three days before his friends could
obtain u hearing for him. In the
meantime the real culprits had been
caught, but the law required an ex-
PLANTATION of the language that ap-
peared to the police like a confession
of ofcomplicity-notwithstanding Mr..
Mouser's unquestionable social stand
ing and perfect responsibility.
The courtroom was crowded with
his friends and neighbors. His wife
gazed at him tearfully and lovingly;
but Mr. Mouser was very much cast
down. There was no escape. He had
to tell how distasteful wood-sawing
had proved to llim-how he feared the
ridicule of wife and friends if, after all
the boasting, he gave itup. But when
he related his midnight elopement
with his green saw-jack, even the
court Joined in the broad smile that
ripened into roar of laughter from
the less dignified listeners. The
crowning humiliation came, however.
when he left the prison for the coach
to be taken home. There he saw the
great abomination resting at the driv-
er's feet ON the front of the carriage.
His wife has not stopped laughing yet
at his midnight adventure. -Adapted

An Electricians Views on the Coming
Weapon of Warfare.
1.-The coming weapon of civilized
warfare will not be an explosive bul
let, but chemical one" remarked n
scientific gentleman day or SO ago.
MANY suggestions of this sorl have
been made and some plan will be
adopted b fore long, unless. | am
greatly Mistaken
'Wh: t is the best planp">
Il am inclined to favor the sueoes-
tion of Weston. the electrician. H.
Suggests the use Of nitric Of ;lmyl. 1t
is well known, that this drug possess IS
the power of causing nsibility yerv
quickly in, human being breathing
its fumes. Tho eff ct is equiva-
lent, temporarily to- n para
lytic stroke. NV. nitrate of
ansle is! very cheap and plentiful !.
He proposes to fire shells filed with
this chemical instead of gunpowder.
II will not be necessary to penetrate II
ship. A few. gallons of this nitrite
dashed on the deck of war-ship
would soon render her crew helpless.
The most powerful iroaclads would be
even more vulnerable than the light
cruisers. for they would be sucking
down great draughts of air through
their artificial ventilators and the odor
would thus rapidly permeate the whole
ship. The whole crew being rendered
helpless for an hour or two, the shin
could. of course, oe towed into safe
spot. while the eaptors ventilated her
and removed the insensible men,

ADULTERATED LARD.
A Congressional Investigation Shows
t What 1t Is Made of.

A Congressional Investigation Shows
What 1t Is Made of.
A bill has been introduced in the
Senate at Washing on providing for
the stamping of all packages contain
ing any preparations of lard. The
testimony given before the Senate
Committee on Agriculture, by parties
who have examined various prepara-
tions of lard now on the market. has
added materially to the stock of public
information on this point. A chemic.
al examination of several prominent
brands of family lard" has shown
them to be variously constituted. Ole
sample examined seems to have been
totally innocent of any trace of hog
lard. and to have been made up chiefly
of beef fat and cotton seed oil. Other
brands of lard have contained varying
percentages of the abb owe articles.
with the addition of hog lard and
stearine. One BRAID in particular con-
tanned sixty per cent. pure lard. twen-
ty per cent. cotton-seed oil and twenty
per cent. SteafIle.
A prominent lard manufacturer
testified at the inquiry that seven
.eighths of the Lard of commerce was
made up of various portions Of tho
bodies of the hogs, added to cotton,
seed and stearine. Testimony was adj
duced tending 10 show thai the lard
constituted as above was more popular
than the pure lard itself An example
of this was shown in the case Of
manufacturer who was at one time un-
able to supply the demand for the
adulterated article, and furnished his
customers with pure lard instead. The
result of his effort to supply the de-
mands was the receipt of large num-
bers of letters complaining OF the quail
ity of pure product thus furnished. An
other feature Of the inquiry is the at

that the bill is really aimed at and

A FUNERAL AT SEA.
The Most Solemn Ceremony Which Man
Can Witness.

The Most Solemn Ceremony Which Man
Can Witness.
Every head was uncovered as we
stood silently awaiting the funeral
procession, for every heart felt the
solemnity of the occasion. We were
about to consign one of our comrades
to the great unknown depths of old
ocean, and the most hardened of us
stopped for moment to turn his eyes
inward. He who had so recently been
with us was now to be forever hidden
from our eyes, left to his watery rest
ing place. far from every human heart.
while we were borne onward over his
grave, onward to a distant land where
for a time we would defy the hand
that had smitten him to whom we were
about to pay the last tribute. No
grave yawned to receive him; not even
the vessel halted in it's course, for the
greedy waters would willingly part to
receive his body. Unlike the stable
earth that with every human death is
pierced through her motherly breast
to enfold her child, the inconstant
ocean seemed rising to meet his
ghastly tenement, ready to bear him
down, down into his depths, where
the deposits of the ages lay hidden.
But see! The solemn procession has
reached the deck First walks the
minister clad in his robes. B bic in
hand, and after follow the pall-bearers.
with their sad burden. The side OF
the ship is reached, where we stand,
and from which portion of the rail-
ing has been removed, and the body
is softly rested upon the deck.
Nothing breaks the solemn stiffness
but the deep throb of the vessel that
goes plunging forward, until the
tones of the minister are Gheard as he
begins the impressive funeral service.
Every thing proceeded as upon terra
firma until the moment comes to con.
sign the body to the deep. Here the
ritual differs. 1--WE, therefore, COM
NIT his body to the deep, to be turned
into corruption, looking for the resur-
rection of the body (when the sen
shall give up her dead)," With th
words, the plank on which the body
rested was raised, and it silently
slipped off into the ocean. 1t parted
the waters with swish. aud only a
few bubbles marked the place where
it had sunk. One, indeed. felt as tn
eye fingered on the closed waters.
that "the wind passeth over it, it was
gone. and the place thereof shall

STORY OF A SAW-BUCK.
Why Mrs. Mouser Still Continues
to Laugh.

Mr.. Mouser and his merry little
wife occupied charming cottage in
the suburbs of large city in the
.'Fatherland /" His business connec-
tions were of such nature sthat he
was usually at leisure after four
o'clock in the afternoon. This gave
him time to devote q great deal Of at
tention to his wife and home and pur-
suits congenial to man of his cali
Der.
Mr. Mouser prided himself on be-
ing man of originality and brains.
Mr.. Mouser also liked little joke-at
other peoples expense.
1t was autumn. Mr.. Mouser had
just laid in u goodly supply of winter
fuel. Wood was chiefly used for this
purpose in the land Of Mr.. Mouser's
birth.
Sitting by theRwindow of his cosy
living room enjoying royal smoke
from i long-stemmed porcel ain pipe,
MI. Mouser watched the wood sawyer
plying his trade. made easy by long
habit and handling wood and saw.
As Mr.. Mouser gazed and pondered.
an idea crept into his head. It was
grasped-as IDEAS quickly became
captive there.
"Lisbeth, : said he to his wife. .ft
