The Right to Advertise.

Every once in a while a bit of
news regarding European CONNER
cial legislation finds its way across
the ocean, and which makes loyal
Americans feel heartily glad that
they live in the land of the free. A
dispatch from Berlin states that the
Bundesrath has ordered an edict to
be issued, forbidding the public
advertising Of all patent medicines.
Of course, there is no necessity for
any argument showing the injus-
tice of such an edict. We are not
avised as to the cause of this
high-handed proceeding. Possibly
some advertisements of a baneful
and immoral character had made
their appearance. In that case
their suppression, as being against
public policy and as fostering i'm
morality, would be clearly within
the scope of governmental inter
ference, but would by no means
warrant a blanket edict against
manufacturers of legitimate char
acter. The right to advertise his
goods in all Legitimate ways is the
dearest right that the manufacture
er or dealer possesses, and the au-
thOrities that be have no more
right to hinder him in the exercise
Of this right than they have to
enter the store or office and alb
stract money from the safe or till.
Surprising Congress, or any legisla-
ture or city council attempted such
a thing in America There would
be such a demonstration that would
prove in a most conclusive manner
that the officers of the Government
and those who make the laws, hold
their offices at the hands of the
people and are creatures in their
official capacity of the public's
will.-(Stoves and Hardware Re,

Glass Dresses and Curtains.

Articles of dress are now being ex-
tensively made of glass. A venetiaI
manufacturer is turning out bonnet
by the thousands, and the glass clotI
Of which they are composed havin,
the same simmer and brilliancy OF
color as silk, and, what is great ad-
vantage, being impervious to water. In
Russia there has for long time existed
tissue manufactured from the fiber OF
a peculiar filamentous stone from the
Siberian mines, which by some secret
process, is shredded and spun into a
fabric which, although soft to the
touch and pliable in the extreme, is
of so durable a nature that it never
wears out. This is probably what has
given an enterprising firm the idea of
producing spun-glass dress lengths.
The Muscovite stuff is thrown into
the fire when dirty, like asbestos, by
which it is made absolutely clean
again; but the spun-glass silk is sim.
ply brushed with hard brush and
soap and water, and is none the worse
for being either stained or soiled. The
material is to be had in white, green,
lilac, pink and yellow, and bids fair
to become very fashionable for even
ing dresses. An Austrian is the in
ventor of this novel fabric, which is
very costly. Tablecloths, napkins and
window curtains are also made of it.
1t has also been discovered that glass
is capable OF being turned into a fine
cloth, which can be worn next to the
skin without the slightest discomfort.

RIPE PUMPKINS.
A Cheap and Healthy Food for
All Kinds of Stock.

Pumpkins are excellent for all kinds
of live stock and particularly for cows
and hogs. OF late a doubt has arisen
in the minds Of some as to their value
as COW feed, but this is due TO the
fact that they have been fed too freely.
They are a diuretic and are apt to
affect the bowels in the beginning, if
many are given, so that a shrinkage
of milk will occur. But good, ripe
pumpkins fed in moderation are ex-
celIent not only for the health of the
COW but for the texture of the butter.
Fed in connection with grain pump
kins are about the healthiest and
cheapest food for hogs. AS the crop
this season has been an excellent one,
it is well to remember that hogs so
fed will fatten much quicker than
those confined to corn alone. One
pumpkin may be given to brood sow
every day and store pigs will turn
them to equally good account. They
supply the bulk necessary to healthy
digestion and counteraCt the evil eff
fects of such a concentrated feed as
corn. Swine are particularly fond of
the seeds of the pumpkin. These are
also appreciated by chickens, but they
must be fed in moderation.(-N. Y.

At the time of the accident there were

the fire room into the engine room burst
and filed the two apartments with escap
ing steam.
James Carnegie, chief engineer, was no
in the engine room at the time of the ex
plosion. The second assistant engineer
James Fawns, was there with other assis
tants and maclSinists oiling the machiner!
and getting ready to sail. The noise o
the escaping steam which followed thu
bursting Of the valve was heard on deck
and great excitementfollowed on the ship
The cries of the men in the fire room
were also heard, and some of the crew
went to their rescue. Two or three of the
scalded men climbed up on deck. The Skin
was peeled from their faces and arms, ant
they presented horrible appearance.
When the steam had cleared away i
was found that five men had been scaldet
to death and that five others were badl,
injured, two Of whom died after reaching
the hospital The police were notified ant
ambulances were summoned from th
Hudson Street hospital. Doctors accom-
panied the ambulances to the pier, anC
did what they could to relieve the scaldet
men. The injured were then conveyed t,
the hospital.
Fawns, Manning, Campbell, Williams
and Medallion were dead before hell
reached them. They were nearest to tn
steam valve which burst, and the escap
ing steam struck them with such fore
that they were unable to help themselves
and they were scalded to death in few
minutes.
The other men who were in the fir
room at the time of the accident ran fo
their lives. All succeeded in escaping wit
the exception of those mentioned. Ed
ward Wischert, of England, the electrician
of the st. Paul, was also scalded abou
the hands and face, but not severel
enough to go to the hospital. He was at
tended on board the steamer.
The cause Of the explosion has not ye
been determined.
