bakery a very unique bake oven
which is her own invention, and If
patented might prove quite little
fortune to her. 1t is constructed of
sheet iron and bakes equal to brick

stove at will. The stove lids are re-
moved and the oven placed on the
stove, the flame entering holes in the
bottom ana circling it between the
outer and inner walls and passing
thence into the stove pipe. Forty
loaves of bread may be baked at a

We had the honor and pleasure Of
being selected as the critic of re-
hearsal of the drama-"Under the
Laurels"-to be played by our home
theatrical troupe this evening. If
we are competent judge of talent
in this line, the troupe, for amateurs,
is the best ever organized in this
place. "Under the Laurels" is a
beautiful drama, in FIVE acts, and
cannot fail to capture the audience
from the first, and those who are
fond of comedy will eagerly await
the happy appearance of Zeke in ev-
cry scene. Zeke is star of the first
magnitude, although dark, shiny
star. The farce ce-"IrresistabIy I'm
pudent''-is also irresistably funny.

CAssTA COUNTY TINES: In review
ing the affidavit of Walter H. Smith,
representative from Ada county,
embodied in the memorial of would
be-Senator Clagett, we find a few
straws indicating the direction of the
wind in Mr.. Smiths locality, and
proving that gentleman possessed of
all the patience, patriotism and scope
of intellect (?1 possessed by se> eral
of the solons q of the same ilk. A
peculiar instance of this is found in
his statement, after having been elect
ed by Republican constituency aud
favoring Clagett from the first, but
beng unable to elect him that II even
felt myself as though l would never
vote another Republican ticket, aud
remained Of that opinion until it was
suggested that Mr.. Mcconnell had
drawn the term ending March I, 1891,
and that a new election should be
held" We have no doubt this en-
bodied the gentleman's feelings. We
have heard of little boys playing
when they could not have things just
to suit them getting mad ani declin-
ing to play at all, but broad mind

ate himself by saying: 81 was a

vention, and submitted, at the re-.
quest OF Mr.. Pstrie, and as coming
from him, this paper; that one of the

him, and went into the combination

TAScE." So it was with reluctance
that he voted for Dubois after pre-
senting himself the resolution and be-
ing elected with that pledge. Yet
his error is explained by bis further
statement "that | am a farmer and
KNOW NOTHING OF law. Not
being a lawyer, WAS UNABLE TO
FORM ANY OPINION OF MY OWN. :"
This is at least candid, and the only
thing he failed to tell was whose opin-
ion he voted ON when he voted for
Clagett, as he was unable to form
any opinion of his own, and from his
affidavit appears to have read no
newspaper but the Statesman. His
course, however, was not strange for
a statesman q who "knew nothing
of law and was unable to form an
opinion of his own" We protest,
however, against the reflection on the
farmer contained in his affidavit.

A seed much used for ornament is
that which bears the popular name OF
Jobs Tears. The old botanist Gerarde
thus describes it: every graine resem-
bleth the drop or tear that falleth from
the eye" There are, however, now
three or four well marked forms of this
seed met with in India, which differ
from each other in shape, color and de-
gree of hardness, and in the presence
or absence of grooves or burrows along
the length of the hardened involucer
DR. Watt, of Calcutta, thus emu
merates them: There are three types
of shape-a long cylindrical or tubular,
a normal pear shaped condition and a
Hattened spheroidal form. The cylin-
drical grain is always of a white color,
smooth, polished, not furrowed, but
CONSTRUCTED toward both extremities.
This is collected for ornamental pur-
poses only, and not as an article for
food. The pear shaped form varies in
size and color, being pale and blush
white, gray, yellow or brown black.
The flattened spheroidal kinds are often
yellow, or even pink.
1.-The two principal forms are-one al.
most round and either white or black.
This form is sometimes, though less fire..
Quently used for rosaries and orna.
mental purposes, but chiefly for food
among the hill tribes of India. The
second form is tubular. about half an
inch long. This is extensively employed
for decorative purposes, the dresses
worn by the Karen women being often
completely covered with embroidered
designs of this grain. "-Chambers' Jour

The ancient marriage ceremonies OF
the church were divided into the be-
trothal and the nuptials. The essen
tials of the betrothal were the ring, the
dowry, the joining of hands and the
yelling, while those of the nuptlals com
prised the oblation, or fee, the kiss, the
benediction, and the browning. These
ceremonies are carefully observed in
the Syrian, Coptic and other eastern
churches.
The silly custom of the priest TAX
ing the first kiss from the bride is both
unseemly and irreverent. The man
should kiss his wife as soon as the ccre-
mony is over and the priest and his
clerks should reverently retire to the
vestry.
In the Church of England, as soon as
the service is over, the wedding party
retires to the vestry and there record
their names in the marriage register,
the bride, strange to relate, signing her
maiden name once more and for the
last time. 1t is then that signal is
given to the belfry and the church
bells ring out their marriage chimes

This Gong for Business.

In the Office Of the captain Of the
watch at the treasury department is a
large gong connected with series Of
wires. That bell has never been rung
save when it is tested to see IL it is in
working order, and the officials trust
that it never will be sounded. When
it does, business OF the most serious
kind is meant.
At some time or other some crank or
cranks might get into the cashroom or
banking Office of the treasury, and by
the bold use of arms attempt to make
a raid. This gong is connected with
the cashroom by number of wires,
and the pressure Of button at con-
venient places will sound the alarm.
The watchmen have orders when that
bell rings to drop all other work and
come to the cashroom thoroughly
armed and ready to deal with whatever
may present elf.-Washington Post.

INTELLIGENCE OF A CAT.
How an Ordinary Mother Pussy Found a
Home for Her Young Ones

How an Ordinary Mother Pussy Found
Home for Her Young Ones.
The ordinary house cat is capable Of
displaying great intelligence when the
need is imminent and her maternal in
stincts are aroused. A cat belonging
to family who had a cottage at New
port had raised her progeny in peace
for several years beneath the friendly
roof, when the advent Of small bull
terrier sent her and her five young kit.
tens in great dismay under the house.
For several days they lived in torment,
hardly daring to show their noses, I'M
til the mother, becoming desperate,
resolved to change her abode.
Deliberately selecting a neighboring
cottage where there was one dog who
had been brought up with cats and
rather liked them than otherwise, and
taking a dark night when the enemy
was asleep, she moved her entire family,
one by one, into the cellar of this new
place Of refuge-much to the annov-
ance Of the mistress Of the house, who
had peculiar antipathy to cats. After
few days the whole family were voted
an uncomfortable nuisance. Twice they
were sent back to their original abode,
and each time they returned in full
force. The children plead for the little
kittens, however, so the mother cat was
ANONYMOUSLY bundled into basket
and carried few miles back into the
country and let loose.
That night about 2 o'clock the most
terrible squealing and mewing broke
out among the cats. The commotion
lasted about an hour and then utterly
ceased did you hear those catsl"
every one exclaimed as they met at the
breakfast table. Strange to say, every
trace Of the five kittens had completely
vanished and the cause was discovered
later. The indignant and i'll used pussy
had returned, held an indignation meet
ing with her children, and had departed
with them one and all-taking refuge
in still another house in the neighbor-
hood.
This last family, feeling sorry for a
cat who struggled 80 bravely to keep
her family together, endured their cat
erwauling for several days until they,
too, became desperate. The cats, hav-
ing grown willy, we're most difficult to
catch. Several, however, were capt
ured and sent in different directions,
while the mother was presented to the
butcher as good mouser, and taken
by him to neighboring village.
And here is shown the wonderful
pertinacity and intelligence of this
united cat family. One after the other
they all returned to their original
home the old mother having found her
way back over the weary miles, and
concluding with Owen Merediths,
GLOW, after all, old things are best"
she reassembled her progeny in their
old abiding place, made friends with
the terrier, and is now enjoying her
well earned rest.-New York Tribune.

'Some years ago John Warren, well
known to old residents of Ashfeld,
started out as drummer to sell
leather from Mr.. William Bryants
tannery. About this time he was
converted and he forthwith began
to carry as samples poorer quality
of leather than the average product Of
the tannery, for fear the goods when
delivered might not be equal to the
sample. He wus SO all fired honest,
said one of the village worthless in re-
lating the circumstance, that he pretty
nigh run the old tannery clean out by
selling from such darned poor sam
pies. '"-Cor. New York Times.

Those along the Thames embankment

The tree in the northeast corner seems

After the goods have been examined
and tested they are sponged, or shrunk.
There are several methods Of doing this
work. One is by wetting the cloth and
hanging it up to dry. Another is by
rolling the garment on perforated cop
per cylinders into which live steam is
admitted, which permeates the roll Of
cloth and shrinks it. O., after the
cloth is laid away to cool, the water
and the heat together shrink 1t, and so
