An Emcacious Remedy.

Two unprotected women of Warsaw,
Ill, were beset by couple Of dissolute
men few days ago and were subjected
to the vilest Of threats. The women
barricaded their bedroom door and one
of them armed herself with a shotgun,
which she used with good effect upon
one of the scoundrels. This contains a
valuable suggestion for women who
are left at the mercy Of rowing tramps
and desperadoes. They should provide
themselves with shotguns and practice
with them until they become proficient
in their use, then when Mr.. Villain
comes along and tries to cutup any of
his bad tricks they can save the hang
man job and perform great service
for the community.

REMARKABLE success is said to have
been attained with a new process for
preserving timber lately introduced in
England. The agent employed is
melted naphthaline, contained in a
tank, in which the timber is immersed.
The temperature of the bath is about
200 degrees Fahrenheit or a little be-
low, and is evenly maintained, the heat
being derived from steam pipes, passing
through the tank. The timber is
soaked from two to twelve hours, ae-
cording to the size of the piece. It is
believed that wood which is thus thor
oughly impregnated with naphthallne,
which takes the place of the sap and
water it expels. will have peculiar ad-
vantage in it's susceptibility to polish,
for which merely rubbing with cloth
will be sufficient.

A PRESBYTERIAN minister of Whining
ton, Del, prophesies theend of the world
in 1897. He expects that in that year the
Jews will be restored to the Holy Land
and that they will build anew the tenn
pie against the second coming of Christ.
BE draws these conclusions from sew
eral much-discussed passages in the
Book of Revelation, and has been
preaching sermons for some time past
with the special object of preparing his
flock for the events of 1897.

IT is peculiar fact, and one that has
attracted considerable attention in
medical circles and journals, that the
affection, or at least popularity, Of
deafness in one ear, is greatly on the in
crease. In walking along the street
with a friend it is by no means unusual
to notice that every time it is necessary
to cross to the other sidewalk he is
careful to keep on the same side Of his
companion, while if he cannot do this
he strains his head around in an OBJ
viously painful effort to hear. Like al
most all modern troubles this deafness
in one ear is generally attributed to the
grip, but whether this is so or not, the
defect is certainly much more common
than it was q few years ago.

Two RAILROAD companies, one in In
diana and the other in Florida, have ex-
perienced the modification during the
last few days of finding their locomo-
tives chained to the track, as the result
of legal process for debt. In one case a
counter appeal to the law secured re-
lease, but in the other case inventive
genius triumphed, for, although the
only engine on the road continued in hui
initiating captivity, operations were re-
sumed by means of a fat car rugged up
with sails, and at last accounts this I'M
common carrier was making regular
trips" over the entire length of the road

HOG RAISIN4

Aberdeen News:-Several weeks ago
the News published au article. bise1 on
the report of the department If agricul-
ture. advocating the raising of hogs on
other food as we'll as corn. The theory
is now endorsed by no less an authority
than the Droyers Journal, published at
the Union stock yards Chicago. In Us
issue OF the lith inst. the Journal takes
the ground that the very thick, heavy,
fat pork appears to have run its course
in the markets and to have fallen out of
demand, TO very large extent at least
and according to the present lookout
clear pork hogs. mess pork hogs. or lard
hogs will not in the future command the
attention at large that they have hereto
fore held.
The fact is heavy, thick, fat hogs that
weigh $50 to 400 pounds make heavy and
often course hams aud shoulders that
are not desirable for the average con-
sumer to use. The sides Of such hogs are
largely rendered into lard or Sro work ed
into barrel pors. The bakon hog has
taken the front rank, especially in the
foreign markets and is steadily gaining
"a vor in all the consuming markets at
home and abroad.
IL has been demonstrated conclusiyely
that wheat, millet. and barley AMI the
like make the very best OF pork. while

careful experiments has published the
following statements showing the relative
value Of other food.
