EcOnOmal Soap.


The properties of soap and of sill
cate of soda possess great analogy.
The combinations of weak acids pos
sess slightly alkaline reaction, their
solutions being capable of forming an
emulsion with fatty substances. These
properties in common have led to the
manufacture of cheap soaps, contain
ing a large proportion of silicate of
soda or soluble glass. Two processes
may be employed: % the addition of
a concentrated solution of silicate of
soda to fatty or resinous soap, and
(2) the specialization of fatty
or resinous substances by aka
loids in the presence of silicate
of soda. By either method a soap
is obtained suitable for all the uses to
which ordinary soap has hitherto
been applied, and at a much lower
price, as silicate of soda is extremely
cheap.

THE ST. LOUIS SCANDAL.
Mrs. Tevis' Extraordinary Conduct
After the Shooting.

A special despatch from st. Louis
says: AT five o'clock on Tuesday
evening the door of a somewhat isola-
ted two-story brick building, at 14l6
Singleton street, opened and a man
walked down the vestibule to the side.
walk. He then stopped, and, turning,
waited until woman had come down
the steps and Joined him. The man
was seemingly in the prime of life,
and was tall and well dressed and had
a very heavy reddish-brown NOUS
tache. The woman was of beautiful
figure and medium height, but blue
veil pinned tightly over her face and
turret ban hat prevented any one
from seeing her features. Those who
saw her during the next few exciting
moments say that she wore sealskin
sacque and black silk or satin dress.
On reaching the sidewalk the couple
proved to be Frank Il. Iglehart
and Mrs. Kate Tevis. Mrs. Tevis
is the grand-niece of Gen. Sher-
man and also of the late Judge Reber;
the daughter of Col. Reese, U. s. A,
whose home is here, but whose station
is at Fort Smith, and the sister-in-law
of eX-Police Commissioner Moffett,
and Mr.. 1glehart (who is single be-
cause of very curious romance in his
hfe) is nephew of the late Thomas j.
Bartholow.
The couple walked briskly toward
Fourteenth street, which is less than
block distant from the house. They
had almost reached the entrance of an
alley which opens to the southwark
about twenty yards from the house,
when two men suddenly stepped out
of the alley, where they had been hid
den by the high fence enclosing the
house yard. Not word was spoken,
but the smaller of the two men, who
proved to be MIR. Tevis, raised a re-
volver in his right hand, took deliber-
ate aim at the woman's companion
and fired. Iglehart staggered back
ward several steps, and then, doubling
over partially toward his right side.
fell on the sidewalk, and stretched out
upon his back. His assailant imme-
diately stepped forward to the pros
trate man, and was pointing the re-
volver at him, with the evident inten-
ton OF firing finishing shot, but the
private detective who had been lying
IN wait with him ran forward, seized
him by the arm, wrenched the pistol
out OF his hand and pulled him away.
Meanwhile the woman behaved in a
most remarkable manner. Paying no
attention to the others, she stopped
down and assisted her wounded COM
panion to his feet. Then she got be-
hind him and pushed him vigorously
along the sidewalk toward the west. !
He bent over her, held his hand up to
his side and started on quick walk. |

woman, soon increased to run. See

The Alligator Industry.

The business of killing and catching
allIgatOrS gives occupation, it Is
stated in a st. Louis paper, to many
persons in the south OF the United
States. The hide of large alligator
is worth from one to two dollars. 1t
is almost days task to skin large
one. Alligator oil (Which has at first
a most unpleasant smelly is much
valued as remedy for rheumatism.
Fishermen sometimes eat portions OF
the animals body; the flesh of the
tail when cooked is said to
be like veal in look and like pork in
taste. Colonel Williams some time
ago made a contract with fisherman
to stock hole at Spanish Fort, known
as the alligator pond, for him, and in
fortnight he had it stocked with
thirty alligators, ranging from six
inches to seven or eight feet. The
mode of capture, in which the men
showed no fear, was as follows: Some
of the young are caught out
from where the old one is
lying, and a strong moose is placed
SO that she must thrust her
head in it in emerging. When all is
ready, the young are allowed to cry
out, the old one appears and Is caught
in the moose the is then dragged
round in the water till nearly chOked,
when another moose is secured to her
tail and she is firmly strapped, stomach
downward, on wide board. Her
head is then fastened to the boat, the
moose round her neck is removed, and
she is towed away after her
young have been placed in
the skiff. Young ones are bought
by dealers at from two to four
dollars dozen, if not over foot in
length. They fetch much higher
price when retailed, as they are hard
to keep alive. There is an increase
in the selling price of fifty cents to 81
for every additional foot over GER
tain length. Alligators sixteen or
eighteen inches long are often found
by dozens in shallow water, and they
may be handled without trouble, pro-
vided the old one does not take alarm.

Electric Clocks.

As much attention is being attract
ed to the newly perfected system of
Ii. /. WenZel for uniform time keep
ing, the following extract from the
proceedings of the city council of San
Francisco, copied from the California
Democrat of October "a, will be Of in
tereSt to our readers:
Mr.. II. NJ. Molineux, from the COM
mittee of the whole, reported the
electric clocks in the new city hall as
entirely worthless, and that they had
never kept correct time, although the
Electric comp any had obligated itself
by contract to keep the sixty-three
clocks in the city hall, for which
the city paid $3460, in good
order for the term of five
years. Mr.. Molineux reported that
the pneumatic clocks, of II. 1. Wenzel,
which were introduced in 1878, had
stood the test well; that the Electric
Clock company now offers to intro
duce better clocks for an additional
$500, and to guarantee the same for
one year.
The committee therefore recommend
that a contract be made with Mr.. H. l.
WenZel to furnish pneumatic clocks
for the new city hall for the sum of
$1,000, provided Mr.. WenZel guarantees
the clocks for two years. So ordered.

clearly to us, it is found by expert
ment that posts will last longer if the
top be set in the ground. Some give
as a reason for this that the moisture
from the earth is more readily drawn
up in post set in the natural way,
than if reversed. Admitting this
to be true, and that the
water thus drawn up causes the post
to decay, why will not the descending
rain enter the large end of the post,
when reversed, and keep the post
even more moist then when set to the
other end up? is question that has
often occurred to us. Whatever the
cause, there seems to be good evidence
that post set top down will last
longer than one set the butt end down.

Our Reporters vacation Notes.

During his rambles this season, our Mr.. NJ
has taken upon himself the task Of satisfying
our numerous readers that whatever goods
are manufactured in our goodly city Of Roger
Williams, are Of as high grade, and as fine
in quality as can be produced in any spot on
the globe. Especially is this so when the
skilled Pharmacist Of many years experience
resolves to extract from the finest botanical
specimens Of the vegetable world the most po-
tent cure for some special disease. In proof
of his assertion that Providence affords the
best, he relates an interview with an aequaint-
ance, given him while sojourning temporarily
at her residence. She says, about year
suffered severely from rheumatism in my
limbs, and neuralgia In the head, which en-
dured two or three months, with as much pa
thence as possible, being under the treatment
of an excellent doctor, and trying many kinds
of medicine without any marked benefit. At
last medical friend advised me to try Hunts
Remedy, because he attributed my severe suf
fering 10 the bad condition OF my kidneys,
which were not performing their proper func-
tons, and commenced taking it, and in a few
days the neuralgia had departed, my head
ache had entirely disappeared, the swelling in
my limbs and joints had gone, and / have not
had a touch Of it since. More recently was
troubled with impurity Of the blood, which
showed itself in severe eruprions on my face.
1 again resorted to Hunts Remedy, and after
taking it a short time was completely cured OF
that Complaint. Hunts remedy has proved
very beneficial to me in attacks OF sick head
ache, which it always alleviates, and notice
the improvement as soon as take the Rene
DIV. This remedy has strengthening elements,
for II has made me feel much stronger, and
has been very benehcicial to my general
health. / most heartily recommend 1t to all

Cut Hay for Hogs

Few farmers are aware of the fact
that hay is very beneficial to hogs,
but it is true, nevertheless. Swine
need rough food as well as horses,
cattle or the human race. To pre-.
pare it you should have cutting.
box or hay cutter and the greener
the better. Cut the hay as short as
oats, or shorter, and mix with bran
shorts or middlings, and feed as other
food. Hogs soon learn to like it, and
if soaked in swill and other slop food
is highly relished by them. In win.
ter, use for the hogs the same hay
you feed your horses and you will
find that, while it saves bran, or 9th.
er food, it puts on flesh as rapidly as
anything that can be given Them
In summer the use of hay can be
commenced as early as the hay will
DO TO cut, and when run through the
cutting'box can be used to advantage
by simply soaking in fresh water un.
til it sours.
