HIT With LANTERN
N. p. EMPLoYE KNOCKED OUT
cOMRADE AND is AR.
RESTED &

Mat Kusstritz is in Jail for having
struck S. A. Andre with a lantern, ear
ly yesterday morning. From what has
been learned it appears that they are
fellow workmen in the N. P. round
house and that Andre had scensured
Kusstritz for neglect of duty in not
attending to the engine lights. Andre
was struck with such force that he
fell backward, striking the back of his
head and was unconscious for about
three hours and is still somewhat daz-
ed Up to this time both workmen
had always been good friends and had
worked together amicab1y. It is fear.
ed that Andre will be in bad shape
for some time.
kusstritz was taken before Justice
Kennedy, charged with assault with
intent to kill, the complaint being
made by Foreman Littlehales. After
hearing the circumst ances the justice
placed the defendant under bail of q
thousand dollars, and the defendant
being unable to furnish bond, was com
mitted to the county Jail.

The overeoat.

Probably in no other department sar-
torial is there exhibited so much in
difference to hygienic considerations
as in the overcoat The greatest fall
lacy of all perhaps in regard to the
choice Of an overcoat is that the terms
weight" and warmth" are synony-
nous. AS matter Of fact, they are
nearly always Numerically opposed.
Moreover. the heavy overcoat is tax
on the resources Of the organism and
destroys the economy which a good
insulating cloth is intended to secure.

A CLOCK IN A BOTTLE.
The Way This Marvel of Mechanism
Was Construc+ed

The Way This Marvel of Mechanism
Was Constructed.
A German clockmaker living in the
little village of CONNER, near Magde-
burg, built clock in. bottle. The
maker, FL. Rosin, secured a strong
movement with a cylinder escapement
measuring forty-five millimeters and
began by saving the plate into halves
The opening in the neck Of the bottle
measures fifteen millimeters, and in
order to get these halves into the bot
tie he cut another segment off each Of
the halves Of the plate. He built sort
of tripod as resting place for the
movement. This tripod was assembled
after he had introduced its parts into
the bottle separately. The tripod is SO
constructed that it cannot turn when
the movement is being wound. The
four pieces Of the plate were fastened
side by side by means Of screws to
the platform attached to the tripod, a
long screwdriver and other tools espe-
cially constructed for the purpose hav-
ing been used for this operation. When
the plate was put together, the clock
maker proceeded to put all the parts
Of the movement in their, original
places with the motion wheels for the
hands. AZ ring Of white metal was
placed around the neck Of the bottle,
and upon this ring was soldered a
round plate, thus closing the opening.
On this cover were fastened in an in
clined position the arms which serve
as a support for! the. dial. @
The dial is made Of a ground glass
plate, which has a diameter of twenty
centimeters. The black numbers on the
dial are cut skeleton fashion and ce-
mented to the glass. At night one can
tell the time by placing light behind
the dial. clinical World.

It is never necessary for the tongue
to talk IN order to tell that you are Ill
or the nature Of your illness. The
tongue Of the dumb is. quite as elo-
quent when viewed by an experienced
physician as the, tongue Of the most
laxative person. IT,. ..ss-. -'5- i.S
It Is d wonderful organ and should
be studied by all parents, not only on
their own account, but on account
of their offspring. It aids in mastica-
ton Of food, in drinking, in sucking, in
articulation, and contains in its ml1-
cous membrane the peripheral organs
Of taste,g There are doctors who will
spend half an hour feeling Of your
pulse and listening to your heart beats.
There are others who command,
"stick out your tongue" One glance
at your tongue will to them tell the
tale. g NV a.I M 9ggt5t
Tremulousness Of the tongue when
1t is protruded is a positive sign Of
various nervous diseases. But by far
the commonest cause Of this tremu-
lousness Is an excessive Indulgence In
alcohol. There is an old rule about
looking into mans eye to tell If he
be a habitual usher. It often fails.
Drink in some men excites the lachryr
NAL glands, causing the eye to appear
watery. But all of us know men who
have watery eyes, yet never touch
liquor. But the; best and final test is
the tongue. It is the only sign that
cannot be concealed. II man seek
ing employment swears on a stack Of
Bibles that he does not drink, make
him stick out his tongue. If it trem-
bles he is liar.-New York Press.

scaIded Her Hand

Mrs. Ernest Black had the misfor-
tune yesterday morning to badly
scald her hand while attending to
cooking operations. On opening the
oven some escaping steam scalded the
hand to such an extent that it was
necessary to call in a doctor to dress
the hand. While nothing serious is
expected it will be necessary to take
particular care of4the hand and pre-
vent the cold from reaching 1t.

waste in Preparing vegetables.

In preparing vegetables for the table
there is almost always a larger or
smaller loss due to inedible matter,
skins, roots, seeds, etc. an( also a
waste Of good material, which is caus-
ed by careless pairing, ETC.. all these
losses being grouped together in re-
porting analyses under the name REF
use" The amount of refuse varies
greatly in different vegetables, as
shown by large number of analyses
Of American food materials. The
amount may be small in such vegeta-
bles as string beans, medium In such
vegetables as onions, cabbage, leexs,
lettuce, cucumbers, or high in such
vegetables as beans, pod pumpkins and
squash. With tubers, such as potatoes,
the average amount of refuse is 20 per
cent, and with such roots as turnips
80 per cent.
In preparing vegetables for the table
the carefulr cook will remove all in
edible portions and will see to it that
the total amount of refuse is as small
as Is consistent with good quality. Thin
pairing of potatoes and other vegetables
Is an economy which 1t Is worth while
to practice, and is an easy way Of
decreasing useless loss.-Maria Parloa.

frequently been traced to the careless
disposal OF the carcass of an infected
animal. Burning Is much more effec-
tive than burying. as the germs of some
diseases, as anthrax for example, re-
tain their virility for a considerable
length of time. Then in burying car
casses, unless they are placed very
deep 10 the ground. there is always
more or less danger of their being root
ed or dug UP. Dogs will dig open such
graves and hogs will root them out.
Those who have attempted to bury a
hog or horse win readily appreciate
the statement that it is easier to burn
than bury them. A little kerosene and
a brush heap viii soon dispose of a
carcass, with the certainty that all
germs are destroyed Some recommend
the construction of 3 specially arranged
furnace for this work, but ON the or
binary farm this would doubtless be an
added expense. 1t will not be a diff
cult matter on any farm TO gather
enough trash, such as brush, old rails,
etc. to burn dead animal and the ex.
pense is inconsiderable.

Ar In cuItixnting Corn.

/ think not many farmers realize
the value of the main roots OF corn or
the nature Of the growth. One sum
mer discovered that the roots Of
some of my corn six weeks old were
as long as the stalks, and they spread
out five or six inches in all directions
beneath the surface. In the first culti-
yation | hold the shovels as closely
as possible to the young hills of corn
and allow them to go down five inches
or more in order to loosen the dirt and
permit the air to freely circulate In
the soil.
After the first p'owlng use my sur
face riding cultiyators with four
blades, two on each side Of the row,
about twenty inches long and three
inches wide, that skim under the sur
face. about two inches. and behind the
blades is drag which is held at a
proper angle be- a stiff spring. This
drag should be so set as to level the
ground and at the same time it VIII
pull to the surface and leave exposed
TO the sun all weeds that have been
cut off by the knives two inches be-
low The cutting Of the weeds below
the surface will destroy the roots and
the tops being left on the surface will
soon dry out and die.
don't believe any general rule can
be drawn as TO how many times corn
should be cultivated other than TO say
again good judgment should be used
according TO condition Of season and
soil. Sometimes II Is only necessary
TO cultivate three times: al other times
we must 20 through the fourth. and
in extreme cases put men into the
field with single horse and a small FIVE
10 eight toothed surface cuitiyafor
after the corn is well in the tassei.
This latter would occur dHring an cx-
trenely dry year.
/ am not in favor OF ridging corn
with our Central Illinois prairie soil
when laying corn by. Instead prefer
to have ms suEface piow blades set at
IN angle - they wiz barely throw a
light covering lnte the hills. which
