NEW YORK, Sept. 25. -—Angelioa Hol- land, a professional nurse, who lives at 2472 Eighth avenue, applied to’thexpolioe last night to place her husband, Daniel, under arrest. She said that he ate soap and was crazy. A Warrant was issued for Holland’s ar- rest, and he spent the night in the station house. He begged for soap and coal oil when locked up, saying that he was afilict- ed with chills and fever and that soap and coal oil were a sure remedy. Holland was arraigned in the Harlem police court this morning. While the ex- amination was going on he chOWed on the end of a piece of soap constantly. He seemed delighted when he could work up a lather in his mouth. Mrs. Holland told 'the court that her husband not only had the soap habit, but that he drank all the coal oil he could get hold of. She also said that he often ran away from home and caused her and his children great uneasi- ness. Holland had little to say in defense, ex- cept that he wasn’t crazy, but that his Wife was. He said that he drank coal oil and ate soap because he liked the taste of them and they were a remedy for his ili< Magistrate Kudlich committed Holland to Bellevue hospital to have his sanity ex- amined into.

To make the summer dairy successful may look very simple to one on the out- side of the business. Unfortunately the outside view is shared by many on the inside, and they are conducting sum- mer dairying solely on the manual 13- bor idea. Now it is a fact that summer dairying requires just as much practical knowledge, skill and care as winter dairying, and the man who ignores these points never has made cows pay and never will. The dairyman who draws a monthly check from his factory, a. portion of which is profit, is not enabled to do so simply because he owns cows, butbe- cause he knows how to handle them. For instance. turning cows out to pas ture may be the worst thing you can do for them. You must be sure that there is plenty of grass fer them to eat. or they will be worse off than if tied to a straw stack. The foundation of successful dairying is to keep the cows constantly furnished with all they cap digest of milk giving food. Under this rule good cows are a mint of money, and poor ones will show surprising results. Either bring the amount of pasturage up to the number of your cows, or else reduce the num- ber of your cows to the amount of your pasturage. Anticipate the need of feed several months ahead, and have plenty of fodder corn. Better have too much than too little. I never saw a dairyman yet who put in more fodder corn than he could make use of ; he generally has too little. Another important point is to take care got the milk after you get it. A dairyman must possess an earnest de sire to preserve the milk qualities, or I would not give much for his success in that direction. A half-hearted ,policy. or indifference will almost snrelymesult in spoiled milk. Nearly every dairy- man understands now the routine work that' is necessary to follow 1n preserving milk qualitity on the farm. The iron- his 18 that only a small proportion of them as yet put it thoroughly into prac- tice. Thoroughnessl How much that means in dairy management. If there are 25 thorough dairymen in atown- ship, that is equivalent to 25 successful ones. No man can expect to always have good milk unless he goes through a routine practice of aerating and cooling it every night during the summer. Even if he has plenty of cold running water, he mat not depend entirely on it to the neglect of aeration. By submerging hot milk in cold water. I have known it to develop the most dangerous taint. —— Geo. E. Newell. - A Home-Made Garden Roller. The illustration herewith shows a handy garden contrivance that can be made in a few moments. A section is sawed from a round log, and its surface smoothed. Two round bits of iron rod are driven into the centre of each end, and the roller is ready to take the place of the wheel in the wheelbarrow the latter being unshipped for this purpose. The special value of this arrangement is that no new frame nor handles are need- ed for the roller. and that the barrow can be weighted to give just the pres- sure desired. _ Animals that Suffer Seasicknesl. Human beings are not the only ones that suffer seasickness, by any means. One hears a good deal about pangs that have filled the men and women with woe, but little is said of the menageries broughtto America; every year, or car- ried hither and you in wave tossed boats. Lions and tigers may be majestic when they have unwavering earth or. rOck against their paws, but a seasick cat of these tribes is as forlorn as ever any man ever was, and doesn’t look a. bit more kingly than a wet rabbit. Even its roars and growls have a weeping sound in them quite in keeping with the genei a1 appearance of the ferocious beast. A monkey is as pitiable an object when it is seasick as any other beast so stricken, and its forlorn facial expres-' sion is so human like and the way it clasps its paws across its stomach is so natural that the man who is not seasick necessai ily sees something to laugh at in the misery of tee creature. Not so with the seasick man. If he sees a seasick monkey he is sure to get very mad, thinking the poor thing is mocking him. It takes a dog to be woeful at eye. It has a way of doubling all up, with its tail between its legs and its head hang ing down, that shows a deep seated pain. To free itself the dog goes through all sorts of contortions. It will stretch out on the dock, groan and squeal, sometimes rising on its haunch es and lifting its head and howling long animuserably, as some dogs do at the sound of music. if the Indiana man who founo a gold watch in a can of'tomatoes has any re- gard for the Secretary of Agriculture he will say as little about the afiair as possible. if the story gets into general circulation Mr. Morton will be overrun with applicants for tomato seed of the same variety. How everybody loves scandall If we hear scant-hing good about om- neight but we will like to keep it secret, but as for scheming had. our tongues itch un THE OLD MAID'S BONNET. Remarkable Decorations as a Result of a Trip to the Sea Shore. Brooklyn has 1ightly been called the home of families. Nearly every mar». ried man has a big family in the City of Churches, and he has usually a healthy, wholesome, jolly sort of a wife who has become the Brooklyn type. Ten married women with twenty ba- bies went for their annual dip at Co- ney Island. They started early in . the morning, with luncheons, and had a splendid time all day long. They started for home about 5 in the evening, and all took a. comforta- ble slow-going car, which lazily rolls through Bensonhurst, Bath Beach and other quiet suburban districts. There were on board two import- ant characters, one an old maid with a new bonnet, and the other a. child With a new crab. Every woman in the car and nearly every child promptly went to sleep. Even the conductor, when the motor- , man’s back was turned, took a snooze. The little child with the crab .let loose its grip upon the old tin can where its pet lazily was taking in the sun, and the can rolled over in the car. The old maid who sat next to the child took her bonnet elf and rested it upon the floor of the car on a clean white newspaper. Everybody slept. Just how long, nobody knows. At the upper end of Fulton street the old maid suddenly awoke and put on her bonnet and left the car. As she walked quickly down the street, it was noticed that she had 11' new decoration upon her bonnet, and the baby cried all the way home. Louis Agassiz’s Early Life. The early years of Agassiz read like a fairy tale of incredible achievement. His bent toward natural science showed itself almost in infancy and grow with his growth. At fourteen we find him signing for a list of un- attainable books. Failing to get these be copied whole volumes with the assistance of his brother. His parents, who had destined 'him to a commercial career, were with dif- ficulty induced Ito consent 'to his study- ing medicine. At twenty-three he was not only a doctor of medicine, but of philosophy as well, and the author of a work on Brazilian fishes, which won for him a name among the scien- fist of EurOpe and the personal in- timacy of Cuvier and Humboldt. Au twenty-five he began his career as a lecturer and instructor, and at once demonstrated that extraordinary ability as a teacher and that gift of inspiring enthusiasm in his subject which were such marked characteris ltics of his later years. In 1848 he made his first visit to America, and two years later accepted that profes~ sorship at Harvard which determined the. work of his remaining life. Theatrical Managers To-Day. A vast and disproportionate army of theatrical managers—men whose dar- ing desire is to see their names in two by four letters, and their faces in five colors, on the advertising boards—has sprung up by the opportunity thus af- forded for the exercise of the art of getting something for nothing. By im- perceptible degrees the position of the actor has been entirely changed. Once he was a person who possessed a certain power, and was entitled to a. certain con- sideration. He knew how to act, and what was necessary toward the mak mg 0'of a good play. His opinion was deferred to his judgement sought. The commercial prosperity of the old time agent has. however, made that member arrogant in these regards, and he now no longer defers to the experience of the man who plays. . The latter must conform his conduct to the direction of the box office man,- and much and great is the dissat- isfactibn resulting from this reversal of functions. Not the least important of the dissatisfied parties is the public. It seems; Without knowing why, that there is something wrong with both actor and play,,and it naturally blames the actor. He is the one responsible to it. N 0 agent can represent the actor in his work. If the actor is blameworthy for help- ing to break down the rational organi- zation of the theatre, the manager is equally so for thrusting himself into the actor’s place and presuming to dictate how and what plays shall be performed. Does it not always happen that the pleasing power of any given play or set of plays is referred solely to the actors, and do they net eventually become the actual controllers of the theatre, no mat- ter how assiduously the agent of their work tries to keep his name in print as the head of “my theatre” or of “my company?” ”V .".’ 1 Eli? .
