FROM THE FIRST WARD.
Pretty Mexican Girl Waylaid by
an Amopous Youth

Yesterday morning pretty Mexican
girl named Carolina Herrera, who works
hard tor her living, complained to Officer
Martinez that white boy, about is
years of age, named Ben Pulliam, had
the evening before at about 8 O'Clock
stopped and waylald her on the street on
her way home from her work, and in
suited her and drew pistol on her In
threatening manner, In order to compel
her to go with him. Pulliam was ar
rested and the case was tried In the Re-
corder's court this morning. The young
girl testified that she had to pass by
Clark's stock pens, near the lnterna-
tional depot, and that Pulliam had fol-
lowed her that evening, and when he at
last came up to her, he barred her
further passage along the street. She
tried to call for help and he told
her If she called for help he
would kill her with n pistol.
On the approach Of two Mexican women
she said he took to his heels. The Re-
corder dismissed the charge as there was
"a bare suspicion that Pullian was not
the right party who committed the Of
fence.
The young lady is very much grieved
At this molestation, as she says 1t has
occurred more than once, and declares
that hereafter she will 90 prepared to de-
fend herself and will hurt somebody yet

An Art Treasure Recovered.

Carp tells the following in the
Cleveland Leader:: "Just as you go into
the office of the assistant secretary of
the treasury you may see on the right
wall a fine portrait of George Washing
ton in a gilt frame. 1t is a bust picture
in oils, and is wonderfully lifelike and
rich in its colors. 1t looks something
like a Stuart, but it has a softer and not
so ford a coloring. This picture was
resurrected within the past few weeks by
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Coon from the dust room in the base
ment, where it had been laying for gene
r%ations. The carpenter of the treasury
called Mr.. Coon's attention to it, and
said he intended to clean it and reframe
it and hang it up in his shop. Mr.. Coon
thought it might be worth hanging
somewhere else, and had it properly
cleaned. When the dust and dirt was
removed this beautiful Washington ap-
pcarcd. No one knows now who paint
ed it. but it is undoubtedly one of the
finest pictures among the many art works
of the capital"

Household Hints.

Never put icc-cold milk into boiling
articles.
Articles likely to spoil should not be
kept in or laid upon wood.
Cream sweetened with powdered sugar
will keep for a couple Of days.
The juice of tomato is said to be ex-
cellent to remove ink, wine and fruit
stains.
To clean furniture; One pint linseed
oil, one pint vinegar, half pint of wine
or alcohol.
To preserve flowers in water, mix a lit
tie saltpetre or carbonate of sod with
water, and it will preserve the flowers
for two weeks.
Remove the mildew from linen by
wetting the spot, rubbing on chalk, and
exposing it to the air. Diluted hartshorn
will take out mildew from wooden stu1Is.
Fly poison: Boil one-quarter ounce
small chips Of quassia in one pint of
water, add four ounces molasses. Flies
drink this with avidity, and are soon
destroyed.
A good cement for ~mending broken
crockery ware may be made by mixing
together equal quantities of melted glue,
white of egg and white lead, and boil
ing them together.
After the dust has been thoroughly
beaten out of carpets, and they are
tackled down again, they can be bright
ened very much by scattering corn meal
mixed with coarse salt over them and
then sweeping it all off. Mix the salt
apl mno1 in o6Da1 nrOnOrtiona
In the rage for new-process flour it
should be remembered that the old kind,
containing a larger proportion of starch,
is best for pastry and many other pur-
poses. For bread the new process is SUI
perior; but it does not make, with or
binary management, as good biscuits or
p~iecrust as that ground in the old
fashioned way.
If flannel dresses of the children are
soiled and at all greasy, add borax to
the water in which they are washed.
Dissolve a large TABLESPOONFUL of borax
in a pint of boiling water; put about q
third of it in the first suds in which the
garment is to be washed, another third
in the next water, and the rest of it in
the rinsing water; shake the garments
thoroughly before hanging them up to
dry.
A decided improvement OIL the old
fashioned bibs for children is made of q
towel. Take a towel long enough to cut
two bibs; cut it in half and hollow out
for the neck at the top. If you take an
all-white towel you can work a fancy
border in colored worsteds, but be care
full not to get the towel too wide, or the
bib will always be over the hands. Bind
the neck with white tape and a t-stitch
with color.

The Sexes in q Russian Province.

In the Russian province of Courland
etiquette is excessively rigorous. Stiff
bows form the nearest approach to cor
diality here permitted between the young
unmarried people of the opposite sex.
Very few opportunities are afforded
them of being better acquainted. Even
at dancing parties the gentleman is sup
posed to quit his partner Immediately on
the conclusion of the polka or waltz.
Girls are kept under constant supervision
from the moment of birth to that of be-
trothal. Unmarried ladies are not sup
posed to occupy the seat of honor on the
sofa. Betrothal entirely changes all this
formality into a really Objectionable ex-
hIbition of sentiment. Billing and COO
ing, caresses and endearments are in
dulged in in public without the least re-
gard to delicacy or good taste .-Nsw

A Chinese COnYeXance.

Mrs. Williamson, a ~missionary's wife,
describing a tour that she made through
Northern China, says of the conveyance
"a kind of sedan chair carried by mules
in which she was transported from
place to place: These shendzles are of
the simplest construction, and are very
light. Three small wooden pack saddles
are laid IN the ground about three feet
apart. These are fastened to two poles
about eighteen feet long. After the
poles are securely fastened to the up
turned saddles, three narrow but strong
strips of bamboo are arched over the
poles. Reed mating is spread upon the
bamboos and sewed firmly to them with
Irvine. Betwlxt the poles, about two
feet from the other end, there is
stretched q broad band of cowhide. The
shendzle mules have wooden pack sad
dies, and in the center of each saddle is
fixed an iron spike, standing upright.
The cowhide band has a hole in it, and
the spike runs through it. Careful
driving is required or the whole fabric
topples over.

Bee MeteOrOlOgy.

Numerous observations have shown
Emmcrig, a German scientist, that bees,
otherwise gentle and harmless, become
exceedingly irritable and excitable on
the approach of thunderstorms; and he
thinks that their conduct may be taken
as reliably indicating whether a storm is
impending over a certain district or not.
In a succession of instances, the barome-
ter and hygrometer foretold a storm, the
bees remaining quiet, and no storm &C.
CURED; or the instruments gave nc init
nation of q storm, but the bees for hours
before were irritable, and the storm
came. With regard to rain merely, the
barometer and hygrometer are safer
guides than bees; but in the case of a
thunderstorm the indications of the bees
appear to be more trustworthy.

Farmers who have sown gypsum on
strawberry plants to promote their vigor
have met some disappointing results.
The gypsum produced so large a growth
of clover that it became almost impos-
sible to keep the rows clean, and in
some instances the bed had to be aban-
doned.
Gardens have generally an excess of
coarse barnyard manure and a defcien-
cy of potash and phosphates. Many
garden plants, especially turnips and
cabbage, will be greatly helped in such
gardens by substituting an application
of phosphate for the usual dressing of
stable n
Some objection has been made because
On MANFRED land nitrogen has been
found in the water flowing from under
drains. In practice no loss is realized
from this waste. It is probable that
more than the extra amount of nitrogen
thus carried away is developed in the
soil by the warmth and air which the re-
moval of stagnant water allows to enter.
The drained land only loses more because
ways more stealing in a rich city than
from a poor community.
Mr.. j. B. Lawes, whose opinion every
body respects, says he does not think
the quality of a cows milk is affected by
the amount of water she drinks. In
other words, you cannot dilute her milk
by making or letting her drink water.
He, however, is of the opinion that thin
and sloppy feeds may have the effect of
reducing the quality of the milk. DIR.
Voelcker is of the same opinion in regard
to the water supply, and he agrees with
Mr.. Lawes in regard to the effect of
poor, sloppy feed on the quality of the
milk.
The easiest way to pillow a lot is to go
around it until it is done, turning a fur
row to the fence on all sides and leaving
a dead furrow through the middle. So
much land has been plowed in this way
that long-cultivated fields are apt to
have ridges on the outside and depres-
sions in the middle. Flowing a back
furrow a few feet or rods from the
fence only partially remedies the evil.
In stubble land the field had better be
laid off into lands of any desired width.
But on sod ground this makes too many
dead burrows, especially for corn.
