A NIadman's Ingenuity.

John B. Leoni, a young sculptor, whose parents are supposed to reside in Jersey City, who for some time has been an inmate of an asylum, escaped from his keepers some time ago and wandered to Burlington, N. J., where a lively in- terest was taken in him. He was found roaming ainlessly around the streets, and, pending the result of inquiries as to his identity, was placed in the city jail.
 Shortly after his incarceration Leoni obtained possession of piece of soap and proceeded to astonish the jailers. With his finger nails he dexterously be- gan carving the soap and gradually it assumed human shape. When through his labor Leoni had produced a model of an Alpine huntsman. The figure, which is now in possession of Mayor Silpath, is about seven inches in height. The right arm is outstretched, the hand encircling the neck of duck, which is as care fully reproduced as the figure of the hunter. The left hand hangs by the side, holding a shotgun. At the feet of the hunter lies the figure of a retriever, wistfully gazing at the game his master holds aloft.
 Leoni is said to have brother in this city who is an engraver.-New York Press

Cleaning Mattresses.

Most good housekeepers have learued the value of a genuine hair mattress so that no word of caution seems necessary, but the frequent tricks that are resorted to for deception render it doubly neces- sary that the housekeeper take heed where her mattresses are sent to be renovated and to whom they are sent. 1t is a far better plan to have all such work done at home, but this is quite a difficult matter, as upholsterers grumble about the lack of conveniences at houses and prefer to do this work at their shops. It is not the exception, but the rule to deceive in these matters. The camc's hair wool mentioned for comfor- tables makes a luxurious bed, that costs about tho same as white horse hair. As made by the Jaeger system, these mat tresses arc covered with woolen drill. The double mattress in one piece made up in this way costs about $49.-Good Housekeeping.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-03-06
Secret Hiding Places,

One of the most interesting features of our country houses is the secret hiding place. This generally has been contrived with much architectural skill, and in days gone by baff1ed discovery from the most observant and experienced eye. In certain cases it would appear that, for some reason or other, the hiding place has been specially kept secret among members of the family. Thus, in the north of England, may be mentioned Netherhall, near Maryport, Cumberland, the seat of the old family of Senhouse. In this time honored mansion there is said to be areal secret chamber, its exact position being only known to two persons the heir-in-law and the family solicitor.
 According to the popular tradition the secret of the hidden room has never been revealed to more than two living persons at time! This mysterious room has no window, and, despite every endeavor to discover it, has, it is said, defed the in- genuity of every visitor staying ill the house. With this secret chamber may be compared the one at Glamis, the lat ter possessing a window, but which has not led to the identification of the mys- terious room.-Liverpool Courier.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-03-06
Tho Prince of Goodwin.

We are told of McDermot, known as the Prince of Goodwin, who belonged to one of the principal Connaught families. that his income in 1776 barely amounted to G100 year, yet he never suffered his children to sit down in his presence. Lady Morgan adds that his daughter-in- law alone was permitted to eat at his table; even his wife was not accorded this privilege, as, though well born, she was not of royal blood. When Lord Kings borough, MT. S,nsonby, Mir. O'Hara, MT. Sanford, and others, all men of position, came to see him he only took notice of tho two last named, whom he thus ad- dressed: ''O'Hara, you are welcome! Sanford, am glad to see your mothers son" (his mother was all O'Brien). "As to the rest of ye, come in as ye can. n."--. Black~ood's Magazine.

Wellington's Kindness,

The Duke of Wellington's kindness to children is prettly illustrated by an anec- dote told in Lord Stanhopes Notes of Conversation There were two little ones residing at WalInar while their parents, Lord and Lady Robert Gros- venor, were abroad.
 The children having expressed their desire to receive letters by the post, the duke every morning wrote a letter to each of them, containing good advice for tho day, which was regularly delivered to them when the post bag came in.
 Bo, as little Robert Grosvenor was called, was gratifed almost every morn ing by tho duke playing football with him on the ramparts of the castle. Oc. casionally the sport was transferred to tho drawing room, where cushions were used instead of the football.-Youth's Companion. r
