The Black Alder for Fuel.

Persons who are engaged in raising
trees for fuel will do well to test the
merits OF the common or black alder
which grows so plentifully in all the
more northern of the eastern states, as
well as in Michigan and some other OF
the western states. 1t is true that the
trees are not large, but they possess
many merits. They will grow on land
too wet to be of much value for other
purposes. They can be planted to ex-
cellent advantage on the shores of lakes
and ponds, on the bank of streams, and
on marshy land that will produce moth
ing but coarse grass and rushes. The
chief demand for wood for fuel in the
west is for feeding cooking stoves and
for starting fires. The wood of the al
der supplies this want admirably. 1t
burns readily and produces a very hot
fire. 1t makes the best charcoal of any
wood that is easily grown. The trunks,
which are rarely very large, can be cut
down with one stroke of the AK, and, by
resting them on log or block, can be
divided into pieces of suitable length
for stove by the use of an Ak. No
splitting will be required. The pieces
will dry quickly and the bark burns
readily. A piece of ground planted to
alders will continue to yield crops of
wood for all time. Sprouts will spring
up from the roots rs soon rs the old
trunks are cut away. In some portions
of New England the alders have been
cut from pieces of ground twenty times
since the country was settled. The
smaller trunks make excellent bean
poles, and the branches or tops can be
employedfor supporting pea-vines. The
common alder is very hard and the seed
is easily obtained.

A Desperate Attempt at Suicide in a
New York Prison.

New YORK, Oct. 20.
Thomas Burke, confined in Essex Market
Prison, made desperate attempt at suicide,
Friday. Keeper Brady hearing screams from
mis- cell, entered it to learn the cause, when
Burke slipped out and ran down stairs to the
third tire of cells, slamming the gate behind
him. Before Brady could secure assistance
to force open the gate. Burke threw himself
head-foremost to the stone floor of cor
ridor. 50 feet below. Brady ran down stairs
expecting to pick up the liteless and mangled
corpse OF his charge. He found Burke fight
ing fiercely with two keepers who had en-
tered the hall just as he made his leap. These
keepers said that the mans life was saved BY
an IRON brace which extends from the bal
cony to the wall on the second tier. The fall
hardly stunned him for almost before the
keepers could reach him he had regained his
feet and was trying to force bis way out of
the main door. With Keeper Brady's help
he was overpowered. lie was remapded to
the hospital where compound fracture of the
spine was discovered. The result of his in
Juries cannot be foretold.

tees.
PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 20

IHaLADELPHIA, oct ~
At tolay's session of the Protestant Epis-
copal convention, after the deputies were
called to order, message from the house of
bishops stating that they concurred in the
message relative to the appointment Of a
joint committee on the duty of the church on
the subject of marriage.
Mr. Bates of Delaware presented the re.
port of the joint committee on church inc0r-
poration and tenure of church property.
The report of the board of trustees in each
diocese and that of the joint commission APP
pointed by the general convention was re-
tanned and was made the special order for
Monday.
The report of the joint committee on rhe
PRAYER book was taken up. Rev. DIR. Hunt
ington of Mass. offered a resolution which
was adopted.
The house of deputies then considered the
report of the committee on amendments.
An amendment to article two, proposing a
reduction in the number of deputies from
each diocese, which the committee had re-
ported as inexpedient, was first considered
and finally rejected and the committee dis
charged from the consideration of the sub.
ject.
After discussion the report of the com
mittee was not agree to.
The convention, after the appointment OF
same committees, adjourned till Monday.
