A Sad Tragedy.
JLast Saturday evening two sons of Mrs.
Booth,, Ashby and George with a sou of Mr.
Sum Brown named Ervin, were playing with
an unloaded pistol, ina room at Mrs. Booth's.
There was a loaded pistol on the raantlepiece,
and in some way Ervin got hold of it, think
ing it was unloaded, and snapped itat Ashby,
sending the bullet into his brain. The ball
struck A sor 's head just back of the ear, and
passing upwards aud forwards peuetrated the
skull n?ar the top of the head. He lived,
though unconscious, until the next afternoon.
An investigation by tbe Coroner brought to
light tbe above facts.
Mrs. Booth is almost crated with grief and
is in a very critical condition.

An Important Case Decided.
We are glad to seefrom the clipping below,
that Mrs. Keels has been successful jn ber suit.
"The case of Mrs.'SalHe L.'Keels Vs: the
Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association of New
York was finished in the United States Court
yesterday evening, after a trial of two days.
The jury, after a short ;absence, brought ina
verdict of ten thousand two hundred and
thirty-three dollars for the plaintiff. Tbe
company resisted payment ,- . ,.the ground
that Major Isaac Keels of Sumter" bounty, the

The-^uikb Cured
Tec years ago Mrs. Ada Martin, of
BronsoD, Michigan, broke her left leg
and paralysis of 'th?' "limb and loss of
speech followed. For some years past
she found pleasure in making crazy
qailts, sending to eminent persons for
bits of cloth for the patches. Among
others sbc sent to President Cleveland,
who sent a patch and a neat letter.
Mrs. Martin received, tbe letter-and was
so pleased that she attempted to rise,
and in so dotDg knocked her.son's re
volver off o?f a stand near- by. The
pistol was fired by tbe fall, the ball
passed through Mrs. Martin's paralyzed
leg-, jhe shock restored ber speech, and
apparently the leg will be all right
again after the pistol shot wound heals.
How to Keep the Weevil
Out of Peas*
The weevil never enters the seed
after they are ripe and harvested.
Whatever insects will attack them are
already inside of the seeds. .when
they are harvested. Take tfie pea
weevil, for example ; soon after the
blossom withers and the little pod is
forming, the parent weevil lays her
:?gg- or eggs on the outside of this
young -and tender pod. The eggs
soon hatch, and the little grubs eat
their way through the shell and
into the fotming seed. In the case
of the pea, there is usually but one
grub in each ; while in the bean
there are oiten as many as a dozen.
The grub of the pea-weevil grows
with the pea, and by the time the
seed is mature the grub will be full
grown, and has formed a pupa in
which it will remain dormant until
spring approaches. The pea seed
when hai vested may each contain a
weevil, which the careless obsetver
may not notice. By planning time
these will have awakened from their
sleep and the seeds will be full of
weevils. All devices to keep the
weevils out of the peas are of no
use, as they are already in them
when harvested. But we can and
should kill the weevils before they
escape from the peas, to prevent
their increase. Placing the seed
peas in a tight- jar or box w?tfc-a
little spirits of turpentine is one of
the most effective methods. While
we cannot keep the weevils out of
peas we can kill them while they are
iu th m. Buggy peas will usually
grow, as the grub does not injure
the embryo plant. But the food
provided for the young pea plant
has been eaten, and the plants from
such seeds will be weaker, and con
tinue to be less vigorous and pro
ductive. It will be far better to
burn the buggy peas and buy a fresh
lot. ?American Agriculturist for
