A Durable Paste.-Four parts, by
: weight, OF glue are allowed to soften
in fifteen parts of cold water for some
hours, and are then moderately heated
till the solution becomes clear. Sixty
/ five parts OF boiling water are now
added, with stirring. In another ves-
sci thirty parts Of starch paste are
stirred up with twenty parts of cold
water, so that a thin milky fluid is
obtained without Jumps. Into this
the boiling glue solution is poured,
with constant stirring, and the whole
kept at boiling temperature. After
cooling, ten drops of carbolic acid are
added to the paste. This paste is OF
extraordinary adhesive power and may
be used for leather, paper or card
board with great success. 1t must be
preserved in closed bottles, and will
keep for years.

EdtsOnss Idea.

For Ii years Elias Howe worked
and worried over the sewing machine
before he made it so. The trouble
was that he could not conceive OF
needle with its eye in the point, but
chung to the old fashioned notion.
At last the true solution came to him
in a dream, it is said-the needle with
its eye in the point.
So the experimenters through long
years have tried to make flying ma
chimes on old models. Something
that initiates either balloon or bird
is the utmost they can conceive of ap-
parently. They seem to be as far
from success as Elias Howe was when
he tried to build the sewing machine
needle with its eye in the head.
Edison has the nearest thing to an
original conception of q plan to navi-
gate the air. His idea is not new, it
is true, being that of literal ship,
with sails and ballast, but the way he
would make it rise and move is new.
Mr.. Edison declares that the aero
plane will never be a success because
it is so heavy it cannot be managed ;
neither will the car be upheld by gas
balloon, because it cannot be steered.
He would cut the knot by making the
sails gasbags. There would be a main
sail, topsail and jib. Each of these
would be simply . bag Of gas in the
shape of sail.
When they were inflated, they
would cause the ship to rise. Once
in the air it would be propelled by the
wind, just as sailing vessel in the
water is. By means of the sails it
could be steered and controlled pre-
cisely as the chip in the water is.
Thus he would dispense with all bat
teries, steam engines or other mo-
tive power and trust to the wind. If
one wished to 90 very fast, he could
rise higher from the earth. And he
thinks, Edison does, that the time
will came when we shall have yacht
races between Valkyries and Defend
ers in the air.

To Cure Hams.

This recipe for curing hams, n sub
scriber says is the best she has ever
used: Allow them to get cold all
through, then lay them on board in a
cool, dry cellar, skin side down. For
fifty pounds OF meat, mix two pounds
of fine salt, one ounce OF powdered
saltpetre and two of brown sugar.
Rub this we'll into the meat, until it
will take no more, and pack some into
the hook around the bone. What salt
is left should be rubbed into it again
at the end OF week. Let them lie
for two weeks, then hang up. They
are improved by smoking with hickory
or apple chips. Set fire to them, then
another under sawdust until only
smoke escapes. If no smoke house is
at hand they may be smoked under a
barrel.

Baron Blanc. He proceeded then to con-
denim the previous government, whose pol
icy of sending handful of men against
strong military power he had never ap-
proved.
Regarding the relations with England,
the premier said they were those OF tradl-
tional and affectionate friendship. 1t was
therefore strange that Baron Blanc,
the former minister of foreign
affairs, claimed the honor of having
effected the alliance. The position OF
Italy. with regard to Caesala. he contin-
ued, brought her into intimate relations
with England. The government wished TO
maintain Erythera in a strong military
position, but it would renounce all desire
Of conquest in Tgre, and would not in
clude a clause for q protectorate in the
peace treaty. That, he said. was not a
surrender, because the protectorate over
Abyssinia was never established. and was
a mere ambition of the previous ministry.
Such, said the premier, we're the condi-
tions under which the government would
continue the war if it was unable to con-
clude worthy peace.

which had killed her keeper and escaped
from her quarters. charged up and down
the streets and alleys of the west side
this afternoon, and although escorted in
her wanderings by small army of police
men, was not captured until late tonight.
The animal was the big elephant Gypsy,
attached to a travelling show. Frank Scott,
whom she killed this afternoon, has had
charge of her for a number of years.
About o'clock he went into the stall where
the big beast was confined and cast her
loose. He then drove her into the alley
and proceeded to give her the daily exer-
else. Scott mounted Gypsy's head and
rode her around for a few m inutes. finally
stopping her nearly in front of the barn.
Reaching over in front, Scott jammed the
iron hook, with which he controlled the
beast, into her flesh just above the right
eye. Then he slid down her forehead to
the ground.
Scarcely had his feet touched the ground
when Gypsy RAISED her trunk and threw
Scott to the ground. She then seized the
man in her trunk, raised him him high in
the air and hurled him against the doors
of shed.
The force with which he was cast against
the doors broke them down and Scott
landed on the ground inside, crushed and
broken.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25.-To the sur

Davidson was acquitted of the charge of
eatorting $500 from Rev. q. q. Brown in
the superior court today. The rapidty
with which the verdict was rendered al
most took ,he breath away from those in
terested. DIR. Brown, the only witness for
the prosecution, was responsible for the
verdict by his own testimony. He testified
that he paid the money to Mrs. Davidson,
and when asked if the money was paid
through fear said it was paid only to secure
written evidence in the form of receipt
against Mrs. Davidson. Brown was asked
the question half dozen times in various
forms, but stuck to his reply. Thereupon
the court instructed the jury to acquit,
which was done. When seen after her
arguittal Mrs. Davidson declined to be in
tervewed as to her future actions. She
expressed satisfaction at the advertise
ment her business had received from the
Overmsn letters and said she would re-
main in San Francisco.
