John b. Morse, an engraver, attempted
suicide this morning by cutting his
throat. Morse was a middle aged man,
slightly below the average height, and
was well-known parsonage around the

had apparently no very deep trouble
weighing on him.
Early this morning he entered his work
shop in the Baker block, 235 Westminster
street, and locking the door proceeded TO
rummage through the various drawers
and cupboards, probably in search Of the
weapon with which TO commit the deed.
At o'clock Mrs. Kay, the wife Of DR..
Kay, dentist, who occupies rooms directly
across the corridor, heard Morse stagger-
ing around and then heavy fall. AT the
time she thought that he was probably
lifting heavy piece of work which, prov
ing too much for his strength had fallen
TO the floor. Soon afterward boy came
70 the door, and raped loudly for adj
mission, but did not succeed in getting
any response. He called TO the inmate
several times but without avail.
AT this point, George X. Burden, who
occupies bench in the shop, came in and
endeavored TO open the door, which was
locked. Suspecting that Mr. Morse might
be sick he made haste TO unlock the door,
and rushed into the apartment. The in
terror was dark, all the curtains being
drawn close. and heavy smell as of chic
roform pervaded the air. Mr.. Burden
made haste to open the windows, and in

WILKESBARRE, Jan. 1.-THE old work
ings in the Hartford mine at Ashley in
which twenty y-eight men were shut in by
a cave in and killed by an explosion two
years ago have been discovered to be on
fire and the mine has shut down. The
discovery was made by one of the inside
foremen who on putting his hand into n
stream of water flowing from mass of
coal and debris found it qnite hot. An at
tempt will be made TO get at the fire

HOW To MAKE GOOD COFFEE.


Coffee had been In use in Eng and
for about 100 years when Count Rum
ford wrote extensively on coffee max
ing, and his text is fresh and crisp
reading to-day. He used the porcelain
or earthen coffee pot and perforated
earthen strainer on the top of the pot.
to filter through.
An improvement has been made on
! Count Rumford in substituting a
cotton flannel, or flannel bag for
his perforated diaphragm of earth
enware, which ~abbreviates the time
needed to filter. The best pot for
making coffee is n in which the pot
is earthen and the bag, of cotton, ID
suspended, at the top. The best re-
suits are produced by having the coffee
ground extra fine while it is hot and
put into an air-tight receptacle. When
a can of this ground coffee is opened
its odor pervades the whole apartment,
as the volatile oil has not had o chance
to escape.
In Hayti they roast, grind, and use
their coffee at once.
To make good coffee:
First-Have the coffee good, fresh,
ground very fine.
Second-Pour hot water into the
coffee pot, SO as to heat it thoroughly
before use.
Third-Put for an ordinary family
a teacupful of coffee, prepared as
above, into the bag at the top of the
open heated pot.
Fourth-Pour on boiling water until
sufficient coffee is made, Renew as
required.
The process is one OF displacement,
such as is used in pharmacy. 1t is
wonderful with what facility roasted
coffee imparts its virtues to boiling
water. Probably no fruit gives up its
virtues SO rapidly. A good cup of
coffee can be made in one minute in
this way.

followers are lovely, Love Is noWer-nke.
In some of the large cities where chrys-
lnthenums and other flower shows are
annually held, 1t has become a Gus
tom on breaking up, TO send the
remaining flowers to the city hospitals.
If those who had been daily through
the flower week, admiring the fringed
Japanese beauties, the dewy, fragrant
roses and the brilliant carnations,
could have seer the comfort they
brought to the sorrowful and suffering
inmates of ward aud dormitory, they
would have believed fully In the mis-
sion of flowers. Sex children stretched
out their Ianguid arms and begged for
flowers TO be laid upon their pillows,
men with b~andaged limbs held them in
unmutilated hands and smiled at their
beauty; women on beds of pain forgot
for a time their sufferings as they look
ed into the sweet faces of the blossoms
and smelled their fresh fragrance.
The prize chrysanthemum with Its
royal %colors, and twisted and incurved
petals, was held as some precious thing
in the worn bands of an aged woman.
The white rose, worthy to deck the
bridal of a queen. lay nestled against
the f~ever-hushed cheek of a bearded
man. whose matted hair and rough
hands showed that he was a son of toll.
Upon a white cot lay a beautiful, white
orchid almost priceless in value. Thin,
transparent fingers handled it lovingly,
and a smile of peace came into the face
where already the shadow OF death had
fallen.
Here was a young mother claspine
her babe of a few hours old, and be-
tween them was dropped a handful Of
blushing rose-buds. And so the flowers
went on their missions of love and held
a court as royal as when wealth and
beauty and fashion gazed upon theii
stately beauty at the lower show.

ODD BUILDINGS FOR THE FAIR.


There is every indication that the
Worlds Fair-or, more properly, the
Columbian Exposition--to be held in
Chicago in 1893 will be the most stu

world will be represented, although
our country will naturally monopolize
the greatest share of the space and ex-
hibits.
1t is expected that, in addition to the
Exposition buildings proper, nearly
all foreign nations and every home
State will erect a building bearing its
name, and which shall serve as q head
quarters for the visitors from that
special district. This ia the same idea
that was SO successfully carried ont at

The buildings to be reproduced are
