TIE BUTTER SCULPTREsS.-An ex
hibition of modelling in butter was
given yesterday afternoon in the com
missioners, room,in the rear Of judges
hall, by Mrs. Caroline S. Brooks. The
modelling of a fac simile of human
face was executed by The artist in the
presence Of several commissioners,
members of the women's centennial
executive committee, and members oE
the press, the sculptress giving q
practical demonstration Of her method
of taking casts in plaster of works of
art. A quantity of butter, probably
fen to fifteen pounds, was placed in a
dish, and pressed down compactly
with small wooden spoon shaped i'm
plement, VIII ich, with another of like
pattern, are the only tools made use
of and then deposited for some five
minutes in a retrigera or in order 10
give the material The proper elasticity.
The work was then begun, as the oat.
line of human head began to de,
yelop itself the artist occasionally
consulted a mirror, and by Goting the
lights and shadows in the reflection
OF her own face was enabled to apply
these in the sculpturing of the face
befor her. The successful completion
Of the task was heartily appIauded
By the audience.-Phil. Times.

A DEADLY PooL.-Some remarka-
bic statements were made at an in>
quest held at Bury, in Lancashire, on
Saturday, respecting mill stream
lodge known as odd Charley's Lodge
or The Hatter's Cemetery in which
a young woman, aged nineteen, ,drown>
ed herself. The lodge, it seems, is In
the midst ofa thickIy-populated neigh
borhood, and is not protected by any
fence. The water being warm, it Of
fers unusual temptation to suicide,
and owing to its unguarded condition
it is also the scene Of many fatal acci-
dents to young ehild:ed who fall into
it while playing on the banks. The
Coroner said he considered it "A pu6
lie scandal that 'Oli Charley's Lodge,
was not fenced Off in some way. he
had himself held inquests on the
bodies of from fifteen 20 twenty per-
sons who had met with their deaths
in that lodge, and lie understood that
altogether, upwards of fifty bodies had
been taken out oft. He did not think
there was another place in the king
dom TO equal it. This is a mistake.
The ponds on Hampstead Heath
claim to have destroyed more human
lives than any other place of water OF
a similar size in Great Britain, and
the number of bodies taken out OF
them is almost beyond calculation.
'Old Charley's Lodge is, however,
beyond doubt, a most deadly pool,
and police constable at the inquest
stated that it was a common saying in
the borough, "Pll go to Old Chariey's
Lodge" or Go to Old Charley
Lodge" the first being an expression
of despair, the second of brutality

Toreuvx,n GLAss.-The new pro.

TousugSsp GLAss.-The new pro-
cess for making a tough or unbreaka
bic glass, already noticed IN this de-
partmeu,. has been greatly improved
since its first announcement, and the
material in the form of lampNchim>
news. ,umbIers, etc, is now offered IN
commercial quantities. The success
attending the experiments already
made have inspired further research
in the same field, and a number OF
new processes, of more or less value,
are reported. In the original process,
glassware, raised to a red, or melting
heat, is plunged into bath OF oily
and fatty matter, and the result is TO
give the glsss an entirely different
character. Instead of breaking with a
star like fracture under slight blow
it resists serious blows, and besides a
certain amount of elasticity above
that it had before, displays tough"
ness and cohesion many times III ex"
cess of it. ordinary character. Ii
broken at all, it Gisintergrates and
Aies into q great number OF minute
particles, resembling quartz sand. In
place of the oil-bath, one OF the latter
processes employs molds of various
materials-cast iron copper, pottery,
ETC., in which the glass is placed at a
melting temperature, and then submit
ted to a great pressure. The materials
of these molds, the temperature at
which they mrst be kept when in use,
some new forms of mufies in which
the glass to be trested is heated, and
a number of minor technical details
in the process, are reported, and the
glass produced is said to resemble
closely the tOughened glass made by
tha original method. 1t is not yet
offered in the narke; in apy quantity,
Another process claims to use a bath
of superheated steam in hardening the
glass, but no details are yet given.
The other processes all very more or
less from the first, or oil bath method,
and have not yet showed any marked
improvement upon it.-Scri6ner.

Hon PRICE FOR HoRsF.-A
peculiar horse transaction took place
at Remscheid in Germany. the other
day. 1t was agreed that if the horse
should weigh 1000 pounds or less, the
purchaser should pay nothing for him,
but that if he weighed over 1000 lbs
800 marks (about S10) should be paid
fsr each pound over the $1,000. The
horse, on being driven on the scales,
was found to weigh 1I4S pounds
which under The agreement, made his
price 44,400 morks, equal to nearly

Charcoal FOR FATTENING TURKEYS.
The holidays being close at hand,
the days when fat turkeys are at a
premium, a little information as to
the best means OF fattening them will
not be amiSs. One who has had much
to DO with these proud birds says: 81
have made the experiment of feeding
charcoal to fatten turkeys, and the re.
suit surprised NE. -Four turkeys were
confined in a pen and fei on meal
boiled potatoes and oats. -Four others
of the same brood, were also, at the
same time, confined in q pen and fed
on the same articles, but with one
pint Of charcoal mixed with their
fooi-mixed meal and boiled potatoes.
They lad also a plentiful supply OF
broken charcoal in the pen. The eight
were killed on the same day, and there
was a difference Of one and a bait
pounds in favor of the fowls which had
been supplied with the charcoal, they
being much fatter and the meat great
ly superior in point Of tenderness and
tilyor.'

DECORATIONS FoR SoLDIERs.-A COR
respondent Of the London Neacs writes
General Tchernayeff walked along
the rather ricketty line of braves, fol-
lowed by an orderly bearing the med
ais, and the General, after pinning the
decorations on his breast, embraced
and kissed each recipient with great
effasion. OF course, there were vol
Ieys of cheering from the throDgs out
side The square, and there was burst
of laughter when little Montenegran
lad of about thirteen, who had been
trying his prentice hand at lighting
with extreme eagerness during the
last few weeks in this quarter, stepped
to the front, and ranging himself in
line with the fullgrown braves, waited
expectant for his decoration also.
Tchernayeff as be passed the urchin
patted his head, but this is species OF
recompense for valor apparently not
in high estimation with Montenegran
youth. The boy looked supremely
disappointed, and gazed hungrily al
the box of medals which the orderly
was carrying. Tichernayef' passed
on but General Komarof,, who follow
ed The orderly would not see the
yOungster wholly disappointed. He
handed hin not a medal, indeed but
ducat, and again was illustrated
what has been made apparent in so
many cases, from Cassius TO HOdgson
of the Guides, that the dUiduS amor
hobe11G and heroism are not incom>
patible. The Montenegran boy took
the ducat with JOY that could not
have been greater had he got the
Taxova cross, let alone a silver medal.
The double ceremony wes brought 20
close by a march past of troops
which had formed the parade; and of
this march past the popularity was
that the flags of the battailons were
carried past first in gay clump at
the head of the brigade. Conspicuous
among these banners was the CHASTITY
