Another one of those horrible accl-
dents that almost daily happen from
the careless handling of fire arms oc-
cured here Wednesday evening, re-
sulting in the almost Instantaneous
death of Louis Clet Trouard. Il most
cstmable y. nth of Is summers, and the
only son and support of his widowed
mother. While in the store OF MIR.
Daniel Boudreaux, making q small pur-
chase, he expressed Il desire to see IA
gun which stood behind the counter,
and the young son of Mr.. b., Theodore,
youth OF about the same age as de-
ceased, in passing it to him held it by
the butt while Louis grasped it at the
mnzzle. 1t was loaded and had been
so for some time, and repeated efforts
had been made to discharge the load.
In the transfer, the gun Went off, as is
said, from button on the coat of
Theodore catching the trigger. The
muzzle was at that instant almost touch
ing the head of Louis, which received
the entire charge, producing a most
horrible wound. Deputy Coroner DIR.

malice, aud the mother, we are in
formed, is satisfied that it was one of

Am Easy Way to Wash.

The following method of washing Is
given by correspondent in Home aud
Farm, and j. worth trying, us it does
away with the OLE ti,eSome process Of
rubbing:
For one bar of soap (>uch as comes
in red paper use three tablespoonstuls
of coal-oil. sucI as you use in the
lamp. For family of five on six, put
enough water in the boiler to boil the
clothes, add two tablespoontulS of coal
oil and two thirds of ii bar of soap, or
its equivalent of soft soap, let it come
to "A boil, wet your cteanest clothes In
cold water or warmed enough tor COM
fort. 1T wrist bands are very dirty, a
little soap may be rubbed on them !;
put them i'll the boiling water and boil
fifteen or twenty minutes. While they
are boiling wet the next boilertul, and
if very dirty add another spoonful OF
oil ant more soap. The last boiler will
not need any more oil or soap. 1t
takes about as much soap as the ordl-
nary way, but it is all put in the boiler.
After boiling suds, rinse ms usual. Two
things remem her-have plenty OF SOAP
in boiling water, and have it boiling
when the clothes are put IN. III you
fail the first time, Try, try again; You
will be sure to like it. We have washed
this way nearly year-long enough to
test it-and our clothes look nice and
white. and we say let those rub who
want to.

Sol zen Hair

An examination of ;he structure Of
hairs shows that the difference OF coll
ors is entirely owing 70 the tint OF the
liuid which fills the hollow tube in each
hair. The beautiful golden hair owes
its brightness to an excess of snl3hur
and oxygen. with q deficiency Of car
bon; while black hair owes its ictty as
pcct to an excess OF carbon, and a de-
licjercy Of sulphur and oxygen.
