LIST or OFFICERS IN THE DEPARTMENT OF IM-
pRoyEMENrs roR THE MONTH OF MAY. 1916.
Total for Msy, 1876, 81, 1864 SO
Or per anuum sSS. J74 36

The above exhibit does not include the ex-
penses incurred for the supervision and care of
dredge-boate, which expenses are included in
the statement made with regard to the present
administration. The amount expended for this
particular work lie SAGA SO per m nth, or $3.50 .
year, repres ented by the items of twelve watch
men and one supernten dent of dredge- boats.
And here it may be remarked that the classifi-
cation OF market men as officers is, to say the
least, very novel way OF designating ldboras
who are employed in sweeping such garbage AZ
acoumulates around the public markets.
To cum up. Contrast the on lay for May, 1876,
s7S64 So, with that for May 1877, 1906 20. Garry
out the comparison for the whole year-lS76,
$Ss,S7A SO; 1877, 5000 40.
II will be etcelved that the city would have
experienced this year a reduction, or rather
saving, OF s22,3ll SO. to which may be ad ded the
expenses for dredRehoata, 1850; thereby making
a total saving Of $27,S6l 90.
All OF the foregoing figures aud facts are SUBJ
mitted to an interested but unprejudiced public.
In conclusion. wish to state that have not
instituted the above comparison to justify my
seif for any alleged extravaganza, but merely to
show that what may appear q too numerous list
OF officers has be en- found. by my predecessors as
well as myself, essential for the proper conduct
OF the affairs Of this department

jolly friend Tiisconi has the coolest and most
pleasant place TO enjoy meal. The restaurant
being situated out on the wharf, has the advsn-
tage OF getting the breeze from any point of the
compass. Tiisconi's repu alton as caterer of
good things is not Of TO. da'; his bar is stock
with the fiaest of wines and liquors, and what is
the mcss ssential in these hard times his pric @

two of lime, two of sawdust, and five of

mixed dry with the cement and sand.
IT is well to know that carbolic acid,
so useful as a disinfectant, is a deadly
poison when taken into the stomach,
Several deaths have occurred in England
through drinking it by mistake, and it
has been current that no antidote to il
has yet been found; but a physician
writes to a London paper to say that, &C.
cording to Huseman, an efficient remedy
is found in saccharate of lime, and that
ordinary liquid calcis saccharatus (B.
P.) may be used for the purpose.
A VERY important work is to let of
any water that accumulates upon the
surface. This requires constant atten,
ton, and the use of a hoe or a shovel.
Whether therei is a crop in the ground OIL
not, it is equally necessary to do this
thoroughly, else the soil is soaked and
dries very slowly. The amount lost
through water remaining upon fields
would each year buy for every farmer
who permits it a good paper and more
books than he could well study in a year
B~arn-yards, especially, should be freed
from water; the wash from the roo.
should be carried off before it has soaked
through the manure and dissolved out
| all the valuable parts of it.

How TO BURN KEROSENE WITHOUT
DANGER.-Cram the wick into the
lamp, fill up the interstices with sponge,
and saturate the whole thoroughly with
kerosene; as long as any oil remains in
the wick the lamp keeps burning, and no
danger need be apprehended from upset
ting and even breaking the lamp. A
lamp SO used is perfectly safe.

Fart of this; let it remain a few minutes
and wash off in soft luke-warm water
when dry anoint with fresh grease. Re

cure the most obstinate cases. 1t acts
like magic.

bowl with thin slices of sponge-cake OIL
almond cake. Pour on sufficient white
cordial to dissolve the cake then rub off
on pieces of loaf-sugar, the yellow rind
of two lemons, and dissolve the sugar in
a pint of rich cream. Squeeze the juice
of the lemons on some powdered sugar
and add it gradually to Sshe cream beat
the cream to a stiff froth, and then pile
it on the dissolved cake in the glass

Strange disappearance are by no
means uncommon in these days; but n
of these mysteries which, according to a
correspondent of one of the German pa
pers, has lately occurred in Russia, is
only startling. An express train in that
country, carrying six million of rubles,
not only failed the other day to reach its
destination, but has altogether disap-
peared, without leaving the slightest
traces affording a clue as to what has be-
come of it. That the train should be
stopped and the money taken is COL
ceivable; but that the thieves should
actually carry off not only rubles, but
engine, tender, vans, carriages, and all,
is SO " uncanny" an incident as to raise
ground for suspicion that the powers of
darkness have been at work. At any
rate, the story is most uncomfortable
one, and it is to be hoped a new horror
is not about to be added to railway tray-
cling by the total disappearance of trains.
1t may be imagined how painful a SEN
sation would be created if the Flying
Dutchman" or some other fast and
famous train was never seen or heard o.
again after leaving London. Such a ca
tastrophe would be if possible, even
worse than a collision.

Details of the fighting on the 4th inst,

sides fought with great bravery the whole

Montenegrins have again intrenched them

A Young Girls Supernatural and
ElusiUe BedfeILOtU,

The good people among the hills of
Morris County, N. j., have found excite
ment in the case of a young girl said to
be "~grievously vexed by the devil" and
whose condition is as unaccountable as it
is deplorable. The girl, according to the
Worlds informant, is the daughter of
Elijah Nichols, blacksmith of the Glen
don Iron Company at Hurdtown. She
predicted evil against her fifteenth birth
day, which fell on the 18th of October
last, and since that date she has been
bed-ridden and paralyzed. At times
there appears under the counterpart of
her bed a presence a. of a rat, a rabbit,
or a cat swiftly moving from place to
place, and eluding detection. In vain
is the bed stripped, OF the patient re-
moved to another place; the "presence"
is only powerless to act when the mother
sleeps with the child. The physicians,
no less than the clergy, and the common
folks of all the countryside are baffled.
Crowds come daily to see the mystery.
On one recent occasion, Mr.. Richards,
the Mayor of Dover, held his stiff hat
above the presence" and the hat re-
ceived a blow that crushed it. Violent
blows have been given to the hand, to a
cane, and to other objects held out over
the place where the "~presence" was,
and, needless to say, attempts to grab
the "presence" has failed. All the while
the girl lies moaning as if in terror OF
pain, and her position in the bed would
be plainly such as to show that the
mysterious movements were not caused
by her. The girl has been known tc
abstain from all food for the space of ff
teen days, and for some weeks past she
has only received a little milk daily, YET
her face is fair, and, when visitation il
not nigh, her sleep is apparently health
full. Her parents are plain and honest
people, who view this as IN affection
not to be turned to account for notoriety
or money. The neighbors, unable tt
account for it in any other way, have
solemnly decreed witchcraft against al
old woman living among them, and
charms are in active demand.
