Warden Walsh IS sorry he made such fuss
about the Brooklyn lawyers complaint. He is
likely to see a much bigger connection in con-
sequence Of this affair than he dreamed OF.
Everybody who has had the same experience as
Lawyer Rhodes should consider it pressing duty
to make the facts known at this time. Walsh
ought to be driven from the place he occupies.

One would think that after the experience OF
all these years, after having expended IN con-
tracts and awards about $15,OOO,OOO, the
Aopeduct Commission would be sufficiently
familiar with the procedure OF obtaining BIDS

offers and begin over again. This process Will
DELAY the work another three months, and ap-

100 Doses One Dollar

Il uery amusing scientific experiment
may be performed by taking a saturated
solution of nitrate Of potash (~sa!tpetre)
and, with a quill pen or fine brush,
drawing any picture, design, or woras
upon a piece of white absorbent paper.
The lines should lie kept away from
each other; and the entire subject
coaIsely drawn in outline. When dry,
the lines will be nearly invisible, hui II
one of them be touched with the glow
ing end OF an extinguished match, a
spark Of fire will run through the paper
following the lines already traced, and
cutting out the design as IL with an
invisible knife. This experiment is
explained bv the chemical constitution
of the salt petre. This salt contains q
large amount of oxygen, so loosely com'
bined that it readily leaves the nitrogen
and potash, and unites with the carbon
of the paper, wheu heated to the point
of ignition. The heat developed by the
combustion is not sufficient to ignite
the paper, except where it has been
saturated with the oXygen-giviDg salt;
and so the spark of fire, which is really
only an indication of a violent chemical
reaction, follows the lines previously
traced. If an actual flame was brought
in contact with the paper, Of course,
the whole would be consumed; bun the
heat of the glowing charcoal Is just
sufficient to start the combustion, by
the aid OF the oxygen in the saltpetre.
The explosion of gunpowder is due to
the anne cause.

HOUSEHOLD

KITCHEN CONVENIENCE st is a
matter of surprise to me, writes a house
keeper In the Prairie Farmer, that 50
manys Kitchens are bare, or nearly so, OF
the many little convenlences which cost
almost nothing, and yet go far towards
making things easy. 1t takes but a few
minutes to make a pot holder, and yet
how many catch up the first convenient
thing, be it wiping towel or apron, for
this purpose, because forsooth there is
no holder to be found, OF if there is one
there is no designated place for it to
hang on, or rather them, for there
should never be less than two holders,
and these two should be kept clean by
an occasional washing. II towels are
preferred for handling things in the
oven, they should be kept for this pur-
pose alone, and never COMPOUNDED with
hand and dish towels, and there should
be special provision for drying dish
towels, otherwise they soon become
musty. Keep them clean by frequent
washing; a greasy, oily smelling dish
towel should never he allowed. In
many large families, where there is
much dish washing, it may require some
vigilance on the part OF the mistress OF
the house to effect this, but it can and
should be done in all cases.

it is unnecessary. To avoid anything APP
preaching tlamboyancy, to adhere to tho
rigid limits of truth. is, as we have ever be-

honest course. SCOTS Emulsion of Cod
