A Thrilling Exhibition at Niagara.

When man willfully jumps into the
Niagara river just above the cataract,
and smilingly says "GOod bye" to his
friends who are with him, he had better
be let alone. He knows he is safe, and
may we'll snap his fingers at the world.
Those who attempt to interfere with his
course are in danger, and the hope of
stopping the happy floater is not worth
the risk. John e. Jones, of New York,
visited Niagara with James p. Wood,
his brother-in-law, and his sister,
Mrs. Wood. Jones had invited theWoods
to 60 with him to see the falls, and they
went. They appeared like jolly party
at the hotel, and during dinner Jones
ioked and laughed and was the happiest
of the party. He was enjoying a sur.
prise which he was meditating for his
friends, and had his own fun out Off in
advance, as he knew it would be too late
after his plan was developed. Dinner
over, the party went to zee the falls.
They walked along road by the torrent
where there is railing on the dangerous
side. Mr.. and Mrs. Wood were little
way ahead, and Jones followed chatting.
He came to a spot where there were no
ratings, started the Woods by shouting
Good bye" and plunged into the hur-
rying water. Wood got himself wet in
trying to seize Jones, and barely man.
aged to get out of danger. Jones went
gayly on the torrent past good many
Mortified people, who let him alone. A
hack driver below, taking in the situa-
ton, ran and grasped the limb Of tree
which Overhung the water in the hope of
being able to seize Jones as he came
down. In a perilous place he awaited
the coming of the man who was making
the trip on his back. Jones was just six
inches too far out to be rescued, which
seemed TO please him greatly, for he
stuck out his tongue in mockery at the
hackman as he passed. He could easily
have reached the brave hackman's hand
and been rescued if he had wanted to,
but he kept his hands entirely to himself.
The hackman got into the water too, and
came very near losing his life. Jones
took the fatal leap over the roaring
precipice into the boiling gulf in full
view of many sightseers, and was lost to
mortal view. 1t was the most thrilling
performance ever seen at Niagara, those
feats of Blondin not excepting. He went
to his death within few feet of several
persons who were powerless to aid him
If he had wanted help. Then Mr.. and
Mrs. Wood and other guests of the hotel
knew what had made Jones 80 merry at
the dinner table. He was enjoying a
Joke which he knew none would take as
such.

UsefSll Information.

A LITTLE pipe-clay dissolved in hot
water cleans very dirty linen with half
the soap required without it.
BEE moths can easily be killed in large
numbers by setting pan of grease, in
which is a floating ignited wick, near the
hives after dark. The moths will fly
into the light, and fall into the grease.
TAKING timothy hay as the standard
of comparison, it requires one hundred
pounds of it to supply certain amount
Ofnourishment. 1t is estimated by care
full experiment that the same amount of
nourishment can be obtained by using
the following quantities of other food !:
Clover hay, 90 lbs. rye straw, 355 lbs. |;
Oat straw, 22O lbs.; potatoes, 1876 lbs ;
carrots, 280 lbs. i; beets, 346 lbs. ruta
bagas, 262 lbs /; wheat, 43 lbs. peas, A
lbs. beans, 46 lbs. /; rye, 40 lbs. barley,

GUNS and rifles can be easily cleaned
from lead by the following: If muzzle-
loader, stop up the pipple or cOmmunica-
ton hole with little wax, or if breech-
loader insert cork in the breech rather
tightly; next pour some quicksilver into
the barrel, shaking it for few minutes.
The mercury and the lead will form an
amalgam, and leave the barrel as clean
and free from lead as the first day it came
out of the shop. The same quicksilver
can be used repeatedly by straining it
through wash-leather, for the lead will
be left behind in the leather, and the
quicksilver will be again fit for use.

Potato PIE.-One cupful of cold
mashed potatoes, two cups Of milk, three
eggs and half an ounce of butter. Beat
the potatoes, eggs and butter into cream,
add the milk sweeten to taste; flavor
with lemon or vanilla. Line deep dish
with puff paste, and fill with the potato
custard. Bake thirty minutes.
STEwED POTATOES cold boiled
potatoes, pare them and cut them in thin
slices; to pint of milk, when scalding
hot, stir in table spoonful of butter and
-four, rubbed together; salt to taste; add
the yelk of one egg and some parsley
chopped fine. When we'll mixed throw
in the potatoes, shaking carefully with
out spoon to avoid breaking. Let them
stew for few moments, and serve.
Coop WORD FOR WoMEN.-Women
have often more of what is called sense
than men. They have fewer pretensions !;
are less implicated in theories, and judge
of objects more from their immediate
and involuntary impression on their
minds; and, therefore, more truly and
naturally. They cannot reason wrong,
for they do not reason at all. They do
not think or speak by rule, and they
have in general more eloquence, sense
and wit on that account. BY their wit,
sense and eloquence combined they gen.
orally contrive to govern their husbands.

Cabinet or Parlor Organs.

These have become the most popular
of large musical instruments. There
are now about two hundred and fifty
makers of them in the United States,
who produce more than forty thousand
organs per annum. Most of these are very
poor instruments. This Is naturally SO,
manufacture of which 80 much saving
can be made by the use Of inferior, i'm
properly prepared material, and inferior
workmanship, and yet which, when I'm
ished, show 80 little difference to the
average purchaser. The important parts
of an organ, made as we'll as they can
be, cost two or three times as much as
if made as low as possible. Yet, when
the organ is done, it is not easy from
casual hearing to tell the difference be-
tween the best and very poor one. Es-
pecially when shown by one who knows
how to cover up defects, to one who has
not special skill in such matters it is not
difficult to make a poor organ appear
good one.
The temptation to makers, then, to
produce, at fraction of the cost, an Or
gan which will sell almost as we'll as a
good one is almost irresistible. Hence
the fact that so few good organs are made
and so many poor ones, and that the
country is flooded with peddlers and
dealers selling these poor organs, which
pay such large profits. The buyer of the
poor organ does not fail to find out his
mistake after a while. The thin reedy
tone of his cheap organ soon becomes Of
fensive, it works noisily and roughly, is
constantly out of order, and becomes
useless by the time really good in-
strument would have been getting into
its prime. A good organ ought to last
generation, at least; a poor one may
last five years, with considerable tinker
ing, or may break down much sooner.
There is one safe way. Get genuine
production ofone of the very best makers
and you cannot go astray. Among these
undoubtedly stands pre-eminent the
Mason & Hamlin Organ Co., whose
organs are 30 well known that other
makers are generally content to claim
that they can make as good an organ as
the Mason & Hamlin. They invented
and introduced the Cabinet or ParlOr
Organ in its improved form, started with
and have always closely adhered to the
policy of making only the best work,
have shown such skill as has given their
organs the highest reputation, not only
in this country but also in Europe. Al
the Great Exposition at Vienna, in com.
petition with eighty of the best makers
in the world, they obtained the highest
medals. To enumerate the competitions
at which they have received similar
honors would be to give list of the
fairs at which they have exhibited /; and
to mention the prominent musicians who
recommend their organs as unequaled
would really be to give very good list
of the most illustrious musical names in
the country, with a good representation
in Europe.
One who obtains Mason & Hamlir
Cabinet Organ need have no doubt thai
he has the best instrument of its class
which can be made.-Ntw York Inde
