WOUNDED IN THE FOOT.
Colored Man Hit by Pistol Shot From
Fort Myer.

Irwin Lee, colored. one Of the employees
at the Arlington national cemetery, was
shot in the foot yesterday by a ricochet
shot from the pistol range of the troopers

hurt, although the ball plowed through the
flesh just below the ankle and was found
in the leg of his trousers. The pistol range
at Fort Myer has been established near the
cemetery, but not close enough to do any
damage. Under ordinary circumstances
the balls from the pistols could not reach
persons in the cemetery. Lee was work.
ing near a grave, which had just been
opened. prepared for funeral that was
held later In the day. The troopers from
the I'd Cavalry were blazing away at the
targets, when one of the shots struck a
stone or some other hard substance and
was DETECTED from its course toward the
cemetery. The bullet sped toward the
ground about six inches from where Lee
was standing. Again 1t struck a stone,
however, and was DETECTED toward the col
ored mans foot. 1t struck just below the
ankle and pass through the foot. The
man fell and yelled for assistance. He

Treating Seed Corn.

Seed corn is not as good as usual this
year and Prof. L. B. Waldron of the state
agricultural college advises that farmers
be very careful to test their seed before
planting, and he also advises that the
seed be treated as per following direc-
ton: when treating seed corn mix one
pound of standard 40 per cen formalde-
hyde with 40 or IS gallons of water and
treat the seed in the same manner
as is recommended for the treatment of
wheat smut. The formalin solution may
be applied to the. seed by means of a
spray or sprinkler and the corn should
be shoveled till all of the seeds become
thoroughly moistened. 1t is then ready
for planting"

ALASKA'S NEW MINES.

The recent report of expert miners in
Alaska confirm the former reports of the
discovery Of a new silver mine in the
Valdes district, also of finding of several
mountains of tin I5omiles distant, making
this season of discoveries the greatest
Alaska has ever known. Among family
remedies the greatest discovery was made
about fifty years ago when Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters was first introduced. 1t
is a specific remedy for such ailments, as
loss Of appetite, dizziness, belching indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, constipated bowels,
or biliousness often effecting a cure when
other remedies have failed. If you are
weak and sickly try a bottle of the Bitters.
1t will restore you to robust health by
strengthening the entire system. The
genuine is tor sale by all druggists.

The Introduction OF Forks.

Forks are articles Of such common
household necessity to us that we hard
~ realize that there was a time, and
not SO long ago either, when forks were
entirely unknown. A knife was used
at the table to cut up food, but the
food so cut was afterward conveyed by
the fingers to the mouth. Rich and poor
alike were accustomed to this method
and so thought it perfectly correct.
It was about the year 1900 and in the
reign Of James I. when forks were first
introduced into England. This "piece
of refinement" we are told, was de-
rived from the Italians.
