A Skeleton in the Crystal.

The aged DR.. Collier relates the fol-
lowing: In 1912 an old and worthy
friend, of whose strict veracity haven't
the least possible doubt, came from Burn
ham, England, with relative to trans
act some business in London. During
the time of my absence from home with
this relative, my friend, through sheer
curiosity, took up a small oval.mounted
crystal which stood near him on table,
and began to examine it. After looking
at it intently for few minutes and try
ing tc guess, as he afterwards told me,
what on earth such novelty could be
used for, he noticed that the surface Of
the instrument became clouded. This
be- at first attributed to his having blown
his breath upon it. He tried to remove
the deN-ike cloud with his handkerchief,
but his efforts seemed to increase the
cloudiness. Presently the cloud took
upon itself the form of the legs of an
ostrich, the toes and knee-joints being
clearly outline For a second they
seemed to open and close at the joints
like pair Of calipers. While gazing in
awe-stricken wonder and amazement at
this uncanny exhibition of the supernat-
ural, my friend noticed that the figure
was slowly but surely changing its form.
The ostrich legs had become those Of q
ghastly human skeleton, and almost in.
stantly the final change came, which
converted the cloudiness of the upper
part of the glass into ribs, vertebre, long,
bony arms, The whole surmounted by a
hideous, grinning skull. At this junct-
ure, according to my friends story, he
began to feel great oppression in the
region of the chest and numbness and
eiddiness in the head. He lost no time
in replacing the crystal upon the table,
and says that it was some hours before
he was able to throw of. the unpleasant
sensation which his curious experience
produced.
1t was not until nearly two years after
this that he ventured to tell me of the
circumstance; even then could not in
duce him to inspect the crystal again.
In conclusion I may remark that the
dear friend, who was absent with me at
the time, died at about the time Mr..
B. saw the skeleton dancing in the
crystal. Louis Republic.

THE "TILTER" HATS.

A line of hats that may be called the
"tilters" are specially graceful. The
crowns belong to one variety or another,
just as it happens, and the brims tilt
down one side and up the other, or down
in front and up behind, or down and up
all at once on all sides, always going the
right way, no matter which way they 60,
and always sure to be the prettiest hats
that their wearers ever had. The Tam
crown is favorite in these, and also the
bell crown. Sometimes the edge of the
brim is turned up, like the sailor brim
described, though rolling more; never
higher than half an inch, the little roll
makes pretty finish. Chip is the ma
terial most easily worked into these
shapes.-New York Times.

Old newspapers are said to make valu-
able anti-moth wrappers for furs and
winter clothing, the ink upon them being
nearly as repulsive to all kinds of vermin
as camphor or coal tar-paper. They are
likewise good to lay on carpets for like

they also form excellent envelopes for
vessels containing ice and fresh liquors.
A ropemaking. firm in England is
manufacturing new type of rope called
the anti-corcsive and self-lubricating

fills up the interstices of the rope and
makes it impervious to corrosion. The

A new way of annealing small pieces Of
steel is given by writer in the English
Mechanic. Heat the pieces as slowly as

boards, and on coming together around
it they form practically air-tight char.

apt to be found thoroughly annealed.

A German physician, DR.. King, claims
that he has discovered how to make an

His method consists in transforming the
cellulose into grape sugar, a substance
assimilable by the animal organism. The
biscuit is made by adding to this about
forty per cent. of meal of wheat, oats or
rye. Phosphates and all the bone ele.
ments may also be introduced. This
bread of wood glucose is intended to be
fed to cattle, for which it will take the
place of oil cakes and other feeds COM

THE COMING GLOVE.

There is a ne idea for fastening the
glove on the market this year. 1t is
called the "tirette" and consists of a
small cord, which runs through a couple
of eyelet holes and fastens under gilt
clasp, and when drawn up it gives the
hand that neat look anything snug about
the wrist is sure to impart. Some of the
new gloves have embroidered wrists in
the old time elaborate fashion of en-
broidering on leather. The new gray
giants de suede have more OF 8 greenish
shade than those which have been worn
all winter. Tan ecru gloves are quite
passe.-Chicago Herald.

HEROIC WAYS OF RAISING A FUND.

The Library Association of Otsego,
Mich, needs money. The usual means
of e1torting subscriptions having been
exhausted, forty women agreed to earn
money by individual efforts, and they
rightly argued that the more they at
tracted attention the better. The re.
suits have surpassed expectation. Mrs.
N. M. Mills peddled doughnuts in the
street. Mrs. Edsall, the bankers wife,
washed windows at twenty cents each.
Mrs. George Euston dressed as boot
black and had stand on street corner.
Mrs. L. D. Williams peddled corn salve.
Miss Maggie Smith went about as a
street beggar, and Mrs. Frank Lindsay

and a monkey, captured all the loose

We claim, and can substantiatef our
argument, that the Democracy is the
friend of sugar. We claim and the
records of Congress will bear us out,
that the Democracy have always ia
yored a tariff on sugar for revenue only.
We claim that sugar is one of the ar
tlcles that the Democracy has always
singled out, on account of it's peculiar
facilities, and will always single out
tor IL tariff. We claim that sugar is
only safe under a Democratic tariff for
event and that it is always exposed
TO danger under any other conditions.
We claim that the Democratic attl-
tude to sugar is the same now that it
always has been and we further claim
that the Democracy is the only friend
and can be the only friend that sugar
has. Believing this, with the record
to back us, we can only see danger
ahead in any desertion by the sugar
planter of Louisiana from his owl
friend.
Our doctrine is that it is better to re.
ly on the assertion of AN old time frienC
than to listen to the syren voice of /
life long enemy.-St. Mary Banner.
The Banners doctrine is sound an,
the ooner the sugar planters give il
their adherence to it, the better TO
their cause. That is the dcctrin
which this journal has been preachin
for some time in this neck OF the woods
and it intends to hammer at it as Ion
as it will continue to advocate Demo
cratic principles.
