INSANE WOMAN'S BLOODY RECORD
Killed Her Husband and Three
u Children and Then Ends
Her Own Life

Little Rock, Sept. 3.-8Irs.
Frank Polsgrove, who killed her
husband and three children at her
home in Clay county, August 81 81,
committed suicide Sunday morn
ing at the State Hospital for Ner-
vous Diseases near this city. The
woman was brought to this city
and placed in the hospital Satur-
day morning and had been conin-
ed less than u hours when she in
vented means to end her own
life.
Some time between 2 and /
O'Clock Sunday morning the wom-
an tied a sheet around one Of the
bars in the window of her room
and wound the other end around
her throat. When her body was
found the position indicated that
after winding the sheet around her
neck she crouehed down upon the
floor in such way as to leave her
weight suspended upon the sheet.
In this way she strangled herself
to death. The woman was dead
eWhen discovered by one OF the
guards.
Mrs. Polsgrove was not violent
and there was no suspicion that
she might make an attempt upon
her own life. She was placed in a
room which an attendant visited
frequently 1t was sometime be-
tween two of these visits that she
succeeded in committing suicide.
The tragedy which has now re-
suited in wiping out the entire
family of Frank Polsgrove occur
red on August d Mrs. Polls
grove had been mentally unbal-
adced for several years, but she
had always been regarded as harm
less. Seized with sudden fit of
homicidal mnuia she attacked her
husband ana their three children
with an axe. She killed her hus-
band and her four year-old baby
and then set fire to the house. Be
fore any one arrived on the scene
the house was in flames and the
bodies OF the husband and baby
were burned. The two other chill
dren, Hubbard, aged IL, and Lex
lie, aged 10, were discovered in the
yard suffering from wounds which
later caused their death. Lexie,
the little girl, died within a short
time after she was injured, but the
boy, Hubbard, lived for several
days. He died last Tuesday at
Paragould. where he had been TAX
en- for treatment.

ter. If about one-third water is added to two
thirds juice and a cup Of sugar for each cup OF
liquid, the product will be much more delicate
than where the undiluted juice is used, and near
ly one-half more jelly will be obtained from the
same quantity of fruit. In the seasons when
certain varetesof fruit scarce it is convenient
to know this but after having once made jelly

the older process even when fruit is abundant.
SWIMMING MORE IMPORTANT THAN
STRAINING.
vast amount Of needless anxiety is expend'
ed upon the question of the jelly bag for strain
ing the fruit juice. Certainly the juice must be
strained, but that this is not the pivotal point
upon which successful jelly making turns may
easily be demonstrated by any one who cares to

have better looking fruits when only small

Thoroughly clean and weigh tho fruit, allow

to the fruit, and cook until it spins thread
then add tho fruit and cook gently until thick

Preserves contain 30 much sugar that they are
liable to scorch, and - preventive place an
asbestos mat underneath the vessel to prevent 1t
from boiling too quickly and burning. Stir as

When thoroughly done place into small jars and

Before placing hot liquid In glass Jars, heat
them in vessel containing hot water and place
on the back Of the stove, 80 that the scalding
fruit will not crack them. A hot cloth should
also be placed about the jar, and In all cases,
when preserving or canning, fill the glass 50 that

SUNSHINE PRESERVES.
In Ohio and others of the Middle States Of

usually sufficiently intense in the summer months
to cook such small fruits as berries and cherries

the most delicious way of preserving fruit, as

/ W, tHe SOuHtess OIL WdFWlck, has oIlSA-
k=%S mated new couture that has had
tAsssss) tremendous following during the Lon
don season. The Countess possesses
the most enviable masses of wavy hair, and,
like many of her native sisters, is not required
to indulge in false ringlets or chignons. For
many years her couture has been arranged in a
similar fashion to Queen Alexandra's; therefore
the innovation is of pertinent nature.
This new model is exceptionally smart and Is
built up Of Marcel waves, puffsin abundance, .
draped pompadour and little circles.
An American just back from tother side gives
this interesting description:
First of all The is MARCHED in the regular
way, then the womans own hair is caught up
with big amber pin at the back after it has
been rolled into q pretty puff and fastened in
place just at the crown of the head.
The pompadour is next fastened into place,
the "draping" meaning that the hair is pulled
well forward over the forehead. It is generally
slightly parted either to the right or left, as is
most becoming. After this process is accom-.
plished, then comes the placing of the false puffs
and with this new style couture the woman with
the least amount of hair is the better off for the
reason that it is much easier to fasten the false
puffs into place than make the same from one's
own hair. '''e
l
add the curls, and six or eight, as many, indeed.
as one can find room for, are tucked in about
the crown of the head.
In nearly every style the low pompadour ia
best liked. Another pretty way of dressing the
hair is to do it on top of the head. twisting 4
into knot, from the middle of which issue a
series of little short curls. The back of the hair
is MARCHED and the profusion of tiny curls lends
a most bewitching effect to a certain type Of
woman and is essentially becoming =
Il In nearly every case when the pompadour il
worn it is parted either on the right or left side
as is most becoming With the coronet style Of
hair dressing the rompadour may be used though
the effect is prettiest when the hair is simply
parted, the coronet resting just over the brow.
| In the use of the Countess of Warwick couture.
when the hair is dressed low the puffs extend
from ear to ear in the back, while in front there
is the usual pompadour. All of these puffs are
false, naturally, as it would be manifestly impos-
! sible to the proper effect if the natural hair
7 was used.
) Probably the newest decoration for the hair Is
the use Of amber combs Of all descriptions. Very
| light amber for very dark hair, dark amber for
very light blonde hair, always seeking as great
!, contrast as possible. Furthermore, a. to the
style of the combs, all of them have the olive
shaped tops. A large comb is used in the back
( with at least two side combs. Since the run on
{ goldmounted COMBS, and the consequently cheap
: ening of the style has come about, the beautiful
] translucent amber comes as q welcome change,
and it Is universally becoming not only to blondes,
4 but to brunettes.

Large fruit should be pared, CHARTERED and cored.
Proceed as with peach preserve. A thinly sliced
lemon for every two pounds Of fruit or bit Of
ginger root may be cooked with the preserve.
PRESERVED OUNCES.
Do not attempt to preserve ounces until they
begin to turn yellow. If frost threatens they may
be gathered and laid aside to ripen.
When ready to put up" rub off the fur with
coarse towel, pare, core and quarter, dropping
the pieces in cold water to prevent diseoloration
Save the parings and cores in separate vessel
for making jelly. Put two layers Of the ounce
quarters into preserving kettle, cover with cold
water and cook over slow fire until the fruit
is tender. When done, skin out and lay on a
fat dish to COOL Repeat this process, until all
the ounces are cooked. Strain the water in
which the ounces have been boiled, and to each
pint Of juice allow three-quarters OF pound Of
sugar.

Nursery Notes

-
l#l celery after peelng onions the smell
80 will be entirely removed.
t4SGsgl When washing articles, the hannels
first, the calico and muslin garments
next, lastly towels, busters and rousher arti-
cles.
A cloth wrung out Of boiling water and placed
round mould containing Jelly will do much to
bring it out whole and without sticking.
Those who take cold easily after washing their
head should rub a little eau de cologne or other
spirit into the scalp after the hair is dried.
To keep fruit or seed cake moist place It
in an alright tin with a good sound apple, re-
newing the apple if it becomes in the least de-
cayed.
Those whose skin is inclined to be yellow
should never apply to it any lotion that con-
tains glycerine. Elderhower water, instead, will
best suit such compilations.
Hair brushes in daily use should be washed Of
least once a month. Put a little ammonia into
the water, and dip the brush-bristles only-into
this. Dry the brush in the open air.
| Cover grease spots on wood or stone with
-four, starch Or powdered chalk, which will ab
| sorb the grease. Cold water thrown On grease
as soon as it is spilled will harden it; the great
er part may then be scraped Of.
