BOTH CONVICTED.

Tho tradegy which was enacted last
October, near Glenn's Ferry, has had
a fitting close. The life Of John Ken
sler has been avenged by the conviction
of his wife for murder in the second
degree and her paramount of murder
in the first degree. 1t was a most
brutal affair. 1t seems that Alfred
Freel and Mrs. Kensler conspired
to murder the woman's husband;
Ffeel shot him while he was lying
asleep and then, together, the murder
ers dragged the body out and buried it
in an irrigation ditch. Freel ought to
be hung and the woman ought to be
imprisoned for life and a day. Mrs.
Kensler is in a delicate condition.

CULINARY IDEAS.

Lemons can be kept from becoming
moldy if they are strung singly on a
coarse thread and hung up on different
nails with few inches of space inter
yening.
In buying fish be sure that the eyes
are clear and rather sunken, flesh firm,
gills red and moist. the skin tight and
the scales. if any, shiny. If you do this
your fish course at dinner cannot fail
to be a success unless your cook is at
fault.
Here is patent process for restoring
to cracked earthen ware its water-tight
properties. Make paste with finely
sifted wood ash and emery powder,
moistening it with the white of egg;
rub this over the crack on the outside
and let it dry in the open air.
The method for making labels stick
on tin cans and covers is simple. First.
the part of the tin which is to be labeled
must be scrubbed with strong soda wa
ter. Then make paste with good
starch and water in which some car
penter's glue should be dissolved. La
bells applied in this manner will not
come off.
When the white and not the yolk of
an egg is required for use it is a puzzle
how to preserve the yoll indefinitely
1t is very simple. Make a small hole in
the shell. let the white run out and
stand the egg in an egg cup. which

crossing the banks. 1t is usually cold
and foggy there, and in winter frequent
gales and snowstorms add to the dreari-
ness and danger. Western Bank is near
Sable island, a long sand bar off the
coast OF Nova Scotia. and an ocean
graveyard, literally strewn with
wrecks. The English government
placed flock of sheep there because
there had been instances of sailors
wrecked on the island starving to death;
hut the sheep died. The island was too
Earren even for them. A herd of
ilries was tried. and these hardy crea-
lures Gourished, but became in time so
Hj.d rs 70 he unapproachable; and
-hipwrecked sailor hardly has the
'treug'h to scamper after wild pony
Now however. there are several light
houses and life-saving stations on the
island. and in the spring innumerable
gu..s nest in the sand and lay their eggs.
In May il is not unusual for dories be-
longing to the Western Bank fleet TO get
lost-at least for awhile; for the gulls'
eggs are good eating during that month.

Muiiiner Wanted to Gust Queen VIC
toria from Her Position.
There died a man in England few
days ago who claimed not only that this
was his second time Oh earth, but that
he was the rightful heir to the British
throne. His name was Ernest Mulliner,
and he was theosophist of some stand
ing. He lived in Southport, and was an
expert accountant. After his death a
number of papers were found which at
,racted considerable attention through
out England. One read:
ITO Victoria, Monarch Apparent:
Take notice of this appeal, made ac-
cording to constitutional law, and a
copy of which has been dispatched to
the speaker of the house of commons
for attachment without the building Of
the house of parliament, for publication

Mulliner, member of the Incorporated
Society of Accountants and of the The
osophical Society of the World, know,
by the process of mental telepathy, that
it is said by many of the nation that
the present monarch reigning is not
the true monarch, but another per-
son is"
The document then declared that Null
liner first realized in February, 1855,
that he lived previous life, and that
A. P Sinnett, of the Theosophical So
ciety of India, was well aware of this
fact. He then asks for an investigation
of his claims, ending as follows
"But | do say that the main question
of inquiry and judgment is whether the
allegation is true or not, in whole or
part, that | am the true heir to the

THE ELECTRIC SPARK.
1t Is Not a Fluid, But Purely "or-
tex Movement.

tex Movement.
Lord Armstrong, famous studehtoI
electricity, has succeeded in photo
graphing an electric spark. lie claims
that there is no such thing as an "elec-
trio fiuid;" that electricity is purely
vortex movement, such as we see when
watching rings of smoke drift from
The mouth of the smoker. The electric
ity, like the smoke, moves over ana
over the circumference of the ring,
that is, it is sucked in by one face OF
the ring and out by the other" This
simple discovery may re7olutlonlze
many established theories. Lord Arm
strong's photographs are said to show
to the eye the exact difference between
the positive and negative poles. A
camera and powerful electric machine
were placed in room. On the sensitive
plate contained in the camera llght
and fine powder had been sifted, so
that when the electricity was dis
charged the dust upon the plate would
be driven about by electric streams
and at the same time the light would al
feet the plate. But a small fraction OF
a second was required for the electric
ity to give the luminosity necessary to
enable it to be caught in the act OF
setting the dust in commotion. The
picture shows a black spot in the CEN
ter, which is the metallic disk which
rested on the Photographic plate and
received the positive discharge from
the electric machine, The electricity
radiates from the center in streams
which appear like feathery Illuminated
roots of a plant. This is different from
n picture of electricity as it comes from
the human body. The photograph will
show that as it radiates it has sharper
and shorter appearance. \ picture
taken of two opposite discharging disks,
brought near together, shows clearly
that the discharge has different char
acteristics nj the different poles. Lord
Armstrong hopes to show plainly how
electricity is communicated from one
human body to another by contact.
