The Future of Pittsburgh.

Charles Hinckeldeyn, an attache of
the German legation in Washington City,
who has been investigating the natural
gas in Pittsburgh, and the indus tries
affected by it, with the object Of making a
report to his government, says: s'The
use of natural gas as fuel is something
new to me, but should say, from what
have seen Of it, that Pittsburgh is destined
to become the greatest manufacturing
city of America. The supply apparently
is inexhaustible."

wooden Pie Plates.

the wooden article are that they will not
allow the pie to burn nor the lower crust
to become soggy. Perhaps, for the sake Of

Paper Doors.

A durable and weighty looking door is
now made of paper. While it costs about
the same as wood it is much better, because
there is no shrinking, swelling, cracking or
warping. It is composed of two thick

panels and glued together with glue and
potash, and then rolled through heavy
rollers. It is first covered with q water
proof coating and then with a f1reproof

R0nMelA,

Think of man 100 years old talking
about bonnets. Yet that is just what NJ.
Chevreul, the French chemist, delights to
tlo. His observations on the headdress
are curious and may guide ladies in their
visits to the milliner. He says a block
bonnet, with white pink or red feathers
or flowers, suits fair complexion. 1t
does not go badly with brunettes. altho ough
the effectis not so good, but they may add
orange or yellow flowers or feathers. A
white hat is only suitable for tiorid COM
plexions whether blondes or brunettes.
Gauze, Grape or tulle bonnets suit all
complexions. A white bonnet for a blonde
should have white or pink flowers; blue is
still better. Brunettes should avoid blue,
and rather choose red, pink or orange.
Light blue bonnets are especially suita BILE
for fair persons; they may be trimmed
with white flowers or even yellow or
orange but not pink or violet. For dark
persons who venture to wear a blue bon
net, yellow or orange is Indispensable. A
green bonnet sets off pale or slightly col
ored complexion it may be trimmed with
white, red or pink flowers A pink bon
net should not be TOO near the face, but
should be separated by the hair or by
white or green inside trim ming the latter
color especially. White flowers, with an
abundance Of leaves, produce good effect
on pink. A dark red bonnet is only suit
able for persons with a highly colored COM
plexion. Avoid yellow or orange honnets.
Violet is not to be recommended unless
separated from the face, not only by the
hair, but by yellow accessories also. The
same precaution should be taken for yell
low bonnets, which can only be worn by
br,1nettes, with blue or violet trimmings.

WANTS, FOR SALE, ETC.
Only Half Alive.

There are hosts of men and women who,
to coin phrase, are only half alive. That
is to say, have seldom if ever any appetite,
are nervous, weak, fidgetty and troubled by
numberless small pains and aches. In the
presence of vigorous, exuberant vitality
they seem mere pigmies. Such persons are
usually fond of frequently dosing them
selves, swallowing in the course of the year
enough drugs to stock any apothecary's
shop of average dimensions. This. Of
course, defeats instead of furthering the
end in view, Aiz: the recovery of health and
vigor. Were they to seek from an unfailing
source of vitality, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, how different would be their case.
Then vigor would return to their deblitated
frames, the glow of health to their wan
checks. their trembling uncertain gate
would grow firm and elastic. appetite, that
grandest of all sauces. would give a relish
for the daily food, were it ever so coarse,
and refreshing sleep would crown the tasks
of the day

Undismayed by the long and
terrible list of Arctic disasters, and
in spite of the general protest
against any more expeditions into
that region which followed the
Grecly calamity, another explorer,
Colonel Wilder, proposes this sum-
mer to make another attempt to
reach the north pole. He proposes
es to 60 along to the mouth of
Hudson bay, where he will recruit
a party of natives with dogs and
sleds, winter in the vicinity of Cape
Sabine, and thence try to reach the
pole on sleds. He prosposes to
have with him only Esquimaux,
who always live in the Arctic re-
gions, and upon whom he can
depend for transportation and SUBJ
sistance, and cas- he is thoroughly
acquainted with the country and
the habits of the natives, and will
have no white associates, he is con-
tident of accomplishing his pur-
pose. Tho consultations attaching
TO his scheme are that it will not
throw away any of the peoples
money, as he does not propose to
call upon the government for help,
and that when the final disaster
comes the only white man involed
Will be the protector of the expedi-
ton, who deliberately takes his
life in his own hands with full
knowledge of the fate which has
never failed to overtake his prede-
Gessors sooner or later.

The present outlook of the Wood
River country is a great deal bet
ter than at any previous time.
Until the past year prospectors and
mine-owners were q little uneasy,
fearing that ore was only to be
found near tho surface. But the
developments during the past few
months in the Minnie Moore, Queen
of the Hills, Idahoan and one. or
two other mines that have been
sunk on to the depth of from 400
to $50 feet have dispelled all fear,
the ore bodies being much larger
and Of higher grade than that ia
ken from the upper levels. There
is not one instance in the whole
Wood River country where deep
mining has not increased the value
of tho property ten-fold. With
this encouragement miners all over
the country are sinking as rapidly
MS possible on mines and prospects,
and We hear reports daily of gener-
al improvement. Men who know
the amount Of ore extracted
last winter say it was five times
rs large as the yield for the winter
of 1885. As the roads will be in
good condition in a couple of
weeks more, ore hauling will COM
mence and business will revive and
be in good, healthy condition.
The year Of 1886 will be a very
prosperous one for Wood River.

The Anarchist Most will swing
the blacksmith's sledge at Black
wells Island for one year. Then
he will pay a fine of $500 or swing
the sledge five hundred days more.
That was his sentence. The New
York Times says editorially: eff
ever a man earned death or the gall
lows, Most has earned it. Society
and civilization are bound by their
own safeguards not to proceed
against the enemy'of both, except
under safeguards against doing
him an injustice. Most's sentence
is proof that they are not without
weapons against their enemies,
bluntcd though these weapons be,
and that it has not yet become
necessary to deal with creatures
like Most as we do With rabid dogs.
Inadequate as the punishment is,
it is better for the community to
be content with inhicting it, be-
cause it is all the law provides,
than to execute swift and informal
justice upon the scaffoid or by
hanging him to lamp-post.".

Basic, Switzerland, writes to the
Department of State at Washing
ington that the Swiss Government
is becoming seriouly alarmed at
the great number of converts
the Mormon church is making
among the women of that Repub-
lie. He says the Mormon mission
aries have been working in that field
for years. They have established
mission schools, and are educating
children by the hundreds in the
doctrines of the Mormon Church.
The Swiss authorizes have written
to their Minister, at this place,
asking him to inquire of Secretary
Bayard If this Government will
regard it as an unfriendly act on
their part if they shall break up
the schools and drive the Mormon
missionaries out of the country. 1t
is mentioned as a singular fact
that all the conversions thus far
made by the Mormons have been
from the ranks of the Protestants.
There is not one Roman Catohlic
among the number.
