RECEIVERS BABY BY LAW.
Nurse Stole Infant, Saying 1t 1as
Dead

Dead.
Judge Z. G. Grave in Rock Island
county Ullinois) circuit court decided Il
habeas corpus case which had been be-
fore the court at intervals for several
months and which was brought by Mrs.
Charlotte Bleakley of Lawrence, Kan,
against Mrs. ]. @. Barclay of Moline,
ILL.,, to recover a girl baby born to her
while she was visiting the worlds fair
at St. Louis on February 10 last. The
nurse told her that the child was dead
and Mrs. Bleakley paid for its burial.
Mrs. Bleakley was then taken sick with
scarlet fever. Her brother was sent for
and the nurse told a physician whom he
summoned that Mrs. Bleakley's baby
was alive. The brother confronted the
nurse, but she denied telling the physi-
clan that the child was alive. In the
meantime the infant had been placed in
charge of the Incubator people. Mr.. and
Mrs. Barclay, who had the perfumery
concession OF the fair. saw the child and
sent an agent named Martin to secure
the consent of it's parents to their adop-
ton of the mite. Mrs. Bleakley positive
ly refused, if the infant i'll question was
her child. Proof was presented that the
child was really Mrs. Bleakley's infant,
and the courts order restores the child
to her. Mrs. Bleakley's husband, from
whom she separated subsequently to the
birth of the child. did not join in the
proceedings.

NEW PAINT.
Has Many Valuable Properties and May
Supersede White Lead

If one-half that is claimed for the new
German paint is true, the white lead
base of paints so universally used is
doomed. The new pigment is obtained
from burnt limestone which contains
considerable proportion, 20 per cent. or
more, of magnesia, the best combination
being that found naturally in dolomitic
limestone. Tih is mixed with a hydro
carbon and fired until all the carbon is
consumed. Among the desirable fea
lures claimed for the new paint are fine
ness and smoothness of surface, covering
power, permanence and cheapness; quick
drying qualities without addition of
driers, freedom from yellowing with age.
unaffected by ammonia, sulphureted hy-
drogen or sulphurous acid, and a natural
hardening or enameling after few
months. Greatest of all, it may be
washed without destroying its original
smoothness. Coloring pigments may be
used in conjunction with it, as in the
case of white d.-Philadelphia Rec

Calves in Groups.

1t is desirable to have calves come
in groups where a large number of
cattle are being kept and the calves
are to be raised for beeves 1t is only
in this way that uniformity in size,
weight and finish can be obtained for
the car loads of cattle that are to be
sent to market. If there are but few
cattle it is better to have Only Two

Garden Hints.

Sow winter beets and rutabaga tur-
nips.
Keep the weeds out Of the straw
berry patch.
Hoe the lima beans and train them
on the poles if necessary.
Layer the squash vines, covering the
joints with fresh earth to prevent the
borers killing them out.
For early ripening Of the tomatoes
keep the side branches trimmed off,
and to prevent rot support the plant
by tying to a stake or trellis.
Be on the Lookout for bugs on the
melon plants. Keep the ground well
stirred and sift tobacco dust on the
vines or cover them with mosquito net
ting.
1t is of no use to think that contin-
uous crops can be produced without
continuous effort. When one crop is
taken off the soil must be dug as deep
~ as in the first instance and fertilizer
used as for the first crop.

The boy took the ass and rode away,
but he had not accomplished half the
Journey before the ass fell sick and
died. Then the boy knew not what to
do nor where to turn. But when he
had considered the circumstances Of
his case brilliant idea flashed into his
mind.
Having dug pit and cast the ass
