HAPPENINGS OF INTEREST.

TIE finding OF skeleton at Scran-
ton, Pa. started police mystery, until
the bones were found to be those of q
calf
A VETERAN hunter Of Danforth, Me-,
in attempting to xiii huge bear with
knife, was carried three miles on the
animals back before the wild beast
died from the loss of blood.

Matthews gave mp Il package he was
carrying, then knocked the man down
with stone, and. recovering his pack
age. escaped.
A TERRIBLE method of suicide was
adopted by machinist of Waldheim,
Westphalia. He put the engine at it's
highest speed and then threw himself
against the fy-wheel, which struck his
head off at once and tossed his body
against the wall with crushing force.
Rather violent, but dead sure.
A BOX containing big snake, con-
signed to King & FranlSli1,'s circus, fell
and broke open in the Southern express
office at Birmingham, Ala. The snake,
seven feet in length, drove the other oc-
cupants from the Office, and compelled
the night clerk to take refuge in the
vault, where he spent hours before, the
snake was recaptured.
ONE of the largest devil fishes ever
caught in Puget sound was caught
near Port Madison the other day by
some fishermen. When first caught il
would measure, spread out, fifteen OF
twenty feet across from tip to tip Of its
arms On each of its eight arms were
over two hundred suckers, making in
all upward of sixteen hundred.
THE latest fish story comes from
Ocala, Fla, where the cook at res
taurant is alleged to have found q dia-
mond ring in fisSls stomach. The
ring is of handsome design. and contains
seven small stones set in q circle, with
one larger than the rest in the center.
Inside the band on the lower side are
engraved the letters S. Il. l.. The ring
is valuable one, probably worth from
one hundred to one hun dred and twenty
five dollars.

publican pdi W Will o0eIAo 1elAA AAA' Vow
cation.
And if the people would appreciate
the regeneration If an average re-
publican financier let them turn to the
outgivings of the present secretary
of the treasury, who is extolled as a
statesman because he has the happy
faculty of money getting through the
sale of cottons. Mr.. Foster indorses
the statement of subofficial regard
ing the condition of the national
finances. He agrees there need be no
difficulty in carrying on the operations
of the government because OF the ex-
penditures of the billion-dollar con-
gress. 1t is only necessary to note one
of the means to be adopted by this sa-
gacious tinancier to understand how
fully he meets the requirements OF re-
publican policy. He says:
AS to the sl0o,O 900 of gold reserve, it is
held against the s350,0OO,OOO greenbacks. But
these notes outstanding are legal tender, and
the government can and would use this gold re-
sarye il it needed to on pinch. 1t should,
therefore appear in the debt statement as
available cash.
No fatist need ask better indorse-
ment of his absurd claims than is pre-.
scented here by the republican secreta-
ry of the treasury. In this declaration
from the head Of the treasury depart
ment is found full warrant for the as
sertion by the fiatists that the so-called
reserve would never be of value to the
holders OF. the greenbacks should occa-
sion require it's use by the government.
These extremists will find in the posi-
ton of Mr. Foster Indictment to fur
Their attempts to unsettle the financial
condition of the country by demanding
the withdrawal Of the gold reserve for
the payment of the Understanding
Sc curities of the government. If they
succeed in placing power in the hands
of ignorant demagogues by this cxhi-
bition of financial policy, then will the
republicans controlling affairs under
this administration find it difficult to
satisfy the people that they have erred
through mere ignorance. There is a
blunder that trenches closely on crime.
If it were needless to maintain the
coin reserve, then have the people been
taxed unnecessarily for the last twenty
years. If it were necessary, then must
the sum be held sacred for the uses of
the people when wanted. Chicago

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

That fish may be scaled much easier
by dipping into boiling water about a
minute.
That fish may as well be scalded if de.
sired before packing down in salt, though
in that case do not scald them.
Salt fish are quickest and best fresheu-
ed by soaking in sour milk.
That milk which is turned or changed
may be sweetened and rendered fit for
use again by stirring in little soda.
That salt will curdle new milk, hence
IN preparing milk porrldge, gravies, etc.,
the salt should not be added until the
dish is prepared.
That fresh meat, after beginning to
sour, will sweeten if placed out OF doors
in the cool of night
That clear boiling water will remove
tea stains and many fruit stains Pour
the water through the stain and thus
prevent it spreading over the fabric.
That ripe tomatoes will remove lux
and other stains from white cloth; also
from the hands
That a tablespoonful of turpeutine
boiled with your white clothes will aid
in the whitening process.
That boiled starch is much improved
by the addition of sperm or a little
salt, or little gum arabic dissolved
That beeswax and salt will make your
rusty fiat irons as clean and smooth a
glass. Tie lump of wax in rag and
keep it for that purpose. When the
irons are hot rub them first with the wax
rag, then scOur with a paper or cloth
sprinkled with salt.
That blue ointment and kerosene
mixed in equal proportions and applied
to the bedsteads is an unfailing bedbug
remedy. and that coat of whitewash is
ditto for the walls of a log house.
That kerosene will soften boots or shoes
that have been hardened by water and
render them as pliable as new.
That kerosene will make tin tea kettles
as bright as new. Saturate wooden
rag and rub with it. 1t will also remove
stains front he clean vanished furniture
That cool rainwater and soda will re-
move machine greace from washable
fabrics.

Many a man signs his death warrant

There isn't any place in Gods service

The religion of Christ never puts a

No man can ask G cd for much who is

Birds with bright feathers do not al

The preacher who lives only in his
