A Little Mistake.

He took the evening train up from
Cleveland, and in looking through the
cars discovered female sitting alone in
seat, and it instantly occurred to him
that she might be lovely. Aveil dropped
over her face, but there was no reason to
suppose that she was not good looking,
and he gallantly raised his hat and sat
down beside her, remarking with a lovely
smile:
cts lonely travelling alone"
She Just murmured a reply, but the
accent was captivating, and he was won
at the start.
He was practised in all the arts OF
polite tactics, ond spoke to her softly OF
this great, desolate world, with appro.
pirate illusions to human hearts. He
told her how he had hungered and thirsted
after the affection of true heart, and
had yearned to feel the breath of the
heavenly flame of love.
No, he sighed, he had no wife, no one
to love and caress him, and mind his
srlspenders and when he inquired il
she was treading the path of life single
and alone, she murmured SO pensively ani
sad that he felt compelled to put his arm
on the back of the seat least she should
fall out of the window-which was closed
They reached Norwalk, and just Al
the train stopped he heard grating
kissing sound close to his ear, and thel

How to Make Rag Carpets.

If you want something for your kitchen
floor, firm, warm and durable, from
which spots can be easily removed, which
can be shaken, turned, and be as good as
new again for several years, use rag car
pets. They can generally be obtained
of carpet dealers at from sixty cents to
one dollar yard; but often smoother
and handsomer article can be made at
home, at least ready for the loom. For
this purpose save the old clothes-old
flannel, sheets, and under garments, old
dresses fact, everything which will
make long strips. Old clothes of good
colors are doubly valuable. Calicoes not
too much worn are excellent material.
Cut into strips about an inch wide, sew
end to end, and wind Gmoothly into balls
of about one pound weight. Allow from
one and one-fourth to one and one-nalf
pounds of rags to square yard OF car
peting. Collect all odd pieces of any
color for the mosaic or hit-and-miss
stripe. Cut and mix these thoroughly
before sewing, SO as to make this stripe
as uniform as possible. A few pounds
of remnants from a woolen factory, or
soft istings, of any needed color, make
nice stripe, and require little sewing.
Do not put too much black into kitchen
| carpet, as it is not strong color and
shows the dust more than any other
color. A stripe of several shades of red
brightens up carpet wonderfully-and
who objects to a little brightness in the
kitchen? White woolen rags take anice
cochineal red, white cotton a durable
green from fustic and logwood set with
blue vitriol. A cinnamon color may be
dyed with copperas. Select coarse
strong warp of some dark color-brown
and slate colors are good-allowing one
pound of warp for every three and one
fourth yards of carpeting. Keep the
exact weight of rags and warp, to COM
pare with weight of carpet when re-
turned, and employ a good weaver.
Many prefer kitchen carpet put down
with rings, as it can thus be easily taken
up and shaken.

regular banking hours of the day, at the
immediate close of business he appeared
as an entirely different character. Then
he was "hal fellow well met" with
everyone, and his iberality in any other
country than California would have ap-
peared mania. He built a palatial resi-
dence for his own use in beautiful val
ley twenty-five miles south of San Fran
cisco. There he entertained a constant
stream of guests. The gardens were il
Illuminated nightly with variegated col
ored lamps, and the residence was an
Oriental palace in its sumptuousness.
The cost of maintaining this prodigal
home was $4,000 a year. There is a
limit to everything human. An excess
of enjoyment is certain to be followed by
its proportionate depression of spirits,
if not of actual suffering; and SO, too,
the persistent mania for speculation,
however great the means at command,
and however apparently successful fol
the time being, must inevitably result,
sooner or later, in disaster and ruin. In
no case has this principle been better il
Illustrated than in the story of Ralston.
His vanity had been increasing with sue
cess till death itself was preferable to life
with the certain reverse which at last
overlook him.

The Catalentic Rooster.

There is curious experiment which
any one who is the possessor of a rooster
can try for himself with success, and
which has never been positively ex-
planned. 1t is an ancient one, in fact it
is two hundred years and over old, since
it was commented upon by Kircher in
1916. Still it is none the less curious,
and almost as much subject of specu-
lation now as it was when first observed.
1t is performed thus: Select dark col
ored table with smooth top; place it so
that narrow streak of sunlight will fail
across the surface. The sunlight is not
absolutely material to success, but we
have found the desired result to be more
quickly obtained when it is present.
Then set the rooster ON the table, and
hold his head down so that his beak
comes in contact with the wood. Now,
with piece of chalk and in the sunlight
draw line straight from the bird s beak.
Move the chalk very slowly, and by the
time the line is couple of feet in length
the rooster will fall into cataleptic or
trance-ike condition; and, although the
hands are removed from his body, he
will remain pr1rfectly rigid for minute
or two. 1t is said that black line on a
white surface will produce the same
effect. Hens may be similarly treated,
but it takes much longer to get them
into the trance state, it being necessary
to hold the head down several minutes
before they come under the influence.
This phenomenon is termed hypnot-
ism, or the result of curious sleep-pro-
ducing property incident to the fxation
of the attention upon some bright object.
1t is by some considered partial para
lyzation of the brain. The same can be
done upon human beings. The person
should fix his eyes steadfastly on any
glittering object, say disk of silver ia
per, fastened on black surface and
brought within ten inches of his face,
for about twenty or thirty minutes. A
state of torpor intervenes, during which,
if the limbs be gently raised, they viii
rigidly remain as placed. Surgical opera
tions have been performed under these
conditions without causing suffering to
the patient. Scientific american.

RalstOn,s MOdestY.

What is said about Ralston's ostenta-
ton is exaggerated. He had the animal
passions of Fisk, but the public was not
RECALLED with the disclosure. He had no
love of uniforms, militia, or the appear
ance of his name in print. The San
Francisco Chronicle sent a reporter
down to Belmont to describe one of his
dinner-parties, and was set outside the
house. He had an adherence of news
paper publicity, and particularly eau
toned me, and sent my friends to en-
treat me, not to make my enjoyment at
his place matter of newspaper report.
He said to me: "This is banking con-
cern, and there are gentlemen in it older
and abler than I am, who are entitled to
the respect of being mentioned. I don't
want jealousies to arise in the bank" AT
the same time he stayed in the city after
banking hours to explain to me how the
bank originated, and what its province
was,-" Gath"

A STRANGE SUICIDE,
Two Girls Attempt Self-Destruction, ant
One Succeeds.

Two Girls Attempt SeIf-Destruction, and
One Succeeds.
The wonderful nerve and cunning dis
played by the two young girls, Nettie
Barrett, aged II, and Frances Bridgman,
aged IA. in their partially successful at
tempt to commit suicide in Belchertown,
Mass, last week, invest the sad tragedy
with romantic interest. The two girls
were pretty, intelligent, and of excellent
families. Miss Barrett was sent to Bel
chertown by her mother, who lives at
South Amherst, to continue her educa-
ton, and was to have been baptized ON
Sunday in the church which witnessed
her burial. Miss Bridgman, who had
been her companionn, was the adopted
daughter of Mr.. Calvin Bridgman. They
had been reproved by their guardians
for keeping late hours, and on Thursday
evening they stole out of the house of
Mr.. Daniel Packard, where they board
ed, and having procured some morphine,
they returned to theirroom. Early Fri
day morning neighbor called at the
house saying that Miss Bridgman had
taken fearful farewell. Mrs. Packard
went Immediately to the room occupied
by the girls, and there the victims lay,
one in a deadly stupor, and the other
writhing in terrible agony. The bed
was covered with candy, and
Miss Bridgman explained that they
had overeaten OF this. Efforts
were made to rouse Miss Barrett, who
refused to take any thing but cold water,
and said: CHOW. go away want to
sleep" When Mrs. Packard had left
the room for help, Miss Bridgman hailed
little girl and threw down Il note ad-
dressed to the druggist asking him to
be SO kind as to send hvr five cents
worth of chloroform. She. threw down
also two letters directed to two young
men whom they had been flirting with,
bidding them farewell, and asking them
to act as her bearers. Then followed an
exciting scene in the little bedroom.
Poor Nettie Barrett was dying. Miss
Bridgman confessed that they had taken
the morphine, that the candy was only a
ruse, that there had been scandalous
stories in the town about them, and that
she did not wish ever to see her parents
again, and hoped to die. She quietly
watched her dying companion and wait
ed for the chloroform. With the death
of Miss Barrett, however, came the de-
sire to live, aud Miss Bridgman request
ed an emetic. Only five hours before
they entered the little bedroom they
gayly played croquet with some young
people, holding in their hands the candy
which they were to sprinkle on the bed.
Miss Bridgman wrote what she thought
was her last letter to her father in affec-
tionate yet determined words. She
would meet her parents in a world where
there were no scandalous tongues and
where they could live in peace. Miss
Bridgeman is thought to be in fair way
to recover. Post.

The Indian Peace Policy to be Aban.
dOned,

A Washington correspondent says the
statement is made upon high authority
that the forthcoming message of Presi
dent Grant to Congress will contain q
most urgent recommendation that the
Indian service be turned over to the man
agement of the War Department. This
is accepted as an evidence that the Pres
ident has finally become convinced that
at least some of the frauds charged upon
the present management of the Indian
service have foundation of fact. The
President has always been in favor of
having the control of the Indians vested
in the War Department, but has had a
desire to give the peace policy people a
fair opportunity to demonstrate their
peculiar fitness for the work, and now
that they have failed SO miserably, he
will use all his influence to secure the
adoption of the system which he is con-
yinced is the better one.

Mortality by Preyentable Disease.

Self-preservation is the first law OF our
nature; but it is law which we igno-
rantly and constantly disregard in laying
our life and health at the mercy of the
foul conditions of life prevailing among
our neighbors.
We roll up our eyes and stand aghast
when contemplating the horrors of war;
yet the mortality OF war is trifiing as
compared with the mortality of prevent
able disease. England, in twenty-five
years of continuous war, lost 79, 7OO
lives; in one year of cholera she lost
Ia, 800 lives.
We look idly on and see our popula-
ton decimated by an infant mortality SO
great that its like among calves and colts
would appal the farmer, and set the whole
community energetically at work to dis
cover remedy.-Atlantie Monthlg.

WILLIAM G. RAIsToN, the unfortunate
President of the Bank of California, who
committed suicide after the collapse of
the gigantic financial balloon which he
had himself inflated, and which he alone
directed in its dazzling course before the
eyes of its multitude of worshippers on
the Pacific Slope, was most remarkable
man. He left home of limited preten-
sions In the East and entered the Bank
of California as cashier, when its capital
was small; he finally became President of
the bank, and then commenced career
of daring and successful speculation
little less than miraculous. Every
thing he purchased Immediately rose in
ya.Ie; every enterprise or scheme he
favored appeared to be successful; il
Only needed his investment in any min
ing stocks to have them Immediately
and permanently "bulled." He was
watched in his business Investments
by other capitalists, and unwittingly
guided their investments. He
spent large sums in public improvements
and increased the capital stock of the
Bank of California to S., 600, 900 in ordel
to allow him to continue to satisfy hi
ever-increasing and over-ardent desire
for speculation. His aims were unnatu
raj as his energy and ambition were un
tagging. Socially he was no less re
markable. Though his mental energie
seemed strained to the utmost during tn
