the voice of man in ditch at Twenty
third and NJ streets. He drove to the spot

Mo-, over whose track last years

pension was sent to the American

further bids. A resolution was
passed to ask the legislature for an
appropriation to a State fair fund.

Advice About Canned Fruit.

Now that the season of canned
fruit is again upon us, housekeepers
will do well to repeat the caution
which forgetful maids need period
ically-to empty the provisions out
of the can as soon as it is odened
Often a mos dangerous acid is form
ed by the chemical action of the ali
upon the soldering of the cans.
1t is this acid, indeed, which is
responsible for much of the prejudice
against canned food. Many of the
reported accidents would, if they
could be thoroughly Investigated, be
found to haye resulted from kitchen
c~arelessness. The thrifty cook, who,
wishing everything in ample time,
opens her can of corn or peas an
hour or more before it is put into
the saucepan, exposes the family to
a danger which is none the less
serious because easily avoided.
Open the cam if necessary, but
empty their contents at once, and
never set a remnant away in them
for future use.

FOR COAL.
Philip Helwig Sinking a Shaft Near
Mexico.

For several years Glenn Smith
supplied Mexico to a large extern
with coal from his shaft just a mile
and a half northwest of Mexico
This property now belongs to Philip
Helwig, an industrious and enter
prising young man, who has exper
fenced miners work at sinking 6
shaft. Mr.. Helwjg says that the
first vein of coal near the surface il
two and one-half feet thick. The
second being 12O feet down is SAID
by experienced miners to be moi
less than four feet thick. Work is
being pushed rapidly and Mr.. Hell
wig has no doubt but that he will
be able to supply Mexico with his
coal in the near future. We sin.
cerely trust that this will prove 6
fact as it will insure for us cheap
fuel, which will be a grand thing

Missouri's apple crop for 1885,
was not a success, for the first time
in a number of years. c. c. Bell,
who has earned the title among
commission merchants as the zap.
pie king of Missouri, shipped
200 900 barrels out of the state in
1891. This year he could get to-
Egetf1er only about 10000 barrels IN
the same locality.
"The apple crop was a complete
failure this year," Mr. Bell said
the other day, land there are more
reasons than one to account for it,
but, as I am not authority on apple
growing, l will not express my
opinion. I will state, however, that
apples will be higher this year than
has been known before for ten
years. If the present winter is a
very severe one, the crop next year
will be about like the one this year,
in fact, it will virtually amount
to nothing.

A Sanetified College.

MEXICO, Mo-, Dec. 2O.-A school
under the control of the holiness
people is established in Montgom-
cry county, some of the peculiar
features of which are the rigid dress
restrictions. Young lady students
are forbidden such feminine vanities
as bangs and r%ufies, while pupils of
the baser sex are prohibited such
adornments as patent leather shoes
and gold jewelry. A collar button
belonging to one of the young men
was lost and upon being discovered
by a member of the faculty it was
taken to a jeweler in order that the
suspicion of gold-wash might be
verified or %disproved. The button
was pronounced a good brass imita-
ton and the young student thereby
gulltless.

The Slender WOman's Mistake.
e. Tia NoH Nork Norld


The slender woman's greatest
mistake is in having her clothes too
loose, believing that in this way she
hides the angles. In reality her
bodice should be fitted perfectly,
padding used if necessary, and a
reliance placed upon the trimming
to give apparent size. The lace
epaulettes, either on bodice or
wrap, will add to her breadth and
make her look more rounded, while
the lace cap has an equally good re-
suit. She can wear a short coat,
double breasted and with faring
revers of fur Of velvet. Indeed, it
may be said of her that everything
impossible to her stout sister is per-
Missile for her. A snuggly fitting
bonnet will be found most becom-
ing, and about her throat she can
have either a high, stiff collar OF
white linen, or the full, fluffy fur or
feather boa.

Genuine amber is becoming
scarcer every year, and it will not
be long before a real amber cigar
holder or pipe-stem will be a rar-
ity and a luxury. The true amber
is a fossil gum, which was produced
in large quantities by trees having a
resinous sap, which flowed down
the trunks and gathered in masses
at the roots. 1t is found in the
ground of marshes and other places
where forests fourished in former
times, and is also secured by dredg-
ing. The Baltic and Black seas
and the German ocean formerly
produced it in considerable quanti-
ties, but their supplies are now
pretty much exhausted. There is
a little satisfaction, however, in
knowing that the imitation amber
is just as good as the real.
