ABSOLUTELY PURE
Electricity In the Household. .

1t is doubtful if so thorough and at the
same time so practical a test of the
feasibility of using electricity for var
iOus household requirements has ever
been made anywhere as that instituted
by gentle man of BROOKLYN, who is
utilizing the subtitle current for all of
his heating and lighting and cooking
needs, with the result that coal and gas
have been entirely dispensed with in
his family. Housewives will be mar
tlcuarly impressed with the statement
that even the eXigencies of wash dav
are fully met by the new agent. the
water being boiled by electrically gen
Grated heat, and even the fat irons
being kept hot by an electric heater
stored within them, which has the ad
vantage of maintaining an invariable
temperature.
Altogether the scheme, which, of
course, is susceptible of countless vari-
tions, would seem to have an ideal.
Twentieth Century quality which
should light glow Of enthusiasm in
the souls of all tired housewives who
have been reading the Bellamv tyne of
literature. Nor is electricity Tor fam
lily use by any means a mere dream of
futurity. There is no question at all
of the feasibility of its employment
even now in that vast, waiting field.
The question of cost is the one factor
in the problem which gives pause to
to the iventive mind, and postpones a
blessing that will some day put an end
to vast amount of domestic drudgerv.
But the delay cannot be of long dura.
ton. Even asitis the matter Of fexpense
would be a subordinate consideration
to persons of wealth and if wealth
should once set the fashion, and rank
electricity among her household ser.
wants, it would not be long before the
new agent would be found wherever
human toll might be lightened. PhIa.

Judge Dallas Says that the Adams
Express Company Is not Cor
poratiiOn and Cannot be
Taxed.

In Philadelphia on Tuesday Judge
Dallas in the United States Circuit
Court delivered a decision which
might effect Delaware if a similar case
was brought. The suit was one
brought by the Adams Express Com
pany to prevent the State of Pennsyl.
vania from collecting about 100000
unpaid taxes levied on that company
by the state the same as taxes are laid
on other corporations. Judge Dallas
decided that the Adams Express Com
pany is not Incorporated, and is there
fore not corporation and cannot
therefore be taxed as such. In this
state tax is laid by the state on ex-
press companies and if the company
chose to contest it Judge Dallas's de.
cisiOn would be a good precedent.
So far in this state the company has
never refused to pay its taxes.
At the last session of the General
Assembly the same question was
raised, when it was proposed to place
a fine on the company in case of dis
elimination. 1t was decided then that
the company was not an icorpOration,
and in order to avoid any difficulty the
hne for discrimination was provided
for the agent of the company itself.

Wise and Otherwise.

General observations drawn FROM
particulars are the jewels acknowledge,
cOmprehending great store in a little
room.
Aunt-"YOu visit me often enough,
l admit, but you want money every
time. Now tell you plainly that you
need not expect anything from me as
long as I live" Nephew-"Oh, my
dear aunt, will willingly wait longer
than that"
Grief is a tattered tent, where
through Gods light doth shine; who
glances up at every rent shall catch
ray divine.
Clara-"How did you like the colors
in Mrs. Anthome's new tea gown"
FlOrence--"Were'nt they trfle weak ."
Clara-"Yes. She got it to match her
tea"
Life is rather a state of embryo-a
preparation for life man is not com.
pletely born till he has passed through
death.
He-"Don't you think you could
love me just little?" She-"Oh, yes :
l can love you Just as little as you like. -
Those who seem to lead the public
taste are, in general, merely outrun-
ming it in the direction which it is spon-

Maryland Sayings.

Here are some Maryland supersti.
tions.
fyOu drop discloth a stranger is
coming.
II you sew garment upon yourself
lies will be told about you.
Raising an umbrella in the house
pOrtends death.
When making soap stop work when
visitors come, or the soap will not be a
success.
When you talk to yourself Satan
hears you.
Ifyou dream of death you'll hear of
wedding
Sitting on the table is a sign that
you want to marry.
Placing the shoes with the toes
pointing away from the bed will keep
off the nightmare.
If a chicken crows outside, it is a
sign of death in the family.
And here's a funny little rhyme
which Maryland folks say is as "old as
the hills" but still is current among
loving couples way down in Syne-
puxent.
As sure as grass grows round the stump
You are my darling sugar lump"

Sheep Raising in the Northwest.
INDUSTRY IN THE STATE OF MON
TANA ALONE.

One of the pronounced recent de.
parture in the agricultural industry of
the Northwest is change from exelus-
i've grain growing to a mixed industry,
in which live stock and dairying are
prominent features. In Minnesota
special attention thus far has been CIV
en- horses; cattle and hogs; but in Mon
tana and the DakOtas sheep are arOus-
ing the most notable interest. In Mon
tana the sheep flocks have multiplied
tentold in ten years, and in 1891 num-
bered over 2,SOO,OOO animals. The
sheep industry of Montana represents
a capital of $2O,OO0,OOO and brings a
revenue of nearly $2,5OO,OOO from wool
alone. Montana wool has in q brief
period attained national reputation.
North Dakota is a recent convert to
the sheep industry, but already has
more sheep than all other do
'mestic animals combined, and the in
dustry is rapidly growing in popular
favor as in prOfitableness. Minneapolis

Says the Farm and Home: Zone ofthe
strangest practices common among civ
ilized men is the drinking of intOxicat-
ing drinks. This traffic, in Delaware,
costs the people of this State nearly
ave million dollars year. This sum
would buy all the farming land in Del
aware in less than ten years at an aver
age of forty dollars per acre. 1t would
build a $4,000 school house in every
district in the State. 1t would clothe
for year every person in the State as
well as they are clothed now. 1t would
give to every man, woman and child in
Delaware six barrels of the best hOur.
The result of all this expenditure ID,
weakened bodies and enfeebled minds,
rags instead of broadcloth, hunger in

Electroplated Ships.
PAINTING THE HULLs OF STEEL vEs.
Sells WITH A COATING OF
COPPER

In the ordinary process of electro.
plating 1T is necessary to employ an
acid bath, in order to effect the deDosi.
ton OF the copper or other metal. This
method, which is usually EMPLOYED
only for small household and other
articles, has been so developed that the
system has been patented for APPLYING
copper coating to the bottoms of iron
and steel vessels. Necessarily. how
ever, this entails much time and ex.
pense when applied to ships, recurring
bath OF immense proportions. Now.
according to the London Electrical
EngiHecr, all this is changed. and a
ship's hull can be plated as easily as a
spoon or teapot. Instead of bath
we are to have insoluble salts. ground
to fine powder, and mixed with
water. This is painted on the metal to
be plated by fine wire brush. to
which one pole Of of a dynamo conduc.
tor is attached, the other pole being
connected to a plate. Not only Dure
metal, but all sorts of alloys can be
used. aluminium can be so plated. it
Is said, with silver or gold.

The Presidents Position.

disappointment has been expressed
that President Cleveland, in his declar.
alton that the financial question sis the
only menace to the cOuntry's welfare
and prosperity" did not state whether
or not he believed that Congress would
repeal the lver-purchasing act which
he now declares to be the source of the
present furry.
1t is obvious to those who have fol-
lowed the course of events and the
published expressions concerning the
silver problem that the President has
no guarantee of what Congress will do.
He probably has hopes, however, that
when Congress meets, four months
from now, that the cOngressmen n-elect
will have been brought to realize that
the President Is right in his anxiety to
have the silver purchase act repealed.
1t is believed, too, that the President
hopes to win the statesmen who are
opposed to him on the silver question
over to his way of thinking, by Judi
clous distribution of patronage during
the summer months.
The announcement that an extra
session of Congress is to be called NAV
have the effect Of relieving the minds
OF some persons, but there are others
who would prefer the President to state
what guarantee he has that something
will be done when Congress meets.
The thoughtful business men of the
country are doing what they can to
check the spirit of panic which has
been growing, and there can be no
doubt that the Presidents latest an.
nouncement will do much to aid them
in their fear. At the same time the
tarl IL question will continue to disturb
and retard business operations, and the
President may have made mistake in
not referring to that particular phase
OF current distrust and suspicion.
The administration has some hard
work ahead, and until Congress shows
its intentions as to the tariff and silver
questions we may not expect a return
OF that confidence which is so necessary
to bring about return of the era OF
good times.

The Angelic Husband.

There are husbands who are pretty.
There are husbands who are witty
There are husbands who in public are as smiling
as the morn:
There are husbands who are healthy,
There are famous ones and wealthy,
But the real angelic husband, wel-hes never
yet been born.
Some for strength of love are noted,
Who are really so devoted.
That whene'er their wives are absent they are
lonesome and fOrlOrn;
And while now and then you'll find one
Who's fairly good and kind one,
Yet the real angelic husband-oh, he's never yet
been born.
So the woman who is mated
To man who may be rated
As pretty fair" should cherish forever and a
day,
For the real angelic creature,
Perfect. quite, in ev cry feature
He has never been discovered and he won't be,
so they say.
