stance the ceremony had practically
commenced before Miss Starr learned
that the woman was divorced. She
Immediately caused the proceedings to
be postponed until she learned that
the divorce had been obtained on the
ground of desertion, and that the wife
had been unable to secure trace Of the
husband who had wronged her. Con-
sidering that this constituted scriptural
grounds Miss Starr proceeded with
the ceremony. She believes divorce
to be a growing evil which can be
combated by clergymen refusing to
marry divorced persons.

Orange Boxes for Nests.

In nearly every town orange boxes
may be bought at moderate prices
They make the very best nest boxes

Nurse Crops.

A great deal has been said against
nurse crops, but in some parts of the
Western States nurse crops are quite
necessary for the sowing Of clover
Where clover is sown with spring
wheat the stubble Of the wheat when
cut helps to hold the snow over the
plants during winter and keeps them
from freezing out. 1t is the experience
Of farmers in a good many places that
nurse crops protect the clover during
summer, especially in regions where
the heat Is intense.

RUSH INTO DEATH VALLEY.

The Hunt for Pots of Gold at the Foot
of the Rainbow.
The moral of the old Persian prov
dom is what men hold most DEAR" is
called to mind by the story which
comes from San Francisco of the daily
sacrifice of human lives in the mad
search for gold in the Death valley.
Past Funeral mountains, which stand
warder at the gate, men are struggling,
lured by the lust of lucre.
Men have strayed into Death valley
many a time before, says the Des
Moines Register, but it was when they
were crazed with thirst and knew that
no torment Of the unknown could sur
pass the agony Of the known. From
end to end Death valley is strewn with
bleaching, sun-dried and vulture-
picked skeletons. 1t is the most bar
rem and forsaken place in North Amer
| lea.
| Death turks on every hand, but men
are giving up comfortable homes by
the hundreds, with chances a million to
| one against them, and storming Flu
neral mountains in hope to struggle
into Death valley to despair because
| gold has been found a little further
on. The tortures awaiting them have
been heralded widely, but cannot daunt
the adventurous spirit of the argo-
nauts.
AL Through Death valley as well
as along the fringe of both the Mojave
and the Colorado desert, the atmos-
phere is so devoid of moisture that ev-
erything is as dry as bone. The
new arrival finds that all superfluous
fat and flesh appear to melt away from
him. He has to take up several holes
in his belt and he has to drink gal
Ions of water every day where he or
dinarily drank several glasses.
In fact, the system Graves SO much
water that when it cannot be procured
the mans strength fails rapidly, an6
to be without il, even in the shade
is sure death after a day or two. To
run out of water on the trail and to bt
forced to travel over the desert il
the fierce glare of the sun means in
sanity in a. few minutes and death il
a few hours.
Not even the seasoned resident cal
course of the old resident who lose
his water supply in any way is to seel
shelter under mesquite bush and t,
wait until the sun goes down. Thel
he must hit the trail and reach a wei
before sunrise, or unless he has Won
; derful vitality his skeleton will be add
ed to the large collection that lines al
the roads through Death valley.
The old Persian proverb has beel
proved over and over again, but neve
! more conclusively than in this case
The hunt for gold has always been tn
E hunt for death. The Western plains
: over which the argonauts of 1S4
struggled toward California and GOLD
the silent places along the Chilkoo
: pass, the great steppes of Siberia, tn
great wastes of South Africa, whel
!, ever gold has been found, men hav
!. offered in bounteous measure tina
g which they hold most dear and ye
9 that which is cheapest in kingdom G
republic.
Men by the thousands have lei
!. riches at home to tempt fate and tha
l will-o'-the-wisp gold, and have adde
t their bones to the funeral pyres ths
mark every such struggle. The Deaf
e valley rush is only another in the Ion
list since men sought to find the poi

1t Is highly desirable to have calves
come in groups where 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 carloads OF cattle that are to be
sent to market. If there are but few
cattle it is better to have only two
groups of calves, one in the spring and
one in the fall. 1t will be easier to
care for them If they are in groups of
about the same size than if they come
at all months in the year.

Getting Good Breeds.

If you wish to start in poultry rails
ing or to begin with new variety, and
wish to invest as much as the cost Of
a good breeding pen made by relia-
BILE and skillful poultry raiser, that is
the best way to begin. Otherwise pur-
chase eggs, as many settings as you
wish to invest in, and each from a
different breed, but always from re
liable one. From each Of these set
tings you should raise both roosters
and pullets. Mark them all carefully
and plainly, SO that you cannot mis-
take them, and next spring you will be
in a position to mate up two or three
breeding pens of your own.

Summer Care of Bees.
No matter how abundantly you have
provided for your bees in clover and
buckwheat fields, II at this time Of the
year the weather is unfavorable and
the bees cannot go out honey gather
ing you must provide them with full
combs for fear Of their starving.
The colonies need more supply than
will keep them alive, they should have
twenty or thirty pounds Of honey at
| hand all the time. If the nights are
cool the secretions of nectar will be
correspondingly small and the bees
will get but small loads.
| When honey is scarce in the hives
the bees stint themselves and brood
rearing is checked just when it should
De at Its best and healthiest condition.
If you have any doubt as to the hives
being sufficiently rationed you can
solve your doubt by lifting each hive
and its weight will determine its con-
dit1on. If you find many that are too
light weight, use your smoker, take
out one or two empty combs and re-
place them with full ones, breaking
small holes in them so that the bees
may get at the honey readily. Then
you can leave the bees in peace until
they are able to hustle for themselves
unless 1t should be too long a wait
when you will have to repeat the proc.
ess. If you have no honey feed sugar
syrup. Be careful to retain all the
heat in the hives.

Doesn't Pay to CoddIe Alfalfa.

If an alfalfa field is In bad condi-
ton it is usually best to plow up and
re-seed. It scarcely ever pays, at least
where irrigation is practiced, to coddle
a poor stand Of alfalfa. Many grow
ers recommend d1sking every spring,
even when the stand Is good, and some
have even found it paying practice
to disk after each cutting. Such disk
ing will often prevent the encroach.
ment of weeds. In the Eastern States
alfalfa fields sometimes suffer check
In their growth, tend to turn yellow
and otherwise show sickly condition

What We Eat.


An important constituent Of our food
is nitrogen, an invisible gas; foods
containing protein are called nitrogen
GUS. Carbohydrates build fat and
produce heat and energy; protein does
all that and builds the. red meat or
muscle in addition. We get oil in the
butter used on bread. From these
three great food groups we make our
feeding stuffs. We get carbohydrates
from potatoes, sugar beets, corn. Corn
alone lacks nitrogen and will not
make sufficient muscle. Wheat, bar
ley and rye are all rich starches, good
to fatten, but not the best for muscle
making. We get protein in fax, ir
the outside Of the wheat grain, In clio
yer and alfalfa, in bran, middlings an6
oil meal. These foods are rich in pro
tein. Wheat bran, linseed oil, cottor
seed meal and any legume.

Governor Roberts Refuses to Sign Bill Increasing
 Judges Salaries.

Hartford, July 11.-Governor Rob- erts exercised his veto power for the second time during this session of the general assembly by returning to the house unsigned, this morning, the bill increasing the salaries of the supreme and superior court judges. The gov ernor expressed the opinion that 1t would be a violation of the constitu- ton to enact law increasing the sal aries of judges during their term in office. On motion of Representative Kenealy the house reconsidered its for mer action and tabled the bill.
 In the house this morning the bill requiring railway companies operating more than one line in town to give transfers, was rejected on an adverse report of the railroad committee.
 The senate this morning voted to ad- here to its former action in passing the bill restoring the office of fire marshal in the state. This action kills the bill, as it was rejected by the house.
 The telephone bill, rejected by the house last week, came up before the senate and was tabled to take the usual course.

TAP SHELLS REACHED
 VITALS OF THE BORODINO
An Eye Witness of the Great Naval Battle Tells His -Rojestvensky Never Dreamed of Defeat Many of the Russian Shells Went Skyward or Into the Sea-While the Jap Gunners Reached the Mark.

San Francisco, July 11.-Dr M. Paris, who was surgeon of the Russian hospital ship Orel, attached to the fleet under command of Admiral Rojestven- sky during the naval battle of the sea of Japan, has arrived here on his way to France. He is a Frenchman and, with many other surgeons of that na- tionality, joined the Orel at Toulon as a delegate from the French Red Cross society.
 As an eye witness of the battle Dr Paris saw the battleship Borodino and many others of the Russian fleet sink. He was within mile of the BOrod1no when she began to careen and fill. At this time," he said in the course of an interview, "her guns were firing and l could see that many of the great shells she fired were going skyward or into the sea beside her. But every Japan csc shell it seemed went straight into the vitals of the Borodino. Then came a heavy listing of the big battleship and then the tremendous plunge, as she went down by the head with hun dreds of men aboard
 Dr Paris says that Admiral Rojest- vensky and his officers never seemed to fear defeat at the hands of the Japan csc, though the ships were very foul after the long cruise in tropical waters.

SHOCK IS FATAL.
Man Thrown From Ladder to Street After Touch.
 ing a Live Wire.

A serious accident occurred on North Main street this forenoon. Contractor James O'Brien had a number of men erecting a derrick on the premises of the Waterbury Manufacturing Co and one of them, Tony Mungee, was trying to cast a wire cable over the trolley wire on North Main street. It was in tended to attach this cable to tree on the side of the street and connect the other end with the derrick. To facili- tate the work ladder was put up against the trolley wire, and a second ladder was put against this one to take the weight off the wire. Mungee then went up the first ladder, the end of the wire cable in his left hand. Cen tractor O'Brien said Mungee was told not to put his hand on the trolley wire on any account. but that it was hardly necessary to tell him this as he had been on similar jobs often before. At all events. 1t seems that the first thing Mungee did on reaching the top of the ladder was to touch the trolley wire. Four men were holding the ladders, and it is said that the shriek Mungee gave when his hand touched the wire was heard above the din of the ma chinery in the factory nearby. Before the men had time to look up Mungee was shot with great force off the lad der and landed on his head in the mid dle of the trolley track. The sight the unfortunate man presented Contractor | O'Brien said he will never forget. The
 face presented all the horrible appear ance of a person electrocuted. As soon as possible medical attendance was al hand and the man conveyed to the hospital.
 Contractor O'Brien cannot account ! for the mans evident carelessness. for he has been sixteeen years in the coun. try engaged in building work and had fair knowledge of the danger in electric wires of all kinds. He is about 4O years of age and has wife and one child in Italy.
 The man was taken to the hosiptal after the accident. but his system could not stand the shock and he died about noon

BULLS IN THE HOUSE
Five of Them Scare an Aged Couple
 in Hartford.

Hartford. July 1.-The heart-ex-
 hausted bulls that Louis Tuck of No S1 Pleasant street and his employees drove into this city from Middletown
 Oh Sunday had adventures all over the
 day. One of them lay on the Wethersfield avenue sidewalk all the
 afternoon and evening. The other five continued on but at the corner of Tal- colt and Market streets, attracted by the sound of running water inside
 Amanzo Vining's house there, they
 walked into the kitchen.
 Mir and Mrs Vining are an aged couple who live on the first floor of Il little house and use the front room for candy store, for the delectatlon of boys and girls from the Brown school. The other rooms they use to live in. A
 hallway about three feet wide runs through the house to the kitchen.
 Mir Vining was lying down and Mrs yining was sitting sewing Sunday af- ternoon when they heard heavy step in the hallway. At the same time the front door, which they had left partly
 open was heard to bang back against the wall. They thought that some of the children in the neighborhood were
 playing in the hall. In a minute, how
 ever, great big red nose pushed through the door. Mir Vining did not know what it was but he grabbed his cane and gave 1t crack In the end. Mrs yining was so frightened that she
 sat powerless to move or speak. Mir vining jumped up and taking a closer look saw that his visitor was a bull. By that time 1t had almost
 bumped up against table full of china. Mir Vining looked over the animal in-
 to the hall and counted four others
 standing in line and packed as tight as | they could be. The floor creaked with the unusual burden. and Mir Vining feared that the house would tumble | down.
 The ball was so narrow that the drivers of the bulls could not get in after them, so they went around and | in the back door, They could not make the first bull back up, because | the others were in his way and there
 was no room to turn around. A big crowd gathered and made suggestions. A half-hour passed and there the i've | creatures stood.
 Finally a farmer came along who
 was used to handling bulls. He climb ed over the last ones back and pushed
 him out gradually. He repeated the performance on all the others. and at last the house was emptied. In get | ting them out one bull banged against | the front door and smashed it. The house is two or three steps ID from the sidewalk. and the door is unusually narrow. It is thought that the bulls
 smelled or heard water running in the Winnings kitchen.
