VICTIM
Of ASSASS|NS

PORTLAND. Jan. THE body of Dr.
Philip Edwards Johnson, physician of
New York, was found today under the
Jefferson street bridge. An examina-
ton Of the body revealed the fact that

body cast over the bridge. His watch
had been unfastened from it's fob and
removed. No other valuables were
found.
The body was horribly mangled and
only identified by cards in the pocket

Another Nature FAKE.

In 1884, says Henry E. Warner |
met Mr.. Joseph Mulhatton, journal
ist of wide repute, and went with him
to South Africa, where We studied the
habits of Beers and other wild ami
mails for two years. Anong other
things, we took with us a pocket
piano, on which Mr.. Mutation used
to make beautiful music, to the great
distress of our dog, which howled
solos at every performance. We cap
tured a monkey, an anthropoidean
quadrumanous mammal with nrehis-
toric feet and a long tail, we'll known
to the natives We trained him to
wait on the table and perform ether
domestic services. One day Mr. Null
hatton got out his piano and Was
about to play "Give My Regards TO
Broadway" which had not then been
written, when the monkey stepped up,
gravely pushed him aside, and picked
the tune out himself with both hands,
both feet, and his nose. He played
many times for us, but always labored
under the disadvantages of not being
able to stretch an octave.-N. Y. Sun.

The Sun0nD@r Shoe
Women Should Remember That 1t
Ought to Be Larger Than
That for Winter.

Some women who ordinarily have
no trouble with their feet suffer
great deal at this season of the year
from chatting. While certain RENE
dies, such as alum water, salt water
or cut lemons, afford temporary re-
lief, it is wiser to obviate the cause,
which is due to the rubbing of shoes
or stockings, sometimes both.
Lisle-thread hosiery is sometimes
not comfortable, as the thread is rath-
er tightly twisted, so that there is no
"give," as in the cotton or silk. The
stockings may give trouble if they are
too large, as the wrinkles will chafe
the feet.
However, the main source OF
trouble is apt to be the shoes; they
NAV be small, and so draw, or the
trouble may be with the leather
Chemicals are used to tan the leath-
er. and sometimes these chemicals al
feet the feet, If they have not been
properly evaporated and worn out
Another common cause is tightness.
It is the weakness of many women
to show a small foot with a close
fitting shoe. With this end in view
many people have their shoes made
really too tight. If the leather be
stiff. the wearer will feel the pinch
somewhere, and will probably not buy
that size of shoes. If the leather is
soft. however, no immediate pain is
felt. and the boots are not thought of
as tight.
It is especially important in sum-
mer that the foot shall have as much
room as possible without slipping
Heat alone is apt to make the foot
swell and so it is wise to have shoes
for this season half a size larger than
those for winter wear.
In fitting a pair of shoes do not
slip on the shoe and then hold it up
to see if it fits. Stand up and rest the
weight on the foot as in walking, and
the foot assumes a different shape.
When there is a tenderness and
swelling, battle the feet in warm salt
water-sea salt, if possible-and rub
gently until they glow. In the morn
ing repeat the bath and rubbing, then
dust on to the feet some foot ease or
foot powder. This will cure any sore
ness and tends to prevent us recur-
renee by hardening the cut1cle.

RAISING TURKEYS.
How One Successful PouItryman Han.
dies His Flock.

In regard to raising turkeys, will
say that at first we feed them stale
bread and milk, not sloppy, and corn
meal wet with milk, SO it will stick to-
gether. After they get a few days old
we let them run in the lucern to get
bugs and grasshoppers, but do not let
them stay out too long at a time, as
the little ones get thirsty. When they
come in we have plenty of feed and
water for them, says writer in Rocky
Mountain Farming. After they get a
few weeks old we feed them cracked
or whole wheat, and as soon as the
grain is cut we never feed them until
the stubble is cleaned up We drive
them out twice day and let them fill
up and the more grasshOppers they
can get the better. We had lots of
grasshoppers here last fall. | think
they are the finest thing there is for
turkeys. But above all, we must give
them good care and not let the chick
ems rob them of their feed. Another
thing that is good for them is to cut
up green lucern with pair of shears
and feed it to them; they will eat lots
of it. This is as near as can tell you
how we handled our turkeys last year.

BUILD RIGHT WHEN BUILDING.
The Well-Constructed Poultry House
Is the Only One That Pays.

1t costs little more to build a poul.
try house right than it does to build
it in such a slipshod way that it will
be forever afterwards unsatisfactory.
Some of our more progressive poultry
men have taken great pains in the
construction of their poultry houses
and are now in possession of poultry
establishments that are a credit to
themselves and an Improvement to
the farms on which they exist. We
have before us at the present moment
a picture of the poultry house owned
by one of our prosperous farmers, says
Farmers Review.
The poultry house in question is of
one story and built with an ordinary
roof. This gives the best effect ar
tistically. The windows on the south
side are about five feet from top to
bottom and they reach down nearly to
the level of the floor. This insures a
large amount of sunshine to dry up
the moisture that accumulates in the
dried up.
The yards are of wire stretched on
whitewashed posts. At the bottom of
the fence is a series of boards running
around the entire yard. This keeps
the hens from burrowing under the
wire. About the only suggestion we
could make to improve this would be
to paint the posts and fence a sea-
green to do away with the white of
the posts. White posts are very obvi-
Gus and become dirty easily.
The above house is divided into diff
ferent compartments and from each
compartment door opens into the
yard. There are as many yards as
there are compartments, and this
makes it easy to keep the fiocks sep
arated
A picture Of the interior shows that
the various apartments are separated
by wire netting. This is always adj
visable as wire netting is very sani-
tary. 1t can be sprayed with water
or anything else. 1t permits the pas
sage of the air and the sunlight and
keeps out the darkness, which is al
ways bad thing to exist in too great
quantities in a poultry house. 1t is
not only cover to dirt, but protec-
ton to the lice and mites and disease
germs. Direct sunlight is destroyer
of germs.
There shOAld be more well-con-
structed poultry houses on our farms.
They should be so built that they will
last iOdnfnita1V and ba ALWAYS S0rV-

HENoLoGY.

Give the fowls the run OF the or
chard; both will be benefited thereby.
The brooder must be carefully ven
tilated SO that the chicks will have
fresh air, but will not have to be ex-
posed to drafts.
Chickens usually sell for more per
mound than hogs, and it is an estab-
ished fact that pound of chicken
meat is made at lover cost than a
pound of pork.
The handling of an incubator is not
a difficult matter, but one cannot do it
by instinct. The directions that go
with each incubator should be care
fully followed.
Don't forget that chicks = though
small-require certain amount of
grit. A run in clean, dry sand for a
few days has been found beneficial
before first feeding.
The first essential in the production
of eggs is the health of the hens. You
can never have flock CT record
breaking egg-producers il any OF
them are unhealthy.

Indian Princes Jewels.

When the steamship Arabia arrived
at Tilbury, England, recently, four
cases of undistinguished appearance
were handed over to four men en-
ployed by tourist agents. Each man
guarded his case with particular care,
never releasing his hold upon 1t dur
ing the train journey to town.
On arrival at Liverpool Street sta
ton the four men, each hugging his
charge, entered a van, sat on their
cases, and were driven to Ludgate cir
Gus, where the cases were Immediate
ly consigned to the safes.
The mysterious boxes contained the
hereditary jewels of the Maharajah of
Bikaneer, who arrived in London a
short time ago. The jewels, which
are valued at about e25,000, were
guarded in India by an armed escort.

inexpensive Lace BIouses.

It may not be necessary to hint to
the ingenious woman that quite mex
pensive lace blouses can be made
most modishly to connect with a
cloth skirt, thereby achieving a cos
tune, by making a design OF narrow
stitched cloth bands and arranging
them tastefully on the bodice? Such
a suggestion offers endless chance for
original ornamentation. The girdle
should be of cloth, too, and the bands
arranged with extreme exactness, per-
haps extending up from the girdle to
the bust and there forming circular
lines with pointed ends touched with
tiny buttons. Small cloth buttons
could be used to dot the lace, and a
pair of tiny bands of cloth could tip
the choker

Missouri Mystery Cleared Up.

Thousands of hogs in southeast
Missouri are fattening on a crop that
was planted IL years ago-a crop of
17-year locusts.
Since early spring the hogs of the
farmers in this section have been get
ting fat on something they found in
the woods, and each farmer secretly
wondered whose corn crib his pigs
had found, for they came home each
night not squealing for their food, but
only to sleep; and every day they
brought home layer of bacon and
lard added to their once lean and
hungry bodies.
The "rail splitters" of South Mis-
souri, and Arkansas were fast being
