Cooking as She is Taught.
"Papa," said an eighth-grade girl as she
pushed away her plate at the dinner table,
''Tm afraid can't eat any dinner to-day"
"Why, what's the matter-are you sick2''
anxiously asked the parent
"Oh, it's nothing serious; I'll get over it;
but we took our cooking lesson to-day, and you
know we are obliged to eat the results Of our
efforts in that direction"
Then the father thought Of the first biscuits
that child's mother had made, and of his des-
perate attempts to make them stay on his
stomach, and q great sob Of sympathy welled
up for his little daughter as he helped the
other members of the family.

This party arrived at the Hotel Maywood
in Martins Ferry about nine O'Clock Tours
day night. The were detained on the route
about two hours by the heavy rain, and
were pretty we'll tired out by the time the
hotel was reached, and we're prepared t.
appreciate steamiDg supper which had
been prepared tor them. After supper
the party met q number of propil
nent Martins Ferry meu in the
hotel parlors. Mr.. Blood addressed two
meetings of citizens Thursday, one al
Hopedale and the other at Smithtiold. H'
asserted last night that the South Pennsyl
vania and Ohio Railway would surely 6'
built and that he guarantees that train'

Explosive Witch Hazel Pods.


have before alluded to the remarkable
shooting powers of the witch-hazel pod.
Some time ago, being DESTROYS OF putting
this force to some practical test to ascer-
tain the distance covered by the flight Of
the seeds, brought home several Of the
branches, as we'll as a pocketful Of the
nuts. My experiments with the latter
upon long piazza and elsewhere proved
to demonstration that the momentum of
the eeed would commonly carry it to q
distance of 90 feet, often over 80 feet,
and in one or two instances the diminutive
double-barrelled howitzsr5 succeeded
in propelling their missiles to the distance
of As feet by actual measurement. l placed
the bough well laden with the nuts over 0
picture in my room, and retired, but
might as well have sought sleep in Pande-
mouium. The incesssnt chatter upon cell
ing, wall and furniture forced me At length
to drop the offending branch ont of the
window. A large psstedoard box, contain
ing pint OF so of the loose pods, kept up
such continual spitefuL tattoo that these
also had to follow their fellows, and several
of my friends to whom had presented
sprigs of the festive shrub told me on the
following morning that they had been
obliged to give them separate apartments.

A FATAL RIDE.
Six Lumbermsn Drowned In the
Rapids.

Six Lumbermen Drowned In the
Rapids.
WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, July 19.-Nne
men left the camp of the Eau Claire Lum-
Der Company, Tuesday morning, to begin
their days work. They work about forty
five miles west of Calgary, on the Bow
river, and began descending the series Of
rapids. They came to a portage, and
carrying the boat half mile, attempted to
cross the Kananskis rapids, short distance
above a chute of five or six feet in height.
When the boat got within three feet of the
shore the hands attempted to stop her by
throwing q line around q stump, on the
bank. They failed, and the boat became
unmanageable and swung around In the
current, acquiring such momentum that
before anything could be done she shot
over the falls like an arrow. In the leap over
the first chute she shipped only little
water, and the second fall was passed
without shipping any more. The men
were absolutely helpless and unable to
reach the shore, for the boat fairly spun
on the water. She kept in the centre OF
the rapids until near the third fall. Then
one of the men Jumped out of her and at
tempted to reach the shore, the boat shot
over the third fall, and landed plumb
upon a Jagged rock, that barely showed
itself above the water. Two Of the men
managed to grasp the smashed boat, and
the other SIX were swept under by tbs
rush of waters, and were never seen
again. The wrecked boat, with the two
men clippipg to it, was picked mp four miles
| farther down the river. Tue msn VINO
iumped from the boat before it went
over the falls, reached the shore in an ex-
hausted condition.
