An Ingenious Fruit Pitter.

One of the latest deyises for frult-pit-
ting is a small machine like rope pulley.
The wheel has four spokes and grooyed
rim. At two places diametrically oppo-i
site each other there are cups, in the RIM
of the machine, into which a peach,
apricot, nectarine or other fruit can be
placed. The wheel revolves on small
overhung bearing and is turned by hand, I
there being handle fastened to the rIm. RIM.
midway between the two cups. 3 The pin.
on which the wheel reSolyes is fastened
to bracket, which, in turn, is screwed
down to a table. On the bracket there
is projecting arm which curves over the:
grooYed rim Of the wheel, holding at the
end little guillotine-like knife and q!
corer or pitter. The fruit is placed ~.
the cups as each comes up to the knife.
The stem or pit is forced out and slides
down the groove into one basket, while
the rest of the fruit is carried around and
dropped into another. AS there are two;
cups on each wheel, two peaches, aprlcots
OF plums are pitted in one revolution Of
the wheel. This is the only handy rotary
fruit-pitter on which patent has been
granted. IL
The only difference made in pitting
cherries is in the size of the cup and;
groove which are, of course, smaller than
for peaches or apricots.-Sdn Francesca

THE WHITECHAPEL FIEND.
Another Feminine Victim of "Jack
the Ripper" in London.


the Ripper" in London.
- At $50 the other morning a policeman
found the body Of woman lying in corner
of railway arch spanning Gable street in
Whitechapel, London. Examination Of the
body showed that the head and limbs had
been cut off and carried away and the stom-
ach ripped open, leaving the bowels lying upon
the ground. The police authorities immedi-
ately placed Gordon of officers around the
spot, but no arrests were made. A police
man passed the place where the body was
found every fifteen minutes throughout the
night and saw nothing to arouse his suspi-
cions.
Physicians who examined the body believe
that the murder occupied nearly an hour,
and it is surmised that tho murderer carried
the head and limbs away in q bag. The
murder is the most horrible Of the whole
Whitechapel SERIES The dissection of the
body showed that the perpetrator possessed
considerable surgical skill.
The murdered woman was about thirty
years of age, and was evidently addicted to
clothing was shabby. AS yet she has not
been identified The murder created ire
mendous excitement, and large crowd Of
agitated humanity surrounded the morgue,
whittier the body was taken.
Further examination revealed the fact that
there was no blood on the ground where the
body was found, nor was there any indica-
tion of O struggle. This confirms the general
belief that the woman was murdered In a
house and her body taken to the spot where
it was discovered. Experts are Of the
| opinion that the woman was killed two days
previous to the discovery of the body.
Three sailors, subsequent to the finding OF
the corpseswere found sleeping in the ad-
Joining arch. They were arrested, but con-
vinced the police that they had neither seen
nor heard anything of the murder or the
body lying near them, and were discharged.
The generally accepted list Of the White
chapel iend's victims up to date is as follows:
/. Unknown woman, past middle age,
'Whitechapel outcast, found dead in October,
1887, with body horribly mutilated. Little
attention paid to the case.
Q. Martha Turner, found August Z, 1858,
stabbed in thirty places, probably with

IN THE FAR NORTH.

stories of Starvation Among Indians
Because of a Lack of Snow.
A terrible tale of suffering in the far North
is told by the Rev. E. H. Black, Church of
England missionary near Fort Simpson, who
has just arrived in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Last winter was very hard one for the In.
dians, owing to the absence OF reindeer ana
the impossibility of hunting moose success
fully in the absence of much snow. Ten per-
sons succumbed at Fort Wrigley. Mr.. Black
fears that the mortality during the coming
winter will also be great, unless there comes
a heavy fall of snow. Provisions gave out at
the fort last winter in the beginning OF
january. Flour is dear enough at any time,
the regular price being $50 bag at Fort
Wrigley, while it is s27 bag at Fort Simp-
son. But Mr.. Black says he would have
given 5000 bag last winter if he could have
purchased some and have given the Indians
a share. The distress in that district was ter
rible. He had to leave TO avoid starvation.
At Fort Lizard seven died from starvation
last winter.

Water Floods the White Ash and
Smothers the Men Working in 1t. 4,
One of the most serious mining accidents
ever known in Colorado has occurred in the
White Ash coal mine, near Golden. An old
abandoned mine runs alongside the White
Ash, and has for months been full Of water,
which, without a moments warning, burst
through into the White Ash mine, filling it
full of mud and water. Ten miners are known
to have been at work in the White Ash mine
at the time Of the accident, and not one OF
them could have lived five minutes after the
,surging mass broke in upon them. 1t will
take between two and three weeks before
their bodies can be reached.
Work will be commenced at once by hun
dreds of willing hands in order to pump the
mine out. but old miners who have been
through the mine say it will be impossible to
clear the mine and reach the bodies under two
and perhaps three weeks. Part OF the men
leave families who were dependent upon
them, while the rest We're single, and all

HUNDREDS OF VICTIMS.
Terrible Explosion in an Ant.
werp Cartridge Factory.
a Great Fire Adds to the Horrors
of the Calamity.

Dynamite exploded few days ago in d
cartridge factory, in Antwerp, Belgium, and
by the explosion and resulting fire probably
300 persons lost their lives many Of them
factory girls, about 1000 others were in
jured, and property valued at many millions
of dollars was swept away.
The factory was situated behind the docks,
where millions of cartridges were being
loaded upon the shipping. Close by were
the petroleum stores. The Bourse was so
near that it was struck by burning frag-
ments when the explosion occurred, and set
on fire. The building was crowded at the
time, and panic ensued, in which many
persons were slightly injured. ...
In workshop in the factory large num-
ber of men and women were actively at
work breaking up old cartridges, and about
twenty-five million had been partly taken to
pieces when the accident took place. So
rapid was the spread of the flames that it
was difficult to rescue those who had been
hurt, let alone removing the bodies
Of those who were instantly killed. The
police, gendarmes and the troops were called
in to help fight the fire, while priests and
Sisters of Charity looked afte: the wants Of
the sufferers The force of the explosion
was such that windows three miles away
were shattered.
By z o'clock the fire had spread
over an area Of two acres. Flames
were shooting up high in the Dir,
and the whole city was enveloped in
dense smoke. In the ruins Of the factory
and on the neighboring docks, above the roar
Of the fire there was constant succession or
sharp reports, supposed to be caused by the
ignition and explosion of the packages of
cartridges. As the fire spread, two large
Russian petroleum warehouses caught.
Eighty thousand barrels of oil were burning
at one time. Nobels sheds, and warehouses
beyond them, soon became food for the
flames.
The shipping was in a position of great
danger, particularly at the Africa and
American docks. Before they could be re-
moved, several vessels were burned. So in
tense was the heat that the fremen could
nowhere approach the flames nearer than 100
yards. Many soldiers and workmen received
severe injuries in this fight with the fire.
The Corvileian cartridge factory, where
the trouble began, had been condemned by
the Communal Council, but the Deputation
Permanente had allowed work to continue.
At the American docks all the ships were
saved, owing to the favofite direction of the
wind. The dock sheds and hydraulic cranes
were greatly damaged. The soldiers Of the
garrison and a large number of citizens
assisted the firemen. Many dropped from
suffocation.
The scenes at the hospital were heartrend-
ing. King Leopold sent telegram express
ing sympathy. The people are incensed at
the Deputation Permanente for allowing
work to continue in the cartridge factory.
