WHAT A BOY HAS LEARNED.

At least they're new TO me
Think I'd better tell to you;
They may help, you see. ,.st

To keep his fingers from the CRATE,
These things from wisdom's shelf,
In confidence to you I'd state,
I've learned all by myself.

Cutting Glass with Shears.

Panes of glass can be cut under water
to almost any shape with pair Of scis-
sors. Two things are necessary for q
success: first the glass must be quite
level in the water while the scissors are
applied, and secondly, to avoid risk, it is
better to perform the cutting BY cut
ting off small pieces, thus reducing the
form gradually to that required. The
softer glasses cut best, and the scissor
need not be very Sd afp.-Toledo Blade

A Young Eiend's Deed.

CATLETTsBURG, KY, March T.
Full particulars of the Wright muir
der in Pike County were received
here last night. On Sunday night of
last week F. NJ. Wright, aged q,
was shoJ and killed by his younger
brother, Joel. aged II, who was insti-
gated by an older brother. Levi. Mr..
Wright had recently returned from
the West, where he had been serving
in The army. Upon his return he dis
covered that the education of the
boys was being neglected, and at
tempted 10 teach them. On the
night of the killing he had given
Joel lesson in spelling, to be learned
before retiring. He then laid down
on the bed, telling the boy TO awaken
him as soon as his lesson was learned.
Levi suggested to Joel to secure a
Winchester rifle and kill him. Joel
secured the gun and approached the
bed upon which Mr.. Wright was
sleeping. Levi left the house as soon
as Joel secured the weapon. The boy
confesses that at the time he made
the first attempt to shoot his heart
failed him, but after repeated at
tempts his nerves became steady and
the CHASTITY deed was committed.
The heavy rifle was placed on the bed,
the muZzle within few inches OF
the sleeping mans head, and the
weapon was discharged.
The young fiend says that be aim

head, but at the instant of discharg-
ing the weapon the sleeping man
turned his head and the ball took
effect in the right side of the head,
ranging backward and coming out on
the back of the head. Levi, who dur
ing the shooting remained outside,
came in, blew out the light, extracted
the shell from the gun, threw it in
the fire, where it was found by offic-
ers the following day. Both of the
boys were placed under arrest and
are now in the Pike County Jail. An
examining trial was held last week
and both boys held to await the act
ion of the Grand Jury.

PEELED her to u violence which re.
quired two strong persons to con troll;
which gradually induced paralysis
and loss of sight, and which baffled
the ablest medical skill, Is restored to
health in less than two weeks treat
ment, by the simple laying on of
hands, and is pronounced by herself
and friends, six months afterward,
perfectly cured. This caseis attested by
six reputable citizens, over their own
signatures, who say that they know
the patient "well and Intimately"
The force of testimony can go no tar.
Their, and taken in connection with
other cures performed by this mag

prove him without question a man
most wonderfully endowed by nature
with gifts of healing for suffering
humanity.
No amount of criticism, no skepti

set aside or breqk the force of such
testimony as this. A man or woman
who would not believe in the wonder

Tanning on such evidence would not
