A FEMININE WHITAKER.

From Birkenhead a remarkable story
comes. A certain widow, living near that
place, lately gave her servant notice to
leave on account of misconduct, but before
the notice expired there was an alarm of
burglars in the house The faithful do
nestle reused up her mistress shortly
after midnight with the news that two
men had broken in, but that she had
driven them off minus the booty they ex-
pected. There was abundant evidence to
show what the rufiians had attempted
broken pane of glass where entrance had
been obtained, disturbed plaster and foot
marks, an iron bar, masks thrown away,
and clothing packed up in readiness for
flight. The devoted housemaid had
been threatened with the iron bar,
and had actually received an IN
stallment of burglarious vengeance
in the form of severe blow on the breast.
Need it be added that her grateful mistress
withdrew the notice TO leave, and rewarded
the girl with gratuity of thirty shillings,
besides giving her fortnight's holiday to
visit her friends in Ireland? She went on
this leave of absence, but while shewa away
those inquisitive police found out "some-
thing" and when the heroine returned she
was interviewed by the local constabulary,
who roundly charged her with having got
the thirty shillings under false pretenses.
Worse still, the girl, after little fencing,
admitted that she had got up" the bur
glar episode herself, and had arranged the
implements and other proofs for greater
effect, having been prompted partly by a
wish to make her mistress smart for the
notice to leave, and partly by craving for
holiday. London Telegraph.

THE HYDRAULIC MINING SYSTEM AP-
Piled TO DREDGING.

Diamond Reef, in New York harbor, has
always been troublesome to navigation,
and many efforts have been made to re-
move it. Ali the larger rock masses were
blown up and removed and then nothing
remained but a mass of hard-pan contain
ing powders, gravel and sand. Blasting
was not available, and efforts were then
made to mine the reef by means of
powerful water-jet, precisely as gravel
banks are torn down by stream from a
hose in hydraulic mining. 1t was found
that with powerful steam pump, and an
iron pipe, and hose lashed TO a spar and
held in position by guy-ropes suspended
from the dredging scow, the clay could be
easily torn up. This sub-agueous jet,
when directed downward, soon made
hole or ''pot III the reef, and much of the
fine material was swept away into deep
water by the tide, or could be raked away
by divers, or by means of rakes moved by
steam power from the scow and guided by
ropes When the Jet was directed against
the side or face of the reef, it was rapidly
torn down, until the accumulation of the
loosened material blocked up the jet and
stopped the work. This obstruction led
to the invention of second and quite
novel application of the same idea. The
reef is surrounded by deep water, and it is
not necessary to dredge up this loosened
material, but merely to push it short dis
lance away into deep water. A long iron
pipe of large diameter was then fitted with
hose, the nozzle being placed within the
pipe, under one end and pointed toward
the other end. A grating was then fitted
over the end next the hose, and the whole
afr1s euc.,nuIaA lyrt nba a
horizontal position from the scow, with the
inlet end next to the reef The other hose
was then brought to bear on the reef, and
a powerful stream was driven through
each hose. 1t will be observed that the
water-jet directed through the large
pipe formed an injector inducing pow
erful current through the pipe. The outer
hose stirred up the gravel (the grating
keeping back all the large stones), the in
duced current sweeping all the loosened
sand and gravel through the pipe, and dis
charging it at the other end, in deep wa
ter. A long series OF experiments with the
apparatus was tried, and it was found to
work to great advantage in removing all
except the largest powders, even in very
deep water and in strong tide.way.
When the discharge end of the pipe was
raised to the surface, it was found that the
stream of mingled sand and gravel and
water was thrown ont of the top, quite
clear of the surface, so that by proper ar
rangement it could have been caught in
floating barges or in sluices leading to the
shore In this instance this was not neces-
sary, as the aim was simply to sweep the
material away into deep water. Modifica-
tions of this idea Of stirring up sand bar
by hydraulic jet have already been tried
elsewhere, but not on SO effective scale,
and the valuable suggestion has been made,
that the injector apparatus would be use
full in raising all kinds OF light material in
dredging, and in lifting argentiferous sands
in sea.coast mining.

AN EAGLE EYE AND A DOG.

A oon-keeper IN San Antonio kept
beside, or rather behind his saloon, in the
backyard, an honest watchdog of the army
size caliber. 1t was as big as calf, and
as vicious as the editor of party organ
1t would bite everybody except the saloon
keeper. He fed it regularly. 1t loved
him, and would lick him all over when it
got chance. Well, one afternoon there
was a crowd of three or four gentlemen in
the saloon playing cards, passing the social
bowl and talking politics. After while
they discussed dogs. The saloon-keeper
Dragged about his dog that nobody could
60 near him without needing doctor and
a tailor right off, The dogs christian name
was Nero. Among the delegates was a bad
man with an eagle eye, who said he
had never been able to find out yet what
fear was He said be could tame lion
with his eagle eye. He had been drinking
a little. The saloon. keeper said lac would
wager the drinks for the crowd that the
bad man with the eagle eye could not con-
ciliate Nero. The bet was taken, but the sa-
loon keeper made it a condition that the
bold, bad man was not to hurt poor Nero,
but only to quell him. The bad man
promised not to injure anything except
Neros nerves. He, the b. b. man, had
taken in the meantime several more
drinks. He went boldly out into the
back yard He took his eagle eye with
him. Very likely he would have
quelled Nero if the dog had only waited
for the bad man to bring his eagle eye
to the right focus, but while he was bring
ing it to the right focus Nero grabbed him
by one arm without saying a word. He
held ON like a Congressman to a second
term. Sc Let us know when you have got
him quelled, " said the barkeeper. Bring
me gun, said the bold, bad man in an
agonized tone. ''Shoot HIM with your
eagle eye, F" said all the spectators, laugh
ing iendishly. The bad man howled like
a man having tooth pulled, but all the
mean saloon keeper did was to tell him to
let go his dog. Finally they were parted
by their friends. For week afterwards
the bold, bad man could not crook his ell
bow. This kind of dog is a nuisance, and
ought to have muzzle put on 1t. The
muZzle of a shotgun fits best

CAUTIONS IN EATING.

|. OF course don't eat to much. The
digestive fluids are limited in quantity.
All above enough is undigested, irritating
and weakening the system, and often caus-
ing paralysis of the brain by drawing on
the nervous force more rapidly than it is
generated.
3 Don't eat between meals. The stom-
ach must rest, or it will sooner or later
break down. Even the heart has to rest
between the beats.
g. Don't eat full meal when exhausted
The stomach is as exhausted as the rest of
the body.
4. Don't take lunch at noon and eat
heartily at night. The whole digestive
system needs to share in the rest and re-
cuperation of sleep. Besides, the ten.
dency is to put a full meal into weakened
stomach.
5. Don't substitute stimulus for food
like many women who do half a days work
on strong tea or coffee. As well, in the
case of horse, substitute the whip for
oats.
6. Don't have a daily monotony of
dishes. Variety is necessary for relish,
and relish is necessary for good digestion.
7. Don't eat blindly. There can be
nothing in the body-muscles, membranes,
bones, nerve, brain-which is not in cur
food One article furnishes one or more
elements, and another others. We could
starve ON fine -four Some articles do not
nourish, only warm.
s. Eat according to the season-one-
third less in summer than ill winter. In
the latter fat meat, sugar and starch are
appropriate, as being heat makers; in the
former, milk, vegetables and every kind
of ripe fruit.
9. Eat with cheer Cheer promotes d.
gestron care, fret and passion arrest it,
Lively chat, racy anecdotes and innocent
gossip are better than Halford sauce.

FossI. TREEs.-An interesting discovery
has been made at Edge Lane Quarry, Old
ham, England. The quarrymen, IN the
course of their excavations, have come upon
what has been described as fossil forest.
The trees number about twelve, and some
of them are two feet in diameter. They
are in good preservation. The roots can
be seen interlacing the rock, and the fronds
of the ferns are to be found imprinted on
every piece of stone. The discovery has
excited much interest in geological circles
round Manchester, and the forest has
been visited by large number of persons.
The trees belong to the middle coal-measure
period, although it has been regarded as
somewhat remarkable that no coal has been
discovered near them. The coal is found
about $50 yards beneath. Professor Boyd
Dawkins of Owens College has visited the
quarry and declares there is not such a
sight in Europe. Il London Times.

An AGRICULTURAL ITEM.-Some women
make great fuss and labor hard in trying
to persuade a hen not to set. The same
amount of work and ingenuity directed in
another channel might revolutionize society
in some particular, but she never thinks OF
that. To prevent a fifty cent hen from
setting woman will devote s. worth of
time and labor. But a certain New Jersey
woman is an exception. She placed red
hot glass egg in the nest, and the hen soon
lost all appetite for setting. The fact that
the barn burned down and the hen per-
ished may deter some women from trying
the same experiment, but it can be recon-
mended as going right to the spot.
