Dickens England,

Anincident sjust Transporting in London
which illustrates the hold that the works
Ct Charles Dickens have upon the English
people. 1t is proposed to tear down a
portion OF the ooer part OF the city, and
in doing this locality with which
Dickens is identified in some OF his best
remembered novels has been doomed to
go. 1t is even said that the exact build
ing which he put into fame as the Old
Curiosity Shop is one of them. though
this does not appear to be clearly estab-
lished. But some of the English people
are pleading for the preservation of this
locality, because Dickens has in effect
made it a feature in London history. 1t
is cited as proof that his popularity is
declining that there has not been a gen.
eral uprising in remonstrance against
the destruction of this quarter. The in
stance is sufficiently remarkable, and in
no small degree tribute to Dickens
memory that the point has been made at
all. He created characters that have as
fixed place in the minds of men as il
they had been real men and women, and
in view of this extraordinary achieve.
ment on his part, the continuance of the
scenes in which they lived and moved
would seem to be a matter of minor
consequence.

upon by Second Assistant Postmaster

upon by Second Assistant Postmaster
General, so he quit.
The government sent special agent to
Knob Lick, at tie cost OF SIS or 500,
who hired somebody else to carry the
mail bags for So trip, whereas Moses
had received but l Is cents trip. After
this special agent had made his report
Adlai E. Stevenson, then acting Post
master-General and afterward Vice Presi-
dent of the United States, issued proc
lamation declaring to all mankind that
Moses Pendergrass was a detaulter on
his contract. The sixth auditor OF the
Treasury figured out the damages to the
United States, and suit was brought
against Moses for the sum Of 81 1895
and costs, against which there was a
credit of 1912 for making 312 thirty
mile trips. There was nothing for Moses
to do but sit down and swear. You can
imagine that he put his whole soul into
it. Senator Cockrell was appealed to.
He took the matter up, and after seven
years OF negotiation succeeded in getting
a report from the Senate committee on
post Office and post roads in favor OF
relieving Moses from his obligations to
the government. Congress finally passed
the bill and authorized the Postmaster
General to settle with him at the rate OF
$500 year. But Moses had learned
lesson. He does not want to do any
more business with Uncle Sam. He is
willing at any time to give expert test-
mony that government contracts are a
delusion.-[ Washington Correspondence

Points About Common Salt.

bag Of salt, heated and applied over
painful spot, is often very efficacous in
allaying pain, especially those of colicky
nature in the stomach and bowels. A
weak solution of salt in water is good
remedy for slight indigestion, especially
that characterized by sense OF weight
and oppression.
Dissolved in water and snuffed up the
nostrils it is of use in curing catarrh, but
when chronic its use must be persisted in
night and morning for several months.
A handful Of rock salt added to the
bath is the next best thing to an ocean
dip.
A weak solution is good for sore
throat, to be used as a gargle, and this
is still better if a few grains OF red pepper
are edded.
AS dentifrice, salt and water will not
only cleanse, but whiten the teeth, and
will harden the gums.
Used in washing the hair, it will prevent
the hair from falling out.
When broiling steak, pinch or two of
salt thrown on the fire will quench the
flames arising from the dripping fat.
Added TO bucket OF water, 1t forms a
remarkably effective fire extirguisher.
little salt in raw or boiled starch will
prevent the irons from sticking and make
the starch whittier. II the irons are
rough, lay some salt on piece of brown
paper, lay piece OF muslin over it, and
rub the irons on it until they are bright
and smooth.
Ink stains may be removed by the use
of moistened salt. When it becomes dis
colored, remove it, and use fresh supply
until no color remains.
New caicoes soaked in strong solu
ton of salt for an hour before washing
will retain their color better.
Damp salt will remove the dscolora-
ton Of tea, and the like, in dishes that
have been carelessly washed.
teaspoonIul of salt in a lamp will
make kerosene oil give a brighter light.

COUNTESS cOWLEY CASE.
She Shows Up Her Husband in {
Very Unenviable Light.

one SLOWS Up her huSDaHu III d
Very Unenviable Light.
London, Jan. 19.-The trial of the
action for divorce brought by Countess
Cowley against her husband, Henry
Arthur Mornington Wellesley, Earl
Cowley, was begun in the divorce di-
vision of the high court of justice
The grounds upon which the suit is
based are desertion and habitual adul-
terry with Mrs. Charles Charrington.
Countess Cowley took the witness
stand and testified that her husband
practically deserted her in 1892, when
he ignored her and openly showed his
CharringtOn. The earl, the countess
said, was accustomed to spend several
hours each day with Mrs. Charrington
in that lady's boudoir. and continued
to do so until Mrs. Charrington'S hus-
band interfered and put a stop to the
intimacy.
Upon DISCRIMINATION the countess
admitted that she had disputes with
her husband concerning household
bills, which differences had led to an
agreement between them to separate.
