An outrageous act of vandalism is re-
ported from Warwick. The castle
there on the banks of the Avon
is one of the sights of the king
dom alike from its historical
associations, the beauty of the
seenery, and the rare collection of an
tissle and valuable euriosities which
are contained within its walls. 1t is
open to the public under certain reason
able restrictions, and the privilege thus
accorded is largely taken advantage of
by-Nisitors from al parts of the.ciV-
ilized world, who gratefully embrace
the opportunity of seeing the beauties
of the neighborhood and the treasures
in the buildings and grounds. One of
the principle sights of the castle after

which is valued at some thousands of
pounds. This interesting and magnifi-

modern Goths. During the absence of

the discovery a party of Americans
had obtained access TO the interior of
the castle and the outrage is attributed
to them. Need we wonder, when acts
of this kind are possible, that the gates

Suspicious Wolves.

1t is fortunate for the traveller that
the wolf is one of the most suspicious
animals, in. existence, in connection with
any object withiwhich. itA eyes, nose, or
ears are unaccustomed. A stick plant
ed in the earth with some futtering
piece of linen tied to it is often sufficient
to preserve the carcass of slain buff
falo. or deer for the hunter. When a
Siberian finds his sleigh pursued by
wolves ,hessyery Frequently fastens a
coat or some spare garment to a piece
of string, and lows it behind. So sus-
picious are the wolves of this novel
object that this is often sufficient to
keep them from advancing ahead.
When trapped the sensation of confne-
naent seems to deprive this rareneus
animal of its native vigor and energy,
and it has. been known passiyely to
allow itself to be dragged from the trap
to meet its fate. Chambers Journal.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE,

1t will be apparent to any one, who will
examine SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, large proportion of the
precious metal used is needed only to stiffen
and hold the engraved portions in place and
supply the necessary solidity and strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless so far
as utility and beauty are concerned. In
JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH
CASES, this waste of precious metal il over

produced at from one third to one-half Of the
usual cost of solid cases. This process 10 Of
the most simple nature, as follows: a plate
of nickle composition metal, especially
adapted to the purpose, has two plates u
SOLID GOLD soldered one on each side. The
three are then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result is a strip Of heavy
plated composition, from which the cases,
backs, centres, bezels, &C., are cut and
shaped by suitable dies and formers. The
gold in these cases is sufficiently thick to ad-
nit Of all kinds of chasing, engraving and
enamelling; the engraved cases have been
carried until worn perfectly smooth by time
and use without removing the gold.

Old potatoes should never be pared be-
fore cooking. The most nutritious por-
ton of the potato lies Immediately under
the skin, and this is generally all pared
away, through ignorance, leaving the
watery part. A small slice should first
be cut from each end as this lets the wa
ter out, and the potatoes then put into
cold water and allowed to heat slowly
They should boil as slowly as possible
until done. Then throw off the water,
lift the lid for few moments and serve
New potatoes should be laid in cold water
for an hour before cooking. Then scrape
off the skin and steam them. They should
never be boiled. Ifyou have a quantity
to cook, quick way to peel them is to
throw them into a bucket with good
handful of pebbles. Shake vigorously
for a few moments, and the skins will all
come off. The best way to cook sweet
potatoes is to chip piece off of each end,
and roast in the oven. They should never
be boiled, but may be steamed.

Stored Electricity,
| AN EXPERIMENT THAT SEEMED To PLEASE A
| NUMBER OF ELECTRICIANS.

The first public experiment in this city
with the Brush storage system Of lighting by
electricity was made last evening in the
rooms of the Brush-Swan Electric Light
Company, at $50 Broadway Many dis
tinguished electricians were present
battery OF twenty. four cells was charged with
power from the ordinary street circuits of the
Brush Company. Twenty seven Swan lamps
were kept burning for FIVE hours by the
electricity thus accumulated. The storage
battery consists of box containing cells, in
each of which are lead plates. The plates
are electrically treated, and emersed in
acidnlated water. The battery exhibited
was provided with an automatic switch at
taehed to which was meter The switch
automatically regulated the charge of the
storage battery, and the meter registered the
amount of current used. The lights used
were equal TO one of the big lights on the
circuit that supplies the lamps between
Elizabeth street and the Grand Central
Depot Mr.. c. +. Brush explained the
operation of the system TO the visitors.
1t is declared that the storage system
possesses great advantages over the avstem
of lighting directly by power generated from
dynamo machines. With the storage system
every consumer of light has his reservoir of
electricity on his own premises. A stopI ng
of machinery at the central station would not
put out his lights furnished by the storage
battery are absolutely steady, while those
supplied directly from the dynamo machine
are not. At the exhibition dynamo machine
of about one-horse power was run by power
from storage battery. The 81 lights, in
little glass globes, burned brightly and
steadily. Mr.. Edward Einstein, the Presi-
dent of the Brush Company, said it was now
prepared to supply Swan lamps for factory,
store or domestic use. All who were present
seemed to be pleased with the result of the
exhibition.-N. Y. Sun.
