IL Is nothing more or less than the
hgure OF General made Of gingerbread
when Clavette buys every year at the
Place du Trone. When he gets home
he hangs his purchase on nail. You
know the effect of the atmosphere on
gingerbread. The slightest moisture
renders it soft; in dry weather, on the
contrary, it grows hard and tough.
Every morning on going out Clavette
asks his servant:
what does the General say?" -
Inc man forthwith applies his thumb
to the figure and replies: -,-.~

chest; you'd better take your umbrella. ="

only one way to cure Deafness, and that is

caused by an inflaned condition of the mu-

this tube gets infianed you have rumblng

Why Thunder Sours Milk.

You have often asked or been asked:
why does thunder sour sweet milk?''
Milk is peculiar, inasmuch as it is very
sensitive to atmospheric changes. Elec-
triclty, the cause of thunder, produces.
or, II 1t does not produce, follows great
and rapid changes in atmospheric condi-
tons. Lightning is the discharge which
comes Of electrical inequalities, produc-
ing chemical changes in the air. Thun-
der-storms represent the greatest &C.
tivity Of electrical phenomenon, and
the best authorities give it as their
opinion that the electricity in the at,

A good pair of pruning shears which
will operate with readiness and ease is
an important tool to the gardener who
keeps trees and shrubbery within
proper bounds, but badly constructed
they are not so convenient and useful
as the single-bladed knife. We have
seen those that were of very little
value, requiring hard pressure of the
hand to cut off small twig; and again
we have had the satisfaction to work
with those which with little effort
sheared off a green limb over an inch in
diameter. All the difference existed in
the form or construction. When the
two blades of the shears meet square
together like common pair of scissors,
they will not prune of large shoot;

The tickets were only a dime each. and
nearly three hundred of the boys friends

THE WOMAN wFINANCIER.
Atlantic City's skillful Operator
Speaks in Her Own Defence.

Mrs. Julia Lippincott, the Atlantic
City financier and forger, has been
heard from. She is, according to her
own story, an innocent, wronged and
indignant woman. This indignation
is occasioned by two of the minor
charges against her, and she expressed
it in a letter received yesterday by her
counsel, Messrs. Arundel and Moon.
One is the charge of forgery brought
by Freedom G. Lippincott, of Cam
den. In referring to this charge she
writes her lawyers:-"I feel that l
must attempt some justification of
myself. Its q maliciousf alsehood. The
note in question was drawn by James
A. Somers himself as accommodation
paper and sold TO f. c. Lippincott, of
New Jersey, and as far as l am con-
cerned his name was not upon IN
note unless he placed it there before
having it discounted.
In referring to the published state
ment that she had recently attempted
to have worthless paper discounted at
the M~oorestown Bank, she writes: Il

Bank, nor in any way connected

Messrs. Arundel and Moore said yes
terday that they believed that many
other of the reports that have been in
circulation as to the extent and man
ner of the so-called forgeries are with
out any foundation in fact, and that
Mrs. Lippincott will yet face the
charges. They declare that there is
another side to the story, which, when
understood by the public, will place
her in a very different light than that
in which she stands at present.
Where Mrs. Lippincott had written
from, her counsel naturally declined
to saw.

a Crowd of People.
A serious collision between two vehicles
occurred at the corner of Grove and Grand

double truck. He ran the pole of his
wagon under the axle of a cart which was
IN front of him, upsetting the cart and
throwing the driver, a boy. Henry Samp-
son, to the street. Baker, who appeared
TO be drunk, then whipped up his horses
and dashed down Grove street to Newark
avenue at q break-Deck speed, followed
by fully one hundred persons.
Two policemen joined in the chase and
Baker was caught at the corner of Greene
street n brought to the First Precinct
