The Dynamiters on Trial.

LONDON, May l3-When the court in
which the alleged dynamitsrs, Cunningham
and Burton, are being trisl opened Tuesday
morning every seat was occupied, while
many stood in the aisles and other passages
in the room. The interest in the case seems
to have in nowise diminished. The buzz of
voices in the courtroom was stilled by
vigorous rapping with the gavel by Judge
Hawkins, the presiding justice, and the pro-
ceedings ordered to 60 on. One of the
counsel for the prisoners complained to the
court of the conduct of the governor of
Newgate in refusing to allow either himself
or his colleague to have a private interview
with their clients He stated they were
much hampered in their efforts to defen1 the
prisoners by not being allowed to have
private conference with them. The prosecu-
ton suggested that the defendants counsel
be allowed a private interview, and the
Judge stated that he would see that one was
arranged The taking Of evidence was then
resumed.
At the conclusion of the te 5timony con-
corning the explosion at Charing Cross, Ed
ward Weeks, the witness from New York,
took the stand and swore to Burton's pres
ence in America at that time when that pris-
oner asserted he was in England. Other wit
nesses for the crown followed and to titled to
the events of May 10, 1884 The attorney
general said he did not intend to connect the
prisoners directly with the plot de-
veloped at that time but simply
| wished TO prove the existence of
reasonable plots, and the probable affilia-
tion of the prisoners with their perpetra-
tors. Witnesses were then placed on the
stand by the crown, who detailed the move
ments of the prisoners from December until
| the moment Of their arrest The evidence
OF these witnesses conclusively proved Cum
ningham's connection with the explosion
| which occurred at Cover street, but the al
tempt by the prosecution to implicate Bur
ton In that affair failed. At this point tn
testimony was adjourned for the day.

Household Hints.

/. Straw berry Cream. Take pint OF
fresh hulled Strawberries, cover them
thickly with pulverized sugar, and
mash them with a wooden spoon.
Extract the juice from the pulp by
running them through hair sieve.
Now dissolve an ounce and half of
gelatine in a pint Of fresh milk, add
ing to it pint of rich whipped cream
and the juice Of the berries. Pour the
whole into damp mold and place on
the ice till set. when the cream is
ready to serve. (Another way.) Take
one quart of fresh, ripe strawberries
rub them through hair sieve, and
mix with the pulp three pints Of rich
cream and half a pound of pulverized
sugar. Then whip the mixture to a
froth, removing the latter from the
top of the cream with a perforated
skinner and placing it on hair sieve
to drain. Now dissolve half an ounce
of gelatine, stir it well into the cream
ana serve In glasses, crowning the top
of them with whipped froth.
{ ERhubarb Jam.-Take the desired
quantity OF 1hubarb, wipe it thorough
~ dry and cut the stalks into small
pieces. For every pound and a guar
ter Of the rhubarb allow one pound Of
sugar, the rind of half a lemon cut
very thin and minced. Put all into a
stewpan and simmer gently until the
sugar is thoroughly dissolved, stirring
constantly to prevent burning. After
the sugar is dissolved remove the pan
to a hotter part of the fire and boil for
one hour. The jam may then be put
into jars, covered tightly to exclude
the air, and stored away into cool,
dry place. AS rhubarb jam does not
keep SO well as that made from fruit.
it should be utilized quickly.

Fresh Fashion Notes.

Tinsel will be very prominent in

ment Ia dress and dressy accessor-

Satines are less glossy this year, and
consequently look better when they
are washed; the designs, also, are in
many instances smaller and more
suitable.
Americas ladies are so fond of
black dresses for street wear that the
most untiring efforts have been made
to secure fast black dyed hose. Success
has at last crowned this research, and
those goods known as the anchor
dyed" may be purchased and worn
with perfect assurance of immunity
from such vexatious discelerations.

ing. The place was frightfully hot,
and row of steampipes ran under
the stage. When S. jumped
into the grave to do his digging act he
was almost knocked over by the heat
that played around his legs. The hot
air came through the trap in a regular
gust. He shoveled out the skull and
got away from there in hurry Then
the funeral procession came in, bring
ing Ophelia on tray, and when they
put the bier over the trap and began
to lower it the hot air blew up the
corners of the pail and showed that
there was no Ophelia there. However,
they went on with the show. and the
queen came up as solemn as you
please, shed one or two weeps, and be-
gan to drop flowers into the grave. 1t
happened that the flowers were made
Of tissue paper, and just as the queen
said Sweets to the sweet" the not
blast caught the whole lot of paper
leaves and roses, and they went sail
ing all over the theater Some of
them danced around two Or three feet
over oar heads, some foated out in
front and were caught IN the chan
deliers, and some came down among
the audience. There was the biggest
kind Of a laugh, and we had to ring
down the curtain. Yes, there's lots
of fun IN the show business"

How Artificial Flowers Are Made.

The method is simply this: A hun
dred layers Of prepared and tinted silk
are laid one over the other, and cut
by a stamp into the desired shape.
These are then retinted, shaded and
put into the required shape by the
girls. No, there is no difference of
taste exhibited by different parts OF
the country. The best people in every
section want the best goods, though
the South is rather light buyer, and
perfers the cheapest varieties. With
artificial flowers, ostrich feathers and
plumes are naturally connected. These
are imported in the the raw state and
colored and finished here. There are
several large dealers.

A Treasury Joke.

The ''s5, 900, 900 package, " which so
many visitors 10 the treasury vaults
in Washington have reverently held
for moment, was opened, the other
day, and was found to be huge joke.
It simply contained three or four
heavy old government documents,
such as would sell in a junk-shop for
two cents per pound! The package
weighed fifteen pounds, and as old
paper its value would be thirty cents.
The package was carefully tied up
again, and it will continue to be used
to make brides and other visitors hap
py by giving them a chance hereafter
to tell how they once held $4,000, 600
in their hands. It will suit them just
as well as if it contained real money.
