Blackmailed Ex-Governor Ramsey.

ST. PAUL, May 2.-The fact has be-
come public that Ex-Governor Ramsey
has for some time been the victim of an
unscrupulous man named Nichols, who
was formerly his coachman. This man
has been demanding money in small
sums from the governor for nearly two
years. To avoid any unpleasantness,
Mr.. Ramsey acceded to his demands
but finally placed the matter in the
hands OF Judge Flandrau, who obtained
. confession from Nichols that he had
been discriminating the governor. Later
he began renewing his demands and
MIR. Ramsey has taken steps to put a
stop to it.

Colored Gins. for snecfacies,

Colored Glass for s~pectacies.
Adams is reported to have been tho
first to recommend the use Of blue
glass, but they were at first more widely
used in Germany, chiefly through the
recommendation Of the great oculist
Crate, Of Bohrn, and others. The blue
color Of glass is chiefly to be recon-.
mended because it absorbs those rays in
their passage which belong to the yellow
and orange portion Of the spectrum, in
which the greatest brightness and great
est heat are concentrated, and the eyes.
especially weak ones, consequently
greatly protected by the blue color.
while rays which such eyes are able to
bear obtain access.
The material for blue glasses which
has to be made in various shades to
suit individual eyes, is somewhat less
hard than that employed formerly for
green spectacles and is also inferior in
that respect to white glass, but it has
gained in durability comprised with
former descriptions of glass.
Still greater is the progress recorded
in the manufacture and hardness of
s'smoked" glass, also used for protecting
the eyesight. This kind of glass, which
is colored gray or mouse colored by the
additionof manganese, formerly suffered
from too great softness by the addition
of a large quantity of lead; but the best
manufactures nov made are nearly
equal to white glass in point Of hard,
ness. The object of smoked glass is to
reduce the glare of light without segre.
eating colors.-Chambers' Journal.

Proper a~rastication.

Proper m~astication implies that tho
food be thoroughly chewed and mixed
with the fluids of the mouth before be-
ing swallowed and that these functions
be performed without haste. Most peo-
pie eat as though they were ignorant Of
the fact that the stomach has no teeth
or means of ensalivating the food with
which they fill it. The stomach is q
most faithful servitor and makes a long
and earnest struggle to preserve its
owner from the inevitable consequences
of imposing upon it functions which ma
ture intended should be performed by
the teeth and the salivary glands; but,
like the indulgences of u faithful mother
or any other self sacrificing friend, its
services are only recognized when it is
unable to respond to demands for them.
Most people as they approach middle
life lose many Of their back teeth, which
are the principal implements of mastica-
ton, but they fail to bear in mind that
they shouldtake more time at their meals
In order to properly prepare their food for
swallowing. They should remember
that nature makes no allowance for their
inirmities in this respect, but will hold
them to a strict account for any neglect
to observe the rules Of health.-Wash-
ington Star,

suga.. in Tea or coEee.

II we drop a lump of sugar into q cup
of tea we find that it takes q consider
able time to melt If allowed to remain
at the bottom Of the vessel, but if we
hold it up in a spoon les the surface Of
the liquid it dissolves away much more
speedily. This arises from the sugar, as
1t melts, rendering the portion Of the
beverage containing it heavier. The
sweetened part, therefore. descends,
leaving the sugar constantly in contact
with u~nsweetened OF only partially
sweetened tea, and, in fact, q continual
circulation of fluid is promoted until the
whole is dissolved.
When the sugar is placed or permitted
to lie at the bottom Of the cup, it dis
solves until the layer Of food next 1t is
thoroughly sweetened or saturated, when
1t practically ceases to dissolve any fur

ally into play, like an impervious cover.
ing in keeping back the lighter unsweet-
ened fluid above. Hence the reason also
why stirring, in breaking up the satu-
rated layer and allowing access to this
unsweetened portion, is so effectual in
bringing about the uniform sweetening
Of tea.-London Tit-Bits.

audience who greeted the appearance
of our home talent upon the stage on
Friday and Saturday evenings Of last
week. We have heard many words of
praise and can but believe that all were
pleased with the entertainment. The
character parts we're well represented
and to particularize some, would seem
to show favcritism. We endeavored in
some short items last week to give our
readers some idea Of what might be
expected of the principal characters.
Suffice it to say that all carried their
respective parts even better than was
expected. Great credit Is due to Prof.
Dora Stinson the musical director, who
through weeks of hard work brought
to a successful elimination this difficult
opera. Special mention is also due to
Mrs. l. R. Crow for her efforts, as she
made numerous trips between Cascade
and Hot Springs for the sole purpose
Of practising for her prominent part

The New Baptist Church.

Since the finishing Of this new
building commenced it has been
watched by many of the people of the
College flat with interest and now when
the last touches are being put on and
the inside work is virtually done en-
cept painting, all unite i'll calling it
one of the prettiest churches i'll town.
The building is we'll lighted by %
windows, Of which the center glass is
plain, and around it is blended smaller
lights in six different coloss, making a
very pretty effect. On the east and
west sides arc two large octagonal
windows, in which is q large orange
star, in a background of blue. There
are two main entrances, one from the
northwest and one from the northeast
corner. The two cozy vestrles back Of
the main room, and the lecture room
in the front, with the PASTORS study
above, all help to make it one Of the
best planned churches in the city; and
with porches and porticos, and pictur-
esque windows, fine wood work and
neat and newly painted steeple, it can
hardly be rivalled for beauty. The
roof has just been painted an olive
brown, and makes a fine appearance.
The ~plastering commenced Wednes-
day, p. A. Slope having it in charge.
The carpenter work has been in the
hands Of j. N. Buchanan. J, Fl. Clark
has piled the brush.
The sloping floor will add much to
the comforts Of the many who will at
tend, and it is expected from the plan
of the building that the acoustic prop
critics will be good. Altogether the
church is an ornament to the flat, a
beautiful home for the society and a
landmark of u town.

BELGIAN RECONsTKUCTION.

The sgreat strike which has boon in
existence for some time at the indus
trial centers of Belgium after all shows
it's political fangs. A cursory glance at
the primal situation developed nothing
more than an economical aim, but the
monster mass meeting of strikers in
Brussels last week is the last nail in
the fabric. At that gathering the war
ring laborers made no secret of their
ultimate intentions in the event OF GER
tain contingencies. Resolutions were
passed, which openly showed sympathy
with the French cause should that
country and Germany come to blows.
This fact of itself shows the cloven
hoof of the body polite. For years the
property franchise of Belgian voter
has been such that few of the little
Kingdoms male population could find
legal right to the suffrage now de-
manded. The Liberal ministry held
the balance of power, and King Leo
pold's German antccedents would leave
no ghost of doubt as to where his in
fluence would be cast. The Radical
party has at last gained the ascendancy
and asks for manhood suffrage, pure
and simple, an educational franchise,
which will revolutionize the kingdom.
Belgium is the cock pit of Europe.
Fortified in the strongest manner on all
hands, even passive connivancc with
warning Northern or Southern European
power would prove vast help. There
fore England, Franco and Germany are
vitality interested in Belgian recon
struction and watch with obscrvant
moods the Kingdoms turn in political
affairs.

VIRGINIA'S DEBT.

debt settlement will again become the
subject of discussion between the State
commission and the Olcott people.

committee is said TO he prepared to sub
nit 4 proposition to the States repre-
sentatives, which, it is thought, will
meet with favor and ciiectually start
the veXcd question towards . speedy
and satisfactory disposal
Scarcely too much iudicious haste can
be exercised in tho matter. Che pco-
ple OF Virginia look for some adjust
ment which will he crcditablc 10 the
Old Dominion and relieve the common
wealth Of an incubus, which is bound to
crop out most unplcasantly on occasion.

sources of the State, developed and UNI

FLORIDA'S EMANCIPATION.

Senator Calls re. election to the ma
tional upper house yesterday by the
Florida legislature ends what has been
one of the lcngthicst struggles for
supremacy on record in similar cases
of this country. The fight all through
has been between the successful candi-
date and Mays, who was backed by
the Republican members and majority
of the Alliance representatives. Strictly
speaking, it has been Call and anti-Call
from the start, but up to Monday the
deadlock S dissolution was as much of a
problem as ever. The motion to ad-
journ the senatorial caucus sine die and
elect in joint session brought about the
result
However, the last day of the seance
developed some exceedingly undigintie1
actions. When States representa-
tivcs play the sulky school boy act so
far as to deliberately leave the city and
openly boast their purpose of preventing
a quorum, the action of the presiding
officer in ordering the scrgcant-at-arms
20 arrest the dclinqucnts is entirely
iustiiiablc. That caucus had become .

simmercd down.
