Something happened in this town last

owner refused TO leave house which he
had been warned TO vacate. About two
years ago Ed. Kelsey sold his farm TO Joe

A very simple and valuable code of ice
signals has been published by Mr.. F.
Wyneken, of New York, which, the
Herald says, commends itself to officers
of transatlantic steamers. Mr.. Wyneken
divides the North Atlantic ice regions
into squares of one degree of latitude and
longitude, and the most dangerous part
of this region into smaller areas, inserting
in each area on the chart two letters.
BY the use of the international Code OF
Signals any vessel which has sighted ice
can warn other vessels she may happen to
pass by single display of the new 'ice
flag" in combination with the flags of the
International Code corresponding to these
letters. By the adoption of this code
steamer approaching the ice region can
quickly ascertain from any vessel which
has crossed the Newfoundland Banks
just where ice was seen, and what kind
of ice (whether heavy pack, icebergs or
light field ice). Such code, the Herald
thinks, ought to be introduced at once
into all steamers sailing between Europe
and America, as it would undoubtedly
contribute very materially both to the
celebrity and safety of their navigation.

Government Contracts for Supplies.

In order to give some idea of how a
government contract can be obtained,
the following is taken from the official
distractions: Proposals must be made in
duplicate on the forms furnished by the
department, and be accompanied by
certified check or draft on some United
States depository or National bank, pay
able to the order of the Secretary of the
Interior, which cheek or draft shall be
for not less than ten per centum of the
value of the estimated quantity of sup
plies proposed to be furnished at the
prices given in the proposal, if such total
value does not exceed $4,000; if over
that amount the check must be for 81, 900.
The check to be forfeited to the United
States in case the bidder receiving an
award shall fail to execute promptly
contract, with good and sufficient sure
ties, according to the terms of his bid;
Bids not accompanied by certified
check or draft will not be considered.
Each proposal must give the names
of all parties interested in, or par
ties to it, together with their places
of business and postofice addresses. If
to be represented by an agent, his name
and address should be given. All arti-
cles to be of the best quality unless 9TH
erwise specified. Samples must be fur
nished as required in the schedule, and
each sample should be marked to show
the name of the bidder, number of the
item, and price. All articles will be SUBJ
ject to rigid inspection upon delivery,
and such us donot conform strictly to the
requirements of the contract will be re-
jectcd.
The reason why certified check is re-
quired from each bidder is to prevent ir-
responsible persons from putting in bids,
and then if the award suits them proceed
to execute the contract, otherwise throw
it up. The multiplication of work be-
came so great by the presence of bidders
of this character that this requirement
is made, and it has had the effect of
keeping out the curbstone dealers whose
bank account could not stand the reten-
tion of q certified check for mon.1 or
so.- Washington Star.

"Hippophagy is now seldom heard of,
says the London st. Janes's Gazette. ga
few years sgo it was strongly advocated
in many quarters; but the British public,
although ready to swallow almost any
thing in the way of food put before IT,
never took kindly to horse-hesh, and
turned deaf ear to the persuasions OF
those who recommended the adoption of
this kind of diet. It is probable, how
ever that horse-hesh is often eaten un-
awares, and that its consumption is far
more common than is generally imagined.
Butchers whose consciences are not ten
der occasionally, it is to be feared, sell
horse-fesh as ordinary meat to unsus.
pecting customers. An attempt is about
to be made to put matters in this respect
on a more satisfactory footing. At a
meeting held recently for the purpose
of e!iciting an expression of opinion
from the butchers of Manchester and Sal.
ford with regard to the sale of horse.
flesh as human food, it was decided to
appoint committee for the purpose OF
getting an act of Parliament passed to
compel butchers who sell horse-fcsh tc
label it as such"

Some of the soundest advice which has
been given young people this year is in
the address by NJ. Renan, at Paris. 1t
is worth the consideration of both young
and old. He says, among other words:
"Joy and work are two healthy things.
Work then, work incessently, but amuse
yourselves. too. Do not fatigue your
selves. Rest yourself from one kind Of
work by another. Have various subjects
of study. An old rabbi of the first GEN.
tury said: 'One can pour several meas
ures of oil into barrel full of nuts.
How true that is! Aspire to know every
thing; the limits will come later on. Be
always thoroughly good and respectable
young men; if you are not, you cannot
work we'll, nor even amuse yourselves
we'll. One must lead good life to
possess gayety of mind"

Most people know the benefit Of lemon
ade before breakfast, but few know that
it is more than doubled by taking another
at night also. The way to get the better
of the bilious system, without blue pills
or quinine, is to take one, two or three
lemons, as the appetite Graves, in as much
ice water as makes it pleasant to drink
without sugar, before going to bed; in
the morning, on rising, at least half
hour before breakfast, take the juice of
one lemon in goblet of water. This
will clear the system of humor bile with
efficiency without any of the weakening
effects of calomel or Congress water.
Peop'e should not irritate the stomach
by eating lemons clear.

Hailstones Large as a Mans Head In
Texas
Dispatches from Elgin, Manor and Paige,
on the line Of the Austin branch Of the Hous-
ton and Texas Central Railway, state that
those places and che surrounding neighbor-
hood have been visited by storms which in
flicted great damage At Elgin there was
terrific thunder, ruin and hail Nearly
every building in the place had windows
broken AMI holes knocked in the
roofs. Hail fell varying in size from
O marble to o mans head, perforating iron
and tin roofs. One hailstone was picked
up that weighed seven pounds. The Metho-
dist church was blown from its foundation
and demolished. The Baptist Church was
moved slightly out of line and thu windows
in the north were wrecked. One man was
struck by hailstone and seriously in
iured. At Manor the storm did indescIib-
bable damage to crops, hailstones falling as
large as hens eggs. Three churches and
many other buildings were badly dam
aged. At Paige there was very heavy
rainfall, but only slight damage was
done to crops and buildings. At MeKia,
on the main line OF the Houston and Texas
Central Railway, IN Limestone County, one
church was wrecked, and the corn crop was
injured. several small houses were unroofed-
No lives were lost, the people hastily iieeking
shelter in storm houses when the gale ap'
preached.

FATAL FLAMES.
Destruction Of the Industrial Fair
Building in Boston.

Destruction Of the Industrial Fair
Building in Boston.
A Are which occurred in Boston on the
afternoon of the 2lst resulted in the death
of a number Of workmen and the destruc-
ton of the large Institute Fair building.
This structure was erected in 1881 by the
New England Manufacturers and Ne
chanics' Institute at a cost, exclusive
of the land, Of about 100000. The
building had about eight acres available for
exhibition purposes. The property was sold
recently to the Metropolitan Street Railway
Company for $500, 900, including the land.
Since then it has been used for car repair
shop and storehouse for cars not required for
immediate use.
The rapidity with which the flames
to save their tools and lost hair and skin
before they could get out OF the building.
About 100 cars, many Of them newly
varnished was the material on which
the flames were feeding. The great barn
like structure was so full Of flame that the
very walls were blown out Firemen
tried to turn their streams through the win
dows, but the water seemed to add to the
fuel, and they could only save surro unding
the building from the point Of origin had al
most as great difficulty in making their es.
cape as did those nearer the first burst Of
flame.
1t was in the east end of the building, in the
carpenters shop that the most heartrending
tragedy occurred. The windows, for some
unaccountable reason, were covered with
screens made Of quarter-inch wire, and to
this cause must be attributed the loss OF sew
eral lives Of the imprisoned workmen.
One poor fellow succeeded in forcing
a hole through the wire barrier with
his foot, which became entangled and he was
burned to death in full view of the crowd,
his body falling within the furnace man
was driven out Of the window of the second
story by the flames He was about to leap,
had put one leg over the window sill.
when the roof above fell in aud
pinued him fast where be was. No
ladder company had arrived, and
the crowd of hundred or more men outside
were rowerleSS to render assistance. The
flames followed almost instantly and the inn
prisoned man peri.hed in agony before the
Mortified eyes Of his friends below. Two OF
his fellow-worknen, John McNulty and ).
F. Fallen, were terribly burned trying to
scale the wall to reach their dying comrade.
His sufferings were mercifully short. The
awful furnace Of flame soon wrapped
him about in fire and smoke and his last mo-
ments were shielded from the sight OF the
spectators Not long after the wall itself
gave way and nothing more was seen. =.
At first it was thought about fifteen lives
had been lost, but search among the ruins
revealed the bodies of only six men. Tho
pecuniary damage is about S25O, ,OO9.

AN OILY PHENOMENON.
Fish Dying by Thousands Along the
North Carolina CoS0e.

The people in the vicinity of Raleigh. n.
c., are rerplexed over phenomenon that is
observed along the southeastern coast Of the
State. An oily scum on the water
extends for several miles out to sea
and affects the rivers for long dis
tance inland, making the surface smooth
and calm Fish are dying by thousands ana
floating like chips on the surface Of the water.
1t is supposed tLat they are poisoned by this
oily scum, but whence the destroyer comes
nobody knows 4 suggestion that ship
loaded with oil may have foundered in the
vicinity isscouted, because. from Lockwood's
Folly all the way TO Little River, the scum is
found and the coast is strewn with tho dead
fish all the way. In the salt water aoou6
Shallotts and Tubb's Inlet are immense
quantities of the dead fish of every kind, ana
Il is feared that there are no live fish lett IN
Shallotte river o. within ten miles OF lts
mouth. The water appears to have become
as oil aud th4 wind seems to make no I'M
preston on it.

English sparrows have become such
nuisance in New Jersey that thy are
hunted regularly. The professional
hunters usually perform their work at
night, in the vicinity of hayricks, where
sparrows pass the night. The method
pursued in catching them, which is known
a as bat-fowling, requires the presence of
four sportsmsn. One carries long heavy
stick, with which he beats the sides of
the rick, and starts the game. Another
bears lantern at the end of a long pole,
toward which the birds fly when awak-
ened from sleep. The other two hold
close against the roosting haunt of the
birds q wide-mouthed net, into which
the sparrows dash, bewildered by the
noise and dazzled by the light.
