In the Revue GHygiene, NJ. Bourri-
err, inspector of meat for the city OF
Paris, describes his experience with
meat impregnated with tobacco smoke.
Some thin slices Of beef were exposed
for q considerable time to the fumes OF
tobacco, and afterward offered to a dog
which had been deprived of food for
twelve hours. The dog, after smelling
the meat, refused to eaC it. Some OF
the meat was then cut into small pieces
and concealed within bread. This the
dog ate with avidity, but in twenty
minutes commenced to display the
most distressing symptoms and o
died in great agony. All sorts Of
meat, both raw and cooked, some
grilled, roasted and broiled, were ex-
posed to tobacco smoke and then given
to animals, in all cases producing
symptoms of acute poisoning, Even
the process of boiling could not extract
from the meat the nicotine poison.

The forces OF nature were utilized
in O remarkable manner at the West
Hartford, Conn.,, reservoirs, and n good
deal of money was saved to the city
thereby. The new reservoir, No. 5,
was drawn down last summer in order
to be cleaned out. The job had not
been finished when cold weather came
on, about one-third of the bottom still
being untouched. The water vas shut
out, but q small quantity of rain and
melted snow soon covered the bottom
with several inches of water, This
froze solid over the muck which cover
ed the uncleaned portion of the reser'
yoir bed. Later on the gate was
opened and the reservoir allowed to
fill with water. AS the water rose the
layer of ice on the bottom rose also.
bringing with it the mass of muck on
which it lay and TO which it was firmly
attached. This operation was per
formed gradually, and the ice kept
growing thicker. At length the water
rose to its full height, and then the ice
with its burden of muck was hauled
ashore, where it now lies. The bottom
Of the re %servoir was perfectly cleaned,
and the work thus easily done would
have kept a large gang of men at work
Tor Q considerable period.

WASH FABRICS FOR SUMMER WEAR.

WASH rhnNANo y" O" ~
There Is no material that makes a nicer
garment or gown for the summer than
gingham-nothing prettier, in fact, fot
warm weather or summer wardrobes,
where quantity is more sought after than
quality. Plenty of wash dresses, no
matter how inexpensive they may be,
are really desirable and essential to the
comfort OF every one. A woman always
looks well in a neat fitting calico or ging-
ham dress, with the natty little frills with
which they so well know how to adorn
themselves; there is an air of cheeriness
about such a dress that is really captiva-
ting and always excites our admiration.

Never was lace so much used as at
present. There are lace Berthas, lace
basques, lace tabiers, lace f~lounces, lace
drapery, lace blouses, together with
ruches, paniers, knots, jabots. twists,
slashcs, %rufles, headings and trimmings
of black or of white lace. But in striv-
ing for these deliciously vaporous effects
in lace you should be very careful to
secure perfect harmony between your
coloring and the tone of your material.
Soft blues, straw pink and pale green
often go charmingly with dark eyes,
while deep tones harmonic better with
pale-blonde coloring.-New York World.

SUPPLIES FOR THE INSURGENTS.
Munitions of War Shipped from Sar

Munitions of War Shipped from San
Francisco in Bales Of Hay.
SAN Francisco, July 2S.-The Chroni-
Gle states that Notwithstanding the
misadventure which overlook the cargo
of the schooner Robert and Minnie
which transferred arms and ammuni-
tion to the Chilean vessel Itata, large
quantities OF munitions of war are being
shipped to the insurgents from this
port. These shipments, it is claimed,
are being made in bales of hay, which
have formed large portion OF the car
goes OF vessels leaving hfre for the
western coast of South America. The
Montserre, the Remus, the
Hounslow, the Willamette and
the West India are some of the yes.
sells which loaded hay, in addition to
other commodities, and the cargoes of
the last three vessels which cleared from
here since July Sth, aggregated over
1000 bales.
The local agents Of manufacturers of
arms and ammunition acknowledge that
large sales of rifles and cartridges have
been made during the past few months,
but decline to name the purchasers. The
parties engaged in the business of baline
hay have stated that the bales contained
articles of more value to the insurgents
than hay.
The Chronicle adds that grain sacks
are reported to have been shipped, filled
with arms, while cases of supposed
canned goods, contained powder and
shot.

Jewish Emigrants Relate the Cause of
Their Coming to America.
BosroN, July 2S.-Russian Jews who
came here on the steamer Kansas and
are detained at this port by the regula-
tions of the immigration law, told in an
interview through an interpreter, yes
terday, the persecution which drove
them from Russia. The crowning piece
was the burning of their hamlet which
is thus described 1t was little farm
ing settlement near Veile, containing
eighteen houses, with barns and out
buildings. On July 18th, about mid
night, q dozen or SO Russians from the
set FIRE to the whole settlement. Four
and twenty more were fearfully
burned. The Jews armed them
selves with stones and sticks
and gave chase. The Russisns were
thoroughly surprised at this, because
they were accustomed to have their own
way with these people. A young man
whose mother had been cruelty burned
took q crOwbar and attacked three of the
Russians. He killed two OF them in
stantly, and struck the third one such a
blow that he died in an hour. All the
time the Russians were rushing wildly
about, shouting, "Kill the Jews! Kill
the Jews!" In the midst of this turmoil
officers from Viele, attracted by the
blaze, came into the settlement and ar
rested the young man who had killed
three Russians, and also captured other
Jews. These were tried July Goth, and
will probably be sent to Siberia.

THE LONG AGONY ENDED.
A VERDICT RETURNED IN THE ELL
LOTT MURDER TRIAL.
The Defendant Found Guilty in the Sec-
ond Degree, Which Means Imprison-
ment for Life-Sensations in Court
During the Reading of the Verdict.

COLUMBUS. O., July 28.-William J.
Elliott, former proprietor and editor of
the Sunday Capital, who, with his
brother, P. J. Elliott, killed Albert G.
Osborn, reporter of the Sunday World,
and w. L.. Hughes, bystander, be-
sides wounding number of people dur
ing shooting affray on High street on
the afternoon of February 23d last, was
convicted of murder this morning in the
second degree. The trial had been in
progress since May 11th. The crime was
the direct result OF personal journalism.
When the clerk began to read the
verdict there was highly sensational
murder in the first degree" Mrs. P. j..
was found guilty of murder in the first
fell back into chair. As the clerk
reached the words ''guilty of murder in
the second degree,' Miss Maroney
back in fainting fit. Mrs. w. j.
Elliott was very pale, but made no
demonstration. W. j. Elliott had his
youngest boy in his lap when the ver-
dict was being read. He covered the
child's eyes and mouth go that he could
not see or make an outcry.
As the verdict of the jury was read,
Elliott became SO enraged that he pulled
the G. A. r. button from the lapel OF
bis coat and threw it spitefully in the
direction of the jury. Elliott's wife and
children escorted him to Jail, where
fearful scene was enacted
The comments of the crowd were vari-
GUS, the general sense being one of gem
eral relief that the long agony was over.
Only few expressed dissatisfaction
when the tenor of the verdict became
known.
By the laws of Ohio, murder in the
second degree is punishable by life i'm
prisonment, the count having no alter
native in the matter. Notice of mo-
ton for new trial was made, and go
sentence was not passed. The court
fixed next Saturday as the time for hear
ing arguments on the motion for new
trial

ARABIAN HORSES.
Their characteristics Compared with
Those of American Trotters.

Their characteristics Compared with
Those of American Trotters.
There are hundreds of horses called
Arab in America which have no right to
the name. Almost every spotted horse
or "calico" horse is said to be more or
less Arab, while it is stated as positive
fact by no less an authority than John
H. Wallace that an Arab may be of any
color in the world but spotted. NoArab
is calico in color. 1t is an exceedingly
difficult thing to get pure bred Arab
The Bedouin chief will not sell one at
any price, and the only ones procured
are secured by raids on the tribes of the
Euphrates valley.
Z In the whole United States there are
only three strictly pure bred Arabian
horses. Two of these are the stations
Leopard and Linden Tree, which were
presented to General Grant by the sui
tan of Turkey, and mare called Naomi,
which has been imported from England.
Of the two Grant stations Leopard is
not at all prepotent horse and is a get
ter of few foals, and Linden Tree is the
possessor of one of the ugliest tempers of
any living horse. He is said to be fiend
incarnate, though his colts are gentle
and kind enough when properly treated.
1t is a popularity of the Arabs that if
used kindly and treated with considera-
ton they are gentle and lovable.
"To one that has gained the confidence
of an Arab horse there is the pleasure of
knowing that he associates with brute
endowed with SOUL" Abuse one of
them, and you have aroused devil that
can never be subdued, for of their cour-
age there is no limit, and they will re-
sist abuse while they have life. General
Grants stallion Linden Tree is said II
have been made vicious because the MAI
in charge Of him did not gain his conf
dence and abused him.
There is a great deal of foolish senti
ment existing about the Arab horse,
however. He has many good qualities,
is highly intelligent, quick to learn, has
rare beauty of form and rich quality, ie
for saddle purposes beautifully gated
quick and active in his movements, anc
of much endurance; but when compared
with the thoroughbred race horse or thr
American trotter he suffers much by the
comparison.
He lacks the size and speed of the
thoroughbred, and what a spectacle a
Maud S, a Jay-Eye-See, Stamboul, a
Nelson would make Of the greatest trot-
ting Arab that ever lived could they meet
on trotting treckl ~
As race they are handsomer than the
American trotters, many Of which have
inherited Roman heads and cat hams
from the great progenitor, Rysdyk's
Hambletonian. If it could be done with
out loss of size and speed, for the pur.
pose of giving beauty and finish to the
American trottee, It might be well tc
add more of the Arab blood to the COM
posite article which goes to make up the
American trotter, but the experiment
has been tried and not found successful.
No Arab known to civilized man is SO
handsome as Mainbrino King. Boston

THE ST. MANDE DISASTER
1t Is Still the Feature Of Popular Inter
est in France.

est IN France
PARIS, July 2S.-The terrible excur-
sion train collision at st. Mande, near
this city, is still the feature of popular
interest here. The newspapers of this
city and the provinces are filed with
narrowing details of the disaster, such
ghastly railroad accidents not being
every day occurrences here, and popu-
larly supposed to be confined to the
United States. The funerals will be in
the cemetery at st. Mande, and will be
conducted at the expense of the COM
mune. The assistant station master at
Vincennes and the driver of the second
engine have been arrested on the charge
of having contributed, by carelessness,
to the events which brought about the
collision.
The lady announced as being among
the injured by the disaster is not the
Marquise de Montferata, but Madame
Blancey, or Blanchet, of New York city.
Up to the present the official inquiry
has failed to establish clearly the real
cause of the collision, which is attrib-
uted in turn to revenge, malice, carless-
ness and incompetency, according to the
revelations of the hour. The action of
the fireman in drowning the roasting
and wounded people imprisoned beneath
the wreck is most severely condemned.
Seven additional people, victims of
the collision, died last night, making a
total of fifty dead accounted for. but the
terribly-consumed state of some of the
remains found makes it probable that in
some cases the heaps of cinders collected
may be those of two people which have
been counted as one. The municipal
authorities of st. Mande have decided
that the funeral of the victims shall take
place &C O'Clock tomorrow afternoon.

WORLDS FAIR ENJOYS
ENDED THEIR STAY IN LONDON IN
A BLAZE OF GLORY.
They Gave a Banquet at the Savoy Hotel
Which was Attended By a Distin-
guished Company-A Cordial Reception
in Store for Them at Paris.

LONDON, July 2S.-The foreign COM
mittee OF the Columbian fair commits
sion ended their stay in England today
in blaze of glory, with luncheon at
the Savoy hotel. The banquet was at
tended by a company of distinguished
guests seldom collected under one roof.
The hotel was devoted to the use of the
Americans and their friends. From the
summit OF the building waved an enor-
nous American flag. The dining room
was festooned with British and Ameri-
can colors, and decorated with
flowers. Over eighty guests as
sembled at the luncheon, including
Robert 7. Lincoln. Viscount Gross, Sir
Richard Webster, Sir Edwin Arnold,
Calvin S. Brice, Sir John Pender, Sir
Charles Upper, Robert S. Mccormick
and Sir Henry Wood.
The banquet was rendered by the
American foreign committee to the
British worlds fair commissioners and
others. Ex-Congressman Butterworth
presided. The toasts, The President of
the United States and The Queen, were
drunk with great enthusiasm. Messrs.
Butterworth, Peck and Handy
made most automatically worded
speeches returning thank fqr
the hospitality accorded them,
and clearly explaining the OBJ
| jects and intentions of the fair. Min
ister Lincoln made a lengthy speech,
assuring foreign exhibitors that the
United States would use every endeavor
to facilitate their exhibits, concluding
with the remark: sChicago has never
yet failed in any public undertaking,
and never WILL"
Viscount Cross, secretary of state for
India, in happy speech said England
was heartily and entirely with the
United States in this matter, and would
do everything possible to insure the best
representation, not only OF herself, but
her colonies. As Viscount Cross is a
good friend of the queen, his utterance
is said beyond doubt to have been
authorized by the government.
Many other prominent persons were
among the speakers, and letters of regret
were read from Chauncey M. Depew and
Hon. w. f. Gladstone. The latter ex-
pressed the hope in his letter that the
fair would tend materially to advance
commercial intercourse between the
nations.
The committee starts for Paris to-
morrow. During their stay in France
they will be received by the chamber oi
commerce, be banqueted in the Elffel
tower by the Franco-American society,
and will attend several other receptions
given in their honor.

Selling Strawberries at a Profit.

=
'There are tricks in all trades but
ours" said retail grocer to me recently.
"You wonder how it is that we are able
to sell Strawberries at less than they cost
us and still make money. It is a puzzler
to the uninitiated, isn't it? But after all
it is simple enough when you know how.
'sFor instance, 60 down to the mar
ket and buy crate of Strawberries for
thirty cents box. Now my trade is
not rich enough to pay me even thirty
five cents a box, and at less than that
make no profit.
"Well, take those berries and empty
them out Of the boxes. Then l take a
nice piece of white paper, which is much
cheaper than Strawberries, and drape,
as it were, the box. Then l take the
berries and arrange them very carefully
in such a way that all that are any way
touched with decay go to the bottom and
only the fine, ripe, sound ones are in
sight. By leaving plenty of space
between the berries, except the top layer,
have no difficulty in filling two of the
draped boxes with the contents of one
of the original, and then they look much
richer and more appetizing and sch
better.
when this is done, out they go in
front of the store marked twenty cents
box, and before know it they are all
sold, netting me nice little profit. If !
had tried to sell them in the original
boxes at thirty-ive cents would have
had good many left on my hands to
spd1.

green groceries and fruits keep man, at
good salary, simply to repack goods
and it pays well. New York Herald.
