&" PresdcSpernatiOn.'

An old-tin.e Baptist preacher of
this city. who has retired from &C
tive gospel work, but who still keeps
a firm eve on the faith, has . had
q little experience with a ,o."'"a

seriously.
Meeting the colored man, the
preacher said: "Dave, if you don t

Things Worth Knowing.

1. That fish may be scaled much
easier by dipping into boiling water
about a minute.
2. That fish may as we'll be scaled,
If desired, before packing down in
salt; though, in that case, do not
scald them.
8. Salt fish are quickest and best
freshened by soaking in sour milk.
4. That milk which ia turned or
changed may be sweesaned and rem
der d tit for use again, by stirring in
> little soda
5. That salt will curdle new milk;
hence, in preparing milk porridge,
gravies, cts, the salt should not be
added until the milk is prepared.
6. That fresh meat, after begin
ming to sour, will sweeten if placed
out of the doors in the cool over
night.
Z. That clear boiling water will re-
move tea-stains and many fruit
stains Pour the water through the
stain, and thus prevent its spreading
over the laDf!c.
8. That ripe tomatoes will remove
ink and other STAINS from white
cloth; also, from the hands.
3. That a teaspoonful of turpen
tine boiled with your white clothes
will aid the whitening process.
10. That boiled starch is much i'm
proved by the addition of little
sperm, or little salt, or both, OF a
little gum arabic dissolved.
Ii. That bee,wax and salt will
mare your Aat-irons as clean and

ENGLISH GRAIN.

Prices Generally Lower and Business Dull
LONDON, Dec. 24-The Mark Lane Ex-
press. which on account of the holidays is
published to-day instead of Monday next,
in its review of the British grain trade
fer the present week, says: Land is gen
orally too wet for cultivation Samples
at hand show very large proportion of
the English wheat crop injured by wet in
stack. Wheat in good condition sells
readily. Prices, red, are low Large sup
ply dry foreign malts. Sale of inferior
English red is very difficult The yield
of the wheat crop of 1880 is turning
out to be less than the
published estimates. Barley continues
to decline in consequence of large sup
plies, though fine samples are very scarce
and occasionally command fancy prices.
Oats firmer. Foreign grain was inanimate
and dropping through the week. Every
thing was cheaper. Wheat cargoes have
been declining slowly but surely Amcri-
can red winter on passage Offered at 45s
Cd 46s Sd per quarter. Maize continues
slow. American is quoted to-day at 26s
Sd. Imports into the United Kingdom
for the week ending the 18th was 1910
$50 cwts. wheat; 257, 1913 cwts flour.

Main street Cares Ia,

Thursday evening persons in the vicinity of
the new Pillsbury A mill, on the East Side,
felt the ground to tremble beneath their feet
as though shook by an earthquake. A hasty
Investigation led to the discovery that Main
street, in front of Crosswell's mill, which is
Immediately south of the Pillsbury A, had
fallen in. In other words, the limestone ledge
forming the top of the tunnel and buried with
twenty feet of earth, had broken and fallen
down. The tunnel, which has an opening be
low the Chalvbeate spring, and extends up
under Main street to the Phoenix mill, was
built by the st. Anthony Falls Water Power
company several years ago, but has never been
in use. IL will be enlarged and form a
part of the immense new tunnel soon to he
built by the company on that side of the river.
About three yards square of the street fell, and
Ia a depth of eight feet in the lowest place.
The break included the sidewalk, and extended
up TO the very foundation of the Crosswell
mill. In fact, several cracks were made in the
walls: and pillar in the corner of the mill,
about fifteen feet high, fell out owing to the
sinking of The foundation.
A. TO the cause of the trouble it is asserted
that carly in the fall, probably three months
ago, leak sprung in the tunnel, and that ever
since the treacherous sandstone has been wash
ing out, creating large open space. 1t is also
claimed that the watchman Informed the com
