The Cars Uniform.

"When Prince William, of Prussia,
visited the Russian Emperor on the
occasion of the recent imperial hunt
at Brest-Litovsk, says the Pail Mall
Gazette, "the Gar found himself with
out Prussian uniform, and the conse-
quence was that a messenger had to
travel all the way from ST. Peters
burg by special train to repair the
deficiency. The Gar discovered his
loss the afternoon before Prince Will
Jams arrival. Sending word to his
valet to have a Prussian uniform in
readiness for the morrow, the man ap-
peared to say that by his imperial
masters orders all uniforms had been
left at ST. Petersburg. An aid-de-
camp was sent for. "A Prussian uni
form must be here by 7 O'Clock to-
morrow morning. It was then 4
O'Clock. The aid-de-camp dispatched
two kilograms, one to the master OF
the imperial wardrobe at ST. Peters
burg, and the other to the railway
authorities, and about 6 o'clock q
locomotive set off from the Russian
capital carrying the messenger in
trusted with the required dress.
Fresh locomotives were in readiness
at Dunaberg and Wilma, and the dis
lance of $50 kilometers was traversed
in thirteen hours, at rate of seventy
three kilometers per hour, 80 that the
uniform was in readiness for the Gar
at the time fixed"

The Tall Tower Of Paris.

A dispute has arisen as to the height
of the iron tower which is to be the
feature of the Paris Exposition Of
1889. It was originally proposed to
run it up 1, 500 feet: but it is objected
that it would dwarf every other struct-
ure in Paris. A test Is to be made by
sending up a captive balloon to the
proposed height and suspending there
from four cables, which will represent
the four edges OF the tower. flags being
affixed to mark the positions of the
several stories. All the estimates for
the construction have just been COM
pleted. The cost is to amount to Z.
100000 francs, the state contributing
1, 100000 francs and the contractors
furnishing the remaining 100000
francs, in return for which they are to
have the revenue derived from the
tower for the next twenty years.

Singular Discovery OF Gas.
From the Albany Argus.

t9Ioh Gne Albany Argus.
When the artesian we'll at Amsdell's
brewery was completed there was per-
celved about the water slight indica-
lions Unnatural gas. Nothing, however,
was thought OF the circumstance, as the
element was apparently not present
IN any considerable quantity. About
two weeks ago the fame of a. lamp
CHANGED to be brought in close proxim-
1ty With g. stream of water direct
from the reservoir, when the attendant
was astonished to perceive the sud-
den lgniting of a. considerable quanti-
ty OF gas, which burned clearly and
strongly for a few seconds, and could
be relighted every time the stream was
turned on from the faucet. It was
found that all the water from the we'll
amounting to about eighty barrels Der
hour, Is lmpregnated with pure, odor-
less hydrogen gas, which burns readily
an gives bright blue flame. It is
only necessary to turn on a stream
OF water IN any part of the building
and bring tame IN conjunction with it,
when the volume of gas liberated is
sufficient to kindle instantly into g.
quick envelope of flame. This is all
the more remarkable since the water
is pumped into a lofty reservoir before
being distributed, and the greater Dor
tion Of the gas thus has an opportu-
nifty, and no doubt is permitted to
free itself. That SO much remains in
the supply of water distributed
throughout the structure is cert ainly
evidence OF the presence of gas in very
considerable quantities. Mr.. Ans
dell states that as the presence of gas
had not been noticed until after the
earthquake, he was led to associate
the two facts and thought that per-
haps a pressure had been opened by
the commissions connecting the shaft
OF the well with natural gas reser-
voir. The question of utilizing the
fluid for fuel purposes has not yet been
considered as no tests have been made
to ascertain the exact or appropriated
volume OF the gas, which it Was stat
ed seems to be intermittent. II the
supply is sufficiently large, it could be
used for fuel and illumination, and
would result in a. large saving to the
firm. The discovery of this vein in
connection with the one at mowers
vile although both should prove too
inconsiderable to be of much value is
certainly indubitable proof that under
lying the strata of this section there
are large deposits of valuable natural
gas, which only need to be properly
tapped to revolutionize the ilIuminat-
ing and fuel industries of Albany and
it's ViCinage

derly Exceeded His Authority.

DERBY Exceeded His Authority.
The trouble among the textile work
ers in Philadelphia is not yet ended
Notwithstanding Mr.. Powderly's order
directing the strikers at Troth's mill
to return to work. The Manufacture
ers' Association had threatened gen
eral lockout of employees In all the
mills unless the differences at Troth's
mill were satisfactorily adjusted. This
lockout, which would have affected
$4,000 persons who, the manufacture
ers claim, were supporting the strikers,
was averted by Mr.. Powderly agree
ing with the manufacturers that
all questions except that of wages
should be dropped and that
pending settlement of the
wage question the Troth en-
ployes would be ordered to return
to work. The members of the local
assenb' Y claim that Mr.. Powderly ex-
ceeded his authority and they con-
tend that their demand for the dis
charge of an Objectionable superin-
tendent and other grievances should
be considered as we'll as the question
Of wages. Only two of the ten female
workers ordered back at Troth's re-
turned to work, and this, it is said,
will place the local assemblies in di-
rect antagonism with the general ex-
ecutive board of the Knights. Local
Assembly 1898 will hold a meeting,
and should they decide to continue
the strike the charter of the assembly
will be declared forfeited by the execu-
tive board, in which case, it is said,
that over 5000 Knights of Labor will
leave the order and continue the fight
against the manufacturers themselves.

the fair. There was, in fact, no chance
to make complaint. The judges were
absolutely ignorant as to the exhibitors,
and competent for their work. Their
selfish interests, so far as any could
have existed, were absorbed in the
desire to make their judgments justify
themselves in the eyes of others, as
expert as themselves, who would exam
inc the exhibits. Sufficient time was
allowed for thorough examination;
nobody but the judges were in the
hall or on the grounds, and we believe
that all the expense of the judges was
saved, and more, by the rigid justice
which excluded from share in the
prizes every competitor who failed to
comply with the rules under which
competition was allowed. The prize
winners had the satisfaction of having
the cards of award attached to their
exhibits at the opening of the doors,
and in every way the work was done
in the right way, at the right time, and
with as nearly exact justice as can ever
be obtained. The cost is the only bug
bear that excludes this method from
our American fairs, but it is the best
paying investment of all the expenses
incurred.

Household Hints.
GELATINE is not nutritious.
OYSTER Juice aids digestion.

GELATINE is not nutritious.
OYSTER juice aids digestion.
SOUPS must not stand long in iron.
VINEGAR-sATURATED sugar will cure
hiccough.
BLOW some Cayenne pepper in the
mice holes.
To beat eggs quickly add a little salt
or fine sugar.
IRON can be kept from rusting by
touching up with mutton suet and dust
ing with powdered lime.
CLEAN poultry fat mixed with beef
fat, is almost as good as butter for all
culinary purposes, including pie crust.
IT will probably save you dollar if
the lawn mower blades are covered with
tallow before the machine is put into
winter quarters.
HAVE the best summer clothing
washed and put away without starch
ing, as the starch makes them tender,
and turns them yellow.
IRON articles will seldom rust if they
have been cleansed from oil by hot
soda water, and afterwards dipped in
hot lime water and dried.
STRONG odors on the hands need not
annoy one long, as bit of ground mus
tard mixed with water and rubbed over
them will make them sweet.
Do the Stats of your bed creak? This
is not pleasant and may be prevented
by wrapping the part of each slat where
it rests on the rail with paper.
To clean mirrors. Wash well with a
damp leather or sponge; then dip a
soft cloth in powder-blue and rub the
glass well. Result, beautiful polish.
SOMETIMES doors stick through damp
weather that shut easily when it is dry
Find out where the "stick'' is and rub
it with piece of bar soap dampened.
NEVER throw combings of hair out
of the window. They are apt to catch
on the bushes and look very untidy, or
worse still they may alight on the grape
vine.
A HIGHLY recommended cure for
corns and bunions is, once week to
soak the feet for half an hour in four
quarts of quite warm water in which is
dissolved piece of soda the size of a
large walnut. Three or four times will
relieve, and probably cure, but not per-
manently, if you are not sensible in the
choice of foot-gear.

Food for Little Ones.

Mothers who wish their children to
brighten their homes with sparkling
eyes and rosy cheeks should pay par
ticular attention to their diet. For a
child under six years of age, the best
breakfast is bread and milk, and fruit
either stewed or fresh; this may be
varied by substituting oatmeal, or In
dian meal mush, if well-cooked, for the
bread and milk. For dinner, meat
carefully cooked so as to preserve the
natural juices, but without any made
gravies or sauces, with vegetables and
some light dessert, is all that is re-
CURED, while the supper should consist
of bread and milk, or its equivalent.
All rich pastry, hot bread, fat meat,
tea, coffee and spices should be avoided.
