A Quiet Opinion.

NJ. Got. the famous old comedian
Of the Comedie- Franchise (says the
Stage), can occasionally be funny of
the stage as we'll as on. The other
day an author was reading his drama,
when, turning around, he perceived
that the great comedian had fallen
asleep. He turned and reproved the
sleeper. How was it possible, he
argued, for man to express an opin-
ion of a play when he was sound
asleep? NJ. Got rubbed his eyes and
remarked, with yawn. to the angry
dramatiSt: "Sleep is an opinion"

fectant and deordorant called Saur-
don has been commenced at Maryhill,
England. 1t is residual product OF
an uncommon kind of black stone
shale, which is composed of animal
and vegetable remains, is remarkably
light and yields large proportion Of.
heavy volatile oil. The oil is extract;
ed by distillation, and the residual
product is reduced to grains of differ

Seamless Boats.

There is a growing demand for the
seamless boat, which seems to be able
to stand any amount Of rough work.
This boat is pressed out Of an ingOt
Of steel and shaped by hydraulic
power, and it fulfllls all the require
ments of an ordinary boat in re-
markably ingenious manner. 1t is
claimed for these boats that they will
last twice as long as wooden ones,
that there is less danger Of their cap
sizing, and that they are less liable to
be affected by changes OF climate.
The method by which the seamless
boat is constructed is larger applica-
ton of the method which has long
been used in this country for manu-
featuring cooking utensils and other
articles Of small Dimensions

CHAPTER III.

Marion and her companion, Judith
Kredge, saw John Oakburn prone upon
the floor beside a small writing table
which had been overturned. He had
fallen face downward and blood had
trickled down the side of his neck and
formed little pool upon the white floor
beside his head.
For a moment Marion seemed about to
faint and she chung to Judith kredge
dumb with horror, while her blood SEEM
ed turning to ice in her veins, and she
experienced painful contraction Of the
heart
Judith Kredge was more composed,
but there was terror in the expression of
the woman's hard, immobile features,
and tremor in her harsh, shrill voice,
as she said:
This is murder and robbery, too, 1
think. See, the safe is open.
As she spoke she pointed to. large
safe in the side of the Office, the door of
which stood wide open.
With al effort which cost all the will
power of which she was capable, Marion
regained her strength and sprang to her
fathers side. With the lamp in her
hand she knelt beside him and scanned
his livid face.
If there had been hope in her mind
that the vital principle was not yet ex-
tinct. it was crushed as she gazed upon
her beloved parents features. for she
saw that he was indeed dead.
~Poor father. Poor father" walled
Marion in heart-broken tones, and bitter
tears streamed down her cheeks and fell
upon the livid face where the dread
white shadow rested.
Judith Kredge stood watching the be-
reaved girl, and there was strange ex-
ultant expression in her venomous eyes.
They have killed my father to rob
the SAFE" said Marion, presently, and
the sound of her voice seemed to arouse
Judith Kredge. for she cried:
yes; and we must not delay. The
alarm must be given"
Run to the door and call the police.
You may be heard; and call Mr.. Har-
land said Marion
.Yes, yes. To think that your father
should be murdered here in his Office and
we could not help him." answered the
woman. And, muttering to herself in
an excited way. she ran to the street
door and threw 1t open.
The next moment her shrill, harsh
voice rang out upon the night
Help! Police! Murder!" she shrieked
It was cry which, heard st the dead
| of night, might well startle and thrill
| the stoutest heart

Designs on Glass.

SO-called diamond ink for writing
on glass is compound of fluOric acid
and barium; the latter has no effect,
it being simply a white powder to
give body to the acid. The ink can
be used with rubber hand-stamp,
and it should be allowed to remain
fifteen minutes, when the barium
will brush off, leaving the design on
the glass.

Snakes.

n novel use of electricity has been
made in India for the prevention Of
the intrusion Of snakes into dwell
ings. Before all the doors and around
the house two wires are laid, con-
nected with an induction apparatus.
Should a snake attempt to crawl over
the wires he receives a shock of cleo
tricity which either kills him or
frightenS him into hasty retreat.

Queer Things the JaPs Believe.

The japanese believe in more
mythical creatures than any other
people on the globe, civilized or saw
age. Among them are mythical ami
mails without any remarkable pecul-

with supernatural attributes; such
as a tiger which is said to live to be
1000 years old and to turn as white
as a polar bear.

How to Treat and Feed Cows.

Prof. Robertson, Of. Canada, said in the
last New York dairy convention that he
knew Of man in the province OF Quebec
who had four cows In 1888 they gave
seventy-elgbt pounds of butter each. He
commenced feeding little corn and bran,
and ii 1889 they gave 13I pounds of but
ter each. He kept increasing the ration
and good care, and in 1890 il was 20415,
AID this year it will be $50 pounds. This
shows what mtn car do with the common
COW. 1t also shows what coed feeding
will do.
Some one sensibIy declares that exercise
is positively necesf airy on the part Of the
dam for the proper development of the
young she carries. Much better results
may be expected from animals that have
had abundant exercise before coupling than
from animals that have been closely con-
fined. Exercise conduces to good health.
This applits to all breeding animals, the
exercise Of each to be in accordance with
its nature.
AT the late dairy convention in Ne
bIaska, c. L. GabreIscn, said: The
question OF temperature, comfort and
abundance of paIatable food is, in my
opinion, Of greater importance than the
balanced rations of which We hear so much
nowadays. The Approximate rules may be
worked out from observing many cows
must be conceded, but since no two cows,
any more than any two persons, are alike
IN form or habits, we ca. sot lay down
cast-Iron rubes for feeding them.

Shade Trees

There are so many varieties to choose
from as shade trees that one may well be
Al a loss IN making selections. Many in
stances occur where all the trees surround
ing dwelling and grounds are evergreens.
On the whole these present rather at
tractiye appearance, but they are often
planted so closely together as to prevent
the growth of grapes jy their dense shade.
Where one wishes a fine lawn, shade trees
must rot be too plenty OF too close to-
gether, and the deciduous trees will be the
best If you want both lawn and shade.
The sugar maple is clean and slightly
tree but rather a slow grower and makes
fairly good shade. The black cherry
ana the mulberry are sometimes planted.
but generally fruit beating trees are avoid
ed tor shade on lawns on account of tie
dropping fruit and the oftimes rough and
unSymmetrcai appearance of tie trees.

CAPRUI COMES BACK

Visit to the En-
pef0r.
Reticent as to the Result, Except
that He Will Not
Resign.
Report that Prince Bismarck is Sud.
denly Attacked with Severe
Illness.

BERLIN, March 21.-Gen. Caprivi has
returned from his visit to Hubertussock,
where he went yesterday in answer to
the summons of the Emperor The
Chancellor is reticent as to the facts of
the interview, except that, at the COM
mand of his sovereign, he has consented
to withdraw his resignation and remain
at the head of the Cabinet. The Kaiser
made an earnest personal appeal that
Modified Caprivis Indignation and
brought about what Is called q recon
Citation. This appeal is said to have
been based mainly on the condition of
the kaiser's health and the fact
that he was in no condition to
face a strain that a change in
the chancellcrship would involve.
The kaiser is said to have explained
that his abruptness at the cabinet
meeting which led to the offers of
resignation from Caprivi and Count
Zedlitz was owing to his state of health
and not prompted by any desire to
humiiiate General Caprivi. So much
is derived from semi official sources re-
garding the interview.

And mid new scenes 10 roam
"The sun just rises here and sets,

And climbed the Jungfrau's side;
Had iourneyed from the Golden Gate
To stored EASTERN lands,
And pitched his tent where Afric's streams
Roll down their golden ssnds;''
Had glided through the Grand Canal
Meath soft Ventian skies,
And in strange northern lands had seen
The sun at midnight rise.
Through many cities grand and great,
In wonder he had troa
And on historic battle-fe!is,
His feet had pressed the sod.
He roamed through galleries of art,
And palaces of Kings,
And filed his memory with store
OF rare ana beautiful things.
And then he came 10 that small vale,
Content no more to roam,
And said: There's not in all the world
SO sweet place as home!''
