ChIoroform for Plants.

Albert Maumene, in the Review Sci entifique, Paris, referring to experi- ments of M. Johannsen, of the Agricul- tural school of Copenhagen, gives 1t as his opinion that by the use of anes- thetics, such as ether and chloroform, early forcing in plant development by present methods will all be superseded, since the anesthetizing process makes possible the towering of these plants four or five months earlier than the or dinary methods of forcing.

fire with the rest of the family,

Fire.

1t is with feelings of much
sorry that the COURIER chronicles
the destruction, by fire, of the
country residence of VIM.
Clavin, Sr., two miles southeast
of Indian, Grove during the snow
storm between 8 and 8 o'clock
Friday morning.
Mr.. Clavin, who was sick in
bed, his three daughters, Mary,
Lizzie and Katie, and son, Collie,
were at home at the time, and
the first one to notice the fire
was Miss Katie, who called at
tention to the discoloring of the
flue in the dining-room.
Investigation followed, and it
was found that the house had
caught fire from a hue in an up
stairs room, and it was with
much difficulty that the stairway
was ascended and a tin box,
containing valuable papers be-
longing to Mr.. Clavin, procured
by Miss Lizzie, Miss Mary and
Collie first having made efforts
to get the box, but were driven
back down the stairway by the
suffocating smoke.
Attention was then turned to
extinguishing the fire, ard it was
thought at one time that it was
under control, but it broke out
afresh and the house, with all OF
its contents except two feather
beds, some bed clothing and a
set of chairs, was burned to the
ground.
Mr.. Clavin was carried out OF
the house on feather bed to
the barn, and from there was
subsequently hauled IN spring
wagon to the home of his son,
VIM. Clavin, Jr., about 1 1-2
miles distant, and with no serious
results Notwithstanding the very
disagreeable weather.
The house was built ,13 years
ago at cost of 81 400 and was
insured for $500 and the contents
for $500 in the Charlton County
Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance
Co. The loss on contents ex-
ceeds the amount of insurance
by S400, entailing total loss Or
Mr.. Clavin of ST, 200 over and
above his insurance.

DIFANI:-Geo. Difani, Sr.,
died of heart trouble at his home
in Brunswick, Monday, April
II, 1904, at 5 O'Clock p. m. De-
ceased was born in Baden,
Germany, Sep. 21, 1925, and
came to this country in 1850
where, after a years residence
in ST. Louis, he moved to Bruns-
wick and lived there until his
death. Mr.. Difani was married

Six hildren were born to them,

APPROPRIATENESS Mary E.,
daughter of Harrison and Del

Boone county, Mo-, Aug. II,
i840, and, with her parents,
moved to Keytesville in March,
1852, where Miss Mary was mar
ried to Louis M. Applegate Dec.
1, 1858. Of this union one
daughter, Anna Lou, was born
Oct. 1, 1854, and died Sep. Fl,
1866. Mrs. Applegate professed
religion and united with the NJ.
E. church, South, in the early
part of 1868 under the ministry
of Rev. W. E. Dockery, since
which she has exemplified the
life and character of a good
Christian woman. When she
married Mr.. Applegate his chill

of tender years, and she was
Called to perform the delicate
duties of stepmother to them.
The manner in which she &C.
quilted herself in this RESPONSE.
BILE relation affords true index
to her noble character. In
thousands of instances her love
and tenderness for the mother
less children under her charge
were shown. The attachment
between mother and children
was reciprocal. The children
loved her as dearly as they
would have loved their sainted
mother had she been spared to
them. They loved her in child
hood, they loved her in mature
life and will continue to cherish
her memory in years to come.
Mrs. Applegate was quiet. un-
ostentatious woman, in no sense
given to display, so much so
that her modesty was phenomi-
nal. For several years she had
been almost blind. This terrible
affliction kept her closely con-
fined at home, but she bore her
troubles with great fortitude and
was never known to murmur or
complain. She was great friend
of young people. Mr.. Apple
gates orphan nephews and
nieces during several years
spent much of their time
