Kitchen Sink and Pipes.

Miss Parloa warns housekeepers to
give the kitchen sink unremitting atten-
ton. as it is beyond the plumber S art to
prevent It's stoppage if the housekeeper
does not look after it. The liquid grease
poured through it solidities and elings to
the pipes To prevent this, wash the
sink thoroughly after each meal, and
pour hot water through the pipes to scald
them out A solution of washing soda,
allowing a half pint of soda to six quarts
of boiling water, should be kept on hand
for cleaning the pipes. Warm the pipes
first by pouring boiling water through
them, and follow it by two quarts of the
soda solution. If this is Systematically
used, the six quarts week will keep a
small house in good condition. In special
emergencies, where the sink becomes
stopped with grease, use larger quanti-
ties of the soda, and then flush thor
oughly.
In case of sickness, when disinfection
becomes necessary, dissolve four table
spoonfuls of carbolic acid in q piut
of water aud pour through the pipes,
waiting few minutes before flushing.

of Norwalk. was examined before Justice
Phillips and jury on Saturday charged
with assault upon the person of Maurice,
the 6-year-old son of Louis Cohn of Nor
walk. 1t appears that young Cohn, who is
anything but an angel, had been torment
ing Nelson until patience ceased to be a
virtue, and the harness maker picked up
the boy and lifted him over the fence and
dropped him into his fathers yard, all OF
which SO aroused the ire of the elder Cohn
that he had Nelson arrested. Mr.. Nelson

STRUCK BY THE CARS
About 10 o'clock this morning John Berry
driver for Bangham Bros, the coal and
wood dealers of East Colorado street, was
perhaps fatally injured by Terminal

Sycamore Grove. Berry was driving Il

the electric car which cross the road at
this place. 1t is thought he became con-
fused. The Terminal train struck his
wagon, rolling It over and somewhat injur-
