said Mr.. Claverton, severely.
Before Alton could reply the door of
communication with the adjoining room
was thrown open, and pretty girl
made her appearance, looking pale and
agitated. Mr.. Claverton started vio-
lently at the apparition, and the room
seemed to swim round him. He only
just caught glimpse Of the lady's face,
for Alton quickly interposed, and led
her out gently, but firmly; but that
glance was sufficient to convey to his
bewildered mind that Atoms compan-
ion was not Mrs. Claverton!

To WRITTEN ivory knife handles and
piano KEYS wash them In strong solu-
tion of saltwater.
To BRIGHTEN q zinc bath-tub throw

To PREVENT the color in stockings
from running, soak them for four or five
hours before washing in alum water.
THE unpleasant odor produced by

THE best time to gather herbs for
winter use is when the plants are in
flower, but they should be harvested
when the flowers begin to fade.
To CLEAN MORE or gros-grain ribbon
dip it in a solution of ammonia and
water, and wrap it tightly around
book or bottle and let remain until dry.
MILK and warm water applied with
flannel cloth is very good for cleaning
white vanished paint, which should
never be cleaned with soap, as it turns

To WRITTEN and soften the hands use
q mixture of two parts glycerine, one

PRETTY and odd chair backs are made
of squares Of linen and satin. This
seems at first strange combination,
but the effect is excellent. Where the
squares are joined, cover the seams

may be left without ornamentation, and
all the work put on the linen ones.
Embroidery, or painting, or etching
are the favorite methods employed.
A PRETTY wall-splasher is made of

thus worked yields no crop, whereas on

to pay for the labor, while the land,
which has been two seasons in clover,
is left in prime condition for wheat or
any other grain crop. Summer fallow-
ing is relic of old-fogy farming. 1t is
a fight with nature, which aims to car
pet the surface with some kind of a

be clover, and the double work of clean

The Kings mon, when he had slain the boar,
Strung him aloft on the fishers oar,
And, two behind and two before,
in triumph bore him along the shore,
AN oarl" says the King; tits tribe! why 49,
Did the fisher frown and the good wife sigh?"
"A trifie, srel" was the fools reply;
~Then frown or laugh who Will; for 1,
Who laugh at all and am only clown,
viii never more laugh at tfifcs
A runner next day eaped down the sand.
And launched n skin from the fishers strand;
For he cried An army invades the lana!
The passes are seized on either hand!
And must carry my message straight'
Across the Lake To the castle gate
The castle IL neared, but the waves were great,
The fanged rocks fOamed like the Jaws or tate;
And, lacking an oar, the boat went down.
The furies laugh az tribes.
Tho swimmer against the waves began
To strive as "A valiant swimmer can;
"MethiniIs," said the fool, "twerc no bad plan
If succor wero sent the drowning mani!
To succOr periled pawn, instead,
The monarch, moving his rock ahead
Bowed over the chessmen, white and red
Gave chcckl then looked on the lake and said:
"The boat Is lost, the man viii drown!
Oh, King, beware OF trifes!
To the Lords and mirthful DANES the bard
Wass rolling his latest song the guard
Weiy casting dice In the castle yard
And the Captains all were drinking hard;
Then came the chief OF the halberdiers,
And told the Kings astonished ears:
AN army on every side appears!
An army with banners and bows and spcarsi
They have gained the wall and surprised the
town."
Our fates are woven of tri1esl
The red usurper reached the throne;
The tidings over the realm were blown;
And, flying To alien lands alone
With a trusty few. the King made moan.
But long and loudly laughed the clown;
We broke the oar, and the boat went down,
And so the messenger CHANGED to drown,
The messenger lost, we lost the town;
And the loss of the town has cost a crown;
And all these things are trifesl"

st. George and the Dragon.

According to the Roman Acta Sane
forum, st. George was born in Cappa-
docia, and received from his parents a
careful Christian training. He early
showed a fondness for war, joined the
army of the Emperor Diocletian, sad
soon rose to high rank. But, when the
persecution of the Christians became
bitter, he went to the Emperor, and
confessing his faith, demonstrated
against his cruelty. He was immedi-
ately arrested, and suffered martyrdom
April 23, 303. The anniversary of his
death is observed by the Catholic
church as holy day. Around the few
facts of his history many traditions and
myths have gathered. Among these is
the story of his Staying dragon which
had haunted certain neighborhood
and seized and carried off one or more
beautiful maidens. According to one
account he Is said TO have reappeared
nearly seven hundred years after his
martyrdom and fought with the famous
crusader, Godfrey of Bouillon, ut the
battle of Antioch, and to have revealed
himself to Richard, the hearted
at the siege of Acre, predicting the,
hero's victory. This latter narrative
led to his being more highly honored
than ever in England, of which he was
the patron saint. In the Saxon Mar
tyrology the Odd of April was held
sacred to him alone of all the saints.
This feast was celebrated with jousts
and tournaments as long as chivalry
endured, and for years afterward, until
after the Reformation whom Oman
Elizabethput stop to the pomp, feast
ing, and drinking which had long mark
eel its annual return.

TELEGRAPHIC
A Give-Awsy on Roseeranz.

Washington, = Congressman
berry, whose name appeared among
the signatures to the letter sent by
a number of democratic members
OF the House, to Gen. R0seerlnS,
asking him to offer himself as II
candidate for reelection toCongress,
authorizes the statement that he did
not sign the letter and was not
asked to sign it; and that lie learned,
to-day, that his name was signed by
Rosecran's clerk. He is not pleased
with the liberty taken in using his
name. The attention OF Gen. Rose
Grams having been called to this
statement OF Berry's he explained
the circumstances as follows: lie
said, while at the capitol Oh
Tuesday, he had given him an
envelope containing the letter
in question. On reaching his
own room and examining the
letter he found that Berry's sig
nature was not attached, and called
the attention of a friend Of Berry's,
Colonel DenniSOn, to the fact. The
latter then said to him (Rosecrans)
that he knew Berry was in accord
with the sentiment Of the letter,
and assuming that the absence OF
his signature was unintentional,
signed thus, G. P. Berry, per d.
This morning Dennison informed
Berry of his action, and the latter,
while expressing regret, said he
was willing TO let it stand. He ex-
planned, also, according to Colonel
Dennison, that he agreed with the
signers of the letter, and the senti-
ments therein expressed; but owing
to his own candidacy, he was I'M
willing to directly antagonize inter
ests in opposition to ROsecrans'
nomination, and that this had been
the reason Of his failure to sign the
letter.

By an Associated Press dispatch
elsewhere, it will be seen that ''Pearl

and a quarter dash at the st. Louis
races on Wednesday. "PearI Jen-
nings" is the filley it was desired by
parties at Denver to match against
Red Boy" for $4,000 a side, mile
dash, the offer being made at the
same time as the proposition was
made TO run "Wildmoor" against
cred Boys" for $4,000 a side, mile
and half dash. The latter race
was made and "Wildmoor" is now
here. In regard to the other propo-
sition, Salt Lakers offered to run
"Euchre" against pearl Jennings"
mile dash. for $4,000 a side, but the
offer was not accepted. 1t is to be
hoped this fine filley will be here to
participate in the races of the Utah
Jockey Club.

Re nance of the Brooklyn
Bridge.

By the end of March of next year the
great Brooklyn bridge will probably be
ready for use, says New York letter
The trustees want $3.50, 900 to finish
it with. If they keep within their
present estimate, which is against all
probability and precedent, the bridge
will have cost in all just $l4,793, ,941.-
l9. Leaving the finances of the bridge
out of sight, and the question of its
public usefulness, there is no disputing
its triumphant success as piece of en-
gineeriIg. There is nothing like it in
the world. Few people who wonder
at the twin giants OF granite that face
each other across the river, or admire
the line curve of the massive cables,
know anything about the romance of
its construction. The story of the
great engineer who designed and
made the bridge is an interesting,
and in some respects, wonderful
one. His health was wrecked in the
compressed atmosphere of the caissons
used in laying the pier foundations.
A most distTes sing nervous malady
confined him for years to his room
and bed Instead of becoming VIC
tim of the bridge, his resolnte will
made him its conqueror and hero.
His bed was at window. over.
looking the river, and from
this observatory, with telescope
always in his trembling fingers, aud
plans and projections all around him,
he watched and directed the slow pro-
gress of an army of workmen. A
faithful and intelligent woman was bis
lieutenant. She mastered all the COM
plicated details of the work of con-
northumberland to reports, gave
commands, solved difficulties, hghtened
in thousand wcys the labors of the
invalid.
If the truth were engraved on the
surface of one of the granite piers of
the bridge, the legend would read:

Bank Stock as Collateral.

Banking institutions generally are
interested in the decision which Judge
Acbeson rendered last Thursday in the
U. S. Circuit Court in the case of John
n. Purviance, Receiver of the First
National Bank of Butler, against the
Fifth National and the Citizens Ma
tional Banks of Pittsburgh The lat
ter were holders of stock of the Butler
bank, which had been placed with
them by President Riddle, of the But
lcr institution, as security for loans ad-
vanced by them to his bank. The di-
rectory of the bank bad given him this
stock TO bring to Pittsburgh to negotia-
the receiver made assessments to meet
its losses, he assessed oyer $1,000
against the Citizens Bank as its pro-
portion on the stock in its possession,
and nearly $4,000 against the Fifth
National Bank. They fought the assess
ments on the ground that the stock
was not taken by regular transfer, but
as security for loans ). that they were
never published as stockholders, as re-
quired by law; that they had sufficient
original security for the loans, and did
not care about the stock as collateral,
which was only left with them. Judge
Acheson decided in favor of the plaintiff.
He SAYS that the banks, having taken
the stock, TO matter what the consid-
GRAFTON, nor whether they got the bene-
fit OF the stock, nor whether they were
ever published as stockholders, they
stand in the same position as to the
liabilities of the bank as any of the
other stockholders, and must therefore
pay the assessments.
