Turn OF The Wat.r.

The Weiser Signal comes out this
week fully and heavily loaded with
postofiice thunder. This muddle is a
sad thing for Weiser and the new town
both, but is u picnic for Payette.
Growl on and fight among yourselves
boys, we are glad you are; for while
you are doing nothing but growl and
calling each other classical names, we
are going ahead and opening up high
ways and constructing buildings and
otherwise using our best efforts to
bald up and improve both town and
country. Yes, growl and fight harder,
boys After this postoilice wad is
used up can { you get up another
scheme to help the racket along
Can you people of the depot town
10 up some dark night and steal the
court house and land her in your
burg? At least keep up the row; ''it's
cheese in our box; it's water on our
wheell"-Payette Transcript.
The above will show how outside
papers ''horse laugh" a town en-
gagged in a cat and dog quarrel like
Neiser is at present. What greater
detrlment to town could befall it
that to have the state press jeering at
1t? There is too much truth in what
Bill says for us to attempt to gainsay
IT. Yet the majority of the people
here are too ''bull-headed to turn Off
the water but keep turning the full
curreat on Payette's wheel.

isaac Smith, Whose Execution Was Nine
Times Bet. Goes Up For Life.
The Communication of the capital sentence
of Isaac Smith to imprisonment for life in
the Ohio state penitentiary practically ends
one of the most sensational cases in crimi-
nal records. Smith, who was convicted
upon circumstnntial evidence of the muir
der of his cousin, Stephen Skidmore, in
1883, has had the date of his execution set
for nine different times. but upon the rep
resentHtion that new evidence was in exist
ence th0t would acquit the condemned
man the execution Of sentence was each
time appended by the executive.
The ourts, however, did not
upon JIthcr occasion find sufficient
ground for granting q new trial.
Upon the approach OF the date last sat for
the execution. March 20. Gov. Campbell
granted n Respite and Gent /, message to the
state legislature. which was then il session,
suggesting the enactment of u law appllca-

give the courts wider discretion in granting
new trials. The legislature bas not acted
upon the suggestion and at last the gov

Bedsprends end Portierss.

A pretty material for bedspreads and
portieres is bargarren art cloth. 1t comes
in white, cream and colors, and in four
different styles of mesh. In colors it Is
ffty-two inches and in cream and white
it is seventy-two inches. 1t is heavy and
durable. Where it is required for dra-
peries no cloth can be better than this, as
it adjus9 itself in soft, graceful lines, and
it would be almost impossible for the most
awkward hand to give the folds "stif"
appearance For table mats it is "a treas
urs." Make the mats about 2N inches
larger than the body of the mat is desired,
and ravel out this extra width when the
working of the mat is finished for fringe.
A pretty way to add color to the fringe
is to darn from the edge of the cloth before
the mat is raveled; darn in about three
inches at the widest place and 21S
inches at the narrOwest; regulate the
width of dsrning so that the inside
hpe shall be y series of points or squares;
this is easily done, IS the meshes regulate
the stitches in the same way canvas does.
When the edge is raveled the eolored
threads will be pretty with the white. II
more color is desired, any pattern may be
darned. or cross stitched the same as it can
be on canvas.
This cloth is well suited for bedspreadS
A pattern chosen should be a large open
one. A handsome spr cad was worked OF
white with green aud gold foss; 1t was
made long enough to come over the pill
lows, which should be placed rather low
The sides of the spread were finished with
fringe. One can afford to put considerable
work on a spread of this kind, as nc
shams are required, aud there is almost
mo end" to the wear Of the goods.-House

A Young Girls Room.

A young girls room may be as full OF
costly articles as wealth can make it, or it
may be the result of taste and ingenu uity
with but tri1ing expense, but the one who
looks in upon it can, if choosing to take
the pains to do so, tell at once the charac.
ter of the occupant by the mere arrange
ment or rdisarrangement of the place. There
is of course the pretty artistic ensemble
that at first glance seems to be only con.
fusion, but which presently resolves itself
into a harmony Of form and tint, any
change in which would be discord, which
tells something interesting concerning the
artist in the arranger.
Then there is the precise and prim man.
ner in which everything is at right angles:
every book is exactly in position on every
other book; no folderols are allowed; moth
ing that indicates waste of time or love
of pleasure, aud everything that indicates
methodical, utilitarian and exacting traits,
with little love of beauty, indicates char.
acter that will by and by possibly make
life burden to every one in the house
There is the confusion, again, which is
disorder, where everything has been tossed
at random; there is no place for anything
and nothing is in its place, thus telling
lamentable tale of It's first cause. And then
there is the abode of neatness without ia
natical and pragmatical effort for it, of
order without primness, of grace and spot
lessness combined; room where a little
of the artist is to be seen, q little of the
precision and something of the perfect love
of order without its caricature -Harper's
Bazar.

Disease at the Back Door.


Gas for ordinary family sicknesses, 1 be-
heve," says physician, that most of them
come from slops. Yes, it is the nasty habit
of pitching out the back door pailful and
a dipperful, now and then, of greasy wa
ter, and handful of parings and the gen.
eral waste of the kitchen that breeds fe-
vers and bilious diseases. They disappear
for the most part in the soil, but that is
the key to the mischief. The soil gets full
after time and ferments, and the hot sun
breeds poisonous gases which surround
and enter the house. This is true not only
of the cheaper, poorer houses and careless
families, but well to do, intelligent people
have spots behind their houses saturated
with slops Slop holes and filthy drains
are so common in cities that the wonder is
there is not general pestilence.
"No amount of supervision can prevent
a great deal of filthy evil. But in the
country it should never be allowed. All
that is not carried off by the regular drain
should be carried out to trees and poured
in small quantities here and there as fer
tilizer Trees will take up a large amount
of water and be grateful for it. If there is
an ashpit about, which is, of course, to be
frequently emptied and the contents car
ried away to be sowed on the land, the
slops may be thrown into the ashes. But
there must be simply constant intelligencs
in the disposal of waste. Nowhere are
drains more needed about a home than
about the back door, Louis Globe
Democrat.

Annnnncine ENGAGEMENTS.

When couple are engaged there is sell
dom any sensible reason why all the world
should not know it, and therefore the
fashion of announcing engagements just
before a prominent ball, and having the
ladies and gentlemen congratulated by
their friends is to be commended. To be
sure, if the engagement is afterward
broken, the thought of these public con-
gratulations would be embarrassing; but
If the fashion tends to prevent promises
of marriages being lightly given, it will
serve good purposes. The girl who might
say yes when asked to marry, with the
mental reservation that if anything better
comes along she will contrive not to keep
her word, will think twice about it if she
has to go through with such form.
Marriage engagements are frequently
too lightly entered into, and too lightly
set aside. The engagement should be
nearly as sacred contract as the marriage
itself, and it should be such an engage
ment that both parties would be proud TO
have it known among all their common
acquaintance. In general, when the en-
gagement is, as all engagements should
be, serious, there is everything to gain and
nothing to lose by having the facts
known.-Demorest's

wanted to Chang. HI. Luck.

Gamblers are VIGOROUSLY superstitious.
and believe in all sorts of charms, "hoo-
doos,'' warning dreams and so on. But
the palm for this sort of idiocy must be
awarded TO Charles Clay, who lives near
Henderson, KY, and who. has been ar
rested at the instance Of James Hender-
son. Clay is charged with having opened
the grave of Henderson's wife and having
cut from the right hand of the dead woman
the foreinger.
Clay has been unlucky at cards, and was
advised by some of his companions of q
sure way to secure luck, namely, to visit a
graveyard on a dark night, open the grave
of female and cut of the forefnger of her
right hand. Clay was credulous enough
to believe in the recipe, and acted on it.
He had no motive of robbery, as was shown
by his leaving untouched valuable ring
worn on the left hand of the corpse.

Moman'a Intuition.

There is no doubt that large percentage
OF womRnkind are averse to telling theii
ages. The reason why they are is not sc
evident But it is not In the matter OF
telling ages alone that woman's ways, like
those of Providence, are inscrutsble. Many
other things which they do, or refuse K
do, are commonly supposed to be the result
of lack of reason rather than its effect
It is pretty universally considered that
woman is not great success as reasoner
and most of her happiest inspirations an

ering Women's intuitions, moreover, are
SO often right that one cannot help admir-,
ing this excellent, if mysterious, power
and their intuitions-for it cannot be any
thing else-are equally correct in the case
under discussion.
The desire to ascertain another persons

the outcome of nothing better than idle
curiosity, and it is better that idle curios

must be concluded. think, that woman
feels intuitively that nothing is to be

usually keeps it dark. 1t is true that hel
intuitions in this direction sometimes
carry her too far, but that is only another
case of "a little too much of good thing "
