A Narrow Escape,

The Prof. West affair of Dover, Del, is
creating a wide observed sensation.
Vests life being insured for $4,000, it
is said the Insurance Companies will try
to have him acquitted of murder, as, if
he is hung, they must pay the policy to
his widow.
On the day after the murder West was
standing at the door of the new store
under his office. A Mr.. Cullen passed
and spoke to him.
"You have often asked me to drop
into your Office and try your gas; if you
don't object will go now," Mr.. Cullen
said.
West turned the conversation, and, on
Mr.. Cullen's again proposing to visit
the office, said, with very dignified
air: "There are times, Mr.. Cullen, when
l don't admit my dearest friends to my
room."
A short time ago gentleman who
was on intimate terms with West, called
at his office at his request. West had
frequently remarked to this gentleman
that they were of much the same height
and build, ana had urged him to pay
him visit. When the gentleman en-
tered Vests office the latter turned the
key.
Il felt kind of queer" the gentleman
said, "but took seat near the window
On looking round the room l saw big
knife and ii revolver lying on the desk
We talked for some time about the gas
which West was manufacturing. He
asked me to inhale some, but l declined
At last West put his hand on the revol
yer and said, Do you go armedE Ifel
queer again, but put on a bold from
and said lifting up my fist and shaking
it: No, but carry this, and l ain
afraid of any man Now, after tn
murder of this man, Turner, the thinI
comes up all fresh to me, and believ'
that the idea crossed Vests mind @
serving me as he did the unfortunat
man whom he murdered"

An Indians Encounter With Bear.

The sheep -raisers in the lower Califor-
MIA country are waging an incessant war
against their ancient enemy, the grizzly,
and eDdeavoring to make him see the
propriety of keeping to his mountain
Businesses and not interfering with their
tlocks in the valley. Some days ago, a
rancher, whose property lies about eigh-
ty miles south OF Monterey, found tracks
Of a big bear in a canyon near his house,
and as for several weeks past he had
missed number of his sheep, he deter
mined to pursue the robber. He set out,
therefore, with a couple of Indians, one
of whom, name Jose Marko, has the
reputation of being the strongest man
in that portion of the country. They
soon struck Bruins tracks, and followed
them up a side hill thickly covered with
chaparral The Indians were riding a
short distance ahead of the rancher,
when one Of them cried out that he saw
the bear. Jose Marko dashed into the
chaparral, and for a few minutes his
companions lost sight of him. They
rode further up the hill, and, to theil
horror, saw Marko apparently in the
very clutches of huge grizzly. The
ranchero leveled his rifle, but was afrai6
to fire lest his bullet should strike the
man. AS they came nearer the struggle
they saw that Jose had drawn his Ions
knife with his right hand, while he hat
pushed his left so far into the bear
mouth that, although the wrist was be
ing terribly lacerated, still the anima
could not use the full force of his pow
erful jaws. At last straight thrus
reached Bruins heart, and man and brut
rolled over on the ground. The Indial
was badly lacerated, and tainted tn
minute his enemy succumbed. The bea
was one of the largest of the kind eve
killed in that section of the country
Marko was carried home, and Mexican
woman bound up his wounds with he
poultices, which seemed to heal then
rapidly. 1t is doubtful whether he will
ever be able to use his left hand again.

Open Windows at Night.

Very much has been written on this
subject and very unwisely the facts are
that whosoever sleeps uncomfortably
cool will get sick. To hoist window
sky-high when the mercury is at zero is
an absurdity. The colder a sleeping
apartment is, the more unhealthy does
it become, because cold condenses the
carboiic acid formed by the breathing
of the sleeper. IT settles near the floor
and is rebreathed, and if in very con-
densed form, he will die before the
morning. Hence he must be governed
by circumstances. The first thing is,
you must be comfortably warm during
sleep-otherwise you are not refreshed
and Inflammation of the lungs may be
engendered, and life destroyed within a
few days. An open door and an open
fire place are sufficient for ordinary pur-
poses in very cold weather. When outer
windows are opened, it is well to have
inches, and up at the bottom the same
space. In miasmatic localities-and
these are along water-courses, beside
mill ponds, marshes, bayous, river bot
toms, fiat lands, and the like-it is most
mportant-from the first of August
until several severe frosts have been no.
ticed, to sleep with all external doors
and windows closed, because the cool air
of sunset causes the condensation of
poisonous emanations which were caused
by the heat of the monday sun to rise
far above the earth this condensation
makes the air "heavy" at sundown,
made heavy by the greater solidifcation
of the emanations by cold; and resting
on the surface of the earth in their more
concentrated malignant form, they are
breathed into the lungs and swallowed
into the stomach, corrupting and poison
ing the blood with great rapidity. By
daylight, these condensations are made
so compact by the protracted GOODNESS of
the night that they are too near the sur
face of the earth to be breathed into the
system; but as the sun begins to ascend,
these heavy condensations, miasms, begin
to rise again to the height of several
feet above the ground and are freely
taken into the system by every breath
and swallow; hence the hours of sun
rise and sunset are the most unhealthtul
of all the hours of the twenty-four in
the localities named; and noontide,
when the sun is hottest, is the most
healthful portion of the day, because
the miasm is SO much more rarifed that
it ascends rapidly to the upper regions.
The general lessons are Avoid exposure
to the outdoor air in miasmatic locali-
ties for the hours including sunrise and
sunset. Have blazing fire on the
hearth OF the family room at those hours,
to rarity and send the miasm upward.
Take breakfast before going out of doors
in the morning, and take tea before sun
down then being out after night is not
injurious

Practical Joking.

Norwood, and other of the pretty vii
lagos which lie round Sydenham, writes
the London correspondent of the S,oisS
Times, have, during the past few weeks,
become most Objectionable places of res
idence to ladies and children, and even
to nervous men, in consequence of GER
tain freaks Of set of rufhans, who call
themselves gentlemen. These lads,
wrapped in large cloaks, wander about
the highways and byways, sometimes
singly, sometimes in couples, but always
having accomplices near. On the ap-
proach of ladies they suddenly fling open
the cloak and reveal their breast, wholly
covered with blazing phosphorus. The
shock to any one would be great, but to
women and children it is overpowering
and in consequence the towards vino as
sail them have hitherto always been able
to make off before assistance can be pro-
cured 1 am told thatchildren are now
lying dangerously i'll in more than one
house at Beckenham from frights given
them by this new class of ghosts. Tht
gentlemen IN the neighborhood have
taken the matter up in the proper spirit
and their first step has been the issue o
notice announcing to ladies in genera
that if pocket revolver is used whel
these rufians make their appearance, i
is justiiable by the law to shoot then
dead.

Providing for q Party.

Pierre Brot gives us some advice as to
how to provide for an evening party.
He says:
Flowers are also used for decorations.
Petals of red roses put here and there
on certain dishes look well, and may be
eaten.
Judgment and tact may be used to ad-
vantage in making bill for supper.
For instance, if there are more ladies
than gentlemen, have more ice-cream,
Charlotte Russo, chicken-salads, eclairs,
small cakes, candies, bavaroises, milk,
and lemonade; while if the gentlemen
are more numerous, more lobster-salad,
ham, roast beef, sandwiches, boned birds,
tongues, punch, bischof, wines and IL
quors are needed.
The more numerous the dishes, the
smaller they may be. Instead of having
enough boned turkey for fifty persons,
have ham for fifteen, turkey for fifteen,
tongue for fifteen, roast beef for fifteen,
thus catering to every taste. The other
dishes are served in the same proper
ton.
1t is the duty of the mistress of the
house, he tells u.s. to give proper orders
about bread, butter, crackers, coffee, tea,
chocolate, lemonade, orgeat, groseille,
ETC., all of which must be plentiful and
at the disposition of the guests whenever
wanted or asked for. 1t is tho duty of
the host to see to the bischof, punch,
wines, and liquors, which must also be
AZ the disposition of the guests that de-
sire them.

The bikes of Holland,

Holland, in past times, was subjected
to terrible inuhdations. In 1889, eighty
thousand people lost their lives. The
improved system of dikes, introduced by
the Spanish Governor Robles, was the
means of much good, as of late years the
disastrous consequences of an inunda-
tion have been somewhat mitigated
What constitutes dixie is unknown to
many. A. solid foundation is necessary
first, which is accomplished by either
driving down piles, ramming the soil, OF
laying a substratum of clay. The depth
of foundation for sea dixie averages
from one hundred and twenty to one
hundred and fifty feet. The face is Of
clay, and the inner of sand or earth, the
whole sloped from one to thirteen feet
A description of wicker-work filled with
puddled clay, to close the interstices and
render them compact, is placed as kind
of thatch to protect the dixie. Thil
wicker work is renewed every three OF
four years, and its construction give
employment to many people. The upper
part of the dixie rises from twenty -fiv,
to forty feet; and when covered will
turf, forms very good road. The dixie
of Holland are the most wonderful o

sUPPERs FOR TWELVE PERSONS.

THE PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE General
Banks appeared before the House Judici-
airy Committee at Washington and made
an impressive argument on behalf of his
bill to increase the salary of the Presi-
dent to $4,000 per annum, and also in
behalf of his proposition to elect the
President and Vice-President by di-
rect vote of the people, instead of the
intervention of the Electoral College !;
to increase the term of Office to six years,
and to make the incumbent ineligible
for second term. The members of the
Committee generally, while admitting
the force of all that General Banks ad-
vanced, are not inclined, however, to
give this latter subject any serious at
tention the present session. On the pro-
position to increase the Presidents salary
to double the amount now paid, the Com
mittee are much more harmonious, and
have generally agreed to report in favor
of the advance.

DID NOT LIKE IT.--A party of China
men in San Francisco on the first of this
month, apparently disgusted with the
uncertainty attending the results OF
prosecutions in the Mclean courts, or
ganized tribunal for the trial of one
of their compatriots who had been ac
cused of stealing $500 in coin. The
court was held in wash house, and the
prisoner was examined by twisting a
towel about his throat. No testimony
was ELECTED throwing any light on the
disposition of the missing coin; but the
culprit was pronounced guilty and SEN
fenced TO be drowned. The sentence
was promptly carried into execution, as
the court thought, in broad daylight
but the proceeding was witnessed by a
boatman who padded out and with
some difficulty saved the drowning
wretch. The gelf-constituted court is
now in custody charged with attempt to
murder.

EVENING SUITS. Polonaises form
parts of some of the reception and din
ner dresses lately imported, hence these
costumes are called evening suits. The
polonaise is usually of some dark shade
of velvet, while the sleeves and demi-
train are of faille of far lighter shade.
The vest-polonaise is in favor for suits,
and quantity of white lace is the very
effective trimming. A superb costume
of this description has the skirt and
sleeves of faintest sky blue faille, while
the polonaise is velvet of the darkest
sapphire hue. The trimming is she'll
like iabots of white Valenciennes lace.
Another suit is silk of the pale, creamy
Ophelia tint, with polonaise of golden
brown velvet. White point duchesse
lace founces, with crimson roses and
brown foliage, are the garniture.

POE TR Y.
BEAUTIFUL "ILE" OF THE SEA.

We walked by moonlight on he bea-h,
Where dimly white the lighthouse stood,
And far as mortal eye could reach
Beheld the ghostly vessels brood.
Mt hand tho sea, with scarce a sound,
just met and kissed the silent shore,
And rippling back laid all around
swaying amothystine floor.
At last the sea-gull's cIy was stlled,
Aud, save our quickly coming breath.
And dip of waves, the night was filed
With silence infinite as death.
And here we walked and swCre to be
True as the tranquil Evening Etr
That, yonder rising. softly threw
Its mellow, melting light afar.
But, while VIC gczcd that beaming orb,
Fair rs the pnrcst dream of love.
Palcd TO our sigh t, until it huraed
Naught but She mercst spark above.
With sudden terror we boheld
This wondrous quonching IN the sky,
And, as the last CLEAN hickorcd out,
Asked of our fears the reason why.
What time thore came an awful voice,
Making cur hearts stand still the while
"Why, durn the blasted wick, it's dry,
And dang it we are out ofl.e."
Since then we've walked on Watch Hill beach
At various times but always we
Now take telescope along,
And likewise an Astronomy.

Edwin Forests Will.

Mr.. @. Edwards Lester, friend of
Mr.. Forrest, being requested by that
actor short time since to call upon him,
had occasion to know that Mr. Forrest
had made final disposition of isestate
and effects in the following manner -
Mr.. Forrest, this gentleman AYERS, then
stated that he had left all he possessed
in the world, even to his library and his
wardrobe, for an actors home as lyceum
of art, which should be sustained in
Philadelphia as perpetual theatre that
he had made over to the Corporation of
Philadelphia sixty acres of ground with
in the limits of that city for the benefit
of decayed and disabled actors and ac-
tresses that this perpetual school OF art
should be maintained for the education
of the American people in elocution, and
that the ground in question was free
Mr.. Forrest showed Mr. Lester the will
explained the conditions of it, and stated
that there should be few millions OF
dollars set apart for the support of the
institution which he intended to endow
Mr.. Forrest further declared that he had
been thinking of this project for long
time, and had been making provision fol
it for more than thirty-fve years that
he had chosen proper trustees for the
execution of the will that the idea was
not a new thing with him, but an old
love of his life; that there should be in
America a home for those who had re,
tired from the stage after having honor,
ed the profession. Mr.. Forests desire
was that the institution should be SC
amply endowed that there could be nc
question before the Courts about the
title, nor by anybody in reference to the
motive that prompted this lifelong feel
ing of our great actor.
