How a FOrser. Was Detected.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

The forger, known as "Steve" Ray

York court recently to imprisonment
for life, under the new penal code, for a
second conviction of forgery through an
attempt to sell stolen securities OF the
Northampton bank, of Massachusetts.

authorities OF the Eastern penltentlary
while an inmate of the institution in
1879. He had been implicated IN the
forgery of Buffalo and Erie forged rail-
Elmira Jail, had been sent abroad by:
some of his confederates after they had
robbed him of $40, 600 in bonds. which
he had concealed in his hat.
William Pinkerton, of the detective
agency, had pursued him all over Eu-
rope, Canada, and the United States.
RAYMOND came to Philadelphia, and un-
der the name OF Frank Stewart had been
sent to the penitentiary on swind1ing
scheme through the mails. His identi'
ty was unknown, but through CORE
spondence with woman in Brooklyn,
warning her not to visit him.. he was
suspected az prisoner of some account.
William Pinkerton came to Philadelphia,
and described the fugitive forger as hav-
ing blue eyes, one OF which was glass.
Warden Cassidy declared himself
satisfied that he had no glass-eyed pris-
oners. Inspector Charles! Thomson
Jones examined the record of recent

equarely in his,eyes. The convict quailed.
His visitor remarked, "Well, that's the
best glass eye ever saw; I have seen
them but never saw blue one before"
The prisoner remarke "Who has Civ.

When the inspector said that he was

!, A Suggestion for Oleanl mess.

There is suggestion which will 60
far toward the solution of the .vexing
problem of how to dispose of household
waste, says the Sanitary News. The
practice of throwing it on gardens, al
leys, and streetsl to decompose and be-
come q fostering blotcn on the face of
the earth cannot be safely INDUCED in.
The other alternative of collecting it
periodically by garbage-wagons is not
the cleanest, neatest system of disposal.
Undoubtedly the healthiest way to dis
pose Of it is by fire. 1t is not possible by
ordinances of law to compel people to
burn kitchen refuse. But if landlords
will incorporate provision in their
leases, that the tenants must dispose of
all kitchen waste by FIRE, it will greatly
simplify the question. OF course there
will be many, even with u lease reouir-
ing it, who will not do it, but sufficient
number will to make fashionable; once
fashionable, the custom will spread OF
its own momentum. There are refuse
cans so made as to fit over stove hole,
which permit no odor to escape during
the process Of drying. When dried, the
refuee can, by turning handle, be
dumped into the fire and is Immediately

Cheap and Efficient Filter.

Very many families desire some mex
pensi1e device for filtering rain and
other waters TO be used for cooking and
table use. A cheap and very efficient
filter may be made by using spirit or
wine cask, placing it on end with the
head removed, and having q faucet at
the bottom to draw off the clear water.
To 'titit for filter, take the removed
top head of the cask, and with a small
bit bore holes all over it, then place four
clean bricks or blocks of wood on the
bottom, and on these rest the perfora-
ted top. Now fill upon it about four inch
es of charcoal chopped into small bits
the size of peas, and over this put lay
er of sand six inches deep. Impure
water poured into the casl on top OF the
sand will become clear and sparkling
after little while, or as soon as all fine
PARTICLES are worked out of the charcoal
and sand. This filter will not need re-
newing oftener than once in two or
three months.-Popular Scien ce

A Year of Meat.

From the Boston Advertiser.
To-day begins the new provision year
just as the cotton year beg ms on Sep
TENDER l. and the agricultural year on
July 1. In looking back over the pro.
vision year just ended two facts stand
out with remarkable prominence. In
the first place the past year has been
extremely irregular in prices and in
the second place, during the year just
ended provisions have saved cur bal
ance Of trade rather more than anv
thing else. "A year ago it was petroleum
which always came 10 the rescue When
we were on the point Of shipping gold.
The idea that our pro 'isiOn exports
have been remarkably brisk, on account
of the prices, is not absolutely correct;
for wheat is very cheap, probably too
cheap, and yet Europe is not disposed
to take now alta low price what finally
will go, as there is reason to believe, at
that provisions are very cheap, and that
we have exported very large quantities.
The fuctuation of prices during the
past year has been extreme, and to
large part of the trade it has been disas-
trous. Thus barrel Of pork cost in the
principal market of the country as much
as $5l so year ago, while the price to.
day is down to $1,000. Ribs cost year
ago in Chicago $ll,75, and are now down
t. 1915 or less. Lard rose to ST. 10 in
May, and has late been sold :or $6 20.
The cheapest month for provision buy-
ers was September; but it is not certain
that the trade has made the mos. Of it,
chance, for it is trait of nearly all
trades that men wish to buy when
prices rise sharply, and that marked
d, cline frjghtens buyers away. They
think that low prices will be lower, and
that high prices will be higher still.
The fluctuations in the provis on prices
during the year now past are due almost
entirsly to mauipulations rather than to
irregular demands. The great Chicago
packers and their rich hackers delight
in: making a. corner or q deal, ana IN
smashing prices by vast. mountains OF
provisions aud by huge piles Of money
| Tile laity condemns these manipulatlons
butsforgets that strange as it may sound,
the reckless speculation Of the western
packers has given US provisions so cheap
that the poor man in particular might
thank the greasy bosses of Chicago and
he other places whore pigs do mostly
congregate.
Nor are supplies likely to run short
|. America contains about 825 swine to
every thousand inhabitants, while .Eu
rope contains ISL and is moro partial
than we are. America has about $50
head of cattle to every thousand people
while Europe contains 80 and is losing
both absolutely and relatively. Even IN
sheep We exceed the European standard,
as we have ABOUT &C to every thousand
inhabitants, against 6S2 in Europe. Our
ton therefore is hghy fa aIt%onsS
| tne Quail ty Of our supplies has been
questioned by several European. gov
ernments, which it is the duty of our
| representatives to teach better.

y. salt for Dyspepsia.

4 Half teaspoonful Of common. table,
salt dissolved in little cold water and
drank will INSTANTLY relieve heartburn
or dyspepsia. If taken every morning
before breakfast, increasing the quanti-
ty gradually to teaspoonful to q glass of
water, it will in few days cure any or
binary case of dyspepsia; if at the same
time due attention is paid to the diet.
There is no better remedy than the
above for constipation; no better gargle'

of potash, and is entirely safe.. it NAV be-
used as often as ','esired, and if little is
swallowed each time it will have a bene-
fetal effect on the throat by cleansing it
and allaying the irritation. In doses of
one to four teaspoonIuls in halfa pint to
d pint OF tepid water it acts promptly as
an emetic, and in cases of poisoning is
always at hand. 1t is an excellent rem

a valuable astringent for hemorrhages,
particularly for bleeding after the ex-

How 10 Grease !: WAGON Wheel

How TO Grease wagon Wheel.
The Coach Makers Magazine endor-
ses the statement that few people are
aware that they do wagons and car
ringes more injury by greasing too pIen-
tiful!y than in any other way. A well
made wheel will endure constant wear
from ten to twenty-five years, if care is
taken to use the right kind and proper
amount Of grease; but If this matter is
not attended to, it will be used up in
five or six years. Lard should never
be used on q wagon for it will penetrate
the hub, and work its way out around
the lemons of the spokes, thus spelling
the wheel. Tallow is the best lubricator
for wooden axletrees, and castor oil for
iron hubs, but many of the patent axle
greases are also excellent, and have the
merit IF being cheaper and m IRE con-
venient. to handle. Just grease enough
should be applied t. the spindle OF y
wagon to give il a slight coating. Tn
is oetter than more, for the surplus put
on will work out at The ends, and be
forced by the shoulder bands and nut
washer into the hub around the outside
of the boxes. To oil an iron axletree,
first wipe the spindle clean, wet with
spirits of turpentine, and then apply a
few drops OF castor oil near the shoulder
and end. One teaspoonfuI is sufficient
for the whole.
