Charge of Poison Disproven.
Judge Scott, in his opinion, said:
.sThe first cause of action in this case
is the charge of poisoning on December
26, 1900, or some time prior thereto.
The evidence wholly fails to support
this issue, but shows the defendant
was trying to rescue the plaintiff from
state of intoxication and admins
tered no poison, but remedies which
she deemed beneficial to him. His in
ability to speak on this occasion did
not come from these remedies, but
came from his excessive use of intox-
icating liquors at the banquet board.
and was as humiliating to the defen1-
ant as to the plaintiff. .
Judge Scott also found that the
charge of unbecoming actions on the
part of the defendant toward the col
sonels guests was not proven: that
there was evidence that she had ever
threatened her husbands life
Tribute to the Wife.
She was an over-indulgent mother
and wife, who always took pride in his
success and always looked forward to
his home coming, and made great
preparations to receive him. said
Judge Scott She entertained his.
guests with cordiality. She did not use
profane language. The poisoning Of
his pet dogs was accidental. She
never spoke disrespectfully of him to
his friends or guests. She always ac-
companied him to the depot on his
departures and was there to receive
him on his return In her home she
has large statute of him in the hall;
in her bedroom she has his portrait
done by famous painter on her
stand, and her dishes were stamped
and etched with his portrait. Such in
brief is the character and conduct Of
Mrs. Cody extending over long.

By the Hour.

In these days the rich and the poor
both appreciate the services OF tbs
trained nurse, but until within a COM
TODD member of society has not had
the opportunity to enjoy one branch Of
her professional ministrations. Now,
however, the hourly nurse is becoming
an important member of society.
Among the poor, says the Boston Tran
script, the district nurse comes in by
the day or hour, as the case demands;
in the families of those in more COM
Portable circumstances, the ordinary
trained nurse is usually engaged by
the week, and she rarely cares to go
for shorter time.
The hourly nurse, who has had the
same training, holds herself ready to
answer calls at all times, for one, two,
three or twentyfour hours, as the case
may be. She assists doctors in minor
operations. goes each day to change
the dressings, and makes it easier for
the family to care for the patient dur
ing the rest Of the day.
Again, in these days OF apartment
houses, there are many homes where
it is inconyenient to have a nurse stay
at the house. Here the hourly nurse
is the right person in the right place.
She comes for the necessary time, plan
ming to meet the physician when he
makes his visit, thus enabling the pa
tient to have, at little expense, all
requisite care, If not the luxury of con-
slant attendance.
There are many aged people who are
too feeble to take care of themselves
They do not need a trained nurse nor
even an attendant all the time, but the
assistance that competent person can
give them for an hour or two daily
greatly adds to their comfort. New
avenues Of usefulness open for the
hourly nurse in all directions.

Leader.
Proved Beyond a Doubt.

Middlesex, N. Y, July 3.-(Special)
That Rheumatism can be cured has
been proved beyond a doubt by Mrs.
Betsey A. Clawson, well known here.
That Mrs. Clawson had Rheumatism
and had it bad, all her acquaintance
know. They also know she is now
cured. Dodd's Kidney Pills did it.
Mrs. Clawson tells the story of her cure
as follows:
Il was an invalid for most five years
caused by Infiammatory Rheumatism,
helpless two-thirdS of the time. The
hrSt year l could not do as much as
baby could do; then 1 rallied little bit
and then a relapse. Then year ago
the govt set in my hands and feet. L
suffered untold agony and in August,
l9o3, when my husband died, l could
not ride to the grave
only took two boxes Of Dodds
Kidney Pills and in two weeks / could
wait on myself and saw my own wood.
dug my own potatoes and gathered
my own garden last fall. Dodd's Kid
ney Pills cured me-
rheumatism is caused by uric acid
In the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put
the kidneys in shape to take all the
uric acid out Of the blood.

High Butter Average.

We notice In dairy exchange
statement to the effect that the aver
age production of butter per COW IN
Holland last year was 400 pounds. The
statement may be correct and it may
not. We cannot help feeling that it is
little too high to figure as an aver
age. The average production Of but
orally very far below good average.
Cows that will produce butter-fat to
make 400 pounds of butter per year
are very scarce in this country, and we
assume they are somewhat scarce in
every country.
There is no doubt that the butter
average will some day be brought up
to that point. 1t is standard worth
working for, and the nation that can
attain it will be rich. BY dropping out
the poor cows and getting better ones
constantly, the average will in time
be brought up to a point where dairy
ing will be profitable both for the In
dividual dairyman and for the nation.
AS the world advances in civiliza-
ton more products of the dairy COW
will be used. The demand for cream
Is greatly on the increase IN our West
ern cities and the dairymen that have
good cream trade find it far more
profitable to sell their butter fat IN
that way than in any other This Is
| an inducement 20 raise the standard
of production.
The man that gets down to the
point of finding out what the average
production of his dairy cows is takes
the first steps to increase that aver
age. He can mark this COW and tina.
COW for the slaughter as soon as her
milk yield reaches the point in its
decline where cost and receipts ara
approximately the same. There are
good cows being slaughtered annually
and these should be saved, and added
to our dairy herds.

To KIN Coddlins Moth.

William III. Volck, of the University
of California, recommends arsenate of
lead as a remedy for the coddling
moth instead of paris green, which Is
particularly unsuited for use on the
Pacific coast, because of the climate.
Prof. yolck has estimated that con-
scientious work with lead arsenate
may be expected to yield a control In
the neighborhood of % to 9S per cent.
The chemical will cost nearly twice as
much as paris green for the same or
chards, but even with this added ek-
pense, he declares that the spraying
will prove profitable investment.
There have been figured out nine nee
essary sprayings during the season,
including combinations of overshot,
understood and inside sprayings. The
cost of material and labor per tree
has been estimated at 35 cents as the
outside figure, and Prof. Volck says
that, even at this high price, it will
amount to not more than half the net
returns on box of sound apples.

Mu1ching Trees with Grass.

In some parts of the country or
chardists are following the practice of
leaving the orchard in sod and mulch
ing with the grass that grows on the
sod. That Is, if the sod be blue grass
the grass is allowed to grow to cer-
tain height, say to a foot, and is then
cut and allowed to lie under the trees
and rot or dry up, as the case may be-.
The idea Of the orchardist is to keep
all the fertility in the soil except what
the fruit takes out.
We fail to see the wisdom of follow
ing this course If the orchard is left
in sod and the grass moved why not
take the grass off and feed it to stock
and thus get the good of the carbon
that is in 1t. There are certain parts
Of plants that do not get back into the
soil at all. The grass is worth more to
feed than for manure. If the grass
were made into hay and the hay sold
the price realized would bring back to
the orchard a much greater bulk than
would the rotting of the grass.

orchards, and within mile timothy
hay was selling for $l2 ton. Barn
yard manure could be bought within
the same distance at a dollar load,
delivered. The yield Of timothy in the
orchard was at least ton to the acre.
The farmer had his help, which
worked the year round, and the max
Ing and marketing of the hay would
cost no more than If 1t were not mar
keted. In this case the farmer MOVED
his orchard, made the timothy into
hay. fed 1t to his cows and put the
manure back on his land. Another
year he did the same with the clover
that was growing on the same orchard
area. We are little doubtful about
the expediency of moving land
around the trees and letting the grass
rot.
In some cases, too, we have seen
trees SO far apart that the grass, In
stead of rottine, would dry up and Ga
| into the air in large part during the
hot days Of summer. If there is any
good reason for following the practice
Of mulching with grass, as it is called.
we would like to hear from some o.
our readers on the matter.

IN COLONIES TOWN
Things Happen.

From the home of the famous "Keyh-
mel Keeyartah Of Gainesville" away
down South, comes an enthusiastic let
ter about Postum.
II was in very delicate health, suf
fering from indigestion and q nervous
trouble so severe that 1 could hardly
sleep. The doctor ordered me to dis
continue the use of the old kind of cof-
fee, which was like poison to me, pro-
ducing such extreme disturbance that
could not control myself. But such
was my love for it that could not get
my own consent to give it up for some
time, and continued TO suffer, till my
father one day brought home a pack
age of Postum Food Coffee
Il had the new food drink carefully
prepared according to directions, and
gave it fair trial. 1t proved to have
rich flavor and made a healthy,
wholesome and delightful drink To
my taste the addition of cream great
" improves it.
"My health began to improve as
soon as the drug effect Of the old coffee
was removed and the Postum Coffee
had time TO make its influence felt.
My nervous troubles were speedily re-
lieyed and the sleep which the old cof-
fee drove from my pillow always
came to soothe and strengthen me
after l had drunk Postum-in very
short time began to sleep better than
used Postum Coffee for several years
and like it better and find it more
beneficial than when l first began. 1t
is an unspeakable joy to be relieved Of
the old distress and sickness." Name

At the Atnenaeum Club.

Englishmen almost invariably go
from a dining-room to smoking
room for coffee and a cigar. They do
not smoke where others are still din
ing, as we do. And, to note another
radical difference between English
and American clubs, they pay their
reckoning as they would at a restau-
rant, for they have no check system,
with it's monthly bills.
At the Athenaeum the cost of the
average meal is less than so cents,
the members dining more cheaply as
well as more comfortably here than
at restaurants or hotels.
There was a time when the feeling
of one member that mo gentleman
smoked" was in practice true of the
club in the use of the clubhouse.
There was at first no smoking-room;
later, partly at Thackeray's instiga-
ton, small apartment was put aside
at the top of the house. There are
now three smoking-rooms in the
house.
In the crypt, or billiard-room, Sir
Francis Palgrave used to come with
various doubtful verses for his
Golden Treasury and discuss them at
length with his friends, and here
Abraham Hayward and Anthony
Trollope and others played whist.
On the right of the hallway are the
morning-room, where Browning read
the weeklies of Saturday afternoon,
and the writing-room, from which
Dickens wrote his last letter to one
of his sons, who was not to receive it
until after his father was dead
Bookman.

DEMAND FOR ALLIGATOR SKINS.
Nearly 100000 saurian Hides Annual
Nv Tanned in the United States.


Occasionally attempts to utilize the
coriaceous epidermis of alligators in
leather manufacture have been made
for over one hundred years or more,
but not with much success, until 1856,
when this novel leather became
somewhat fashionable and consid-
cradle demand developed. The mar
ket, however, was not long continued,
and after few thousand hides mad
been shipped from the Gulf States,
the demand ended.
During the Civil War another raid
was made upon these saurians to sup
ply shoe material, and they were
again slaughtered in thousands, but
with the cessation of hostilities and
the restoration of free commerce IN
shoe material, the alligators were
again left to repose for period.
This rest, however, was only tenn
porary, for about 1869 tickle fashion
again called for the leather for manu-
featuring into fancy slippers, boots,
travelling bags, belts, cardcases,
music rolls. and so forth. An i'm
mense demand was soon created for
it, resulting in the slaughter of many
thousands of the animals every year,
giving employment to hundreds OF
men. The demand soon exhausted
the productive capacity of our coun-
try, and large numbers of skins were
imported from Mexico and Central
America. The consumption of this
leather at present is greater than
ever before, and, owing to the large
importations, the market price is
somewhat less than few years ago.
The output of the tanneries of the
United States approximates 100000
skins annually, worth about $4,000.
1t is a characteristic of all aquatic
leather-indeed. of all leathers-that
they are curiously checkered in OBJ
long divisions, known as scales" or
bosses" separated by intersecting
grooves, and varying in size and char
acter from the rough, horn-like scutes
on the back to the smooth, pliable
markings on other parts of the body,
giving the skin that peculiar effect
which makes it so popular for leather
purposes.
There are several distinct varieties
of alligator skins on the market, the
most important being the Floridian,
Louisianian and Mexican; each diff
fers from the others in certain well
defined characteristics, and owing to
these differences each variety has its
special uses.
Of the 100000 skins used each
year in the United States, probably
Sc per cent are furnished by Mexico
and Central America, % per cent by
Florida, 20 per cent by Louisiana and
the remaining per cent by the other
Gulf States. The South American
hides do not cone on the market in
the United States.
The quantity of alligators mas great
lily decreased in all the Southern
States, and it seems only question
of few years when it will be impos-
sible to obtain the hides at price
that will justify their general en-
ployment. Thousands of the animals
have been slaughtered merely fol
sport, no use whatever being made oil
them. 1t is estimated that the mum.
Der in Florida and Louisiana at pres
ent is less than 20 per cent of what
it was twenty years ago. This de-
crease is attributed largely to the
shooting of them in wanton sport
