ONLY A PIECE OF TICKING.

A Pretty Household Ornament That is Useful
nnd Not Expensive.
Ladies' Home Journal.1
The illustration below shows a dainty
household ornament suitable for duster or
work bag; and so pretty one would not
imagine the foundation to be what it really
is-a piece of ticking 80 inches long and II
wide. Cover each white stripe with wide
"cat-stitch," of colored embroidery silk,
using any bright assortment of light and
dark shades. Then, in the middle of the dark

Sherman Didn't Ride the FIory steeds Artists
Draw but Prosaic Mules,
Judge Joseph Cox tells a Cincinnati
paper that General Sherman said to him
once: "Cox, mule is the easiest animal
to ride in the world. I always preferred to
ride one during the war. In a picture
representing the burning of Atlanta the
artist has me seated on fiery steed, with
fury in his eyes, ETC., while the houses are
burning and the soldiers are tearing up the
railroad iron. Well, was there; but was
not on prancing horse, but was straddle
of plain, common, everyday mule"

A NEW ICE PITCHER.

Pretty and Simple Contrivance That Hends
Off the Germs Effectually.
Ladies Home Journal.1
The development of the germ theory of
disease has given a most unenvisble repu-
tation to the American ice pitcher. When
one stops to consider that ice is cut on
ponds, etc., in the nature Of things largely
impregnated with impurities, oftener than
not with sewage matter from the surround
ing district; and learns that the most dan
gerous disease germs are thus liable to be in
the water; that they are not killed by freez-
ing, and that they multiply in melted ice
with enormous rapidity, something to get rid
of them is very acceptable. And now

A LOST LOCOMOTIVE.
sIxfy.nve Tons of Steel md Iron Sink In
Forty Feet OF Mud.

At San Francisco the other day workmen
were trying to run locomotive on board the
British steamer Wellington for transfer to
the Esqulmalt and Nanaimo Railroad. The
locomotive had been landed from the cars
onto platform on the dock, and the
steamer made fast alongside the wharf, port
side to. A stout gangway was built from
the dock over which the Locomotive could
be transferred to the ship, but while it was
being lowered the tackle snapped and the
locomotive broke loose.
It tore across the deck, crashed through
the iron bulwarks on the starboard side and
fell into the bay. The locomotive weighed
65 tons, and sunk so far in the mud, which
is there about 40 ieet deep, that it could not
be found when sounded for the next day.

absolute novelty. Nottinghams made in

so that a S5 Nottingham at distance Of five

LIVELY SHOOTING sCRAPE.
Ten Shots Exchanged Between the Police
aud a CoIorad Tough.

Ten Shots Exchanged Between the Poiice
and a Colored Tough.
There wasa lively little shooting AFFAIR
down on South Water street, about half
past three o'clock yesterday afternoon,
between Officer Moran and colored
desperate named Edward Cloud, when
resulted in Cloud being shot in the
thigh, and his subsequent arrest, whiIc
both Officer Moran and Officer Donnelley
had narrow escapes from bullets iired
by Cloud.
For several days past Cloud, who
seems to be stranger, has been toting
revolverS around on the South Slde,
being seen with as many as three pistols
at once, and he has repeatedly pointed
his weapons at people and threatened
TO shoot them. Yesterday afternoon
the day force was instructed from mead
quarters 10 hunt Cloud up and put him
under arrest, as the threats or the
colored man were becoming monoto-
nous, and it was feared he would hurt
some one.
A little after three o'clock while
Officer Donnelley in uniform, and Oilicer
Moran, in citizens clothes, were patroi-
ing along Water street, near twenty
fourth. Cloud was seen. AS the two
officers approached him, Cloud pulled
out revolver and pointing it at Don
nellcy said: "Now you get out
of this, or III shoot you" As
Cloud had the drop on Donnelley, the
latter stopped, but Moran, who, being
in citizens clothes, was not suspected OF
being an officer by Cloud, went up to
the colored man, and told him he had
better put his gun in his pocket, rs the
officer did not intend to arrest him, 1t
being Moran'S idea to get Cloud TO put
away his gun, and then climb him.
| Cloud wouldn't be caught, however, ana
/ said he would shoot both OF them, add
ing that they had been following him
until he had got tired of it. Seeing they
were in for 1t, Moran drew his revolver
and began firing ut Cloud, who returned
the fire, and in this manner Cloud fired
! six shots alternately at Donnelley and
! Moran, and Moran four, two cartridges
in the officers pistol refusing to go oil.
| Cloud then retreated behind Il
freight car, where he began 10
reload his revolver, while Officer Moran
| got Officer Donnelley'S pistol, who had
come up by this time, and again at
tempted to down Cloud. Donnelley's
revolver would not go off, however, and
Moran Jumped on Cloud and the two
had a tussle, in which Donnclley took
part. Cloud attempting to shoot the Off
GERS, while they did their best to pre-
vent it. Finally Moran got hold of
Clouds pistol, but the latter got it
again. but he was knocked out by 4
blow from Donnelley's pistol, the butt
of the revolver being wrecked by COM
ing in contact with Clouds head.
This settled the fight, which attract
ed large crowd, and created lots OF en-
element, and the patrol wagon being
called, Cloud was placed in it and taken
to the City Hall. where he was locked
up.
The police are to be congratulated on
escaping without catching bullet.

The entire population was upon the
streets.
The procession halted in front of the
