FIFTY-TWO WOMEN PERISH.
Fire in London Asylum Has Tragic
consequences.

London, Jan. 2S.-Fifty-two insane
patients were burned to death by fire
at the Colney Hatch asylum during the
day. The outbreak occurred in the
Jewish wing of the institution. Five
wooden buildings, including dormi-
tories and the doctors apartments,
were Quilted. All the efforts of the Of
ficials were directed to removing the
insane patients, but the latter became
wild with excitement and so panic
stricken that not only were they un-
able to help themselves, but greatly
impeded those trying to save them.
There were nearly 600 women in the
burned annex, and most of them were
safely transferred to the main build
ing, which was uninjured. Some, how
ever, managed to escape and are still
at large.

CONFIRMED IN CARACAS.
Blockade of Venezuelan Ports Will

the blockade. The Venezuelans them
selves, accustomed to native products,
are not undergoing hardships, except
because of the shortage of salt. The
supply of corn is sufficient to furnish
native bread for a year.

What He Wanted.

II is usual for young attorneys-mcn
who are Just beginning 10 practice law
to take small cases which the older
lawyers refuse on account OF lack oi
time and lack OF adequate remunera
tion. A young lawyer at the Baltimore
bar tells the story OF a client whom he
had successfully defended. and from
whom he received small fee and the
i,'an's everlasting admiration and graf
it:ide.
One day the lawyer was sitting at his
desk. pretending to be busy when his
client called and proceeded to state his
business. He intended to get married.
and he needed assistance from his
friend which was not at all OF legal
nature.
"fou sec, it is this way he explain
cd after his embarrassment had some
what worn of, I'm going to get mar
RED. Now, | am too poor to go to
her town to get married, so We are go-
ing to get married here i'll my house"
The lawyer was beginning to fancy
himself in the role OF best man, or, at
least, of an honored guest. He began
TO prepare his speech OF thanks, as his
client coptinued speaking.
There's no piano at Our house. and
We re too poor TO pay for the music. so
! thought il you'd Just come tip tomor-
NOR with your banjo and play the we'd
ding march in the hall as VIC walk in,
that il would help out wonderful. No
one need sec you--you can play under

The lawyer refused, but his face lost
none OF its judicial gravity as lie ex-
planned that he bad an important cn-
gagcment in court at that very hour.

Making Butter in Winter.

The advantages OF making butter in
winter and letting the COWS go dry, If
they must do so at all, in the heat of
the summer, say in July or August,
are that it costs less to keep the dry
cow in summer. She is flush with
milk when in the barn, and in the
spring, when she Is about three months
In calf, she comes to the green food
which keeps her well up to her full
capacity until summer comes. Thus
she gives more milk in the season.
The milch cows are often neglected,
or at least the milking hours made
more irregular during the summer, the
milking being done earlier in the morn
ing and later at night during the long
days, to give more time for the other
work. when the ten-hour-a-day RUE
does not prevail on the farm. The far
mer will be more willing 10 give his
cows good food and good care at the
barn in winter If they are giving flow
Of milk enough to pay for it, while IL
dry in two summer months, o: even
in August and September, they can
find food enough in the pasture, unless
there chances TO be a very severe
drought. The plague of flies would
cut down the supply Of milk in those
months II the COW came fresh in the
spring. The prices Of milk and butter
are higher in winter than in summer,
and are likely to be until the majority
have changed to winter dairying, which
Is not likely to happen very soon. The
calf dropped in early winter Is free
from the torment of the flies for the
first six months of It's life, and is old
enough to be turned to pasture when
the grass has started, and last, but not
least, the farmer has more time to
watch after the care of both COWS and
calves In winter than in summer. II
the barn Is warm and comfortable he
will have n chance to watch them. to
learn what they like best and thrive
best on. or what winter ration Is best
for milk production. Breed the COWS
in January that the calves may be
dropped in September, or IL a second
services is necessary. in February, and
the profits of dairying win be In
creased, whether milk Is sold or butter
made at home. The skimmilk is need
ed and at hand. both for the fall ltters
of pigs and the spring litters from the
time they are weaned from the SOW
until they can eat hearticr food.-ThC
