WIFE TAKES CREOSOTE
Husband, in Cell, Declares Trip to
New York Once Every Two
Years Is Enough. -.

st. Louis, Missouri.-Mrs. Fannie
Novick, % years old, is in a serious
condition at the city hospital from the
effects of a dose Of c%reosote, which
she at first told the police her hus-
band, Abraham, 20 years old, forced
her to take, after he had threatened
her life~with a revolver. Novick is
locked in a cell at the Carr street po-
lice station.
Novick denied he had forced his
wife to take the poison. He said she
had the creosote in ner possession.
and that when she swallowed 1t he
knocked the bottle from her hand in
time to save her life. He said his
wife wanted to dress too stylishly and
to travel about the country.
Mrs. Novick wanted to visit rela-
tives in New York, and Novick re-
fused to give her the money. II
thought a trip to New York once in
every two years was sufficient for my
wife," Novick said in his cell.

Why should Spanish be taught in
the Boston schools? Boston has one
school entirely filled with Italian chill
dren who are learning to speak Eng
fish, and instruction in that tongue Is
more or less required in the majority
of other Boston schools, says Lowell
Courier Citizen. The great need of in
struction at present is to save the Eng
lish language from being SO corrupted
by slang and INSTRUMENTATION that
future generations will hardly know
the speech of the %forefathers Of the
country. Give the child at least one
language fully understood and properly
spoken, and let that be English by all
means. The high school pupil has
troubles enough today with mastering
sufficient French and German to make
himself understood on his first trip
abroad, and n hsSitates to contem-
plate what might happen with a work
ing knowledge of Spanish.

Josephine SETS MIX RECORD.

Columbia, Missouri.-The worlds
record for milk production has been
broken by Missouri Chief Josephine.
the prize COW Of the College of Agri-
culture. In the four months contest
just closed the total exceeds the
worlds record 10 per cent. Chief Jo-
sephine gave 1886 pounds of milk in
the four months. The production av-
eraged 96.4 pounds a day for the 100
days. The COW that previously held
the record was Conlantha Fourth Jo-
hannah. The great amount of milk
that Josephine gives can be appreciat.
ed when it is said that 1t is twice as
much in a month as the average COW
gives in a year.

COAL VS.. GE MS.

From time immemorial India has
been noted for precious stones. For
thousands of years It has been a land
of much display Of gems and jewelry.
The average European or American
can hardly think OF India without
some CLINT of diamonds in his minds
eye. In a more modern and less cele-
brated way. Brazil, likewise, has been
a country of diamonds and gold. A
few famous stones and many smaller
ones have made a vast land of forest
and plain, plantation and wilderness.
sparkle before the world. Last year
India produced diamonds worth s4,575
and coal valued at s16,332, 991. In the
same year the amber mined in India
was worth s1,771. The yield of ru-
bies and sapphires was more impor-
tant. Their value was officially report
ed as s233.36S. The petroleum pro-
duced in the same ear was estimated
at $3,416,327. In Brazil the value Of
the coffee crop Of one year is greater
than the market price of all the dia-
monds found in that country in a CEN
fury. So the practical dwarfs the
ornamental in this age of business. 1t
is a period which belongs to iron
rather than to gold. to coal far more
than to all the precious stones and
gems of the earth.

A DOCTORS EXPERIENCE

It is hard to convince some people
that coffee does them an injury! They
lay their bad feelings to almost every

In a recent dispatch to the state de-
partment at Washington the American
charge d'affaires at Peking, China,
gave an account Of a proposed railroad
to be built from the seacoast west
through the Yellow river valley, the
ultimate purpose being to make con-
nection with Chinese Turkestan. There
is great hope for China in such prof.
ects. The more of them that are
carried to completion, opening up the
country to trade and providing more
expeditions transportation, the less
likelihood will there be of famine and
anti-foreign outbreaks such as those
in Human province.

tains. Rough estimates place the
value Of his haul at several thousand
dollars.
The hold-up occurred one mile east
of Robstart, N. NJ. ear C%orrizozo. At
this point. the robber, who had board
ed the train at Corrizzozo, covered
with his gun, compelling them to stop
the train.
Driving the men before him, he en-
tered the sleeping car. awakened the
occupants with a command to gather
their valuables and proceed to the
private car Of Superintendent G. F.
Hawks in the rear.
No Passenger Escaped.
One by one the half-dressed passen-
gers were covered by the robbers gun
as they clambored from their berths.
Taking his time, and exhibiting re-
markable GOODNESS, the bandit careful
ly took an inventory of what each
bore in his uplifted hands.
The job was thorough, not a pas
senger escaping. and not one being
able to keep anything Of value. When
all the berths were emptied, the ban
dit drove his victims into the private
car, where all, including Superintend'
m Hawks, were told to place their
property in a pile on the floor.
Shoots Out Rear Lights.
Still covering the crowd with his
gun, he swept the plumber into a sack
and backed out of the car. AS he de
parted he shot out the rear lights OF
the train, firing four times.
Posses are in pursuit Of the robber
in the hope of intercepting him before
he can cross the desert to the noun
tains, toward which he is headed.
The passengers, who have been LEFT
destitute for the time being, are being
cared for by the railroad company.
