She Was Glad.

New Englanders are given to saying that
they have no need to travel to get u change
of climate, and the same seems to be true
of dwellers in some other places as well.
Oldmammy lived in North Carolina, very
near the line. When the boundary between
that state and Virginia was changed she
was told that now she lived in Virginia.
"Well," she answered, II am powerful
glad. I always heard that Virginy was a
healthier state than North Car'lina."-

Poison In Water.

Aphysician expresses the opinion that in
many cases of ervou debility, which nave
been Inscribed to overwork, insufficient
n~ourishment, etc., the real cause may have
been lead in the drinking water. Among
the symptoms of lead poisoning are anae-
mia-deficiency of blood-a dull hue of the
skin, digestive arrangements, Il coated
tongue, fetid breath, nausea, collie and par
tial paralysis. Water should never be
drunk in the morning without first having

when 1 was alloy and lived on the Sawkill.
The birds were caught with II net, hun.

kill them. Part of my work was to bring
the game to Kingston and sell it. The go
ing price was twenty-five cents u dozen,
and glad l was to get yer that. Often the
pigeon market would be overstocked. Some
seasons SO many were caught that We were
forced to keep them in coops for a time.

Tariff Bill Reported.

WASHINGTON, June ia full meet
ing of the senate finance committee was
held to-day, at which Chairman Morrill,
was authorized by a strict party vote to
report the tariff bill with amendments,
and it was so reported andrplsoed on the
calendar. A member Of the COMMITTEES
says that with the exception Of the wool
and agricultural schedules, the bill is al
most identically the same as the bill Of
the finance committee reported in 1888,
No formal report accompanied the bill,
nor is IL certain that any will be pre-
pared. A statement will be reported to
the senate as soon as it can be prepared,
showing the effect Of the provisions Of
the bill upon the receipts Of customs, as
compared with the receipts under the
present law, and those estimated under
the house bill. Il is understanding
that debate on the bill will not begin I'M
ill about July i, in. order that ample time
may be given for q study of the bill. A
member Of the finance committee says
the democrats intimated that II an OPP
portunity we're given in advance to study
the schedules, the debate would be ma
terially curtailed. meprincipal changes
made BY the committee were in earthen-
ware. metal, agricultural, flax, hemp and

\ direful accident to six men on a hand
car near East Helena a short time ago was
only averted by the intelligence of a dog.
A large Newfoundland dog was in the
habit of following the men on their daily
trip down the road, and like all dogs it
was ambitious to keep up with its masters.
One evening when the men were returning
from work the dog took the lead, and there
was a spirited race. The animal was only
a short distance ahead, and instead of leav-
ing the track and falling in the rear kept
going at a great speed.
The men never thought of danger till
the car rounded a curve and came sudden
ly upon Il long ~trestle, with the dog no
more than twenty feet ahead. He did not
realize the danger until he came to the
~trestle. The men were horror stricken
and expected to be thrown from the track
and perhaps killed. The intelligent dog
knew the danger instantly. 1t fiattened
itself between the ties, and the car passed
safely over without ruffling a hair. 1t was
the most remarkable piece of intelligence
ever exhibited by dumb animal. 1t could
not go forward; to stand still was death to
the dog as well as men. 1t was too late to
jump, so the intelligent animal crouched
and saved its own life as well as the men
on the car.-Helena Independent.

Geo. Eads, father of the colored boy
Willie Eads whose mangled body
was found on the Southern Pacific
railway track last week, wa arrested
last night on a little farm two miles
south of st. Hedwig, which he is
renting, and was brought TO this city
on a charge of murder. His son,
James, was arrested today also
charged with the murder. 1t is now
thought strong evidence a be pro-
duced to show that the father and
the surviving son killed the now
dead boy simply to be rid of him, and
that the mother knows something
about it, and it was the mothers
conscience and maternal love that in
duced the officers to take the first
hint of wrong doing in the matter.

Scales That Will Weigh a Hair.

The finest thing in the way of delicately
adjusted scales of which 1 have heard has
been turned out by a Philadelphia firm for
the mint at New Orleans, and they are GER
tainly marvels of mechanical invention
and expert workmanship. There are two
pairs. The larger has a capacity of 10000
ounces troy, or about 7S5 pounds avoirdu-
pois, and when loaded to its full capacity
will indicate the variation of one-thou-
sandth of an inch. The other pair is in
tended for lighter work. All its bearings
are of agate. This instrument is believed
to be the most delicate in the world. 1t
will give the precise weight of a human
hair and is susceptible to the slightest at
mospheric change. A signature written
on a card with an ordinary pencil will
make a perceptible difference in the weight
of the ard.-Interview with st. Louis Scale

The Best Coral Grounds.

The best coral grounds, yielding the most
and best red coral, are still those on the
Algerian coast, fished for that purpose
from the middle of the Sixteenth century,
the others being the coasts of Sicily, Cor
sica, Sardinia, Spain, the Balearic isles and
Provence. Over 500 Italian boats manned
by 1900 men are employed in the coral
fishery. In Italy are sixty coral work
shops, of which forty are in Tore del

mostly women and children.-Chatter.
