The Sea-Serpent at Last.
From the Providence Journal

TIOm IL IIONlucuCS
The earliest sea-serpent tale comes by
way of Stonington from Capt. David
Tufts, of the British schooner
Annie Harper. The Captain is from st.
Johns, n. B., with lumber, and put into
port Saturday night.
He reports that SATURDAY. morning,
about 10 O'Clock, when between Block
Island and Watch Hill, his attention was
attracted by a great commotion in the
water about $50 yards from his vessel,
and while his attention was drawn in
that direction he saw what he is fully
satisfied was a veritable sea-serpent. At
least he saw some huge monster that
answered the description often given in
other summers of such an animal by
those who claim to have seen the mys-
may have been, the Captain says that it
appeared to be about 100 feet long. At
one time it raised a tail thirty feetin the
air, waved it for a few seconds and then
dashed the water into a foam. While
this portion of the body was exposed
Capt. Tufts had a good view of the same,
and describes it as being about the size
of the main boom to the vessel, taper
ing t. a fine point. In color it was a
dark brown, with spots almost black.
The animal was going in an easterly
direction, apparently at a speed of
about ten miles an hour, and after his
body disappeared from view the wake
made by the monster was d%iscernible
for a long distance. AS the weather
was clear and nothing obscured the
vision of the captain, his observation as
above has transformed him from being
sceptical as to the existence of sea SER
penis into a full Deliver in there being
such a member of the family of marine
monsters. Capt. TUFTS has made several
voyages to this port, and is ordinarily a
thoroughly reliable man. Some Ston-
ington people are inclined to believe in
the serpent also.

HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS.

WHEN ~whitewashing your cellar add
In ounce of carbolic acid to each gallon
of wash before applying.
WASH oilcloths in warm borax water,
and wipe with a soft flannel wrung out
of skinned milk. Ink stains may be
removed by weak oxalic acid.
BLACK ink spots may be taken from
white goods by dipping the soiled parts
in melted tallow, letting tile for awhile,
and hen washing the ordinary way.
GREASE spots may be removed from
carpets by first covering with pow
dered chalk and then passing over
them a hot iron, the spot and chalk first
being covered with soft brown paper.
SILK underwear should be washed
through several cool waters in which
soap and borax have been dissolved.
All silk wear should be squeezed by the
hand rather than rubbed, although
especially soiled spots must be rubbed
with a little soap.
WHEN ironing, if a starchy deposit at
taches itself to the iron it may readily
be removed by sprinkling a small hand
full of common salt on a piece of old
carpet or thick cloth, and passing the
hot iron overit several times.
TEA stains on linen usually succumb
to an application of %glycerine and egg
yelk washed off with clear water, but if
this fails dissolve a quarter of d pound
each of chloride of lime and common
soda i'll three quarts of boiling water
and dip the stains in the solution, which
should be kept bottled up and ready for
emergencies.

the atmosphere of a house that length
of time, as American leather is cured
too quickly to develop it's best wearing
qualities. 1t is better, also, to have two
pairs of shoes, and wear each alternate
ly a day at a time.
WHEN doing an ironing 1t is a help to
the tired mother to select one rod of
the clothes-rack upon which to hang
articles that need repairing, When a
button is missing, a rip or rent in little
aprons or a hole in a stocking, hang the
garment on the one selected rod; then,
when the clothes are folded to be put
away they need no examining, as the
pieces requiring a few stitches are all
in place. Make it a golden rule to
lever put an article away unmended.
LACEs are sometimes whitened by
putting them in a bowl of soapy water
and setting them in the sun. Point lace
can be tackled on a suitable cloth, keep
ing all the points stretched. Then, with
a fine brush, and a lather Of CASTLE soap,
it can be rubbed gently. When clean
on one side the other must be treatedin
the same way. Then let it be rinsed in
clean water, in which a very little alum
has been dissolved, to take off the suds.
With a little starch water 60 over it on
the wrong side, and then iron it. When
dry it must be opened, and set in order
with a bodkin. If this lace is not very
dirty it can be rubbed with fine bread
crumbs.

He Took Gas.

A Toledo Bee man was sitting IN an
office recently chatting with the occu-
pant, a well-known young lawyer, when
the conversation turned to dreams and
the rapidity with which the brain
worked during sleep. Eyes" remarked
the legal gentleman, "the brain is a
marvellous continuance. If that fact
ever skipped my memory it was
brought forcibly to mind several days
| was suffering with a humping tooth
ache, and resolved to have the offender
out. Accordingly | made for the near
est dentists while my determination
was strong, and, dropping into a dental
chair, answered to his "Will you take
gas ?" in the affirmative. 1t was my in
itial experience with the fluid, but |
inhaled it without experiencing any
peculiar sensation at first.
81 noticed presently, however, that
the office clock licked abnormally loud;
in fact, it soon was pounding away like
one of Krupp's giant hammers. Final

found myself in a strange city. Several
months passed and numerous trivial
things happened which | remember
wildly, even to the minutest details.
Somehow or other I got in with a fast
crowd of young men, and one night
during q quarrel over a game OF poker |
shot and fatally wounded one of my
companions.

preliminary proceedings my case came
up for trial in the court of common pleas.
The trial was a lengthy one. | remem-
Der well the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
up, and the strong defense my attorney
made in my behalf, but without avail,
for the court sentenced me to be exc
cuted by electricity, a strange and fear
full death. Mylawyer got a stay of exc
cution of the sentence, and the case
was carried to the circuit court. An
other lengthy trial ensued, concluding
by the judge confirming the decision o
the lower court, and | again became
reconciled to the thought of being exc
cuted. My lawyer was untiring, and
finally made another attempt to save
my life, carrying the case to the SUI
preme court. / think something like a
year and a half elapsed before the case
came to trial for the third time.
However, its conclusion bore no fruit
to my liking, for l was again sentenced
to an electrical execution. | spent
many weary days in prison, and it was a
relief when the day set apart for nv
death came around. / awoke early,
bathed, ate a hearty meal, and at 10
O'Clock, when the turnkey beckonedme
to follow him to the death room, 1 was
wholly prepared to depart this life. l
seated myself in the somewhat clumsy
chair, and my arms and legs were strap
ped tightly down. A dampened sponge
was placed on my head, and, although l
didn't look up, l knew well that the
connection was made that would soon
make me a human conductor. / closed
my eyes, but opened them just in time
to see the jailer drop a white handker-
chief. At the same instant the current
was turned ON. A dreadful wrenching,
burning pain shot through my system,

The Real Reason.
From the Terre Haute Express.

Said the old gentleman with the large
pendulous jaws: "The women don't
thank a man for giving up his seat in g
car nowadays as they used to when
was a young man. At least they don't
seem to thank me near as often as they
used to-"
Glow do you account for it ?" asked
the young man who sat at his feet i'm

a due regard for the gurreat ~purrinci-

is it because of your lack of that fascina-

worked animals and the horse used for
heavy draught. The wind-galls can be
removed for the time being, but they
invariably return when the patient is
put to active work. Bursal enlarge
ments of the hook joint, known as bog
spavins, differ from those which occur
on the fetlock joint in location only.
They are due to the same causes,
and can be temporarily removed
by similar treatment. The boosted
cures we so often hear of are performed
by men who undertake the treatment
for the sake of a big Jee without any re-
gard tor their own reputation or the in
terest of the men who employ them.
Firing and blistering is the chief rem
edy too often practiced for the so-called
cure of dog-spavin. This operation,
when performed as it should be, re-
quires the tact of a practiced expert.
The patient is laid out for months. This
necessitates q severe of professional
visits, which of course must prove very
remunerative to the doctor, but the I'M
necessary torture of the dumb brute,
and the great loss. of time, without ac-
complishing any good, is a great damage

Pruning Shade Trees.

A common error in tree pruning says
Prof. d. T.. Lantz, in the Industrialist,
is the idea that a branch which is to be
removed should be cut one or two inch
es from the trunk, leaving a stub. An
examination of these stubs two or three
years later will reveal a dead place ex-
tending deeply into the wood, and doing
permanent injury to the tree. On the
other hand, a considerable branch may
be removed from a thrifty tree, if cut
close up to the trunk, and the scar will
grow yer In a single season. After a
tree is ice started in a permanent
place it ought not to be severely
pruned. During the first season of
growth there is often a tendency to put
out new shoots along the trunk. These
must be removed, but they can be east
ly rubbed off when they first appear.
If left, there is a tendency of the part
above these shoots to die. At least,
they lack vigor and make little growth.
A common mistake in pruning is to cut
the tops out of large trees. The finest
trees are those that grow in the natural
form. Any attempt to make a dwarf of
a tree by pruning is unnatural, and
shows want of taste, hortfcultufally
speaking. Evergreens especially should
have the tops removed unless they are
grown in a hedge. The natural shape
of a tree is not that seen in a crowded
forest, but it's shape when growing free
ly in an isolated position.

Curing. Wind-Galls.

These common blemishes in other
wise sound horses can sometimes be
abated, but not always. An Illinois
veterinarian writes to the Chicago In
ter-Ocean that literally there is no cure
for wind-galls and bog spavins, for the
simple reason that the cause which
produces them cannot be permanently
removed. Some horses are no doubt
more or less predisposed to these I'M
slightly blemishes from popularity of
conformation, but the exciting, we may
say the chief cause, is due to
overstraining, from fast driving, prema-
ture training, and overlooking,
etc. The so-called wind-galls are re-
bursal engagements due to an unnatural
distension Of the synoyial sacs in the

Begin Having Early

Actual trial has shown that hay cut as
soon as the heads are fully out does not
weigh so much per acre as that cut later
on, but more of it is assimilated by the
animal eating it. The Mirror and Farm
er says that the time for cutting hay is
close at hand. Begin early-even pre-
maturely-so that your grass MAJ none
of it get overripe before being cut, for
over-ripe hay is no better than common
straw. Do not delay cutting, SO that
you may get the benefit of the growth
of bottom grass. This is an old practice
which entails the practical loss of the
first crop. 1t is better to cut the first
growth early and allow the bottom grass
to come on as a second and independent
crop,to be either cut as hay or appropria-
ted as pasture feed. 1t was years ago the
practice to begin haying on the 4th of
July, by cutting lodged places and clear
ing away round the barn. This secured
more weight and bulk of hay, but it was
at the sacrifice of nutritive material.
Now the haying is often finished early
in July-that is, the first crop is cut and
housed; and yet too much oyeripe hay
is made. 1t is often the case that the
crop is all right when the cutting begins;
but owing to delay caused by wet wealth
er and the rapid %ripening of grass in
dry, the crop gets too woody and ibrous
before the haying is over. For these
reasons we urge an early beginning in
gathering the hay crop. 1t is better to
be a little ahead than a little behind.
