WHAT WILL BURST GUN.-SOme
strangely twisted pieces of gun barrels in a
window on Chestnut street exhibit in most
fashion the vagaries of over
tasked gun barrels. These specimens are
parts of some guns burst by Captain Heath
of this city during some prOtracted eXper-
ilnents with various weapons. Five of the
barrels were burst because ball was
"stuck" near the muzzle in each case, two
gave way because about four inches of snow
was put in the muZzle, two were burst by
reason of having some wet sand at the muz-
zle, and three were ruptured by mud at the
muzzle. Sportsmen often scoop up a little
mud or sand unconsciOusly, bang away at
game, and are then astoniShed to find the
gun with ragged and shortened BARREL
PhiiudeLphiu Times.
payn Probably the LATEST man on record is
a prisoner in the Lockport IN. ~ Jail. The
Sheriff wanted him to help shovel off the
snow from the streets, but he absolutely re-
tentative of shoveling or being shot. He
chose the latter. The authorities then pro-
ceeded to ''shoot" him. He was placed in a
corner of the cell with his face toward the
wall. A gun was loaded with a blank car
fridge, and was discharged at him. At the
same time the Sheriff threw book at the
culprit's head, and he dropped to the floor
with all the appearances of being a dead
man, and he probably thought he was. He
soon recovered, but his dislike for shoveling
snow was fully proven.-BaDalo Express.

are bright days like this, when we feel as if
we could take the great world in our arms.

How TO Cook WATER.-I must tell you
a story of how the late Charles Delmonico
used to talk about the new hot-Water cure.
He said the Delmonicos were the first to
recommend it to guests who complained of
having no appetite. '"rake cup of hot
water and lemon and you will feel BETTER"
was the formula adopted, and the cup of
hot water and lemon was simply little
hot water with drop of lemon juice in it
to take away the insipidity. For this anti
bilious remedy the caterers charged the
price of drink of their best liquors-25
cents or more-and it certainly was a wiser
way to spend small change than in alcohol.
"Few people know how to cook water"
Charles used to affirm. "The secret is in
putting good, fresh water into a neat
kettle, already quite warm, and setting
the water to boiling quickly, and then
taking it right off for use in tea, coffee or
other drinks, before it is spoiled. TO let it
steam and simmer and evaporate until the
good water is all in the atmosphere, and
the lime and iron and dregs only left in the
kettle-bah! that is what makes a great
mank people sick, and is worse than no
water at ALL" Every lady who reads this
valuable recipe of a great and careful cook
should never forget how to cook Water.-N

DEVOTION OF DoGs.-The Cincinnati En-
q,.irer says: That the dog is superstitious
there is no doubt. He is afraid of ghosts.
Some naturalists say dogs regard the owl as
a ghost, and nothing territies them more
than their mournfuI "Thoo! phoow A
striking feature in the dogs love and wor-
ship of man is seen in his entire forgetful
ness of self. The dog is ready to give up his
life to save that of his master, or his mas
ter's child. The animal will not only work
but fight and die for man. The love of a dog
for his master has been described as exceed
ing the love of man either for his fellOWman
or toward God. Shortly before he died, Sir
Edwin Landseer, embracing his favorite ter
rier Tiney, exclaimed, 'Nobody can love me
half as much as thou dostW
Some dogs love to attend church, and while
there behave with reverence and devotion
that clearly show they have some sort of
comprehension of the holy influences that
surround the sanctuary. In Scotland, espe-
cially has this been noticed. The shepherds,
both in the Highlands and Lowlands, are
devout, church-going race, and are invaria-
bly, accompanied by their dogs and collies,
which are as reverent and devout as they
are Sometimes the dogs have particular
pews or lairs, or crouching places in the kirk,
and they rest quietly until the end of the
service. Nor does it always happen that
the dogs accompany their masters, and 60
there solely by force of imitation. Instan-
ces sthere are where dogs have gone to church,
escaping from the kennel on Saturday and
attending church when their masters cid
not. Southey relates an instance of Meth
odist dog which went regularly to chapel,
though pelted by the boys for so doing.
His master never went, and the interpreta-
tion put upon the dogs conduct was that he
wished to attract his master to church at
tendance. 1t was at least something singu-
lar that when his master was drowned by
accident the dog ceased to attend chapel.
Tom Hood says that
"a doves not reckoned religious bird
Because it keeps a-cawing from steeple'
And of course simple attendance at church
does not make the dog any more religious
than the people who's imply attend. In 1871,
Salmagundi wrote Oh a favOrite dog which
always went with his mistress to church:
'"Tis held by folks>of deep research
He's good dog who goes to church.
AS good I hold him every whit
Who stays at home and turns the spit;
For though good dogs to church may go,
Yet going there don't make them So

Speaking favorabIy Of the candidates
of the temperance party, the Philadel-
phia Methodist adds:
We only wish that these candidates
were in a position to receive the votes
of all the best men in the country, and
to carry into the White House in
Washington and into the halls of our
national legislature the reformation
so much needed. But under existing
circumstances everybody knows that
there is not the ghost of a chance that
either can be elected. And even ii
they could De, what could they do
with the legislative department of the
government against them? Or, if
both the legislative and executive
were pledged to prohibition. they
would have no jurisdiction except in
the territories. the District of Column
bia, the national ship yards. the post
offices, custom houses, aud such other
buildings as are under the control of
the United States government. But
rs to the several states, they could
still manufacture and sell all the rum
that their people could use. The
truth j., the only hope. of prohibition
is found in the conversion of the peo-
pie TO the support of prohibition, the
capture of the state legislatures, and
the insertion through them of the pro-
hibitory clause in the several conslitu-
tons. Then it will be comparatively
easy TO elect prohibitory congress to
carry out his views and those of the
party as TO prohibition ia the national
domain But till then. in our view, il
is the height of folly for temperance
men to waste their energies and to
infiict injury upon the cause they adj
vocate in the simple exhibition of their
strength that can serve no practical
purpose. and at pre- sent accomplish no

STATE FAIR.

Everything seems, at present, TO
favor . very fine display at our state
fair at Topeka, September Sth-l3th.
The managers have determined. in
view of the immense interest the state
has in stock matters, to make il dis
play of fine stock, which, thus far, has
never had an equal in the west. There
are twice as many applications for
space in the classes of horses, cattle,
sheep and hogs as there were at the
same time last year, and every means
win be adopted for display of the
general public, of the fine animals
which will come from every part of
the country.
In addition 10 this the Santa Fe road
has made the rate for visitors TO the
fair one cent per mile, and other lines
win doubtless do the same. At the
close Of the most prosperous year that
We nave ever had, everybody may,
without any great trouble or expense,
take . needed holiday that will be
both to his pleasure and profit.
We regard the stock show idea as a
good one. Kansas is very rapidly
coming to the front i'm that line, and
b considered rs source of supply for
what are practically the best cattle in
the world. We raise enormous guam
titles Of wheat, but the great source of
wealth is unquestionably stock. There
n every indication that the fair of this
year will be the most successful of all
