lmpaled on the Pin, Meeting
TrauIc Fate,


Jacksonville, N. J.-When Big Ben,.
a crow that has been here for the last
five summers, made his temperance,
Mrs. Josiah Sprague had no thought
that his advent presaged the loss of
her new hat and her favorite house
cat. Mrs. Sprague bought hat in
Paterson about two weeks ago. It
wasn't radical in shape or style, but
1t was bright, attractive piece of
headgear, and one of its appurten-
ances was long pin, with a shiny
silver knob at the end.
On Friday afternoon Mrs. Sprague,
returning from visit, laid her hat on
chair on the front porch. Three
minutes after it was missing. She
heard a noise on the porch when she
was in the house, but 1t was slight and
she could not believe it had anything
to do with the disappearance of the
hat. Besides, her hired man, who
was at work in the garden, had seen
no one enter or leave the house. The.
hat disappeared as mysteriously as.
II the wings in the trimmings had car
ried it away. Yesterday morning
Trixie, the cat, which never wandered
far away, also disappeared. Mrs.
Sprague began to believe there was.
something uncanny about the house.
She and several neighbors made q
thorough but vain search for both the.
headpiece and the household pet To-
day the hired man. who was in the.
woods back Of Mrs. Sprague's home,
solved the mystery. On high tree
he noticed a gray plume floating
above above basket-like affair that
seemed to be fixed between two limbs
twenty feet from the ground.
The hired man Skinned up the tree,
and found Mrs. Sprague's missing hat
and cat. A tragic fate had befallen
Trixie, however, for she was impaled
on the long hat pin that stuck through
the hat. The man scrambled down
from the tree with the dead pussy and
and the hat in his arm. AS he did
so Big Ben, the crow, and a bird with
duller plumage, evidently his mate,
circled about him with angry cries, as

the two crows showed that Big Ben
stole the hat so he and his mate would
have a ready-made nest. The death
of the cat is easily explained. 1t is
presumed TriXie, Who had no rever-
ence for Big Ben's rights, espied the
crows in their new nest on the night
the hat disappeared. Stealthily climb
ing up the tree, the cat must have
made a spring for the crows. He
reckoned without the presence of the
sharp hat pin. The badly clawed con-
dition of the hat indicated the cat
struggled desperately to escape before
it died. Big Ben and his mate sat dis
consolately on an upper limb of the
tree to-day, finding it difficult to make
up their minds to begin the building
of real nest. Mrs. Sprague, too is
disconsolate for the loss of the hat
and the cat in the same day.

an, has been arrested for wearing
male attire. AS a girl in her teens she
passed at the head of her class in
boys high school, and as young
woman in trousers she became a
teacher in the public schools Of Balti-

Maude, or James, is now twenty-four
and first donned mans attire when
she was sixteen. She says: ION en-.
tering the Baltimore Colored High
School the thought occurred to me
that l might make a big success in
life as a man. l know that a woman
of my race has not much chance, so
with due thought l shaved my head

clothes. We were then living in an
other part of town, so with my
grandmother, who was the only one
who knew my secret, we moved to
the house in which we now live.

Never once was the sex Of the
young man." who daily sat at the
desk in public school, suspected. She
was an active worker in Ebenezer
Baptist Church and taught Sunday
school class. This was the only
chance for her to mix with men, as
she kept completely aloof from the
negroes of the neighborhood in which
she lived, going to her home immedi-
ately after school and remaining in
the company of her grandmother.
When seen at her home to-day she
was dressed in natty suit of blue
serge. Tall of stature, she would
easily be mistaken for a youth of
twenty. She also possessed a rather
heavy beard.
A short time ago the woman was
taken i'll and entered the Maryland
General Hospital. where it was dis
covered that she was not man. The
police yesterday went to the hospital
and placed the woman under arrest
She paid $50 line and costs and was
given twenty-four hours in which to

MAN AND HAWK BATTLE.

of emil Schneider. He shouted to
Schneider, who got his gun and fired

bird fell into an abandoned stone
quarry.
Lower me on rope and I'll get
him." volunteered Barker. Down he
went ninety feet and reached for the
wounded hawk. There was a beating
of wings, clutching by sharp-pointed
talons and the men above heard Bark
er yell in pain. But he threw himself
bodily pom the savage bird and got
a strange hold on it. After he and his
captive were hoisted up the hawk was
measured. 1t spanned four feet from

How Mahogany Became Fashionable.

Every one knows how effective and
handsome mahogany is when used for
good furniture, but few Of us know
how its value was first discovered.
In the latter part of the seventeenth
century LONDON physician had a
brother engaged in trade with the
West Indies who on one occasion
brought home several logs of ma.
hogany as ballast. The doctor was
building house, and his brother sug.
gested that the logs would serve for
ceiling beams. Acting on the pro-
posal the doctor gave orders to the
workmen to make us of the ma.
hogany, but their tools wer, not equal
to the task of cutting the hard wood
and the logs were put out of the way
in a corner in the garden.
Some time afterward the head car
penter tried to make a box from the
wood, but was unsuccessful with or
dinary tools. He told the doctor, who
was interested in the battling timber
and ordered he..vier tools to be made
to work it with, says Home Notes
When this was done, and a box al
last made and polished. 1t was sc
handsome that bureau was made
from another of the despised logs
and this was declared by experts t

Experiments recently made in Wis
consin in the use of cod liver oil for
calves, as a substitute for whole milk
in rearing tend to confirm the results
hitherto obtained, namely that calves
to which whole milk is fed do best"
although the system of feeding cod
liver oil is decidedly the more econ
omical. The calves were given whole
milk for the first six weeks of their
existence.
They were then divided into two
lots. One lot was given the same
food before, namely whole milk; the
other being given an increasing guam
tity of separated milk and cod liver
oil, while the whole milk was dis
continued. At the latter period the
oil which was supplied reached a
weight of two ounces per day per
animal, and the separated milk am
ounted to ten pints, which was in
creased to IL pints a month later,
without any extra oil, though the
other lot had the same quantity of
whole milk as before. Without 60
ing fully into details, the whole milk
was valued at 16 cents per gallon;
therefore the daily cost of each of
the calves works out about "a cents,
when the maximum allowance of
milk was given. If the separated
milk is valued at four cents per gal
Ion, the milk for the calves fed with
it would be six cents per head per
day, to which has to be added the
cost of the cod liver oil, bringing it
up to nine cents per day. The differ
ence in the value of the calves was
considerably in favor of the cod liver
OIL fed ones, after the cost Of the
feeding material is taken into ac-
count. 1t is very rightly pointed
out by the experimentalists that the
milk (1h gallons) and in the same
quantity of separated milk, plus, in
the letter case, two ounces of cod liv-
er oil, was about the same. 1t, there
fore, follows that the cod liver oil
calves might continue to get their
two ounces of oil daily for about
four months, the period during which

COOLING MILK.
Keep the Cans IN a Tank Filled with
Cold Water.

A great deal of the milk brought
to the creamery Monday morning, is
sour, caused largely from not being
properly cooled Saturday night. A
tank of cool water to place the cans
in as soon as you are through milking
is Indispensable. One of the plung.
ers used to stir the milk with is also
necessary. This is made by solder
ing a piece of tin about four inches
in diameter onto small tin pipe
two feet long; this will make plung-
er which can be easily washed. BY
giving the milk a churn or two, the
whole mass will be agftated and thor
oughly stirred, sending the milk in
the center of the can to the outside
and that at the outside to the center.
If milk is clean, and the cans, strain
ers, pals and other utensils are prop
erly cleaned an, the whole mass of
milk is properly cooled down imme-
diately after milking. it will keep a
long time.

old girl, giving her name as Annie
Brown, had been arrested on the
charge of being a daring boarding
house thief. Detective Tucker had a
warrant from Allentown for a runa-
way girl. The warrant gave as the
prime mark for identification the fact
that she had a curious gold tooth.
Tucker frowned upon the girl. "Open
your mouth" he commanded. She re.
fused, and even resisted successfully
efforts to pry her mouth open. Then
Tucker reached forward and tickled
the girl on the neck. Others did like
wise, and tickling her on the neck be-
came a copied diversion. Finally she
could stand 1t no more and burst out
laughing. Then it was seen that she
had a gold tooth. She is held as an
incorrigible girl.

are considered of no value. This is a
great mistake. Where pure-bred
stock is used nearly all of the calves
can either be used or sold for breed
ing purposes. The demand for prom.
ising heifers of even grade stock is
very great. In all cases, a good profit
can be made from calves by feeding
them skim milk and selling them for
veal. The extra weight put on them
in finishing them for veal represents
as much or more gain as can be se'

pigs.
