Ashburn, near Leesburg, the country seat
and dairy farm OF Senator William NJ.

progress
At2 O. clock Senator Stewart provided
lunch for the buyers, consisting of coffee,
ham and beef sandwiches, and other
edibles, of which some fifty or more per-
sons made quite hearty meal. Al
most Immediately after the lunch and
lust as the auctioneer had resumed his
place at the block, dozen or more buyers
became violently i'll.
All the persons who ate beefsandwiches,
fully fifty in number, were seriously ill at
one time.
Examination proved that the illness Of the
fifly was due 10 ptOmaine poisoning from the
beef sandwiches. The beef had been Jur-
chased several days before the sale, and had
been on ice until yesterday, when 1t was
cooked and used.
Those who were most seriously affected
were James and W. A. Wrenn, of Wax Pool

PARROT AND BABY. There is dead
parrot at the home of Policeman Daniel
Jones, of the Third and De Lancey
streets station, Philadelphia. Also
there is a very live baby, and the police
man and his friends are firmly con-
WINGED that the appearance of this
Youngest member of the Jones family is
responsible for the birds demise. For
three days after the arrival OF Daniel
Webster Jones, IT,, the parrot stayed
awaked night and day in an effort to
initiate the baby's cry. The first day
the parrot was an easy winner, finishing
strong two lengths ahead of Daniel, Jr.,
at shutdown. When darkness fell the
parrot stuck his head under wing in
preparation for the regular nights rest
but Daniel, ir., would not have it thai
way. He kept right on yelling, anC
| the parrot perforce followed suit. A
dawn yesterday baby was. still in thu
running, but the parrot lay on the bot
tom of bis cage with life extinct. Tn
doctor said overexertion, caused by tn
birds efforts to keep pace with baby
had superinduced heart disease, will
consequent fatal effect.

THE RESULT OF DRINK. II am
thoroughly ashamed of myself" said
Rev. John Vrynwy Morgan, ID. D.,
author of several religious books aud who
claims to be Baptist clergyman, when
he was arraigned before Magistrate
Kochersperger in Philadelphia yesterday
morning charged with shoplilting. He
said The same thing two weeks ago when
arrested for intoxication, and again n
week ago when arraigned on similar
charge. To fondness for liquor alone he
attributed bis downfall. A man of bril-
liant mental attachments, an extensive
traveller, and at one time prosperous and
highly respected, Morgan presented a
ptiable appearance when placed in the
prisoners dock yesterday morning. -Four
LAWYERS had interviews with him, but
when he was called to face the charges
against him not one Of them came for
ward to represent him. The fact that
there was no possible defense to be offer
ed may have kept the lawyers of, or,
more probable, the pepniless condition Of
the prisoner might have been response
BILE for his lack of legal representation.
The only testimony offered was that Of
Mrs. Pearl Pancoast, an emplOye of
Wanamakel s. She said that on Thurs
day morning she saw the prisoner steal a
book and leave the store. 81 followed him
to the Witherspoon building, aud there
lost track of him. At IL o'clock he re-
turned to the store. | saw him take an
umbrella. | saw Mr. Morgan in the store
again at g p. m. and kept close watch on
him. Again | saw him steal an umbrella
and | followed him to a saloon on Chest
nut street. hurried back to the store
and told Detective MOylan of the thefts,
and he went to the saloon and made the
arrest"

at night, but don't let them down
from the top. Raise them from the
bottom. If you can't get it in any
other way, accidentally break one of
the panes, and when you build a
house for yourself bye-and-bye, see
that it is ventilated so as to take
the bald air from the floor, where the
little folks are likely to creep
around.
This is enough for one lesson. You
will see more things than you ever
dreamed of, if you will just keep
your eyes open. Remember that the
lowest forms of life grow in the dark
places; that the highest forms of life
always get plenty of sunlight. Re
member that the bad air is poison to
you, to cows, and to everything else,
and that bad air is always heavier
than good air. If you remember all
this, it will add years to your life
and comfort to your yearss-Dr.

A Chat With the Boys.

1t is a fine cool morning; let us go
out and take a walk. This is a beau
tiful grove your father has; let us
stand off and take a look at it. You
will notice how the small trees are
dying. All the lower limbs of the
larger trees and the more thickly
planted are falling off. Why is 1t?
Because they can't get light. You
will notice further that your mother
stands ferns in the shadiest places,
and that where there is the most
dense shade nothing but mushrooms
will grow.
These fine, large trees are the larg.
est simply because they get the most
light. All the higher organizations,
whether animal or vegetable, must
have light. Only the lower forms can
grow in dark places. When God
said, "Let there be light" He set
life going all the world around.
Notice that coal miner. How pale
ne looks. Why? He has plenty TO
eat. These men live well; often live
better than your father does or than
/ do. He has plenty of exercise,
takes a good deal more than I do,
and eats twice, possibly three, times
as much; yet there is no color in his
cheeks. Why? He works in the dark
all day and sleeps in the dark all
night. When you go to town you will
notice that the clerks in the stores
have the same lack of color. Why?
Simply because they don't get light.
1t takes light plus food and exercise
to make us healthy meu. These men
who live in the dark don't live out
half their days.
Speaking of low organizations, you
will notice that worms always live
in the dark inside the sheep and
hogs and cattle and babies. They
can live without any light, because
they are low forms of life. All the
higher forms require light and plenty
of it.
Now let US go around to the barn
yard. That litter of pigs is not
healthy because they are kept in the
dark part of the stable, for to be
healthy they must have sunlight and

in front of every brood SOW, put In
sash and let the sunshine in on the
little fellows and you viii e how
they will stretch out, not merely to
bask in it, but stretch out in growth.
There will be some life in them and
they will squeal vigorously instead
of the sickly whine which that litter
now has. The brood SOW will be bet
ter. She will give more milk and
take better care of the pigs, for this
sunlight not only gives life, but it
helps to digest food. Besides all
that, it kills bacteria, germs; is what
the doctors call an "antiseptic," a big
word, but it means "germ-killer."
Let's go into the COW stable and
see how things are there. These COWS
don't have light enough. Turn them
out an hour or two in the sunshine
and see how they will enjoy it; just
as you do when you get out on a
clear, bright, sunny day. What Is
more, these COWS don't have air
enough. Air is about as essential as
light.
I notice your father has a ventila-
tor in the stable. He thinks it lets
out the impure air, in which he is
mistaken, if he is your father. He
knows a whole lot, but he don't know
everything. The impure air is heavi-
er than the pure air, because it con-
tains what the wise men call car
bonic acid, that stuff which makes
you get up In the morning when your
windows are closed at night, with a
dull headache, and makes you yawn
and cape and feel as if you needed
to pull your ewes open when you
take the wash basin and go out to
the pump to wash your face. You
don't feel right till about 10 or II
o'clock in the morning. Well, these
cows feel just about that way. Be
sides all that, they get the fermenta-
tions from the manure. You want to

Don't forget it.

Put some boxes down or better still,

within four or fYe inches of the floor.
The heat from the COWS viii keep
the top of these pipes warmer than
the bottom, if they are iron, tin OF

the bad air off the floor. Then have
him take out that v~entilator and put
in another one, bent over so that
the air in going out would have to
go down hill, which it won't do, but
instead, the pure air will come in
from the outside and settle down
gradually in the stable, making a
constant change of air and good all
all the time. See that these COWS get
light from the windows, if possible,
and see that they get plenty of fresh
air, and your father will be surprised.
