hens refuse to touch
an egg. It seems, and perhaps IS,
somewhat severe, but no permanent
i'll effects will follow. The hens will
soon learn that eggs are not so pal
atable as they regard them, and will
desist from the bad habit. Positive
cures have followed this method. "

Dead Bodies Slide Out of Coal Chute
Aboard Ship.

New York, May 2.-When the British
freight steamship Sir Richard Grenvine,
from the West indies, arrived in port,
Capt. Jones reported the tragic death OF
two West Indian stOwaWays.
The vessel stopped at half a dozen
West Indian ports, among them being
St. Lucia, where she coaled. 1t is at
this port Capt. Jones believes the stow
aWays, who were negroes, managed to
get aboard the vessel by letting them
selves down to the coal bunkers through
the coal chutes. The men had evidently
miscalculated the time that the ship was
going to remain at St. Lucia and did
not know the vessel was to coal UP. Al
ter they had reached the coal bunkers
many tons of coal were taken on board,
and the two stowaways were literally
buried alive.
Nothing was known to the captain or
crew of the tragic death of the men an
til the morning of April IS. after the
sugar for New York. when one Of the
bodies slid through the coal chute into
the furnace room. At the time the sto
kers We're piling coal into the furnaces,
while the vessel was making a hard
fight against a northeasterly gale.
The sight of, the body sent a SILVER
through the stokers, and caused them to
temporarily quit work. Captain Jones
was notified of the discovery and after
dead, ordered the body buried in the
sea-
Six days later the stokers We're again
Mortified by another body which came
through the coal chute into the furnace
room.
A search was then made of the coal
bunkers, but no more bodies were found.

A Crazed Man at Wilkesbarre
Used Weapons ViciOusly.

New York, May after shooting man
twice, Peter Wanett held the police and a
posse at bay for nearly two hours. says a
Wilkesbarre. Pa, special to the Herald.
Wanett fired many shots at the crowd, but
finally was brought to earth by a boy
who knocked him senseless with a stone
Wanett was first noticed parading before
the Russian Catholic church twirling a re-
volver and making remarks about the
church. Sexton Russinit came out of the
church and Wanett began shooting at him
One bullet Went through Russinit's arm
and another struck his thigh Several per-
sons tried to OverpOWer the infuriated
man, but We're shaken off, and he ran
shooting at those who pursued.
When the police arrived he was on top
of a steep bluff and they could not reach
him without exposing themselves. They
called upon citizens for aid and the bluff
was surrounded. For more than an hour
police and citizens tried to reach Wanett
but each time they approached he fired.
Finally. Just as the police had secured RI
hes, Wanett dashed through the line,
shooting right and left, and got away He
was brought to bay a mile distant and an
other circle formed. This time the crowd
having no other weapons began throwing
stones, and finally a boy brought the man
down. Wanett was then taken to jail
