A POGO de descubierto ell hecho,
anunciose que Blair estaba a la
muerte y su mujer POGO menos,
de puro apesadumb brados. Dijose
iuego que Blair habia tratado de
suicidarse con veneno, y el con-
feso que, efectivamente, 20 ha-
bia intentado dos veces. Como

Lo mas interesante y extraor-

es la razon que Blair alega para
la comision de Sis delitos. Dice
que fue el ardentisimo amor
que siente por su esposa 10 que
lie obligo a delinquir; primero a
sdesfalcar para satisfacer todos
sus caprichos y tenerla como
una reina, y luego a suicidarse
para dejarla en- la opulencia.

In Mexico the young men Of fashion
10 not get up amateur circuses Oh
private theatricals. but amateur bull
fights. All the high life" of the
Mexican capital went out the other
day TO the bull ring to see young
men Of the "swagger" set take part
in one Of these entertainments. The
bulls were full of fight, and the
rohng men Of Mexico's four hundred
acquitted themselves in manner
which won the enthusiastic applause
of the aristocratic spectators. When
the second bull was about to be dis
patched after having been sufficiently
baited. the report says. Luis Illanes,
on taking the sword, offered the bull
to Gov. Corral. After making several
passes. he was rolled over by the
bull; he renewed the attack and de-
livered an 'estocada baja contraria,'
which laid his enemy in the dust. The
public, in recognition Of his prowess.
demanded that the ears of the bull
he given him, this being the browning
act of commentator for an 'cspada's
achievement"
After the account OF the bull fight
follows n list of distinguished and
fashionable people present, just as
we publish a list of the people at the
first night of an opera at the Metro
politan.-St. Louis Republic.

4 have seen this germ so far advanced
that a can Of milk would have almost

boiling water are the effective agents
for its destruction. Small tools such
as are used in the case at hand can be
put into some large tank or stove boil

simple principles that underlie pure
milk. They do not fail. Cases are rare
that cows give bad milk If fed the usu-

down TO 20 degrees. The germs that

milk should be taken away from the
stable and cooled 10 60 degrees or I'M

temperature retards their growth,
and their effect is not noticed. Always
use steam or boiling water in daily
cleansing. In case of severe trouble
boil the tools, etc. for several minutes

side, and Germ;.ly, Great Britain and
italy on the other. will ask The Hague
tribunal TO adjudge the dispute. The
interchange of views on these and
other requirements probably will take
place at Washington, where the am
bassadors can confer freely with Sec

regrets the long delay which is likely

OF the controversy. lie had relied on
President Rooseyelt's personality to
take up the case and reach decision
quickly. Baron Won Richthofen recog-
nizes the declination is in strict ac
cord with his message OF December
2. in which. referring to The Hague
tribunal, he said: 1T is far better,
where possible. to invoke such per-
manent tribunal than to create special
arbitrators for given purpose"
When Baron Won Richthofen re.

he had in his desk the summary of the
note transmitted FROM Washington by

said that the negotiations are in such

jndicious and indiscrect to make each

Ordinarily il is best TO cultivate or
chards with gang plows, with har-
rows or with weeders. Some of the
harrows are particularly arranged for
working around trees. and will pass
much closer 10 the trees than the
horses go. This culrivates the land
TO near the trunks of the trees. while
the heads of the horses and their har-
nesses do not injure the limbs of the
trees. a smoothing harrow does good
work. The use of weede.s is urged.

Hugh Spender. of the Westminster
Gazette, one of the British Journal
lists who visited Canada this summer
(1902). says: I'VE fell in with a
young farmer from Somersetshire.
England. driving binder round
hundred acre field of wheat in West
ern Canada. In conversation / found
that he came from within fifteen
miles Of my old home in Somerset
shire. Here was the very man we
wanted. lie had come TO Manitoba
ten years ago, with capital of S12
on landing. In England he had been
employed on a dairy farm. and earned
eighteen shillings week. He now
owns 800 acres Of land. his horses,
Buildings and cattle. and expects to
have 1000 bushels of wheat this sea
son. We had heard of such things
in the old land. but they did not seem
credible, until we came to this liv-
ing example ofNthe strides that il is
possible TO make in Manitoba. Had
this man remained in England. il is
pretty safe to say he would still be
earning no more than eighteen
shillings a week, while in the same
period in Manitoba he has become
substantial and prosperous sfarmer."
