ton, the value of the services OF
of each gives general satisfaction.
In fact, neither man nor beast
without education ia neither
profitable or safe in or out of
harness.
What has education done for
the COW? 1t has kept her in
profitable milk yielding for 800
days in the year. The Jersey
COW is a marvel of education.
But for education she never could
have given 20, 80, 40, so or more
pounds OF milk per day, yielding
IL, J. or even S lbs. of butter
per day. and even keeping up
these generous profits for months
and years. The natural COW, or
female milk yielding animal.
gives only milk for a com para.
lively few days, till the young
could obtain food from the
pasture.
These facts are trite, but
they acccntuate truths of too
much value to be winged away
on every passing breath of
thoughtlessncss. But, honestly,
arc they Insignificant? More
than one-third of the cows of our
grand dairy do not pay a living
profit to the dairvmen. And not
more than , per cent. of the
dairy cows are pure brcds. How
profitable would be our dairies

SKELETON FOUND
IN STORE FLOOR
1t May Solve Mystery of Dis
appearance of a New
Jersey Man
THE POLICE WILL INVESTIGATE

Philadelphia, June 22.-The discOv-
cry OF portions of a human skeleton
under the flooring of the building 324
North Water street has raised hopes
of possibly solving the mystery of the
disappearance of Frank Hewes, Of
Bridgeport. n. j., eight years ago. The
family of the missing man is positive
that he met with foul play, and his
two brothers. Thomas and Alexander,
called at the coroners Office and asked
that an investigation be made At best
the clew is vague and indefinite, but
the members Of the Hewes family are
determined to sift the matter to the
bottom. The coroner, assisted by the
police, will make a thorough inquiry
into the matter.
1t was the custom of the missing man
to spend much time at the Water street
building, which was then occupied by
a produce firm. When the news reached
the brothers that a portion of a human
skeleton had been fo1nd in the build
ing they thought the discovery war
ranted an inquiry.
II appears that Frank Hewes left
Bridgeport on Monday night, July %,
1895, on the truck boat run by Captain
John F. Truitt He reached Phjladel-
phia about II p. NJ, and left the boat
That was the last seen of him. He had
gone up to make arrangements for
opening a commission house, and had
$50 or $40 on his person besides cost
ly gold watch None of his Philadel-
phia friends saw him. He said to Cap
tain Truitt that he would spend the
night at a commission house on Front
street. He had no financial troubles,
no domestic troubles, and never went
away from home when he could. avoid
it. Hewes was well-to-do farmer, 50
years old at the time of his disappear
ance. II was subsequently reported
that he had been seen in Washington,
but investigation proved the rumoT
false.
The Hewes family spared no trouble
nor money to solve the mystery. Weeks
of search in all the large cities of the
country brought no results. Hewes'
brothers came to this city from Bridge
port at the time and continued the
search, but they were bafiled at every
point and gave up their quest in des-
pair But throughout that stretch of
eight years the brothers have been con
fident that the missing man was muir
dered.
The first floor Of the Water street
building has been occupied for three
years by Frank Carmady, a fruit i'm
porter. A month ago one Of his men
was engaged in boarding over a break
in the cement flooring. The mans eye
caught a glimpse of something white
and a search resulted in finding two
ribs and a leg bone.

Popularity of MOhair

Mohair gowns for summer are now
TO be seen in every color and of many
different textures, so that It would
seem as though for every occasion a
mOhair gown We're suitable. First and
foremost for a travelling gown a mo-
hair is most desirable, as the material
sheds" the dust. does not easily get
tumbled, and in fact will stand a lot Of
hard wear without looking shabby,
and a good brushing off and sponging
makes it look like new. Black or blue
in dark shades are the smartest colors
to choose, and a coat is far better than
waist, for the material even in the
softest weaves is too harsh TO be easily
made to.ft we'll. But a long coat with
skirt to match and a waist of the same
color, but different material, makes a
smart costume.
White mohairs are in many respects
the most useful Of all white gowns, for
mohair does not easily soil, and can be
laundered or cleaned as well, if not
better, than pique. For the moment
the white duck and pique gowns are
thought smarter, but it would be eX-
tremely difficult to find a smarter OF
more effective white costume than one
of the new cut in long coat and short
skirt the only trimming being the
handsome pearl buttons on the long
coat

A perfect diet consists Of common
food materials blended to suit age, sex,
occupation and climate. They must be
in the proper proportion, taken in
proper quantities, otherwise they are
mere waste. and their presence in the
system simply acts as a clog. There
is more danger of sickness from over
eating than from undertaking.
Careful abstemiousness should be
observed by elderly people, as they
have less vigor, consequently need
less food. Disregard of this rule results
in gout, rheumatism, Brights disease
and kindred complaints. Too much
meat, excess of starchy foods and SUI
gar. with insufficient fruit and vege-
tables, will cause torpidity Of the liver.
Those who should know, say that
men as class eat too much meat, and
are, consequently, the prey of kidney
and liver troubles; women eat toe
much starch, sugar and butter, being
consequently, victims of corpulency.

'coffee and wine she never drinks, but
Ionly water and milk. Her diet is al

more nuts and fruits than anything

VINDICTIVE WOMAN
CAUSES A TRAGEDY
Young Lovers Commit Suicide
Because She Held Man to
Alleged Engagement

Scranton, Pa, June ga pair or
young lovers. Ernest Schmic and Miss
Jennie Brennan, both of Greenwood,
were the participants in a double
tragedy which has resulted in the
formers death and which will prob.
ably also prove fatal in the case of
the girl. The two had loved each
other devotedly for several months,
But another woman from Schmic's old
home intervened a week ago and
sought to hold him to an alleged en-
gagement with her. This led the pair
to seek relief in death, and they ap-
parently planned the affair with much
deliberation.
Miss Brennan purchased a bottle of
carbolic acid yesterday morning, and
shortly afterwards both started out
for a walk. They strayed to a Sc
cluded spot in the midst of a forest
and spent the entire afternoon sitting
side by side on a rock. They were
seen by several other ramblers in the
woods, ana this led to a search by the
girls cousin, Thomas Cavanaugh, and
several of his friends. When the
party came In sight of the pair Miss
Brennan put the bottle of acid to her
lips and drained it. AS she did so
Schmic started TO run. with several
of the party close on his heels. He
drew q revolver and fired upon them
three times and then, stopping, turned
the weapon to his heart and shot him
self twice. He fell dead instantly.
The girl suffered great agony. and her
physicians hold out scant hope for
recoYery.
