LOCK YOUTH IN A PIG STY
French Peasant Takes Unusual and
Revolving Method of Caring
for Idiot Son.

London.-From st. Nazaire comeA
news of an almost incredible atrocity
committed by a farmer in the neigh
borhood on the person of one of his
sons, who is now 2S years of age. The
unfortunate man is said to have been
put into an empty pig sty on Christ
mas day and kept there until this
present date in a state of the most
revolving filth. The meager fare al
lowed him was passed through an
aperture and he was bound and hand
cuffed all the time. Once a day the
wretched victim was taken out for an
hours exercise, being led, still man
acled, by rope, as if he were some
savage brute. 1t is added that when
the gendarmes visited the farmer he
related these miserable facts with an
air of the utmost unconcern, explain
ing that the unhappy wretch was idi-
otic and that as he required careful
supervision he had thought this the
simplest course to adopt The rest
of the family sat by and listened with
extraordinary Indifference, not appear
ing to realize the enormity of this
sequestration. The judicial authori-
ties at st. Nazaire are going to pay
a visit to the premises and in the
meanwhile sharp watch is being kept
on this extraordinary family.

GARBAGE To LIGHT TOWN.
Alcohol Made from 1t Will Be Used
as Fuel at Sioux City,
Iowa.

Sioux City, Ia.-At meeting OF the
city council recently a resolution was
carried requesting City Chemist w.
Lee Lewis to make an investigation
into the possibility of making dena-
tured alcohol from the garbage collect
ed in Sioux City, the alcohol to be used
as fuel to operate light engines in the
city buildings.
Alderman Maxiener subsequently de-
clared that with Chemist w. Lee
Lewis he took two buckets of garbage
from his bakery kitchen, and they
made quantity of alcohol, fully equal
and to all appearances as good alcohol
as was ever made from any kind of
wood" AS soon as inventions are
completed to make it possible to use
alcohol to run the light plant in the
city building and library building, the
city of Sioux City proposes to dispose
of the garbage of the entire city by
converting it into fuel fluid.
The potato peelings and biscuits,
chicken bones and apple cores, old
rags and cherry seeds, will all be
boiled up together and converted into
power for thousands of electric lights.
Mr.. Lewis, who is professor of chem
istry in Morningside college labora-
tory, said regarding the plan: 81 am
sure it is practical. Garbage, when
properly treated, makes the best kind
of wood alcohol. 1 believe the garbage
of Sioux City would run the municipal
plants and the plant necessary to
make the alcohol. 1t is certainly an
economical proposition, rivaling the
idea of Victor Hugo that France loses
$5O,00O,000 every year by allowing the
sewage to drain into the ocean when
it should be put in the Vineyards.
Il shall prepare the plans for the
Sioux City plant, and we will be, in all
probability, the first city in the United
States to have such a plant"

CATS ABLE TO STOP TRAINS
Engineers Say Eyes of Feline Family
Are Like Signal Lamps
at Night.

Brookfield, Mo.-"Did you ever see
a black cats eyes when they were in
the line of an electric light?" asked
Ben Woodlief, travelling engineer for
the Missouri division of the Burling-
ton road. "If one steps on the rail-
road track ahead of the engine and
looks up the engineer sees two vivid
lights ahead of him as large and
clearly defined as any signal service
lights ON the road. Sometimes they
are red, but most generally green or
white. In the night time, of course,
the engineer can't see the cat, and
all he can do is to run in obedience
to the cat-eye signals. If they are
white he goes ahead, without slack
ing; If green he is cautious: if red
he applies the air to make a stop.
Sometimes a train is brought to
dead halt before the engineer learns
what's up against him. The running
men tell me that the eyes of polecat's
and rabbits are almost as perfect sig
nails as cats eyes. No, there's been
no talk of training cats to act as sig
nalmen. Engineers would stand for
it, because they hate cats on general
principles, and if they had their way
would be happy to lay the universal
feline on the rails in front of their
locomotives and crowd on all steam"

Notes on the Fashions

intention of the toilet, the ensemble
restful-refreshing after so much fuss
and medallion throwing.
Light colored shoes, light colored
paknsols, delicate summer headwear,
all make the dog days as endurable as
possible, give holiday suggestion and
appearance of coolness very grateful
on the city streets. Brown shoes are
now permissible with costumes in
general-and once they were consid-
cred very bad form, indeed, save with
the outing dress. The touch of brown
is still the mark of fashion, as well
as is the touch of black.
Brown wells are in favor, but we can
not say they appear to us thing of
beauty or that they are as a rule be-
coming. They but give illustration of
the sheep-like habit of many women
for following a leader.
About this time of summer new mil
linery always pushes itself forward to
tempt weak femininity to the extrava-
gance of a not-needed new hat. This
year the new takes the form of big
crowned hats with brims too of gem
erous size. One noticed this morn
ing was certainly of a queerness, but
If truth be told becoming to its pink
checked, youthful wearer. 1t was
cream colored straw and with a
crown of decided girth and height,
the whole somewhat of a sailor shape.
Massed against the towering crown,
climbing up in front and reaching over
on top, was quantity of green leaves
and numbers of large pink roses. I'm
der the brim at the back were clustered
loops of pink ribbon. The hat stood
out from all other hats in its neighbor-
hood, not alone because of its extreme
mode but because flowers and foliage
were so fresh and green. (And really
most of the spring millinery by now
is shabby and faded enough to warrant
that new hat.)
Sucl; a charming costume showed be-
fore our delighted eyes the other even
ing as we strolled down the avenue,
vision in pink, the girl equal to her
dressing. She was tall and Junoesque,
her complexion fresh as the oft com
pared peach. Her shoon were pink,
her frock lovely pink batiste. on her
Gainsborough hat were wreathed
feathers of various delectable pinks.

PENNY POSTAGE COST HIGH
British Postmaster General Saws
Change Means 100000 Extra
Outlay Yearly.

London.-"There is no nation with
which we would rather see the facil-
tiles of communication extended than
with the great republic on the other
side of the Atlantic" said Chancellor
of the Exchequer Asquith to deputa-
.ion of members of parliament who
called on him and on Postmaster Gen.
eral Sydney Buxton relative to the
proposition to establish an Anglo
American two-cent postage rate.
Mr. Asquith added frankly that he
had no money to give for the purpose
and that there was no evidence that
the United States government was de-
sirous of making the proposed change.
Mr.. Buxton remarked that it was
entirely question of money, SO far as
he was concerned. 1t would cost $780,.
900 yearly to make tho change.

We have simple, handmade French
underwear and elaborate imported
muslins. On the latter ribbon is used
more and more, the frivolous petticoats
now showing two rows each with bows
and ends This ribbon should be of a
washable sort, it such bother al
ways to be threading ribbons in and
out of beading.
Drawers are fuller than ever, the
rufile as frilly as it can be made.
Night gowns are dressier than ever,
look quite like day gowns and at
pinch serve very well for holiday neg
ligee. The Princess petticoat is meet
ing with no small favor, essential with
the lingerie Princess dresses so much
depending on the proper fit of the un-

and of lightest weight these days, and
one sees some very pretty black-dotted
white stockings worn with white and
with gray shoes. The light hosiery
looks cool and is cooler than black,
has much to recommend it.
Perhaps the most noticeable thing
in neckwear, that is anything that may
be called feature of 1906 styles in
dress, is the narrow turn-down collar.
1t may be worn simply with brooch,
