Whistling Fireworks.

Gently were whistling pieces, which in
burning give q wild, screaming noise.
There is some mystery about how this

bore of about ] inch. About two inches

Household Accidents.

A slight cut or abrasion of the hand,
or q slight burn, may become a serioul
matter if it is totally neglected. Where
the skin is torn or cut it Is desirabl,

and very slight wound Of the hand

One Of the greatest dangers lies i,
= wound of a kitchen knife, which
may have held impure matter, and
even from the scratch Of a pin, and
fatal cases of blood d-poisoning have fre.
quently resulted from SO simple {
cause. Absolute cleanliness, therefore,
is necessary in the treatment of such 8
wound. After the wound has bled 9
little it should be washed with perfectly
clean water. That which has been
boiled is best for the purpose, and
there is no harm in using q little car.

or two to q quart of water.
Do not attempt to stanch bleedfnl
oy the use of cobwebs, which are
naturally dirty and full of impure
germs, but use q little lint and clean
cotton or linen cloth. These should
be always kept in the houses for use in
case of such accidents. A Trustworthy
druggist will always supply some

way of cauterizing a simple wound. A
thick paste of equal parts of common

for q burn. 1t is better than lime
water, because Gme-water is liable to
become incrusted, while the paste Of

Bengal Peasant Proverbs.

The wisdom of the Bengal peasan.
cultivators finds expression in proverbs.
of which collection has been made
by Babu in the Agricultural Depart
ment of that province. His apprecia-
tion of the outwsrdly revered Brahmin
betrays itself incidentally in the
maxim. Grain and inundation disap-
pear when south winds blow, like the
Brahmin as soon as he has received his
fee."
Other Bengal rural aphorisms are
Have the land which receives tn,
washings of the village, and the bullock
which walks fast, and marry the girl
whose mother is good" ''He who
works in the field himself with the
IAborers gets the full profit; he who.
beAg unable to work himself, super
vises the workings of the laborers, gets
half the profit; he who orders the
laborers from his house does not get
enough to eat. London News.

Washington Court Hears Evideuce in the
Moseby Murder Case.
Washington, Pa, September 4.-Both
judges occupied the bench yesterday
and to-day while testimony was being
taken in the Robert Moseby case. The
defendant pleaded guilty, generally,
last week, when arraigned for murder,
and the court must determine the
grade OF guilt from the testimony adj
duced. The prosecution showed that
Robert and Frank Moseby, cousins,
lived in adjoining shanties at the Jum-
DO mines; that on March t. 50, when
Frank came from work TO dinner, Rob-
ert demanded Of him dollar; that
Frank said he did not have it, but
would give it to him on pay day; that
Robert then shot him, killing him al
most instantly. and then made his es-
cape, being captured a few days later
in an abandoned coal mine.
The defense claimed that Frank
owed Robert several dollars, and when
asked for the money that day refused
ii and told Robert he did not want him
to ask for ii again; that Robert then
sent his boarding house mistress, Mag
gle Jackson, to ask Frank for the mon
ey; that Robert, peeping through a
crack, saw Frank take revolver from
his trunk; that Frank, little later.
made a move as if TO use this weapon
and Robert shot in self-defense; thai
he then grabbed the dead mans reyol-
yer and made his escape.
