Makes Father Paralytlc

Mrs. Brownsell stated yesterday that
his last performance Of that kind oc-
Cured not many days ago, when he
locked himself UP in his room for a
period of three hours, during which she
attempted to batter down the door to
get to him before he finally reappeared
and laughed at her.
She testified that some years ago
her husband beat his father in such
a terrible manner that the old man
was a paralytic until his death. At
that time and on several other occa-
sions he had been committed to vari-
Gus insane asylums and had always
been paroled later as cured.
Brownsell admitted that he practiced
peculiar tricks upon his wife, but
stoutly maintained that he loved her
and was willing that she have every
cent of the property left him by his
father amounting to about $15,00O
When told that he would probably
laughed and remarked that he had
been in insane asylums for so much of
his time that he had become used to
the ways and fare of such places and
that it would be novelty to go to
Highland for a while and compare the
difference between the eastern and
western methods Of conducting such
institutions.
The peculiar part of Brownsell's in
sanity is that it appears only at GER
| tain periods after he has been on some
mental strain. Yesterday he was per-
fectly rational and when he was told
to sit back by the guards while the
court decided his case his wife ac-
companied him and sat by his side.
Brownsell took the baby from her
arms, youngster not more than eight
months old, and played and talked to
the child as any father might do while
his guards stood by in horror that the
baby should have been so readily en-
trusted to the insane mans care.
He bade his wife an affectionate
farewell and kissed his baby before ac-
companying the officers from the court
| room.

CAUSES WIFE
MENTAL AGONY
MAKES HER BELIEVE HEI
DRINKS POISON
Man Laughs When Committed to Inc
sane Asylum and Says He Is
Accustomed to Such
Treatment

Carrying her baby daughter in her
arms and fearful even in the presence
of the court officers of what her hus-
band might do to her, Mrs. Frederick
c. Brownsell 1854 East Twenty eighth
street, yesterday appeared before the
insanity commission in department
two of the superior court and gave tes-
timony which sent her husband to the
insane asylum.
According to the testimony of Mrs.
Brownsell, her husband in his fits of
insanity practiced the most horrible
cruelties upon her of mental rather
than physical character.
His most pleasant pastime to scare
his wife into fits of hysteria was to
show her a bottle of poison and then
go into a room and lock the door. Then
while she waited on the outside in mem
tai agony he would moan and bump
about on the floor as though dying
from the effects of the drug. At the
end of an hour or more he would
calmly unlock the door and tell his
fainting wife that he guessed the poi
son wasn't much good, since 1t had
failed to kill him.

SHAPING HAT BRMS.
Skill and Experience Required For
the Style of Silk Hats.

The nail on his right forefinger
was long, yellow, horny and the fin
gertip had so thickened and hard
ened that it seemed to be covered
with pale leather.
He was a silk hat maker, and 1t
was from curling hat brims that his
finger had changed so strangely. De-
scribing the processes of a silk hats
manufacture, he said:
"The belief that cardboard forms
a silk hats foundation Is an error.
The hat is first built up of various
thicknesses of linen-layers of linen
soaked In shellac that, by means of
wooden moulds and hot irons weigh
ing twenty pounds apiece are welded
one on the other, till a perfect
shape, brim and all complete, is OBJ
tanned.
"The silk Is next put on. This silk
costs from $40 to SIS yard. It
looks like plush in the piece. The
hatmaker cuts it ON the bias and
moulds it round the stiff linen foun-
dation. The strips must be very ac.
curately cut, and great care is need
ed In their ironing and cementing SO
as to give a perfect diagonal joint.
Look at your silk hats seam the
next time you wear 1t. The joints

"The brim, up to this point, is fat
Now its curling commences. This is
where my queer forefinger comes in.
The shaping of hat brim is purely
a matter of hand and eye and taste.
The brim, while being shaped, is
highly heated so as to give 1t plia-
bility.
"And, of course, working on this
hot material, patting and prodding
it, the forefinger thickens and the
nail gets horny.
Nevertheless, hat curling is pleas
ant, artistic work. Hat curriers' have
regulations the same as artists. Their
work is distinctive. An expert can

py.Products Of Nlassaehusetts Farms.

New England farmers have found
that they can add somewhat to their
incomes by the harvesting of rather
unusual crops. In Western Massa-
chusetts each fall the farmers, who
clear their land of brush, supply the
local mills with hundreds of tons Of
witch-hazel branches, from which,
in the district about Chester, Mass,
900 barrels of extract were produced
last year, The price paid the farm
ers is from 81 to SO a ton. Black
birch BRUSH is gathered for distil-
ling a valuable substitute for oil of
wintergreen. For this brush, which
the farmers formerly burned in
clearing their land, they are now
paid $3.50 ton. Last season 1858
tons were used. from which nearly
5000 pounds of oil were obtained.
Only experts, IL Is said, can distin-
guish this product from the genuine
oil of wintergreen. and It is In great
demand by druggists and confection-
ers. the local manufacturers obtain
ing 1t for 81 a pound wholesale. IL
lis used In rheumatic medicines and
as fiavoring extract for birch beer.
Medicinal oil is distilled from sweet
fern, which grows in great abund-
ance on the rocky hillsides OF West
ern Massachusetts,. Its properties
are said to be similar to those OF
witch-hazel. while its odor is more
pleasant.--~Leslie's Weekly.
