Duluth, Dec. 2s.-rn response TO inquir-
les as TO why his 1s-months-old baby was
allowed to sleep in the snow, J. H. Whit
ley, a lawyer. said today:
Little Corinne sleeps out OF doors every

basket out on the upper porch overlook
ing the lake.
Tuesday when the maid brought her in
she was covered with about three inches
OF snow. The basket in which she was
lying was completely covered with snow.
She had hot-water bag at her feet and
was we'll tucked in, and was perfectly
happy.
"She seldom has a cold. nd the strangest

when we became older we separated and
met only occasionally.
I'VE saw each other at least three or
four times O year. and last Sunday we
happened TO meet in Boston.
1--WE chatted for some time and told
each other OF the trials we had an
countered during the past six months.
Both OF us had met with poor success.
and we were both what you may term as
down and out. Neither OF us had any
thing that gave any promise and we were
downhearted.
'1n some manner. how ! do not know,
our talk drifted TO suicide, and one OF
us proposed. can't tell which one. that
we should commit suicide together. Both
OF us agreed. and then we made prepara-
tions 10 die"
AGREED ON MORPHINE.
Riley then told the coroner OF how they
left Boston and came 10 this city. They
went Immediately 10 the Grand Union
hotel. where they registered and were as
signed TO a room. Riley said that in
their room he and Weed discussed the
best methods OF ending their lives. and
II was finally decided TO take morphine.
They left the hotel late In the afternoon
together. he said. and went 20 n drug
store, where they purchased the poison.
1--WE were TO die that night" the man

IL of for a few hours. We had some
money and we decided 20 spend that be-
fore we died Then. too. we were very

visited several Of the theatres and also

The building of a new oleO factory

HOard'S Dairyman to remark, The
building of a new OleO factory is rath-
er strange commentary on the claim
of the oleo men that the business was
ruined unless tneV ara allowed 10

mean that the manufacturers will be
cOntented with the small profit that is
in it after the tax IS paid on the
colored variety, or do they intend to
commence a campaign of education in
favor of the uncOlCred product? 1t is
sure that there is a profit in sight
somewhere; the packers do not spend
100000 for philanthropy or to give
men work. 1t will pay dairymen 10
watch out little 1t is evident that
the packers intend to make another
fight in Congress to get the law re-
pealed. and as the Dairyman says, it
will pay the dairymen of the country
to watch them. There is so much
money to be made in the fraudulent
butter that the packers will spend q
great deal of money to kill the law

Making the Home Beautiful.

Now that the season is at hand when
the hardy shrubbery and ornamental

who loves his home and wishes to
make his children love it, to see if he
cannot enhance it's beauty by more
planting of ornamental trees and
shrubbery. Always keep in view real
landscape beauty, and do not merely
plant q grove of trees all over the
lawn, but be sure to keep an open
stretch Of lawn in front of the dwell
ing and frame it in with judicious
planting. Nothing adds more to q
home than a pretty stretch of we'll

why the farmers home should not
have beautiful lawn as well as the

NOtrOgCn.

Some years ago one of the popular
illustrated magazines published some
highly imaginative articles describing
how everything would burn up when
the farmers, through the cultivation
Of legumes, had drawn all the nitro
gen from the air. f. G. s., in HOard's
Dairyman. Says, Its going TO be many
years before what is known now will
diffuse through the mass of ignorance
that prevails, and consequently it will
be a long time before there viii be
less nitrogen in the air because it has
been stored up i'm the soil for mans
benefit, aghd longer still before we
shall have replaced the stores that nj
ture had accumulated through Ions
centuries" The fact is, that all the
speculations on this subject leave out
of view the fact that no matter how
much nitrogen we may capture from
the air we cannot keep it, for it is
ever returning thither, and the supply
in the air can never grow less. Every
chimney in the land is sending it back
to the air every neglected manure
pile is doing the same thing, and the
old rule in nature that everything must
be used over and over a~ain Will pre-
vent any diminution in the supply.
We may get nitrogen in various COM
binations. but ere long it becomes free
gas and returns to it's source for
someone to combine and use over
again. The combined forms that exist
in nature in the shape of nitrate OF
soda may be used up, and the nitro
gen that we get as a by-product in
the manufacture of gas from coal may
become totally inadequate for the pur-
pose Of making fertilizers, but so long
as the legumes are intelligentiy CultI-
waited and used in a proper rotation,
there will always be nitrogen enough
for great crops, and the supply in the
air will be kept good by it's feeting
nature. We may locate it in crops,
but the consumption of the crops
sends 1t back to the air, and the bac-
terra work over the offal of all sorts,
releasing it as nitrate to be washed
away if not used by plants. And If it
is washed into the sea we can get
back a large part of it in the refuse
from fish oil factories, so that the
everlasting round will be kept up and
there Will always be over every acre
of lanC seventy-fVe million pounds of
nitrogen for the wise farmer to draw
upon. 1t even might be a blessing in
disguise if combined nitrogen became
unavailable for the making of fcrtili-
zers, 81 that all would be compelled
to learn how to get it free of cost
