Carlyle Harris Mother Makes a
Plea to the People.


Plea to the People.
New YORK, April Mrs. F. Nc
Cready Harris, mother of Carlyle har-
ris, has written the following letter:
To the American Public: Kindly al
2 low me to thank the many friends who
have come to my boys help. Long ago
a stranger wrote me: IF all else fails,
then the strong arm of strangers will
come to your aid" How true this has
been. Letters pour in, and every letter
is read by me, and then carefully filed
away, that when my boy is allowed to
prove his innocence, he may read them,
and remember he owes his life to the
American people. l am particularly
gratified that so little is said as to my
own Sufferings - that should lot be
considered, or else no guilty man
could be punished. The fact is
simply this: My boy has proof of his
inn0cence-let MIN be allowed to pre-.
sent these proofs. God knows CARLYLE

annoy.
Yet midst wars, massacres and priva'
tions of every kind her life began. AT
the Fort Deerborn massacre of 1872
her baby eyes may have seen father
and brother murdered. At a mothers
breast she clung close that no savage
club might bruise her tender frame.
Then came wigwam life and weary
marching from Indian camp to Indian
camp. Thus the first year of her life
passed away, and the fair-haired child
little dreamed when at last safe in her
grandfather's house, that where her
eyes first saw the light some time
would stretch monster city, some
time be held an exposition on SO mag
nifcent scale as to astonish the
world, and this be her renown--that
she was the first white child born
where how tower Chicago's myriad

But, having felt all of life's vicissi-
tudes in Western wilderness, now, in
her rose-covered cottage in Southern
California, she peacefully waits the

TO RESTORE SILKS.

If you want to be always prepared
to deal with grease spots on your silk
gowns, keep the following preparation
at hand: Powdered French chalk wet
with soap suds, pressed into cakes and
dried in the sun. Then when your at
tentive escort drops cup Of chocolate
down the front breath, smile amiably
and so home happy in the conscious
ness that you can repair the damage.
Lay the stained piece on clean cot
ton cloth, the right side down. Scrape
your soap on the spot. Cover with
several folds of tissue paper and press
with q hot iron for minnie OF SO.
Raise the paper. Scrape off the chalk.
Rub the place with torn piece OF
pasteboard to restore the gloss.
An excellent wash for dark silk
dresses is made of cup of cold water,
half teaspoon OF honey, q half tea
spoon of soft soap and half a wine glass
of alcohol. The silks that are sponged
with this preparation should be rinsed
in clear, cold water and pressed on the
wrong side while damp.
To restore it's pristine smoothness
to wrinkled silk, sponge it on the right
side with O very weak solution of gum
arabic and press on the other slde.-

A BATH APRON.

Any little schoolgirl who can sew can
easily make pretty present to her
mother for nursery use to be worn
when the small toddlers of the house
hold have their baths. One yard OF
canton flannel should have two-inch
hem on either raw edge. The selvage
sides need not be touched. The hens
should leave the woelly side OF the
flannel at the right side.
Around three sides of the apron,
about an inch from the edge, work a
feather stitch in pale pink or blue
washing silk or fax thread. Extra or.
namentation in chain stitch may be
added in the word ''splash" across one
corner, and if the young needlewoman
can embroider, little flight OF birds
or duck with her ducklings may be
worked in outline or chain stitch across
the other corner.
A yard and quarter Of ribbon, II
inches wide, may be slipped through
the hem at the top; tie the apron
about the waist.
This not only makes good protec'
tive covering for mammals dress, mex
pensive and easy to wash, but it serves
as q soft, warm wrap for baby fresh
from his dip.-St. Louis Republic.

Marriages Of Freaks.

"Do museum freaks as q rule marry
happily" was asked of purveyor of
freaks.
81 cannot say. Where one natural
curiosity marries another I believe
they do, as rule They have been
in the business together and they
know what to expect. There is no
stage glamor or tinsel attraction in it
for them. 1t is business, perhaps,
with a good deal of honest sentiment
mixed up with it, but they get married
with their eyes open.
zone of the most remarkable mar
riages ever celebrated in this country
was that of Pat O'Brien, the Irish
giant, and female giantess, at Pitts
burg, in 1882. 1t was big affair,
and accounts Of it were telegraphed
all over the world. Colonel George
O. Starr, who is now Barnum &
Bailey's right-hand confidential ma1,
engineered the affair. Starr was
managing Harris's Museum at the
time, and the giants were on ex-
hibition at that house. O'Brien was
Irish, while his bride was a German
girl. Both were over seven feet in
height.
''The wedding took place in the
Lutheran Church, for the girl was of
thet denomination, and would not
agree to be married in the cathedral,
as her afianced desired. The results
of that marriage were very happy.
Both were apparently satisfied with
their choice. They went to Europe,
and while in Paris Mrs. O'Brien died.
That was four or five years ago, and
O'Brien has never remc1ried, and,
what is more, says that lie never will.
"As another example OF freaks liv-
ing happily together let me refer you
to Mr.. and Mrs Tom Thumb. For
over quarter of century they lived
in the utmost felicity.
"It is when museum freak marrles
some one outside of the profession,
some fortune hunter or lovesick senti-
mentalist, that trouble ensues. 1t
doesn't take long for the infatuation
to wear of, and then come chickering's
and recriminations, and finally separa-
tion. ."-Philadelphia Press.

SaltOn Sea Again.

It is said that Salton Sea, which, two
years ago, was formed by the overflow
of the Colorado River in the desert OF
Arizona, is likely to be there again
soon. A cattle man, who is we'll
acquainted with the region, says that
the river is again overhowing into the
desert, and is likely to do so for
long time, as there have been very
heavy SHOWS in Montana, Idaho and
Utah, at the headwaters of the river,
the melting of which has caused the
present overflow. The last overflow is
the first in twenty years, but there is
every indication that it has been com
mon in the past, and that the present
desert was in former times great
lake. which there is nothing to pre-
vent its being again, ii water enough
runs in to fill it. He says: "When
the overflow of two years ago occurred
the water followed the identical chan
nels that had become almost obliter-
ated from age. The water is low run
ming into the desert in two branches.
One is Carter River and leaves the
Colorado about fifteen miles below
Yuma. The other channel is New
River, and is fortynve miles further
down the river. Salton is about 200
feet below the level Of the debouch.
ments of these rivers. The water has
been flowing into both Of the breaks I
have named for several weeks past.
Both New and Garter Rivers had ad.
vanced about thirty-fve miles when l
left, and I think the water will be into
Salton in q few weeks more. A num-
ber of large lagoons have already been
filed between the Sink and the Colo
RADIO. One of these is fully ten miles
square. It will not take long for these
depressions between the river and the
big basin to be filled, and then the
water will slide over into Salton.-

A Pinch of Dust.

The dangers that lurk unseen in the
air form the subject of an essay by NJ.
de Nansouty on "The Atmosphere Of
Large Towns and Micrography." He
points ont the increased pollution OF
the air in Paris from the factories
worked by steam machinery, and re-
marks that vapors which contain sui
phur are specially disastrous to the
lungs, since the sulphur which they
contain is transformed into sulphurous
acid, and then into sulphuric acid,
which falls back to the earth with the
rain and fog. An analysis OF dust par
ticles reveals that remarkable coilec
ton of diverse objects may be alb
sorbea ct every breath in the street OF
a large city: silex, chalk, plaster, pull
verified rock, charcoal, hairs. fbres,
vegetable refuse, starch, pollen cells,
etc. A specimen ot dust collected
from furniture on the third floor of o
street in Rennes contained all this and
nearly three million bacteria IN addl-
ton. A gramme of dust (about fifteen
grains) in movement in the streets en-
closes about 100000 bacteria. The
dust of houses, then, is far more dan
serous. NJ. de Nansouty concludes
that it is of ircalculeble Importance te
devote incessant attention to the mum
ber, quality, and nature Of these mi
croscop;c beings which surround us

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Going gently about thing won't
hinder it's being done.
We have nothing to do with our
past, but to get future out of it.
Science ever has been, and ever
must be, the safeguard of religion.
A sound discretion is not so much
indicated by never making o mistake
as by neve- repeating it.
There is transcendent power in ex.
ample We reform others uncon.
sciously when we walk uprightly.
The way to wealth is as plain as the
way to market; it depends chiefly on
two words-industry and frugality.
There is no such thing as chance,
and what to us seems accident springs
from the deepest source of destiny.
There is no action of man in this
life which is not the beginning of 80
long chain of consequences, as that
no human providence is high enough
to give us prospect to the end.
1t does us good to admire what is
good and beautiful but it does US in
fnitely more good to love it. We
grow like what we admire; but we be-
come one with what we love.
Let us with caution indulge the
supposition that morality can be
maintained without religion. Reason
and expericnce both forbid us to ex-
pect thai National morality can pre-
vail in exclusion of religious prin.
ciple.

APeculiar Lake of Siberia.

The great salt lake at Obdorsk, 81
IBERIA, is nine miles wide, and seven
teen miles long, yet, except in few
places, it is solidly rooted over with a
deposit ofsalt, which is getting thicker
and thicker every year.
Our guide, who is On old man, said
that he could remember when the salt
crystals first began to form upon the
surface of the water. Year by year,
owing to the evaporation of the water,
the crystals became more numerous,
and then caked together, till this great
roof formed.
In 1878 the water beneath this salt
crystal roof found an underground out
let in the River Obi. This lowered the
lakes surface about three feet, leaving
that distance between the water and
the roof.
Looking down through one of the
openings made for the purpose in the
roof, we saw low-sided small boat.
Our guide put us one at time into
the boat. We lay fiat on our backs
and looked up at the curlously beautl-
full salt ceiling overhead. We pro-
PEELED the boat by pushing with our
hands against the Irregularities OF the
roof.
The guide held long rope attached
to the boat to prevent our going too
far and getting lost, thing he said it
was easy to do.
1t was like a palace of enchsntment,
with the sun shining down through
the salt crystals, the colors were so
rich and wonderful.
Many springs surround this lake.
Their water flows over the roof and
evapcrates there, and thus continually
adds to it's thickness. After many
years the springs will probably become
choked with their own deposits, and
then the whole will gradually become
covered with earth, and so great salt
mine will be formed-a treasure for
the Siberians hundreds of years to
come. Typographical Magazine.
