Horrible Method of Suicide.

living three miles soutb Of this village,
committed suicide to day. The young
woman had been suffering from ex.
treme nervousness and the superstition
is that che became temporarily insane.
This morning her husband was called
away on urgent business and soon after
he departed his wife went to the barn,
which contains large watering tank
Investigation shows that she chopped a
hole in the ice large enough to admit
her body. There was no water in the
reservoir, it having been drawn off to
prevent free zing, but a canopy Of ice
four or five inches thick remained.
Cutting through this, she set the
windmill in motion, crawled into the
tank and awaited death. 1t is thought
she was chilled into Inconsistencies
long before the water reached her lungs,
as there are no evidences of struggle.

ROMANOFF DYNASTY.
First of the Cars Was Chosen
by a Representative
Assembly.
New York Tribune. I

Tho Romanoff dynasty Of Cars, of
which the present Emperor Of Russia is
a member, has ruled the empire since
1913, when Michael Feodorvitch Roman
off was elected Gear by an assembly of
representatives, following national
uprising. The previous rulers, the des-
cendants of Ivan ILL.,, who threw off
the yoke of the Monguls in 1852, became
extinct about 1892, and the country had
been torn by wars among the mobiles
and by popular risings against them. 1t
was as the champion of the last Of these
risings that the Romanoff dynasty came
intopower.
The steady growth of the Russian
empire began about this time. Michael
purchased peace from the Poles and de-
voted himself to strengthening the en-
pire, but under his son the territory
given the Poles was recovered, and his
grandson conquered the Cossacks and
fought the first successful war with the
Turks. Another grandson of Michael,
Peter the Great, is considered in many
respects the real founder Of the empire
as a modern power. 1t was he who in

miller Is. d. Cor. New York Herald.
The killing of 80 jack rabbits at one
shot by a woman who poked gun bar
rel through her kitchen window, win
ming barrel of Baldwin apples as a
wager from her husband, is a story
that is causing interest here.
1t was during the deep snow of last
week. The woman sprinkled a bushel
of oats in path in range of the kitchen
window. The rabbits gathered by the
score, until there was long row of
them eating oats by the bright moon
light. The woman fired and her aim
was accurate. The dead rabbits, it is
said, weighed 800 pounds.
The woman sold enough rabbits to
buy herself a new bone-cutter, and then
cut up the remainder and fed them to
her flock of chickens, which means lots
of eggs, for nothing, it is said, puts hen
in the mood of breaking the Egg Trust

The Value of Example.

To have your child truthful be truth
full.
To have him kind to Others be your
self kind to others.
To have him honest, present to him
in yourself living example of honesty.
The chief part of a child's knowledge
comes through observation. Acts mean
more to him than speech.
To have him temperate, be temperate
in all things.
Prove to him by your life that good
name is to be chosen before great riches.
Teach him that riches are not to be
despised, but should never be got by
doing harm to others; that when &C.
quired, should be treated as a trust,
not as a hoard.
Prescribe healthful amusements, and
30 far as you can, take part in them.
