Remarkable incident That Disturbed
Solemnity of Funeral.

!. stead OF the accustomed quiet
which prevails at the burial OF the
dead, great excitement and fear at
tended the burial the other day of
Michael Serene, a prominent merchant
OF Westport. when by the collapsing
OF a grave the coffin and several per.
sons attending the services were
hurled into a small pit.
The final prayer had been said by
the preacher, and the assistant to the
undertaken stepped to the foot OF the
colin TO arrange the rope for letting
the coffin into the grave. At that mo.
ment one OF the pallbearers acct
dentally kicked out the crosspiece
that supported the coffin. The coffin
quickly descended into the grave, the
body going feet first. The assistant
fastened its descent by tumbling on
II. Several persons rushed to the
edge of the grave, causing the soil to
yield, and In a few seconds five per
sons were lying in the pit half covered
with dirt.
They were pulled out, the coffin was
dug out and laid fiat, and after the
grave had been redug the burial was

FEEDING AT A PROFIT.
How II Was Done at Washington State
Agricultural College.

Feeding OF beef steers on corn fod-
south OF Spokane. Wash, has been full
ly demonstrated by the Washington
state college experiment farm at Pull
man, which sold is steers fed as an
experiment. These steers were
bought at random throughout the Pa
louise country at SIS to $50 a head.
They were cut into three lots and fed
under slightly different methods. The
total cost of II steers was $500 and
the were fed eight tons OF oat hay
worth $3.50 a ton, 1855 pounds OF
fodder corn at $3.50 ton; two and a
quarter tons OF wheat at $3.50 ton;
making the total cost of the steers
and the feed s659.55. They were sold
for sSl1.75, leaving a net profit of
sl51.20.
The steers were fed two months, all
boing fed alike for the first month.
during which time they we're given
three pounds of wheat daily. After
the first month lots OF two and three
were fed six pounds of wheat daily.
while lot No. l continued at three
pounds each. During the mona in
which the two lots were fed six
pounds each daily, lot two gained 400
pounds, while lot three gained 455
pounds. Lot No. l only gained 270
pounds during this period. The net
cash gain per head of lot No. over
lot No ! in this period was SO so, with
but three pounds more of wheat daily.
This Is an increase Of more than ten
cents day, or ten cents for three
pounds of wheat. which is at the rate
Of s. a bushel for wheat fed TO steers

Getting Pure Milk

The recent health board agitation has prompted some of the dairymen who do business in Montclair to go to great lengths to impress their customers with the purity of their product.
 Every COW in the herd is declared to be washed and grOomed and rubbed off with a clothes brush just before milk. ing. Then a man comes along with pails of water and cloths and washes the udders of each COW carefully. This operation is repeated by two other men, the third carefully drying the cows. These men, it is declared, are in charge of graduated baeteriologist.
 The men who ri,; the cows are clad in snow white uniforms and before per. forming their tasks must have their nails manicured, They must also pass the inspection of the bacteriologist be- fore they are permitted to milk the cows
 One dealer, who has not made any claims as yet, says the feet of his cows are to be manicured and the stables are to be perfumed-Montclair (N. J) dis patch to the New York Times.

AN ATTRACTIVE PLACE
 FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE

In local Lilliputian life the most at tractive assemblage in the city yester- day was Thanksgiving Day in Doll town as shown in the large display window at G. s. Van Wagenen s store next to the postofice. The window dis plays the whole Doll family in festal day reunion at the palatial home of the Dolls, interior views being shown--a kitchen, dining room and bedroom. The kitchen is completely furnished, with n handsome malleable range, such as J. P. McNeil is advertising and and is pictured in his regular space in this issue, and is just such stove as mann ma uses. Then there is the little kitch- en table, the old-fashioned cupboard and a side glimpse into the laundry, with its little washtub and board, patent washer, clothes dryer, etc. But the dining room is life-like and the real attraction of the scene. The Dolls are assembled around a gorgeously spread table of the New England Thanksgiving type. Everything is there from the turkey and cranberry sauce, the pump kin pie and plum pudding, down to the lobster salad, peas, asparagus and what not? And the Dolls are delighted with the viands, just as the little real dolls were yesterday at the many Globe homes. Another pretty room is the bed chamber, with it's Creole bad of canopy top, snow linen, soft pillows and ex- quisite skirt decorations of fine lace. 1 And in it is the eutest little dresser and a dressing table where Miss Doll makes her toilet just as her little mann ma does 1t is a scene that holds the attention of every passing child, as well as adults, and very forcefully dem- onstrates the enterprise of Mir Van Wagenen and his corps of assistants.

Novel Method of Punishment

The school district of East Litchfield is aroused because of the discovery that one of the country school teachers has abandoned the old methods of chastise- ment and has been compelling disobedi- ent pupils to eat herbs, wild turnip, boneset and wOrmwoOd.
 The teacher is a spare-the-rod advo- cate, and her method, she says, was to stop the boys plugging the chimney, re. leasing mice and hardshell crickets, and throwing pepper on the stove.
 First she had three recesses day in- stead of two and worked other innova- tions to cement friendship. This fail ing to take the children s attention from mischief, she tried the new one, and now the parents are angry.-Water- bury dispatch to the New York Times.
