evening was, Literary Suggestion" and
the paper on the subject was read by Mr..

series of cleverly collected comparisons
he showed how suggestion rather than
plagiarism, caused the frequent similarity
in ideas of various authors. There was
also discussion as to the element of time

logical element is the determining factor

Fitzgerald, at the climax of which the
prosecuting officer refused point blank
to cite to the court the authorities upon
which he was predicating an argument.
At one time Mr.. Jerome asked DR..
Wagner if he could tell what form of
insanity the defendant is suffering
from today.
'I've not examined him since last
October" replied DR.. Wagner, land
you cannot, Mr.. District Attorney,

that the defendants present state of

question of Thaw's sanity or insanity

BOX Stall Advantages.

Whenever practicable partitions be-
tween stalls should be removed, thus
converting them into box stalls. Many
a good horse has been seriously or
even fatally injured by being cast in
the STALL For this reason hangers
should be raised to such height that
the horse cannot be least under the
manger,v or, better still, the manger
should be on the floor. The horse nat
urally gathers its food from the ground.
In box stall natural inclinations can
be partially initiated to advantage,
whereas the old fashioned, narrow stall
precludes such a sensible arrangement.

MORGAN AT WHITE HOUSE.
Arranges Conference Between Roose-

welt and Railroad Presidents.
Washington, March 12.-J. Pierpont
Morgan, the New York financler, came
to Washington in his private car and
went Immediately to the White House,
where he was in conference with Pres
ident Roosevelt for more than two
hours. The object of Mr.. Morgan's
visit was to urge the president to take
some action to ''allay the public ankle
ty now threatening to obstruct railroad
investments and construction"
At Mr.. Morgan's earnest request
President Roosevelt has agreed to have
a conference with four leading rail-
road presidents Messrs. McCrea Of the
Pennsylvania, Newman Of the New
York Central, Mellen of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford and Hughitt
of the Chicago and Northwestern to
see whether some agreement can be
reached as to the relations between
the railroads and the administration.
1t is probable that g. III. Hartman,
head of the Hartman lines, may also
participate in the conference, which il
is understood will take place at the
White House some time this week.

The Stable Doors and Windows.

Small windows in horse stables
should be replaced by large ones, and
these should be kept open or partially
so night and day at all seasons, at
least sufficiently to insure good yentila-
ton.
Doors should be sufficiently wide and
high to enable large horses to enter
without danger of injuring the hip
bones or the poll. Down at the hip"
or the bone of one hip fractured, is not
an uncommon consequence Of too mar
row doors, while many accidents occur
from doors that are too low.

Second Russian Parliament Expected
to Meet First Ones Fate.
st. Petersburg, March 12.-It is not
believed that the second douma, which
was formally opened in the Tauride
palace, will have a longer life than
did its predecessor, which was dissolv-
ed by the car when it became ap-
parent that it was determined to re-
gard itself as the governing power of
the empire.
Several consultations have been held
by the leaders of the opposition to see
whether some sort of compromise with
the government was possible, but after
full consideration it was announced by
Professor Milukoff that no arrange
ment could be made SO long as M.
Stolypin remained at the head of the
cabinet.
After the adjournment of the first
session of the douma a monster dem
onstration was organized to cheer
the Socialist deputies. Revolutionary
speeches were made, and red flags
were displayed in the crowds, which
had by that time swelled to about
10000 persons, who packed all the
streets for blocks around the palace.
Feodor Goloyin, president of the Mos
COW zemstvo and Constitutional Dem
ocratic member of the douma from
Moscow, who was elected president of
the douma, received 331 votes as
against 81 for NJ Khomiako, Conserya-

Poultry Feeding.

Rice is almost valueless as a poul-
try food and should never be so en-
ployed. Buckwheat is very much rel
ished by poultry. The color and shape
of the kernels are strange to them at
first, but once they know what they
are they will leave other grain for it..
Being deficient of flesh forming sub
stances, it should only be used at in
tervals as a change. Potatoes should
only be used when they are the refuse
from the table and never alone, but
mixed with some kind of meal, such
as middlings.-A. V. Meersch in West
ern Poultry Journal.

Dairy Notes.

Excitement not only checks the flow
of milk in COW, but reduces the per-
centage of fat in the milk.
Feeding too much is bad, and feed
ing too little is bad. Never feed more
than the animal will eat up clean.
An extra yield of butter will natu-
rally follow the use of richer feed if
the COW has been well selected, but a
similar result may not follow in the
case of an ordinary COW.

President Roosevelt Hats States Anti
Japanese Legislation.
Sacramento CAL, March 12.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has stopped all Japa-
nese legislation in the California legis-
lature by the following telegram to
Governor Gillette, who sent it to the
assembly:
"Action of legislature reported liz
this mornings papers most unfortu-
exclusion of Japanese laborers by
friendly agreement and if continued
will probably render recent legislation
of congress for that purpose ineffec-
tive. Please secure suspension of fur
Their action until receipt Of letter from
me-"
The assembly intended to act at
once on two bills and a resolution
adopted by the senate on Saturday
Governor Gillette sent with the tele-
gram a message urging the house to
comply with the presidents request.
The assembly by viva voce vote de-
cided to take no action on the bills on
file.
The action of the legislature to which
President Roosevelt objects was the
unanimous adoption Saturday of
joint resolution protesting against the
naturalization of Japanese.
The first of these bills limits the age
of admittance of all children in pri-
mary schools to ten years except with
the consent of the superintendent of
schools, boards of education and
boards of trustees, who may grant
older children the privilege of entering
the primary grades for the first time.
The other bill provides for the ex-
preston of the will and sentiment of
the voters of California at the next
election on the question of Asiatic i'm
migration.

Mulberries In Orchards.

One of the characteristics claimed for
the mulberry is that the fruit ripens
over period Of several months. The
tree is a rapid grower, and the abun-
dance of fruit produced makes it spe-
cially useful for planting around sta
bles and chicken and stockyards, AS
the fruit is greatly relished by birds, a
few mulberry trees planted in the or
chard serve as a protection to other
more valuable fruits.-American Guilt
