machine for buttering bread. 1t is used in
connection with great patent bread-cut-
ter. and is intended for use in prisons,
workhouses and other reformatory institu-
tons. There is cylinderical-shaPad
brush which is fed with butter, and lays Q
thin layer on the bread as it comes from
the cutter. The machine can be worked
by hand, steam or electricity, and has a
capacity of cutting and buttering $50
loaves of bread an hour. The saving OF
butter and Of bread and the decrease In
the quantity of crumbs is said to be very
large.

The diamond and pearl necklace worn
on state occasions by Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbilt has excited the greatest wonder
and admiration. The striking feature OF
this necklace is the diamonds are pierced
through the center and are strung alter
nately with the pearls. 1t is said that it
required many weeks OF patient labor to
pierce each stone.

chamber. A Few moments later she has
tily descended the stairs, with hat and
shawl on, and quietly left the house"
Why did you not tell me all this be-
fore, Mr.. Henley?" asked Mrs. Vernon,
somewhat severely.
1t was my impression that her hus-
band had priv ately sentfor her, answered
der the circumstances, 1t vas hest to keep
gu ct. 1 see now 1 was in error"
A persistent enemy is working against
u.s. exclaimed Eugene, bitterly. Not a
moment is to be lost. She must be found
at once, or it will be too Iate!"
He had singular premonition that
some one, ne knew not who, was cOnspir-
ing against his happiness; and he re-
called for second a strange scene Of a
few days ago.
What mean you?" demanded Mildred
aunt, in a terrified voice.
Il mean, answered the unhappy bride
groom, that the note which took me
away from here half an hour since was a
base and cruel forgery, and it was done
in order to get me out of the way, so that
my wife might be enticed from this
house. Let me go to her room for a mo-
ment. And, taking three steps at a time.
he bounded up the staircase.
On reaching AIldred's room, he looked
eagerly about the floor. No note was
there. Mildred had found it-he was
satisfied of that nOW-and he shud-
dered to think what the result might be.
He sank heavily into chair. He was
almost discouraged. He could hardly
control his thoughts for a moment.
At length the image of his young and
brOken-hearted wife, wandering about the
almost deserted streets in the darkness of
the night rose up before him, and he
started to his feet with the fixed purpose
of finding her.
Where could she have gone?
He had hardly framed the question in
his mind when the answer was suggest
ed to him:
why, to Metals, TO be sure. And once
more he rushed down the stairway.
The guests had been gradually dropping
of. They had seen that their presence
was becoming embarrassing, and so had
the good sense to retire.
Now few only remained
I think know where she has gone,
Mrs. Vernon, Eugene said, eagerly, and

right. 1 shall be back very soon; so, if
she should return in my absence, please
keep her here. Tell her not to leave the
house again on any account.
You may be sure shall do So" said
the lady, emphatically.
Have you a carriage, Mr.. Cleveland"
asked Mr.. Henley who was one OF the
few remaining, now stepping forward.
I have not, answered Eugene. Il dis
missed the one L had at the door"
Then take mine, by all means. Tt is
waiting without"
A thousand thanks. I will gladly
avail myself of your kind permission"
do so; and if I can be of the slightest
Service"
mo, no; think not; and yet, nv mind
is in such a whirl, I ought to have some
one with me; and you, being cooler,
might be able to give me a word of advice
when most need it. Yes, if you are
willing, I shall be glad to have your
company"
Then come" and the two left the house
together.

A USEFUL attribute Of paper not gen
orally known is for preserving ice in a
pitcher of water. Fill the pitcher with
ice and water and set it on the center
of a piece of paper; then gather the
paper up together at the top and place
the ends tightly together, placing q
strong rubber band around the coil to
hold it close so as to exclude the air A
pitcher of ice water treated in this
manner has been known to stand over
night with scarcely aperceptible melt
ing of the ice.

SEVERAL years ago, says the ZINE
yardist, the growing Of broom corn in
California was advocated strongly, but
those who tried it stated that, Califor-
MIA lands being extremely rich, the
product was too coarse for use in the
manufacture of fine quality brpoms F.;
but last season it was demonstrated
that there were sections of the State in
which a fine quality of broom corn
could be grown. Acting upon this, a
Los Angeles manufacturer has con
tracted with a Chino ranch resident for
the product of forty acres. It is safe to
say that after this year no more broom
corn viii be imported into California
for use in our local manufactures.

ATParkersburg. W. Va, a contractor
took part in a frolic that ended in a
fight, all hands being drunk, and a man
undertook to assault him with a Ratchet.
He rushed to a third-story window, and
suspending himself by his hands from
the sill, would have dropped to the
street, and no doubt been crushed to
death, but for the fact that his feet
were caught on the top of the sash in
the second story and gave way Just as
he let go his hold on the sill. He sank
with the window and his feet slipped
inward, carrying him into the room be
low, and allowing him to escape
unhurt.

TIE Russian peasants have a peculiar
cure for collie; it is called the pot cure,
and in its nature it is a hideous amp1i-
fication of the operation of cupping.
The patient is stretched on a bench
and his abdomen is washed with hot
water and then covered with soap-suds
While this is being done thin slices of
birch bark are set on fire and put into
an empty pot. When the vessel be-
comes so hot that it can hardly be
touched with the bare hand, the burn
ing bark is quickly thrown out, and the
pot placed mouth downward on the alb
dOmen of the patient. One woman
holds the vessel steady, while another
one kneads the body of the sufferer, SO
as to press it into the pot which was
emptied OF air by the burning bark.
An old peasant, on whom such an oper-
alton had been performed, declared that
he would not submit to it again. His
COLES were somewhat lighter. but he
would rather endure them than the tor
ture Of the %pot cure"

The French fishermen are troubled
by the depredatiOns of porpoises, for
which they have not succeeded in find
ing a remedy. An attempt was made
to catch them in seine nets, but they
jumped out of the shares. They were
scared away by guns and torpedoes,
but the fish were frightened and dis
appeared with them. They are too
numerous to be shot one by one in an
effective manner. The only thing to
be done seems to be for the fishermen
to unite and drive them away in
crowds; but this will have to be often
repeated. Insurance and payment of
damages by the government are the
last measures of relief suggested; but
they, too, are expensive to somebody.

DURING the Franco German war the
ladies in England were busy making
paper cushions which they sent to
France to be used for the wounded in
the hospitals. Hundreds of thousands
of these cushions were sent and were
of great service. Now all England is
crazy on the subject of paper pillows
again. They tear the paper into very
small pieces, not bigger than ones
finger nail, and then put them into a
pi1low-sack Of drilling or light ticking.
They are very cool for hot climates and
much superior to feather pillows. News
paper is not nice to use, as there is a
disagreeabIe odor from printers ink !;
but brown or white paper, and old let
tiers and envelopes are the best. As
they are torn stuff them into an old
pilIow-case, and you can see when you
have enough. The easiest way is to
tear or cut the paper IN strips about
half an inch wide, and then tear or cut
it across. The finer it is, the lighter it
makes the pillows.

ONE seldom sees, even in the most
squaIid parts of New York, a ragged
school child. The little people east
and west are clad in neat, whole gar
ments, and most Of them look well
fed and in good health. Do ethe chill
dren of the abjectly poor then not go
to school? Yes and no. One who Wis
its the poorest flats will find the chill
dren often better dressed than their
elders. So long as a family is able to
struggle along and keep out of actual
pauperism it is a point of pride that
the children be sent to school in whole,
clean garments. When the family for
tunes become so low that the children
can no longer be decently clad the lit
tie folks stay at home. Charity physi-
clans sometimes find the children of
the poor neatly dressed and attending
school 1t usually happens, however,
that such families are not of the perma-
nently pauper sort. Of that sort the
children seldom attend school.

CHARLIE Julian, of Macon, Ca, has
just received from Captain F. A. Her
vey a relic Of war times worthy of pre-
servation. During the terrible battle
of Chickamauga, cannon balls swept
through ranks of soldiers and severed
limbs from the large trees on the hills
and in the valleys. A few days ago
some wood-cutters cut down a large
pine. In one Of the top limbs a small
cannon-bau had been imbedded. The
limb was cut from the tree and pre-
scented to Captain HerVey, and in turn
sent to his son-in-Iaw, Charlie Julian.
The limb has been nicely trimmed and
painted, the ball being half exposed.
