1\ i:id son Logan, who live
the street, were called by Mr-
hltt. and hastened to the scent
found Mr. Douthitt lying on ti
where he had fallen, and in his right
hand was grasped a revolver, which,
however had not been ti rod.
The wounded man was attended by
several physicians, and everything
done for his comfort which was pos-
sible. lie was attended by a train-
ed nurse, and for a time seemed to lie
improving, but it was discovered thai
his intestines were parallzed. and his
life has hung in a balance for several
weeks. The immediate cause of his
death, ik'explained by Dr. Field, who
has been attending him, was inani-
tion. which means thai his digestive
organs refused to act. and he starved
to deal h.
Mrs. Douthitt was arrested on a
warrant sworn to by a brother of the
wounded man, a'nd on having a pre-
liminary examination, was released
on bail, her condition being such "i;lt
confinement in the county jail would
have lieen a cruelty. Some weeks af-
tcr the shooting, a reconciliation was
effected between husband and wife,
and ii is understood that Mr. Dout-
hitt made a statement, which is now
in the hands of both the county at-
torney and her attorney, completely
exonerating his wife in the matter, so
that it is probable that there will be
on prosecut ion.
Mrs. Douthitt's story has, it is be-
lieved. lieen entirely corrobertaed by
the statements made bv her husband
This story was to the effect t hat Mr.
Douthitt wished to dispose of a cer-
tain piece of property which lie own-
ed. and his wife refused to sign the
deed. On this Sunday, afternoon,
when Mr. Douthitt returned from
down town, lie asked his wife to sign
the deed. She refusing todoso.be
became very angry, and said. "I'm
going out lo milk, and when I come
in. if you are not ready to f^igh that
deed. I will kill you." Mr. Douthitt
was very much, alarmed, and armed
herself with a revolved. Mr. Dout-
hitt returned to the house, and upon
his wife still refusing to sign the
deed, drew his revolver, but before he
hid discharged it. Mrs. Douthitt had
tired iho three shots into bis body,
which were the real cause of his
deat h.
Douthitt was born in texas, and was
forty-eight years of age. He leaves
four children, the youngest a baby,
burn early this fall.

Trade <)pport unit ies in < 'liina. The
vast opportunities ottered for the ex-
tension of foreign trade iu the great
inpire of China is already having its
effort on the imagination of those in-
terested. Estimates of the value of
orders that China is now in a position
to give put it at fabuious sums: as a
matter of fact, one part of China, the
southeast, with an area of+,000,000
square miles, would demand a railroad
network of 180,410 miles, of which
Germany, England, France, Belgium
and the United States would con-
struct 37,282 miles each, work worth
$1,428,000,000 would fail to each one
of these counties. There would he a
demand for at least 50,000,000 tons of
steel and iron, an order large enough
when property divided, to aid in keep-
ing the world's iron and steel indus-
tries profitably employed for fifty
years. It Is hardly necessary to take
the trouble to prove estimates of this
kind. For even if one makes allow-
ances for overestimates, there is still
enough to warrant hopes expressed,
ltailyoads are not the only works that
give promise. There are other great
transportation systems, such as tele-
graph wires and poles to he erected,
bridges to be built, rivers,to be regu-
lated, bars in rivers and harbors to he
removed, and hundreds of public
works that will need foreign mater-
ials, many of which can never be car-
ried out unless by the aid of foreign
machinery. There is a great oppor-
tunity.

Tlie Word "Marmalade."
The word "marmalade" is apparently
derived from the I'ortuguese r.iamielo,
a "quince," which, again, is 11-0111 mid-
l.atin maloiiielluni, Greek melinelou,
"honeyapple," or "sweet apple, 'llie
word is at least as old as the reign ot
Henry VIII. The following sentence
occurs in a letter from that monarch:
"He most heartily thanketh her good
ladyship for her marmnrlo," .which hy
a comparison of other letters was ap-
parently made of qiiiuces.
Aline Basset, l.udy hisle s daughter,
gives the name "codiniac" to her moth-
er's dainty. Her letters giving the ac-
count of the presentation of the said
marmalade to the king and relating
how he desired a repetition ot the
same as soon as might be have been
printed more than once.—I'eal'son's.
PKOPtK WAY TO WALK.
Aiiininm Which Barely Ilrlnk.
Naturalists have discovered many
animals which seem to need no water
or which drink only at rare intervals.
There Is a certain breed of gazelles
which never drink, and the llamas of
Patagonia live for years without tak-
ing water. There is a particular class
of cattle near I.osere, in France, that
rarely touches water, but in spite of
this fact these cattle give milk of a
rich quality, from which excellent
cheese is made. Many naturalists have
tin' theory that hares do not drink or
that water is not a necessity for them,
and that the dew oil the grass is suf-
ficient for their needs.
Sir Andrew Clark'n Antiorlnnl*.
The late tfir Andrew Clark, who was
.Mr. Gladstone's physician, made use of
the three following aphorisms during a
couvemation with Miss Frances Wil-
lard: "Labor is the life of life." "Kase
is the way to disease." "The highest
life of an organ lies in the 'idlest dis-
charge of its functions." There is 11
feast of food for reflection in these
three sentences.
& Physical Instructor Oive* Ailvlec
on tlie Subject.
The waj to walk straight is not to
think of the Hhoultlers at all, says a
physical instructor. Hang your arms
loosely at your sides and hold your- i
Belf erect by moderate tension of the
back and abdominal muscles and the |
muscles of the neck. Then your shoul-
ders will have to hang right.
Don't "throw out" your chest. The
clx'st that is Inflated properly by deep
breathing is bound to be thrown out,
and thrown out not like that of a
stuffed tigure. but naturally, because
it can't help it.
Don't walk with a stiff neck. Hold
ynur head erect the way an animal
does. Watch a deer. Its neck is al-
ways in motion, yet it is always held
beautifully. Your head poised on a
stiffly held neck is no good for either
balancing or looking around you. Pois-
ed confidently on stroug but pliant
neck muscles, it becomes what a head
should be.
Many classes of men who do much
walking, such as Indians, guides and
trappers, walk with their bodies in-
cline.! forward a little bit. Hut they
don't round their shoulders or stoop
their heads. They incline forward
from the hips. This throws their
weight a little ahead and gives the log
musclcs the chance to exert all their
power in the best directions. But the
upper body is never bent by these men.
It sii.iply is held forward from the
hips at a very slight, barely percepti-
ble. angle.
Even if correct poise i:i walking had
nothing to do with other forms ot
athletics it would i <• invaluable in it-
self. The man who walks ri.;ht is
in ,r to keep his or^an—heart, kidneys,
liver and lui:-> in splendid form. I'r.t.
l.-rsir.cs all this. U helps wonderfully
in Jiil outdoor sports.
