A COUPLE OF USEFUL HINTs.-Very often a
screw hole gets so worn that the screw will not
stay in. Where glue is handy the regular car
penteT makes the hole larger and CLUES in a large
plug, making nest for an entirely new hole
But this is not always the case, and people with
out tools and in an emergency, often have to fix
the thing at once. Generally leather is used,
but this is go hard that it dOes not hold we'll.
The best OF all things is to cut narrow strips of
cork, and nil the hole completely. Then force
the screw in. This will make as tight Job as if
driven into an entirely new hole.
Another hint of a similar character may be
useful. One often desires to put q staple into q
block of stone. The hole Is made, the staple in
serted, and lead melted and run in. But unless
the hole il made with the bottom larger than
the top, the lead will in time work out, il there
Is much jar or side strain on the iron. Besides,
the lead itself is liable TO some compression,
which admits of looseness, especially after be-
ing subjected TO very hot fires. A much better
article is sulphur. Ii this be melted and pOure d
in around the staple instead OF lead, 1t makes a
much more durable job. Besides, it is often
more easy 10 procure sulphur than lead, as every
store keeps it that deals in general variety

DEATH CAUSED BY A SUEBEAN-A Tsry Sin

Miss Emma McLane, daughter Of Capt. George
Rochester, the Argus and Radical says :-"Miss
McLane had been suffering with the typhoid
fever for about five weeks previous to her death,
but had commenced to recover slowly day OF
TWO before her final illness. So much better
had she become, indeed, that she was left alone
in her room a short time on last wednesday
evening, as she had fallen into peaceful slum-
Der. The sun was just setting at the time, and
bright streak OF sunlight was thrown across
the sleeper's bed. chamber. Miss McLane hap
peniDg to awaken suddenly, saw the room food
ed with the suns rays, and supposing that the
house was on ire, suddenly sprang out of bed
and called at the top OF her voice that the house
was on fire. Her fears were soon allayed, how
ever, when the family appeared, and she was
placed in her bed again. But the sudden fright
had proven too much for her weakened BODY to
bear, and she commenced to sink so rapidly that
death claimed her as a victim on the following
afternoon. Miss McLane was a most estimable
young lady, beloved by all who knew her, and
the family have the deepest sympathy of large

TWO CHILDREN BURNED TO DEATH 1

TWO CHILDREN BURNED TO DEATH BY a DIS
CHARGED DOMESTIC.
Some weeks ago a woman calling herself
Bridget MalOney applied TO DR.. jackson, OF Co
lumbus, Kentucky, for the place of cook. En-
plOymeEt was given her, and for q short while
she gave satisfaction. a few days ago the doc
tor noticed some irregularities in her life and
notified her that she must look out for another
home. This appeared to infuriate her beyond
control; the pent- up devil in her nature burst
forth in fury OF passion that sent the doctor
scampering for the police, and the family for an
asylum of safety. When he returned Bridget
had departed, leaving his mirrors and furniture
wreck. 1t appears that, from a mistaken
kindness, she was not prosecuted, but allo we'd
10 depart unmOlested. From his residence she
went to the hotel or boarding house kept by an
estimable German Catholic named Switzher,
near the Mississippi and Ohio railroad. She
this lady, and was permitted to stop with her +,
paying her board In work. She behaved badly
again, and MIS- SwitZheT discharged her. In
stead of going off, however, she went up into
Mrs. Swttzher's room (it was Immediately after
breaktast) and sent for this lady from the din
iDg-TCOm. When she got into her presence she
commenced to abuse her In q most shameful
manner. Mrs. SwitZher tried to quiet her, and
expressed sympathy for her. Bridget told her
that she had better sympathize with herself,
and made at her. Mrs. Switzher rushed down
stalrs, leaving her three children, consisting Of
a little boy four years old, two daughters aged
respectively six and ten, in the room. The CID
est says that the two children were in the bed I,
with the mosquito bar fastened down around it,
and that Bridget deliberately took the lamp
oil, and fred it, Before assistance could reach
them, the passage was a solid sheet of fame
and the two children were burned, with the
house and most of the furniture. The iend is
IN prison, and the poor mother is nearly dis
trscted with grief at her terrible loss.-Padu

TIE ART or SEIPPING.-Skippingi is an i'm
poTtaut part OF the art of reading, and should
be prGCuced systematically. Ii is most to be
pTaCticed in solid bOOks-by which we mean,
tor the purposes of this discussion, books
that are read merely for information.
Solid CT serious reading consists in attending
to the matter of a book independently
OF the form, except indeed when the form it,
self Is the primary subject Of study, as for
instance from the point Of view of a philOlOgist
or historian OF literature. The more solid the
book, the more e1pedient Ii is 10 skip, and the
more useful tits to know how to skip judiciously.
But when the form is OF sensible Importance to
the reader as compared with the matter-Or, In
less abstract language when book is read part
ly or wholly for entertainment and artistic pleas.
ure,1 dependently OF infor mation-then the art
OF shipping IL no longer in its proper place, and
should be very sparingly used, If at all. 1t is
generally mistake in poetry, and 1t ia absolute
ly wrong In a good novel. We do not mean t.
forbid a cursOry glance at a novel or volume of
in tended as a preliminary inquiry to ascertain
whether II is worth reading at all. One has a
perfect right to look into a book and say that it
appears to be worth reading or not worth read
ing, a. the case may be; and the faculty of doing
This with a reasonable chance of guessing right
terry Of skipping. But we must protest against the
habit of tasting good novel by dips and skips-
which really Is nothing better than taking eX-
tracts at random-and then pretending to nave
read the novel. This way Of treating the mas
teT-pieces Of fiction, though we fear 1t is not
uncommon and meets with but little reprehen-
sion, we take TO be 10 less vicious and demoral-
ping IN books of solid instruction is in truth
Wholesome and laUdable. The same obserVa-
ton applies, though IN less degree, to the
reading OF poems Saturday RsUisJg.

CLBM GREENS STORY OF A PossUM HUNT.

as this story Glenn Green told:
"a few nights ago MathisOn Green, a negro,
who was formerly my slave, is now my tenant,
went Possum hunting. He got into a low under
growth and sort of stirred It up. For the pur-
pOse of attracting the possum he lit a paper;
and as the flames mounted up big hock of
black birds rose and settled upon his head, back,
shoulders and arms. Matt began catching them,
and before he was through he put sixty of them
in his bag. Afterwards he caught some pos

"Make it flty-nine biackblrds," put in CAL
