The Cow visits the Parlor.

The family of Mrs. Mary cartwright,
who resides on Plover street, Omaha,
were much surprised few evenings ago
by the appearance in their parlor of an
unexpected guest. This was their Dur
ham COW, Mollie, that escaping from
her pen deliberately walked up the low
steps leading to the porch, thence into
the hall, through which she marched IN,
til she reached the parlor door. Thi;
she entered with an inquiring moo, and
advanced into the room, while the fam
lily sat watching her, afraid to move LEST
they startle and cause her to do some
damage. But after quiet inspection
of the apartment the incongruity of hel
presence there seemed to strike her, and
turning about as quietly walked ou

Ups and Downs in the Yeast Market.


Yeast is naturallya most unstable sort
of commodity, but its main characteristic
is that upon the very slightest provoca-
ton it Will rise. During the past week,
however, it contradicted its usual meth
DDS and shrunk in most amazing way.
Saturday last it sold for 20 cents q
pound. Monday it was selling tor 8
cents pound, and yesterday the price
rose again to 20 cents.
Investigation into the causes of this
extraordinary huctuation in price reveals
the existence of a hide bound, copper
bottorned, double riveted trust which
absolutely controls the price of yeast,
and holds it at figure which pays the
members of the trust handsome profit.
A pound of yeast cut into squares and
wrapped In, tin foil will make forty
cakes, which are sold by the manufact-
urers at cent each, and retailed for 2.
The consumer of this yeast then pays so
cents per pound The profit is 6S cents,
of which the retailer makes 10 and the
manufacturer 28 cents. Compressed
yeast is made from Whistles, vinegars,
and slow wines" and could be retailed
at Is cents pound, with fair margin
of profit for manufacturer and retailer

Treasures in the Passaio River.

A few days ago "Bert" Lyons and
dozen other boys were diving in about
Aen feet of water in the Passaic river
near Belleville, N. j., in rivalry as to
which of them should bring up the most
shells from the muddy bottom. When
it was young Lyons turn to plunge he
remained SO long under the water that
his companions began to fear that he
had gone down to stay, or else was gath
ering 80 many shells that the contest
would be virtually over when he reap
peared. He came up at last, however,
without any shells, but holding slOft tri-
umphantly, for the contemplation Of his
snvious friends, a solid silver double
case Waltham watch and chain that he
had fshed out Of the depths. The watch
had stopped at 7:so o'clock, but the
proud finder has ascertGinsd that it will
nsrrily resume work when the water
has been pumped out Of it and its in
ternal organization has been soaked for
ten days in oil.-New York Tribune.

A Good Hot Weather Diet.

Here is a good hot weather diet pre-
scribed by $25 q visit doctor of Sara
toga: Fish, clear soups, sea food, eggs,
brown breads day old, fresh milk,
green peas, lettuce and tomatoes in pref
erence to all other vegetables, ripe mel
ons and fresh berries, rice buildings,
lemonade and iced tea in preference to
ice cups, and half the usual quantity OF
coffee. He advises contempt for butter,
dumplings, pie, roasts, cabbage, pota-
toes, hot bread and animal foods as too
heating for the blood. He also prescribes
n two hour siesta after dining, as little
exposure to the sun as possible and a
glass of ale or porter at night for people
who do not rest well. Hot baths he con-
siders better than the cold plunge for
cooling purposes, to be taken an hoHr
before eating or three hours after.
Violence is done to perfect health by
indiscriminate use of mineral water, es-
pecially mixing them, and prolonged
stay in the surf. Only an ignoramus
will drink from two different mineral
springs and only the foolishly athletic
oyerexert themselves. The leunger and
summer tourist will get the best rest or
his back either in a hammock, steamer
chair or bed. Unless the system is regu'
lated nothing will improve it, and there Ii
no better way to keep the portals open and
stimulate perspiration than by frequent
use of water applied internally and e1
ternally. It's hardly possible to drink tor
much good, clean cool water, and habit
ual sponging will remove the excretioni
from the body which facilitate tn,
growth of germs that are as fidgety ant
numerous as the dust particles in the al

Practical Joker. Punished.

Police Justice White, Of New York,
has just taught two practical jokers a
lesson-fning each $40. While painting
a building in Mott street as a bit of
pleasantly they spattered paint over
every Italian man, woman, or child
whose head appeared in any Of the win
dows below. This amusement grew too
mild, and when Miss Mucchi appeared
in the next yard one of them dropped the
entire contents of paint pot on her head.
Miss Mucchi had dark hair and her
friends were SO shocked at her changed
appearance that they had the painters
arrested. Philadelphia Ledger.

was to connect two points by series

length of the arc of meridian inter.

with the difference of ATTITUDES found
by making celestial observations. The
stations used were Melvoisine, in the

were being made discussion arose az

DID IT SERVE HER RIGHT!

A Fashionable Woman Driven to Flight
by Juvenile Inquisitiveness.
Her hat was regular sumner and no
mistake. 1t looked something like a
miniature tropical garden, but nature
never produced anything half so gor-
geous. \ couple of artificial butterflies,
whose wings presented a dazzling as
sortment of colors, were poised upon
invisible wires over two imitation Or
chids. They were obviously designed
to supply the browning touch of realism.
When she entered the Il" cor she knew
that that hat would create sensation.
There were plenty of vacant seats
around, but she walked nearly the
whole length of the car before taking
one, and 'zhen she sat down it was with
the proud consciousness that all eyes
were fixed upon her-or rather upon
her hat.
But nobody stared at that hat half
as hard as a bright, chubby little
youngster, who was sitting alongside
of his mother, right opposite the owner
of the triumph of millinery.
t'Oh, mamma, mammal" exclaimed
the little fellow gleefulIy, II see two
butterflies on that lady's hat"
"Hush. hush, Willie" said the moth
er; "you mustn't make remarks"
But Willie was at that age when the
mind refuses to be satisfied with dog
matte assertions and demands reasons
''Why must hush! Will the butter
flies hear me and fly away"
The people in Willie's immediate
vicinity began to smoker, and the pro
prietor of the hat began to look uneom
Portable.
'sWiIlie, you must be quiet" said thu
mother, and then, with che view OF al
laying his curiosity, she added, 'th'
butterflies amt alive"
did she stick pins through them anE
kill them!"
'sHush-no; they are made up but
terhies."
Willie meditated upon this for min
ute. and then, to the iI6ense delight o
everybody within earshot. excepting, o
course. his mothes and the proprieto
of the wondro.,S hat, he broke GU
afresh.
'sDid YOU ever see any live butterfiie
like those butterflies, mamma? neye
did"
'Do be quiet; don't ask foolish que:
tons"
But Willie was not to be suppresse
In that fashion.
Mamma, why is it that other ladie
} don't put butterflies in their hats"
az don't know. Do be quiet"
Mamma, if you put butterflies o
your hat would you put butterflies o
, your hat like that?''
By this time the smoker had deve
I oped into an audible litter, and threa
ened to become downright laug
soon.
The conductor suddenly opened tt
door and shouted out something the
sounded like ''Drenthenth street"
: Whatever the street might be
seemed suddenly to occur to the pr
[ prietor of the hat that it was the stree
she wanted, and she rushed precipitatel
r out of the car, her undignified exit col
trasting strangely with her stately e.

Vermont, he said, "who came up to

goods from my house. He bought
about $500 worth of oolongs, young

the goods were being put up under

and in the course of our wanderings we
came to a speaking tube. This was a
marvel to Mr.. Vermonter, and had to
explain to him how it was we could
speak from the sixth floor, on which
we were at the time, to a man on the
first floor. To illustrate my words l
called up our shipping clerk and asked
him:
''Have you put up those goods for
Mr.. Vermonter, 2" and with this slipped
from the tube and put it to the ear OF
my customer. The result was not what

Banker Won Kendler's Trial
Herr Alfred Won Render, whose trial
for fraud has commenced before Vienna
jury, was the head of an old banking
house founded in 1870, which failed in
November last with liabilities amounting
to upward of 100000 forms. The
prisoner, who was arrested a week after
this event, is charged with appropriating
to his own use deposits of private per,
sons or firms amounting to nearly 2,OOO,'
600 forms. 1t appears that the accused
who was of extravagant habits, began to
tamper with the deposits in 1881. Among
the persons defrauded is the head waiter
1T the hotel where Kendler used to dine
snd who had given up the whole of hi
savings, amounting to over q, 900 fiorins
The accused, who is man of go years O
age, when asked by the president of thu
court whether he pleaded guilty, an
swered that the facts stated in the indict
ment were, generally speaking, correct
but that, as he firmly believed and hoped
he would be able to replace the borrowed
money, he did not feel guilty. The tria
