ACCOUNT OF TWO FORMER AS-
SASSINA'TIONS,
new Theile American Presidents
/,issue to Their Untimely
End,
Thee are few pages in history more
drainetio thiel those which toll the
story of President Lincoln's assassine
ation. Oe the lmuatee of the Presi-
dent's box et the theatre on the eve-
ning of April 14, 1$65, the Presi-
dent died; the beeenvenont drove his
loving wife insane; Maier leatlrbone
drat mut bred his wife and then com-
neleted suiclde; Booth wet trapped in
a burning, barn and shot like e, dog.
Joint Wilkes Booth, an actor of in,
different capacity, blit ,of engaging
manners and personal appearance,
was a fanatical secessionist, and had
imbibed a furious spirit a. partlzau-
sliip against Lincoln, 31e, and his
smell coterie of accomplices, fh'st de-
termined to abduct the President.
That plan was sticicienly renounced,
Early on the afternoon of April
le, 1865, ,Routh learned that the
President would Intend x'ord's thea-
tre, Washington, that evening, He
immediately vlsleed his confederates
with whom lie arranged the whole
Plan of atfacieaund escape.
A few minutes before ten he called
one of the underlings of the theatre
to the back door, and left him there
holding his horse. Ile• entered the
theatre, and passing rapidly through
the crowd in the rear of the dress
circle, made his way to the passage
which led to the President's box, He
enteredso noiselessly that not one of
the occupants was aware of his pre-
senco. Their eyes were fixed upon the
stage, where "Our American Qousin"
was being presented,
TBL AWFUL TRAGEDY.
Not one, not even the comedian on
the stage, could ever remember the
last Eines of the piece uttered that
night. They : were the last words
Abrahammkrcoln heard upon earth,
lIolding a pistol in one hand, and a
knife' in the other, Booth opened the
box door, put the pistol to the Pres-
ident's head,and fired. He'then cast
aside the pistol, and took the knife
in his right hand.�lfajor Rathbone,
who sprang upon hien, was deeply
wounded in the arm.
Tho audience was transfixed with
horror. Rooth 'rushed forward, plac-
ed his hand on the railing of the boa
and vaulted lightly 1,o the stage. His.
spur caught in the drapings, and he
fell to the floor, his leg broken. In-
stantly, however, as if he had re-
ceived no hurt, he roso to his feet,
and, brandishing his bloody knife;
turned to the audience.
"Sic Scalper Tyrannis!" ho cried,
and fled rapidly across the stage out
of sight.
Major Robertson shouted, "Stop
hire t ' Others suddenly realizing
what the tragedy meant, cried out,
"Ile has shot the President," All
were at first 'stupid with surprise,
then wild with excitement and hor-
ror. Three men jumped to the stage
and dashed off in pursuit of the as-
sassin. It was impossible to over-
- take him, however, for Booth tan
through familiar passages,. while. to
his pursuers they were intricate and.
unknown.
Lincoln had received the bullet in
the back of his head, on the left
side. It passed through the brain
and lodged in the left eye. Such a
wound would have meant instant
death to a weaker man, but Lincoln
lingered on, though always uncoil -
seines, until 22 initiates after seven
fa the morning.
1300TH WAS COURAGEOUS.
Up to , the moment of his death
Booth displayed the greatest courage.
At every jump, as he galloped from
the theatre, the bre:en bone tore
- through the flesh. For ten days he
"'wandered from place to place, pro-
tected by Southern sympathizers.. Ho
was at last cornered in Garrett's
been. He repelled the demand of
surrender contemptuously, and,
though deserted by his companion,
Herold; remained in the barn alter it
was fired. Ho was saved from a
worse death by being shot through
the bead.
Throughout Booth regarded his
decd as 0 righteous one, and was
grievously disappointed, at the gener-
al denunciation of the crime. He,
at any rate acclaimed himself as a
hero, and thought the world unveor-
thy of him.

leleARING FlEIFEIRS,.
Some attention :lay well be paid
to the selection of heifer calves,
Writes Mr, F. S. Cooley, These of
very small elm, weak or seriously
defective have no place in your herd,
Wo are aCoustdamed to have much re-
gard to the parentage, and wo do
well ; but no less attention. is due
to tine young heiferherself. The

the (felt. At no period can growth
be more eeonolntertlly secured than
tlur'ing ca.lihogti, Only choice regis-
tered calves are roared on whole
milk as a rule, and it is doubt-
ful if it will pay tq use whale milk
for 00m1100 stock where a cheaper
substitute is available. A setback
during the first few weeks is hard
to overcome aftevlvlu'ds. .breeding a
little whole milk in the ration dur-
ing the first month is one of the
best ways of insuring against set-
backs.
My practice of rearing calves has
been to separate the calf from its
dam after the first"full meal. It is
taught -to drink and fend on its mo-
ther's milk for a week, in moderate
feeds twice a day. Warm separator
milk is gradually substituted diming
the emend week, until it forms al-
most the entire teed. About 1 qt
new milk per day is fed till the end
of the first month. Two feeds daily.
are given, always -waren and never
excessive in amount ; but three feeds
per day would be hetet.. Calves
are taught to eat dry grain after
two weeks old and given ad libitum
a mixture of corn meal.. oil meal,.
bran and ground oats in about equal
harts. Ccar'se forage—hay, silage or
grass—is always supplied to rho
extent of the 'calf's appetite. The
horns aro removed by the use of
caustic potash duringthe first two
weeks, thus securing the benefits of
dehorned cows without"9isfigurement
or trouble.
While calves grow faster in almost
complete eonlhInt:nlent, a hardier and
more rugged cow results where they
have doily exercise_ in yard or pas-
ture. The feed of skimmilk is con-
tinued during most` of the first year
if thesupply does not 1011 'short.
At all events, growth must be kept
rapid by liberal fending, ,until the
heifers are sent off to pasture. here,
again, it is poor economy to keep
stock on short feed. A stunted
growth is a great loss to the breed-
er.
During the second winter heifers
receive a small feed of the grain
mixture given to the milking stock,
consisting of glutten feed, and cot-
tonseed or other concentrate, corn
meal and bran. Tho main thing is
to keep growth active. Size in a
dairy cow adds much to• her value,
either in the dairy or sale ring.
Breeding should not take place
until after the heifer is 18 months
old. Some of the best cows l have
seen were allowed to reach two years
old before being bred. It is signifi-
cant that sonio beef breeders do not
receive for registry as pure-bred
calves from pure-bred parents where
the dam is under 27 months o,d at
the time of calving, Breeding too
young detracts much from the use-
fulness of heifers. .
'Young cows require to be liberally
fed. It must be borne in mind that
the two-year-old cow has not only
to yield milk but also complete . her
growth. If concentrates are with-
held at this time, on the mistaken
notion that they are injurrus to
young cows, not only is her milk
flow lessened, but she is hindered
from reaching her most useful de-
velopment. it may not be desirable
to crowd young heifers with heavy
feed, but when they milk deeply
there must bo the material to supply
the drain just as 'well as in nature
cows.

GARFIELD'S MURDER.
It was on July 2nd, 1881, four
mottles after his inatrgu•ation, that
Garfield was shot by Charles Gufteau
a half -crazed aspirant for ofllco.'
As General Garfield and his secre-
tary of state, J. G. Blaine, arm in
arm, were entering the B. and A. de-
pot at Washington, two pistol shots
were fired; one passing through Gar -
field's coat -sleeve, the other through
his body. He fell to the floor and
was borne to the White Rouse.
Through four long months the na-
tion prayed and hoped, and agonized
for the life of its beloved President.
He was taken to New Jersey. He
Scorned to revive, when he looked out
upon the sea, wlticlt he had longed
for in his boyhood. The nation took
heart, but two weeks later, at 35
minutes past ten, on September 193
the President passed from an uncoil-
6010u5 state to the consciousness of
immortality. As he put his hand up-
on his bean he said to General
Swain,, ivino stood beside him, "r
feel a pain hove." Those were his
last words.

EGYPT AND THE SOU•DAN.
Austro-Hungarian Report Speaks
of British Success.
g >
The followinstatement respecting
the results of British rule in Egypt
and the Soudan, is from the Austro-
Hungarian official report, will be
read with interest —
"Tlte sucr:ess attained by the nog -
lista Government in its administra-
tion of Egypt is brilliantly mani-
fested in :tiniest every department
of its economic development and
Public life. A country whose fin-
ancial' position was utterly shattered
and whose resources. Were well-nigh
exhausted in the eighties has, thanks.
to the present Administration, now
become a prosperous State, with a
satisfactory bafanco of trade, sound
finances, increasing production, and
the fairest prospects for the future.
Its industry is developing, although
in this direction Egypt will never be
able to compete with Europe, The
future of the country lies in the fer-
tility of its soil, the cultivation of
evjniele is being extended year by year
by means of costly irrigation works
which connectlarge areas intofertile
fields. The results thus attained are
very remarkable. Tho cultivated
ground subject to taxation, which
only amounted to 4,175,000 'fed-
dans' in 1880, had reached about
6,000,000 'feddans' in 1900, During
the last ten years the land tax, the
principal source of revectue of the
Egyptian Government, was gradually
.diminished' in annualinstalments by
a sum of L563,000, and ,yet the pro-
ceeds remain at about the same
figure as in 18801 Tho production
has increased about fifty per cent in
consequence of the systematic annual
irrigation. There has also been
great progress in the development of
communications, which is promoted
by the Government. Numerous rail-
ways have been constructed, includ-
ing some electric lines, as a means
of facilitating the transitort of cot-
ton and communication DI the country
districts. Post and telegraph offices
have likewise been erected, and even
the telephone
HAS BEEN INTRODUCED.
"Unfortunately the administration
of the Soudan, whose economic po-
sition is for the moment very un-
satisfactory, is a heavy financial
burden upon the Government. But
there, too, the Administration is
very active in introducing reforms
with the object of elevating the
moral and intellectual standard of
the population and improving their
economic condition. . . It will
probably require a considerable time
to heal the wounds inflicted upon
the Soudan by Dervish rule. At pre-
sent its 'condition is precarious.
Owing to the maladministration of
the Dervishes whole districts are de-
populated, and consequently the cul-
tivation of the soil suffers from a
lack of labor. leer the same reason
there is great confusion in the owner-
ship of the laud, which the/ Govern-
ment bas not yet been able to m-
elody. The difficulty of providing
:or irrigation is also a serious ob-
stacle to the development of agricul-
ture, . . The Government is
nuking energetic efforts to improve
the condition of the inhabitants.
Great consideration is shown in the
collection of taxes, from which land
that is not irrigated is quite ex-
empt. With the object of encourag-
ing agriculture the Government has
tentatively begun to purchase the
crops raised by the fcllahs. Special
commissions have been appointed for
the regulation raid establishment of
titles•to real property in town and
country. These commissions settle
the questions at issue on the spot.
The continuous possession of a piece
of ground for five years is regarded
as sufficient evidence of title. The
prohibition to grow tobacco.' .
has been withdrawn. An experiment
in colonization has been carried out
in the districts along the Blue and
White Niles with two disbanded Sou-
dauese battalions. . but even so
soon as this there is a considerable
improvement in the condition of af-
fairs in the Soudan. Tranquility
prevails throughout the country,
and there has been an important de-
cline in the price of provisions.”
CAUSED BY AN IMPURE CON-
DITION 01' THE BLOOD.
If Neglected They Will Grow Worse

low—Rheumatism Can be Per-
manently Cured.
From the Telegrn:ph, Quebec.
Rheumatism is one of the most
001111non turd at the sametime one of
the most painful -affections from
which humanity suffer. It affects the
joints 'nand muscles, and is charactcr-
bsed, even In its simplest form, by a
dull constant pain. While it remains
in the joints and muscles, it is suf-
ficiently painful and distressing, but
-asit is liable to attack the vitalor-
gans, such as the heart, the disease
becomes a source of danger, and in
many instances it has proved fatal.
Dr. Williams' Pink fills possess
qualities for the cure of this disease
which are unequalled by any other
medicine. Mr. Cyrus Lomond, ' a well
known resident of Stadacona, Que.,
bears testimony to the wonderful
curative powers of these pills. To a
reporter of the Telegraph, he .gave
the following story:—"Until some
three years ago i always en-
joyed the best of health, but about
that time I was attacked with what
proved from the outset to be a se-
vere case of rheumatism, from which
I suffered great torture. I tried 'a
number of the supposed cures for this
disease, but none of 'them benefited
me. 1 seemed to be constantly grow-
ing worse, so 1 called in a physicintt,
but as his treatment did not give
me relief, 1 sought the assistance of
two other doctors, but they also
failed to help me. My appetite loft.

away; one of my legs was drawn out
of shape, and I was never free from
pain. I was in despair of ever being.
well again, when one day a relative
brought me' a box of Dr. 'Williams'
Pink Pills and urged me to take
them...I3e seemed to have such great
confidence in the pills that I deter-
mined to follow his advice. To -day I
nm happy that. I did so, for with the
use of less than a dozen boxes of
these pills the pain from. which 1 suf-
fered to much is all gone, and I feel
stronger and healthier 'than I did be-
fore This I owe to Dr. lVillianis'
rink Pills, and I would strongly
urge similar sufferers to give them a
trial."
Experience has proved Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills to be without an
equal as a blood builder and nerve
restorer. IL is this power of acl'.ing
directly on the blood and nerves that
enables these pills to cure such dis-
eases as rheumatism, sciatica, neu-
ralgia, locomotor ataxia, paralysis,
and all the ordinary diseases of the
blood and nerves. These pills aro
sold by all dealers in medicine, or

To prevent nsecls front getting

IN TRIS ADVANCED DAV,

(Special)—The
0.(Special)—The following letter was
written by a well-known and highly
respected lady of this place, being a
'copy of the original sent to the
Dodd's Medicine Company, of To-
ronto.
"When I wrote you for some
Dodd's Kidney Pills .I was so dis-
couraged that I had no hope of be-
ing able to find any remedy to save
my life. I Buttered with Bright's
Disease, Heart Disease and Rheuma-
tism, and I was much bloated also
with Dropsy. I eves so feeble that
I was unable ' to do anything. I
suffered for sixteen years with Rheu-
matism. There were two years and
a half that I suffered with Bright's
Disease. 1 have tried all the reme-
dies, in the world and always grew
worse and worse.
"There. was one time when for
three months I. abandoned all any
remedies and resolved to let myself
die without taking any medicine. I
received by chance one of your . al-
manacs and a paper. I react them
and I decided to write you and try
again with your remedy.
"Great was ray surprise at the
good that Dodd's Kidney Pills'gave
me with the first. box you sent. I
took them and my hettltln was great-
ly improved. Since then I have
taken twenty boxes. I am cured of
my Bright's Disease, my Heart Dis-
ease and my Rheumatism. I have
still two boxes to take and by the
time I have finished them I shall be
in perfect health. I will permit you
to publish this letter with pleasure,
and I hope later to givo you facts
of my recovery more completely
than at present. I am still weak,
but with time I shall bo as strong
as ever. I recommend Dodd's Kid-
