A COLORADO HAIL.STORM.

HaiI-Stones Three Inches in Diameter-A
Railroad Train Bombarded with Chunks
of Ice.
The Denver MeaUs of recent date
saws An eyewitness, and passenger
on the east-bound train, describes the
terrific hailstorm which occurred at
Potter Station, on the Union Pacific rail
road, Friday night. The train was Just
storm commenced, and in ten seconds
there was such fury of hail and wind
that the engineer deemed it best to stop
the locomotive. The hailstones were
simply great chunks of ice, many of
them three and four inches in diameter,
and of all shapes--squares, cones, cubes,
etc.
The irst stone that struck the train
broke window, and the flying glass
severely injured LADY on the nose,
making deep cut. Five minutes after
ward there was not whole light Of glass
on the south side of the train the whole
length of it. The windows in the Pull
man cars were of French plate, three
eighths of an inch thick and double.
The hail broke both thicknesses, and tore
the curtains into shreds. The wooden
shutters, too, were smashed, and many
of the mirrors were broken. The
" decklights y on the top of the cars
were also demolished. The dome of the
engine was dented, as if it had been
pounded with heavy weight, and the
woodwork on the south side of the cars
was ploughed as if some one had struck
it all over with sliding blows from
hammer. During the continuance OF
this terrible fusilade, which lasted fully
twenty minutes, the excitement and fear
among the passengers ran very high.
Several ladies tainted, and one lady,
Mrs. Earle, wife of the Superintendent
of the Mountain division of the road,
went into spasms, from which she did
not recover for over ansheur after the
cessation of the storm. Several persons
sitting on the south side of the cars were
more or less injured about the head and
face.
AS soon as the storm abated little,
the mating in the cars was hung up il
front of the windows, and the train
moved ahead, the drifted hail stones
proving an obstacle for some miles. At
the next station strips of tin were pro-
cured and fastened over the windows the
entire length of the train. The cars
have been run into the shop for repairs,
and the damage will amount, it is esti-
mated, to several thousand dollars.

The History of Glass.

Taken in connection with the glass ex-
hibited in Japan, and said to be over one
thousand years old, an article by M. de
Foville in the Economists FRANCHISE
may be read with interest. That gentle
man says that France long remained in
debted to italian art in the matter of
glass, although in the sixth century
drinking glasses were manufactured at
Paris and Quiquengrogne. But in 1342
we find Dauphin paying for a little
glass service for his daughter Diana the
price of an OK. Some of the most Gu
rious windows in the Gothic cathedrals
date from the thirteenth, twelfth, and
even eleventh centuries, but it was only
under Louis XIV. that France appro-
priated the secret of those exquisite pro-
auctions which Venice sold her for their
weight in gold. There are now in France
IT'S glass manufactures, without count
ing seven manufactures of looking
glasses. Every year on an average
125, 100000 bottles are made, and 3d.
100000 of these, filed with good wine,
find their way abroad, together with
about 20,000,0O0 empty bottles. Forty
years ago 100 bottles cost about 80 francs;
now they cost half that price. Accord
ing to NJ de Foville, the invention of
glass deserves to rank with printing and
steam as an agent Of civilization and re-
finement, for it rendered indoor life
possible. There are proofs, he says, that
glass existed in the early days of Chris
tianity, but it was an exceptional luxury
which did not survive the fall of the
Roman Empire. The window-pane re-
appeared at later period in the churches
under the form of small lozenges of
equivocal transparency. At the castle of
the Duke of Northumberland, in 1867,
says the writer, there were few glass
windows, which used to be put in when
his grace was at home; and not CEN
tury ago there existed in France corpo-
ration of Chassissiers," whose profes-
sion was to put in windows of oiled pa
per. It was only in ITO that glass
panes in wooden frames were used.

Tampering With the Mails.

The Postmaster General has addressed
the following letter to the proprietors of
the Maine Standard in answer to their
complaint that the paper had been
tempered with in the mails:
g GENTLEMEN: Your favor of the
28th inst. is at hand and noted. You
stated that the Maine Standard ad-
dressed to regular subscribers had been
opened in Post offices, and Republican
campaign documents folded inside and
delivered to subscribers, and ask if such
conduct is to be tolerated by this Depart
ment. In reply I have to say that such
action is in direct violation of the rules
of the Department, of decency, and of
the proprieties of official position. If
you will present to this Department the
proof that any officer or employee has
been guilty of the offense charged, he
shall at once be dismissed the service,
and hereby request you to do so in
order that immediate action may be tax
en. Very respectfully yours,
g MARSHALL JEWELL.

What to Eat.

DIR. Hail relates the case of a man who
was cured of his biliousness by going
without his supper and drinking freely
of lemonade. The next morning this
patient arose with a wonderful sense of
rest and refreshment, and feeling as
though the blood had been literally
washed, cleansed and cooled by the lem
onade and fast. His theory is that food
can be used as aremedy for many dis
eases successfully. AS an example, he
cures splitting of blood by the use of
salt; epilepsy, by watermelons kidney
affections, by celery poison, by olive
or sweet oil; erysipelas, by pounded
cranberries applied to the part affected;
hydrophobia, by onions, etc. So the
way to keep in good health is really to
know what to eat and to know what medi-
cines to take.

In Philadelphia there lives an old
woman who for years has been sick.
A physician has offered to cure her Of her
malady for So, 900. This sum of money
the woman was unable to get, so the
doctor informed her that for one million
Cancelled postage stamps he would effect
the cure. The old woman at once set
about procuring the stamps, and it com

the high school and of the schools in
Manayunk and Germantown, they began
to help In the attainment of this much
desired object. One girl has already

The Whisky Frauds---HOW They were
Committed.

A Washington dispatch says: H. t.
Yaryan, Chief of the Division of Rev
enue Agents, has submitted to the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue an elabo-
rate report upon the manner in which
the whisky frauds lately exposed were
perpetrated upon the government, and
the checks already established to prevent
q recurrence of such frauds. The re-
port is very interesting, but too lengthy
for publication in full Mr. Yaryan de-
scribes two modes in which the frauds
were perpetrated, both, of course, by
collision of United States officers, and
says: "In one of the two ways above
described all the frauds recently discov-
cred have been committed, and the gov
ern nent has lost three million dollars In
the last two years. The frauds have
mainly been carried on at four places,
namely, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Chicago
and Evansville, and all at distilleries pro-
ducing what is called highwines. This
class of spirits does not require aging,
as does the sour mash whisky of Ken
lucky. It consequently does not excite
suspicion to find highwines on the mar
ket to-day that were produced yesterday.
This rapid transfer from the distillery to
the market affords special facilities for
the reuse of stamps, which Isl scarcely
possible with the whiskies of Kentucky,
which require a years warehousing be-
fore being ready for the market. The
report concludes as follows: AS an
indication of the extent of the frauds
above described, I have the honor to re-
port that documentary evidence is in pos
session of your Office, which has war;
ranted the seizure of twenty-three dis
tilleries and thirty-six rectifying houses,
and implicated over fifty United States
Gaugers and Storekeepers. This evil
dence also shows the issue between De-
cember 1, 1874, and May 1, 1876, OF
fraudulent spirits by the duplication of
5000 packages, containing probably
100000 proof gallons, and by the aid of
false gauging to the additional amount
of 100000 proof gallons. This, of
course, is but small portion of the
fraud actually committed, but In itself
indicates the loss of tax by the govern
ment In four months to an amount not
less than 500, 000.'

Useful Facts.

HAIR INSTRUMENTATION leaves,
good handful boiling water, one pint.
Digest for an hour simmer ten minutes
and then strain This will strengthen
the hair and prevent it falling off.
SHAMPOO LIQUID. Carbonate of am
monia, ] OF carbonate of potash, OF !;
water, pint. Dissolve and add to the
solution tincture of cantharides, 5 fluid
ounces; recti6ed spirits, / pint; good
rum, quarts. R1b the hair well with
this till lather is formed, and then wash
the head with cold water.
IRON CEMENT WHICH is UNAFFECTED
BY RED HEAT.-Four parts iron filings,
two parts clay, one part fragment OF a
Hessian crucible reduce to the size OF
rape seed and mix together, working the
whole into stiff paste with saturated
solution of salt. A piece of fire. brick
can be used instead of the Hessian
crucible.
BEDS. To renovate old feather beds
when no steam apparatus is convenient,
put them out doors during heavy rain.
Let them dry in the sun, beating them
occasionally with stick to loosen the
feathers. They should be turned over
several times, and then thoroughly dried.
A paste of soap and starch will take
stains out of bed-ticking. Spread it
over the spots. When dry, scrape off
and wash with a damp sponge. H
s WASHING MADE EASY. The German
washerwomen use mixture of OF tur-
pentine and OF spirits of ammonia, well
mixed together. This is put into a
bucket of warm water, in which ] Id of
soap has been dissolved. The clothes
are immersed for "a hours and then
washed. By this method the cleansing
is said to be greatly quickened, anu two
or three rubbIngs in cold water will re-
move the turpentine smell.
Your Own MASON. Small holes In
white walls can be easily repaired with
out sending for the mason. Equal parts
of plaster of Paris and wlite sand-such
as is used in most families for securing
purposes mixed with water to paste,
applied Immediately and smoothed with
a knife or flat piece of wood will make
the broken place as good as new. AS
the mixture hardens very quickly, it is
best to prepare but a small quantity at a
time.
DESTRUCTION OF NIGHT-F'LYING In
sEoTs. Millions of insects injurious to
trees may destroyed by keepingupnum
bers Of small fires from twilight to mid
night and SURF ounding them with circles
OF 20 to 80 tarred stakes, not more than
six inches apart Although few insects
will be found burned to death, since they
soon seem to acquire dread of the fire,
many will be caught in the tar while
moving about in the warmed stratum of
air or to and from the fire.
To ExTINaUIsH KEROSENE FLAMES
One of the most ready means is to throw
cloth of some kind over the flames and
thus stife them but as the cloth is not
always convenient to the kitchen, where
such accidents are most likely to occur,
some one recommends -four as substi-
tute, which, it is said, promptly extin-
cuisines the flames. It rapidly absorbs
the fluid, deadens the flames, an can be
readily gathered up and thrown out of
doors when the fire is extinguished.
