Edwin 8. r. Seguin, an insurance agent
in the When building, yesterday received
a telegram stating that his aunt, Maria
Seguin, of New York, had died in Svend-
borg, Sweden. Mr.. Seguin will go to New
York to attend the funeral when the body
arrives from Sweden. 1t is supposed that
she died while aboard her private yacht, i'm
which she had been cruising in European
waters.
Maria Seguin left an estate worth 81 ,OOO,-

estate. and while Mr. Seguin does not know
how his aunt may have disposed of her
property, he is certain that he is the only
surviving relative and will probably inherit
the whole fortune.

Cape or yoke-collars and all devices that
give a broad shoulder line are to be noted
on the latest waists and are singularly
graceful. The model shown is extended to
form a narrow plastron and is among the
best seen. The waist as illustrated, is of
striped French flannel stitched with corti-
celli silk and trimmed with small buttons
but the design is suited to all the materials
of the season and to both the odd waist
and the gown. The full, soft fronts are
peculiarly becoming and the cape-collar is

near the wearer's shoulders, when the
wearer arrives. 1t is a bit odd to see a
brown collar among the ready-to-wear
stocks, but the great popularity of the color
in autumn gowns and wraps demands its
use among the little dress accessories which
the shops feature.
A pretty white stock made of taffeta rib
bon shows the popular big bow, this time
ornamented with buttonholed perforations
which add an effective touch to the ends of
the tie.
A black silk stock has half long ties
caught together in the front and ornament
ed at the edge with tiny white tassels. A
pompon Of white maline tucked away be-
the collar gives the stock the chic which
black and white combinations are apt to
own.

MICE IN THE ORCHARD.
Unless the "Omen of Prevention" Is
ResOrted To They May Do
Considerable Damage.

Young orchard trees are almost as
likely to be injured by mice in some
parts of the country as by rabbits IN
other places. Sometimes when the
snow goes off in the spring, it is
found that many trees have had
their bark more or less gnawed off by
mice. The injury extends from three
to six inches above the ground and
may entirely encircle the trunk. If
the trees are small and have been
completely girdled, there is little
hope of saving them, especially if
wide strip of bark has been entirely
removed. With larger trees or small
er injuries, much can be done to re-
pair the damage. if the injured wood
is not allowed to become dry. The
wound should be Immediately Gov
cred with grating wax or a thick
coat of paint and covered by a mound
of earth heaped up around it. If the
wound is not too large, it will in time
be covered by new growth of bark.
High manuring and requent cultiva-
ton will hasten this process of re
pairing the injury.
In this case, as in all others, ian
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure" An orchard should never
be planted in sod, as the surrounding
grass and weeds greatly increase the
danger from mice. If mice are
known to be in the orchard. the
trunks may be covered for a distance
of 20 inches from the ground with
wire mosquito netting, or with thin
wooden Veneers, thus aifording pro-
lection against rabbits and other
pests also. If this has not been done.
the danger may be greatly lessened
by tramping the snow down hard
around the trees after each storm

To this end the improved method Of

disadvantage of liability to dispIace-

How Deafness Is Caused.

Deafness cannot be cured by local
applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored TO its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition.

PREVENTS PICKING OF LOCKS.

using a pencil form of key. With the
common lock there is slot in the
keyhole which CORES ponds with the
position of the tumbler in the mechan-
ism, and it is through this slot that
the false key can be inserted which
throws the bolt. The essential feature
of this invention is a recessed wing
which. being housed within the shank
of the key, requires no Slot for its
passage through the front plate of
the lock, but which can be brought
into action within the lock to provide
an additional wing or projection to
operate the tumblers. As there is only
a very short slot projecting from one
side of the circular opening in the
front plate of the lock. it is almost
impossible to insert anything through
the plate which shall have a wing long
enough to move the tumbers after il
has once reached the interior of the
lock. The only difference in cost of
this lock over any ordinary pattern
IS the slight additional expense for
the key. The invention has been pat
ented in England by 4, II. Wormald, of

L0CKJAW ANTITOXIN.
1t Has Not Proved Quite rs Effective
the Prompt Injection of
CarbOlic Acid.

Only partial success has attended the
use of an antitoXin for treating lock-
jaw. When there is reason to antici-
pate an attack, this serum can be used
advantageously as a preventive. But
its curative value, after the disease
manifests itself, is not uniform. Some
times it does good and sometimes it
seems to be without effect. On the
whole, while reluctant to abandon it
altogether, experts recognize the fact
that this particular antitoXin does not
work as well as could be desired.
Attention has accordingly been di-
rected by the medical press of late
to a system of dealing with tetanus
suggested by Prof. Baccelli, of Rome.
He resorts to injections of carbolic
acid, which is one of the most power
full antiseptic agents known. The
idea of introducing germicides into
the blood to fight various bacterial
es-tuberculosis, for instance
is an old one. Carbolic acid has been
a favorite resource in such experiments
also. However, its application to te-
tanus is comparatively new. Though
the scheme was proposed several years
ago, the profession has given the pref
ence to the serum treatment. Now, how
ever, the Baccelli method is coming to
the front again. Italian surgeons are
enthusiastic over its effects. Prof.
Babes, Bucharest, who may possibly be
less prejudiced than Baccelli's fellow
countrymen, recommends its use when
serum is not obtaina ble-N. y. Trib-

is not farming for his health particu-
