AGAIN THE MULKERN.
As He Grows Older He Becomes More
Obtsreperous.

Yesterday He Fought the Officers in the
Corridor-When Placed in the Dock He
Makes Break for Liberty.
Timothy Mulkern is one of the famous,
or rather notorious, Mulkern family,
whose names constantly appear in police
court records. They are all fighters,
and make assaults of ten without the
slightest pretext, just to keep their
hands in, as it were.
Yesterday morning Timothy was
brought up to the court room to have his
trial, along with batch of other pris-
ners. Usually the Mulkerns when ar
rested "take their cruel" with stoicism,
and make no fuss. But yesterday was a
marked exception to other occasions.
Hardly had the corridor in front of the
made sudden break for liberty. Sew
eral of the officers made a snatch for
him, and before he could reach the
outer door he was downed and under
the Tirm grasp of the officers carried into
the court room aud placed in the dock.
There it was supposed all trouble was
over, and that Mulkern, seeing the fruit
lessness of the attempt, would await
his fate with resignation.
But Mulkern when he gets an idea
into his head isn't built that way. The
trials were proceeding. Deputy Marshal
Sterling was in his seat looking over
some papers, when, all of sudden Null
kern pulled his hat low down over his
eyes, set his teeth and made bolt
over the other prisoners to the end of
the dock near the window. evidently
intending to go through into the street
and make his escape. The officers were
too quick for him. Two of them seized
him, Pickett and Thompson, but like
true Mulkern, he fought like tiger
for a few moments. Judge Gould peered
down from his eerie at the unusual
spectacle, the audience rose as one man
and lawyers and clients were interested
spectators. Ii was but brief conflict.
The Deputy sprang to the officers aid,
as did other officers who were near at
hand, and Tim Mulkern, when he was
lifted from the floor was demoralized
specimen of humanity, overcome BY force
of numbers, but not conquered. The
bulldog spirit of the Mulkerns is not
subdued so easily. take him away"
called out Judge Gould, and the hand
cuffed prisoner was marched out to the
cell room, where he will think over how
foolish he was before he is brought be-
fore the court again tomorrow. This
episode over, the regular business of the
court was continued.

sieve. 1t viii then bein state of fine flour.
Now, to 6 quarts of this lime, add quart
of rock salt and gallon of water. Then
boil the mixture and skim it clean. To
every gallons of this skinned mixture
add pound of alum. one-half pound of
copperas, by slow degrees, and three-quar-
tiers of pound of potash and 4 quarts of
fine sand or hickory ashes sifted.
The National Builder, which gives this
recipe, supposes that any kind of hardwood
ashes will answer as well as hickory, and
says this mixture will admit of any color
ing matter you wish, and may be applied
with brush. 1t looks better than paint
and is as durable as slate. 1t will stop
small leaks in roof, prevent the moss
from growing over and rotting the wood

Winter BriCklaYing.

Now the question comes up as to laying
brick in winter. 1t always does about this
time of year. People who are building
houses, stores, factories. and what not, bring
mp the question as to what effect freezing
may have on bricklaying. The Industrial
World says this question has been definite
ly settled, experimentally, practically, sci
entifically and otherwise, and there can be
no doubt but that brickwork, substantial
in character and solid, can be done in cold
winter weather.
The principal thing necessary is to keep
the brick dry, and to see that the mortar
does not freeze before the brick is placed
on top of it. Various devices are in use for
keeping the mortar in proper condition on
the mortar boards-namely, by using sheet
iron boards with lamps under them. and
other similar ingeniously devised arrange
ments. Arrangements of this kind are
only necessary under the most adverse con-
ditions, when the weather is exceedingly
cold. Ordinarily the mortar can be carried
from the bed 10 the mortar boards, placed
on the walls. the bricks on the top of the
mortar, without any injury.

Sleeping After Meals.

A foreign medical correspondent OF the
New York Herald points out that it is not
a good thing to sleep after meal, as by so
doing there is risk of congestion of the
head and especially of attracting toward
the brain the circulation necessary for the
process of digestion. But it must not
therefore be assumed that active exercise
is desirable after meal. A short rest fol-
lowed by very gentle exercise is preferable,
us thus the gastric juices mix more thor
oughly with the food, and the secretions in
dispensable to digestion are not impeded as
they are by active exercise.
AnRmic persons who are in no danger OF
congestion may sleep after meals with i'm
punity. But old persons subject to con-
gestion, rheumatism or rush of blood to
the head should be careful not to retire
soon after meal

Food and Fat.

Human fat is composed of 70 per cent
carbon, little over IL per cent hydrogen
and a little over 8 per cent oxygen. OF
course this fat cannot be accumulated I'M
less its ingredients are taken into the body
in food. The food which has a preponder-
ance of these ingredients can be worked off
by open air exercise. because the oxygen Of
the air uniting with the carbon goes out OF
the lungs in the form of carbonic gas and
relieves the system of SO much fat. This is
the reason why people who lead an open air
life or who live in the country or on noun
tains and breathe great deal of fresh air
are less likely to be corpulent than business
men, shopkeepers and others who are habit
ually in an atmosphere with less oxygen
and who take less exercise. Open air respira.
ton is one of the best ways to work oil fat,
says an exchange.
