A Cool Robbery.

John Harris. while beating his way
from Sacramento to San Francisco, was
put off the line at Gait. There he was
commanded by a young man who dis
played a star to accompany him to the
Jail. The "officer" searched the prisoner
and took about $50 and left him standing
alone while he went after the keys to
the jail. Harris stood fifteen minutes
waiting to be locked up and then it
dawned upon him that the "officer" had
taken the train from which he had just
been elected.

Mechanical Helps Needed In the Kitchen.
Where would be the enterprise and
prosperity OF the agricultural masses but
for the farmers wives and daughters
Where the productive farms, the bounti-
full harvests. the tasteful homes, but for
the toIlers whose worlds are limited to
the sacred confines of the farmers homes?
Labor-saving machines somehow find
their way into the field and barn, but
how few are ever seen In the kitchen
Convenlences to save the farmer time
and trouble are, from time to time,
thought OF and introduced, but the
women OF the family must do the best
they can, plodding on the same old way,
and are expected never TO get tired, run
down or wear out from the continual
strain ON nerve and muscle. Not that
farmers are more neglectful of their
families than other men, but that house,
work on the farm is OF all work Che
hardest on women. And from some
cause attention has never been directed
TO methods OF saving them from it's hard
ships. This injustice, for what else can
we call 1t ? produces not only broken
down, prematurely old class OF women,
but 1t causes a discomfort which has
doubtless marred the peace OF many a
home. The ceaseless work may become
task from which death may sometimes
seem a happy release. The sacred walls
OF home may appear as prison house
to the chafed, fretful spirit which vainly
longs for some relaxation and rest. The
farmers noble occupation Is brought into
disranuta with these Sufferers who never
think of any possibility of relief except
to sell the farm, rent or leave it to weeds
and briars and go into some other busi-
ness. Hence we often see deserted, neg
! lected farms, while the towns and cities
are overlooking with their surplus unem-
ployed.-Miss s. L. Powell before the
Missouri state board of agriculture.

YELLOW FEVER.

Arrival OF an Infected Ship at the Port
Of Baltimore-Three of Her Crew Die
of the Dread Disoase--The Vessel
Quarantined.
BALTIMORE, April 5.-Quite a commo-
tion was caused among shipping men
yesterday by the report that the Amer
lean ship McCullum, Captain O'Brien,
from Rio, was detained at quarantine
with yellow fever aboard. The rumor
gained good deal Of credence because
1t could not be verified, the Health De-
partment being closed. Captain O'I,rien
was not allowed to come to the city by
order of DR.. Heiskell, who is
in charge Of quarantine. 1t was
definitely learned later that three Of
the sailors had died on the passage, tho
first of yellow fever on February 10, the
other two on February 81 and on March
2, respectively. Captain O'Brien said
the latter two did not die of yellow fever,
and that there was no epidemic on his
ship. The man who died contracted
yellow fever while the ship lay at an
chor at Rio. All were buried at sea.
DIR. Heiskell quarantined the ship.

Test Il Your Itself.

The ladies of our city are just now
evincing deep interest regarding the
purity of the baking powder they are
using. The following simple test can be
made by any one in few moments, and
this most important question settled.
We advise every housekeeper to give it
a trial:
Mix in tin cup, or other small suita-
BILE vessel, one heaping teaspoonful OF
the powder with one teaspooniul'of
water, or little more water il required
to wet the powder to the consistency Of
paste. Place it over hot fire, stir to
prevent burning, and let it boil rapidly
for few moments. At intervals lift
the cup from the fire, and smell, and
and notice whether you detect the odor
of AMMONIA in the steam that rises.
Pure baking powder will not give the
faintest ordor OF ammonia.

BOMBS AT GATSCHINA.
Explosives Found IN the Czars
Palace Grounds There.
Decoy Train Wrecked, Proving the Exist
ence Of q Plot.

ST.. PETERsBURa, April s.-The police
at Gatschina have discovered explosives
on the grounds of the Imperial palace.
The Imperial family has in consequence
renounced the idea Of going there to fin-
ish Lent The Gear for two days has suf-
cred from relapse Of influenza, which
has compelled him to postpone audiences.
His condition is not serious. Among
the students arrested are Prince Via
zemsky and son Of Nabokoff, former
Minister Of Justice. The Gar has aban-
doned his proposed hunting trip in Po-
land on account Of plot to throw the
Imperial train of the track. This was
discovered by the fact that decoy
train, supposed to contain the Gar and
suite, was wrecked by rocks placed on
the rails. The peasants Of Riazan, in
censed ut the continued fogging and
outrages perpetrated by the district
chief, Mordvinof, retaliated by thrash
ing Mordvinoff severely and stoning the
police. The Gar was deeply pained on
hearing the news.

RATS.

Thcy Save Millions of Dollars Worth of

New YORK, April 5.-The water which
has flooded the New York end of the
Hudson River Tunnel since last Sunday
was rapidly pumped out yesterday.
Since Monday every means that could
be thought of have been employed to
stop the leaks. Two divers descended,
and after spending considerable time
gave up the search. They succeeded how
ever, in closing one of the doors. Then
Engineer Moore used q novel method Of
finding the leaks. He secured o num-
Der Of water rats yesterday, tied long
pieces Of oakum to their tails caught in
the middle by piece of wire. The rats
were then forced into the caisson
through the air-pumps. The rats. fol-
lowing the current of air, found the leaks,
and passing through the creviccs, left
the oakum behind. This stopped the
ingress of air sufficiently to enable the
pumping to proceed with success.
