from the water of other springs, except
that it was Slightly brackish. 1t was tue

waters that was remarkable. A small cup
would iu the course OF half an hour rcn-
der the drinker totally insonsiblo aud he
would remain for hours as II dead. But
few white men had ever tried the ex.
pertinent Of drinking from It, but those
who have done so describe the effoot as
not unlike that resulting from heavy
narcotic.
To the Indians this curious spring hos
been known for generations. Thoy call
1t the "heap sleep" spring, and 1t is said
that moro than one poor weary redmnn
has entered the happy hunting grounds
through the medium OF Its waters.
Mr.. Stout states that when he saw the
spring in the summer OF 1890 there were

ELECTRICITY HELPS IN HoUsRwoRK.

Many little tasks about the house may
be done by electricity with a great gain
In convenience. Take slight aud tri-
ding matter as au Instance. Grinding
the coffee takes some minutes. 1t can bo
arranged so that the only atteation
needed is the pulling out of small slide
which allows the coffee to fall into tho
mill from bin. Pulling out the slide
starts the motor, and when given
amount is ground and has fallen into the
coffee pot below, the weight will auto.
metically turn off the motor, thus leav.
ing the coffee in the pot ready to boil.
Among the other things about the house
that can be done by electricity are wash
Ing clothes, turning u clothes. wrluger, a
meat-chopper, fruit expresser, an ice
cream freezer, an egg beater, cream cx.
tractor, which will take all the cream out
of the milk In au instant, aud an oatmeal
crusher. These and hundred other lit
tie things are usually done wrong by do
mestics. BY electricity they are done
exactly right.-Detroit Free Press.

tonight into the doorway of her fathers
house. DR. Grifiths was hastily sum

from poisonous drug and administered
an antidote. 1t had no effect, however,
and she died in less than thirty minutes
Miss Mcdonald was the school "chum'
of Mamie Nipple, the 15-year-old daugh-
ter of DR.. Nipple, who committed suicide
on Tuesday by taking a dose of acid be-
cause her mother scolded her for playing

two girls attended the performance a. a
museum.
While on her deathbed Mamie ex-
pressed a desire to see Jennie alone. The
girls had an interview. Jennie refused
to tell her parents what it was about

Mamie took place to-day. Among the
mournets wera the Mcdonald family

daughter and the dead girl. She refused
to diyulge it, saying she would die before
giving it up. Her father did not press

After supper Jennie said she would re

OF going to bed she got out the bottle that
had contained the poison Mamie Nipple
used to kill herself and which she had
secreted and stole out of the house. Going
to drug store She had the vial retilled.
On her way home she drank quantity
of the stuff, AS she reached the door Of
her fathers house she sank unconscious
on the step. Her father is sure the secret
the girl had was a solemn promise made

LOVE AND SWEETNESS IN ART.

I once saw a picture by that great

Cardinal Newman. l was drawn to that
picture as hundreds of other people were,
because from out the eyes looked a bene-
diction, and after you left it, it seemed as
if you saw it again and again, and those
same eyes were invoking upon you, The
peace of God which passeth all under
standing" But the painters of to-day
don't do such pictures. Watts belonged
to the set of men who appreciated beauty,
appreciated faith, and who appreciated
love. The painter Of to-day leaves some
thing of his palette, Que of his best
colors-his finest tint, don't you guess
