KILLED BY Spirits.

The quantity of alcoholic liquor that
Is sufficient to kill, if taken at q single
draught, is being determined satisfactor-
lily by actual experiment. The other
day an aged colored man in Texas
drank three pints of whisky and fell
dead. A German paper now tells Of a
woman who has made similar expert
ment in a tavern in the village of Wirr-
witt, near Breslau, where she and her
husband, being engaged jointly as trav-
cling vendors of lamp-black-a business
that is q recognized specially in Ger
many-had put up for the night. The
feat was occasioned by a boast made by
her, in the course of conversation with q
number of tavern loungers, that she
could drink pint of brandy at single
draught if any one of her hearers had
the ability to pay for it. The offer was
taken up and she slowed the brandy
away as proposed without winking-
Then, however, she sat down and COW
cred her face with her hands, and when,
after some time, her husband, becoming
alarmed, tried to- arouse her, it was dis
covered that she was dead.

A Miniature Steamboat.

Mr.. Jacob Powell, an old and we'll
known farmer of Logansport, Ind, has
built and fitted up in that city minia-
ture steamer, in which he proposes to
make the entire trip to New Orleans.
The boat is only twenty-five feet long,
but is provided with neat and service
able engine, water wheels, ETC., and is
covered with stout canvas. Mr.. Powell
has his vessel loaded with provisions
and other things necessary for comfort
able journey, and is only awaiting the
disappearance of ice from the rivers be-
fore he starts down the current. 1t is
probable that one or two persons will
accompany Mr.. Powell on this voyage,
although he AYERS he will go alone and
unattended in case no acceptable per-
sons offer their company. The object of
the old man in making the trip is simply
pleasure. He has aptly named his YES
sci $ The Wanderer.'

The Speed of a Hound.

The hound is one of the fastest run
ming dogs, and, not being impeded by a
heavy body, possesses great endurance.
An evidence of this was shown the other
day by a hound belonging to Mr.. J. A.
Ford, of Battle Creek, Mich. Its owner
was stopping at village six miles from
the above place, and getting on the cars
with the intention Of returning home,
did not notice the absence of the dog.
He soon saw the hound, however, fol
lowing the train, which at that time was
running at the rate of eighteen miles an
hour. The animal reached home few
minutes after the train, having accom-
plished the six miles in thirty minutes.

HONE AND fARH.

FLoArTNG .IsLAND.-Beat the yelks Of
four eggs with two tablespoonful Of
sugar . teaspoonful Of -four; then stir
into quart of milk, and bring it to a
boil, stirring it all the time; have the
whites beat nicely, and slip it on the top
OF the milk, dipping little of it on to
cook the egg, then CRATE nutmeg over
the top; let it cool, and it is ready for
the table. - 80 -
BEEF LoAF.-Chop two pounds of
beef and three large slices of salt pork
fine; add four well-beaten eggs, half q
cupful of butter, and the inside of q me-
diminished loaf of bread, and season
with salt, pepper and spices if you like.
Form into q loaf, cover with cracker
crumbs, and bake an hour and a half.
If it does not stay in good shape, add
rolled cracker crumbs until it will.
THE old adage, "stuff a cold and
starve q fever" has been thoroughly
exploded by science and experience.
Often the best thing to do for a cold is
to starve it, to the extent, at least, of
giving the patient a very light and SIM
pie diet till the cold is broken. Modera-
ton in diet, or even q touch of actual
fasting by the sacrifice of meal or two,
will often prove better than medicine in
subduing the cold.
In France, when nice dress is packed
the skirt is covered with tissue-paper, so
that the folds of the material never come
in contact, and rolls and balls of paper
are placed here and there to keep
sleeve in shape, to support trimming
or to prevent a facing from becoming
crushed. In consequence of this care,
when the dress is lifted from a case or,
trunk, no matter how long it has lain
there, it is free from crease or mark.
A DELICIOUS lemon-jelly cake which
will keep well, and which is in fact bet
ter after having been kept for week, is
an easily obtained luxury. Take two
cups of sugar, half cup Of butter, one
cup of milk, three eggs, two and one.
half teaspoonfuls of bakingg-powder, and
three cups of -four. This makes five
layers. For the jelly use the grated rind
of two large lemons and the juice also,
one cup of sugar, one egg, half a cup of
tablespoonful of -four mixed with little
water; boil until it thickens and then
place between the layers Of cake. 81
The roots of shrubs and trees dug up
from the woods or fields should be
careIully covered TO SnlelO Lnem from
the sun and wind while they are being
carried home, and, indeed, until plant
ed. They should also be severely cut
back. The only reason why nursery
trees are more safely transplanted than
those from the fields and forests is that
a more abundant root growth has been
secured by transplanting. The old,
long, woody roots are cut away and
more compact growth of fibrous roots is
induced. A tree in the woods is sup
ported by long tap or surface roots, ex-
tending far away from the stem. These,
in ttansplanting, must be sacrificed.
The inequality. then, between what re-
mains and the stem and branches is
great. The latter must be cut back to
create new equilibrium. Unless so
treated, most forest trees will fail after
removal.-Rural NeO Yorker.

-"Calamity'' Lapham is the name OF
a man who lives in Ottumwa, Iowa. He
acquired his unhappy sobriquet from the
numerous accidents of which he was the
victim. He was shot q dozen or more
times during the war; was run over by
a caisson, and went to the bottom of the
Mississippi River with a transport sunk
at the siege of Vicksburg. Since the
war he has had the cholera, smallpox,
yellow fever, been bitten by snake,
struck by lightning, and had three ribs
broken by falling wall during an earth
quake in one of the South American
States. A few days ago his left hand
was cut off in an Ottumwa mill.

The McGregor Times tells of an old
man in Northern Iowa who some time
ago wrote to relatives in the East ask
ing aid, as there was to be hard winter
and he was likely to suffer. None re-
sponded except a niece, who was a
school-teacher, and who sent him $50,
and said she would send more as soon
as she drew her salary. He wrote back
that the $50 was plenty, and that she
need not send him any more. The old
man has since died and left the niece

Breaking Colts.

THERE may be something good and
useful thus far unwritten as to how to
break colt well. may be allowed to
try. When only about one week old,
put on the foal (and let remain) the head
part of halter. Soon after attach
hitch-reins, by which teach il to be led
and stand hitched quietly, without pull
ing backward. But, if not before, as
soon as weaned break to halter, then
commence to take up all it's feet and
clean hoofs with hook and short broom,
thus serving double purpose-by clean
illness to prevent thrush and slipping,
and also to get it well used to having its
feet handled preparatory to being shod
If of very large size, and showing con.
siderable 6 high stuff it may be well
to commence breaking to harness at one
and half years old. First, in stable,
put on all the harness, and spend con-
siderable time in adjusting each part
and buckling and unbuckling every
thing. Tie traces into breech-rings,
pretty closely drawn, buckle both girths,
use no blinds on bride, and only loose
check-rein. Let the colt stand several
hours at time with the harness on.
After some days of this usage, small
string of bells may well be attached to
the girth. Take the colt out of doors
with harness on, and, first in lot, after
ward in street, teach it to handily be
driven by the reins, and to turn out on
meeting teams and turn around corners.
Go different routes daily. Then teach
it to back, first by taking hold of the
bride, afterward by long reins. Always
on return home teach your colt to stand
still while being embarrassed. Three
weeks daily lessons of this kind, and
your colt will be fit to hitch to a light
but strong sulky. Not less than two
persons should be in active attendance
now; and first commence by simply
placing one off shaft in the holder, and
let the attendant barely keep it in
place with left hand, while he holds the
large ring of the bride bit with the right,
yourself meanwhile leading the colt for
ward by the opposite bit-ring. Should
the colt show signs of much fright, the
shaft may be removed from the holder
and gently let down on the ground;
then try again, and so on; when it cares
nothing for the suiky, then traces may
be hitched, etc. Thus the ultimatum of
good and easy breaking may be accom-
iplished, and SO moderately and gradual
" done that the colt will never know
when he is being broken Cor. National

TIE HORSE.

This morning two men fromthe country
were driving a horse hitched to a buggy
near the Pennsylvania railroad depot,
when the animal, a rather spirited one,
frightened at the cars. The driver Piled
the whip vigorously, and the horse being
unable to stand both that and the cars,
turned quickly around, throwing both men
from the buggy and breaking the shafts.
The animal was caught before he got far
and neither of the men were hurt.
William Crawford, man perhaps 60
years of age, who resides near Paradise.
came to town this morning. He was driv-

North Queen street. Near Orange the an
imal frightened at some boys and
started off ON asrun. Mr.. Crawford was
unable to hold him and he ran down
North Queen street, through Centre
square and out East King. At a point
near Demuth's tobacco STORE the wagon
collided with another, which was stand
ing near the curb. A wheel was torn
from Mr.. Crawford's wagon and he was
thrown out. His head was badly cut in
several places and he was taken into the
drug store Of DR.. H. B. Parry, where he
had his wounds dressed. The horse was
caught by Zach. Weaver in a short time.
The Inch pin was lost from the wagon
and that caused the wheel to come off.
Besides the breaking of one spoke, NO

DEFEKlsED BONDS.

Governs Schsme Declared to He Illegal.
PHILADELPHIA, April 21.-Judge Nc.
kennan, in the United States circuit court,
this morning, decided that the scheme Of
the Philadelphia & Reading railroad to
issue deferred income bonds is illegal and
that the corporation is not authorized BY
its charter or the statutes to make such
issue. The plan would not be legal un-
less it assumed the form of . loan, Of
which it had none Of the essential quail
ties. In closing his opinion Judge Nc.
KEENAN, said that the issue Of deferred
bonds is without warrant of law.
Judge Butler also read an opinion hav-
ing the same purpOrt, but devoting his
attention mainly to the issue in its
character of a loan. There is no such
thing known to commerce, he said, as an
irredeemable loan, and it appeared that
the defendants Intended to make the nro
posed issue sale of stock to be called by
another name.
Judge McKennan then closed the case
by saying, The result is that the order
Of November 1s ought to be revoked and
