To Purify Water.
New York Evening Post.


DR.. Lehman recommends to housewives
a simple means of precipitating turbid
water by the use of a solution Of alum
One hundred and thirty grains of crystal
lied alum dissolved ir one pint of water
will produce q large quantity of the puri-
flying liquid, as il is only used in the pro-
portion of one TO two grains of alum to a
gallon Of water That would require three
teaspoonfuls of the solution to every two
gallons of water After stirring il in let
the water stand a few hours. and IL will
be perfectly clean and ready TO be poured
off from the thick deposit in the bottom
If IL is then filtered ii will be in good con-
dition for drinking Even without filtering
IL will be safe 10 drink the water if IL has
not stood very long. IL has been found
that the addition OF the alum greatly re-
duces the number OF bacteria. The taste
is not affected, as the alum decomposes
in the water. and sets free compounds that
attach themselves to the muddy elements
in the water and cause them TO settle
This remedy is not for contaminated water
which should always be boiled.

cherry tree. Throughout some parts OF
the country the wild cherry-the rum
cherry and the choke cherry, different

They grow rapidly from their own seed

branches hung with the web of the cater

The caterpillar may be driven out of or

roadside cherry trees; hence. they stand as
feeding places and encourage the pests to
proong their lives and propagate their
species. Either these trees should be cut
down or the farmer should make IL his
business to destroy all caterpillars that In

Samuel M. Hartman hung himself in
his barn at Manahawkin, on Friday morn
ing. He was an early riser, and got up
according to his usual custom and built a
fire. He then went to the barn, fastened
rope to a beam, and jumped from the
manger. He was missed from the house
and search being made, he was found as
stated, his body being still warm, but life
had fed.
Hartman had suffered for long time
with kidney trouble, and it is supposed
that he became respondent and ended
his life while deranged. Mrs. Hartman
was not at home, but was summoned by
telegraph. being ignorant of the facts until
she reached the house.
Hartman was an old soldier, serving in
Co. B, 23d Regiment New Jersey Volun-
teers. He was member of Gen. A. E..

public. He was IS years of age, and for

A Murderous AssauIt.

On Wednesday evening, east Burling
ton was thrown into state of excitement
About o'clock, Mrs. James Doyle, who
keeps store near the freight station, had
closed the place for the night, and was
about to retire, when the cellar door
opened and a man walked into the room
where the woman was.
Mrs. Doyle was surprised at the intru-
sion and before she could make any out
crv or prepare to defend herself, the man,
with a quick movement, plunged a knife
into the right breast of the defenceless
woman.
Mrs. Doyle's screams frightened her as
sailant and he ran up stairs jumped to
the roof of a shed and then leaped to the
ground and escaped. Aroused by her
cries. neighbors soon focked to the as
sistance of the wounded woman, and doc
tors we're summoned To them she said
her assailant was a man named Al.
Clymer.
A hurried search of the house discov-
cred pair of shoes and the handle OF a
shoe knife, to which a half inch of the
blade was attached. having been broken
that close. The physicians probed the
wound for the balance of the blade but
did not find It.
The cut was about an inch and three
quarters deep, and half inch wide. 1t is
serious, but is not supposed to be neces-
sariiy dangerous, and the patient will re-
cover unless serious complications arise.
AS soon as possible after the cutting,
officers started after the assailant, whose
tracks in the mud were easily distinguish
able, and early the next morning the man
was captured near Florence. He was
locked up in Jail.

Book Notices.

One can hardly imagine more suita-
BILE Christmas gift for an artist friend
than the December number of The Art
Amateur AS it lies now before US, it
seems, indeed, a treasury of Art, both
for the art student, to whom it is ne
cessty, and the general reader. On open
ing it we find two charming color plates,
absolute fac Simikes of costly paintings !;
"a summer evening" by E. Stakeholder
Ter, and "Pufple and gold' (pansies), by
Maud Stumm. Then there is very
large life study in charcoal, printed on
gray blue paper and eight pages of Work
ing designs for china and glass painting,
embroidery, wood carving, &c" Special
attention is paid to the needs of those
learning to become illustrators. The prac-
teal articles also include "Drapery upon
the human figure" Pen studies OF Heads,
Flower drawing in pen and ink, Flower
painting in oil, Flower painting in wa
ter colors," Portrait painting" Land
scape painting" and Designing for Ii
thographers, ;" an excellent field. China
painting" is covered by such expert
writers as Mrs. S. S. Frackelton, Mrs.
Anna B. Leonard, Charles Volkmer, and
C. E. Brady, and the pages overflow with
pretty designs and artistic fancles. For
the house we find illustrated Suggestions
for library" and papers on 1.-THE Hang
ing of pictures" "Flowers and plants IN
home decoration Embroidery" Light
wrought iron work." and designs for
chip carving" just simple enough for
our manual training classes. THE Dec
grafton of churches at Christmas" and
christian topography and symbolism, y
are also treated of. Besides all this,
there is an article on the late Albert
Moore, with illustrations of his work,
and one on "The Art Institute of Chi
cago," with a splendid double page wood
engraving. The illustrations, indeed, are
we'll worthy OF the text, including re-
productions from masterpieces Of paint

The December term of the Ocean Coun-
ty Courts opened on Tuesday.
On the Circuit list was the case of Eliz-
abeth Speck and husband vs. James h.
Speck Charles E. Hendrickson for plain
tiff; |. w. Carmichael for defendant. II
went over for the term on affidavit.
The application of Charles G. Inlay Of
Hornerstown, for wholesale liquor
license was laid over.
l. W. Carmichael as counsel presented
the application of one fifth of the legal
voters of Jackson township for special
election to fix license fees under the
Werts Liquor Law. Petition was filed
and an order for notice of hearing on
January 5, 1895, at the residence of Judge
VanSyckle at Trenton. Jackson has been
practically dry township since the last
April term, when its two licensed houses
were refused further licenses.
case was disposed of by the Ocean
County Court, yesterday, which not only
Supreme Court Justice VanSyckel, but
all the lawyers present, declared to be
the most unique case that ever came un
der their notice. John A. Shinn, a res
taurant keeper at West Creek, appeared
and pleaded guilty to an indictment for
keeping a disorderly house, he having
first himself lodged the complaint with
the grand jury that resulted in his in
dictment. Shinn had several automatic
dice throwing and other slot machines fol
gambling in his restaurant, and when be
was informed by his neighbors that he
was transgressing the law, he went before
a justice of the peace, and swore out g
complaint against himself, and had il
presented to the grand jury. Sentence
was suspended on him till the next term
of court.
Herbert R. Parker, indicted for stealing
a bicvcle, $40 in cash, ETC., from c. II
Shinn, Lakewood, pleaded guilty, and will
be sentenced to-day.

Fire Rngs CAPTURED.

Five men, supposed to belong to party
of fire bugs which has been terrorlzing
the people of Allentown and vicinity for
the past six or eight years, were arrested
on Saturday through the confession of one
of them made to detective who has
been at work on the case for the last
month or so. They are now locked up in
the Monmouth county Jail at Freehold,
and others implicated will be arrested as
soon as they can be secured.
The men arrested were Arthur New
man, Walter Newman, William Conover,
William VanAcken and Oliver North, all
of Allentown and vicinity Arthur New
man made the statement to the detec-
tives which implicated the other four, as
well as himself and one or two others.
The information was given by Newman
on Friday night, the detectives having
got him intoxicated.
1t appears from the confession that all
the fires were melted by revenge, one or
another of the parties having at some
time worked on each of the farms on
which buildings were burned.
The list of fires is as follows: The barns
and outbuildings of George l. Hendrick-
son, May l, 1887. and Charles P Rue. the
next day. The barn of Henry P Inlay.
of Imlaystown, was burned August 26,
