SupERsrIT1oN.-The village Of Peacedale
was thrown into excitement on Thursday
last, by the report that two graves had been
dug up near Watson's Corner, on the shore
of tho Saugatuck River. The family of Mr.
William Rose, who resids at SauderstoWn,
near the South Ferry, are subject. to con.
sumption, several members of thefamily have
died of the disease, and one member OF the
family is now quite low withit. At the
urgent request of the sick man, the father,
assisted BY Charles Harrington, Of North
Kingston, repaired to the burying ground,
located one mile north of Pcacedale, and, af-
ter building a fire, first dug up the grave
of his son, who had been dead for twelve
years, for the purpose oftaking out his heart t
and liver, which were to be placed in the
fire and consumed, in order to carry out the
old superstitutiun that the consumptive
dead draw nourishment from the living
But as the body was entirely reduced to
ashes, except few bones, it was shortly Gov
cred up, and the body Of daughter who
had been dead seven years was taken out O.
the grave beside her brother. This body
was found to be nearly wasted away, except
the vital parts, the liver and heart" which
we're in perfect state of preservation. !. .The
coffin was nearly perfect, while that of tue
sons was nearly demolished, After the
heart and liver had been taken out, it J was as
nlaced in the fire and consumed, the ashes
only being put back in the grave. ihe hre
was then put out, and the two men departed
to their respective homes. Only few

How to Treat o Horse.

Because when g horse comes in all
wet with perspiration, you let him stand
in the. stable and dry with all the dirt
on. In England, we take the horse as
he comes in from . drive and sprinkle
blood warm water all over him, from biz
head to his feet. Then we scrape him
down and bIsnxet him, rubbing his
face and legs dry. Thus, in an hour he
is clean and dry, and ready 70 take .
good feed, while, in your way, he viii
stand and swelter for hours, and finally
dry, sticky and dirty. Our horses never
founder and never take cold. We never
use a curry-comb. You scratch your
horses too hard. The only cart neces.
sary is to have the water not very cold,
then battle them quick and blanket
them instantly, while you are rubbing
their legs. -NeD Fork Commercial 40

filled with cuts and illustrations which

Domestic Recipes.

SILVER SoAP.-A good article may be
made as follows: Hard soap, s OF. ; tur-
pentine, II or. water, 4 oz. Boil until
perfectly dissolved, and add 8 oz.. liquor
OF ammonia. l- .-f -s'a fafJyuH
CUsrARD WITHOUT EGGs.-Boil q quart
of milk, except q teacupful in which to
put four tablespoOnfuls OF -four. When
it boils put in q very little salt and stir
the -four just as for starch. Add two
tablespoonfuls of sugsr and such spice
as you like. s'- ''i,
To MAKE HARD WArER SorT.-Take
one ounce of fresh lime and stir it we'll
in q bucket of water ; then stir all thor.
oughly in a barrel of water, and as soon
as it settles, the water will be soft
and fit for use, as it will drive impuri.
ties to the bottom. River water, when
muddy, isbetter to drink by this process.
To REMOVE FRECKLEs.-One of the
best lotions we know of is the following:
Mix two tablespoonfuls of grated horse.
radish in . teacupful of sour milk, and
apply frequently with q linen rag. l
To RKxovE TAN.-Mix magnesia in
soft water to the consistency of paste,
which should be spread or the face and
allowed to remain q minute OF two.
Then wash off with CASTLE soap.suds,
and rinse with clean soft water.
How TO Pur Down CucsHBER Pickles.
Take two quarts of molasses to one of
water, or in that proportion. Put in
the cucumbers, fresh from the vines,
adding more molssses' and water as you
fill in. Set them in a warm place, and
in a few weeks they will be sufficiently
sour TO suit any palate. Spices can be
added after they become sour.
To CLEAN KID GLovEs.-Have ready a
little milk in one saucer, some brown
soap in another, and q clean cloth or
towel folded three or four times. Then
take a piece of flannel, dip it in the
milk, and rub the glove downward to.
ward the fingers, holding it firmly with
the lett hand. Continue the process
till the glove, if white, looks of q dingy
yellow, or, if colo I'd, dark and spoiled;
then dry, and Il will become soft and
glossy. s To-
10 KEEP AIEAr.-Meat is much better
for family use when at least one week
old in cold weather. The English
method for keeping meat for some time
has great merit. Experts say, hang up
a quarter Of meat with the cut end up,
being the reverse of the usual way, by
the leg, and the juice will remain in the
meat, and not u to the cut and dry
up by evaporation. 1t is worth q trial,
and when made will be continued.

"A Horrible Death.

"A workman in sash, door and blind
factory. in Chicago, met his death in a
most shocking manner last week. The
unfortunate man was caught by a belt
revolving at the rate of 200 times in a
minute, and after being whirled about
the wheel numberless times, was finally
completely dismembered, the lower por-
ton of the body having been thrown
some distance to one side of the cellar,
while the head and upper part of the
trunkwere hurled againstthe waTlon the
other side. Beneath the pulley a large
hole had been torn out of the, earth by
the body as it was whirled swiftly
around, before it was separated. The.
hand and right arm were torn ont of the
socket at the shoulder joint, and were
still wound up in the fatal belt. Frag-
ments of clothing, shreds of flesh and
clots of blood covered the walls andhung
from the josts and parts of the machinery.
His shoes lay a little distance from the
pulley, where they had been thrown by.
the swiftness of the motion which tore
them from his feet, while pieces Of his
hat and other articles of clothing were
scattered in other directions. The frag.
ments OF the body were. gathered up
carefully by his fellow workmen and
carried to the County Hospital, where
the coroner held an inquest upon them.

A Boy Of Seven Murders q Girl OF Five
Years.

On last Sunday afternoon the people
Of Lexington, Scott county, were horri-
fed at the announcement that a little
son OF. Mr.. Hugh Lotus, of that place,
onlyaeven years old, hsd shot . daugh.
ter of Jerry Chandler, at thetender age
of five years. They were together in q
room at boftus' housey Young Lotus
said he wouldkin the little girl, when
she ran away, but subsequently return
ed, when the young fiend deliberately
took up-A' shot gun and fred, filing the
poor little girls stomach with slugs.
She survived until last Monday, when
she died at about daylight. The above
is substantially what the little girl
stated after the terrible tragedy. A res
ident of Lexington states that it was
not many days previous to this that he
saw young LOTUS in q stable trying to
get the little girl to put her arm under
the blade of the cutting machine, in
order that he might cut it off. This
certainly is the most shocking case. of
a naturally depraved and blood.thirsty
taste We yer recorded, and one that
seems to amount to a monomania.-
