Look After the Furnace Now.

Why not attend to the furnace in
the spring instead of waiting till the
busiest time of the stove dealer? A
piece Of lime placed in the frepot thru
the summer months will prevent it
from rusting, but one of the best meth
DDS is to have the pipe that connects
the furnace with the chimney removed,
and, after being cleaned, taken into the
attic for the summer. If left in place,
the pipe rusts, more or less rapidly.
during the summer, from it's accumula-
tion Of SCOT and the action of damp
ness. This way of doing entails no
extra expense, as the whole furnace can
be cleaned at the same time, killing
two birds with one stone. Almost any
oman of the house Or woman either
can replace the clean pipe in the
fall A yearly cleaning of the furnace
means economy of fuel.

Mating RUGS,

When buying mating, get three or
four yards extra for summer rugs. Cut
this extra piece into the desired lengths
and finish at the edges by pulling out
the straws to the depth Of about four
inches, and tying the threads. These
rugs protect the mating as well as
best of all, there is no fuzz and nap to

are used need to be swept only about
half as often as the others. =. -s..

There are more cottages built at the

There are six well-arranged rooms.

BODY OF
BOY IN
7 He BAY
Was Brought to This City and Is
Now at GarretsOn's MOrgue--
In Water Some Time.
mot YET IDENTIFIED.

The body of a small boy was found
in the bay between here and the
hook, by Tierce Johnson, of this
city, late yesterday afternoon, and
brought to this city. 1t was landed
at the STEAMBOAT dock and was taken
to Ferd Garretson's undertaking es-
tablishment.
A description is as follows: About
II years old; 4 feet inches tall;
brown hair, not closely cut; wore
dark blue knee pants, somewhat
worn, and with a tear in the knee
mended; light blue sailor blouse,
with star and sprays on front; pair
of newly-soled shoes, size 13, with
a patch on the tip of the right shoe;
black ribbed stockings; short sleeve
underwaist; and one black elastic
garter.
The body appeared as though it
had been in the water for some time,
perhaps several weeks, but because
of the warm weather, 1t was thought
that it might have taken on that ap-
pearance in a short space of time.
That view led to the belief that 1t
might possibly be the body of Charles
Sorenson, who was drowned Sunday
at st. George, S. l., as told in the
NEWS. He was the son of Mrs. An
ma Sorenson, of Tompkinsville. The
boy was playing on piling inclosing
the municipal ferry slip when he fell.
Other children who were with him
ran away in fright and did not tell
his mother for several hours.
Chief of Police Burke got into COM
munication with the Tompkinsville
authorities this morning.
Some who have had experience
with drowned bodies in the past said
today that they incline to theory of
foul play, as there was no water
found in the boys stomach, and his
tongue was sticking out. The body
had very evidently been in the water
several weeks.

NOT TO
DEBATE
Turns Down the Challenge Sent
to Him by George |.
Record.

United States Senator John +. Dry
den will not meet George L. Record
in Joint debate, Notwithstanding the
Jersey City mans invitation to the
junior senator to discuss national
questions at the same time from the
same platform. Mr. Dryden made
this announcement in a letter to Mr..
Record this morning. 1t was brief
reply and very formal, but in it the
senator took occasion to call atten-
tion to the fact that Mr.. Records let
ter had apparently not been signed
by him. The letter follows:
'.Dear Sir--Upon my return to
Washington after few days absence
find your typewritten letter of June
6, signed George l.. Record with
the initials X G. underneath, which
| assume to be those of your stenog-
rapher, inviting me to join you in a
series of joint debates in the several
counties of our state.
Il have other plans, after my du-
ties during the present session of
congress have been performed, for
presenting to the people of New Jer-
sey my views upon issues, national in
their character, such as would be
likely to come before a United States
senator for his official action, and I,
therefore, feel constrained to decline
your invitation.
VERY truly yours,
John F. DRYDEN.
Foolish was the only comment
Mr. Record made on the letter from
Mr. Dryden, and that remark he APP
piled to the first paragraph of the re-
ply. AS to the main subject matter
of the missive, Mr.. Record had moth
ing to say.

charming in handsome dress of white
satin, and her diamonds, the wedding
gift of her husband, were remarkably
beautiful.
The chief decorative feature of the
Dorchester House dinner was n mag
niticent representation of the Ameri-
can eagle in white Italian marble. Mr..
Reid procured the emblem awhile ago
in Rome and placed it in position the
other day in honor of Mr.. and Mrs
Longworth 1t will remain in Dorches-
ter House during the remainder of Mr..
Reids tenancy and afterward will
adorn his country house in America.
AT the back of the house has been
erected a huge marquee in light green
and white, fitted with electroliers and
tables, the whole forming a handsome
apartment, where supper was laid.
The guests included the Earl of Gra-
nard, lord In waiting to the king; Ma
jor George Lindsay Hoford, equerry
in waiting; the Duke of Richmond and
Gordon, the Duke and Duchess of Buc-
cleuch, the Duke and Duchess of Marl-

1t may be that the farmer has to
start with scrub live stock. But
even the scrub caa be improved by
regularly selecting the best and
using no other for purposes Of in
crease. Indeed this is how all i'm
provement was made at first, and
how all our breeds have been form
ed.
An old farae r with all this in
mind, exresses himself as here
follows: TOO much care can not
be exercised to select thoroughly
healthy and vigorous animals for
breeding purposes. We operate
for disease whenever unsound ami
mails are thus employed by us, or
when we subject pregnant animals
to cruelty in any form. Too much
care cannot he taken to avoid all
conditions which will injure or
excite the pregnant animals, as
such conditions have a very SER
ious effect on their offspring.
Sometimes a crippled animal
may be used fer breeding pur-
3oses, when it has been thus in
iured accidentally; but when the
trouble arises from disease that is
her, ditary, the animal should he
discarded entirely for purp ses of
increase.
I'm the horse, more than in any
other animal, perhaps, are the
diseases of the sire and dam APP
parent in the offspring. For this
reason, lame or blind horse
should never be allowed to breed,
unless the trouble can be traced To
an accident. If a COW has any
defect in her udder, the same de-
feet is very often manifested in
her heifer calves; such calves
should always be sold to the
butcher
1t is more than likely that many
old farmers know about these
things. There are young farmers
ever appearing, who may not
know. We tel the story tor
them.
