them by gangways, along which the
water poured into the Kidder shaft to ex-

Tampico, H., was visited by a tornado on

No person was killed, but several were severe

The Wisconsin railroads have adopted the
practice of requiring prepayment of fares
before admitting passengers upon their trains,
the object, it is said, being to prevent the
three-cent-per- mile rides, which were becom-
ing too frequent. In regard to the appIica-
ton for an injunction to restrain the Railroad
Commissioners and the Attorney General
from enforcing the Railway law, and the Chi
cago Y Northwestern Railway Company from
complying with its provisions, it is stated that
the case was postponed until day not fixed,
and the fact that the Court entertained the
motion and declined it is equivalent in its
effect to temporary injunction, and no fur
ther proceedings would be taken by
those officers until a decision on this point
had been given. The time and place
of hearing viii depend partly upon the pres
ence of Judge Drummond, and mainly upon
the arrival of Judge Davis, of the United
States Supreme Court, who is expected to sit
with Judges Drummond and Hopkins II
will probably be heard in Madison in the
third week in June.

A USEFUL SoAP.-The following is COM
mended by those who have tried it for
scrubbing and cleansing painted floors,
washing dishes, and other household pur-
poses: Take two pounds of white olive
soap and shave it in thin slices; add two
ounces of borax and two quarts Of cold
water; stir all together in a stone or earth
en- jar, and let it stand upon the back of
the stove until the mass is dissolved. A
very little heat is required, as the liquid
need not simmer. When thoroughly
mixed and cooled it becomes of the con
sIstence of thick jelly, and piece the
size of cubic inch will make lather for
gallon Of water.

New Houses.

THE coincidence Of a mans moving
into a new house and dying soon after
has frequently been a subject of remark,
and there is an avoidable cause.-the house
moved into before the walls and plaster
and the wood are sufficiently dried.
Sometimes the cause of death is the
poisonous character of the water con-
veyed through new lead pipes. No water
for drinking or cooking purposes should
be used in building supplied with new
lead pipes, in whole or in part, for at
least one month after the wafer has been
used daily; this gives time for protect
ing coating to form on the inner surface
of the pipes, when their chemical change
from contact with water generally ceases
But the damp materials of the house
have the most decided effect, especially
on persons over fifty years old or Of frail
constitutions; whereas if the person were
in the full vigor of life and health not
even an inconvenience would be expert
enced.
In building new house, or on going
to live in another locality where the water
supply is not far from the house, it should
be ascertained with the utmost certainty
that the spring or well is higher than the
privies or barn-yards. Insidious and fatal
forms of decline and typhoid very often
result from persons drinking water which
is drained from the localities named.
The safest plan, and the only safe plan
for furnishing dwellings with the mot
healthful and unobjectionable water, is to
have a water-tight cistern, and let the
water from the roof of the house or barn,
or other outhOuses, be conveyed into it
through box Of sand several yards long,
this box to rest on board or cemented
bottom and sides, so that no outside water
could get into it.-HalPs Journal Of

A SINGULAR natural curiosity is found
at Sadawga Pond, in Wittingham, VT,
consisting of $50 acres of land floating on
the surface of the water, covered with
cranberries, and even sustaining trees
fifteen feet high. When the water is
raised or lowered at the dam of the pond
the island rises and falls with it, and fish
are caught by boring hole in the crust
and fishing down as through the ice in
the winter. A similar island once ex-
listed in small lake near Bangor, Me.
