Brutally beaten and ciuffbed, then shot to
death the body thrown Into a well on his
little farm, four miles from New Canaan
Conn. at Selleck's Corners was the fate Of
Selleck Damn. seventy-three years old, who
had lived alone for years. The nearest
house is half a mile away, and the old man
often said he wanted no nearer neighbors.
1t was not until today that the discovery
of the murder was made. Damn had not
been seen since June 4.

no tramp but person near at hand. A

Damn was a bachelor, and his home stood
in a lonely spot near the New York state
boundary line. He worked his small farm

basket maker. His shop was in the base
ment of his house. and ii was here that he

ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

indianapolis News: The English is
a living language, and is, bound to
change both in spelling and grammar.
There was time when the split infni-
tive was more widely accepted than it
SIS today and the double. or quadruple
negative was in good repute. There
was also a time when spelling was SO
different from present usage as to be
nearly unintelhgible noWwhich caused
Artemus Wards witty remark that
Chaucer may have been a great poet
but he could not spell. AS long as a
language is alive change is its order,

HOW TO CARVE A CHICKEN.

The chicken should be placed
on the dish so that the breast is
to the left of the carver. The
fork should be deeply driven in
at the small end of the brest
bone.
Now the legs at the far side of
the carver is removed by cutting
the meat around the joint and
then separating the bone at the
joint with the end of the knife.
The wing on the same side is
removed in the same way.
Now the bird is turned over
away from the carver and the
wing and leg on the near side
are detached. Then slices are
cut off fro m the side of the
breast, the carver being careful
to count each guest to see that
he give a piece of the breast
along with some of the dark
meat.
Not cut through the ribs from
neck to tail so as to pass through
the leg socket. This should be
done on both sides Of the foul.
The knife is then quietly turned
and the front and back Of the
carcass are separated along the
lines of the last cut. The fork
is now taken out and the thighs
separated from the drumsticks.

ZINC COVERED KITCHEN TABLE.

One of the most convenient
and useful pieces of kitchen fur
niture imaginable, is the kitchen
table covered with zinc. The
old-time oil-cloth covering will be
discarded after one trial of the
zinc. It is so easily cleaned.
Just wash with soap and water,
and occasionally clean with paper
saturated with kerosene to give
it the gloss and smooth surface
desirable. One never need think
whether dishes are hot or cold,
as with oil-cloth. To make the
table, take a good plain table for
the purpose, and if the man of
the house is at all handy he will
have just what is wanted with
little trouble. The zinc must be
flattened smooth on top, then
turned down at edge, hammering
to make it turn, then turned un-
der and tackled. This leaves a
smooth easily cleaned edge. La

The C0urier.JOurnaI to take Nine
teen Young Women Abroad
As Guests.

The Courier-Journal is con-
Quoting a popularity contest that
eclipses anything of the kind
ever promoted in this section.
Briefly, the Courier-Journal pro-
poses to take on a seven weeks
tour abroad ninteen young wo-
man from Kentucky and South
ern Indiana, all expenses paid,
from the day the party leaves
Louisville, July IL, until it re-
turns to ''The Old Kentucky
Home" August g. To give all
a chance the Courier-Journal has
divided Louisville and Kentucky
and Southern Indiana into eigh-
teen districts, and the most pop
ular young woman from each dis
trict is to be the one to make the
tour. The nineteenth young wo-
man is to be selected in another
way. Readers of the Courier
Journal are to select the guests
for the paper, by ballot. It is
estimated that the trip alone will
cost the Courier-Journal about
SIS, 600, to say nothing Of Incl

penses. There may be a young
woman from this section who is
a candidate for this tour. Write

FOR SHIRT WAISTS.

A tray made of a strong paste
board box, covered with silesia
or chintz, will greatly increase
the convenience of the shirtwaist
box, so valuable for holding silk
skirts, shirtwaists or hats. Any
body can easily get possession of
the necessary pasteboard box, as
most people have had at one time
or another, suits and dresses
sent home. Two small pieces of
wood tackled inside the wooden
box, one at each end at the de-
sired height, will hold up the box
as the tray of a trunk is held up.
Or two small hooks instead of
the pieces of wood may be used
as the support, and the tray hung
on them by means of loops of
tape.
This addition will keep the
hats and waists in better condi-
ton, and it will not be necessary
to turn the entire contents of the
box upside down so often when
there is hurry for an article.
