paniment of cheese, and is an agree
able substitute for the usual biscuits,
with lemonade, wine and tea. Take
from the oven an ordinary loaf when
it is about half baked, and, with the
fingers, while it is still hot, put the
half set dough into pieces of irregular
shape, about the size of an egg. Do
not attempt to smooth or fstten. them,
as they are better the rsugher they
are. Set on tins, place in q very slow
oven and bake to rich brown.

A Pressure of a Million Pounds,

Some interesting experiments have
been made at Washington University,
st. Louis, with the largest hydraulic
testing machine in the world. 1t
can exert a pressure OF 1,0O0,00
pounds. Timbers such as are used for
pillars in large commercial buildings
were crushed, not broken, lengthwise.
A piece of timber capable of sustaining
5000 persons was crushed like an egg
shell when placed in the machine. The
best brick piers two feet square,
columns of granite foot square and
sandstone three feet square are ground
to powder with the greatest ease. The
machine was designed for the purpose
of pursuing Investigations being made
by the Government of the strength o
commercial woods grown in the United

Cheap Filters.

With the advent Of warm weather
the necessity for . supply of pure,
well filtered water becomes imperar
tive, and scientific journal has I'D.
visedly described two methods whereby
an effective filter can be easily and
cheapH provided. Procure q wine bar.

large enough to make I partition
across the barrel. Support the wire
with coarser wire cloth under IL, and
also q light frame Of oak to keep the
cloth from saggins. Fill In with
about three inches in depth Of clear,
sharp sand, then three inches Of char.
GOAL, broken finely, but no dust. On
top Of this put four inches more OF
sand, I'LL up the barrel with water and
draw from the bottom. In another
method two barrels or two stone pots
or jars may be used. The top jar
must have hole drilled or broken IN
the bottom and o small hower-pot
saucer inverted over the hole. Then
fill in with layer of sharp, clean
sand. rather coarse, layer of finer
sand, layer of pulverized charcoal
with the dust blown out, then another
layer of sand, which will come up to
about one-third Of the jar. The ja,
which is to hold the supply of filtered
water can have side hole drilled for
faucet, so as to obviate tho necessity
of removing the top jar when water ID
wanted. The filtering jar is placed on
top and filled with water, and thus a
supply of the filtered liquid is always
obtainable in the bottom receiver. =

He Says They Were sot Married, she
Says They Were. and That She Can
Prove 1t.

Alice l.. Webb, or Eopklnsou, daughter
of William II. Webb of Buffalo, has
brought an action in the supreme court
through Coudert Bros. to establish n COM
mon law marriage TO George w.
Hopkinson of New York and Provi-
dence and to obtain en- abso-
Lutte divorce from him. An order which
she obtained for the examination OF
his mother, Della Hopkinson,

N vas set aside by Justice Ingraham
or tschneality yesterday, but subse-
quently another order was obtained re-
curing Della Hopkinson to show cause to-
morrow why she should not be examined.
The plaintiffs story Of common ltw
marriage, which she told at the PARK
Avenue hotel last night, is a novel one.
She was school girl, being educated in
this city privately, when, in 1878, she met
Hopfinsur1. His father, John +. Hopkin-
son, was jeweler atl 202 Broadway, and
the defendant YVES his only child.
Young Hopkinson, so the plaintiff said,
did not believe In any religion or ceremo-
nial marriages. lie said, however, that
they could be married IN what he termed
the Quaker way, IL the law permitted.

them tfnt the mutual agreement
before witnesses, which he call
Quaker marriage, would be bind
ing. They thereupon, before Law
yer Spencer and Mrs. Spencer and James
III. Prior, of the firm of Learned & Prior,
merchants, also as witnesses, agreed orally
to be man and wife. That was the even
ing Of Nov. "a, 1873. The plaintiff says
that Mrs. Spencer and Mr.. Prior have
both made affidavit for her to these facts.
After the agreement they went 20 live az

days later, they were visited by Hopkin-
sons father and mother, Subsequently

as she says, about 100000. She
and Hopkinson lived at the
Everett house and the Westminster hotel
chiefly up 10 1856, when they separated.
She had sued him for separation in 1884,
but at his solicitation she withdrew the
suit and they became reconciled.
In her present suit she accuses him OF
intimacy with the widow OF Dan Mace,
the we'll known driver OF tro,ting horses.
She says he lived with Mrs. Mace about
three years at Forty-sixth street and
Ninth avenue. For the past three years
she declares she has been living with May
White.
Mr.. Hopkinson denies the marriage ;n.his
answer. When seen at the Hollywood last
night he refused to speak Of the case.

YOKOHAMA, Dec. i2. - The steamer
China, which left Honolulu Nov. %, has
just arrived here. In an interview with
the officers and passengers regarding the
situation in Hawaii they stated that when
the steamer left the island the provisional
government was still in power and was
maintaining n very determined attitude.
Much excitement prevailed among bust
ness men and the people generally, and
the action of the United States govern
ment was awaited with the greatest anxi-
ETY.. The members Of the provisional gov

declarations against the restoration of the
monarchy. and openly expressed their in
tention Of resisting TO the utmost any at

posed Routes to New York.
Special to The News.
BosToN, Dec. 12.-Agents OF the New
York and New England are now going
over the three proposed routes for the
New England entrance into New York
city, endeavoring to ascertain the cost of
acquiring right of way. As a matter of
course the route most free from bridging,
or which can be acquired at the lowest
price, will be chosen. The company
prefers property which can be purchased
rather than that which they would have
to condemn. Ground will not be broken
probably before March 1, and by that time
the route will have been decided upon,
the plans matured and the line can thus
be rushed through to completion. The
line from Brewsters to New York will
necessarily be only through line, az any of
the proposed routes do not touch many
live towns or cities ana 1t would not pay
to buiid at the present time
with the suburban business i'm view, as
the net work of other lines can now take
care of all the suburban business. 1t is ex-
pected that all the Erie and Ontario and
Western traffic will be delivered TO the
New England and Northern ut the Hud-
son river terminal, and also large part OF
the West Shore traffic, which the New
York Central road cannot conveniently
handle, owing to its large passenger busi-
ness.
