 When the new motor carriages come in to use, the horse will receive another set back. It looks very much as if science were on tho point of invehting our long useful equine servant completely ont of sight. Ii ever animal would be justified in kicking, it is the horse.-ColUmbus Enquirer Sun.

Mrs. Gardner Starts For Home.

NORWICH, Conn.,, Aug S.-Mrs. Gard ner is on her way back to her Nebraska home in company with MT. Landers and City Missionary Swan. The presence of the latter is explained by the sudden but absolute refusal of Mrs. Gardner to go with Landers alone. This action is taken as a further indication of mental unsound- ness on the part of the woman, who Is still thought to be victim of dementia in spite of her vigorous assertions to the contrary. On these grounds Mrs. Gardner was under constant surveillance after her identity was discovered

CANNING VEGETABLES.

How Every Housewife May Have . Little
 Cannery, In Her Kitchen.
 The fruits nowadays are for the most part put up in glass jars, with patent tops, as this mode means comparatively little labor. But greatest success with tomatoes, corn, peas and beans usually comes to amateurs when tin cans are employed. The soldering on of the tops is the chief difficulty. An obhging cor respondent of Home and Farm, how ever, tells how one can have a little canning establishment in the kitchen. | The first step is to get a soldering outfit Lay in supply of solder, resin and | small bottle of muriatic acid; also tin cans, quarts or pints, as you may desire. i Saw off the top of an old broom handle | about inches long for a presser. When | you put the product on to cook, put on also your wash boiler half full of water. This should be at the boiling pornt when | you are ready tc fill the cans. Beans, peas, corn and vegetables of this kind must be we'll cooked, and everything must be boiling hot when put in the can. When you start to cook, put the end | of your soldering iron in the fire. Now chip off a quantity of solder with a | chisel or hatchet, put it near where you will set your cans on the table. When the l fruit is ready, dip your cans ill the hot water. Of course no water must be left ill the can. Now take a large dish or waiter and put two or three cans on it. Go to the stove and ladle the fruit from the pot into your cans. Take them to the table and wipe tops all clean. Now put &lna1 <S xIn col der around the crease. Put on enough to fill the crease.
 Now get your soldering iron, wipe the ashes off the point, take your piece of broom stick and press the lid down firmly, run your soldering iron around in the crease until all the solder is melt ed. If your solder does not stick, put on a little rosin; if it still does not stick, put on few drops of the muriatic acid. Muriatic acid will make solder stick to any kind of metal When your soldering iron does not melt the solder readily and you are sure it is hot enough, put five or six drops of the acid on a board and rub the point all over ill it. It will then work. When your cans are all seal ed, tumble them into your wash boiler and let them boil hard for half an hour. Take them out and set in a TOW on the table. In two or three minutes put your ear close to each one, and if you can de- tect the slightest hissing sound set the can aside. It will not keep. All which are free from this will keep for years. With your soldering iron open the de- fective can and put the contents back ill the pot for another trial. Keep your fruit where it will not freeze. When you want to use the fruit, use your solder. ing iron to open the can. Empty it i'm mediately, wash with soap and hot wa
 ter, dry and rub lard inside and outside
 heating it little so the lard will get into all the crevices. Cans treated il this way may be used for years.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
HOW THEY CAGE TIGERS.


 Little Bundle or Blazing Straw Fright
 ems the Widest Beast.
 A writer who paid visit to Jamrach's wild beast establishment in London has his to say:
 Now, there are at the moment am writing two beautiful Bengal tiger cubs h one of the cages The cubs are old snough to be dangerous, so if I tell you she way saw them put into the cage they now inhabit you will know little of how wild animals are transferred from one place of confinement to another.
 The boxes that tigers and lions come in are not very big-just big enough to allow the inmates to lie comfortably. This, besides saving freight, prevents the animal from using his full strength, and perhaps in case of fright or frenzy from bursting the box.
 We'll, the box with the tiger cubs was placed in front of and partly in the open rage. A sliding door in the box was then lifted, and the cubs darted forward at the meat that was lying in the far corner of the cage to tempt them. Mean while the box was quickly withdrawn, and the barred gate of the cage was quickly shut.
 It is easy, however, to transfer an ami mal from confined box to large cage. He is going then from captivity to com- parative liberty. It is not So easy-in- deed it is extremely difficult-to get him to go through the reverse process, to walk from a large cage into box. If there be time, he can always be made to do it quietly enough.
 I Give him no food in the large cage, but put it in the box. He may even hold out for days. Hunger. however, will l prove in the end stronger than his fears, 1 and he will, with a growl, make dash for the joints, when the trap will be closed against him.
 1 It isn't always possible to wait fol hunger to make him submit. Perhaps the animal is wanted tomorrow, anG the dealer has got the order only today and must catch the train with him at o'clock ill the afternoon. What is to bt done now?
 Here mans superior intelligence shows itself. It is fear that prevents th' animal from entering the box, and thi fear must be overcome by a greater fear This is an easy matter to the anima dealer, with his knowledge of animals
 He simply sets light to little bundl' of dry straw in the cage. This is enough The animals fear of fire makes him fl. at any outlet of escape. Little Folks.

LOST ON THE BANKS.
The Suffsrings of Two Fishermen Adrift II
 the Fog.

Cne rOSs
 BOSTON, Aug. S.-The Warren line steamer Cambroman, Captain Jones' which arrived from Liverpool, picked up Charles F. Blinn and Peter Anderson two of the crew of the Gloucester fishing schooner w. K. Mcdonald, who were astray from their vessel and who had been 55 hours without food and with only what water they were enabled to catch in their sou'westers during a shower.
 Blinn is an American, and Anderson is Dane. They were lost in the fog while tending travis. The men were greatly exhausted and had almost given up hope of rescue, as in the thick fogs they had been passed by steamers which were near enough for the lost men to hear the swish of the prorellers, but which failed to hear the shouts of the fishermen. Fortunately the fog lifted just as the Cambroman came in sight, and the men were picked mp and cared for by the officers and crew of the steamer.
