Getting Even at Last.

Our red headed girls have at last got
the joke on the public. Every time a
pretty girl with red hair enters an ele-
waited train heads are stuck out of the
windows and necks are craned to see if
there isn't white horse following the
train. II she gets on to ferryboat people

seus Of some kind to pass the boat She
has got tired of this and of the miniature
white horse that the Broadway dude wears
on his watch chain and falnts insolently
In her face as she enters a car. She has
new scheme-a counter irritant. It's a
white horse breastpin made of celluloid.
which she wears conspicuously at her
throat. Instead of staring at her and the
road alternately. people give her undi-
vided attention for minute, and when
they discover the joke they smile and pass
on, glad for chance to attend to their
own business.-New York Telegram.

HEAVEN AND EARTH.

There are no shadows where there Is no eun:
There Is no beauty where there Is no shade:
And all things In two lines of glory run,
Darkness and light, ebon and gold inlad
God comes among us through the shrouds Of air;
And his dim track is like the siivery wake
Left by yon pinnace on the mountain lake
Fading and reappearing here and there
The lamps and wells through heav'n and earth
that move,
Go In and out, as Jealous OF their light,
Like sailing stars upon misty night
Death Is the shade Of coming night; and love
Yearns for her dear ones in the holy tomb,
Because bright things are better seen in glooml

blinded by the Blizzard.

A singular effect of gale of ice and
snow in the northwest during a cold wave
last winter was to freeze the eyes shut
and then form an ice mask over the face.
The wind would drive the fine. hard snow
into the eyes, causing them to water.
The snow would mix with the water, be-
tween the eyelids. and the cold wind
would at once bind the lids together by
an Ice band. The repeated removal of
this would in6ame the eyeballs so that a
dlm would form, obscuring the sight.
After this film formed, the presence Of
the Ice was relief to the Inflammation.
The eyes would soon be frozen SO close
that nothing but steady artificial. heat
would relieve them.-Boston Budget.

Cleaninr Linen Withou, soan.

According to LIndustrie Parisienne. a
laundryman in the vicinity of Paris has
discovered very ingenious method of
cleaning linen without soap. He uses no
soap or iye, nor chlorine. but replaces
these substances by boiled potatoes. with
which he rubs the linen. This curious
process. it appears. is much superior to
those hitherto employed. and the worst
soiled cotton. linen or silk, cleaned by
this method, are made whittier than they
could be by the use of an alkali. Besides,
the method has the advantage that brushes
can be dispensed with and well water be
used.-Frank Leslie's.

The Queen and Crescent Route to the
South challenges attention as having the
best appointed service of trains and the
fastest schedules of the day. The track is
in faultless condition, sleepers and coaches
are of elegant pattern, and few stops being
made by the Limited Express train after
leaving Cincinnati, no difficulty is expert
enced in obtaining accommodation of the
highest standard. The line penetrates the
richest mineral and cotton sections, and en-
route to New Orleans and Shreveport the
phenomenal cities of Chattanooga, Gads-
den, Birmingham and Tuscaloosa are passed.
A journey south, via Queen and Crescent
Route, is recommended.

It has been proposed to do away with
the use Of explosives in mines where there

tute the lately invented cartridge. one
portion Of which is filed with mixture
of finely divided ENC and zinc oxide,
which collects in the condensers of the
zinc retort. while the other part is filed
with diluted sulphuric acid. According
to the requirements in this case the cart
ridge Is put in its intended place and then,
by suitable mechanism. the acid is allowed
to flow into the zinc, hydrogen is then
evolved. and by its expansive force the

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, August 1G-The
weather was damp and sultry yesterday
neutrality-suspicious. weather for the spread
OF the yellow fever, yet no new cases wsre
reported up to noon. The city is being put
in thorough sanitary condition, and
along the river is as sweet and clean as .
hay field. Confidence in stamping the
fever out or keeping it in very narrow
bounds IS increasing. No pains or expense
will be spared to control the situation.
The members of the artillery company,
as well as citizens are very much disap-
pointed. The guns with which they in
tended TO test the concession theory had
not arrived. On Friday last at noon the
members OF the Wilson Battery telegraphed
to Pensacola for two guns. and, although
nearly four days have elapsed, nothing has
been heard from them except that they are
on the way, tied up, perhaps, somewhere
along the line OF the road, and it is impos-
sible 10 surmise when they will get here.
Two additional pieces were expected from
Fernandina last Sunday afternoon. They
did not arrive.
A great many idle persons are seen walk
ing along the streets. mostly colored peo-
pie, who had been deprived of their situa-
tons, in consequence of the prevalence of
the disease. and. unlike their white neigh
bors, were unable to leave the city. They
were orderly and quiet. and seemed TO
deprecate the situation as much as any one
for they were equally affected. The police
have instructions in order to avoid
trouble, not to allow crowds or groups of
men, either white or black, to congregate
in the streets
