lover who attempted to embrace her,
when the point of the needle caught

it and the pericardium. Hemorrhage
resulted, causing death.

Denatured Alcohol from Corn Cobs.

It has been discovered, by the ex-
pertinent station of the Agricultural
College of Iowa, at Ames, that alcohol
to supply the demand for the ar
ticle that will spring into life soon as
the law taking off the internal revenue
tax is effective, may be made from
simply green corn cobs, at cost not to
exceed three cents q gallon, rendering
it possible to place the new product
on the market at less than eighteen
or twenty cents . gallon, at which
price it will be, for all commercial pur-
poses, much cheaper than kerosene oil
or its by.products, at the average rate
of % cents. The margin between the
three cents, cost of corn cob alcohol,
and 20 cents, its maximum cost de.
natured, as it will be observed is very
vide, aud more than ample to cover
the cost OF materials ueed in denatur.
ing, and liberal profit to distiller and
for distribution by wholesaler and re.
taller, as we'll as costs of trapsporta-
ton, all possible factors in making it
accessible to the general public. But
the chief advantage is to be derived
from the greater efficiency of alcohol
as an illuminant, as q motive power,
and in almost if not quite all the
branches OF demand it will supplant.
A lamp is made in Germany which
produces a very strong and steady
flame, OF equal candle.power of kero.
sene, from q gallon OF alcohol, that
burns twice q long as from q gallon OF
coal oil, which, at the same price per
gallon would be fifty per cent. in favor
of the latter. The cost OF alcohol
abroad 10, however, higher than here.
II 10 made in Germany from potatoes
principally, at a cost of q TO 20 cents;
from beets in France, at from 30 to 80
cents; from grains in Italy, costing
from 30 to So cents, and from molasses
in Cuba, at 20 cents. Still the super.
iority of alcohol goes fer to equalize
relative cost, with . margin for alco.
hol. The higher (average) price OF
potatoes in this country would proba.
bly, eliminate that product from com.
petition a. an economic factor, but as
corn.cobs cost practically nothing, the
process Of conversion of each ton of
raw material into eleven gallons of
alcohol, solves the problem for the fu-
ture. The cobs are simply deposited
in mill by q conveyor, where they are
reduced to pulp, which is mixed with
water, brought to boil; yeast is added
and the mass allowed to ferment, and
after that the usual process of distilla-
ton follows.
So many of the Western States are
we'll adapted for raising corn that it
seems probable this new industry will
be practically absorbed as leading
resource Of our whole country.

THE Czarina OF Russia is said TO
spend $1,000 a year for soaps, toilet

cologne day in her bath water. This
custom of a leading lady of q great

impression that the best perfume is so
delicate that it leaves the mind in
doubt OF its presence. In this coun-
try, among refined people, perfumes
are used sparingly, and TO appear with
q redolence of scent that suggests a
hay.mow, q rose.bush or q bed of
pinks, is considered in bad taste, if not
decidedly vulgar. Nothing is more

than the fresh air OF heaven, undefiled

A Women's Corporation.

A business corporation composed
entirely OF women, has been formed at
Los Angeles, Cal, under the corporate
name Of the Land, Sand and Sea Co.
The name itself is suggestive of smpli.
tude, and its management under a
board OF five directors is as apparently
circumscribed, and the determination
expressed to employ no men in any
capacity. The capital is placed at
100000, and the objects expressed
are to deal in real estate, build towns,
establish colonies, deal in merchandise
and products of the soil, open up
mills and refineries, acquire water and
electric power rights, generate gas and
steam, buy and operate steamboats,,
wharves, mines, elevators and ware.
houses, explore for and develop oil
wells, build thesters and public halls
hotels and lodging houses, publish
newspapers and magazines, deal in
stocks and bonds, borrow and lend
money, and many other enterprises
expressed and implied.
II seems, however, that the enum
Grated objects are enough to fill the
limit OF authorized stock, especial 8
men are ignored and only $3.50 OF -.
ital has as yet been subscribed. II
may be we'll in life's ambitions to ain
high, but care should be taken that il
does not result in Overlooking the
mark. That women may be able te
successfully manage large enterprises
has been shown by Mrs. Frank Leslie
Hetty Green, and others, whom force
of circumstances have placed in prom
ineut posisions requiring energy, force
and business acumen to successfully
prosecute.
The exclusion, however, of thu
sterner sex we think will constitute 9
weakness. There are some qualities
possessed by men, as a class, that ar
just as notably wanting with the fairel
portion of humanity-notably tina,
decision and courage, required at time
to weather impending storms OF finan
cisl disaster. The corporation has
however, the best wishes OF all fair
minded people, who recognize the God
given privilege for all to possess equa
opportunity to engage in the almos
inevitable srduous struggle of life.

Your Nerve

1t is nerve energy that runs
the organs of your body. The
storage battery is the nerve
cells in the brain and spinal
cord, and from this battery
nerve force is sent out through
the system of nerves. To keep
the body healthy you must
have plenty of nerve force; if
you have not, the organs work
impcrfectly, the circulation is
sluggish, digestion bad, appe-
tite poor, kidneys inactive. and
aches, pains and misery are
the penalty.
You can keep the system
strong with DR.. Miles Nervine.
1t assists in generating nerve
energy; it strengthens the
nerves and makes the whole
system strong and vigorous.
