A scrubbing Brush for Potatoes.

It is next to impossible to wash
potatoes perfectly clean by hand.
The use of a little scrubbing brush,
such as may be purchased at from 5
to 10 cents, will soon make their
Jackets fresh and clean, so that they
will be fit to be brought on the table
roasted.

London Walters.

There are 1000 Italians in London
who serve in the Italian cafes and
restaurants. In some of these they
have to pay for the privilege, and in
others they receive nothing in direct
wages, but they are fed at the cost of
the proprietor and recoup themselves
in the tips. A smart man in we'll
frequented street earns about $40 a
week

A Western Idea.

The latest fad in the West is
shoe party. They stretch sheet
across the room and the ladies stand
behind it and stick their feet under
it so you can only see their shoes.
Then you go along and pick out pair
of shoes and the lady who is in them
you take down to supper.

Primitive People.

There is no machinery in the Sierra
Leone Islands except the seWing-ma-
chine. The colony is 1913 years old,
and contains $4,000 people without a
sawmill or any other kind of a mill to
do any kind of woodwork.

built the Clay Street Hill Railroad of
San Francisco in August, 1873. The
system, says Harper's Weekly, con-
sists simply of an endless wire rope
placed in tube (having narrow
slot from one-half to three-quarters
inch wide) beneath the surface and
between the rails, maintained in its
position by means Of sheaves, rollers
or wheels. The rope is kept contin-
uously in motion by a stationary
steam engine at either end Of the line
Or at any convenient point between
the two extremes. A gripping at
tachment at the end of vertical
steel rod connected with the car and
passing through the narrow slot in
the tube transmits the motion of the
cable to the car.
The speed at which the car moves
is determined by the rapidity Of the
cable and this is regulated by the rev.
Olutions of the driving wheel at the
stationary engine. The rope is made
of steel wire about three inches in
circumference, is supported every
thirty-nine feet on eleven-inch
der the slot, but to one side of it, to
prevent sand and drift from falling
on the rope and to enable the
foot of the gripping attachment to
pass by and under the upper sheaves
and over the lower sheaves in the
tube. The connection between the
cars on the street and the travelling
rope is by means of this gripping at
tachment, as shown in the illustra-
ton. The grip is worked by lever
and is the one now generally en-
ployed by all the companies. 1t is
formed of two frames, one sliding in
side the other The outer one is Sc
cured to the grip bar on the forward
truck by bolts, aud carries the lower
jaw; while the inner frame, which
slides up and down upon the outer
one, carries the upper jaw, the quad
rant, the operating lever and the adj
justing mechanism, and is held in
place bvguide plates extending across
the inside frame, and between which
it slides. The frame carrying the
jaws passes through the slot directly
down alongside the cable without off
set. The grip bar, on which these
parts are mounted, is secured and
supported by frame on the running
gear or truck, and not on the car
itself
When the car is at standstill the
cable passes along over the chilled
iron grOOVed rollers at each end of the

ner frame it rests on the moving ca
bic and pushes or presses it tight on
the rollers before pressing it on the
lower die Gradual motion is thus
impaired to the car without jerk or
lar. A still further downward mo-
ton of the upper die forces the rope
or cable on the lower die, the cable
thus being held tightly between the
dies. A reverse motion of the lever
raises the frame and upper die and
releases the cable and allows it to run
through freely without imparting any
motion to the car, which is then
brought to standstill by the action
of the brakes.

About two weeks ago he broke down on
the stage and that was the Last Of him ~ 9
minatrsl performer. The next heard Of
him he was picked up denented IN the
strsats Of Ei Paso. His wife heard OF hla
condition and went after him and brought
him to BROOKLYN. where he was placed tenn
p~orarily in the Flatbush asylum.
The stories told Of the cruel treatment 70
which the poor fellow has been subjected
by his t%honghtless tormentors are such az
to dispel all doubts rs to ths influence they
must have had upon one whoae mind was
constituted as his was, and to leave small
cause for wonder that he is insane. Tn one
occasion while no was asleep y lay figure
of which, covered with u wet glove, was Ing
across his face. He awoka, screaming with
fight, and ~ he imagined. III the coid ana
clammy grasp Of a corpse.
On another Occasion. as he entered q
dark drsssing-r room, a grinning skeieton,
him. lying on a shelf. He fell in spasms,
and while unconscious the cause OF his
fright was removed ana he never knew
whether he had seen Il ghost or was tor
mented by some terrible hallucination.
Or still another occasion Shields. while
asleep in his room, was awakened by a
scratching on his door and was Mortified at
seeing a human skull swinging to and fro
near tho ceiling. He WAS too much fright
ened to speak and his tormentors. also
frightened by his silence, burst open tho
door. He was found curled up under tho
bed clothing insenslble. The Sku had
been tied to a stick and poked through tho
open transom by some foolish trickster who
stood on q chair in the hall just outside the
door,. ILL.,
Once he found n marble tombstone with
his name on it in black letters. glowing
with PHOSPHORUS, staring at him from thp
foot of his bed: then his trunk, was nailed
to the ceiling of the house 80 he could not
move it, and again y sheet-iron stove
feet from him..
The last act in the awful drama was
played on him at Omaha about two weeks
ago. He was warned by his tormentors
not to get on the proper train for Denver,
where the show was to stop next,
because every seat contained Il
tiend waiting to take his life. He
took another train and was carried to Ell
Paso, where, rs before stated, he was sub
sequsntly found, . hopeless maniac. He is
in constant fear Of death in some myster-
ious and violent manner. and his mental
is attributed to the treatment to
which he has been subjected.
Besides 4 wife, who is an actress, Shields
has q daughter five years of age, who is
with her mother. 1t is not a case Of charity
or neglect, but OF affectionate care and
wifsly protection. There are ample means
to pay for his care and maintenance. but
his friends sincerely hope he may recover
by rest ana proper treatment.
