Trimming lamp is now a science. As
some one says that the cake made by n
lady is always better than any other put
on the counters, so lamp trimming needs
hands of accuracy and refinement. Keep
cheese cloth squares for wiping off the
lamps. The wicks should he trimmed
with the sharp edge of a visiting card or
with poker heated redhot and passed
over the wick This last method is lit
tie troublesome, but it removes the charred
part evenly. Wicks used for n long time,
even when they do not become very short,
grow thick and are apt to give forth an
unpleasant odor. They should be removed
once month Mt least In duplex burners
one wick should he trimmed in the oppo-
site direction from the other Round
wicks should be trimmed toward the CEN
ter. Burners should be wiped free from
bits of charred wick and drops of oil ev-
cry day. Every now and then they should
be boiled in strong soapsuds, to make them
perfectly clean. When they have been
used a long time they need replacing

The Yankee Was Honest.

An English gentleman met an Ameri
can traveller in France and spent few
days with him in Paris. When they werr
parting the American admitted that he
had cleaned out his purse and must per-
force remain in Paris until he could get
more money from home. The English
man lent him twenty louis, and the
American in return gave his watch as
security, taking at the same time his adj
dress ON a card. The cynic will sur
mise that the watch turned out to be
worthless, but, so far from that, it has
been valued at above thirty pounds,
Possibly the owner of it mislaid his
creditors address; he has never repaid
the money or reclaimed the watch

him to make similar statement of his own

The most inhumau outrages, outrages which
would disgrace the savage, man p"rpetrates
upon his own system by swallowing drastic pur-
gatives which Convulse hisstomach, Agonlze ms
intpstiues and weaken his system. Many people
constantly do this under the impression that
medicaments only which are violent in their
action, aud particularly catharttcs, are o. any
under this mistaken idea. The laxative which
most nearly approaches the benedrent action OF
nature is llostetteT's stomach Biters, which Is
iestinal canal instead OF weakening and irrtat-
ing it. The liver and the stomach share in the
benign discipline instituted by this compre-
henslve medicine. whose healthful influence is
felt throughout the system. Malari0uS, rheu-
matte, kidney and nervous complaints succumb

Pearl fishing in the Little and Big
Miami rivers. Ohio. has long been a
recognized means of subsistence to hun
dreds of people in that region. Some of
the finest pearls ever found came from
there. For one of them Tiffany 81 Co.
paid $1,000. and afterward sold it for
50 800. As much as $4,000 worth in
one year have been gathered, The
CLANS in whose shells these pearls are
found are raked from the sand bar dur
ing low water, where they are found in
beds similar TO those formed by the salt
water CLANS. They are readily raised
when undisturbed and mature in two
years. This industry, through the en-
terprise of Hon. Theodore Wolking, will
soon be firmly established in Kentucky.
This gentleman is about to invest in two
boatloads of fresh water clans from the
headwaters of the Little Miami. They
will be planted on the edges of his ia
nous fish preserves at Rosedale.-Cov-

Chief of Police Drew Is determined to

that there is man at the head of the po-
lice department with frmness and deci-

he has given strict instructions to all
the officers to keep their eyes open and
arrest any one whom they found riding
on the sidewalks or riding recklessly at
street crossings.
As consequence, on Saturday night
OHlcer Logue arrested three young men
named c. q. Demerit, Walter Bryte and
Schnerr, near Tenth and n streets, for
violating the ordinance, and took them
down TO the station. He also arrested a
lady, but finally relented on her promise
to do SO no more, as she pleaded ignor-
ance of the ordinance.

nance viOlatorS who were riding on the

Four Prisoners Escape, Three OF
Whom We're Soon Caught.
A quartet of prisoners escaped from
the County Jail on Saturday, in broad
daylight, but three of them were soon re-
captured and locked up in their old quar-
ters.
The escapes were Phil. Frost. Ed. Jor-
dan and George White, alias Whitley"
vagrants, and George Stanley. petit lar
cenist. Whitley" is the same youth who
escaped few days before. but was recap
tured beyond the north levee, where he
had taken to the water to escape his pur-
suers. He says he is but II years old, but
is one OF the worst toughs the officers
have had to deal with in long time.
The men escaped through chimney in
the rock-breaking yard. and by climbing
out over the roofs of neighboring build
ings, until they reached the alley.
Constable Spinks saw the men crossing
the roof, gave the alarm, and lively pur-
suit was started. Constable Frommelt
captured White and Jordan in Washing
ton, and Deputy Sheriff Foley arrested
Stanley on the north levee. Frost, a COL
ored boy, got away, but yesterday it was
reported that he had been caught up at
Roseville.

suspicion of having committed the as
sault, and captured with them revolver
and piece of loaded rubber hose about
eighteen inches long, which would be
very liable to give man bad headache
or put him to sleep if used on him.
The five young men were allowed to
go last night for lack of proof Chief
of Police Drew aud Captain Greene
notified them that they must leave
town Immediately, as if they were
brought up again they would have a
chance to work on the rock pile. One of
them was inclined to be saucy, but was
sternly sat down on and warned TO leave
