Peculiar Death OF a Cow.

r. Z. Byers lost a valuable four-year-
old COW last Thursday in very unusual
manner. When he fed his stock at noon,
the cow was apparently as well as usual.
About p. M, she was found dead in the
stable. A post norton disclosed six
inch hatpin driven well through the
heart. Mr.. Byers brought the heart
to the village and showed it to several
men who have had experience with cattle
and it was quite a puzzle to them how
the pin got there. 1t had a large ball
at the end and could not have well
passed entirely from the esophagus.
The theory is that the pin was in the hay
fed at noon and passed down to point
opposite the heart and that the animal
by some movement drove the point of the
pin through the heart.

ONE MILLION
 POUNDS OPIUM
Appalling Amount of the Drug Import cd in Four Years. 1o Per Cent o1 It Manufactured Into Morphine and 9o Per Cent Used Il,egitimatc!y.

Washington. July 31.-PreuaratorE to his trip to China to attend the com ing meeting of the International Com mission. which is to make study and investigation of the opium traffic Hf Hamilton Wright one of the Amer!can commissioners. has been making sn inquiry in various cities of the CnT- ed States and obtaining information from official sources as to the lmpot- tation and use of the drug In this country. Dr. Wright is anxious to pc prepared to tell the commission what the conditions are here, and he eN- poets the other nations to do the same,
 The imports of crude opium from 1909 to 1907 were 100000 pounds more than in the preceding five years period. Seventy-five per cent of the imports were manufactured into nor phine and 90 to 90 per cent of that amount was illegitimately used. The amount of smoking opium imported in 1878 was 54,000 pounds and in 1907 t was 151 ,000 pounds, notwithstand- ine there was a larger Chinese popula- ton in the former than in the latter period and that increased restrictions had been imposed against it's importa- ton.
 Dr. Wright says there is evident desire among manufacturers of tAe drug to obey the law respecting it's sale and that many of the Chinese are anXious to have the practice Of it by their countrymen discontinued.
 Estimates have been made regarding the use of the drug in various cities For instance, in New York City it is believed about one-third of the China l men. about 600 in number, are con- ,firmed smokers One estimate puts it at 30 per cent, while a great number of Chinese smoke it to less degree Figures furnished to Dr. Wright also , indicate that there are probably 3,00t white persons in New York who arc opium smokers.
 In Philadelphia it is estimated that there are 300 Chinese who are con firmed opium smokers. The commits
 sion meets in Shanghai January
