Steam Pleasure Carriages,

For a number of years the idea has been in the air of substituting for horse power steam in road wagons. It has been argued that if the model steam country wagon could be invented, then all farm produce could be conveyed to market cheaply and more quickly than by horse power. Horses must be fed whether they are used or not; the steam wagon could rest securely in its shed when not in use, with no danger of its eating it's own head of. In America the idea would not be at all practicable, owing to our wretched roads, but in France where the roads are firm and smooth as a city pavement the year around, the plan could be safely tried.
 A French count is, however, perfect ing steam wagon for a pleasure car riage. He has already succeeded in con structing one which will travel eighteen miles an hour and emits neither smoke nor steam. He rides about the streets of Paris in this unique vehicle, which is propelled by an instantaneous steam gen. orator. The indications are that this mode of pleasure riding will become the fashion.
 It seems, however, to begin at the wrong end of the line. The steam car riage ought to be used for heavy haul ing, and beautiful, high spirited horses for pleasure riding and driving. But the ideal carriage of all, the carriage and wagon of the future, both for city and country, will probably be the ve- hicle propelled by electricity. In any case, the fewer horses there are to be fed the more soil there will be on which to cultivate food for mankind.

Astronomical photography has literal ly developed many interesting facts. The photograph of planet shows mi mute details which are not revealed to the naked eye by the most powerful telescope, This is owing to the cumula- tive effect of long exposure, astronomic photographs requiring an exposure of more than an hour in some cases. A writer in The Popular Science News speaks of a photograph oi city, with it's background of hills, which he ob- tained by moonlight. He exposed the plate to the moons rays for an hour and a half. The minuteness of detail was surprising in case of tho more distant objects that came within range of the camera, trees appearing on thesurround- ing hills that were invisible to the naked pya

 Worried Out of tho World.

Charles Stewart Parnell did not mur- der anybody. He was never charged with embezzlement or with any kind of dishonest financial transactions. Yet for the sins he did commit he suffered a punishment compared with which the one the law metes out to & murderer is merciful. If the true story of his death were to be written it would probably be, Worried out of life, Though man were made of iron or marble he could not endure such storm as Parnell passed through. And Parnell was not iron or marble, but very fine grained flesh and blood, with nerves quivering at every touch.
 If a man be guilty of sins against the best interests of society, punish him by all means. Give him the full extent of the legal penalty. Then drop him so- cially, too, but drop him. Let him go out of sight and ignore him thenceforth as a member of the social world. But to hound man as Parnell was bounded suggests the fiendishness of Indian tor lures rather than Christianity. Politi- cal jealousies added to the keenness of the pursuit in his case, until it becomes altogether a tale which humane per son would rather forget, A fiend seems to possess men and women anyhow sometimes. Not the rattlesnake and the cobra can strike such deadly venom into human creatures veins as can the tongue of scandal let loose If we could only keep ourselves from degrading our selves by peddling scandals!
 At any rate, Parnell, the greatest champion of Ireland in his generation, is dead

The Latest Fad-Tiddledy Winks.

We saw game of "tiddledy winks" played the other evening. It IS the latest fad, and we have been told that it is very easy to w1n-when you know how. It is not essential that the game should be playe on the floor, but such was the case with tue one we witnessed. Any number of persons may engage Ill the game. Each player takes a dingus. The winks are divided equally, like wise the duficities. Take 8 wink, put it on the dingus, then by pressing 8 tiddledy on the wink, make it jump in to the wink -pot-if you can. If you succeed you are entitled to a dnflicity., and for every wink you jump into the ding pot from the duwink you count a tic tildledy, and continue to so operate the tonk winkle upon the pollywog until the points so carried shall equal the sum total of the hogwip multiplied by the puterinktnm and added to the contents of the aforesaid wink-pot, or words to that effect, then you may be said to have won the game-Exchange

WHERE IS MU.NSON?
Ex.State Senator Allen Called Upon To Settle an Account of S2S ,OOO.

The following special dispatch to the New York Press was published in the Press of Friday, Feb. 27th. It proba- bly, refers to the Forbes Munson who was or is 8 native of North Canaan, Conn. .gE9
 About twelve or thirteen years ago Forbes Munson visited acquaintances at Auburn, N. Y. and while there he wrote several letters to Lyman Dunning of East Canaan. Those letters are the last direct information that any Canaanite has received concerning Forbes Soon after writing said letters Forbes vanished from Auburn. In Feb
 1889 William Richardson, of Spring field, H., visited Canaan and while here he informed the editor of THE NEWS that either Jabez Brewster, of Chicago, Ill, or Benjamin R. Abbott, of Bloomington, H., (he was not positive which one told him) had stated to him (Richardson) that Forbes Munsoz was dead-that Forbes was killed ;n u gam bling den either at Leadv;iie, Col or at Denver, Col. abon. the year 1887. Canaanites readily believed Mir. Rich ardson's story, as they had already come to the conclusion that Forbes was dead. inasmuch as no tidings had been received from blm in over dozen years | s- q following dispatch is certainly dupli
 cate, if not the original Forbes Munson of Canaan. His transactions at Gowan da are right in line with his record at Canaan and other places.
 JAMESTOWN, N Y. Feb 26-Ex-State Senator Norman NJ. Allen of Dayton has been called upon by Henry. the minstrel, to settle an account of $28 GOO through the alleged transactions of Col onel Forbes Munson, supposedly wealthy gentleman of Gowanda.
 Munson is about 65. and when he vent to Gowanda twelve years ago was foundry employe. A little later he came out as 8 man of wealth, and by lavish expenditures of money set the local people agog with wonderment and quickly established his credit Many women were anxious to indorse his paper and many now regret their action, as his sudden departure some weeks ago leaves several of them in the lurch.
 An irregularity was discovered by one | of Muusnn's creditors, 1t IS charged and although he claimed to be solvent and pleaded for time. the investigation winch followed showed the extent of Lis transactions Since the exposure and disappearance of Munson, it ia said. it has transpired that. he had a b ,siness acquaintance with Ex- State S-nator Norman l. Allen, who h IS during the past twenty six years acte as chairman of the Board of Supervisors If Cattaraugus county. He induce Henry, as alleged. to transfer his 8 E. count to Allen Sons bank at Daytol and mingled it with his own. thougl explaining to MT. Allen that as this was side issue between himself and H. nry, he would like to have a memorandum of the amounts in the shape of cashier g checks, which were drawn to the order of Munson, and by him endorsed over

A COOKING SCHOOL IN EARNEST

A COOKING SCHOOL IN EARNEST. The Curriculum Includes Marketing. scrubbing and Eating What Is Cooked.
 A cooking school that is a cooking school has just been opened in Gothen- burg, Sweden. It is an annex of the girls part of the public school system there, and every young woman who is graduated must learn all that the prac tical cooks in the annex can teach The cooking course is part of the se- nior year curriculum and includes twenty-four lessons. Twelve of these lessons are theoretical The rest are practical. Ten of the practical lessons of two hours each are devoted to in struction in the most popular meats and vegetables. The girls are obliged to peel potatoes, skin onions, pluck and stuff chickens spit roasts and the like They put on the kettles, feed and regu late the fires, wash the dishes and clean up generally after all is done Three lessons of two hours each concern ex clusively the preparation of bouillon. toast and rice water, barley soup and other similar dishes for i'll persons
 The young women are instructed ill classes of five, and each group prepares successively every dish in the course The cooking is done mornings. the cooked dishes are served for the din ners of the pupils and teachers, and every girl is obliged to eat what she ha had hand in preparing, or go witt out. During the afternoon each stu dent writes description of how and what she cooked, and appends sugges tions as to epicurean improvements that have occurred to her mind since she finished the dish. These reports are read and corrected by the instruct, ors, and at the end of the course the girl who cooked best and suggested the most palatable innovations in the proc ess will get gold medal.
 The course is unique in two particu lars. All the girls must go to market with the instructors very early and buy all the stuff to be used in the kitchen Every Saturday is given over to house. cleaning. All the girls must then get into their old gowns and gloves, twist up their hair in tight little knots with, out friz in front or a fringe behind. and knuckle down to securing the floor, washing the windows, polishing the brass and cleaning the walls.
 The Gothenburg experiment is new. If it proves successful other cooking annexes to public schools will be opened in other Swedish cities.-New York Sun.

 In the editorial column of the New Milford Gazette we find this stament:- A novel reason why country merchants should advertise literally in local papers has been discovered by the New York Times, which says that the puzzling fact that local newspaper men some times receive subscriptions from large cities is explained as follows: rs
 A wholesale merchant in the city who became rich in the business says his rule is that whenever he sends bill ot goods on credit. he immediately b scribes for the local newspaper of his debtor. So long as the customer ad- vertised vigorously, the merchant was satisfied; but as soon as he began to con- tract his advertising space the fact was taken as evidence that there was trouble ahead and the creditor invariably went for the debtor. The merchant sala that the man who is too poor to make his business known Is too poor to do business. The withdrawal of an 'ad' Is evidence of weakness which wholesale men are not slow to act upon.
