STORIES of elaborate toilettes have the
Catskills instead of Saratoga as the scene of
parade this summer. A Cuban lady who has
several $500 lace dresses wears two or three
diamond stars in her hair at time, has $780,
600 in diamonds on her fingers and pays,
with her attendants, $500 week board,
seems to be the leading character. A New
York lady who appeared upon one day in
three dresses, representing an expenditure
not far short of 81 600, is another important
parsonage.

eighty-fve years as an active, jealous wo-
man; earnest and devoted in her Christian
life, and strongly interested in the welfare
of the nation and state.
Her residence in Washington gave her an
opportunity to become familiar with the
thoughts and utterances of the representa-
tative men of the times, from which time
being constant reader of the papers. In
church matters she was intelligently in
formed and conscientiously devoted TO the
various interests of the church, being an
active member of the Protestant Episcopal
church for seventy years. She is also spe-
cially remembered by her many friends and
neighbors for active aid in the war, during
which time she was the leading member in
what was known as the Stocking Knit
tiers, " making and sending well-knit warm
wcolen stockings to the soldiers.
She leaves four children: Margaret f.
Miller, Virginia Miller, Mrs. 1. NJ. Newton,
and Laura Miller, all living at home, corner

EXCITEMENT IN SOUTH DAYTON.
A Springfield Man Supposed to be the Ii
noc~ut Offender

A Springfield Man Supposed to be the In
nocent Offender.
Considerable excitement was occasioned
among the residents of South Main street
yesterday by the finding of a lot of dyn-
amite in vacant house near the fair
grounds. The explosive was in the form
of cylindrical sticks, twelve inches long and
an inch in diameter. There were twelve
of these sticks found by some children IN a
cupboard of house formerly occupied by
a Mr.. Wiley, who was employed to do the
blasting on the Park street sewer. Wiley
lately returned to his home at Springfield,
and, il is supposed, left the dynamite where
il was found by the children. Complaint
was made by persons living in the neigh
borhood and the police requested to remove
the dangerous substance. This was done
yesterday by the police delivering the dyn-
amite to quarryman TO be used for blasting
stone. Some idea of the explosive force
of the lot may be had when it is stated that
the explosion of one stick is sufficient to
loosen and separate earth and stone thirty
feet square by five or six feet deep

DRshine Runaway.

Last evening about O'Clock, as the
ckain-gang were coming down Columbia
street returning from the days work, they
saw horse running toward them, going
west up Columbia street, and dragging a
light spring wagon after it. As the horse
approached them Officer johnson ran out
in the street, and, by waving his hat and
arms, succeeded IN stopping the frightened
animal. The trace on one side was broken,
and several of the spokes in one Of the
wheels knocked loose. The officer hitched
il to a post near by, and in short time the
owner was seen tearing down street in
search of his missing animal. He soon
discovered it hitched to the post, and stand
ing quietly as if nothing had happened
The wagon was evidently the property OF
some dairyman. as there were three or four
milk cans inside. The top had come off
one of the cans, and the lacteal fluid left a
white line down the street for about two
blocks while the horse was running. 1t is
very fortunate that most of the milk had
been peddled. as there would have been a
rather infuriated milkman had it been
otherwise.

Protection Against Thieves.

In electricity we have a means of giving
certain and prompt warnings by means OF
the electric bell, of the presence of providers
about ones premises. Anyone can easily
learn the management of small battery,
and the telegraph supply stores are now so
numerous, that an outfit can be conveniently
obtained by correspondence. In case of an
emergence. strong, black sewing thread
may be suspended upon twigs about the
grounds-say surrounding the poultry
house, or the trees where fowls roOst, or
the melon patch. Another piece may be at
tached to the poultry-house door, and the
ends brought to the bed room, where they
may be made to suspend pound weight
apiece The weights will hold the threads
taut, and prowler will either break them,
or at least move the weights considerably.
This must be arranged so as TO set off an
alarm of some kind, easily eontrived like
the alarm of clock, or to oyerset pile of
tin pans from table, or make some other
noise to wakeh even heavy sleeper. Then
if some one raises the window and fires
pistol, or throws out one of the big Chinese
crackers, or opens and shuts door, even
lone woman will drive away pretty determ-
ined thieves, or even burglars American

New Way of Bottling MIX.

American Agriculturist for February.
The bottles or jars are filled full as posi-
BILE and as quickly as possible after milking
They are closed air-tight and either
plunged in ice water, or placed in the ship
ping boxes and covered with broken ice
The result is that this milk, after being
sent to the city and delivered to customers,
will keep perfectly sweet week or even
ten days. We have no doubt, that family
going TO Europe with young children. might
use one or two bottles a day during the
ten days voyage, and notice no difference
between that used on the first and on the
last day. To put up milk in this way to
keep thus long, requires healthy, well-fed
cows, clean stable free from odors, quick
milking, quick handling, air-tight jars and
prompt icing. and besides ii is probably nee
essary that the milk should be kept cool, if
not cold, all the time. 1t would be next to
impossible to get common farm hands or
even common farmers to do this work uui-
formly well, hence the system is hardly ap-
plicable to the general trade, and this per
feet milk" must always command a high
price. Still the fact is known. and it may
be great boon to delicate children and in
valids, for whom the best is never too
costly for people of means. When put up
in this way, the cream of course rises
quickly. In use, it may be dipped off with
a spoon, or the jar being inverted and
shaken up, the cream may be again
thoroughly mixed with the milk before
opening the Jar.

Winter Butter.

The Channel Island cattle refute the the
cries of the fossils who hold that winter
butter is distinguished from summer butter
by its large percentage of margarine. max
ing il crumble, and that favor and color de-
pended upon oleine. They give us butter
of the highest flavor, the highest color. and
the greatest firmness, all at the same time
Pale butter, even in winter, is often as soft
as lard, and fayorless as what we nowadays
so well know as ''oleomargarine.r The
winter butter with which our markets are
now supplied, though it lacks the peculiar
flavor given by grass in spring and early
summber, is nevertheless high favored and
delicious 1t is not perceptibly firmer than
June butter at the same temperature; in the
operations of the dairy it comes as quickly
and is worked as easily, and it exists even
in larger proportion in the milk. The old
writers, and indeed some modern ones, seem
to have considered only the time of the year
and the food of the cows, ignoring alto
gether the length of time since calving, and
the well known changes which take place
in the milk of an in-calf cow. The winter
butter whiah commands the market is made
from the milk of fresh cows, which are gen.
orally fed with view to induce a large flow

A NOTABLE ARI DISPLAY.
Splendid Ornamental work Done by a
Sewing Machine.

Sewing Machine.
A display Of art work that Is certainly
remarkable and very meritoriOus may be
seen at 16 East Main street. the Office of the
Domestic Sewing Machine, of which
machine R. B. Garfield Is in charge. The
articles-in great profusion and variety Of
ornamentation-wereb brought here by G. ID.
Henderson, from Cleveland, and are IN his
charge and that of Miss Chamberlin, of
Cleveland, and they will be on exhibition
but for few days One needs to spend
hours in looking at the articles exhibited to
do full justice to their beauty and artistic
merit. And it should be borne in mind that
these marvellous specimens are not the work
of the human hand but one and all exc
cuted by means of the Domestic" sewing
machines
The most prominent piece, near the en-
trance, Is a large representation of the
head of a tiger. 1t seems 10 be really
more life-like than an oil painting. for
the silk used gives the fur Of the animal its
natural glossy appearance, which can be
counterfeited by nothing else so closely as
by the needle of the embroiderer. One can
hardly believe that the work-so lifelike, so
perfect-was executed by machinery.
The display consists of banners, screens.
draperies, toilet articles, curtains, bed
spreads, and various kinds of fancy house
hold goods, embroidered on satin, plush.
silk and felt goods, canvas, etc.
The work is done with cheneille, ara
sene. silk. crewel, gold thread and tinsel.
The GLoBE-REPUBIIc most heartily
recommends its readers to call at once and
enjoy this free and most meritorious exhi-
bitiOn of art work.
