why Not Try Chamois?

81 clean my eyeglasses these days
with ten dollar note" said well
known citizen the other day, with a
smile, as he began to rub his spectacles
with bill. "It cleans the glass and
doesn't hurt the money. A one dollar
bill would answer the purpose as well
as note for hundred, but in this case
/ happened to have the ten and used it.
81 have been cleaning my glasses for
years with bank notes, and have never
found anything that makes them as
clear. If you use handkerchief it leaves
the lint behind, and ten to one the glass
is blurred. The money removes all the
dirt and grease, and leaves no trace of
itself. Am afraid of contracting some
disease of the eyes? Well, never
thought of that, and know that some
physicians claim that diseases are trans
mitted by money, since it passes through
SO many hands. No, 1 am not afraid;
and l will continue to use the bank
notes for this purpose. The texture is
soft, and it certainly removes dirt. In
deed, there is nothing like paper money
for polishing fine glassware. Albany

Twine from Marsh Grass.

A st. Paul (Minn.) special says that
through the efforts of an inventor
of Iowa articles which can be manu-
factured from common slough grass are
attracting considerable attention. The
farmers of the northwest have been pay
ing large prices for binding twine, and
it is this fact probably which started
George Lowry to investigate the uses
to which common marsh grass could be
put. He has made several inventions
which are an assured success. The bind
ing twine made by his method is strong,
durable, and, above all, cheap. While
the material from which ordinary bind
ing twine is made costs from $120 to
$3.50 per ton, slough grass costs from 50
to $5 ton, and the cost of making the
twine from either material is about the
same. A company has been organized
for the manufacture of this twine.
The company will also make cordage
of all kinds, bagging and mating from
marsh grass. Marsh grass makes good
rope in any size, and formed into small
twine it can readily be woven into coarse
cloth of great strength, which can be
put to variety of uses. The cotton
planters of the United States annually
raise about 100000 bales of cotton,
which require about 10000, 900 yards of
bagging. The jute bagging costs about
eight cents yard. The grass twine bag
ging can be made at about one cent a
yard less.-New York Tribune.

Her Foot or Her Life.

With her foot wedged between the
guard rails at the Short Line yards, Miss
Katie Wills, young woman of the East
End, was run down by a train of freight
cars. Her foot was ground off, but by
the rarest presence of mind she was saved
from death.
Miss Wills was out walking with girl
friend. While walking through the net
work of tracks in the yards Miss Wills
stepped upon one of the rails. Her foot
slipped, and in some way was caught be-
tween the track and guard rail. At
the same time her friend noticed train
of freight cars backing toward them, and
only short distance off. Seeing the i'm
pending danger she ran to the assistance
of the captive, and together they used
all their strength in trying to extricate
her foot. But it was caught as in wise.
On account of slight curve in the track
at that point the engineer did not see the
young woman until it was too late.
In a last effort to save her life, Miss
Wills threw her body from the track
but her left foot was still held firmly,
and through her agony of mind she saw
the wheels roll over her leg midway be-
tween the knee and ankle, severing the
member completely. The shoe which
had been cut off with the foot could
hardly be drawn from the track, so
tightly had it been wedged in.
Miss Wills is 18 years of age and is an
unusually pretty girl. The terrible strain
of the few seconds she was held between
the rails and the physical pain suffered
threw her into such condition that it is
feared her death will result. lt.-Louisville

Electricity Catches Elephants.

A novel application of electricity has
recently been made in elephant catching.
At recent capture of forty of these ami
mails, when the last of their unwieldy
bodies had passed the entrance into the
Khedda, the signal for barring their exit
was given, instantaneously and without
a word spoken, by means of an electric
wire. 1t is only a short time since petro-
leum superseded native vegetable oils
for lighting throughout the bazars and
villages of India. Electricity is now
taking the place both of petroleum or
coal gas in the great spinning factories,
for which it is peculiarly suited in hot
climate, owing to its GOODNESS and abb
sence of smel.-Philadelphia Ledger.

An Interesting Opinion.

A lady--we shall not tell her name
had most amusing experience with
Benjamin P. Hutchinson the other day.
This lady is deeply interested in chari-
table work, and ever and anon she lends
herself to the disagreeable task of So
Letting money contributions to such
worthy causes as she may happen to
have in hand. This is rather ungrateful
employment, but this lady applies her
self cheerfully to it, for she recognizes it
as part Of her Christian duty. 1t be-
fell that this worthy woman had occa-
sion to approach Mr.. Hutchinson the
other afternoon, and she did 80 in the
spirit of charming good nature, which
is, perhaps, her most conspicuous char
acteristic.
Now Mr.. Hutchinson is a wary bird,
and seldom it is that he is caught IN a
corner by anybody. But this particular
lady was SO exceptionally bright and
exuberant that the crafty millionaire
gave up a crisp $50 bill almost be-
fore he was aware of it. And then, as
we can easily suppose, he began to regret
it. On her part the fair solicitor was
considerably surprised; she had heard
that he was a hard, unfeeling man, yet
had he not responded promptly and
generously to her appeal? She was so
grateful that she insisted on shaking
hands with the old man, and as she did
so she remarked, feelingly, 1--WE do not
always get our reward here, Mr.. Hutch
inson, but we should remember that the
Lord loveth cheerful giver."
Eyes, I've often heerd tell answered
Mr.. Hutchinson dryly, "but I'm more
interested in fndin' out the Lords
opinion of cheerful beggar. Chicago

An Accomplished Eass Indian Girl.


One of the most interesting and strik.
ing figures among the Oxford students is
Cornelia Sorabji. tall, olive skinned
girl, as slender as the traditional Indian
princess who weighed only one rose leaf.
Clothed in her native dress of pale blue
Grape, embroidered with gold, with its
mantle draped over her head like q veil,
and shadowing her astonishingly large
and brilliant eyes, she makes q strange
picture among the rosy blonde English
women in their tailor gowns.
At 18, and professor of literature in
the university at Bombay, she still
thirsted for broader opportunities, and
found her way to Somerville, and at
tracted attention by her brilliant exami-
nation papers for the history and liter
ary schools. The government decided,
however, that woman with knowledge
Of law was needed to collect evidence in
the Zenanas, and she Immediately en-
tered upon legal course. After Six
months study her papers on Roman hw
were held by the examiners to be Ihe
most remarkable and able ever present
ed by any student of either sex in the
university.
Prince Dhuleep Singh's two daughters
are also members of Somerville, and on
its rolls stand very many Of the most
noted and noble names of England. The
outside world hears less of the work
done by women at Oxford than of those
at Cambridge, because of different sys-
tenn of comforting honors; but here is
really found the best example of women
freely sharing in university life, and the
best proof that neither young men nor
young women are the worse for that
community of study. Elizabeth Bisland

A Sarcastic Jehu.

For downright sarcasm as to the merits
of horse, recommend US to the worthy
jehu who offered a little advice to a
driver of pirate bus, one of whose
horses tumbled down the other day in
the Strand.
The horse, after strenuous EFFORTS, had
been got on it's feet, when Immediately
it fell over again on its side.
II say, old 'un," cried the rival driver,
''you must ave got i'm out O. bed too
early this mornin'. Run round to our
stable and they'll lend yer a pitchfork
to turn i'm over with. London Tit

Sitting Bulls Prophetic Dream.

One Bull, nephew of the dead chief
tain, related an interesting incident that
happened just the day before Sitting
Bull was killed. He said Sitting Bull
that day climbed to the top of one of the
highest neighboring buttes, where he
fell asleep, and dreamed of the startling
tragedy that would happen the next day.
He came down and told his people that
their great medicine man would be killed
on the morrow. How true his words
were was attested by developments the
next morning Cor. st. Paul Globe.

Given Away by His Daughter.


A somewhat unusual scene in an Epis-
copal church in Cardiff occurred not
long since. It appears that the pastor
took what he thought was seasonable
opportunity to reprove the members of
his church for their non-attendance at
Sunday morning worship. He imparti-
ality included his own family. AS soon
as he had concluded his own daughter
rose up and said that her father, when
he first awoke, could not rise unless his
hot water was brought up and the towel
was placed under his nose.
She related how boots had to be cleaned,
fires lighted and the breakfast prepared,
and then went on to describe how the
worthy clergyman required his book and
his coat, and his gloves, and his hat, and
his stick, and-his cake and his wine,
before he was ready to start to his work.
This was all detailed with minuteness
and volubility. The reverend father
kept no servant, and there was the house
hold work to be done, and, besides, he
insisted upon hot dinner served with
punctuality. Under these circumstances,
the lady pleaded, was it possible for her
to get to worship on Sunday morning?
The sympathies Of the audience were
with the daughter. 1t is not likely that
the good parson will soon repeat his
complaint of non-attendance. South

CANTON ARRESTED.

Marshal Charged With Murder.
He Is Accused of Shooting Tisdale
and ZONES In the Back.
Arrested at His Own Request to
Disproye Silly Rumors.
special:D Dispatch to The Leader

Special:Dispstch to The Leader
BUFFALO, WyO., Dec The first
arrest connected with the assassination of
Tfsdale and Jones was made this morn
ing, when Deputy United States Marshal
F. NJ. Canton of this city was arrested by
Sheriff Angus, on the charge of murder,
preferred by AL Allison, brother of lis
dale. This move was made at Cauton's
own suggestion. On last Saturday he
had an interview with a delegation OF
TIsdale's friends headed by Allison, who
accused Canton Of the crime. Ever since
the murders occurred the impression has
been industriously cultivated hat they
were the work OF retaliation on the part
OF cattlemen. Fred G. s. Hesse and
Canton have come under suspicion, the
former because he is a big stockman and
the latter because of his avowed opposi-
ton to r%ustlIng or range thieverY of any
sort. As soon as they learned OF the fact
that suspicion was directed toward them,
but mainly toward Canton, the latter in
olhlcd upOu ulcctluB luC lIituub Ol Nut
dead men. THIS was done, as has been
mentioned in these dispatches. At that
meeting Canton expressed his entire will
ingness to meet his cousors and stated
that the best way to probe the charges to
the bottom was to have him arrested
charged with the offense and then sift
whatever evidence was presented, This
suggestion was adopted at Saturdays
meeting but was not acted upon until to-
day. The preliminary hearing is set for
10 o clock tomorrow morning.
The arrest is a farce. The accused is a
cripple from inlammatory rheumatism.
He has been in this condition for weeks
past and paid a visit to Hot Springs,
South Dakota, from which he obtained
but little relief. He has been totally un-
able to mount d horse and little more than
able to crawl around. There is a score OF
reliable people in town who will swear
that Canton was in Buffalo at the time
the murder must have been committed.
Furthermore, during Canton's long resi-
dence in johnson county he has won a
reputationN as a fearless upholder of the
law.a a terror to evil doors of every de.
scription. He Is one of the last men in
the world that any one who knows him,
would accuse OF shooting a man in the
back. He Is perfectly capable and always
disposed to meet his enemies face to face
His acquittal is a forcgone conclusion.
Excitement over the bloody events OF
the past week has somewhat subsidized and
Sunday was a comparatively quiet day.

Miss Vincent sustained her reputation as
a versatile and clever actress. Her med

she was twice recalled

parts were very acceptably filed. the com.
pany being composed of very clever ant
capable actors.
Tonight the play will be Fygmdkot
and Gdldted with A Day in Paris for ar
afterpiece. The company carries som
handsome scenery for the production Of
Pggmdlion and Gdldtea and this very
bright comedy will be presented with
splendid scenic effect. Although price.
are but 25 and 50 cents, the Vincent com
pany give a performance equal to that tor
which many companies charge a dollar.
