is CREMATED
BY HER LOVER.
Italian Girl and Her Kin Burned
in a Thatched Hut.


Rome, Sept. 23.-The details OF a
love vendetta at Fondi, In the prov.
ince OF Csserta, have just been receiv-
ed here. The crime stands out as one
OF the most diabolical In the criminal
annals OF modern Italy, and beside 1t
even the barbaric excuses oithe mid
cages seem curlously mild and com.
monplace.
Driade Dancona, who was consid.
cred the pre!tiest among the maidens
of Fondi, had for couple Of years
been annoyed by the attentions Of a
shepherd, Vincenzo de Silvestro, aged
%, with whom her relatives induced
her to have nothing to do, as he was
a fellow Of bad repute, and had a.
ready served a few months in prison
for thieving. About q year ago, he
attacked the girl while on her way
home q. night. For this he was sen.
fenced 10 an imprisonment OF ten
months. The prosecution was
brought about by the girls family.
For this reason de Silvestro vowed
to kill her and to exterminate the
whole family. As precautionary
measure Driade bought q revolver
and practiced shooting, her tormen-
tor being meanwhile sale In prison.
On the expiration OF his sentence he
met the girl In the fields and demand
ed that she go away with him. He
threatened her, and she In turn drew
her revolver. Thereupon he fled.
A few days later, when the harvest
had begun, de Silvestro went forth
to matched hut, where the girl was
passing the night In company with
an aged aunt, her ID year-old cousin
and her little sister, aged IL. Hav-
ing fastened and blockaded the two
available exits OF the hut, he piled
straw against the wall, saturated It
with oil and set the mass on fire. In
this business he was aided by an ex-
criminalyouth named Belione. Both
guarded the exits with loaded guns
till the shrieks OF the victims were
stilled In death.
Itso happened that an elder cousin
OF Driade had scented mischief, and
had left the hut early In the evening
with the intention Of summoning
help from the village, without, how
ever, telling bis relatives OF bis fears.
As he passed q thicket he was fred
on and bis horse wounded. When he
returned an hour later the hut was q
heap Of smoldering ruins.
But the criminal exploits Of de
Silvestro did not stop here. Fearful
lest a farmer living a few hundred
yardsaway might have Witnessed his
work and denounce him and Bellone
to the police, de Silvestro and bis az.
ISOLATE saun.ered up to bis house and
called him to come out on an urgent
errand. The poor man. suspecting
nothing, came out In hisnight clothes
and was shot dead.
A large force Of police are on the
track Of the murderer, but 80 far
they have managed to avoid arrest,
for the country around CassRta
abounds in curious hiding places,
which served the brigands Of the dis
trict In the old days.

Diagram of the Hotbed.

hotbed. c is the true bottom, made
of wood, and distance about six inches
from the sheet iron bottom; D and 3
are small boxes, each big enough to
hold a one-wick oil stove. A two
wick oil stove will make the soil too
hot just above the flame Each box
is fitted with door in which are
bored few holes to admit air. The
dirt is placed on the sheet iron bot
tom to depth of six inches, the warm
air circulates between the wooden bot
tom and the sheet iron one, but no
fumes from the oil stove ever reach
the interior of the hotbed proper.
The woodwork at the under side of
the hotbed should not be too tight; a
few small cracks should be left, or
there will be no circulation of air for
the lamps, and they will smoke. I
once showed hotbeds made like this
to an Englishman, the private gard
ener to a rich man. This gardener
makes his hotbeds by the help of ma
nure. told him after got the hang
of my oil stove hotbeds never had a

ahead Of me, for with all my care my
manure beds are not always sue

them"

WHY HE WAS TIRED.
Return from the Annual Nonsense
Known as Vacation"

A man alighted from a train, and
after walking laboriously up the short
flight of stairs which led to the wait
ing-room, stopping few times on the
way to rest, he looked round for a
place to sit down. His wan, thin face,
heavy eyes, and general appearance of
weakness and detection attracted at
tention, and a kind old gentleman &C.
costed the stranger and asked If he
could be of any assistance
moo, thanks the young man
drawled out; 'I'll get along II take
my time about it."
"Are you ill?"
moo, I'm not i'll. But 1 feel as If
I were completely done up"
Been in an accident?'
Moo. I'm just tired; that's all.
Thanks; you may call hanson for

Cleveland.-If Uncle Sam wants a

ranted to withstand dynamiting and
stand without hitching, let him ap-
ply to Quincy Adams Washington.
Quincy Adams has just the right
thing in stock. The destroyer's name
is Grace. She is a mule and is emit
tied to take rank with Mrs. OLeary's
COW that started the Chicago fire,
the Matanzas mule orIthe cow that
stopped the chamber of commerce
train at Logahsport last spring.
Quincy Adams Washington is a ne
gro, an ash hauler by occupation,
philosopher by habit, and is not less
than Go years of age.
The other evening he attempted to
drive in front of an east-bound Payne
avenue car, and the car struck Grace
in the steering gear. The passengers
felt the shock, heard the mule shrek,
and rushed panicstricken to the doors
as the motorman put on the brakes
which failed to work at once. To the
horror of spectators on the sidewalk,
the mule was rolled along under the
fender for half block before the car
could be stopped. Grace, to all ap-
pearances, was lifeless.
A crowd of early evening pedes-
TRANS gathered around, while the mo-
torman, conductor and Quincy Adams
lacked the car up and backed it off
the mule
Dead, all right" said the motor
man, laconically.
Whoa now, sah Jess-jess wait"
said Quincy
"Oh, shut up" said the motor1nan
turning to him nervously. Go get
a policeman to shoot her. Maybe she
amt quite dead. She ought'er be,
though. We rolled her about a mile"
Quincy looked closely at the mule,
which lay limp on the tracks, then
whispered to the motorman:

wouldn't be a-startin' no funeral OBJ

where she lived. He escorted her

The girl said she had no recollection

that of whip grating. The usual plan,
says Orange Judd Farmer, is for a
man to set the buds with a boy fol-
lowing closely to do the tying.
The bud should be taken from wood
of the present seasons growth Since
the work of budding is done during
the season of active growth, the bud
sticks are prepared so that the petiole
or stem of each leaf is left attached
to serve as handle to aid in pushing
the bud home when inserting it be-
meath the bark of the stock. This
is what is usually called a shield bud.
1t is cut so that a small portion of
the woody tissue of the branch is re-
moved with the bud. The bud stick
and method of cutting is shown in
the accompanying figure by Prof Cor
bett.
The stock for budding should be at
least as thick as an ordinary lead
pencil. With apple and pear, a second
seasons growth will be necessary to
develop this size, while with peach, a
single season will suffice; hence
peach stocks can be budded the same
season the pits are planted. Conse.
Quently the peach is left until as late

TOMATO BLIGHT.
Is Fungus Growth That Begins Attack
in the Seed Bed.

Tomato blight is due to a fungus,
which attacks the plants for the most
part in the seed bed. This being the
case, there can be no remedy for the
plant after it is once attacked This
is true, for tie reason that the fungus
grows on the inside of the plants and
evidently enters only the rootlets of
young plants. By examining the tbs.
sues of young plant with a micro
scope, the threads of the fungus may
be seen clogging the cells where they
interfere with the passage of food ma
terial. At the present time, then, we
see no hope Of ever being able to com
bat this blight successfully in the field
But we do hope to find "a method of
prevention by improving the sanitary
condition of the seed beds. With this
end in view, we believe it will pay to
thoroughly clean and disinfect the
frames or flats in which the seeds are
planted. This may be done by wash
ing or spraying all of the parts after
the dirt and soil have been removed,
with strong solution of copper sui
should be procured, which should also
be sterilized. THIS can be best done by
steam. This may be done at small
cost by fitting up a small system of
two-inch iron pipes which are to be
placed in the bottom of bed made
for the purpose. Three ten or II foot
lengths of pipe will be ample, and
small holes must be drilled in them
about six inches apart to allow steam
to escape. The pipes are now placed
parallel to each other and connected
at both ends, so that they are about
Is inches apart. The apparatus
may be connected TO traction engine
or other available source OF steam sup
ply. Soil should be filled into the bed
over the pipes to the depth of about
one foot, then the surface covered with
gunny sacks or some similar material.
If steam is turned on for an hour, the
low organisms will be killed, and
plants which will be practically free
from blight should be raised in soil
which has been treated in this man

The Farmers Vegetable Garden.

The farmers vegetable garden is
growing in popularity with the farm
ers that wish their families to have
the greatest amount of comforts in
their farm life. A half acre devoted to
this work can be made a constant
source of pleasure, not only on account
of the vegetables it will produce but
also on account of the large amount
or information it will yield up relative
to what treatment of the soil will give
the best results. Such garden should
be very heavily MANFRED, so that 1t
will be always at its best for produc-
ing crops. We would put on manure
both fall and spring and see that the
manure gets into the SOIL Such gar
den If properly worked can but be
profitable and be constant source of
delight.

STRANGE ANTIQUITY OF EGYPT.
Country Has Remained Unchanged
Through Centuries.

Many tourists who have crossed
the Mediterranean to Alexandria and
have made the three hour journey
thence by express to Cairo, establish
themselves in one of the fashionable
hotels, do little shopping in the ma
tive quarter, see mosque or two, a
native wedding, ride a camel the quar-
to the sphinx, and perhaps go as far
as to visit Saqqara-a days excursion
from Cairo-then return homeward
fancying and also declaring that they
have seen Egypt.
So they have, in sense; but Cairo
is no more representative of Egypt as
country than New York is of the en-.
tire United States.
To see upper Egypt, with its fell
laheen life, it's mud cities, and it's
quaint scenery, is like turning the
leaves of an old history and studying
the engravings, for neither the coun-
try nor the people has changed to any
appreciable degree since the days of
Mohammed, unless it be in the &C.
complishment in which all seem to be
equally well trained-that of begging
>backsheesh. Egypt is spoken of as
becoming modernized, but there is no
Indication of anything more modern
than 1000 years ago between Cairo
and Luxor-or, more properly, the lit

Luxor, where an English company has

most OF the distance, is little better
than a trail fianked by thick forests.
The wolves circled about the wagon
and as they ran in and out of the I'M
derbrush the occupants of the vehicle
saw that the pack was a good-sized
one. Occasionally one animal bolder
than the rest would dash up behind
the wagon and try to leap into it. Fail
Ing, owing to the speed Of the horse,
the wolf would stop short and howl.
or else would stink of into the woods.
The horse ran madly until an open
stretch of country was gained. When
settlers cabin was reached at the
opposite side of the plain the wolves
disappeared. Had the trip been made
during the winter, when prey is not so
plentiful, IL is believed by PHO that

elevated on blocks of wood high
enough so that a person can get under
it to care for the lamps; it should be
sheltered from the winds, but not
near enough to any building to cause
