Hints to Gas Conaumsrs,

Almost everybody hereabOuts uses
gas, and almost everybody makes COM
plaint In one way or another, either con-
centng the quality, the quantity, the
price, or something else. The following
advice may be simultaneously followed
by those, who use the illuminating va
por:
l. If your burners are Of common
fish-tail or bat-WiHg form, you will OBJ
serve in the center of the blaze a dark
spot of UncOnsumed gas; if this dark
shadow extends to the top of the blaze.
there is more gas rushing through un-
constituted than what IS really piviuos
light, Turn down the gas until She
shadow IS within half an inch Of the
blaze, and you will have a steadier. bet
ter light, aud viii burn ali the gas regis
tered in the meter: but neglect this rule
and the meter will register twice as fast
under the pressure, and You will pay for
what you do not burn.
2. Alta certain hour Of the uiVhf
when churches, halls and stores. turn
of their gas, the pressure is Increased
all over that district of the city; watch
your burners, and reduce the pressure
once more.
5. If you have burners in chambers
and in the kitchen, and in the servants
rooms, instead Of regulating the pressure
at the burners, take the trouble 10 regu-
late it at the meter so as to allow each
burner only 50 much blaze al u certain
hour, even It the burners are turned on
full blast,
1. Don't think it too much trouble 10
turn otfthe gas every nightatt the meser.
Us this stops leakage all over the hous,
between the meters and burners. NTOrr
gas Is paid for which Is lost BY leakage.

EIderKuapp on Swearing.

Elder Knapp is not avcrse to having
it understood that he may be regarded
as a sort OF consulting physician for sick
souls when the original family doctor
finds that his pharmacy has lost its ef-
ficacy. In one of his recent raids on the
arCh-eUemy of souls he selected as being
especially fit subjects for animadversiO1
the prOfane sWearers; and this is the wav
in which he went for them.

Miss. LYDIA WHITE had two lovers
Tom Green and Willie Jones.
Both were good looking, well-to-do
young mechanics, and both loved her
devotedly, if their own vehement asser-
tiOns could be credited. Lydia was in
something Of a dilemma concerning
them.
She had no particular preference for
either of them, but she wanted to be
married sometime, and Mr.. White was
opposed to long courtships, and Aunt
Jane kept assuring her that the bed and
table linen would get yellow with being
packed away in the bureau so long; and
she also took frequent opportunities Of
remarking that none of her girls ever
was single after they had reached the
age Oh elghteen-nO, not q minitv
And as Lydia counted her years four
more than eighteen, of course this insin-
uation of Aunt James cut deeply.
Lydia turned the matter over serious

self, pro and con, which she should take,

she had indulged in gorgeous dreams of

NOCTURNAL MYSTERY.
BY AN OLD SOLDIER.
EDITED BY WILLIAM SAWYER,


1t is Il good many Years since, having
returned from the West Indies with my
regiment, was stationed at what was
called the Royal Arsenal, down the riv-
or, near the Plumstead Marshes. The
Arsenal consisted Of a number Of out
houses full of government stores. The
Thames flowed OH one side Of il, a canal
running inland for a distance of 500
yards Oh another. On the remaining
sides, the Arsenal was accessible from
the marshes. 1t was always guarded
day and night by a military stationed
there, and this formed the chief part of
our duty.
One cold, raw night in November,
was on what was called the mash guard,
which consisted of seven men Besides
myself, We had two sentries, one sta
toned AT the guard-rOOni door and one
down at the lOCk-gates of the canal
The weather was very trying, with its
TaWnesS and dampneSs, to Us who had
so recently come back from the West In
dies, and the remainder of the guards
sat round the fire in tile guard-room, en-
tertaining one another with tales Of their
exploits and adventures. The conversa-
ton turned upon sharks, rememNer |
and good many stories were told, mos
Of them deriving their main interest, in |
the eyes of the narrator, from his being !
the hero of what he had to relate.
"Talking Of sharks,N said one of the 1

A wlSo who wa. BADLY sola.

The Nord relates the following incl
dent which has happened at FeSsingue,
I'm Holland: "a wife, exasperated by
the continual drunkenness other hus-
band, threatened him with death.
Some days ago she attempted to put this
threat into execution. There was but
an attic above the sitting room. ma
this she ascended, made a hole i'm the
floor and passed rope through IT. one
end Of which fell in the room below.
while the other remained fastened i'm
the attic She then descended, made n
slip-knOt la the rope, and awaited her
husbands return. He at last arrived,
and was much surprised 10 receive
no repruaches on his bad conduct

he felt rope pass around his neck: he
then understood the little trick that was
to be played, but did not move. His
wife went up to the attic, and, taking
advantage Of this moments respite, the
drunkard relieved himself Of his rope
and fastened il TO the foot of the stove,
which soon went up to the ceiling with
frightful noise, caused by the fall of
some crOckery which was standing up
on it. The wife, thinking the noise was
caused by the fruitless struggle Of her
husband, ran to the police office to de-
clare that she had found her husband
hung. The police arrived in hot haste,
and candle was lighted, when ali
started back at the specticle that presen-
ted itself. The stove was swinging
in space, and the husband sat
gravely smoking his pipe. Instead Of
suicide, an attempt to murder was es-
tablished against the wife, who was ar
rested. -
