Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-06-05

A POLICEMAN at Dungannon let the cat out of the bag, on May 18th. He was be- ing examined before the Presentment sessions in connection with claim of f60 for the burning of barn. He swore that he visited the scene of the burning on the morning after the fire, and from what he saw he believed it to be a pure accident
 When questioned, he said he reported the fire as Ian outrage" and, asked to explain why he did so, he very candidly assured the sessions that he could not report it any other way, as he had no other forms but those headed for "outrage!' And very proper excuse! If the authorities will have all "outrages" and will take the pre- caution of supplying outrage papers, only, why of course any constable will un- derstand what is the article most in de- mand. A wink is as good as a nod in such cases.

ON what grounds the members of the board of aldermen who killed the proposi- tion to build police station, base their action is not quite clear to us. Not one of them will have the nerve to say new police station is not needed. We will back the old morgue against any police station in city of 35, 900 in the country. It is a place unfit to confine any human being, and it also lacks proper accommodations. Inasmuch as the cost to the city of a new station would only be $6,0o0 or S7, 900, and as it is case of necessity, the action of the city fathers is a trife peculiar.

THE "White Caps" of Spencer county, Ind., have made new movement. They have written and posted in several places a lengthy proclamation defending their lawlessness on the ground of laxity of the officers in punishing crime, and say that their attention is especially directed against wife beaters, loafers, lewd women and the men who visit their houses, and boys under 16 who run about at night. The re- markable part of the manifesto is Q com mand that the newspapers in the county shall publish their proclamation under penalty of chastisement of the editors for disobedience. One of the papers has com piled.

THE RHINE FALLS.
Utilizing the Water That Flows from
Constance to SchaGhausen.


Visitors to the Rhine are well ac-
quainted with the Rhine Falls, situated
at Schatfhausen, these forming the
largest cataract in Europe. Some
twenty miles below the point where it
issues from the Lake of Constance, the
Rhine, with width of $50 feet and
an average depth of about q feet,
plunges over a barrier OF rocks vary
ing in height from As feet on the right
bank to about 60 feet on the left. H.
GLIDING the rapids, the total fall within
distance of little over a third of a
mile is estimated at $50 feet The vol
ume of water passing over the falls
per second varies from Il minimum of
11S cubic meters in February to II max
mum of SOP cubic meters in July, when,
in consequence of the melting of the
snow in the mountains and the rise in
all The tributary streams and brooks,
the Rhine reaches its highest point.
In this practical age of inventions and
progress very few will be sur
prised to hear that an applica-
ton has been made for u concession
to utilize these magnificent falls
for the manufacture of aluminium, the
story of which, with numerous illnstra-
tons and maps, has been recently told
by one of the American Consuls. The
applicants are Messrs. j. G. Nethers.
Sons d Company, iron workers at SchaG-
hansen, who ask for the privilege of
constructing dam from Laufen Mill
to the railroad bridges, length suf-
ficient to furnish them with a volume
of seventy-five cubic meters per second.
If this is granted they propose to estab-
lish works for the manufacture of
aluminium, furnishing employment at
first to 500 workmen and latter to
double that number They estimate
the water power requisite to carry on
their works at an equivalent of 1900
horse power and submit with their APP
plication the necessary maps. plans
and drawings. They further announce
that company with a capital of 49,
000,0 900 francs (about G4S0, 000) is pre-
pared to conduct the enterprise, and
they offer al, reasonable guarantees
against any marring or DETACHMENT of
the natural beauties of the falls. The
proposition is being met with n strong
opposition, this being led by the hotel
keepers, men of influence in Switzer-
land and many others who are depend
ent on the tourist business. Their
business, they say, would suffer difas-
trously md all over the Rhine district
energetic endeavors are being made to
get the application refused. -London

Graphic Illustration OF "ComnS Out OF
the Little End of the Horn"

| Graphic Illustration of "CominS Out OF
the Little End of the IIorn.H
An ancient painting was recently
discovered in country shop at Rich
mond, Surrey, England, from which. it
is supposed, this saying originated. 1t
measures eighteen inches by twenty
two inches long, is in good state of
preservation, and is described as fol-
lows: Upon tree, whose branches ex-
tend to each side of the picture, hangs
by a red belt with gold tassel an enor-
nous curved horn, the ends upwards.
At the extreme left stands man with
black velvet fiat cap, and surcoat
trimmed with fur, rough, and gold
chains on the breast. He is suDerin-
tending the action of man atlired in
purple doublet, profusely slashed,
who wears large felt hat and u cloak,
with dagger in his girdlo. and is en-
gagged in thrusting into the large end
of the horn I'm unfortunate wretch,
whose trunk and legs (the latter loosely
bound together with rope, the end of
whicn is held by the gold-ehained gem
tleman) are inverted, and are the
only portions of the body visible
at that part of the picture. But
at the little end of the horn,
about six feet away as the crow
flies Cor across the radius of this in
strumcnt of torture), but nine feet
along the curved surface, appear the
unhappy head and one arm of the vic
tim. At the right stands a man clad
only in Il shirt and ragged coat, wiring
ing his hands with woe-begone express
sion depicted in his countenance. On
black ground at the bottom of the
picture is the inscription: This horn
embleme here doth shove of overlshipp
what harme doth grove from comeing
ont the little endc thereof" On either
side of the tree are the words in semi
gothic character: The Sea of Trubble."
Above the head of the parsonage in
the velvet cap is the citation: Psalms
81, 26: But he is ever merciful and
lendeth and hissede enjoyeth the bless
ing" The wearer of the gold chain
is probably the sheriff, possibly the
creditor, who has brought the poor
fellow who was so foolish as to UNDER
take sureteship, bound to the tormen-
tor. He is putting him through the
horn, with elongates, and congresses
him in most distressing fashion.
Whether the beggarly man. who is
wringing his hands, is the debtor him
self after his passage through the horn,
or one of his impoverished family,
there are no means of determining.
The picture, a most graphic illustra-
ton, at least, of the proverb, Coming
out of the little end of the hoEu," is in
a good state Of preservation. though it
is thought to be upwards of two hun
dred years old. The name Of the artist

RULES FOR WINTER.
Observe Them Carefully and Avoid Sick
ness and Doctors Bills.

Never lean with the back upon any
thing that is cold.
Never begin journey until the
breakfast has been eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then
Immediately go out into the cold.
Keep the back, especially between
the shoulder blades, we'll covered; also
the chest we'll protected. In sleeping
in cold room establish the habit of
breathing through the nose, and never
with the mouth open.
Never go to bed with cold or damp
feet.
Never omit regular bathing, for I'M
less the skin is in active condition the
cold will close the pores and favor con-
gestion or other diseases.
After exercise of any kind never ride
in an open carriage or near the window
of a car for a moment; it is dangerous
to health or even life.
When hoarse, speak as little as pos
sible until the hoarseness is recovered
from, else the voice may be permanent
ly lost, or difficulties of the throat be
produced.
Merely warm the back by the fire,
and never continue keeping the back
exposed to heat after it has become
comfortably warm. To do otherwise
is facilitating.
When going from a warm atmos-
phere into Il cooler one keep the mouth
almost closed so that the air may be
warmed by its passage through the
nose ere it reaches the lungs.
Never stand still in cold weather, es-
peciallv after having taken slight de-
gree of exercise, and always avoid
standing on ice or snow, or where the
person is exposed to cold wiud.-Sani-
