Pool Beer Boycotted.

In New York, on Sunday, the Central
Labor Union declared general boycott
on all pool, beer. The names of the
union breweries will be advertised and
the members of the organizations con.
nected with the Central Union will use
no other beer. Preparations for the
probable lockout at the breweries to-day
were actively carried on in the labor
organizations of the brewery employees
and the unions affiliating with them.
According to the bosses programme the
lockout will be declared at noon by the
little probability that the difficulty will
be averted Numerous labor organiza-
tions have indorsed the employees and
adopted q general resolution to abstain
from all malt or spirituous liquors for
two weeks,

Robbed i'm Broad DAYLIGHT.

Mrs. B. /. Wood, prominent lady of
the East End, was knocked down in broad
daylight in Pittsburg, Saturday. by two
men and robbed of diamond ring and a
wallet containing q small sum of money.
The assault was made on one of the most
prominent thoroughfares, and was wit
messed by number of persons. After
securing their plumber the highwaymen
started down the street pursued by several
men, but turned on their pursuers and
fired several shots, which had the effect of
compelling them to give up the chase.
This is the fourth time within as many
months that women have been assaulted
and robbed in that section of Pittsburg in
broad daylight.

Baseball Personalities.

In resume of the changes made in the
different League teams and the chances
of success, the Philadelphia Press says:
"The Washington Club is another
conundrum. What it will or will not do
is a problem hard to solve. 1t is made
up Of young material and the very best at
that, Should the team play well to-
getherit will surprise many people by its
work. Individually it is strong, but it
can hardly stand the strain OF playing
against its older and stronger competitors.
Surprises IN the baseball world are in
store, however, and there is no telling
where the young Senators may land at the
finish.n
Gaflney's umpiring was much admired
in Cincinnati.
Whitney wants his release from Pitts
burg. How would he look IN q Washing
ton uniformP His batting average was
.343; average of bases stolen per game
was .0S. He led the rd-basemen, his
percentage beng .024, leading the famous
Denny .036.
The Pittsburgs are said to be improving
in batting. They need to. They were
the weakest batters in the League last
year.
Stemmyer' is said to be doing good
work this year.

SOME STARTLING FACTS.
The Discovery of the Cause of Most
Untimely Deaths That Come Upon
the Community,


The Discovery of the Cause of Most
Untimely Deaths That Come Upon
the Community.
The Official returns of the city of New
York show that nearly three.iourths of all
deaths are from consumption. When we
stop to calmly think over this fact, 1t Is
really awful. And yet every case without
exception started from small beginnings.
A cough in the morning; tickling in the
throat; thick phlegmy discharge; chilli
ness at night; difllcut breathing; tight
ness across the chest; these and many more
symptoms indicate the presence of that
terrible disease which, unless checked
means certain death with long and painful
suffering.
In view of such serious and ever. present
facts the suggestions aud advice of the
most eminent physicians are of the great
est value.
DR. John Gardner, one of the most emf
ncnt physicians In London, says Science,
common sense, Holy Scriptures and all
experience testify 10 the benefits derived
from the use ofpure whlskey."
DIR. ID, ii. Barker says: 81 have used aud
examined Duiiy's Pure Malt Whlskey, and
lind IL the best ever tried,h
Dr. s. NJ. Buclwalter says: "Dutfy's
! Pme Malt Whiskey is, without doubt, the
invalids drink when stimulants are indi-
Gated, and lind all chronic cases require
stimulants, and a large per cent. Of the
! acute ones also.n
! These truths, from the lips of the lead
/ ing scientific men OF the day, and con-
frmed by the experience Of men and
women we'll known in the community
should serve as guide for all who feel the
approach of consumption, no matter by
what path II may cone. We do not hesl-
tate to assert that any man or woman who
will use Duily's Pure Malt Whlskey ac-
cording TO directions can defy consump'
tlon and prolong life with all It's blessings,

Arsenic i'm Wall Papers.

No apparatus is needed beyond an
ordinary gas jet, which is turned down
to quite pin point until the flame is
wholly blue; when this has been done
a strip of paper suspected to contain
arsenic is cut one-sixteenth of an inch
wide and an inch or two long; as soon
as the edge of this paper is caught in
contact with the outer edge of the gas
flame gray celebration, due to arsenic,
will be seen in the same. The paper is
burned little, and the fumes that are
given off will be found TO have strange,
garlic-like odor, due to the vapor of
arsenic acid Take the paper away
from the flame and look at the charred
end. The carbon will be colored a
bronze red; this is copper reduced by
the carbon; being now away from the
flame in fine state of division, the
copper is slightly oxidized by the air,
and on placing the charred end sec
ond time not too far into the flame, the
flame will now be colored green by the
copper. BY this simple means it is
possible to form an opinion without
apparatus, and without leaving the
room, as to whether any wall paper
contains arsenic, for copper arseniate
is commonly used for coloring wall
papers.-The Home.

Christmas Presents.

The ideal Christmas present is that
which bears the most intimate connec-
ton with the individuality of the giver.
Its cost is not the principal element in
its value, because it is not like other
presents. The custom of making Christ
mas gifts originated in that mysti-
cal symbolism which the early Chris
tians loved and which they followed
out in various ways. The eating of
eggs at Easter was in itself to them
ceremony, the breaking of the shells
being regarded as a symbol of the burst
ing of his tomb by the resurrected
Christ. The same dreamy habit of
making ordinary matters reminders of
the supernatural originated the idea
that gifts from friend to friend at
Christmas time should be symbolical of
the wonderful divine gift which the
day was meant to celebrate. This is a
phase of the matter which is usually
lost sight of at this season. Christmas
presents average higher in price every
year, until their cost is in some cases
serious burden to those who adhere to
good established customs. This in
crease of cost defeats its own purpose.
The symbolical idea of the present,
which is the only reason for its being
made, is lost in contemplation of its
intrinsic value. No one makes gifts
upon holidays like Thanksgiving and
Independence day, and it is only within
few years past that tokens of remem-
brance on Easter have been more than
a card engraved with some glad re-
ligious inscription. New Years pres
ents are not so generally made, and the
original reason for making them is not
certainly known. These facts bear out
the assertion that the custom of making
Christmas gifts is based upon symbol
cal ideas. The donor of Christmas
present should make it suggestive of
his own personality. If he is an artist
some gem of his own painting would be
better than anything else. If he is an
author, some book of his writing would
be excellent. If he is an artisan or
mechanic, some useful article of his
own handiwork would best remind the
recipient of the friendiness which
prompted the present. Leave costly
gifts for other occasions. Let Christ
mas gifts be appropriate and simple

WhiStling Girls.

The art of whistling is rapidly COM
ing to be appreciated as an accomplish
ment. Although it has been mostly
practiced by gentlemen, it is being
taken up by ladies as well, and many
of the fair sex far surpass their brothers
in artistic ability Miss Ida Fackrell,
one of the beautiful young ladies for
which Ogdensburg, n. Y, is famous,
has achieved more than local reputa-
ton as whistler. The Journal of that
city speaks enthusiastically of her
thus: 1t is utterly impossible to de-
scribe the lady's talent or peculiar gift.
Those who hear her are captured at the
first trill There is probably not
another lady in the country who pos
sesses such rare and charming gift.
Could canary or mocking-bird be
taught to render the highest class of
written music, they might make toler.
able imitation of Miss Fackrell's pro-
duction. In the hands of first class
manager to put her forward, she would
create a sensation in the musical
world and win fortune. She stands
alone as whistler"

Too Much Reading for Children.

Things and not books should keep
young eyes busy. You should hear the
wrath of Boston doctors with children
of their own over the increasing work
of the school committees of that and
near towns put on the pupils. elf
let my girl study half that is prescribed"
says one, "she would be myopic in two
years and sightless by thirty. l wish
could move out to Dakota, twenty miles
from the nearest school-house, and
bring the children up myself. They
would know hawk from a hernshaw
as far as anyone. See those boys with
big, handsome eyes, going from school.
Half can't sight target or duck in a
marsh or a ship down the bay. If the
country should have another war the
government would have to find regi-
ments in spectaclesl- Nine hours day
do those public school children pore
over school books with the vilest print
that ruin eyes. Between the poor
print of school books and the news
papers, and incessant reading, we are
losing eyes as fast as possible. The
big, handsome-eyed women have to use
atropine to see at all, and the clever
women all have contracted sunken
eyes from reading too much. They be-
gin at five years old and keep tasking
the eyes till the amaurosis sets in. Do
you know there isn't one person in
five hundred with really good eyes, and
fewer children?" - Shirley Dare, IN

Recipes.

APPLES WITH GELATLNE.-Make a
syrup of one pound of sugar, three pints
of water-pare, halve and core twelve
large fine apples; add the juice and
grated rind of lemon to the syrup, then
drop in the apples and cook slowly till
tender. Remove the apples to glass
dish and add half box of gelatine
(Which has previously been soaked in a
little cold water) to the syrup. When
dissolved, strain and turn over the
apples in the dish, and set in cool place
to harden. Nice, with or without cream,
for dessert.
BOILED CREAM DRESSING, FOR
SALAD, CABBAGE, ETC.-The yolks of
three eggs beaten with two teaspoon
fuls of mustard; two of salt; one-fourth
tea-spoonful of cayenne pepper, one
tea-spoonful sugar; two full tablespoon
fuls melted butter; one cup of cream OF
new milk, heated in a double boiler;
when hot add the other ingredients
stirring constantly until thick like Gus,
tard. Remove from the fire, add the
whites of three eggs beaten stiff, and
half cup of vinegar into which has
been boiled an even tablespoonful OF
cornstarch. Stir slowly to prevent
curdling.
