Thompson shot and killed Edward Dalton,
indicted for unlawful cohabitation in
March, 1885. Dalton has been arrested
and escaped frequently. He declared he

murder by the local authorities and will
be taken to Beaver tomorrow. There is
a good deal OF excitement over the affair.

Tho Campbell Case.

LONDON, December 17.-Finlay, counsel
for the defense, continued his closing areu.
ment in the Campbell divorce case to-day.
He dwelt on what he termed the inability
or refusal, of either Lady Colin Campbell,
Duke OF Marlborough, or Chief Shaw, to
produce single one of the letters which
passed between the first named and the
other two in q correspondence which the
plaintiff admitted had been carried on.
Sir Charles Russell, counsel for Lady Colin,
will finish his rgument tomorrow.
FIELAY CONTINUES.
Continuing argument Mr.. Finlay said
the evidence O. DR.. Hicks, who corroborated
DR.. Bird in tn: assertion, based on medical
examination, that Lady Colin had not had
a miscarriage, was worthless. because the
witness mind was imbued with the views
of DR.. Bird on the subject, OF which the
partisan. Concerning the alibi claimed for
Lady Colin on Sunday, August 13, 1888,
Mr.. Finlay contended that the evidence
was of the weakest character possible. 1t
rested solely on the testimony of witnesses
belonging to Lady Collins family. Where
was Baroness Francis, who Lady Colin
averred was in her company on Sat-
urday, August IL, and Sunday, August 3,
1883, when Lord Colin alleged that plain
tiff was at Purfleet with the Duke of Marl-
borough. On the other hand the defence
had clearly proved that Lady Colin was
absent from home on that Sunday.
WHERE WAS SHE,
but at Purfieet? Neptune Blood's attempt
to disprove man servant O'Neill's state
ment that tn, ough the key hole of the din
ing room at Cadagon Place, he had seen
Lady Colin and chief Shaw in a compro-
missing position, had also broken down,
and O'Neill's evidence remained unin-
paired, as to General Butler. Mr.. Finlay
contended that as respondent, he would,
if innocet, have repaired in court and de-
MED the charge against him. The case
was then adjourned.

Hints and Recipes.

Red ants will never be found in closets
or drawers if small bag of sulphur is
kept in these places.
The broth in which mutton has been
boiled can be made into good tomato
soup. The tomatoes must be baked
until soft enough to pulp through a
sieve.
To make good tea. Scald teapot well,
add one teaspoon tea for each cup, pour
on a little boiling water, and steep five
minutes, but entreat you, if you desire
a good cup of tea, do not let the tea boil.
Boiling Injuries tea.
Any gold jewelry that an immersion in
water will not injure can be beautifully
cleaned by shaking it well in bottle
nearly half full of warm soapsuds, to
which little prepared chalk has been
added, and afterward rinsing in clear,
cold water and wiping it dry.
A cool and refreshing drink that may
be used by young and old is made as fol-
lows: Put the thinly cut peel and the
Juice of one lemon in a jug or jar with
a Quarter oil an ounce of cream of tartar.
Pour over all one quart of boiling water
and sweeten to taste with granulated
sugar. Cover it up and when cool set
it on the ice and it will be ready for use.
Pour off the liquid clear from the sedi-
ment and serve.
Corn bread is more wholesome than
hot rolls for breakfast. Made in this
way it is excellent; Half pound of In
dian meal, half pound Of flour, one tea
spoonful of salt, and one tablespoonful of
baking powder sifted into bowl. Beat
one ounce of butter, one ounce of sugar
and two eggs together, and add to the
sifted meal and -four. Add gradually
one pint of milk for thin batter and
bake in a hot oven.
To clean windows: Wash with luke
wark water, rub with any clean, dry
cloth to take off the first dampness, then
finish with piece of chamois. A large
one can be purchased for fifty cents, and
it will last lifetime and save so much
hard work When soiled wash in soap.

There is danger in some of the patent
hair dyes, and hence the Scientific Apaeri-
can offers what is known as the walnut
hair dye. The simplest form is the ex.
pressed juice of the bark or shell of greer
walnuts. To preserve the Juice little al.
cohol is commonly added to it with few
bruised cloves, and the whole digested
together, with occasional agitation, for
week or fortnight, when the clear portion
is decanted and, if necessary, filtered.
Sometimes a little common salt is added
with the same intention. 1t should bC
kept in cool place. The most convenient
way of application is by means of {
sponge.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
An Emergency Shelf.

An old country doctor, with a widely
extended practice, one said "If peo-
Pile would only be sick bright moonlight

hard. But the more cloudy and moro
stormy the night, the more sure l am to

quently l have had to lead my horse, the
road has been so dark Now if people
only would be sick when we were ready,
or an accident happen when we were on
the watch, it would not be so wearing to
nerves and temper, but If baby has the
Group it will be pretty sure to be at
night, and Harry will cut his finger
nearly off in cleaning house time, or lit
tie Mary will be taken with chills when
no one can conveniently go for the doc
tor. Now every good housekeeper ought
to have an emergency shetland this
must be looked over as regularly as the
linen drawer to see that every needful
article is supplied and in its place. See
that the mustard is ready for little Marys
foot bath, so that she can be bathed
quickly and quiet sleep is sure to fol-

for cut fingers and soft linen hand
kerchiefs for burns, and ipecac,
if on hand in case Of Group
in the night, may save baby's life. A
small bottle of ammonia will allay the
it hing from mosquito bites, and a box
of vaseline will be good for chafng and
sores. And mother with little children
ought to have a rainy weather and Sun
day shelf. The little ones are cross be-
cause they cannot 60 out, or must be
kept quiet. Now, suppose mamma
brings out an old Noah's ark, that will be
quite new to the children, or a picture
book that has lain on the shelf for weeks
because the children were tired Of it, or a
ball of string or rcll of bright paper. A
hundred things might be put aside and
brought out on a dark day to make the
children happy One mother interested
her children when they were getting up
from the measles in making a sick-box.
1t was quite large soap-box, and she
! lined and covered it with pretty paper.
! Then the children were told to select
from their collection of toys and picture
books, the things to be put in the box.
| They were not to play with them when
they were well enough to be out doors.
Mamma kept the key. The plan worked
nicely. Sometimes the box would not
be opened for weeks. But when sick
day came, then came the delight of get
ting the key from mamma and having a
grand rummage in the box. But the
first day they could go out it was locked
again and put in its place in the dark
closet.

General MeClcllnn,s CHARGER.

When General Mcclellan took com
mand of the Union army in West Vir-
ginia, some of the gentlemen with
whom he hal been connected on the Ill
inois Central Railroad presented him
with very fine charger, named "Dan
Webster" lie was dappled mahogany
bay in color, with three white feet, and
a star, very heavy black name and a
long tail, sixteen hands high and weigh
ing 2S6 pounds. He was of Sir Archy
and Messenger blood, with an intelligent
head, beautifully arched neck, muscular
shoulders, deep broad chest. and every
point about him remarkable for strength
and beauty. AS parade horse he had
few equals, carrying his head as high as
his riders when mounted, and his
throatlatch and the tips of his forefoot
almost on a perpendicular when in re-
pose. He possessed some curious char
acteristics. For instance, he would not
stamp his feet or shake off fly, if there
were a thousand on him, if his master
were on his back reviewing passing
column. To his own species he paid no
attention, passing among them without
deigning them the slightest notice, even
when turned loose in the same yard or
field. He would stand anywhere he was
left without constraint, and 1.-THE boys
used to say that Handsome Dan" was
as brave as a lion and as discreet MS a
Judge.

Sensitive Animals.

A gentleman who recently made trip
on horseback through the mountain re-
gion of the West, evidently made an OBJ
servation which was to him discovery.
In writing an account of his Journey, he
says: "The behavior of our saddle horses
was very amusing, and showed the
prairie life plainly. The moment they
felt the cold storm they turned their
backs around toward it and dropped
their heads, and took no little urging to
induce them to proceed, as at each gust
they would whirl their tails toward it as
If turned by crank.W
The writer seems to have thought the
conduct of his horses peculiar to those
bred upon the prairies. 1t was, how
ever, just what any horses would do un-
der the circumstances, no matter from
what part Of the world they were
brought. 1t should be known TO all
drivers of horses with what reluctance
these animate face a storm or even a
chilling wind. 1t may be quite reason
able to drive before the wind on a stormy
day, when it would be positively cruel
to go over the road in the opposite di-
re ton
1t is convenient to know this habit of
the horse in case an animal has strayed
away during storm or high wind. 1t
will be found to have gone in the direc-
tion of the wind.
The habit of the sheep is just the con-
trary. This animal steadily faces the
storm, holds its head well up, and is in
clined to move forward. No domestic
animals give their keepers so much
trouble by wandering off in stormy and
boisterous weather as do sheep; but the
shepherds are saved much of the trouble
they might have in finding their focks
by making search in a direction against
the wind.
This instructive action of horses and
sheep is common to all breeds, and is in.
herited from their undomesticated pro,
genitors. Whatever may have been the
origin of these habits, we can turn q
knowledge of the facts to good account
in giving our horses more rational care
and treatment. YOUTHS Companion.

Cheese MS Food.

We ought to eat more cheese and less
fat pork There is no food that is more
healthiul, and which goes further to sus-
tain he natural waste OF the system than
good cheese. In Europe it takes the
place of meat on the tables of the poor,
but that fact would be no recommenda-
tion to the American. lie does not like
the idea of eating a thing that is the last
resort of the degrading governments of
Europe. Let us rather tell him that
cheese is an ever present article upon the
tables of the rich, which it is. That it
is quite the thing for even the children of
royalty to feed on cheese. Every respec-
table restaurant in London has upon a
small table in the center of the room the
half-section of large golden yellow
cheddar cheese, with knife in it, that
says "come and eat me-" and there is a
plate of crackers to go with it. If we
want to introduce cheese eating into this
country we must stop talking about the
poor of Europe and tell how the rich en-
Joy it, Make it fashionable and it will
go like hot cakes. .-RurdL Workman.

DestruetIye Sand Drifts.

On the south shore of the Baltic the
sins of reckless forefathers are being
cruelty visited upon their descendants.
Two hundred years ago the coasts of
Prussia were defended by bulwark of
magnificent beech forests, that resisted
the inroads of floods and dunes but
about the time of the great elector the
work of devastation began and continued
until some 10, 600 square miles of wood
lands had been turned into naked sand
hills. Now nature is getting her revenge.
Year after year the rains and strong floods
have washed out the remaining vegetable
film of those hills, leaving nothing but
sand and gravel, which gradually accu-
mulated in towering dunes, and at last
invaded the landward settlements with a
perfect avalanche of drift sand.
Seen from the village of Schwarzort,
fifty miles northeast of Koenigsberg, the
destruction dealing sand ridge looms up
to a height of l20 feet, naked and steep,
ever rising by additional deposits brought
in by the sand laden sea storms, and ever
threatening 10 discharge those deposits
upon the southern valleys. The fisher
hamlets of Altnegeln and Karwaiten
were literally submerged by a single
storm, and the little town Of Pilkuppen
had twice to be moved, with all its
buildings and fences. The remaining
vestiges of the ancient woodlands are
unable to stay the mischief. A fine for
est near Schwarzort has been turned into
a sand bank, crowned by the withered
tops of beech trees, which years work
OF the entire coast population would fail
to rescue from their sand grave. Fettl
