learn that ii. l.. Petty, Of Lawrence,
had come to Topeka and committed
suicide. The facts Of the case are as
follows: For long time Mr.. Petty had
been out Of work, and was engaged to
be married TO a young lady in Law
renee, on the eth inst, and had become
somewhat discouraged with his finan-
cial reverses. He has been in state
of intoXication for almost three weeks,
and this accounts partly for his act.
Mr.. Bramwell, who has lately taken
the management Of the Post, employed
him as foreman, and under contract
Petty was to take charge of that estab-
lishment this morning. lie, in accord
ance with the agreement, came to To
peka and went to work, almost sobered
up and entirely conscious of his duties.
Yesterday Mr.. Bramwell took a revol-
yer from him, which he had borrowed
from some person. This morning
about ten o'clock he called at Mr.. Bram-
wells room and asked for the revolver;
said he wanted to return it. Mr.. Bram-
well, suspecting all was right, gave it
to him. Mr.. Petty started from the
room in seemingly good spirits, but a
minute later Bramwell heard a click of
the hammer and rushed out of his
room, but before he could reach Mr..
Petty he had pulled the trigger again
and fell victim to the work of his own

a Romantic Adventure.

New YORK Special Dispatch
Recently Miss Lillian Lawrence OF
Kentucky, while on a visit to Smith.
town, Long Island, was sitting in car
riage at the postOflice, alone, waiting fol
the mail, when the horses took fright
and dashed off at full speed. She
caught up the rains and guided them
with great skill for several miles, when
arriving at the top of a hill, where an
accident seemed imminent, she dropped
the reins, gathered up her skirts and
jumped from the carriage. She fortu.
nately received but few scratches and
bruises. She was soon found by those
who had followed in hot haste, fearing
the worst. Among them was j. Louis
Smith, a large landed proprietor, lin
cal descendant Of the earliest settler In
Smithtown, who was so much impress
ed by the great courage and presence Of
mind displayed by the young lady that
he straightway fell in love with her.
The result was an engagement, and the
marriage is soon to take place.

Lennox, at the distance at which she
kept him, looked on almost heartbroken
varying between wrath, jealousy, pride
and despair.
"Nannie," said he, one morning when
he found her for a moment alone, chow

said coldly.
"But, Nannie-"
"Well, if you are not pleased with the

asked.

his name for the first time since he
came.
"But, Lennox, dear if you 60 away

ClOudlBursts-A Scientific Treatise on
These Phenomena.

AT the recent session of the National
Academy of Sciences at Washington,
Mr.. William Ferrel, of the United States
Coast Survey, discussed the important
meteorological subject, "Cloud-bursts.
These always occur, he said, in the in
torior of tornado. The primary cause
of tornado is difference of density aris-
ing from difference of temperature be-
tween the internal central part and the
surrounding parts of the atmosphere.
This only occurs on an unstable state of
the air, in which the temperature of the
surrounding air decreases more rapidly
with altitude than the interior ascending
column. Since the interior ascending
column diminishes with altitude less
rapidly than the surrounding quiescent
air, this interior part is much warmer,
and, consequently, ascends very rap
idly, and the air from surrounding parts
flows in below to supply the ascending
current, as in the case of a chimney
when the interior once becomes warmer
than the surrounding air without. In
addition to this difference of tempera-
ture and density, the air must have an
initial gyratOry motion, almost imper-
oeptible, it may be, at short distance
from the center, but as it is drawn in it
runs into rapid gyrations near the CEN
ter, lust as in the case OF water running
through small hole in the bottom of a
basin of water. If the gyrations above
and below had the same velocity, the
violence of the gyrations and the press
ure toward the center below would de-
pend upon differences of temperature
only between the interior and exterior
parts. But on account of the great tric-
ton near the earth's surface, the gyra-
tions are much retarded there, and, con-
sequently, the centrifugal force which
prevents the rush of the air, in some
measure, TO the center. If the differ
ence of barometric pressure between the
central and external parts were thirty
millimeters, and no centrifugal force be-
low or friction TO resist this pressure
according TO the laws of spouting fluids
the ascending current in the interior
would be about 80 meters per second
II the gyrating velocity below were only
one-half as much as above, the centrl
fugal force would be only one-quartel
as much, and supposing that this trlc
| ton We're TO resist one-hah of the press
ure below toward the center, we should
still have residual pressure which woulC
cause an ascending velocity of about 81
meters per second.
This theoretical velocity is obtained
upon no extravagant assumptions, ans
that such velocities do exist in tornadoe
is confirmed by observations OF thel
mechanical effects. 1t will only be nee
essary TO refer TO one well-authentioate'
case of this sort, given in the signs
service report at Mount Carmel, Ill
1877. The ascending currents OF tol
nado carried a church steeple, glide

COlOring Butter.

THERE are several methods employed
by old and experienced dairymen for
preparing annatto for coloring butter,
only few of which space will permit us
TO give here. Melt about, say, pound
of butter, so that the heavy part may
sink TO the bottom, and pour the light
clear fat on the top into another dish
Into the fat poured off, put a piece of
annattO, about the size of walnut,
wrapped up in linen cloth, and place
the vessel again over the fire. The col
oring matter strains through the cloth,
and turns the butter brown-red, when it
should be allowed to cool off. When
the butter is to be colored, some of this
is melted, sailed and mixed very care
fully into the butter after washing. The
quantity to be mixed will depend on the
shade of color the maker wishes to inn
part to his butter, and little practice
soon enables him to take the right guam
tity. Great care should, of course, be
taken TO work the butter thoroughly, as,
if streaked or marbled, it will, most
probably, fetch lower price in the
market than it would if uncolored. The
better way is to use the annatto in the
cream, and then during the process of
churning, it becomes perfectly incorpo-
rated with the mass and gives an even
shade throughout the butter without
any trouble. A simple recipe for cut
ting the annatto for this purpose is as
follows: Dissolve a half pound of
concentrated potash in five quarts of
water, by heating and stirring. Pour
off the lye from the sediment, add one
pound of the best annatto and dissolve
ii. Boil gently for twenty-five minutes,
by placing the mixture in a kettle sur
rounded by water, so as to prevent
scorching or burning. Then let the
mixture settle; rack It off, and strain
through a fine cloth, and bottle for
use. BY measuring the quantity of
cream and the proportion Of annatto for
the desired shade, uniform color for
different churnings may be obtained.
When the annatto is cut by an alkali,
like potash, the coloring sometimes
gives a slight reddish tinge to the but
ter, while it is claimed that annatto
prepared in the following manner pro-
duces a golden hue: Take two ounces
of best basket annatto and dissolve il in
a quart of soft, cold, water. 1t should
be shaken well in order that the annatto
may be thoroughly dissolved; then
strain the liquid through a cloth, and
add teacupful of any good dairy salt,
and put the liquid in bottle for use.
TO make a golden yellow, one teaspoon
full of the liquid to six quarts of cream
is added TO the cream at the commence
ment of churning .-Raral NeS0 Yorker.

How Tommy TIngIe Ran Away.

"CoME, Tommy, want you to rock
the cradle" OF course Tommy Tingle
did not hear his mothers call, for he
did not move.
Tommy, do you hear meP want
you to rock the baby to sleep" Some
evil spirit passed by at that moment,
and left ugly marks on Tommy Tingle's
face.
"Ye-es, hear,n he drawled.
"Well, come at once. Baby is cry
ing, and must finish this work before
supper"
Another evil spirit came along, and
think he must have been Chief Hasty
Pudding Stirrer to the Great King of
Badman's Land, for as Tommy turned
into the house he knew something about
him which ought to be calm and quiet
was getting into fearfully rutfled con-
dition. How that something did
boil and bubble and rage and dash and
tear about, just like an angry little
brook after it has fallen over a great
rock.
Just AS Tommy touched the cradle
the Chief Hasty Pudding Stirrer to the
Great King Of Badman's Land made
another wild dash into the something,
and in an instant it--well, it "slopped
over"
Il don't see why fellow can't be let
alone. Don't want to be rocking babies
and doing things all the time.n An
other turn by the Chief Hasty Pudding
Stirrer, and then another "slop over. -
81 won't stand It'll I'll run away
I've had enough of rocking babies, and
bringing in wood and coal, and doing
things, and I'll go away from them!'
And so the Chief Hasty Pudding Stirr-
or to the Great King of Badman's Land
continued to stir the something" in
Tommy Jingle, and the something
continued to slop oyer' until there
was a pretty mess of it.
At last the baby was fast asleep, and
Tommy Tingle grasped his hat and
ran away. He rushed down the street
like a wind-sprite, taking no notice oi
anything or anybody, until suddenly he
found himself in a crowd gathered about
the Opera House.
"Hullo! what's thispn
''See that rope stretched across the
streetPn said a street urchin at Tom
my's elbow. YES" replied Tommy
