Valuable Discover Y.

The Virginia (Nevada) Enterprise
states that lawyer of that city, named
Carson, has made discovery which
should also make his fortune. 1t says :
"Carson, few weeks since, by some
chance, discovered mixture, composed
of very simple ingredients, which oper-
ated like magic upon any kind of grease
AS an extractor of grease from cloth
ing or any textile fabric. This fluid
was found to possess the property of
cutting oil and grease from machinery
almost instantly and in a most unac-
countable manner. The fluid applied
with sponge to an engine, when COW
cred with grease burned in upon
it, clears all away as readily as water
would wash away so much mud. This
was the original discovery, but in ex-
perimenting with it Carson ascertained
that by the addition of another ingre-
dent the fluid acquired new property.
This has thep power to FURNISH all metals.
A piece of rusty and greasy hoop iron
washed with sponge dipped in the fluid
at once assumes the appearance of q
piece of highly polished steel. Carson
assures us that the fluid contains Meth
er acid nor alkali, and in proof of this
has no hesitation in washing his eye
with it. He says that the ingredient
which imparts polish to rusty iron is
thing very simple and cheap, and as
serts that should he name it, all would
wonder that the never thought of max
ing this use of it. The fluid first dis
covered is now in use at several of our
mills, where it is found to be just the
thing for cleaning engines and other
machinery"

A WEES DEVOTION Mary Costigan
was murdered in Somers, Connecticut,
last autumn. She was found with her
throat cut, but she lived long enough
to make sworn statement that her as
sailant was Frank Powers, negro Of
the neighborhood. She told circum-
stantial story, and nobody doubted the
guilt of Powers, who was at once
arrested. Subsequent revelations, how
ever, showed that the real murderer
was her husband, and that the wife
died with perjury on her lips to shield
him from punishment for his crime.
His trial has just ended in his convic.
ton of manslaughter.

The Crow.

We have smiled somewhat over an
obituary notice of his pet crow printed
by a Bellefontaine (Ohio) editor. He
was an acute, intelligent, and interest
ing bird, and he has "gone to the
shining shore" He could initiate the
notes of the blue jay, the bark of the
faithful watchdog, and, to some extent,
the human voice. He had his faults.
The women accused him of hooking
their clothes-pins and of laundering after
their hair-pins, but it was universally
agreed that he meant no harm. /" Be-
guiled by his captivity of the instinct
which guarded him from danger in his
natural state, he fell an easy victim to
the cruelty of some wanton, and is now
beyond the reach of the despicable
meanness and miserable cowardice
which prompted his destruction u No
doubt he would have been willing to
die if he had known what fine things
would be said of him in the newspapers.

No Boss.-During Col. Tom SCOTS

ornament; but in many quiet homes, in many
a cabin of the poor and lowly, there is to-day
ilrepressible tenderness and profound sorows
There are many of us who have known and
loved him. whom this event units for public
duties or for any thoughts other than those of
that pure life, that faithful public service, that
assured Immortality. A committee was appoint

The Lord Raleigh Grape Vine"
discovered by Lord Raleigh on landing
at Roanoke Island in 1910, and which
was then but three inches in diameter,
is now one of the largest vines in the
world, covering one and half acres of
ground. Its yield last year was forty
six barrels of wine, which sold for So
per gallon. A Scuppernong vine in
Terre II county, N. O., produces at
least one-fourth wine. Its production
last year brought the handsome sum of
