BEAUMONT, TEN. The pro
posed Trinity, Livingstone and
Gulf railway is Incorporated to
run from Trinity to Beaumont
The purpose of the company is to
build line from the tracks of the
International and Great Northern
to the lumber Mills at Livingstone
this side of trinity and on a direct
line from Trinity to Beaumont. 1t
is now know that the International
Il Great Northern is to furnish
material for the construction of
the forty miles and this is followed
up by information to the effect
that the international and great
Northern propose to take it over
soon after it has been built and br-
ing it into Beaumont. From
statements of officials connected
with the International & Great
Northern, that road is to connect
up It's Watkins terminus at Lake
Charles by building a line on the
south side of the Southern Pacific
tracks from there to Beaumont
and then on to Houston.
The distance from New Iberia,
on a direct line, to the points
named below are computed by the

MISSING BOAT SAFE
Captain, Passengers and Crew
 Frozen In Lifeboat.
DAMARA FOUND TEN FATHONS DOWN
Terrible Suffering at Sea In Zeru Weather All Incased In Thick Coating of Ice-Brave Woman
 Among Rescued.

| HALIFAX, N. S., Feb. 9.-After bat ting for twelve hours in an open boat with the temperature degrees below zero and a mighty gale flashing the sea Captain GOrst, three passengers and ten of the crew of the ill fated Furness lines Damara have reached Pleasant point in safety The news of their safe arrival was received here by telephone from Musquodoboit har- bor
 The news was brought to Musquodo- bolt after q hard days travel through almost impossible snow drifted roads by one of the crew who landed in the first boat that left the wreck. He tele- phoned the agents here that Captain Gorst and the others in the second life boat. which had been reported miss ing. reached Pleasant point just before dark. The seaman reported all in the captains lifeboat to be badly frost bitten and exhausted, some of them be- ing so benumbed from the cold that they had to be lifted from the boat.
 It was with the greatest difficulty that the shore was reached amid the heavy breakers, and all were thorough ly drenched. They had suffered much the same experience as did the occu- pants of the first boat, but the weather they encountered was much worse. They were incased with thick ice from head to foot, and most of them had to be dragged from their craft. They were taken into nearby homes and made as comfortable as possible, but whether all will survive cannot be de termined at present.
 Mrs. Prowse, the lady passenger who was in this boat bore up under the try ing ordeal wonderfully well and endur- ed the great hardships with fortitude She encouraged the men when they were almost overcome by the cold and wearied with constant work at the oars. When near the landing the row CTS were so fatigued that they could not force the boat through the surf, and the men on shore waded out and dragged the boat in.>
 The tug F. w. Roebling that went out to the wreck has put into Jeddore for shelter owing to the severe gale blowing. Captain Harrison. the ma rine superintendent, has sent word to the Furness agency here that the tug found the Damara sunk in ten fathoms off Pleasant point.

Chicago Bl.ebeard Said to Have Used
 Most Deadly Poison knowY.
 CHICAGO. Feb. 9.-Curare. the most subtle and deadly poison known to modern science. is believed by pr. Jo- seph Springer, formerly coroner's phy- bann Hoch's wives.
 Dr. Springer is convinced the fatal drug was probably administered by means of engagement or wedding rings.
 By turning the inner edge of the ring" said Dr. Springer today. "or mak- ing it rough or sharp in any manner. applying the c,Irare on the rough edge and then slipping the ring on the finger so as to cause the slightest abrasion of the skin. death would follow.
 'It would only be necessary for the slightest quantity of the poison to reach the blood. One -sixtieth of grain of curare is fatal
 Foremost among the great crowd of persons who will be asked 10 identify Hoch upon his arrival from New York is a widow who is said to have some years ago married a man known as Leo Praexer. The description of Hoch tallies. if ia claimed. with that of Praeeer. According to information fur nished the police. the widow Praeger married hsd been left 5000 life in surance. of this amount. if is al- leged. Praeger secursd sa:SS to open a furniture store. A few days after the store had been opened the contents were mystericusiy removed and Prse- ger disappeared.

 Moderately well. your majesty" an swered the duke. with modesty.
 "Will you mount, noble sir, and ride with me? Yonder is the castle. and in the castle fig certain fair lady whom you no doubt fain would see"
 Long gazed the Duke of Friedwald at the distant venerable pile of stone. the majestic turrets and towers softly floating in a dreamy mist; the setting. fresh. woody. green. Long he looked at this inviting picture and then breathed deeply.
 "Ah, sire. would the meeting were over." he remarked in low voice. Why so. sir:" asked the king in sur prise. Do you fear you will not fan cy the lady;''

You appear slightly olter than I expected from the letter of our dear friend and brother. the emperor.

Points Which Should Be Observed in Picking the Living Milk
 Machine.

We want a living machine to convert food into milk. The machine must be able to produce certain amount of product to meet expenses, and more to give profit. There must be capacity and ability to handle enough food to give these results. This requires a capacious body, large stomach, long intestines and a large heart action. A man in buying overlooked small body because the color was all right. Think of it. Worthless as a machine, but color right. Would you buy worth less tool because it was painted a bright red? Quantity of milk for profit requires the condition of ability to digest The COW should have wide space from the hindquarter to the rib. The shape and bones, even, of all ami mals are gradually changed by en- vironments and feed. Robbing the udder constantly stimulates action of those parts and calls for more food that is. a larger paunch-and the ribs were in the way. There are many COWS which have floating rib, and from some it has disappeared. The con- stantly enlarging paunch increases tho strain on the back. the ribs are less sprung and the crest and fish back ap- pear 10 give more strength.
 Not so Handsome, perhaps. but handsome" is the bane of the breed ger. The sprung rib indicates fat on the back rather than in the pail. All food is converted into milk through the blood. Feed and care tend to create form. and many almost overcome breed tendencies and ruin the animal. We should feed to give great girth and give heart capacity: free action of the lungs. so blood will be purified. The great tendency to and prevalence of tuberculosis may be from insufficient lung action and improper form. The pelvic arch should be above the level, an indication of strength and enables the COW to calve easily. Such COWS. with a proper selection of the sire, are usually well able to transmit their qualities to the offspring. A big mouth is an indication of ability to use coarse foods: the mouth is an indica- ton of the size of the intestines. A weak. small mouth and inferior-sized intestines are not good signs of a great producer.-O. c. Gregg, in Prairie Farmer.

 I've heard your majesty hath prac- ticed deeply" returned the noble read fly in spite of his perplexity.
 Deeply" Francis lifted his brow q am but superficial student, master only of the rudiments, no graduate of the college of love. Moreover, I've heard the letters you exchanged were -ahem-well enough writ. You pressed your suit warmly for one unlearned, a mere novice."

MAKING BUTTER IN ARABIA
Ancient Methods Are Still in Vogue There-Churn Is a Sheep
 Skin.

In Arabia the people are not yet adopting the hand separator or the improved churn. The people there are contented to make butter as it has been made by their ancestors for thousands of years. The churn is asheep-skin that has been denuded of wool and sewed up to make big vessel. The milk is poured into the skin and the top tied together tightly. The skin is then swung by . cord to a peg on the wall. The woman that does the .churnins sits fiat on the floor and rocks the bag back and forth. Of course this agitation causes the for nation of butter granuIes- As the tenn perature of the hut is likely to be high. the butter is made af . high temperature and both moisture and curd are incor- porAted with it to A considerable degree Such butter does not keep long The buttermilk ie used as a liquor in which 10 cook meat Little scraps Of meat are boiled up in this milk and the whole made into a thick gravy that Is poured over rice for the family repas'- That ends the churniuGIFarmers' Review.
