Bedroom Carpets.


There is an excellent way of laying
bedroom carpets, in houses where
rugs are not the rule. Fastcn small
strong hooks in the Dashboard, close tC
the floor, and on the edge of the car.
pet sew corresponding rings. slip the
rings over the hooks and the carpet i.
securely laid. OF course a few tack'
must be put where the carpet crosses :
doorway, but these are quickly remov
ed. BY this method, which is employ
ed in the sleeping rooms of many
hotels, Il carpet may frequently b'
taken up, thoroughly shaken ant
replaced, without much more labO
than would be required to sweep i
while on the floor.

RETURN OF ENCKE'S COMET.
The ErratiC Visitor Very Close to the Path
Already Predicted.

MOUNT HAMILTON, Aug. 2.-Professor
Holden Of the Lick Observatory sends the
following Important intelligence: The we'll
known periodic comet-of Eucke was redis-
covered this morning at the Lick Observa-
tory by +. E. Barnard. 1t is very faint,
and is following closely the path predicted
for it by Dr.. Backlund. The position OF
the comet at hours, Al minutes p seconds,
Mount Hamilton mean time, was right as
cenSion hours, 56 minutes and q seconds.

This famous comet, whose periodic re-
turns have been verified by observation, re-
ceivcd the name of Encke, the astronomer
who first recognized it as having been
observed in previous revolutions 1t returns
to its perhelion in 1908 days. Encke's
comet, although its identity was not dscoy-
cred until 1918, had been frequently OBJ
served, as in 17S9 1795. 1901 and 1866; and on
these occasions IT. exhibited very different
appearances, having been seen with and
without a nucleus, and with and Without
tail-circunstances which account for its
having so long escaped being recognized as
regular attendant on the sun. In its re-
turn 10 its perheliOn in 1905. 1872 and 1915 it
escaped detection, but il reappeared in 1918,
and IL was from the observations of that
year that Encke computed the elliptic ele-
nents of its orbit. On its next return, in
1922, it was invisible in Europe, but it was
observed at Paramatta, in New South
Wales, during the whole month Of June, and
the time Of its perihelion passage was found
TO differ only about three hours from that

IN A POISONED CAVE.

The Sad Ending of a Colorado Pleasure
Party-overcome by Gas.
a pleasure party had very sad ending
here. On the opposite side of the DJlo res
River is a cave that has been known for
years as the Poison Cave. From some source
there is flow Of carbonic acid gas, which
lies in layer a foot thick on the floor of
the cave. The place is looked upon as
great natural curiosity and is frequently
visited by pleasure parties. There has been
no case known of where human being
has lost his life in the cave, but
many instances are told of dogs be-
coming aspnyxiated and dying by 90
ing into the deadly gas party of three
young ladies and three young men went to
the cave. There appeared to be an extra
heavy charge OF the gas generated, for
whenever any of them stopped over little
they could feel the effects Of the poison in
the, air. No thought Of danger was at
tached to the fact. however, and tho PARTY
proceeded to the end of the cave and
stopped for while about one hundred feet
from the entrance. On the return Miss
Carrie Neal was in the rear, and when the
others reached the mouth of the cave she
was not with them. The young men hur-
rled back and found her lying on the ground
about fifty feet from the entrance. She was
carried TO the outer air and physician hur-
riedly called, but she could not be revived
She lived for about two hours and then died.
1t is surmised that she stopped forward or
stumbled and before she could recover her
sell was overcome by the gas and lost con-
seriousness. Frank Howard was badly poiS-
oned In the effort to bring her out, but
prompt attention saved his life. Miss Neal
was one Of the most prominent young ladies
here and had made many trips to the cave
before the present one.-RIco (Colo.) special

Their Legs Go ON Forever.


A discussion then arose at the corner
bookstore as to the evil effects of mclodeon-
playing upon the muscular and nervous sys-
tens.
IL was put in evidence that Brother
Blatchford had played the melodecn so
much in his earlier years, and had operated
the foOt-pedas of his great organ so much
OF later years that he now found it impos-
slble to keep his legs in repose, his feet hav-
ing become so accustomed to motion that
they now continually and inv0luntarily kept
treading away.
=. 1t was said that 1t was possible TO dis
tingush Lynn girl by the same means, the
girls living in Lynn having been brought up
in the shoe factories, where they operated
sewing machines, becoming duly afflicted
with an involuntary motion OF their legs
and feet. so that, even though they would
lain appear in repose, they could never pos
slb.y refrain from that movement of their
neither limbs, which gave TO them an APP
pearance of walking, even though they were
sitting down.
THIS curious affiiction, it was recalled by
Mr. Way, had been alIuded to by DR.. Holmes
In one of his merry skits:
or Yankee girls the girls OF Lynn
Are still esteemed most clever;
Iheir tongues may sometimes cease their din,
But their legs go on forever.

ESCAPADE OF A MONKEY,

just at time when Madison and Clark
streets were filled with pedestrians and ve-
hicles large, wild-eyed IL onkey carrying
her child in her arms bounded out Of q
window Of Kohl & Middleton museum and
began making faces at the people below.
About the same time an employe in the mu-
scum cTawed out of another window look
ing as scared as the monkey. The animal
bounded away in alarm She clutched
huge set Of sign teeth with one foot and
then with a leap caught telegraph wire
with her tail. Still ampering before the
savase-locking man who pursued her she
finally flung herself on the roof of the build
ing where she sat trembling and blinking in
the hot sun. a great crowd of people gath
cred to see the capture. Policemen had TO
hit some heads in order to cut line for
h0rse-cars. 1t was not long before the en-
ploye, looking even more desp. rate than be-
fore, eli ~ bed out OF the skylisht in the roof
and began to steal upon the monkey. But lie
wasn't much of monkey lker. for the
beast heard him coming and leaped from the
roof with the baby still clutched in her arms.
In her plunge the monkey caught the rope of
an awning and then leaped into an open W in
dow of an adjoining building. The emplnye
leaned over the cornice of the museum. The
crowd jeered and made monkey of him.
But he continued the chase He had bag
now, and when he ran up the stairs of the
Deming Hotel he capped it over the little
animal and her baby and dragged them back
TO the museum. The monkey came to town
on Tuesday from New York. 1t is probable
that she was driven temporarily insane
either by the pounding OF tile piano-p player
or by the voice OF the lecturer. At any rate,
she WAS determed is save her chiid.-Chi-

DETROIT, Aug. 2.-All things considered,
liere seems to be every reason to believe
that The Silver encaEipment will be just
Whath has been prophesicd and intended-ihe
greatest gathering Of veterans since the
grand review at the National Capital at the
close Of the war in 1865. The Grand Army
now Is at the zenith of it's glory. 1t has
grown gradually to its present dimensions,
and in few years will come the time when
the number of recruits can no longer equal
the number of comrades mustered out and
the Twenty-ffth National Encamp pine mt is
likely to go down TO posterity as the banner
encampment in the history of the organiza-
tior.
Trains and boats have been arriving all
day loaded with delegates, who, as they ar
rive, are being quickly bu:ton-hoied by
friends of the different candidates for Com
mander-in-Chief. Following are the prin-
eipal candidates: General II. A. Barnum

straw. n. T., Judge S. II. Hurst OF Ohio,
Charles P. Lincoln of Michigan, General A.
q. Weissert Of Wisconsin, w. h. Smedberg

1872. While in 1898 Chicago will secure the
prize.
