A Elut of Horses.

"You doubtless have noticed the
general publication, some time ago, of
an article describing the great glut of
horses in the Northwest, and partic u
larly in Montana" said Paul s. Wells,
of Columbus, at the Riggs House this
morning. 81 have had some expert
ence of recent years in the buying and
selling of horses, and venture the re-
mark that in no form of property has
the value decreased so greatly rs in
horses. The prices, too, are growing
lower every day. One great reason
for the overstocking of the market has
been the introduction of cables and
electricity on the street car lines in
various cities. Under the old system
of horse power thousands of animals
were used up every year by the COM
panies, and there was always steady
demand for strong horses of fairly
good appearance. 1t didn't take long
for street car work to kill horse,
either. The introduction of the new
styles of street car propulsion has
taken away about the liveliest branch
of the horse trade in this country, and
I hardly exaggerate when I say that
the cables and trolleys of this country
have done away with the services OF
over 100, 900 horses year. Wash

A SmOke-PrOOf Helmet.

A device which the fire laddies are
particularly anxious to try is a smoke
proof helmet which was recently ex-
hibited with much success in Austria.
1t is the invention of Chief Inspector
Muller, second in command of the
Vienna fire brigade. The appliance is
lined with chamois skin, and has an
air-life tube for use in cellars or in un-
derground buildings when on fire.
The air tube is spirally protected and
cannot bend or split; the end is at
tached to the helmet and the air
pumped through. The helmet is Sc
curely fastened to the shoulders by
two thin chains passed under the arm :
pits.
1t was subjected to rigid exami-
nation in the court of the Central Fire
Brigade In Vienna, and made a good
impression on delegates from a num-
ber of European countries. The fire.
proof cellar which the fremen thus
equipped entered was full of the dem
sest smoke. The fire fighters had no
trouble in remaining in the cellar for
quite time, while those who had no
helmets could only venture as far as
the entrance. A large number of Eng
tlish tiremen were present, and the
new helmet is soon to be gwen trial
in the Queens domain.

A Strange "StOry." "

There is o strange story of how Sir
Walter Scott produced ''The Bride of
Lammermoor" during his illness, and
was afterwards found to have forgotten
entirely what he had thus created.
According to James Ballantyne, 1.-The
book was written and published be-
fore Mr.. Scott was able to rise from
his bed, and he assured me. when it
was first put into his hand in com
plete shape, that he did not recollect
single incident, character or CONVEX.
sation it contained. The original in
cidents of the story which he had
known from boyhood, he still remem-
bered; but he know no more about
the story he had written than he did
before he began to write, or even
think about writing it. :" These facts
are corroborated by Mr.. Lockhart,

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
HOW TO BROIL FISH.


Though every cook will proclaim
that to broil piece of fish Is an ex-
ceedingly easy matter, it is more
often done badly than we'll. II not
cooked enough the fish is extremely
disagreeable to the taste, and if cooked
too much it is hard and dry. 1t is al
ways best to have an exact rule as to
the time it shall be cooked. When the
fish is put on the fire look at the
clock and take it off as soon as it is
done.
A split fish, such as white shad,
white fish, msckerel, scrod or blue
fish, should be timed according to the
thickness. If the fire be bright and
hot, fish an inch thick can be cooked
in twelve minutes. If two inches thick
it will take twenty minutes. OF course,
when the fire is dullit will take longer.
Always season fish with salt and
pepper before cooking. A fish with
the skin on should be broiled with the
skin side from the fire until the last
five minutes of cooking, when that
side can be turned to the fire, but it
must be watched closely or it will
burn. 1t is only dry halibut that re-
qu;res the butter and flour before
broiling. Many people prefer to dip
the slice of fish in olive oil rather
than butter. If the oil be used it
must not be heated, and it is well to
apply it to the fish an hour before
cooking. New York World.

Swimming Cavalry.

Some very interesting exercises in
swimming cavalry took place lately
on tho Cabui River, at Peshawur. The
Thirteenth ID. G. o. Bengal Lancers
have been practicing their horses in q
large tank in their lines and on the
river for some time. One squadron
took cover along the river bank and
kept up steady fire to protect the
passage of the other squadron, who
placed all their arms, accouterments
and clothes in large country boats,
and conducted their horses into the
water. Some horses seemed to thor
oughly enjoy themselves in the water !;
others became unmanageable from
fear. However, the opposite bank
was reached and war paint resumed.
and the squadron was with most cred
table rapidity taking measures to pro-
tect their comrades, who then crossed

TO REMOVE FRUIT STAINS.

AS the fruit season wakes it becomes
burdensone to keep delicate drapery
spotless. Who has not beheld with
dismay ones favorite danask hope
lessly-it would seem-discolore with
peach, cherry and berry stains? Some
suggestions culled from that best of
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES that are
not generally known may be of assist
ance in remedying the mishap.
In the first place, do not wash the
linen before applying other remedies; ;
and it then has to pass through all
stages until time and laundry leave
but a pale yellow reminder, which con-
summation does not follow usually un-
til the fabric is threadbare. For berry
stains have some one hold the cloth so
that it sags little and pour absolutely
boiling water through the spot; rub
well. If this fails, light bit of sui
phur and hold under the wet spot-a
lighted match will answer; the sui
phurous gas usually does the work,
the stain gradually disappearing.
But there are some that, like Lady
Macbeth's damned spot" will not
"out"-peach stains, for example.
Then you must have recourse to salts
of lemon, which is good, but apt to
leave hole in lieu of the stain. By
extreme carefulness in its use, how
ever, it will not do such dire damage.
Take sunny day for the task; first
moisten the spot and then rub on a
very little of the salts of lemon; lay
the linen in the sun for two or three
minutes and then wash thoroughly
with soap and warm water. Success
nearly always follows.
Other stains, like iron rust, are more
easily removed. After washing the
article, squeeze lemon juice on the
spots and then cover thickly with salt.
Lay in the sun all day, wash, and if
the rust is not entirely removed re-
peat the application. This is equally
good for ink stains.
An excellent washing fluid, that
closely resembles the celebrated Javelle
water, is made as follows:
Have ready two gallons of boiling
water; stir in thoroughly a pound of
sal-soda and quarter of pound oil
unslaked lime. When it is settled and
perfectly cold, skim well and let 1t
boil again. Take from the fire and
when settled pour off the clear fluid
into bottles or stone jars that can be
tightly corked. Use in the proportion
of cupful to a large bucketful OF
water. Detroit Free Press.

The dis trict is stirred by the present contest as it has not been stirred for many years, if ever. The forces working for MT. Sperry are well organized and we'll directed. But his chief strength lies in himself, and as he goes from one place to another during the cam paign the people who see and hear him will be forcibly impelled to ask them- selves if it is not better for the dis trict to have MT. Sperry in congress with his great natural and acquired power, his extensive acquaintance with public affairs and public men and his devotion to policy in which the district is vitally interested, than it is to have MT. Pigott, who, whatever his merits, is not the equal of MT. Sperry in power. and who is devoted to policy which benefits Canada, Russia, Brazil, Cuba and other foreign countries and hurts little Connecticut. It seems to us that there can be but che answer to this question, and there fore we think there is much reason for encoura cement in contemplating the situation. Ther, too, much hearty and voluntary personal work is being done for MT. Sperry, and it is this work that tells better than all the schemes of professional politicians Those who are engaged in such work should increase thelr efforts and per. sist in them from now until the polls close.

not take five minutes to hitch up" and wherever they are going, be 1t only half a mile they always drive. Or, if they are living in village, perhaps they do not own a horse. Then when the morning house-work Is finished, the girls sit down and sew or read, or per haps run in to see a neighbor few doors off. All this is pleasant and well enough, but 1t should not prevent their taking a good walk every afternoon, if they would only be convinced of the benefit to be obtained therefrom. The argument that housework furnishes sufficient exercise will not hold good. It is valuable in It's place, but work per- formed inside the house, often over a hot fire and in close rooms, is a very different thing from walking in the fresh air, and cannot be made to do in stead of it. We often hear it said that city girls are apt to look rosier and healthier than their country sisters, and where that is true it is due to the indoor life of many women in villages and on the outlying farms.
