A Change for the Better.

Change is one of the irresistible laws of nature, and fortunately the change is almost invariably for the better. As an instance of this, St. Patrick's Pills are fast taking the place of the old harsh and violent cathartices, because they are mildei and produce pleasanter effect, be- sides they are much more beneficial in removing morbid matter from the system and preventing agne and other malarial diseases. As a catharitic and liver pill they are almost perfect. For sale by. Il. A Daily.

Isoa James were convicted of the
 murder of a whisky pcddler named
 Benjamin Blalr, whom they shot,
 and dividing his money, whisky and clothes they afterwards burned
 the body in futile effortto conceal their crime.
 Each one of them asked for new trial, and Willis insisted that if he could get another lawyer he could clear himself, but beyond this they said no thing. Like others they were separately sentenced to hang on the same day, January 10. 1890.
 Sam Goen and Jamison Burr1s, a year ago to-day murdered white man named Houston Joyce. Bur ris confessed to tho murder, but Goen declared, when asked if he had any thing to say, that he did not do it. Barris, who looks more like an idiot than anything else, having an exceedingly stupid expIes- slon and bnshy, unkeInpt hair, said nothing, and heard the sentence without seeming to comprehend or care what It meant.
 Jefferson Jones was tried with Jamison Jones and Madison James for the murder of an old white man named Wilton. who WAS passing through the country cn foot. They killed hIm and rctbed his body. Jefferson Jones W 8 the only one convicted. He declared that he vented new trial, aud to be gwen another chance for his life. He was the only che wh. showed much con- cern, and asked for jail sentence. Seemingly in the hope of gaining mercy he eonfessad to the CT inc and declared that he alone killed Wilson; that he was by himself and that he shot him one time, after which he took fvo dollars and a gun from the old man. He begged hard for some clemency, and heard the sentence with down cast eyes and trembling lips. He IS quite young This ended the ordeal, and the prisoners were conducted back 10 jail to await the coming of the day of their doom. .-Ft. Smith Times, lst inst

observing that clothing moths never at
tackled the wool and hair on living ami
mails, inferred that the natural odor of
the wool. or of the oily matter in it, was
distasteful to them. Consequently, he
rubbed various garments with the wool
of fresh pelts, and also wet other gar
ments with the water in which wool had
been washed, and found that they were
never attacked by moths.
Experiments with tobacco smoke and
the odors of spirits of turpentine showed
that both were equally destructive. but
it was necessary to close the room very
tightly and keep the fumes very dense in
them for twenty-four hours to obtain
satisfactory results Chests OF cedar or
sprigs of this rec are so disagreeable TO
them that they will not deposit their
eggs where this odor is at all strong, but
should the eggs be laid before the gar
ments are packed away the odor will not
prevent the Matching of the eggs nor the
destructive work of the larv@ afterward
Clothing may also be protected from
moths by packing 1t in stout cotton or
paper bags made perfectly tight, but this
must be done before the moths appear on
the wing.

CrueIty tn Circus Trnininr.

Unless tho methods of circus training
IN England differ materially from some
that still prevail abroad, it must be al
lowed that the protection afforded by
the prevention Of cruelty TO children bill
has not come day too soon. The his
tory of an English boy, who was till re-
Gently attached to a performing troupe
on the continent, furnishes pitiful mar
rative of barbarity and oppression. The
lad was apprenticed to a German circus
manager when 10 years old-that is, at
the limit of age prescribed in tue act.
For nearly eighteen months he has re-
mained with his employer learning his
calling and enduring much hard usage.
If he fell fr III the trapeze, frequent
occurrence, he was well thrashed. Ii he
failed in the feat of sitting on the ground
with his legs astride he was forced ino
the required position by a woman placing
her full weight on his shoulders.
After a time the treatment became SO
unbearable that he ran away and,
though recaptured, finally reached mis-
home with the assistance of the British
consul in Barcelona. This is exactly the
kind of case which the new bill Is in
tended TO provide for Some of its oppo-
nents object to what they consider to be
its needless Interference with the abused
rights of parents or masters. What
place Is there, we may ask them, for the
rights OF the wrongs of a child like this
circus boy unless the law provide one
In our own view, there is real cause tor
disappointment that many children, like
this boy, over 10, will still be exposed TO
the hardships OF such training merely
because their age does not exempt them.

A Unique Tea Set Described-New Styles
Porcelain Ware for Baking Sweets
Fashions in Shapes for Pates and

The little fve-o' clock tea tables, with
their dalntily embroidered clot his, are so
pretty and picturesque that it seems a
thousand pities that they are going out
of fashion; but such is the case, without
a doubt. They are inconvenlent, every
one says, except on very small occasions,
not only en- account of their diminutive
size, but because they are so low.
a unique afternoon tea set seen at an
afternoon tea the other day was of Jap
anese silver. The style was charming.
In the first place, the tray was a huge
lotus leaf, and the teapot, sugar bowl,
cream pitcher and cups were shaped like
the lotus, while the intertwined stems
formed the handles and the fret-veined
leaves the saucers.
There are some new styles in chocolate
pots which are more sensible than any
ever shown before almost without eXcep-
ton every chocolate pot hitherto manu-
featured stood on very uncertain base
and overturned at the slightest provoc a.
tion, The new shape oyercomes these
difficulties and comes with pretty tray
and half dozen cups and saucers. There
are some new shapes in salad dishes
and plates. cracker jars and cheese
dishes. 4 new device in porcelain ware
is intended for baking sweets, in which
they are served individually. They will
bear hot fire without injury, and are
made in a number of pretty shapes.
Small and delicate shapes for pates and
ices are still in fashion. LA Tosca" is
the name Of a prettyleaf-llke dish for ices.
In the new styles of game and fish
plates the tints are more reflection
than display, and much Of the flower
work is done in gold. In one pretty
style there is a delicate dash of tur-
quoise for a relieving color, with vines
family lined in gold and silver In this
set the sides are slightly concave, with
rolling edges.

former won, his time over the four-andb

In the race, and is said to have beeA

hind Searle at the finish.
Henry E. Searle first became cham
plon Of the world in professional rowing
on July 13, 1883. On that day he seulled
against Stansberg over the Paramatta
course of three miles. Searle, at the
Clarence River Aquatic carnival in Janu-
ary, 1883, beat G. Nelson, and HeaTrA
the champion Of New Zealand.
After beating Wolf, Searie finally
rowed his great race against Stansberg,
in which he beat all records. The next
best record to it was that made by
Beach of 20 minutes 20 seconds, when he
beat Hanlan in 1884.
Searle is feet 10 inches in height;
his chest measurement Is IL IL inches.
and his rowing weight 100 pounds.
Searle is tall, slender blond, with a
fair, rosy complexion and an inoipient

Build piazza on the west side OF your
house? Why the west sidef So you can
sit and see the sun set. Busy people
have not time to see it rise. Whether
one lives in city or country, the piazza in
hot weather is equal to another room
and the pleasantest Of rooms, too. Who
has greater need OF q pleasant place to
sit down and rest In and read after the
chores are done on o hot summer night
than busy, hard-working farmer or his
wifeP 1t will not cost much and will be
q good investment. Make 1t broad and
long, so there will be room for the rock

have read the paper and gone to your
early rest the young folks will take theiI

Portiere i'm n Seaslde Cottage.

Here is an idea for portiere In sea-
side cottage, which may be utilized by
many of our readers next season. The
room itself was as far from commonplace
as may be imagined. The ceiling was
tinted a pale sea green, the side walls
taking deeper tone. Fish nets were
draped from frieze to flooring, and In the
meshes were tangled many cOlored fish,
bought at Japanese shops. Holsters and
the long ribbons of sea moses. Oars
were crossed above the windows and
doors. In tho large doorway was first a
curtain, hung straight, of small fish cord,
woven into network, with the long
netting needle.
Many visits to the beach had resulted
in a large collection Of scollop and jingle
shels-gold and silver shells, the little
people call them-snd these had been
perforated and knotted in. Outside the
netted curtain hung pair Of portieres
made of coffee sacKing and decorated
with rings of green plush and fringes OF
shells. The effect was wonderfully pic
turesque, and has been obtained at small
trouble and time.-Pall Nall Gazette.
