The other day the passengers on a
Chicago suburban train were alarmed
at the strange actions of man on the
train who seemed to be suffering great
pain. Tears were trucking down his
cheeks and occasionally he swore
gently in Scandinavian. When the
passengers questioned him, the tears
tr1ckled down more freely and he gave
a sign that he did not understand
English. Finally he took out bottle

was kept two DAYS in jail before one

the acid to allay the pain. This is an.

COROT'S RUSTIC HABITS.

How the Artist Came to Live the Life
of u Peasant.
Corot's father was little, dry, thin
old man, whose correct appearance,
precise gestures and short speech were
In singular contrast to the geniality
and jovial ways of Camille. He was
the typical business man. He wished
his son to go into business and appren-
ticed him to a Wholesale cloth mer-
chant. Camille, who dreamed only Of
painting, conceived a violent aversion
to commerce and seized every oppor-
tunity to escape from the shop and go
up to his room to copy drawings. His
employer was very dissatisfied with
him and complained to his father, who
reprimanded him severely. At last one
day the young man did not go to busi-
ness and told his father that he must
| follow his vocation, even if it brought
him misery. Seeing that nothing could
alter this decision. Every WE'LL" the
| father answered. Il will give you 200
francs annually-not a centime more
and you will make the best you can
of it,
Camille leaped for joy. He imme-
diately made preparations for depar-
ture, left home and installed himself
in the little hamlet of Morvan, at a
farrier's whose numerous family was
crowded into the only room, which
was the forge. Corot there contracted
the habits of the peasantry, which he
retained ever after. He had no needs
lived only for his art and found com
plete happiness in it.
For long time Corot remained a
the farrier's. satisfied with the coarse
food. happy in his liberty and feeling
rich with his modest allowance. En-
dowed with robust health and beinl
jovial by nature, he always sang Will
he worked. and his gayety never de
serted him.
At his fathers death Corot foun
himself possessed of a revenue of 40
600 francs. but this opulence did nc
change his rustic habits. He continue
his simple and laborious life. Away
up before dawn. he putson the peas
, ants clothes that he wore all his lif'
ate his soup. lit his pipe and with hi

Successful Sheep Husbandry.


A large number of farmers are seri-
ously considering the advisability of
establishing new fiocks and going into
sheep husbandry as an adjunct to their
farm operations. Many of them have
had little experience with sheep. The
prevailing high prices are the incentive.
There is plenty of room upon the ma
jority of farms for few sheep, but
the establishment of new fiockS upon
farms where sheep have never been
kept. with limited experience in their
management, is another matter. When,
prices are high on any one commodity
it is good time to look ahead for a
fuctuating market. The farmer who
attempts to operate his farm in such
a manner as to produce only crops that
command unusually high prices is in
large majority of cases going to
meet with sad disappointment. Sue
cessful sheep husbandry is not founded
upon local changes in market condi-
tions, but upon few well defined prin-
clples that can be laid down as inevita-
BILE law. The first of these is environ
ment. The statement is frequently
made that sheep can be proftably
maintained upon nearly every farm
but this is not so. The lay of the
land naturally, the kind and character
of soil, the local influences and eli
matte conditions, are such in some 10
calities that profitable sheep husbandry
cannot be successfully operated.-L G

Judge D. NJ Barnes, his attorney, and

Dowie's custom to hold religious SER
vices every Sunday afternoon in the
parlor of Shiloh House. About 200 of
his original followers remained faith
full and attended these services. Dowie
always wore his apostolic robes and
made a characteristic address. Five
weeks ago these meetings ceased and
Dowie appeared no longer in public.
Judge Barnes, who was at the bed
side of Dowie, is a member of Overseer
Voliva's council, but remained friendly
to Dowie, believing him to be insane.
Dowies wife, father and son held the
same view, and it is, therefore, believ-
ed, though they were estranged, that
they will attend the funeral.

marked the rule of Dowie will be OBJ

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great change
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition Of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesSes which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of it's
fairness.
