Two Methods of Cleaning Pearls.


The susceptibility of pearls, even Of
the purest quality, to become yellow
and smutty in color by absorbing per-
spiration from continued wearing in
the hair, around the neck, on the arms,
etc, or through exposure or age is well
known, and though the major portion
of our readers are familiar with some
methods by which pearls so affected
may have their original brilliant color
restored, the following receipt will
prove a useful addition to the work
shop knowledge of many.
Boil the pearls for about fifteen min
utes in fresh cows milk, in which soap
has been dissolved; then take them
out, rinse them in clean water ard dry
with clean white cloth. Inspect them
to see if the desired results have been
obtained; if not repeat the method
several times. If they still have not
been improved try the following: Have
neighboring baker make for you a
small loaf of bread, in which before
the loaf is baked lay the pearls, either
strung upon a silk thread or closely
wrapped in piece of gauze; then let
the bread be baked pretty thoroughly
not to brown. y ueyer. When the
loaf is withdrawn from the oven let it
cool, then break it and take out the
pearls, which will generally be found
satisfactory and handsomely white

Hester's Grandson.

Little Hester has grown up brothers
and sisters and nephews and nieces
who are older and bigger than she is
herself 1t has never occurred to her
to be surprised at this; it is part of her
world as she found it. She has not yet
discovered that this state of things is
somewhat unusual.
Not long ago one of her married sis
tiers sent for Hester to come and see a
new baby, and accordingly the child
was taken by her nurse to visit this
new relative. She looked at the baby
in mingled astonishment and delight.
"Well, little sister" asked the baby's
mother, show do you like your new
nephewf"
"Oh, ! like him. the child answered
earnestly; "but he can't be nephew;
he is too small. But perhaps" she
added, upon second thought, he is
big enough to be grandson"
And as "Hester's grandson" is the
new baby known in the family -

An Auburn man thinks just twice as
much of dog intelligence now as he did
week ago. He owned dog and had
tired of him and had agreed to trans
fer him to friend who lives in the
south part of the city. He took him
in his arms, tied rubber coat over his
head and carried him down and deliv-
cred him. 1t was long distance and
he had no idea that the dog would ever
show up again about his own premises.
That night on reaching home the dog
lay in his accustomed place on the rug,
while the Auburn mans wife wore
curious smile of amusement. The co.
nundrum in the family is: How does a
dog know the way home9 One thing
Is now quite certain-that the dog can
stay where he is as long as he wants to.

Plans for Gigantic Structure Which 1t
Is Proposed to Use In Generating Elec-
trIcnl Power From the Falls.
HAMILTON, Ont, Aug. 17.-Col. Leon
ard Henl1le, of Rochester, who recently
laid before Mayor Blaicher, of this city,
and the officials of the Grand Trunk
railroad his scheme for Harvesting Nj
agara's water power, now states that
he is almost ready to make a start on
the undertaking. He proposes to con-
struct gigantic power house across
the brink of Niagara Falls for the pur-
pose of generating electrical power, to
be used for lighting, running trains
and operating all kinds of machinery.
This power he claims to be able to
transmit long distances.
Plans for the power house are now in
preparation. 1t will be 1000 feet high,
will contain 1000 windows and have
1860, 900 feet of floor capacity. The
materials used will be iron, steel, gran
ite, marble, glass and copper, and the
cost is to be s35, 600, 900. Col. Henkle
expects his enterprise to yield per
cent. on capital of 100000. Four

OWLS WANTED.

Scotland's Plague OF Nice, and Its Con-
sIderatIon at a Public Meeting.
In May last meeting of farmers was
held in Edinburgh to consider what
means should be taken in connection
with the plague of mice, or ''voles,"
which at present extends over the
southern counties of Scotland. There
was demand for the rein PRODUCTION
of owls, to the determination of which,
as well as of other birds and animals
which prey upon mice, the plague is at
tributed.
The chairman gave an account of an
owl, not before known in Scotland,
which had been introduced, and which
was said to be very fatal to mice; and
he made plea for the preservation of
the owls which already exist
What may be the result of destroying
natures equilibrium by eXterminating
owls, snakes and other useful creatures
of God which prey upon vermin is well
illustrated by the condition of southern
Scotland, as revealed in the addresses
and reports at this Edinburgh meeting.
One gentleman said he had gone with
government official who had looked
into the matter in RoXburgh, Dumfries
and Kirkcudbright. They went over
hundreds of acres where not a vestige
of vegetation was to be seen. The
mice had taken everything.
Another gentleman said that in the
high districts about Hawick every
farmer had had all his spare hands en-
gagged in killing mice for long time,
but the mice increased so rapidly that
no impression was made upon them.
The meeting passed a resolution call
ing for government commission to in
vestigate the matter thoroughly, and
see if some remedy could not be pro
vided In the meantime farmers were
urged Co encourage the preservation
and propagation of all birds and ami
mails which prey upon mice. -Youth'H

WIN Defy tho Commisslon.

CHICAGO, Aug. H. - Western and
northwestern lines propose to find out
just what authority is assumed by the
Interstate commerce commission. A
secret vote is now being taken among
them on an advance in the lumber rate
to that effect before the committee or
dered the reduction from Eau Claire.
The order of the commission was nulli-
fed by all the lines between Chicago
and Duluth making from all points the
three cent reduction ordered. This re-
duction involved loss of 20 per cent.
on the revenue from the entire lumber
traffic. This loss is being severely felt
by the railroads.

CowAN, Tenn, Aug. t5.-Free miners
of Tennessee have again asserted their
Independence. Saturday morning the
stockades sheltering the convict miners
at Tracy City were stormed, captured,
their inmates driven out and the build
ings burned to the ground.
At o'clock Saturday morning com
mittee of miners awoke f. O. Nathurst,
superintendent of the mines for the
Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad Com
pany, and asked him that the miners
be allowed as many hours work in each
week as the convicts. Mr. Nathurst
replied that he would submit the mat
ter to the company and do
what he could. The commit
tee then left and Mr.. Ma
thurst, knowing that an oath-bound
organization had been formed some
weeks ago for purposes unknown, at
once began to suspect trouble. He
went to Deputy Warden Burton, and
together they began to circulate among
the miners who were gathering in
groups and try to influence them to
keep quiet. Their efforts were of no
avail.
After the convicts entered the mines
about 400 armed men walked into the
stockade, and after clearing it of every
thing of value set it on fire and
burned it to the ground. They then
marched to the mine and ordered the
| convicts brought out, took charge
of them and the guards, loaded
them in box cars, and ordered Conduct
or Finch and Engineer Bolton to leave
Immediately. Being covered by guns
they were obliged to obey. Next the
telegraph wires were cut and a guard
was placed over everything in the
yards to prevent it from carrying the
news down the mountain. The train
arrived at p. m.
Capt. Burton with twenty-five guards
! has the $50 convicts in charge. Be
tween Sewanee and Monteagle the con-
victs cut the train in two and ten or
fifteen made break for liberty. Sew
eral shots were fred. Matt Wilson
(white) was killed and Tom Smith (col-
ored) wounded. Six or eight made good
their escape.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 15.-The dis.
patches announcing the uprising of the
free miners at Tracy City and the eX-
pulsion of the convicts was received
here by both Gov. Buchanan and the
officers of the Tennessee Coal Ss Iron
Company with surprise. Gov. Buchan'
an said, when questioned, that the
situation was yet too surprising to
him to venture an opinion as to the
states policy. He did say, how
ever, that the convicts would be
brought to the main prison here
held until the stockade could be re
built and then returned under coveI
of the militia as had been done at Goa
Creek.
Trouble is feared at Coal Creek mine
and at Oliver Springs mines. A com
mittee of three miners from Goa
Creek called on Gov. Buchanan ant
asked to have the troops removed
During the interview dispatch cam
announcing the burning of tn
stockade and release of the convict
at Tracy City. The governor tool
the request under advisement 1t
expected in many quarters that anoth
er general uprising will be the re
suit, as matters at the other convict
worked mines are in critical cond
ton,
