rSe. i i Her Klrau Oatlu It was an unpopular case to defend. The crime charsed against my client was one of shocking atrocity, the mur der of his own child. Arthur Berkeley, the prisoner, had married Edith Gran ger, a wealthy heiress, whose father had died, leaving her his whole fortune, to the exclusion of a profligate sou, whom he had disinherited and driven from bis home. Mis. Berkeley died within a year after her marriage, leaving an infant a few weeks old, a feeble little creature, re quiring constant and assiduous care. Indeed. Dr. Baldwiu almost took up his quarters in the bouse, often passing the night there, that he might be at hand in case of need. One of these nights the doctor, as he afterward stated in his evidence, after retiring to bed, feeling solicitous about his Utile charge, got up and stole softly to the nursery to see If everything was all right. He found the dour ajar aud a dim light burning within. As he advanced he distinctly saw Arthur Berkley stand ing by the cradle, holding to the child's mouth the bottle from which it was ac customed to receive its food. At the sound of the doctor's footstep he put down the bottle and stealthily left the apartment. Kot a little surprised at these move ments the doctor approached and laid his hand upon the child's face, which he found in violent convulsions, which were followed in a few seconds by the stillness of death. A post-morte i examination placed it beyond doubt that prussic acid had been administered, and an examination of the bottle proved that the milk in it contained a large quantity of the same deadly poison. On this evidence Berkly was arrested and indicted for murder. An incentive to the crime was fouud in the fact that as heir to his child he would inherit the fortune which had descended to the latter through the death ot its mother. Berkeley's previous character was good. He had always appeared gentle and kind; had been a devoted husband, and during the brief period of his life had shown the tenderest attachment to his child. In my conferences with him he seem ed overwhelmed with grief, but strenu ously denied all imputations of guilt, asserting that he had not gone to lh nursery after retiring that night till called bv the alaimof the child's death. Dr. Ba'dwiu was the first and chi. f witmss. He told his story clearly and methodically; and it was easy to see i: carried conviction to the jury. Mi rigid cro s examination only served lo bnntr out the evidence with nioie dis tinctness of detail. I elicited the fact, j for Instance, that the child's nurse lay in the sume room; that she was asleep when the doctor entered, and that it was to her he first atttibuted the child's death. The doctor had only recently settle 1 among us, but hii conduct had been m exemplary that he bad made many friend. He had especially won the confidence or the prisoner, as may 1 seen from the facts already staled, i interrogated as to his past career, but brought uut nothing to his discredit. The evidence of the chemist who made the analysis was next put in, and the State's Attorney "rested." "I have brought the nurse' here," lie said, "but as she wai asleep when the prisoner entered her evidence is unim portant, I thought it my duty to have her here, however, to afford the other side the opportunity to call her if they desire." .Nothing could render the prisoner's case more hopeless than it was already, while something might come out to bis advantage. "I will call the witness" I said. She was a middle-a;ed woman of not un-preiussessing apiaraiice. Her agi tation was visible, and 1 r.oticed that in taking the oath she laid her hand beside the iMXik instead of upon it. "I ask that the witness be sworn with her hand on the book," 1 said, calling attention to the omission. The judge so ordered, and the wit ness' hand shook violeutlv . she reluc tantly obeyed the direction, and the oath I was read ministered. I asked a few preliminary questions I as to the hour of I er retiring, ber fall-! ing asleep, etc. ; "What is the next thing you reniem- ; berr" I then asked. The witness l.esitated. "Answer the question,' said bis Honor. "I I heard a noise as of some o'be coming into the room," she faltered. "Did you see any one enter?" Another pause. I repeated the inquiry . "I did," was the answer. "What did the person do?" The woman's fare giew paler, and it was with difficulty she found utterance. "He came to the side of the cradle," sue said, "with the liottle of milk in his hand, aud put it to baby's mouth." The J udge and State's Attorney both bent forward iu eager attention. Tne latter, it was evident, had not expected this testimony. I felt that my questions, thus far bad only served to draw the halter closer about my client's neck. But I had gone too far to retreat. My voice trembled almost as much as that of the witness as I proce.-ded. "D.d you recognize the person?" "I did.'' was the answer, scarcely audible. My client's life hung on the answer ' to the next question. The silence in the court room was death-like. I dreaded to break it. The sound of my own voice startled me when I spoke. Her lips moved, but no sound came. "By the solemn oath you have taken on ttiat sacred book, and by your ho-s of salvation hereafter, I adjure you to speak the truth!" I said earnestly. Her agitation was fearful to witness. A deadly pallor overspread her face. Slowly raising her trembling hand, and printing at Dr. Baldwiu: "That is the man!" she almost shriek ed. lhen. In quick, wild accents, she went on to tell that on finding himself dis -overed by reason of her waking, the culprit who was none other than George Granger, Mrs. Berkeley's profligate brother, l;ad disclcsed to her that his put l ose was to regain his lost inherit ance by putting out of the way those who stood between him and it, prom is- ing the witness to provide for her band- Boning ii ?itc hei ma orcirii, iui num put to the test she bad found herself ! unable to violate her solemn oath.

A new pro cess has been discovered by which sweet potatoes can be reduced to flour, then being sold in that state, or kept for future use in air-tight cans. Throughout the Southern States, while the sweet potato grows well, and it much like a, no method baa yet Ieen known by which they can be kipt for a long time without rotting. The oom mon or Irish potato keeps much longer, bnt does not attain perfection in these warm regions. Should, therefore, the plkn proposed prove successful, sweet potatoes may be eaten the year round, and a creator value added to tne crop. while creating a new commodity to be disposed of by the grocer. The process consists first of drying the potato or yam tn an oven until the outside seems to be completely dry, when it is peeled off. It then goes through baaing a second time, and as there is then no rough and dense skin to interfere with the pores this operation is much more successful than the fimt one. By this, too, the fibers become fully shown, and can easily be removed from the starchy and farinacions matter, which ia then reduced to floor by grinding. The operation is completed by putting up the products in glass jars, and her metically sealing them. When thus treated, sweet potatoes do not differ much in tat te from cooked chestnuts, which are largely used by the inhabi tants of Italy for food. Sizs of Houses. Taking into consid eration the various uses to which hor ses are put, it becomes evident that the mzs must depend upon the service re quired. For all heavy drayage or heavy team work, large size and heavy weight are almost wholly indispensable, and the breeder ot heavy horses will have no trouble In making sales at good pri ces. But when it comes to farm or road eervioe, the horse of medium sise and weight will completely discount the auimal of ponderous proportions. Then coming to the true roadster, an animal of muscular vigor but smaller in weight and size has a decided preference. Dr. Hrne, V. a, says; "I would prefer a 950 to a 1,000 pound ammai for long euauraiice and a lifetime of wear and tvar. Two of the best roadsters I ever owned had a weight one of 940 and the other a little less than 900 pounds. Small animals will eat less, require lees shoeing, will be less likely to have dis ease, and are more convenient to han dle. BrasG Houses. Horses have been successfully cured of this vice by put ting a piece of hard wood an inoh and a half square in the animal's mouth. abont the same length as an ordinary snfetHe bit. It may be fastened by a thong of leather passed through two holes in the ends of the wood and se cured to the bridle. It must be used in addition to the bit but In no way to impede the working of the bit Rarey adopted this plan with the zebra in the Zjo, which was a terrible brute at bit ing. Mr. Rirey succeeded, however, in taming and training bim to harness and drove him through the streets of London. Animals with this vice should be treated kindly in the stable and not abased with pitch fork handles, whips, etc An apple, crust of bread, a piece of beet, etc., and a kind pat, but firm, watchful hand and eye, with the use of the above wooden bit, will cure the most inveterate biter. The fact that he cannot shut bis month or grip anything soon dawns upon him and then he is conqneted. Taa latest improvement in raising L;ma beans is to use brush about eight feet high, stuck like pea brush instead of poles, as commonly practiced. Plant in bills about three feet apart, in the directiou of the rows, and the rows six or eight feet from each other, Cut off the tops of the plants when they get abive the brush and stop all the side thoots when they are two feet long. The vines are much better exposed to the sun aud air in this manner, and far larger crops are to be matured by pol ing. Is harvest time farmers often suffer greatly from heat, and sunstrokes are of frequent occurrence in the harvest field, Too much care cannot be exercised. during the heat of the day through the not weather, to avoid all semblance of overheating. It is best, when the weather is extremely hot, to lay by dur ing the middle of the day, commencing earlier and working later. Whether- it is good or bad policy to plow corn after it becomes as high as the horse's back we will not attempt to ;ay ; but in cultivating it after it be comes so large great care must be exer cised not to break the tender stalks or not to tear loose and injure the brace roots. When the cultivating cannot he done without doing this, then the corn should be let alone. A cohrej-p indent writes thai soions keep heat in sawdust, and come ont as moist just from the green wood.

Too tnnoh emphasis cat not be given to the injunction to keep milk sweet in hot weather. The infant's natural nourish ment needs almost as much care in tu turner as does the consumer of it. The best method of keeping it uu ehanged, and therefore wholesome, is to set it in a clean, cold refrigerator as toon as it comes to the house. When it is needed, take the pitcher or cap in which it is to be poured to the refriger ator, not the milk-pan into the kitchen. Kurses generally neglect this precau tion. The pan is often left in the heat ed outer air for five, ten, fifteen minutes, thus causing the milk to "turn." Ia the country where ice is not readily Dbtainable, really good cellar, spring house, or dairy through which runs a living water is the next best thing to a refrigerator. If none of these are at band, pour the milk intended for the baby into a clean stone jog, (cork it ecureiy, tie oiled paper over the stop per, and suspend the vessel in the well. Akbib Pcddihq.

A ship railroad project of great Inte rest is absorbing the attention of men tway down east, though little is heard f it in the United States. The scheme is intended to revolutionize the coasting traffic of the mantsine provinces aud develop the resources of the north shore of Xew Brunswick aud Prince Edward Island. The railway to designated to eonnect Cumberland basin, at the head of the bay of Fundy, with Bay Verie, an arm of Cumberland Strait, Gulf of St. Lawrence. The isthmus which it is to span lies between Westmoreland couuty, X. B., and Cumberland coun ty, H. S., ami u the boundary between those two "rovinces. The isthmus ia only a dozeu miles wide, and if, as is asserted, it is pia iti cable to transport vessels over it, a sav ing of over three hundied miles can be effected in the voyage from the north shore of l'rince Edward Island to Boston or other United States ports. By the na tural route vessels from the Gulf of r. Law ence are obliged to make a circuit of Nova Scotia, which is a great obsta cle, not only by reason of the distance, but on account of the dangers of navi gation along its rocky coast. Work has already been begun on tne railway, and good progress is being made, the chief engineer being John Fowler, who constructed the under ground railway in London, and is now engaged on the long bridge over the Firth or Forth. Lord Brabourno of England is president of the company engaged in the work. A London syn dicate bas signed a contract to furnish the money required. When that ship railway is completed it will. If successful, wipe out the f r-e trade party here. Lumlwr is so cheap now that the Penobscot mills are shut ting down, produce is so cheap that the farmers, and fish so plenty and cheap that quotations are at bedrock. Waim In Eutoim. The following are som of the facts in relation to wages in Europe. In the district ot Esen. Germany, which is the iron and coal district, first-class iron and steel workers get from 13 to 20 marks a week, equal to from $3.75 to H 76 per week. The hours of wcrk are f r jtn 6 o'clock a. m. until 7 o'c'ock p. m , with interva's for meals. The mi ll rs earn from 75 cents per day down to ai low as 48 cents per day, according to the production, CO cents per day being a high average for the year. The cost of living is as follows: Two rooms in the country and a half acre of ground, $35 70; c'.othing for family, $57.12; fuel, $13 56, taxes, $0. 18; food, $178.7S; schools, books, $4.76; miscellaneous, $4 76. This is one sam ple case. The average expenditure for each memlier of this family is 5j cents per day. They live wholly on bread and vegetables, aud rarely taste meat. In England the same class of woik is paid a little better. Iron workers in rolling mills earn from $3 down to as low as $2.90 per week. Muddlers get as high as $10 14 per week. Forge ham mers get $1.00 per week. In cases where a man has a wife and daughteis who work in a weaving mill, they are able to Uve more comfortably, and have meat once or twice a day, where the only wage-worker is the man the hard ships and privations of life are extreme. Women are put to the coarsest kinds of labor throughout all Europe. They work In the fields and in the factories like men, and often in the mines, and yet their wages are universally lower than those of men. Wanted to Tow star. A we'l-known tug captain in Chicago tells a good story at his own expense, and it is quite amusing, except to the owner of the boat, who pays the coal bills. The boat left here about mid night to go down the lake after a tow. Shortly before daylight the captain es pied a bright light which bore due north from the boat, and about the same time be discovered what be believed to be the lights of several tugs. The first was, to his fancy, that of a vessel, and be believed that the others were bear ing down upon it. He started bis boat in the direction of the drst bright light at a furious speed, seeing in it a chant e to make an early tow. Occasionally he fancied that he could see a red flash, and thus he became more convinced than ever that he was racing for a ves sel. The tug's speed was not slackened for half an h ;ur, yet the light seemed to be no nearer than when she staiUd. The engineer was ordered to "fire no" so often that the boat was more like a hot furnace than a vessel, still the ligi-t was as far du-tantas ever. Presently daylight broke, aud the captain began to look ahead ia eager expectancy, for be believed that he would fee a vessel. Inst -ad however, he saw nothing but a wide expanse of blue waters, radiant with the first glow of the morning sun. Then, and not till then, did he realize that the supposed vessel's light was the glorious morning star. An Old Landmark.

Of course, all the vessels must be filled with water and sprigs of aquatic plants, such as water-cresss, villisneria, or duck-weed, placed in them to keep the water pure. Many kinds of water insects are carnivorous, or prey npou the weaker species. O; course it wou't do to keep these in the same J .r with their victims.
