A boy can make quite disturbance. At
Philadelphia the other day small one
playing with hose had the idea Of throw
ing the stream of water en- the trolley
wire, holding the brass nozzle of the hose
in his hand. He did SO and was promptly
knocked down by the current OF electricity.
As the hose flew from his hands the stream
drenched his father, and he then got a
whipping in addition to the electric shock.
The Welsh in the United States claim
that they are in number as many as their
countrymen in Wales, and they also claim
that one of their ancestors foressallsd Co.
lumbus In the discovery of America by 272
years. They base their assertions on his
torical traditions and the manuscripts of
old Welsh bards ON the one hand and on
the prevalence of Welsh in many of the
languages of the Indians, both of South
and North America, on the other.
1t is said that much of the eloquence to
which We have been treated by congress
men during the last two weeks originated
in the treasury department., where old re.
tainers who have fed on bullion valuee,
seignorags and fluctuations since the days
of Andrew Jackson have been grinding
out finance spesches at 20 much per speech
in aid of the uninformed statesmen. The
retainers aforesaid write On either side of
the question with equal ability, and a large
proportion of their extra revenue has come
from the free silver men who, despite their
prstentions, know very little about the
money question.
A German physician has been making a
ssries of experiments to test the compara-
tive value of different kinds OF oil for the
purpose of stilling the waters. He declares
that petroleum or psraffin is of no use
whatever, snd olive oil of little value. On

and oil of turpsntine have considerable sf-
feet, but the most effective of all oils Is
train oil. Not satisfied with these expert
ments, he then set to work with other fatty
materials and reports that he found q solu-
tion of soap to be far superior as a wave
stiller to eany kind ef Oil, He says that
only very thin solution of soap Is requir
ed, about one part of soap to Thousand
parts of water.
According to writer In the Epioure
everybody can have Dsvonshire cream.
Here is the way 70 get 1t: Rich new milk Is
put in very shallow vessel with an ex-
tendsd surfscs, and is then set on the
range, where the milk will be warmed, but
on no account must 1t boil or even scald.
The heat will cause all the cream to rise to
the surface in very short time, and the
pan is then taken off and placed IN the
ice box or in a cool place. When thor
oughly chilled the cream may be taken of
and will be nearly of the consistency of
newly made butter. This is put in jars,
and at breakfast is helped with a spoon
and is delicious with oatmeal, jams, ber-
ries-every thing in fact that ordinary
cream is used for, its merit being that not
only does one obtain the richest cream, but
it will keep for two or three Days without
becoming sour.
That 1t may not be always wiee to dis
turb tbs balance of nature In the rela-
tionship of wild animals is we'll illustrated
by what is passing in San Bsrhardino
County, California. a state bounty Of So
was placed en coyotes, and this prowler
of the foothills and plains was then worth
powder and shot. So coyote scalps were
collected to such an extent in San Bernsr-
dino County and elsewhere that the jack
ass rabbit had the restraints upon his
existence very much slacksned and in
creased Ia great numbers. 1t is hardly
doubtful that thousands of rabbits are
worse depredators upon the farmers
thrift than scores of coyotes, which do not
trouble the crops, kus only seize a few
lambs or sheep whom they get the chance.
San Bernardino Is now go pestsred with
rabbits that the supervisors have passed
an ordinance voting 20 cents per pair of
ears for their slaughter. There ia money
in this, too, and 1t will be wsll if the
county treasury Is not bsnkrupted.
