A Lie Nailed.

A few days ago press dispatch was publish in the St. Louis Chronicle, stating that application had been made in the courts of New Jersey for a re- celver for the Knights of Honor. Much uneasiness was felt in this com munity. but we are glad to publish that there is no foundation for it, as the following communications will prove:
 Forrest City. Ark, Aug. 21. 1s97 5. F. Nelson. Supreme Reporter, K. of II |,

 St. Francis Lodge, 492
 St. Louis. Mo-, Aug. 9, 1897. Dear Sir and Brother:-In reply to yonr inquiry about the press dispatch stating that receiver for the Knights of Honor had been applied for in the court of New Jersey, 1 will say that it is entirely false. No such action has been had, nor is there any cause for it.
 The Supreme Lodge, at its late session, enacted a law to provide for the payment of the unpaid claims in Glass B. The CO., lection is now being made, and the claims are being paid off as fast as the receipts will permit, and strictly ill accordance with the law.
 1 have been informed that receiver pro. ceedings were commenced against another society in New Jersey. Be that as it may, can only say that the report. so far as it affects the Knights of Honor, is untrue.
 Our grand old order is keeping faith with its members and their families, as it always has done.
 Yours fraternally,
 B. F. Nelson, Supreme Reporter.

Married Seventy two Years.

On May the Rev. Andrew Patrick
and his wife, Olivia, of Grays, Knox
county, Kentucky, had been married
exactly seventy-two years. Both are
in good health and in enjoyment of all
their faculties. He is 80 years old and
she is Sc. He has living descendants
in the fifth generation.
Mr.. Patrick was born in North Caro-
lima in 1906, and at an early age he
moved to Tennessee. At Elk river,
that state, he met his wife, then Olivia
Manor, and they were married when
she was a little less than fifteen years
old. Soon afterward Mr.. Patrick
moved to Whitley county, Kentucky,
where he lived until few years ago,
when he went to the adjoining county
of Knox and settled at Grays, q small
station on the Knoxville division OF
the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road.
Thirteen children were born to MIR.
Patrick and his wife, six boys and
seven girls. The oldest of their child
rem is now seventy. He, like his
father, is Baptist minister. The
Rev. Andrew Patrick has 42s living
descendants. There are 104 grand
children, 304 great-grandchildren, and
20 eat-great- grandchildren. BE hiss

There are many points of similarity
between the Cheyennes and Sioux,
and they have not infrequently joined

that the Indians who took part in the

Sioux, but it has been proved that
they were assisted by a considerable
band of Cheyennes.

A recent discovery that practical
men as well as scientists, approve is
the complete transformation of wood
into gas. The product has a power
four times greater than that made
from bituminous coal. It's value lies
in adaptability as motive power,
which can be applied to the produc-
ton of ceramics, in glass manufacture,
for Bessemer hearths, and like indus
tries. Rich in carbonic oxide as it is,
the gas is available for the manufac-
ture of oxalic acid and other chemi-
Gals, and, it is said, at very consias
erable saving in cost.

Railway Economics.

A singular instance of the way in
which large corporations are now able
to economize by keeping within them
selves the profits which formerly went
to outside industries is seen in the
management of an extensive English
railroad. There is hardly thing
needed on the line, from locomotive
to printed label, that is made for it
by people not belonging to the COM
pany. 1t makes its own artificial legs.
When an employee is so unfortunate
as to lose limb, q wooden leg or arm,
as the case may be, is sent from the
main carpenters shop. The leg
making department. employs couple
of expert instrument makers who are
kept at work constantly to supply the
demand. One man is engaged solely
in etching fancy designs upon the
plates of ground glass used in the first
class compartments and saloons. A
photographer-in ordinary is always
ready for summons. If a bridge
shows signs of decay, or an embank-
ment is likely to slip, dispatch Is
sent to the photographer, who forth
with makes picture of the accident"
which is forwarded to the engineer-h-
chief, who is thus often saved the
necessity of making a personal visit.
In the case of "smash-up," the pho
tographer Immediately takes several
photos of the train, or trains from diff
ferent points of view, SO that when the
Board of Trade inquiry comes on,
there can be no dispute as to how the
engines and cars were lying.

The electrical Piano.

A piano on an entirely new principle
is announced from Germany. The
strings are stretched across the sound
ing board as in the ordinary piano, but
the entire hammer mechanism is alb
sent. Instead, the depressing of the
key puts in action magnet, which au-
tomatically attracts and releases the
wire, thus producing vibrations with
out the metallic stroke which accom-
panies the sound in the common type.
The resulting effect upon the tones is
said to be very remarkable. The high
notes resemble those Of an Holian
harp. The middle and lower notes are
like cello or an organ. 1t responds
readily to every variation in power and
expression. A note can be sounded
for several minutes without varying in
quality. So radically different from
all existing instruments are the effects
that new style of music is needed to
bring out its capabilities. illustrated

Barrels.

They really are the most useful arti'
cles in the household repertoire. Among
fifty ways of utilizing them, here is
one:
Fasten in the lower barrel-head
securely. Take out the upper one to
allow shelf to be fastened in the mid
die, which should follow the line OF
barrel, excepting on one side, where
the circle must be squared. When
this shelf is securely set in, fasten the
second barrel-head back again, and
tighten all the hoops. Now saw out
generous sized door in the centre OF
the barrel. When it opens, the shelf
with its square side should stand across
the middle of the opening. Put hinges
on the door, and then you have COM

better yet. towelling cut in a circle,
will cover the barrel-top nicely, and
protect the drapery below.-Harper's

BAG Carts in Street Cleaning.

Kansas City will adopt another OF
Colonel Warnings New York ideas in
street cleaning. Along with the white
brigade and clean streets, the Street
Department will have bag carts to be
used by the street sweepers. Bag
carts are something new in the West.
They are little two-wheeled push carts
arranged to hold large jute bag. The
street cleaner deposits sweepings in
the bag as dirt is gathered from the
pavement, and when the bag is filled
ties it up and lays it on the curb to be
hauled away and emptied. Each cart
is provided with half dozen bags.
They answer the purpose better than
the little dump carts, doing away with
dust and facilitating the cleaning
work. Kansas City Star.

ventive. Pieces of ordinary tape are
dipped in little corrosive sublimate,
dried, and tied around the bottoms of
cake-boxes or the legs of tables or re-
frigerators, which it is desired to
guard. No ant, whether wise or fool
ish, will cross such barrier, and eat
ables or sweets SO protected are abso-

taken not to put the tape or any boxes
so protected within the reach of chill
dren, as the corrosive sublimate on
the tape is a poison" The cure is too

their features work with excitement
and desire to emulate such achieve
ments. The fact that the Indian
habitually represses his emotions need
lead no one to doubt their strength,
and the amount of pent-up energy
which is expressed in the attitudes of
these young braves is enough to make
the civilized spectator shudder as he
thinks of the savage expression it
might find.
At the conclusion of the speaking af-
ter all the famous men of the band
have recited similar experiences to
those of the first orator, the excitement
is intense. Then it is, and sometimes
for many days afterward, that the
Indians are to be dreaded, for they
are ready to seize upon almost any
pretext to pick a quarrel with the
whites. 1t is the opinion of many
people experienced in Indian affairs
that nearly all of the difficulties arise
from this uncomfortable fighting ardor
OF the young men OF the tribes. Ihey

MOVING A BIG CHIMNEY.
Tall Structure Conveyed Nearly 1000 Fee,
Over Rough Roads.


There are two ways of moving q
chimney. One way, and that usually
followed, is to tear it down carefully
and rebuild it in the desired place.
This utilizes only the brick and means
o great deal of labor. The other
method of moving a chimney is to
handle it much as house would be
handled and to move it bodily and
without tearing it down, by putting it
on skids.
This latter method was followed by
q firm of contractors of Binghampton,
N. Y, in moving o chimney for the
Manhanset Improvement Company at
Manhansett, N. Y. The chimney is
eighty-fve feet high and seven feet
square at the base. It weighs nearly
one hundred tons, and yet it was
moved q distance of $50 feet over
rough roads and up and down steep
grades without injury or accident.
