BETTER PRICE FOR REACTORS
Few Buyers Now Taking Advantage Of
Farmer Who Is Trying to I'M
prove His Herd.

A check on the reacting cattle sold
on the Buffalo market shows that the
packers and stockyards administration
and the bureau of animal industry Of
the United States Department OF
Agriculture have been securing better
treatment for persons who have cattle
Of this class to sell. Records from
June to September o show that on
a total of $40 head Of tuberculous cat
tie the gross price paid per head was
$22.17, less expense of 1884. making
a net price of $1S.33 per head. In the
past, records had been kept on 4,5OO
head and the average price paid was
only $14.5O. Few buyers are now TAX
ing advantage Of the farmer who Is
trying to clean up his herd. Many Of
them find that they can afford to pay
as much for reactors that are not
condemned as unfit for food as they
can pay for INFESTED cattle Of the
same kind and quality.

the poison was administered. and Cath
crime de Medici was freely named as
the inStigatOr of the murder. though
NO direct proof that she was ever con-
nected with the affair has ever come to
light.
Wraxwell. continuing his account Of
the strange Illness of the queen. states
that "Davilla asserts. in the most posi-
tive terms. that the queen of Navarro
was poisoned. The deadly dose was
administered. 1t was reported. in the
trimming Of pair of gloves. but in
manner so imperceptible and in SO
nice a proportion that after having
worn them for only a few days the
queen mother was seized with a VIC
lent fever. which put an end to her
life in five days"
When news Of the death of the queen
mother reached the Huguenots. whose
cause Queen Jane had espoused, they
instantly made the charge of foul play.
and the king. cognizant of the fact
that the poison had left no traces, or
dered the body to be publicly eXam-
ined. Historians whose accounts are
accepted as authoritative declare that
the two persons who examined the
queens body were not permitted 10
touch her head, where it was supposed
that traces Of the poison were still Wis
ible, and DAubigne makes no secret
of the statement that the queen was
murdered-thOugh he Is rather vague
as to the means used.
During her entire life Queen Jane
had been subject to violent head
aches attended by an extreme itch
Ing sensation. and repeatedly ex-
pressed the wish that the cause Of
this malady might be looked into.
children if they should be subject to
the same disorder. This may have
explained the reluctance Of the king
to permit an examination Of the head
Of the queen mother, though popular
opinion at the time lays 1t to fear OF
the discovery Of the poison used to
hasten the death of a strOng-minded
woman who was extremely antagon-
istic to many Of the ruling Catholic
families Of Europe.
In spite of the death of Queen Jane,
the royal nuptials were celebrated at
the cathedral Of Notre Dame, Margaret
of Navarro being in the full bloom OF
her youth, and just at the completion
of her twentieth year, inheriting the
full charm Of her grandmother. Mar
garet of Valois. the mother of the
queen, whose death Is attributed to
the pair of poisoned gloves. Apart
from the unusual instrument supposed
to have been used in this case, mystery
also surrounds the type of poison used.
for there Is no chemical known to sci
ence which would produce death
without a trace merely by application
to the outside Of the skin. and the
tragedy took place several centuries
before the discovery of the existence
Of bacteria-though the Borgias are
commonly credited with having known
more about some types of poisons and
germs than even the scientists OF mod.

an instrument Of death worthy of the
