Watt admitted that she had but hint

FIRST WIFE INTENDED VICTIM
Private Detective Gives Testimony
Which Led to the Arrest
of Hugh Watt.

LONDON. Aug. 19.-Hugh Watt. q
financier and formerly a member of the
British parliament for Glasgow. is un-
der arrest on the charge of trying to
bribe a private detective to help him
poison the former Mrs, Watt.
Detective Marshall testified in a po-
lice court that Watt offered him S25, 600
if he would induce the woman who
divorced him 20 go to his apartments.
Marshall swore that Watt proposed to
chloroform Mrs. Julia Watt to death
and then 10 kill the odor of chloroform
with that OF peppermint
The police found both chloroform and
peppermint in Watts apartments. He
was remandcd for trial in $4,000 bail.
Beautiful Women, Plain Man.
This is not the first time poison-or
accusations about ft-and private detec
tives have figured in the bitter quarrels
between Watt and his former wife, in
which the other chief actor has been
Lady Violet Beauchamp. Both women
are exceptionally beautiful. Watt is un
gainly, plan of feature far from the
accepted type of lady-killer
Sir Reginald Beauchanp got a divorce
from his wife. Lady Violet, daughter OF
the late Earl of Roden, in May 1901.
sir Reginald named Watt as co-respon-
dent ard incidentally sued for $4,000
for winning away the lovely Lady Vio-
let, The jury gave Sir Reginald n
balm oil $4,000, which Watt promptly
paid.
Indignant Wife.
Scarcely had this been arranged when
a sensa tfonaI libel suit stirred society
just as has Watts arrest. Mrs. Watt
brought suit for libel against Lady
Violet, charging that she had deliber-
ately tried 80 poison Watts mind
against her by most atrOcious accusa-
lions. Mrs. Watt testified that Lady
I Violet was always caressing' Watt in
her presence, and that he boasted of it.
In support of her charge that Lady
Violet had poisoned her husband ;
mind against her. Mrs Watts lawyer
produced a letter which, ne alleged the
earfs daughter wrote to Watt, reading
in part:

Coal Ashes in tho Garden.

We frequently see the advice given
to use ashes as fertilizer, but the writ
ers Of such items do not always specify
whether wood ashes or coal ashes Is
meant. AS is generally known wood
ashes have considerable value as fer
tilizer, largely because Of the amount
Of potash contained in them. Large
quantities of unleached wood ashes are
yearly brought from Canada and used
on our farms; in some sections they are
extensively used on grass land.
The late Robert Bonner. the noted
horseman, applied wood ashes for sew
eral years in succession to his meadows
and for something like twelve years
after the last application Of wood ashes
these meadows have had no fertilizer
except moderately heSvy top dressing
of stable manure each fall; the crop
yearly has been a most satisfactory
one. Coal ashes can be utilized to adj
vantage around orchard trees where
the soil is heavy or clayey in charac-
ter; they may also be used as a mulch
around shrubbery and small trees to
conserve the moisture in the soil. These
ashes are less Objectionable for such
purposes than the coarse stable man
ure generally used.

Wide or Narrow Tires :

On smooth, hard roads the difference
is not so great, but on sandy or muddy
roads or in plowed fields wide tires
are so much better than narrow ones
that we wonder that farmers do not
insist on having them. The Metropoli-
tan and Rural Homes publishes the
following:
The Missouri experiment station has
made a series Of tests extending from
January to September of last year IN
order to ascertain the value OF wide
tires as compared with narrow ones.
Conclusions follow.
In conducting the experiments two
ordinary farm wagons were used. one
with six-inch tires, the other with
standard one and one-half-inch tires.
both wagons of the same weight, and
each loaded with 2OO0 pounds. 1t was
found that the power needed to draw
the narrow-tired wagon, with 2OOO-
pound load. OH a gravel road, would
have pulled a load of 2472 pounds on
the wide-tired wagon. The same pow
er required to draw narrow tires
over dirt and gravel roads, when these
were dry and hard, was found sufti-
cient to draw 2530-pound load on the
wide-tired wagon under the same con-
ditions. 1t was shown that where
these roads were deep with mud. but
partially dried at the surface with a
few hours sun, the same power re-
quired to draw the 20O0-pound load
over them on the narrow tires would
pull load of 300 pounds on the wide
tires.
The director of the station states
that the conditions under which the
narrow tires offer an advantage over
the wide ones are unusual and OF
short DURATION and further, that
Through a majority Of days in the
year, and at times when the dirt roads
are most used. and when their use is
most imperative, the broad tired
wagon will pull materially lighter than
he narrow-tired wagon" Also that

pastures, stubble land. corn ground,
and plowed ground in every condition,
from dry, hard and firm to very wet
and soft, shows without a single ex-
ception a large difference in draft in
favor Of the broad tires. The differ
ence ranged from seventeen to 120 per
cent.
As a result Of all experiments con-
Quoted he says: 1T appears that six
inches is the best width Of tire for

and that both axles should be the same
length, so that the front and hind
wheels will run in the same track."

Large Black Peas Praised.

With us, writes W. W.B.J., in Home and
Farm, the large black pea has given
the most satisfactory results. 1t is a
strong and vigorous grower, makes q
great mass Of haulm, natures and
dries early. so that dry pods can be
gathered in September: and in yield
of seed exceeds, we believe, all other
varieties. 1t is as good as any for
stock or for hay. and the green peas
in summer or the dry peas in winter
are in every way as sweet and savory
and nutritious for man as any variety
of twelve or thirteen that we have
ever grown.
For an all-round pea. for any pur-
pose required by the farmer, we be-
lleve there is nothing better than the
large-seeded, all-black variety. There
is a small-seeded kind, but not so good.
Let the farmer try to work this sort
out from his seed.
And for planting purposes, or for
use on the table in winter. a portion
of the crop should be planted rather
late in July. in order to have seed not
infested with that great pest of this
crop, the little pea bug. At the South,
the early sowings are invariably in
tested with this insect. Farmers who
would make speciality Of the black
pea for seed would doubtless find it
profitable. At S1.50 to $3.50 per bush
ell of seventy pounds the crop pays
well.

EPN0R7H LEAGUE LESSONS
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 10.
Ny cov.nan. With the people Of God.

Ny Covenant With the People Of God.
Psa. 81. 6; Nal. 2. 5. 6; 2 Ccr.8. II.
Our lesson has special references to
our covenant as a member Of the
League to God and to our fellow mem-
bers. The vows Of church member
ship are sacred. The pledge Of the
League does not add to those so much
as 1t defines and emphasizes certain
features of that covenant. The pledge
is easily and naturally divided into
three separate general divisions.
A Covenant Of Personal Holiness
We Methodists believe In a very high
standard of personal experience. We
believe the highest standards Of ex-
perience and life" to be nothing less
than entire conservation and perfect
love. This personal holiness WeS
should seek earnestly" and not only
so but help others to attain to this
experience. We are under special
obligation in view of the. pledge to do
this.
A Covenant of Personal Abstinence.
There are some prevalent indulgences
which we as members of the Epworth
League have promised to abstain
from. Certain forms OF worldly.
amusements the church has put under
ban as dangerous to the spiritual life.
How can we be consistent members
and ignore this? In certain CON-
munities this is hard part OF the
covenant to keep. But how can we
raise up a stalwart and spiritual race
of Christians without the recognition
that we are to come out from the,
world and be clean in life and influ-
ence? God has covenanted to do GER
tain things for. us under certain con-
ditions. We have pledged him that
we would not do certain questionable
things. God will keep his pledge;
will we keep ours?
A Covenant Of Personal Co-opera-
tion. The church needs our service.
The League will fail unless we help
We need universal participation. We
ought to be ashamed Of being a sponge
taking In all the time AID not giving
out. We are to be laborers together
with God. We are to contribute to
the interest of both League and church
services. We have made solemn
pledge OF loyalty to God and his
church. Let us recognize its sacred.
ness and keep it.

Medical Missions. 6
It was said of DR.. John G. Kerr o.
China that two Of the difficult opera
tions he was constantly performing
would, If performed and paid for ct
home, have more than paid his years
salary as missionary. -. :
DR.. Chamberlain Of India, when two
New York Physicians told him IL was
impossible that he could have had In
his critical operations so large a per-
centage Of recovery, answered that
on the mission field unbelief does not
hinder The workings Of Gods power
as 1t does in the United States.
1t Is said that the great medical
missionary DR.. Asahel Grant OF Per
sia, had twenty times more inter-
course with the MohaLlmedans than
the missionary who was sent out ex-
pressly to labor among them but was
not physician. ~,
The medical missionary must be lar
more skillful than the average ply
sician or surgeon at home. because
he has to work usually without COM
petent nurses or assistants, and per-
form all operations alone.
In the Johns Hopkins Hospital the
cost Of each patient is $2.33 day: IN
the hospital Of Urumia, Persia, It is
less than seven cents day. -
There are more physicians and
medical workers in Chicago than In
all Of India and China together.
In the United States. We have one
physician to every six or seven hum
dred persons. We send out one
medical missionary to every two mil
lion of the heather. "a
Christian work cannot be carried
on in the best way without some
money, and though our society work
need cost but little, and though En-
deayorers everywhere give spassSyoe
their money TO the church, q %<as
money Is neeaed-to pay 5Dic-
cards, hymn-books, a>Attle soszu en-
tertainment cow and then, and iiterS
ature useful in carrying on the
work.
This money Is best raised by the
system Of annual pledges, and a cer-
tain part Of what is pledged should
be definitely set aside for the socie-
ty, the rest to be used for the church
expenses and for missions.

SILVER MOTHS.

As last resort to get rid OF silver
moths, take the drawers from the
dressers. Wash them thoroughly with
hot alum-water. Fill n bowl with for
maldehydc and keep the room closed
tightly for forty-eight hours. After
the fumigation throw open the win
dows and permit the aif to enter. Fill
the drawers with cedar shavings, pow
dered. This gives a fresh odor, and
is protection against destructive in
vaders. Formaldehyde is liquid that
must not touch the skin. While evap-
Grating it sets free a suffocating gas
that enters the cracks. killing all in
sects; no living thing can exist in it.

Sugar Beets For Hocs.

II. G. NJ, Rome. Cal am raising a
larger amount Of hogs than formerly.
In connection with other feed for them
have raised one-half ton Of white
sugar beets. Please tell me the most
economical and profitable way to feed
them. whether cooked or uncooked,
and, If cooked, what other ingredients
to mix with them?
Answer-Mix the sliced, or boiled
and mashed, sugar beets with corn
meal at the rate Of six to eight pounds
of beets to one pound Of corn meal.
If you have root slicer use it and
feed the beets raw with the meal, II
the hogs will eat them. Cooking does
not add to their value. One pound Of
corn meal is equal in feeding value
to about six pounds Of first-rate sugar
beets.
