ABOUT TEA KETTLES.

EVERY good housewife knows that an
iron kettle used for heating water that
hold lime in solution, will in short time
become coated with that substance.
This being poor conductor of heat, it
will of course take longer time TO heat
the water than when the kettle is new.
Copper or tin vessels do not become
coated with lime. The reason is that
iron has an affinity for lime, which the
other metals have not. But this affini-
ty can be overcome by coating the inner
surface of the vessel with compound Of
tannic acid and iron, which is soluble
in water and will not precipitate lime
This is easily done. Take new tea
kettle and put handful Of oak bark
into II, all it with water and keep II
boiling for three or four hours, nliine It
up from time b time ~ the water boils

EmBszzLEMEsr OF GOODS.

A case of embezzlement was brought to
light on Saturday in which between three
and four hundred dollars worth of goods had
been quietly disposed of by All Chow, a Chi
nese manufacturer ON / street, near Second,
which were the property of L. Elkus & Co.
All Chow has for quite length of time been
manufacturing flannel shirts, blouses and
overalls for this firm, they furnishing the ma.
terial and he doing the work of making. For
some time the return of completed garments
was short of the amount called for by ma
terial taken to cut up. The firm spoke to
An Chow repeatedly about it, but the latter
claimed that bis sewing machines were out of
order SO that he could not get them done, and
he wanted funds to get them repaired. The
firm lent him so for this purpose, and yet
the matter was not corrected.
On Saturday Mr.. Elkus applied to Chief
harcher IN the matter, who, with the assist
ance of officers Carroll, Rider and Brissell
made an inyesti CATION. All Chow was taken
to the police headquarters and searche !, and
several tickets from Chinese pawn shops
found 10 bis possession. He was then taken
pack to his shop, at request of MIR. Elkus,
where he was expected to show up some Of
the goods, but soon after arriving there he
darted out of a back door and disappeared
among the limitless. runways with which
Chinatown is honeycombed. Some time
after Max Brown got track of the escape in
the upper part of Chinefe building, when
An Chow made desperate leap down
long flight OF stairs for the street, and Brown
followed in ike manner and secured his man,
and he was taken by the officers and locked
up.
The pawn-tickets were then presented to
the Chinese shops. ard IL pairs of fine red
wGolen drawers and y pairs of overalis were
obtained from one, and 50 blue cloth blouses
and q pairs overalls at another, al with the
mark Of L. Elkus & Co. upon them. Sub
sequently S. Conveys secondhand clothing
store, en- X street near Front was visited,
and II pairs of drawers and % pairs of overalls
were found upon which pieces of cloth were
stitched over The trade mark of Elkus & Co,
and the size of the garments marked with
pencil upon these pieces to conceal the fact
shat they were put on to cover up the name
of the owners of the goods. The officers con-
tinued the search and found at Zemanskys
place, between | and j, sc pairs more OF
overalls and % pairs of drawers.
There are still large number of articles
missing. but All Chow says he sold them and
can't tell now where they are. Eight sewing
machines belonging to All Chow have been
taken by Chief Karcher to the Police Station
to await the result of the case aud make
good any further deficiencies caused by the
WAYS that are dark and tricks that are
vain of this interesting operator.
