Hanging shelves in the cellar are a
great convenience.
Wal papers of large patterns decrease
the apparent size of the room.
Straw hats, straw mats, willow furni
ture, etc., may be cleaned almost like new
Il salt and water be used for washing
them.
The latest decree OF fasion is that tables
should no longer be square, but round or
Triangular, so that every guest faces the
host or hostess.
1t is a good idea for a tall woman to
have her kitchen table and ironing board
ah'tle higher than ordinary. 1t will save
many a backache.
Warts may be destroyed by being
rubbed with alum. Garry a lump in the
pocket and rub on the wart frequently.
Wetting it as you do so.
A French cook tells us that a piece Of
dry brerd, tied in a bag and placed in the
water while cabbage is boiling, will pre-
vent the unpleasant odor which usually
arises. :
The following makes a good stove
polise: To one-half pound powdered
black lead, add one-half gill water, one
halt ounce sugar; bottle, and shake thor
oughly.
For a cough, boil one ounce of fax
seed in a pint of water, strain and add 9
little honey, one n of rock candy and
the juice of three lemons; mix and boil
well. Drink as hot as possible.
When beating up the whites of eggs
add a tiny pinch of salt, because this will
cut them up, and make them frothy much
quicker, as well as make the froth more
"heady" than it otherwise would be.

The truth of Wordsworth's saying,
"The child is father of the man." is well
illustrated in the case of George KEENAN,,
the famous Russian traveller, whose thrill
ling stories of Russian prison life in the
Century have interested young and old
alike. When too young to read writing,
he could understand the sound of the al
phabet on the telegraph, and when only
six years old he sent his first message
over the wires, his father printing the
sentence for him. Before reaching the
oge of twenty-one, he was sent to ST.
beria~in the service of the Western Union
Telegraph Company. At that time he
was working in one of their offices at
home, and when the question came to
him over the wires, Scan you get ready
to start for Siberia in two weeks? r. he
flashed back the reply, "I can get ready
in two hours" 1t was this promptness
and zeal for this work which gave him,
as it will give to every boy, success in
whatever he undertook Chicago Stock
man.

LONDON, Aug. 17.-The belief is now
almost general that Home Secretary
Matthews will grant Mrs. Maybrick d
reprieve, and after reasonable lapse of
time pardon her. The belief is based
on the theory that an immediate pardon
would cover Justice Stephen with cons
fusion, and in a great degree impait
public confidence in juries, whereas a
suspension of the death sentence, as the
result of deliberations in which Stephen
took part, would be eminently satisfacI
tory to everybody, and the unfortunate
wOman's ultimate pardon would Scarce2
ly cause surprise, and certainly not re-
gret. The great pressure brought to
bear on the home Office for the exercise
of clemency in the case of Mrs. May.

to revise every conviction of the crime
of murder. with full and final power to

he THINKS his ScnCcnc6 hltO-
gether Too Severe.
PURvIs, Miss, Aug 17.-On appeal of
the case to the supreme court Sullivan
gave bond for $1,000 for his appear
ance and $500 costs. He left Purvis at
6:37 p. M, accompanied by his faithful
friend Clune. There was large crowd at
the depot who bade him goodbye. Re-
maud, Adams, and the Times-Demo-
Gratis correspondent accompanied Sui
livan and Mr.. Clune to this point. On
the train Sullivan had but little to say
and behaved we'll, although little jolly
when the train passed Richburg. Charlie
Rice was at the depot with large con-
course of people. BontireS were alight
and cheers were given to the cham
pion. Sullivan expressed his appre-
citation of the kindness of the Purvis
people, but knew from the start that
the court was against him. He hopes
Kilrain will be successful in his attempt
to avoid coming here through writ of
habeas corpus. The only part of his
defense he did not like was the state
ment made in his behalf that Kilraln
was the challenging party and had Sc
lected the battle ground, as he would
not prejudice his case. Sullivan
thinks his sentence a little severe
after his having willingly placed
himself in the hands of the law. He
could have crossed the ocean until his
pursuit was ended. Sullivan signed an
indemnity bond before he left Purvis,
so as to protect his suretles should any,
thing happen. At Meridian a large
crowd had assembled at the depot, and
cheered the champion.

sALIsBURY's BIG BLUNDER.
The Effect of the Tithes Bill Will

LONDON, Aug. 17.-Unless something
wholly unexpected should turn up, the
last spark of interest in current parlia-
mentary proceedings will die out with
the withdrawal of the rithes bill, and
there will be a meagre attendance Of
members the remainder of the session.
AS far as can be seen, nothing now re-
mains but to wind up the business in
hand, and the house will probably ad-
journ on the 31St of August. The pro-
posal of the ministry to embody in the
tithes bill a provision that the court
investigate rents, amounted practically!
to legal revision of all rents in Eng
land, and Sir William Vernon HarcOurt
did not exaggerate the matter in the
least when he pronounced the proposals
the most revolutionary principal that
any government had yet introduced.
The failure of the bill places the min
listers in the position of having attempt-
ed to enforce an admittedly unjust law.

TWELVE MONTHS IN JAIL.
John l.. Gets a Full Dose of Mis-
sisSippi Law.

PURvIs, Miss, Aug. 17.-Judge Ter
rell, whose eyes had been averted as if
meditating as he spoke, now looked up
and met Sullivan's gaze. Continuing,
the judge said:
The sentence of the law is that, as pun
ishment for the offense for WHICH you STAND M
convicted, you shall suffer imprisonment Tor
twelve months Ill the county Jail.
Sull ivan gloomily took his seat. None
of his friends spoke to him then-it was
best to leave him to his own reflections.
He maintained his StOlid look for
moment, but when attention was drawn
from him, his mouth put on the same
appearance as when he met Kilrain in
the ring-with little Of sorrow temper
ing the ferocity. The feeling passed
from him in another moment, and when
he got under the railing to leave the
court room. he faced the sympathetic
crowd with broad smile.
''sTAND UP, MR.. FITZPATRICK"
said Judge Terrell, in a kindly tone.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick took his place at the
bar.
ssMr. Fitzpatrick, said the judge, 'in view
of all that has been said in your behalf, and
which l am disposed to believe is true. you
appear to be a gentleman who was only
present at the fight as spectator, and one
who did not intend to violate the law. In
view of the statements in your BEHALF SEN
tence you to pay fine OF $500.
Can't. Fitzpatrick bowed and thanked
the court, but sat down without having
heard the amount of the fine. The re-
porters told him and he left the court to-
make arrangements for the paying of IT,
but the court was not yet through with
Mr.. Fitzpatrick, as will appear later on.
District ATTORNEY Neville said that he
was anxious to 90 home to-day and
asked that no more cases be tried until
next week. This was consented to, and
the agreement to allow sixty days to
file bills of exceptions was put on
record and Judge Calhoun then made
the motion for an appeal returnable to
the supreme court on the third Monday
in February. 1890. Judge Calhoun
stated that section 1929 of the code, for
an appeal of miSdemeanors, fixed the
bond from S100 to $1,000. The defense
had prepared bond for the maximum
amount and presented it. j.. ".
were the bondSmen. District Attorney
Neville announced the reception of in
formation of Jake Kilraln's arrival here
early next week, and asked the clerk
to issue a subpoena for Capt. Fitz-
patrick as witness in the Kilrain case,
and also against Bud Renaud, and he
wanted the summons served before the
witnesses left the state. When Mr..
Fitzpatrick came in he was informed
that he was wanted, and would be re-
uuired to furnish bond of $500 to ap-
pear when wanted. The eX-referee put
on as pleasant face as possible over
the new persecution, for he will have
to leave home and business again. Col.
J. B. Denison,, of Hattiesburg, became
his surety. The petit jurors crowded
the court stood adjourned until Monday

mally opening it's lines between Chi

larly the utilization of complete metallic
circuits. Representatives of the press
and number Of business men were
among those who tested the lines and
expressed themselves as being highly
pleased with the results attained. a
whisper could easily be heard between
Chicago and Milwaukee over the metal
lie circuits. Tests were also made with

subscribers in Chicago and Milwaukee,
connecting the ground circuits in each
exchange with the metallic lines be-

for successful long distance talking me-

lines between Milwaukee and Chicago
