after Z o'clock. All was quiet a't the
house, and without waiting to knock
the officers rushed in and told Mrs.
Ashmead she was under arrest. The
woman tried to hide something chat
she held beneath her apron, but she
was detected before she had accom-
plished her purpose, and the raiders
confscated a grip filled with the sur
gical appliances. These instruments
are made only to be used by skilled
physicians in the practice OF their
profession.
Turning to ascend the stairs where
voices could be heard on the second
floor one of the officers noticed that
Mrs. Ashmead tried to make for a
pantry. Shouting to one OF the raid
ers TO catch her the rest of the officers
went upstairs, where they found Mrs,
Knowles in bed. More instruments
were found here.
The officer who had captured Mrs,
Ashmead had in the meantime hand
cuffed her and looking in the pantry
which she had tried to reach found a
shotgun and pistol on the upper floor
the officers ordered the apparently i'll
woman to dress and told her she was
lunder arrest as a witness in a most
serious case. Stanford was also found
Fon the upper floor of the house.
After the prisoners had been taken tt
the Jail and the witnesses TO hote
where they were placed under guard
! the officers returned TO the farm and
made a thorough search Of the prem
/ ises. Every room was examined. The
! officers suspecting there must have
been some place where bodies Of chill
| dren had been made away with, began
a search.
| All night and a great part of the day
! they remained in and about the about
digging in the caller and in the gar
den; but up to tonight had uneartheC
no clue.
! Many letters written to the AshmeaC
woman were found, and these Were
taken to the headquarters, and an eff
fort will be made to locate the writ

Does Your Cat Couch?

Poor pussy. AS if the immemorial
charges against her Of keeping us
awake O nights and of eating canary
birds whenever she gets the chance
were not enough, the doctors have
just discoveredthat for years she has
been responsible for the spread Of
diphthetria. DR.. G. ]. Awburn Of
Manchester, England, having traced
an epidemic of his disease in a sub
urb of hat city to a pet cat belonging
to one Of his patients, has found, after
much clever investigation, that all
cats are peculiarly susceptible to
diphtheritic affections OF the throat.
He has therefore recently been var
ing all families who own cats to
watch them carefully, and, if they de-
velop coughs, to forbid their being
Rugged and petted. DR.. Awburn fur
Their recommends that If the cough
PERSISTS and the cat begins to grow
thin to have the animal destroyed at
once The only really safe way, he
says, is to let the first wheeze be

he Way They Build in Japan.


Toxic. Japan.-A Japanese house is
built quite differently from an Amert-
can or English one. The roof, which
with us is the last important part OF
the outward structure to be completed.
is with the Japanese the first thing to
be finished. All the tools used by the
carpenters and joiners have a re-
versed action. The Japanese carpen-
ter does not push it toward him.
The gimlets are threaded in the OPP
posite way to ours; the saws are made
SO as to cut on the upward pull and
not on the downward thrust; screws
have their threads reversed, and key
holes are always made upside down
and the keys turned backward. In
the house IL the clock is an old one it
will have stationary hands, with the
face revolving backward and the
hours marked 8, Z, 6. 5, A.. 8 and SO on.

SAVED OLD LADY'S HAIR

MY mother used to have a very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it 1 had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore nj her hair nearly all fell out
in spite of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking OF how her hair was falling
u and the doctors did it no good.
She says. Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scalding of her head was
overland her hair began growing. To
day she feels much in debt to Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head of hair she has for an old lady
OF seventy-four. =
MY W case was an eczema in my
feet. AS soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then l thought 1 would flee to my
mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and
C%uticura Ointment. I did for four or
five winters, and now my feet are as
smooth as any ones. Ellsworth Dun

tagonist, looking for an opening, Il
keeping well out Of danger. Sudden
", like a flash, the bird raised and
shot out one OF his powerful feet,
with sharp talons, and struck the
snake fairly on the head. This was
quickly followed by another crushing
blow. which proved a knockout.
Another 3-foot snake given to the
bird proved more active than the first,
and showed a disposition to fight,
making several angry lunges at the
secretary. which lodged them in
prize ring style. In avoiding these
the bird put out its widespread foot
to protect the abdomen. The secre-
tary tented and lodged for a minute
or more, watching for a good opening.
Suddenly, up shot the heavy foot, and
a sledge hammer blow, surely aimed.
struck the snake On the head. stun
ming and putting the reptile out of
action. The talonsa were drawn to-
gether when the blow started,
Strengthened out while In the air, and
were brought together slightly at the
instant of impact with the snake, so
that the victim received not only the
force OF the blow. but the piercing Of
the sharp claws.
When the snake lay quiet after the
blows the bird eyed it carefully. for a
moment to see If it were quite harm
less, and then, lowering his head
slowly for a bit he suddenly shot out
his beak like an arrow and transfxed
the snake just behind the head like
a sausage On a spit. After that the
reptile was eaten with as little cere-
mony as a chicken swallows a worm.
In South Africa the secretaries are
found in the higher dry districts, and
travel in pairs, male and female. If
disturbed they make Off in a rush,
using their wings to aid their. legs,
and their pace is fast. They seem
actually to skim the ground when pur-
sued. They seldom leave the ground
and if compelled to do SO make only
short flights. They build large,
bulky nests, which are utilized at
night as a roosting place. Where
trees are to be had they select a
place 60 OF 100 feet above the ground
for the nests. These are built of
sticks and sod and lined with grass,
and measure as much as five feet in
diameter and three feet in thickness.
AS a rule only two eggs are laid. In
cubation takes six weeks. The young
have to remain in the nest five or six
months before they can walk on their
long, slender legs, which are very
brittle and easily break IL the birds
are forced to run before they are old
enough.
