Incident of metropolitan Life.

Down on South Broadway, standing
beside a stairway which leads up stairs
to the office of an electro-lnedical COM
pany, there stands a little glass case in
which is displayed the life size figure Of
a human leg from the thigh down.
The other day two very we'll dressed
young men were standing in front Of
the case. Two or three other people
were staring over their shoulders to see
what it was made the noise.
Finally n young a said to the
other very solemnly:
In five minutes that leg will begin
to move"
His companion looked at him very
wisely, pursed his lips and nodded his
head. Then they both walked away.
The other people stood in front OF the
case for half AZ hour waiting for the leg
to move. Suddenly a thought seemed to
strike one of them. Then the same
thought occurred to another member of
the group, and SO, n by one, they 81
lently stole away.-New York World.

We Are With You.
Franklin Times.l

THE DURHAM GLOBE is making strong
and earnest efforts to raise a creditable
sum, by subscription, to defray the ex-
pense of an exhibit Of the states resources
at the Worlds fair, which is to be held in
the city Of Chicago. THE GLOBE heads
the list with $3.50, and urges all patriotic
people in the state to join in. While the
bank account Of the Times will not bear
a very large subscription, we desire to
say that our heart is right with you,
Brother Fairbrother. The state should
be well represented, and the one thing
needed to make a grand exhibit is a sufi-
cient amount of money.

Cure for SeasiCkness.

A correspondent says that the drink.
ing Of salt water is a perfect cure for
seasickness. though it makes the drinker
very miserable for a few inmates after
he takes the cure. The sailor who rec
commended it to the sufferer in question
accounted for it by saying the stomach
on board snip is in a very sensitive state,
and that the salt water pickles it So
that it gets hardened to conditions which
had previously ~rcvolted it.
If that were the explanation, it must
be "A very rapid and miraculous kind of
picking process that is effected by a pint
of salt WAGER, not, in all probability,
long retained. But whatever the ration
ale of the supposed sailors remedy"
may be, any quick remedy for so fright
full a distress is worth trying, and the
assertion of the sailors is said TO De that
it never fails.-St. james Gazette.

A FrieodIy and Quick Solution of Chill
ian Trouble Expected.

hoA
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The entire con.
idential force of the state department is
engaged in copying documents relating
to the CHILEAN controversy, and it is re-
sarded as reasonably certain that a spe-
cial message from the president will go
in to congress, if not on it's reassembling
on Tuesday next, just as soon thereafter
as both houses shall be in condition to
give the matter attention. According to
the best obtainable information, there
are three important facts which divest
the war-like rumors of the past few days
of nearly all their significance.
First-The basis of negotiations has
been transferred absolutely from Santi-
ago to Washington.
SecOnd-The CHILEAN government has
indicated, through Mr.. Montt, its repre-
sentative here, a willingness to submit
the questions Of fact in dispute to arbi-
~tration.
Third-The president will lay before
congress the whole correspondence, and
may possibly accompany that transmit
tai with a recommendation that he mat
ter be referred to the arbitration of the
Mexican minister in Washington, Mr..
Romero.
SignOr Don Pedro Montt, the CHILEAN
Minister, is himself the authority for the
first of these statements. Mr.. MOntt
says that if the questions in the contro-
versy had been left to Mr.. Blaine and
himself, q settlement would have been
arrived at long before this. The chief
difficulty, he says, in the way of an ad-
iustment, has arisen from the strained
relations between United States Minister
Egan and the CHILEAN government. All
matters are now taken out Of that chan
mel, and the correspondence is being
conducted direct from here, without the
intervention of our minister at Santiago.
This removes one great source of
friction, though at the same time leaving
the American minister in an anomalous
position, from which it is thought he
will shortly be relieved in some manner,
either by a leave Of absence or otherwise,
just as soon as the perplexing matter Of
the Balmacede refugees is adjusted.
The suggestion that arbitration is to
be resorted to seems to rest upon good
authority. The question involved is one
of fact, not one of construction. If the
facts are as contended for by the United
States, Chill, it is said, will not dispute
the conclusion that an insult was offered
to the uniform of the United States, for
which an apology and reparation may be
justly asked, and may, with equal justice
and no loss Of self respect, be accorded
by Chilli.
That Minister Romero, who is very
friendly to. both Chill and the United
States, should be selected as an arbitrai-
tor, is natural. lie is the Dean of the
Diplomatic Corps, and the oldest Minis
ter in residence here.

FACT AGAINST FICTION.
An Instance of the Misleading Character
of Circumstantial Evidence.

An Instance of the Misleading Character
of Circumstantial Evidence.
There is no Pigment Of the magma
tion-if it is at all within the limit Of
nossibilities-more curious or strange
than some things that actually happen.
The following is an instance in proof OF
this:
| A few years ago Frank Millet, the
| we'll known artist, war correspondent
and story writer, published a short story
in a leading magazine which had as its
| principal feature the mysterious killing
of q Partisan artist in his own studio.
| A web of circumstanGal evidence led to
| the arrest of a model who had been in
the habit Of posing for,him. But through
| some chain of circumstances which the
writer of this has now forgotten, the
murder-if murder it can be called
was found to have been caused by the
| discharge of a firearm through the force
of capillary attraction. The firearm was
used by the artist as a studio accessory,
and was hung in such a hat he
was directly in line with it. It's dis
| charge occurred when he was alone in
his studio.
The story was a vivid and ingenious
fight of the imagination. Now for its
parallel in fact.
The Albany Law Journal tells of the
arrest of a man upon the charge of kill
ing his cousin. The dead mar was
found lying upon a lounge about 8
o'clock in the afternoon with a 32-caliber
ball in his brain. The cousin, who had
an interest of 800, 900 in his death, was
alone with him in the house at the time.
The discovery of the real cause of death
was due to the lawyer of the accused,
who took the rife from which the ball
had been fired, loaded and hung it upon
the wall, and then marked the form of a
man upon a white sheet and placed it
upon the lounge where the man had
been found.
Then a heavy cut glass pitcher Of wa
ter was placed upon a shelf above. The
temperature was 90 dogs. in the shade.
The pitcher of water acted as Il sun glass,
and the hot rays Of the sun shining
through the water were refracted di-
rectly upon the cartridge chamber Of the
rifle. Eight witnesses were in the room
and a few minutes after 3 o'clock there
was a puff and a report, and the ball
struck the outlined form back of the ear,
and the theory of circumstantial evil
dence was exploded.
This is interesting, not only because
the real occurrence is quite as strange as
the imagined one, but because the fact
came after the fiction and paralleled it
so closely.-Detroit Free Press.

as a splitting OFF from the Amalgamated AS

vassed and reported and denied for some
weeks past. Upon the completion of the
new organization those now members of the
Amalgamated Association who are eligible
to membership in the new union will with
draw from the association.
The question of extending substantial aid
to the locked-out1 1men ut Homestead was
warmly debated ar last nights meeting. and
it was decided to give one days wages every

Tanning Skins.

After having cut off the useless parts
and softened the skin by soaking, re-
owe the fatty matter from the inside
and soak it in warm water for an hour.
Next miE equal parts of borax, saltpeter
and glauber salts (sulphate of soda) in
the proportion of about one-half ounce
each for each skin, with sufficient water
to make a thin paste. Spread this with
a brush over the inside of the skin, ap-
plying more on the thicker parts than
on the thinner. Double the skin to-
gether, flesh side inward, and place it
in a cool place.
After standing twenty-four hours
wash the skin clean and apply in the
same manner as before q mixture of one
ounce soda, one-half ounce borax and
two ounce hard white soap melted
slowly together without being allowed
to boil; fold together again and put
away in a warm place for twenty-four
hours. After this, dissolve four ounces
alum, eight ounces salt and two ounces
%saleratus in sufficient hot rain water to
s%aturate the skin. When cool enough
not to scald the hand, soak the skin in it
for twelve hours, then wiring out and
hang it up to dry. When dry, repeat
this soaking and drying two or three
times, till the skin is sufficiently soft.
Lastly, smooth the inside with fine
sandpaper and pumice stone.-Nor'west

New ORLEANS, April l5.-The Chi
cago train of the Illinois Central, which
left here during the afternoon was held
up at $50 by four men at a point just
below Independence, La. Two men
boarded the train at Hammond Station
and covering the engineer and fireman
ordered them to go ahead and take the
siding at Independence so that the down
train could pass. After the down train
had passed, two other men who were
standing on the track joined their con-
federates and ordered the train backed
to the seventy-seven mile post. The
men then at the point of pistols made
the engineer and fireman go back and
open the express car door. They robbed

Feed for Milk Cows.

One of the premiumherds of Holstein
cows at the Essex county cattle show
last fall wa fed as follows, as reported
by the manager of the farm: "The sum-
mer feed of these COWS has been pasture
which is small for the number of COWS
kept, but it has an abundant supply of
pure water, and plenty of shade trees;
and they have been fed with two quarts
gluten meal and two quarts shorts in
morning, and with two quarts cornmeal
in evening, with dry hay or corn fodder
twice a day.
"The winter feed consists of ensilage
(corn) feed in morning, and good Eng
lish hay feed in afternoon, with four
quarts bran and two quarts meal fed
with the ensilage, and same quantity of
grain fed dry, before giving them the
hay in afternoon, and watered twice a
day in the barn, and carded and brushed
once a day. Those cows giving a heavy
flow Of milk are MIXED three times a
day, and fed grain three times a day.
The milk is weighed and recorded at
each milking. The above is the grain
feed for COWS. Young COWS are fed
from one-half to three-fourths the above
amount. "-American Cultivator.
