An Age OF W0niers.

This is a wonderful age We are liv,
inc in-a wonderful age, and this is
wonderful country. 1t is doubtful il
any of the effete Old World dynasties
can produce such things, borderingoa
the miraculous, rs are becoming al.
most everyday occurrences IN this land
of the free, says the Erie Herald.
A few days ago the press dispatched
announced that somv fellow out in
Missouri had discovered coal. There
was nothing so remarkable about the
fact that coal had been discovered.
The remarkable feature of the case is
that this particular quality of coal
emits no smoke VIXEN burned. Ac-
cording to the report, you could build
a fire OF this coal N the centre of your
parlor floor and be unable 70 find
particle of smoke in the room. In the
words of Colonel Mulberry Sellers,
"there's millions in it.
But this truly strange case is per.
maps outdone by one which is alleged
to have recently occurred IN the salu-
brious climate OF California. The
veracious chronicle states that some
thirty wears ago one John Bahler, then
residing in Wisconsin, lost his eye
sight and subsequently had both eye
balls taken out, the end of the optic
nerve being left .s a stub in each case.
Right here IS win.e the wonder comes
in. Don't miss it. About year ago,
at his home in Fresno, Mr.. Bahler sud-
denly saw the light of lamp placed
opposite to him on the other side of
room, and the examination showed
that new eyebaIlo were growing on the
ends OF the optic nerves.
Since that time his sight has grad
1ally improved, until now he can
shoot rife with considerable accu.
racy.
Indeed, this is Il great country, and
isn't anywhere near developed yet.

green corn right here i'll Pennsylvania,
but the boun Hess West contains still
greater possibilities than the East, and
If old Europe can produce any such
wonders or special newspaper corre-

An Ancient Alligator.

An alligator has just been killed i'll
Louisiana that is known to have been
12O years old. In 1773 the great great
grandfather of the present owner of
the plantation on which this alligator
was killed purchased the plantation.
His first work was to rid it of alliga-
tors. He raided family of alligators
and killed all but one, who escaped,
leaving Q portion of his tail. This alli
gator was seen from time to time and
recognized because part of his tail was
gone. The alligator was never tanned,
but in q general way received the care
and protection of each member of the
family through the four generations.
A visitor to the plantation saw a great
alligator lying on the bank. He raised
his gun, but it required several shots
before the animal was killed. He was
delighted with the success, when his
host came up and showed his sorrow
at what his guest had done. The alli-
gator was buried on the banks of the
stream, the entire family attending
the obsequies.-New York Observer.

They pulled and pulled. but COULD not

Euns upon the Patent Office, DIR.
Thornton, throwing himself directly
before the guns, cried:
'Are you Englishmen or Cloths and
Vandals? This is the Patent Office

rentions of the American Nation, in
which the whole civilized world is in

Then let the charge pass through my

And the building was spared.

New YORK, Oct. 10, 1895.

NEW oRK, Oct. 10, 1895.
DEAR HosA:-
am visiting Sue Spendthrift. Sue
has got a new dress and new baby.
1t is charming-the baby mean-and
he dress is very swell.
Sues husband is a grea. foot ball
hend, and he told me contidentially
that that dress made Sue tally one for
hbre chamois, because she wore it out
In rain storm and the water did not
go through either her skirt or her
sleeves, both being interlined with the
-eal fibre chamois.
was astonished. for actually the
dress seemed as fresh and new as 1t was
the first day she wore it-not bit
drawn up in the skirt as mine which
is interiined with hair cloth, was the
day 1t got wet. So l asked Sue how
she managed to keep it so nice.
Sue said all she did was to shake the
water off as well as she could, and
when she got home she hung the skirt
up to dry by the loops on the waist
band and the waist by the sleeve loops
and let the dress alone till she got ready
put it on again.
Sues husband says she ought to have
tried the same trick on the baby, for
the poor little darling got terribly wet
and has been drawn up with cold ever
since.
Yours lovingly,

RECIPE FOR PEACH sHoRrcAKE.

Use canned peaches and prepared
flour for this dish. Chop quarter of a
pound of butter into quart of pre-
pared -four; quickly stir into it
enough sweet milk to make soft
dough; pat this into two round cakes
upon buttered tin pie-plates and bake
them in a hot oven. Meantime open
a can of peaches; reserve the finest for
the two top layers and cut the rest in
small quarters. When the shortcakes
in the oven are done and cool enough
to handle tear them open with the aid
of fork, butter the inside, divide the
cut peaches upon the two bottom layers
and arrange the fine ones on the others,
thickly dust all with sifted powdered
sugar, lay the tops upon both under
pieces and serve the shortcakes with
more sifted sugar and sweet cream.
The Juice Of the canned peaches, well
sweetened with powered sugar, can be
used instead of cream.-New York
Commercial Advertiser.

Discovered BY accident,

II il curious the way thls some OF
mr most useful Appliances were IN
rented or discovered. We are toll
hat some Venetian mariners built q
Ire on Q beach where there was sand
mixed with soda, and that they were
mrprised to find that the sand melted
md formed q transformed compost
ion. Some rejecting man was in the
party, and by this accidental melting
If the sand discovered how to make
,lass.
Years after this the children be-
onging to q Dutch spectacle maker
we're playing with the glasses which
heir father used, and they made the
discovery that by putting one glass IN
tront of the other they could make the
steeplo of 0 neighboring church ap-
pear nearer. Their father had sharp
aess enough to use this accidental dis
,overy in making the first telescope.
Most engineers are familiar with the
story of how the steam engine was
irst made automatic. In the early
rude forms of the Newcomer engine q
boy was employed to open and shut
the cocks which admitted steam and
the condsnsing water. A boy named
Humphrey Potter. who was engaged
on this work, was anxious to play, and
the movement of the engine gave him
very little opportunity. To increase
his leisure he devised an arrangement
of strings connected with the walking
beam, which opened and shut the
cocks. This was the first move toward
making the engines mechanism to
perform the operations of admitting
and releasing steam.
The moving of a distant signal by
means of q wire seems a very simple
operation, and one which called for
little ingenuity to invent. Still the
earlier raj road engineers could not
devise satisfactory means of operating
q distant signal until working signal
man showed them the way. 1t is told
that in 1916 an English signal man had
to attend to two signals, placed some
distance apart at a station.
To save himself the trouble of walk
ing to and fro between them he pro-
cured some wire and pulleys and made
q crude arrangement by which he Was
able while in his box to operate both
signals. An official who had been try
ing to devise some means OF protect
ing trains standing at stations hap
pened to see this primitive arrange
lnent and applied it to the working of
distant signals. s.--Locomotive Engineer

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Always broil beefsteak over a char
coal fire.
Never roll q glove. Smooth out the
fingers and lay them straight in box
or drawer.
Canned fruit that has been left over
should be carefully watched at this
season of the year.
Silk handkerchiefs and ribbons
should be washed in salt and water and
ironed wet to obtain the best results.
All traces of mud can easily be re-
moved from black clothing by rubbing
the spots with q raw potato cut in
half.
There is nothing like hot water and
the rubber bandage for q sprain. The
hot water soothes lscerated ligaments !;
;he bandage prevents swelling. Lini-
nents are worse than useless.
For polishing furniture, stained
doors and picture frames, melt bees
wax, turpentine and sweet oil together
and rub it on with . piece of soft
:loth.
To make boots waterproof, boil one
quart of inseed oil with half pound
Of Venice turpentine. While the mix
ture is still warm, but not hot, paint
the leather until it will absorb nc
mere.
A blotter can be made that will re-
move ink spots from paper. Take a
thick blotting paper and steep it sew
eral times in q solution of oxaE. acid.
While the ink is moist apply the blot
ter, and the ink will be entirely re-
moved.
To clean ostrich plumes dissolve four
ounces of white soap in four pints OF
