Illicit Still in Thctford.


WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, April ia
special to the Messenger says: Eugene Ilsley,
the notorious moonshiner of Thetford, was
arrested at midnight Thursday night, and
his still broken up.
About two years ago the revenue officers
rau down and arrested the notorious Oar
ling Eastman of Corinth. Eastman was
king of the moonshincrs and his arrest and
Imprisonment did much toward stopping the
Illegal traffic. After Eastman's capture
llolev was the acknowledged leader of moon
shining operations in that section.
After Eastman's capture Ilsley laid low,
but of late he has been operating in a bold
er way and rumors of his distillery came to
Deputy Collector Weeks of St Adams about
two weeks ago. After careful investiga-
ton of the case, Deputy Collector Weeks,
United States Attorney j. II. Senter of
Montpelier, j. A. Boswell of Randolph,

In teams the party drove over the wild and
mountainous road to STAFFORD village and
from there TO the home of the moonshiner,
who lives on a side road Just in the edge
OF the town of Thctford The still was sup
posed to be located in an old deserted house.

At midnight the party started for the de
serted house, ana after a hard tramp over
n path SO rough that to traverse it in day
light would be no easy task. the house was
reached. a knock at the door alarmed two
dogs, whose barking awakened Ilsey, who
asked what was wanted. After some par
leying he saw there was no chance TO escape
as the officers were fully armed, admitted
them to the house, and confessed that he
had manufactured little cider brandy for
his own use. Leaving Ilsley under guard,
Collector Weeks and Attorney Senter began
search for the still. 1t was the work
of but few minutes to locate it in the eel

OLD OCEANS FURY
AWFUL LOSS OF LIFE ALONG THE

HIGHLAND Light, Mass, April 13.--Since
the night of December D when the British

ABOUT COSMETICS.

Without doubt the only permanent
aid to beauty is a sound mind in a
sound body. As early as the days of
Aspasia in Greece and Cleopatra in
Egypt, artificial means for Enhancing
the beauty and improving the com
plexion were in use. The word Zoos
metic" does not mean paints and
washes for the face, as is generally
understood nowadays. 1t means
adjoining, and applies to every part
of the toilet, and even to the dress.
1t is the art of embellishing every
thing we see, whether face, neck,
shoulders, arms, hands, hair, feet or
breast. In medicine it goes even
further, but its mission to the world
OF beauty suffices us for the present.
The ancient Hebrews, Greeks and
Romans were the masters of the art
of cosmetics. The Bible gives recipes
for their use, and we read of Hebrew
women passing the greater part Of
the day in adjoining themselves. In
Rome the art of increasing the beauty
at one time became a popular frenzy.
1t is told of a patrician Roman lady
that she had no less than eighteen
women to help her at her ooilet; and
to each was intrusted only one part
of the person. When a Roman lady
arose in the morning, her first act
was to plunge into bath of per-
tuned oil, and afterwards into bath of
tepid water which had been sprinkled
with oil of roses. Perfumed soaps
that were worth their weight in gold
were used in these baths. Gray hair
was always died black, but some
women preferred golden yellow, or
even a blue. Roman women pre-
ferred to look pale, and consequently
powdered their cheeks with prepared
chalk. They were acquainted with
rouge, which was used to stain the
lips and the nails, but never on the
face. They stained their eyebrows
and eyelashes by means of smoked
pins, and delicate pink tint was
given to the insides of the nostrils
with carmine. Manicures and petit
cures were well known to the Romans,
and rich ladies would keep several in
their employ.
During the Reformation cosmetics
went out of favor, but they were soon
revived in France. At the present
time balms and other forms of cos
metics are so extensively advertised
that we must believe they are very
generally used. In the daytime it is
easy to detect the dyed hair or the
stained face, and the electric light is
keen detective of such superficial
beauty.
After all, sound health and con-
tented mind are the two greatest
beautifiers in the world-with the
decided advantage in their favor,
that the beauty they give improves
in the sunlight and does not vanish
when the oasis turned on.

Ice From Natural Gas.

1t is announced that an Indiana
firm has constructed refrigerator
for making ice with natural gas. 1t
is well known that when gases are
compressed they part with portion
of their heat, and, as they expand
again, take back the same amount
from bodies in contact with them.
Gases thus deprived of heat can be
made to take it from Interchangeable
fluids, which in this way accumulate
cold, that may be applied to the
freezing OF water. Application OF
this principle has been made of the
cold produced by the sudden expan-
sion of compressed air to the pro-
duction of ice. Powerful and ex-
pensive ms sHry is required to
compress cool it. Ammonia
machines "a pressure of from
l20 to Is ounds per square inch.
These gentlemen hold that all that is
required for making ice with natural
gas, except the refrigerator and cans,
is provided for by expanding it from
its initial pressure to the atmospheric
pressure, nature having done all the
work of compression and cooling and
made it ready to absorb the heat
made latent and freeze the water into
ice.
An ordinary gas well, furnishing
| l,500, 600 feet per day, with suita.
bic refrigerating apparatus, is capa-
Bile of making tifty-one tons of ice at
an expense not to exceed fifty cents
per ton; and then, by conducting it
to furnaces or rolling mills, glass
works, brick, lime or pottery kilns, it
would produce the same amount of
heat as if it was delivered directly
from the well. Philadelphia Record.

The Latest Horse Collar.

The pneumatic horse-collar is the
latest invention of this marvellously
inventive age. The part which comes
in contact with the horse is as
smooth as glass and sufficiently pill
able to give with every motion of the
animal. The air valves are so con-
structed as to preclude the posi-
bility of any leakage, even under the
heaviest pressure, and are covered by
neatly laced leather flaps, leaving
the surface perfectly even.
The highest veterinary surgeon of
Canada, where the invention origin
ated, says: ~ expect it to be a
valuable preventive of sore should
ers and muscular strains arising from
badly fitting and sweat-hardened
coliars, especially during hot weather,
by fitting the neck and shoulders ac-
'curately ans rebounding from the
skin when the pressure ceases, thus
allowing the air to cool and soothe

His Grounds for postponement.


Perhaps the best specimen of wit
thathas enliyened Hamilton County
Court in many day was that emit
ted like a flash from John Coffey, the
attorney, who has been guilty of d
good many things that had disturbed
the serenity Of bench and bar. Mr..
Coffey was counsel In case which
had already been postponed some two
or three times at his request. 1t was
before Judge Outcalt. Again Mr..
Coffey asked for postponement. The
court reminded him that it had al
ready been postponed several times
at his request Have you good
grounds for wishing another post
ponement?" "Yes, sir, l have" re-
piled Coffey. "What are they?n
asked the court. "Coffey grounds,
your honor" "Coffee grounds" re-
,peated the judge. Eyes, SIR" said
John. Then the judge got on his
dignity and reminded the lawyer
that he was trifiing with the court
"Your honor, said Mr.. Coffey, "there
was small addition to my family
last night and 1 submit, your honor,
that that is good grounds for asking
for postponement. Did John get
his postponement? Well, rather. And
Judge Outcalt nearly fell from the
bench. "Coffey groundsl" - Cincin,
