How ! Merchant IN ohio Failed.

A queer story is told by the Cincin-
natl Timcs-Star as to the failure OF
a Clermont County merchant a few
weeks ago. While in that city he
was attracted by the watches dis.
played in pawnshop window, and
stepped inside 10 examine them.
Two or three persons from his village
happened to pass and saw him. They
went home and gossiped about the
matter. a report was spread that he
was hard up, and had been seen pawn
ing his watch in Cincinnati. The
report injured h business, and his
creditors also began 70 press him. lr
short time he was compelled Il
make an assignment.

Ice.

Impure ice is as dangerous as i'm
pure water. Ice for domestic use
should never be gathered from a
source where the water before freez
ing was unfit for drinking purposes.
The idea entertained by some that
water in freezing eliminates its i'm
purities, is a dangerous theory, be-
cause it is false. Epidemics have
been traced to the use of polluted ice.
Analysis and microscopic investiga-
tions have shown ice to contain large
quantities of organic matter as well
as bacteria, which became active
when the ice was melted. The
germs of typhoid fever, and prob
ably of other diseases, may be impris'
oned in ice, and after liberation, by
melting, become active in the pro-
duction of disease.
BE as guarded in the selection of ice
as in the choice of supply of water.
Gather ice only from clean streams
and ponds. Purchase from no dealer
who does not follow this rule. Bull

} no Keen Gun. rom RustInr.

The best way to preserve gun
from rusting is to have ring of zinc
soldered round the barrel, or IL IL is
not convenient to do this, to have a
long stripof zinc soldered out of sight
underneath the barrel. The galvanic
action which is excited between the
zinc and the iron effectually prevents
the oxidation Of either metal, and as
long as the zinc remains in contact
with the iron not particle of rust
will appear on either the inside or
outside Of the barrel. --St. Louis

vhv We Wear Mourning.

The custom is outworn; it is an
anachronism in the nineteenth CEN
fury, says the North American Re-
view. 1t is unchristian; it clouds
the spiritual significance of the res
direction with the ever present ex-
preston of temporal loss. 1t is cruel;
it forces helpless and innocent people
into action, which entails privation
and unnecessary suffering. 1t is I'M
truthful; it makes false outward
show OF changes in sentiment. And
il Is essentially vulgar; for 1T presses
private affairs upon public notice; II
thrusts claims of fashion and frivolity
upon time which most greatly
moves the heights and depths of be.

worldliness into the tlercest throes
which can ever rend human nature

The Hennepfn Canal is under full

place when couple of hundred teams,
with implements and men to match,
are constantly traversing 1t, and this
is what is seen all the way between
lock 81 and Silver Lake and for a
mile on the upper side of Silver Lake.
The huge embankments look like
parallel railroad grades, with a deep
trench between them. Where they
have been finished they look as
though they had been "sand-papered, "
as the railroad men say of a piece of
especially trim ballasted track. The
numerous parties of visitors generally
drive through the canal, threading
their way among men and teams and
finding much to interest them.
Plans and Appropriations.
The Hennepin Canal takes its name
from the little town Of Hennepin,
situated on the Illinois River, in
Putnam County. The western ter
minus is at the mouth Of Rock River
as it enters the Mississippi, and its
eastern terminus is at its entrance to
the Illinois River little above the
town just mentioned. The esti-
mated cost of this entire work Is
Sc, 925, 900. This estimate, 1T is
thought, is ample unless contingent
cies should arise. The Hennepin is q

Millington, Kent county, on a sill Hin. a.
night, April 23j, last, were read on
Friday, Dec 9th, and another chapter
Of the noted case which, for sickeuing
brutality and beastiality stands without
a parallel in the history Of this S.ale
has been closed with u soeua that Will
long be remembered by those present.
Gathered i'll tho gloomy corridor OF the
lower floor of tho Cnestertown Jail
while Sheriff Edward J. Plammer WAS
reading the warrants, where Hon.
James A. Pearce, chief counsel for
tho prisoners; Rev. F. S. Dennis pastor
Of the African Methodist Episcopal
Church; Row. John F. Wallace, assistant
of the Same church; tho press rep
resentativos and jail officials. Il WAS
plain that the prisoners realized como
important svent was about to transpire
and they watched anziously through the
grated doors every movement, aud
listened expectantly for every word.
The sheriff first approached the cell Of
Moses Brown. who was already CLOSE up
to the bars, aud who had nerved himself
to meet any emergency. AS tho sheriff
began to read the warrant the doomed
man trcmblsd psrceptibIy, but povsr ut
tered word only boxing vacantly into
space. This is tho man who stousIy
denies being present at this murder.
By this time all the men were on their
feet and at the front OF their calls lis on
ing and watching every movement. In
the next Cell was Fletcher Williams.
probably tho real instigator OF the
horrible dssd and likely the most guilty
OF the whole gang. He listened sttensivsly
to the reading, but did not seem moved
in the slightest and WAS apparently
careless OF the doom that was awaiting
him. The next cell, eoatainiug three Of
the boys, Comegys, Baynard and
Emory, presented tho most pitiful soens
Of all. The boys were huddled close
together, standing against the front
bars and did not seem to realize the full
meaning OF the document, although
they know it was concerning their
execution. They watched the paper
intently aud gazed eagerly into the
face of the sheriff Emory's lips
quivered, but Comegys did not show
the slightest emotion. Brooks cell was
then approached. He has always been
perfectly calm aud ne listened with
interest to the reading. This man was
the equal partner with Williams in the
bloody deed. AS the sheriff stood before
tho two remsiuing boys HURT and
Benson, their nervousness had to some
degree disappeared.
Tbs Sheriff told the prisoners that
they should select spiritual advisors;
they could have anyone they wished
Moses Brown requested that Rev. F. S.
Dennis should be his adviser. Fletcher
Williams, i'll au unconcerned way asked
for Rev. B. Queeley, pastor of James
III. E. church. Comegys, Emory,
Brooks and Baynard chose Rev. Mr.
Dennis. The two youngest boys, Louis
Benson and Henry Hurtt, asked for
Rev. ]. F. Wallace who was their
pastor at Colts Station. They have
been supplied with Bibles, and every
possible thing is being done by Sheriff
Plummer to render their last days
comfortable.

Starting Cars by Telephone.

ot"ft'hS SaEs NY iC" phoht.
The latest method of starting street
cars In Denver is said to result in q
saving of at least so per cent over the
cost of the ordinary system. The
difficulty of maintaining schedule
time with q large number of cars is
well recognized and on many lines IL
a car be delayed by an accident for
quarter OF an hour or twenty minu.
les, the whole line will be so demor-
allied that schedule time will not be
overtaken during the whole day. In
the city of Denver there are seventy
four miles Of electrical and thirteen
miles of cable tracks, requiring 103
trains in daily operation. To obviate
the inconvenience which break
down Of any kind inevitably
causes o system of telephone cir
cults had been arranged. with various
call points, all communicating with.
the head Office. Every conductor on
arriving at the terminus of the route
reports the numb of
his car TO headquarters, and receives
in reply his proper leaving time and
any instructions that may be neces.
sary. The dispatch clerk Is in this
way advised OF the whereabouts of
each car, and Is very often enabled to
fill up q space from thirty to sixty
minutes caused by q parade" The
saving of starters at the various ter
mini is taken as q set-off against the
expense OF the telephones.

Pot Pies and How to Make Them.
From the New York Ledger.
No dish known to the average
housek eeper Is more commonly made
failure of than the ordinary pot pie
Do what she will, keep II covered
ever so carefully, keep the water up
to the boiling point, tiPtoe across the
floor to avoid Earring, indeed, use
whatever precau tons she may, when
the dish Is served the dumping is as
heavy as heavy can be, and the dis
couraged cook declares with emphasis
that she can't imagine the reosen why
she never can make good pot pie.
One reason of the failure is that people
try to make it too good They use
cream, butter, eggs and various in
gredien ts, all of which make the COM
pound too rich, and, and, as matter
Of course, the moment the air comes
in contact with 1t down it goes
Almost any one msy succeed in
making pot pie by following the
most simple directions: With flour,
cold water, a pinch of salt and the
usual proportion of baking powder,
make q paste which may, with great
care, be handled with the hands.
Turn it out on the pastry board and
pat it gently with the hands, using
just as little -four as possible to shape
IL into q cake OF even thickness. Then
lay this in the kettle over the meat
and vegetables, which must be near-
ly done. Boil rapidly for fifteen MIN
utes; then take it carefully from the
fire, remove all but the gravy. which
is TO be slightly thickened with fl Iur,
providing the dumping has not made
1t thick enough before, which is some.
times the case. Pour the gravy over
the dish and serve Immediately.
Made and treated in this way. Dump
lings will be light and digestible nine
times out of ten. A number of cooks
who have adopted this recipe say
that In years they have not had q
single failure.
