How to Dry Wet Shoes.

When, without overshoes, you have
been caught in a heavy rain storm,
perhaps you have known already what
to do with your best kid boots, which
have been thoroughly wet through,
and which, if left to dry in the ordinary
way, will be stiff, brittle and unlovely.
If not. you will be glad to learn what
heard only recently from one whose
experience is of value. First wipe off
gently with a soft cloth all surface
water and mud then, while still wet,
rub well with kerosene oil, using for
the purpose the furred side of Canton
flannel. Set them aside till partially
dry, when second treatment with oil
is advisable. They may then be depos-
tied in conveniently warm place,
where they will dry gradually and
thoroughly. Before applying French
Undressing give them final rubbing
with the flannel, still slightly damp
encd with kerosene, and your boots
will be soft and flexible as new kid,
and oe very little affected by their
bath in the rain.-Harper's Bazaar.

Queer Drinking Vessels.

The term boot leg" applied to very
tall beer glass commonly set out to
regular customers in 'longshore saloons
may owe its origin to a misapprehen-
sion, or pretended misapprehension, of
the French touching on old English
drinking vessel. The black jack, a
leather bottle sometimes lined with
silver, was common drinking vessel
in England two or three centuries ago,
and even earlier, and, indeed, it still
survives. According to a curious old
book of the seventeenth century, when
Frenchmen saw these vessels in use at
the English court, they took back to
France the story that the English drank
out of their boots.--N. Y. Sun.

Crow Catching In India,

In order to catch crows after the
gypsy fashion in India, it is necessary
to have captive crow always on hand.
This crow must he laid upon its back
and its wings pegged to the earth with
forked sticks. Immediately free crow
will attack it and the captive crow,
Selling the free one with its claws, will
hold it tight. Crow No. 2 must then be
tlken and pegged down also. Other
COWS will come and two more will
som be caught They must also be
laid out with the pegs, and then the
four captives will take four other
crows. This plan is followed until the
hunter hasuaken all the crows he de-

A HORSE PLAY.
The Ring Violently Excludes

A Riotous Assembly in Which the Expression of a Popular Wish
 Is Suppressed.

Insult has been added to injury. In other words Lit has been rubbed in" All this has to do with what was in- tended to be citizens convention last night meeting of Democrats to re- monstrate against the unfair methods by which democratic city ticket was nominated on Saturday night.
 The call was quite dignifed and plainly stated, but the response was something remarkable. A large num- Der of respectable Democrats were on hand early but larger number of strik- CTS of the gang had made violent seiz- ure of the meeting and the curtain rose on the first act of gigantic horse drama. There were many drawn by curiosity, Republicans and Democrats and on their entrance to the assem mbly room were greeted with ovations so vo clferous that the neighborhood was dis turbed within radius of half dozen blocks. There was strong probability that no attempt at business would be made until Capt. Mcdonald arrived.

LONE BUT COOL. The Usual California
 Stage Robbery And the Usual Lone
 HighWayman. He Orders the Broken Treasure Box Fixed at His Expense. The Passengers Stood Up in a Row While the Robper Leisurely
 Secured the Cash.

By the Associated Press.
 MILTON, Cal, April 16.-The stage from Angeles to this place was stopped by single highwavman this morning about three miles this side of Altaville. He cut the band of the iron stage safe of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express and broke the lid with cold chisel and took two sacks of silver coin, estimated to contain about $2,OO0 The pas sengers were all stood up in line with their back to the stage but were not molested.
 One of them would try to look around until the robber threatened to blow his head off then he attended to his busi- ness. The other passengers were all frightened fearing his foolishness would get them into trouble. The robber worked very coolly and seemed to be we'll acquainted with the names of the parties and the locality as he told Fred Wesson, the driver, to tell the agent at Milton that he had taken the silver and to have the box fixed at his expense.
 Officers have good description of the robber and are on his trail. It is gen. erally believed that there were more than one man in this robbery. The man who did the work, from his descrip- tion, is presumed to be one of the same men who were in the holdup of March 7.

At his suggestion Dr. Wharton was elected chairman and half the audience was nominated for secretary. The gang was conspicuous in making the nominations and suc- ceeded in casting such an odium upon the meeting that no man cared to ex- pose himself to ridicule to no apparent purpose.
 At length Thos. Newcum accepted the office and an attempt was seriously made to nominate a ticket. The Ga zette strikers had however gotten in their work and created 8 stampede so that those who had come there for busi ness plainly saw that the time for busi- ness had passed. At length the farce came to an end on 8 motion to adjourn until next Saturday night which is in effect sine die adjournment as at that date the legal limit within which a ticket may be nominated will have ex- pired.
