Chicago Record. It is asserted that
the stealing OF current from trolley cir.
cults for use Ia houses, saloons and stores
is becoming very common. This is not
surprising in view of the ease with which
the tapping OF the circuit can be effected.
A simple test for determining the source
OF any suspected electric lighting was
put in practice recently with conclusive
results. A station superintendent. in
passing saloon, noticed the electric
lights 90 out and then start up brightly
again, as the incandescent lights in the
trolley cars sometimes do. He thought
that was queer way for the lights sup
piled by bis station to behave, and he de-
cided to investigate. Being familiar with
the technical differences between the css-
rent system for lighting and the method OF
supplying electrical power for the propul-
sion and illuminating OF cars, he knew
that by a very simple experiment he could
find out something more as to the source
of the supply Of the current. A lighting
company wires building so that any
incandescent light in it may be shut off
or taken ont without affecting the others.
In railway plant the lights are fed in
such way that il one is shut off all cease
to glow. The superintendent quietly
passed into side room and unscrewed
one of the incandescent bulbs. AS he
expected. all the lights ON the same wire
went out. On the following night the
current supplying the electric line on that
street, was by agreement, cut off at q
certain time. At that moment the illum'
ination In the saloon ceased. When the
current was turned on again the saloon
was again lighted up. Examination
showed that the wire had been tapped
near the saloon, the connection with the
feed wire being made by means Of nail.
A large number OF similar "taps" we're
found. In some cases the job had been
done by bogus ''station man," who bad
called Regularly for payment OF the cur
rent supposed to have been consumed.
This, at all events, was the story told by
some of those who were found using the
stolen current.

Senator Vest tells of venerable demo-
cratic farmer in his state, who had been
the party leader in his country for years
and was noted for his zeal and loyalty.
He lived miles from railroad, and read
only an agricultural paper. During the
democratic convention OF 1876 he asked
some OF the neighbors' boys to ride to the
station and find out who was nominated.
The Beecher trial had recently concluded,
and had been the principal topic OF con-
versation in that neighborhood. so when
the boys were on the way back they de-
cided to have little fun with the old
gentleman. He was leaning over the
gate as they came in sight, watching for
them, and as they rode up he called out.

what's ln An Egg.

There is no single production more
fruitful than an egg. 1t is the centraliza.
ton OF most wonderful vitality. Ii left
to the hen there is blood and bones and
feathers, that come forth as thing Of
life at the end of incubation. To the in
valid there is comfort, strength and re-
turning vlgor in an egg. To the houou-
wife the egg embodies richness and light
ness for her cakes and bread, clearness
for her coffee, and dish of especial
richness and good flavor for the table,
when, perhaps the meat has run short.
The druggist finds need for the egg in his
business and the wine maker could
scarcely succeed without it. The hlar-
ious chap often calls for the egg to mix
with the drink he calls good. The artist
finds need for the egg in embellishing
things OF beauty. The old folks used to
seal their fruit jars with the white OF the
egg, and fruit 30 sealed always come forth
fresh and free from mildew. Applied to
scald or burn, the white OF an egg is
cooling and healing and brings relief to
the sufferer by the efiectual exclusion OF
the air. The paper manufacturer has
use for the egg and 80 has the laundry
man. Severe cases OF dyseptery have
been cured by simply swallowing the
white of an egg and mixed with French
brandy it will effect cure in almost any
case. Indeed, the virtue of the egg is
great, and its prodution a necessity.

The Berlin Vossische Zeitung publishes
further particulars of the wreck of the
balloon Jupiter. NJ. Boiteux, one Of the
seronants, says:
we found ourselves in such thick clouds
that we could distinguish nothing. Sud.
denly the Jupiter lay on one side and the
car leaped terribly. At the same time
We were dashed by large hailstones and
heavy rain. We were driven forward
with bewildering speed. In our fright
we threw out everything that our hands
came across. The balloon sprang upward
like an arrow and soon passed through
the clouds. We we've under clear sky,
in the light OF the setting sun. Gradu.
ally it grew colder and colder, and our
wet clothes were frozen stiff Crippillon
fell fainting to the bottom OF the boat,
and we others were not much better off.
We were all bleeding for the hail bad
wounded us. As I looked out saw a
large black cloud moving from southwest
to northeast. But we still rose. Then /
saw nothing more. The blood streamed
from my nose and ears. My hands were
frozen hard as board.
I'm few minutes we had risen to a
height of nearly 5000 yards. Then we
began to sink, first slowly, then rapidly.
All at once we were again in complete
darkness. We were in the midst of thun.
der clouds. Again, amid hail and rain.
The wind drove the Jupiter on at speed
of ninety miles an hour. We were
blinded by the hail and could scarcely
breathe. But | did not lose hope oil
reaching the earth safely. The hail and
rain now began to be mixed with leaves
and particles of earth. The car was
violently shaken, and we fell against
each other, and had to hold onto the
ropes. Then we began to drag along the
ground. The balloon suddenly rose again
let my rope 80 and was dashed to the
ground. Legrand believed that | hac
voluntarily jumped out. He jumped at
ter me. and fell near me with a broker
leg. Thus lightened of weight, the bal
loon rose more rapidly. Rushing through
the tree tops it went on about six miles
in the direction of Gretz. As it hung on
the top OF tree Foucard tried to land
caught rope, but was thrown violently
to the earth. A woman saw the balloon
hanging in the trees and sent the people
at her inn to our assistance. Foucard
was found covered with mud and ice, his
face all torn. He still breathed. When
his head was raised with the intention OF
giving him stimulants lac was seized with
convulsion and soon expired.
GAS he was carried away weak voice
was heard calling from the car for help.
Two ladders were brought and tied to-
gether, and gendarme climbed up to
assist Crepillon. 1t took an hour to get
him down. On reaching the ground be

only regained his sense after continued
friction. In few hours he was out Of
danger"

winter Apple Crop Is I'm mense.

Throughout the states of chief CONNER
cial production, including New England
and New York, the crop OF winter apples
is large, according to the special report in
the New England Homestead. which
places the aggregate yield at ehade un.
der SO, 100000 barrels for all the United
States, against 60 100000 barrels in 1895
and $1,000, 900 barrels two years ago.
This authority says the crop in New Eng
land, New York, Michigan, and parts OF
a few other states is phenomenal. New
England and New York have over 49,
100000 barrels, against little more than
1000, 900 year ago, while Michigan is
harvesting the greatest crop of fine fruit
ever secured in that state. The report
covering the central west, however, shows
that in many instances the crop is INSULT
cient to supply home requirements. The
Canada crop is among the largest on
record. Exports from the Atlantic coast
are already 100000 barrels, third
more than all of last season, and the for
eign markets have capacity for absorb
ing further vast quantities before spring.

To Ruythe Pope "a CITY.

1t is suggested that the Roman Catho-
lies of Christendom shall subscribe
81 600, 000. 900 to buy Rome and nearby
seaport for the pope, says Hdrper's Week.
~. The belief is expressed that the
Italian government might sell the prop
erty without serious detriment to its
political integrity, and that the money
could be used to great advantage in re-
lieviDg Italy Of part of the burden of her
public debt. 1t is not proposed to turn
over the principal to the vendors, but to
proceeds into the Italian treasury as long
as the pope remains undisturbed in the
papal territory.
The plan is very pretty one and there
are those who think the money might
be raised, and that King Humbert's gov
eminent would appreciate the advantages
of such bargain. But would Rome be
the best purchase the pope could make
with the money? Chicago would take
him vastly cheaper and give him port
privileges on Lake Michigan, but she
could not make him monarch Of an
American township at any price. But
there is Constantinople, an excellent
city, where pope's have lived before, full
OF ready-made churches built by Chris
tians and nearly ripe now for reconsecra-
ton. Constantinople seems liable to
come into the market any day. II the
pope could buy it OF the sultan that
would be a deal worth subscribing to
and worth turning page of history to
record.

that Injuries the delicate appearance Of
their hands are thus doomed to loose one
of the most distinctive marks OF refine

simple and that the following directions
suffice: Pour some warm water into o
bowl, unfold a small towel and lay It up
on one knee, take the right hand and
proceed to cut the nails in q semi-circle,
then file the edges and steep the right
hand In the water, then take the left
hand and steep it In turn. Having care
fully dried the hands push down the skin
round the base of the nails with an ivory
instrument, brush the nails over with
some red pomade, wipe it off, and then
polish with plain chamoie-covered pad,
rather small in size, using particularly
fine polishing powder, till they shine.
Then. to crown all, sprinkle on the hands
and wrists and rub in some delicately
scented lotion, which will at once make
the skin look white, smooth and soft.
