CRYING Baby Is "Exhibit A."

Buffalo, N. "a crying baby was
offered in evidence, and after much
argument between opposing counsel
was marked for Identification as "Ex-
hibit A" in case brought up in the
city court here. The action is for
$1,000 damages, and the baby is pro-
duced as the principal evidence for
the plaintiff.
81 desire to offer this infant in evil
dence," was the announcement of one
of the attorneys as woman came
behind the rail bearing bundle in
her, arms. The attorney for the de-
tense promptly objected.
Nobody ever heard of such pro
ceeding," he said.
Il contend that 1t is perfectly prope~
TO have the child marked for identt
fication," contended the plaintiffs law
yer.
The argument continued for several
minutes, the baby holding his own in
the making. Finally the court
settled the dispute by directing the
photographer to mark the exhibit.

THREE KILLED BY COAL. GAS
Fumes from Stove Fatal to AGED
Milwaukee Couple and Son
Neighbors Find Bodies.

MlIWaukee.-Th persons were
asphyx1ated by fumes escaping from
coal stove in their home at Raw
view, and their bodies were not dis
covered until two days later.
The dead are:
JOHN SCHULTZ, laborer, aged rs
years.
KATRINA SCHULTZ. his wife
aged SO years.
WILLIAM BARTEL. an adonted
son. aged Is years.
The bodies were discovered bv a
party of neighbors who, alarmed at
the non-appearance of the members
of the family, broke into the house.
me hrst appearance OF the bodies
Iholcated that crime had been com
mltted. The froth escaping from the
victims mouths, was taken for gags
by neighbors. It was known that
MRS. Schultz had a considerable
amount OF. money home with her with
winch to pay her taxes.
Mr. Schultz, an invalid, slept in a
front room, and he was found as if
asleep, with a glass of milk, on which
ne made his breakfast after his wife
lett for her work in the morning,
standing beside him. The evidences
were that he had died without a
struggle.
Mrs. Schultz and the adopted son
were found in their rooms adjoining
the room in which the stove was
kept. The boy was grasping a post
OF the bed, his position indicating
that he had tried to struggle from
his bed. The woman's position also
indicated struggle.

be due to varying conditions of chem
ical composition of the water that
make it possible for fish to live in
certain sections of the lake and not
in others; and, in short, to find out
everything about this strange body or
water from scientific standpoints that
is worth knowing.
What ultimate political or CONNER
cial motives, if any, underlie the sur
face of the enterprise time only can
show.
This is by no means the first at
tempt made to explore the Dead sea
region. Lieut.. w. F. Lynch of the
American navy, as early as the year
1S48 spent considerable time in re-
search and exploration of that region
at the expense of the American gov
eminent and at great risk to his per-
son.
Despite the hardships, Lieutenant
Lynch was fairly successful in taking
measurements as we'll as soundings
of different parts Of the lake. Accord
ing to the lieutenant's narrative, the
lake measures some 46 miles from
north to south and from to IL miles
east and west. It's total surface area
was therefore computed to be ESQ
square miles. It's greatest depth was
1900 feet at it's northern end, and its
shallowest part being at it's southern
extremity, varies from S to Is feet
only.
The lakes depression below the sea
level is 1872 feet and a tropical
climate makes it's temperature almost
unbearable during certain seasons Of
the year.

ducks eggs that we have ever eaten,
and as a rule, they bring higher
prices in the market.
The ducklings reach marketable
size when about twelve weeks Old.
When forced, they will weigh four to
five pounds at two months.
The meat of the Runner is OF SUI
perior quality; fine in the grain, juicy,
and excellent favor. Hotels and res
taurants pay fancy prices for duck
lings.
The eggs are in good demand, also.
In winter when eggs are high the In
dian Runner is ION the job" Amy
enterprising person can work up
trade among hotels and restaurants
that should prove highly profitable.
There is no great danger of strong
competition, as comparatively few
poultry raisers have taken up this
branch of the industry, notwithStand-
ing the fact that nearly all kinds OF
poultry products are bringing I'M
heard-of prices in the open market.
In summer the Indian Runner when
given free range will find the greater
part of his living in the fields. But OF
course when being fattened for mar
ket, they need some grain. 1t would
be well to say right here that for best
results the grain should be either
ground or cooked.

EXPLORING DEAD SEA
Scientists Sounding Waters OF
Oldest Known Lake.
Motives Of Expedition Said to Be
Purely Sclentific-No Elements of
CommerciaIism Entering Into
Ultimate Object.

Jerusalem-An expedition, the pur-
pose of which is thoroughly to explore
the Dead sea and it's environs under
the leadership of DR.. Bruhl Of the Uni.
versity of Berlin, has just arrived
from Europe and continued to the
scene of it's future operations.
The motives of the expedition, so 1t
is emphatically averred by DIR. Bruhl,
are purely scientific, with absolutely
no elements of commercialism enter
ing into its ultimate object.
The work of exploration will con-
sist in the major part of sounding the
depth of verfous sections of the lake

composition of it's waters, studying its
shores, investigating the nature of the
different minerals that are said to

large numbers only in the extreme
southeastern section Of the lake,
which consists mainly of shadows and
marshes.
It must be remembered in this con-
nection that it has always been firm
ly maintained by those who visited
the Dead sea and wrote treatises
about it long ago that no fish of any
kind can make their habitat in any
part of it, and this long established
belief was disproved only recently by
pleasure party of Americans, long
resident in the country, who visited
the southern end of the lake and dis
covered fish.
So it remains for the members OF
the German expedition to arrive at

ORIGIN OF INDIAN RUNNERS
Came From West Indies and Are
Thought by Many People to Be
Most Profitable of Duck Family.
(By ANNA GALLAGHER, ohio.)

(By ANNA GALLAGHER, Ohio)
1t is only comparatively few years
since the indian Runner ducks made
their appearance in America. They
came originally from the West In
dies, where they have been raised for
years, chiefly as egg producers. They
derive their name from their native
land and racy, upright carriage.
In color they are fawn and white,
with yellow shanks and light-green
bin; the latter being sometimes
splashed with black.
The body is, long and narrow and
is carried in an almost upright posi-
ton. Neck is long and thin, with fine.
ly formed head
The Indian Runner is rather small,
fully matured ducks weighing from
four to five pounds. brakes from five
to six pounds, live weight.
But they grow very rapidly while
young and are easy to raise. What
they lack in weight is more than made
up for in their other good qualities.
To begin with, they are very prolific
layers; beginning when about six
months old. Their eggs are pure
white and a little larger than those
of Plymouth Rock hen.
They are superior in quality to any

WARNS AGAINST CHAMBERS
Diseased Horses Being Shipped into
Wisconsin, Says State Veteri-
marian Elason.

Madison.-"It has come to the no
tice of this department several timea
recently that unprincipled persons
have knowingly shipped into this
state horses affected with CHAMBERS"
said State Veterinarian o. H. Eliason
today.
Attention should be called to the
fact that all horses shipped into this
state must be Mallein-tested for CLAN
ders. This can be done at the place
OF loading with much less trouble to
all concerned, for if there are any re-
actors such animals would be paid
for in the state wherein they were
bought. If tested, in case of reac-
ton there would necessarily be loss
to the owner, as the state does not
compensate for horses which appar-
emily have contracted diseases in
other states"
The motive for this ruling was pri-
marily to avoid the imposition of I'M
necessary hardship on honest ship

PROVIDING GRIT IN WINTER
Hens Should Ee Allowed to Take as
Much as They Require-Don't
Feed 1t In Their Mash.
CBy w. f. PARRTSH.)

When winter comes and the ground
freezes, or is covered with snow a good
deal of the time, grit must be sup
piled. Gravel or grit should be sharp,
so as to both cut and grind Smooth
pieces of gravel will not answer the
purpose. Gravel dug from a pit will
make one of the best grits.
When pounded into small pieces,
broken crockery will make excellent
grit, also. A little sand mixed with
the other grit IS helpful, but 1t Will not
answer for exclusive use, not being
sharp nor coarse enough.
II YOU prefer, you can buy prepared
grit from the dealers in poultry sup
plies. A good many people do this
and a good many other people buy
oyster shells with the belief that they
are obtaining grit. The hens need
some of the oyster shells, as they sup
pIy the system with lime aud car
donates. but they will not take the
place of grit. They are too soft, and
digest rather than grind.
Keep we'll filled grit boxes where
ing the winter months and you will
find that they consume quite lot of
the material in a months time. Pro
viding the grit in boxes and allowing
the hens to help themselves is the best
way Of feeding it. They will then use
as much as is necessary for their
health, as they are the best judges Of
this matter and consequently will not
consume more than they require.
If we always knew how much wo I'd
he needed for the health of the birds.
It would be all right to mix the grit
With the feed. But since we do not
know this, we would best not force
grit upon them as we woclo De de'ae
if we mixed it with the feed.

Ne,us Notes of Wisconsin

Madison. farmers are
being warned against the use OF
frozen silage by J. l.. Tormey Of the,
college of agriculture. The unusual
cold weather this winter has frozen
the contents of almost every silo in
the state and in some cases much
trouble has resulted from feeding the
silage to stock. Sheep usually fall
victims more readily than cattle. No
bad effects follow when the silage is
thawed before being fed, says Mi.
Tormey.
MISUNDERSTANDING of State
Frear has asked for an opinion from
the attorney general upon the right
of corporation to Kettle incorpora-
ton papers where there has been a
defect in the original papers, with

kee, a proposed $150,0O0 corpora
ton, informed the secretary of state
that one of it's incorporators was
minor and they desired to file new
corporation papers
