BURNED TO DEATH.
Mrs. James A. LaVan, of Near
Tracy, the Victim of a
Terrible Accident.

Terrible Accident.
Mrs. James A. Lavan, one of the
Oldest citizens CT this county, met
with her death Wednesday of last
week at the home of her son, A. l..
Mccullough, near Tracy City un>
der peculiarly distressing circum-
stances
Mr.. Mccullough was at home
sick with mumps and hardly able
to be around. In the morning,
however, he had set fire to some
brush and leaves on some ground
he was preparing for planting. 1t
burned slowly at first. but the
wind rising after he returned to
tue house, Mrs Lavan went out to
see that the fire did not reach the
Widow Tate's fences adjoining.
Naturally anxious for his mothers
safety, MIR. Mccullough asked Mrs.
Henderson of Sequachee. who was
visiting there to go out and re-
quest his mother to be careful of
fire, which she did, returning with
this message from Mrs. Lavan, IL
am in no danger. If my old dress
catches | can tear it off" A short
time elapsed and as his mother did
not come in Mr.. Mccullough went
out and was Mortified to find his
mother lying dead and her cloths
ing partly consumed. He tried to
lift her body but was unable to do
so, and fell, and was himself seri-
ouslY burned.
Her remains were inferred at
Oak Grove cemetery Thursday
morning.
Thus went out the life of all es-
timable woman. Until a few years
ago she occupied her home on the
mountain two and halt miles
from Sequachee, and was known
as a woman notable for energy and
industry, who was quoted as a pat
tern because of her able manage
ment of her little farm, from
which by her careful management
she was always able to make liv
ing, doing and seeing to the bust
ness herself. She was kind, hos
pitable and charitable and highly
respected,
She was born in 1884 and was {
daughter Of Isaac Layne, Of Sequa
chee county. AT % years of agt
she married Allan Mccullough o
Estill Springs, Tenn. She had by
this marriage six children, fou

New York Commereial.


Ever since Investigations by some OF
the officials in our department of agri-
culture revealed that much of the inn
ported pate de foie gras is not composed
of diseased goose-livers at all, but chiefly
of pork, mutton or veal, with many other
ingredients of doubtful identity. there has
been a growing prejudice against the i'm
ported stuff, and numerous efforts by
Americans to produce a fitting substitute
have been made. Last spring truck
farmer near Washington was urged by
an acquaintance who is fond of pates
to make a trial of fattening geese for
their livers, and after learning some of
the rules of the art he started in.
He had most of the facilities for just
such a trial Accordingly ten mature
healthy geese were separated from the
flock, wing clipped and shut up in a
yard perhaps 40 feet square, with shelter,
in which they had access to pond per-
haps a dozen feet across. For a time
they were fed literally with corn and
chopped green things like cabbage leaves,
grass, and so forth This was a prelim-
mary process to the forcing one suose-
quently adopted.
Under these conditions they remained
lively and perfectly healthy. and throve
wonderfully, having outgrown their
brethren at large by third in the short
space of half summer. On September
1 their treatment was changed
The birds were separated and each
penned up by himself in a ridiculously
small space. The floor was of sand and
gravel. This goose corral was in quiet
spot, away from the daily movements of
farm life. The forcing process now began,
mainly along lines supposed to prevail in
the foreign trade Each goose had a
small feeding trough. Each one was wa
ter I'd once day. First and last several
different kinds of food were tried in this
experiment, but eventually finely ground
corn meal, wet with milk when there
was sufficient, otherwise with warm wa
ter, was adopted as the cheapest and most
effective. Cooked meal was not tried.
They grew enormously under this treat
ment but toward the end very dull and
Iethargic, so much so that occasionally
one would lose his balance and roll over
on his back and be wholly incapable of
recovering his feet without assistance.
Of course these nOVices in the business
knew not when the livers were ripe, but
the farmer did know when the food ceas-
ed TO have effect upon any fattening ami
NAL. About November 20 his watchful
eve detected that the geese had ceased
to gain. and he therefore concluded that
killing time had arrived.
Then his acquaintance was consulted
again. 1t was no part of their project to
go into the open market with their new
commodity. The farmer was brought into
conference with one Of Washington's
great hotel keepers
Upon being informed of the experiment
in progress, without making any promises
To the livers, ne bade the farmer go home
and on the day before Thanksgiving kill

to the track between the rails, instead OF
turning aside to the safety which a bound
or two would have afforded In the bush.
The engineer in reporting the occur
renee said that three times last summer
he was obliged to stop his motor car In
order to get deer to leave the line. This
report and the fact that engine drivers
say they they have several times run down
moose and deer racing before them led an
enthusiastic sportsman to do a little in
vestigating on HIS own account From
personal experience and much Information
received, very ingenious explanation OF
this curious habit has been adduced.
1t is fact known TO some children that
If chickens bill is held to the floor to a
chalk line drawn before 1t. the bird be-
comes fascinated and apparently unable
to withdraw itself from IT, So IL appears
that when fear is driving from behind two
straight lines OF track on the right and
left have a fascinating or hypnotic effect
upon deer, and that as long as they are
kept moving swiftly they are unable to
turn 20 either side.
The driver OF a fast freight train in the
Gatineau Valley drove a pair of deer
twenty-four miles before him in a little
more than an hour lately. At the end Of
their run one Of the deer collapsed and
fell. The other stood stupidity staring at
the big engine as It stopped, but when the
men descended 1t jumped away and es-
capped.
The deadly fascination OF the steel rails
was well exempli6ed on the Kazubazua
plains in the same region this week, when
a grand pair OF Scotch stag hounds were
seen passing through the open country
from the north driving a deer before them
along the track Of the railway
Probably at night IL is the glare of the
powerful headlight that attracts. confuses
and then hypnotizes the deer into helpless
stiffness. Old engineers are wen aware Of
the hypnotizing effect OF the headlight of
an engine upon the deer family and will
when possible, stop and drive the crea-
lures aside.
In the course Of conversation some Of
these men yesterday recited many in
stances of running into deer which, when
once their eyes had become fixed upon it,
stood as though paralyzed in the fierce
light OF the locomotive. One OF them
spoke OF having on two occasions actually
pushed deer from before LIS freight train,
the bewildered creatures having apparent.
ly lost all power of movement.
