Wife that win wear.

A certain sort of talent is almost In

people should laugh over the same sort of

A Smart Wife.
Detroit Free Press

The other morning citizen called at
a hardware store on Woodward avenue
and said he wanted key to a certain
door in his house, and took up and car
ried away almost the first key handed to
him. On his way down town after din
ner he stopped and exchanged the key
for another, explaining that the first
wouldn't fit. These changes took place
twice day for the next four days, the
citizen being unable to get hold of key
to fit. On the sixth day he drove up to
the store with door on dray, and call
ing to the proprietor, he said:
Bring your box of keys out here and
we'll get fit to that lock- Here have
been running back and forth for about a
week, and might not have got fit for
whole month if my wife had not sug-
gested that bring the door down here.
Some of these women are mighty smart"
"But why didn't you take the lock off
and bring it down in your pocket% asked
the dealer.
The buyer looked at him in a vacant
way, stared hard at the door, and sat
down on the curbstone with the remark:

Feline Electricity.

The most remarkable invention in this

lightning. A great deal more damage
would doubtless have resulted il the
copper rod over which the battery was
stispefided had not suddenly become red
hot and burned the tails of the cats and
let them drop. " hen only moderately
strong current of electricity is desired,
it is obtained by densely populating the
small floor Of the cage, which is made Of
sheet copper, that being the best con-
ductor. The electricity thus generated
charges the copper floor Of the cage, and
as it cannot pass off TO the ground
through the glass insulators it seeks its
exit over the wires that are connected
by soldering to each end Of the copper
plate. For generating a powerful cur
rent, the cats are carefully and securely
tied tail to tall in pairs, and by the loop
thus formed they are suspended from
heavy insulated copper rod that passes
longitudinally through the cage, to the
ends of which are attached the telegraph
or telephone lines. asA ssH.

Negligent Husbands, Read This.
fBOston Journal.


Men should not allow their wives to
split wood; it is emphatically a mans
work, and a woman is likely to make a
bad job of it. Peter johnson of Rochester,
N. Y, however, left his wife without
frewood, and so she took an AK and
started for the woodpile to get supply
for herself. Selecting proper piece OF
wood, she struck at it several times with
out hitting it, and at last cleft it partly
in two. Thinking she could easily part
it with her hands, she inserted her
fingers in the crack and tried to spread
it apart Out dropped the ak, which
until this time had remained in the
wood, and the stick springing together,
imprisoned her fingers as in a wise. After
struggling awhile she picked up the ak
with her free hand, but in striking at the
cleft the blow missed and cut off one of
her fingers. She then gave it up, and,
with her fingers still held in the stick,
she managed to go to neighbours house,
where she received assistance.

onions, stick celery, bundle of sweet
herbs, few cloves, whole pepper, and salt

tonight at Cline's ranch on the Cim-

up all hope of securing the Indians,
and as his departure is tantamount to
declaration of war much anxiety is
felt as to his fate. There are several
hundred braves near Los Pinos, and
the whites all told will not number
over twenty-five. The roads are

keeping them quiet a little longer.
ouray, Animas City, Silverton and
settlements are greatly exposed. The
White river Utes have consumed all
the stores taken from the White river
agency, and are eager to make an at
tack on the Los Pinos agency. If
Hatch has left without the Indians, it
is considered certain that the war will
open at once. The Indians will strike
the first blow, as they have everything
their own way at the present, owing to
the removal of the troops to distant
points at Ouray's demand.

NEW GOVERNOR FOR UTAH.
Chas. f.. Ewing 10 Succeed GOV. En-,
cry.

Chns. f.. Ewing TO Succeed GOV. Em-
cry.
Washington, Dec. Pit is conf
IDENTIFY asserted here to-day that the ap-
pointment of Gen. Chas. E. Ewing. to
be governor of Utah territory, has been
definitely decided upon. Although a
brother of Gen. Tom Ewing he is an
uncompromising republican. This re-
port is probably premature, but Ewing
is very strongly supported, and his
chances for the appointment seem tie
be increasing daily. The president said
yesterday to some of Gov. Emery's
friends that he would reappoint him
if he believed that Emery had no SYM
pathy with or disposition to tolerate
polygamous mormonism, and if he be-
lieved that Emery was the man for an
emergency in case one should occur in
Utah. The intention of this remark
was of course that he did not so be-
lieve. There is no doubt that the po-
lygamists are henceforth to be vigor-
ously prosecuted, and it is understood
here that district attorney Vanzlle, who
has the prosecutions in charge, COM
plains that he has not had the full sup
pathy and support of Emery.
