Family Row At Cecilton Results
Seriously.

SCh htUuStys
Jefferson d. Beltz was stabbed in
the abdomen and seriously wounded
Tuesday night by his wife, Mrs.
Susan Beltz, at their home, in
Cecilton, Cecil county. The in
jured man was removed to Will.

is reported critical.
Mrs. Beltz after stabbing her
husband fled to the home OF a
neighbor, where she was arrested
by Constable Milliken and taken to
Elkton Jail, where she will be held
to await the outcome of the hus:
bands injuries.
According to the wife, she had
been on a visit to sister and on
her return home Tuesday evening
her husband upbraided her and
called her vile names, finally
striking her over the head and then
choking her. In self defense, she
claimed, she seized a knife from the
table and plunged it into him. Her
plea will be self defense.
The couple had not lived har
moniously for some time, the hus-
band at one time entering suit for
divorce, but the proceedings were
finally dropped. Mrs. Beltz is
about 35 years old. The couple

Carneqie's First Investment.

It was due to Thomas A. Scott that
Andrew Carnegie made his first invest
ment, ten shares of stock in the Adams
Express company, valued at $780, This
he did with considerable trepidation.
He had labored hard for the money he
had saved up while he had worked as
a telegrapher. 1t is part Of railroad
history how he later fell in with the
Inventor Of the sleeping car, saw the
enormous advantages which that man.
ner Of travel held out to passengers
and promoters and how he interested
others in the invention Of Mr.. Wood
ruff. This occurred shortly after his
return from Washington, when the
problems of transportation were still
uppermost in his mind. He was now
on the road to success and wealth as
he then pictured earthly possessions.
The Pennsylvania oil fields yielded
large returns when Carnegie and 9TH
ers turned their energies in the direc-
ton Of the newly discovered territory.

The Rain Was Hot.

Mrs. Colt had been waiting for .
week or more to give her rear porch q
good scrubbing, but she was always
afraid Of mourning the keen displeas-
ure of the people in the fiat below,
who, it seemed, were never off their
porch and who would get all the drip.
pings Of her scrubbing operation.
When it rained, though, Mrs. Goitt
saw what she thought was her oppor.
tunity. The people down below surely
would not be out on the porch during
the rainstorm, and all the water that
dripped down would be attributed to
the rain. She filed a bucket with boil
ing hot water, threw in a sallow cake
of soap and got busy. So
But she had reckoned wrong, for the
people down below were on their porch
enjoying the. shower. In minute Mrs.
Goitt heard a woman's voice below
saying: why, Martha, the rains COM
ing through from the porch above The
roof must leak"
And then Martha observed, with a
gasp: eyes. And, oh, heavens, had you
noticed that the rain is hot? Did you
ever hear Of such thing? Aren't ter
rfble things happening? All these aw-
full murders, and now hot rain! But it's

Early Lamps and .Wicks.

It would be hazardous to conjecture
what the first wick consisted of. but
when we come to consider the iron
lamp, or "crusie," we know that the
wick commonly used was the pith of
the rush, which was gathered and
partially stripped Of it's outer green
covering, cut into proper lengths, dried
and tied up into bundles ready for use
The iron lamp was hammered out of
one piece of iron in a stone mold. This
was usually done by the blacksmith.
and the molds are still to be seen in
museums, in the hands of private COL
1ectors and no doubt at some Of the
country blacksmiths' shops. They are
of one uniform shape, with some slight
varieties. The lamp consists of two
cups, one suspended above and inside
the other The suspender is so fixed
and notched as to enable the upper
cup, which holds the oil and wick, to
be shifted to keep the oil constantly in
contact with the wick. The lower cup
catches the drip Of the oil, which can
be easily replaced in the upper cup by
lifting it off until the oil is poured into
1t. The upper cup has sometimes
movable lid.-Chambers' Journal.

How Could She Do IT.

The homely forms of speech used by
the country people with whom little
Edith and her mother boarded last
summer were frequently very puzzling
to the child.
One evening the farmers wife, in
talking for few minutes with Edith's
mother, remarked that, as she was
very tired that night, she would "go to
roost with the chickens.''
When Edith's bedtime arrived lit
tie later the youngster was nowhere to
be found. After considerable search
she was discovered sitting on a large
stone near the chicken house, quietly
watching the fowl as they came in one
by one.
Edith" called her mother, what
are you doing there? I've been look
ing for you everywhere; it's time to go
to bed"
Il know, MOTHER" was the reply,
"but they're nearly all in now, so she'll
be here soon, guess" <. ILL.,. .
"Who are in and who will be there?
What on earth are you talking about,
child?" asked the mystified mother.
"Why," explained Edith, rather i'm
patiently, you know Mrs. - said she
was going to roost with the chickens
tonight, and I'm waiting to see how
she does it, g.. 1884,

Reading a Horses Face,

Every horse carries an index to his
temper and intelligence in his face.
The teachable, tractable animal is
broad and fat between the eyes; the
bony ridge of his face dishes slightly
from the point where the face narrows
toward the nostrils. His ears are Well
set, sensitive and far apart, with a
we'll defined ridge of bone extending
across the top of the head between
them. Always feel for this ridge in
judging horse. The eye should be
large, clear and bright with a prom
inent ridge Of bone along the inner and
upper edge of the socket-London An
