Duck Canneries.

A Captain DeHaas, just back from
gold-hunting trip in Alaska, suggests
that somebody might make fortune
by starting cannery for wild geese
and ducks at the mouth of the Yukon
river, where the fowl congregate in i'm
mense numbers in the spring of the
year. We print this for the edification
of the esteemed correspondent who
wrote from Paris the other day that he
would be glad to see sport with the gun
put an end to in America. A few of
Captain De Haas springtime duck can
neries, judicously established at the
right points in the far north, would
solve once and forever the spring shoot
ing question.-Forest and Stream.

Origin of DOmesticated Dogs.

The Eskimo dog is derived from the
wolf. Doubtless the first dogs which
were trained to serve mankind were the
jackals of Asia, which are to this day
very intelligent and docile when tanned.
There was kind of dog kept by the an
Gent Egyptians which was evidently
obtained by breeding from slenderly
built species that is wild in Africa at
the present time.-Interuie, in Wash

Repartee in the Classroom.

A member of the Harvard class Of
1860 is responsible for the following:
The elucidator of the mysteries of
chemistry was then Professor Job Cook,
very sedate man and never intention
ally guilty of a joke.
One day, in recitation, he said to a
student, "Mr. Slack, how do you slack
liner
The student, supposing the pun upon
his name to be intentional, answered
quick as a flash, "Cook it, sir"
OF course the class roared, but in
stead of enjoying the apt repartee the
professor took it as a personal affront
and reported Mr.. Slack for a reprimand.

Practical Savings.

For fruit stains, dip the spots several
times in hot milk. Keep flowers fresh
by putting pinch of soda in the water.
Keep a small box filed with lime in
your pantry and cellar; it will keep the
air dry and pure. Prick potatoes be-
fore baking so that the air can escape
this will prevent their bursting in the
oven. Soda is the best thing for clean
ing tinware; apply it with a damp cloth
and rub well, then wipe dry. For sore
throat, beat the white of an egg stiff,
with all the sugar it will hold, and the
juice of one lemon.-GOod Housekeep-

thought of that bad my sister done what
was right afterward. We did all IN our
power to keep her and Boose apart, but
by some means they got together and
planned To run away. We never knew
anything of it until after they were gone,
nut learned then that old man Boose
and his wife had hand in the arrange
ments. That was four years ago, and we
never heard of them again until j. a.
Boose sent us your telegram.
David Scott BoOse. whom YOU knew as
Dale Emmett, served a term in prison
when a boy for the robbery IF some
money and | believe watch.
| do not wish TO make il appear that
my sister was not in the wrong. for L
think she committed great sin. for
which ere this she has been brought TO
answer, and for which may God deal
with her as he alone sees ht say that,
although BOose was n good fellow IN
some ways. They went first TO Allie
gheny City, where we soon heard from
them. and one of my brothers went to
see Mary and try TO induce her to re-
turn and we would still take her ID, but
all persuasion was useless.
a short time after this Boose reap
peared for d short time and then disap-
peared suddenly and at the same time
some money was secured from the
Apollo Bank on forged checks, and boosc
was charged with the forgery.
Although BoOSc was capable OF DONG
anything. dc not believe he was guilty
of this forgery; yet there was never
bigger rascal than he, and had he been
a man ne would have fled when he
found he had won the affections of an
other mans wife. instead OF taking adj
vantage Of her wee kneSs.
Let me add that il was my desire 10
tell you the entire story when at ldch-
mond but old man Boosc would not al
low il. He even wanted me to give my
self an assumed name.
That Sabbath when we visited their
graves / felt that ! must tell you all,
but ! was held in check by Boose.

ANOTHER MANS WIFE.
AND LYING UNDER A FALSE NAME.
Emmett was Not the Name OF tho Family
Killed by Lightning Few Months Ago.
Story of Human Weakness.

A little over five years ago a family
arrived in this city consisting of a man.
a woman and three children. No one
knew from whence they came. but Daie
Emmett and his family settled in Fulton,
the thriving suburb at the eastern end
Of this city, and the man commenced
work at his trade as a carpenter.
The family conducted themselves well,
and Dale Emmett made the acquaintance
and won the respect of many of the best
people of that vicinity. He soon joined
Patrick Henry Council, No. u, of the
Junior Order of American Mechanics,
and his conduct as citizen was ex-
emplary in every way.
On the night of the Dist of July last
a terrific thunder storm passed over tins
city at 10 o'clock at night, and bolt OF
lightning hurled from the fury OF the
storm struck the house on Nicholson
street where Dale Emmett and bis family
lived and swept every soul of them INTO
eternity in a twnklng.
The details of the death and funeral
were given in the papers at the time, ana
are yet remembered by the public.
HOW IT cA8K OUT.
The fact Of an insurance on Dale En-
NETS life. the appointment of an adj
ministrator by the court TO take charge
of il. the subsequent visit of j. \. BOOse,
an alleged uncle of Dale Emmett, and

are incidents equally as familiar to every
one.
When Messrs. Boose and Wiley were
in Richmond they made the acquaint-
ance and received many cOurtesies from
Mr.. L. +. ThTockmOrtOn, assistant super
intendent of the Metropolitan Life In
surance Company. in which Dale I'm
NETT was insured. from which sprung an
intimacy between himself and Mr.. Wiley.
