One Way of SHINING a Horse.

Hides are high now, and even a
horse hide is worth taking off if done
in this manner. Rip the belly and
legs and skin the legs down to the
body, and the belly back six to twelve
inches on each side, using a common
skinning or butcher knife. Also skin
out the tail bone and along up rump
ten or fifteen inches, then loop a chain
or a strong rope around this tail rump
skin, running it forward past the head
of the dead brute. FaSten the dead
horses body by rope on hind legs,
then hitch two good live horses to rope
on hide, and if they pull true and
steady they will skin the horse while
you watt Now, this is no theory,
nor is it anything new, but it may. be
new to some and applies to any large
animal whose meat has no value. In
skinning any animal that has been
dead long, it is a good plan to wear
gloves or mittOnS that have been wet in
Il weak solution of carbolic acid, to
guard as much as possible against
blood poison. And if there is any pos
sibility that a horse has died of CLAN
ders, don't skin him at all, but bury
at least eight feet Deep Southern
Planter.

which the best cOnveyanceS of royalty

those days were poor in all the con-

was a bowling wilderness.
Pessimists, while admitting the
marvellous development along material
lines, insists that there has been no
moral improvement, that people are
more wicked, less honest, far more
corrupt and grasping than in the Olden
days. This is a great mistake. There
has been as wOndrOuS an advance in
genuine intellectual civilization as in
material things. Man has shed many
of his worst superstitiOns. He no
longer kills hundreds of thousands of
innocent women and girls for COM
mitting the impossible crime of witch
craft. Torture, as a punishment for
crime or as a means of wringing con-
feSSiOns, is prohibited by the laws of
every civilized government. mo cruel
or unusual punishment shall be in

United States. Freedom of the press

On the American continent, from the
st. Lawrence to the uttermOst reaches
of Terra Del FuegO, while in 1905
every foot of land south of the Gulf of
Mexico was governed by European
despOts. Individual men, of course re-
main much the same in all ages. They
have the same passions and appetites
and these lead to greed, to dishonesty
in all forms, to RIGHTEOUSNESS and to
the graver crimes. Civilization itself
breeds it's own peculiar vices and dis
eases and our very progress and pros
perity engender vicious elements, just
as the richest soils are most prolific in
weeds and nOXiOus insects. On the
whole, however, there has been great
progress all along the line and the mil
lions of happy farmers, now resting
after the most perfect and fruitful of
all agricultural seasons, may look
back with cOmplacency upon what has
been done in this country in the space
covered in a single lifetime.

, aDle pace l1ey were all SOOn SedIeu
around finely furnished table in a
vast and stylishly appointed dining
room. Liking things at home, it was
decided to duplicate the dinner they
had enjoyed before leaving the farm.
This required six separate orders, con-
sisting of fried chicken, mutton, sever
al vegetables, bread and butter, baked
apples and pie all around. Many of
the home dishes were left out as
Isuperfuities and it was well this was
done, as turned out in the sequel.
When the bill was brought in it was
found that milk fed chicken cost
81 80, new Lima beans 30 cents, baked
apples 20 cents, young beets 80 cents,
and so on. The chicken and mutton
were distinctly inferior to the article
they had at home, not near so well
cooked and inferior in flavor. All the
vegetables lacked freshness and were
hence deficient in appetizing qualities
When it was all added up, the farm
er found that his dinner had cost him
81 apiece for each one, or S24 for the
six. He was heard to murmur some
thing like 'Geewhilikins," and moth
er was noticed to be rolling up her
eyes in aStOniShment, while the boys
wondered what the man would charge
for his whole restaurant at the same
rate. But the farmer was brave,
things had been coming his way this
season and he concluded he could
stand it once in while, but alto
gether decided that the sooner they
got along to the house of their rela-
tive the better it would be for his
bank account.
This story is enlarged upon for the
purpose of impreSSing the lesson that
every farmer is able to live much bet
ter at home than he can in the finest
hotel or cafe of the cities. He not
only gets all that one can WISH but
in much better form and quality. The
average prosperous farmer can live
like prince without knowing it. The
things he has on his table cannot be
duplicated at the Waldorf Astoria or
the Grand Palaces, where they want
from four to ten dollars day for
board. If farmers could sell the ar
ticles which composed the Sunday din
ner above described at half or even
fourth of the prices asked at the
swell restaurant, all of them would
soon be milliOnaires. The moral.
which suggests itself, is of course
cOntentment with ones condition
arising from knowledge of the com
forts enjoyed, and this will lead to the
further conclusion that every reason
ably prosperous farmer can live far
better at home than he can at any of
the most fashionable places abroad.

There is no kind of food which will
produce a more liberal supply of
eggs.
Boiled eggs which adhere to the
shells are fresh; a good egg will sink
in water: stale eggs are glossy and
smooth of shell; a fresh egg has a
lime-like surface to its shell.
Poultry will pay well as an addi-
ton to farm stock when they can OBJ
tain good portion of their food for
nothing. but this is different from
making speciality of them.
Always use a pure bred male in
the flock, no matter of what breed it
may be. and your chicks will not only
be uniform, but as a rule superior to
those of the previous season.
Care is that part of the routine of
poultry culture which bestOws a kind
hand on the tender younglings, to sup
ply their little wants with view of
promoting thrift and good health.
Keep everything about the poultry
house clean with plenty of fresh air
and sunlight; feed i'm a cleanly way
with great variety of food and
water daily with pure, fresh water.

own life.
A little over a month ago Andrews
and the woman arrived here on a
steamer from Australia. On the voy-
age they formed the acquaintance of
VIM. Ellis, horseman, who was COM
ing to California to attend the winter
racing. Ellis was known to have con-
siderable money in his possession.
Friendly relations were established and
when Andrews and the woman engaged
a cottage at Berkeley they invited him

The couple fled Immediately after Ell

tonight. Photographs of Andrews We're
obtained and he was positively identi-

Bessie Bouton, of Syracuse, n. Y, who
was murdered at Cutler Mountain, near
Colorado Springs, about ten months
ago. The man was then known as
Milton Franklin and had an alias of

briefly summarized by saying that but
little was forthcoming. There is an
arrangement whereby the city is given
free use of the pest house in the event
of contagious diseases, the city to fur
nish its own food, nurse and doctor.
but thus far the pest house has not
been completed and furnished. There
has been but one occasion to use it and
that was the case of a child brought
here with diphtheria from across the
river and the little one died before the
arrangements could be completed for
its entrance to the pest house. DR..
Simpson reported that while there was
very little diphtheria in town and none
whatever had developed in the schools
since their disinfection, he had neces-
sarily put the city to some expense in
disinfecting certain Mexican houses
where there had been cases, and con-
slant watchfulness was necessary.
There was one transaction of the
evening that was acted on both
promptly and just as the petitioner
asked. The city treasurer asked for a
new warrant book and he was in
structed to buy it.

MAUSOLEUM FOR M'KINLEY.
Brief Description of Magnificent Tomb
to Be Built for Remains of
Late President.

New York, May 1.-THE trustees
of the Mckinley National Memorial
association met Wednesday and for
mally approved the design for a MAUI
soleum submitted by H. VanBurne Nc
Gonigle, who was appointed consulting
architect to the board six months
ago. 1t was decided, also, that work
should be begun at once, and sub
committee was appointed, which will
exercise the function of a building
committee. At present the body of
President Mckinley is in a public
vault in Westlawn cemetery, Canton.
The association has purchased tract
of land adjoining the cemetery, which
will be known as Monument hill. The
approach to the hill, which is "a feet
high, called "the Mall" which is 600
feet in length, will be beautified at an
approximate expense of $4,000. Along
the middle of this mall, with walk
on either side, will be a waterway"
or artificial lake. A broad and mas
sive flight Of steps will lead from
the foot of the hill up to and, in fact,
form a part of the mausoleum. From
the foot of the hill to the top of the
mausoleum, the height of the stone
structure will be in the neighborhood
of IT'S feet. The detailed description Of
the monument will not be made public
yet, because the committee desires
first to copyright the plan and pictures
that they may be placed on sale for
the benefit of the monument fund.

HORRIBLE DISASTER.
Explosion Of Dynamite Wrecks Pas
senger Train-Twenty Killed
and 100 Injured.

Harrisburg, Pa, May 12.-Nineteen
persons are known to be dead and
more than 100 others were injured in
a railway wreck and dynamite explo-
sion which occurred early on Thursday
on the Pennsylvania railroad in the
southern part of this city. That not
more persons were killed is consid-
cred remarkable by the Pennsylvania
officials, as a full box car of dynamite
exploded directly at the middle of the
heavy express train.
There are various stories of how the
wreck occurred, but the official YER
sion is as follows: About lao O'Clock
train was tagged by the crew of a
shifting engine ahead on the same
track. The engineer quickly put on
his air brakes, and the train, an I'M
usually long one, came to sudden
halt. The strain on the air valves was
a severe one, and a connecting air hose
in the middle of the train blew out.
This caused the middle of the train to
"buckle" and the damaged cars fell
over on the passenger tracks. Just as
this happened the Cleveland express
came laundering up and "side-swiped'
the wreck. The express was stopped
within it's own length, and the third
sleeper was opposite the wrecked cars.
Before anyone could leave the pas
senger train, which was not very bad
ly damaged, few slight explosions
occurred and then there was one great
flash and roar that shook the earth.
The whole affair occurred within a
period of a few seconds. A scene of
horror followed the explosion of the
dynamite. The passenger cars and
some of the freight cars instantly took
fire and a number of passengers were
bur3ed to death before rescuers could
res&h them.
