He Wanted to Know.


 An elderly man, who looked to pos sess the virtue of long suffering pa tience under the most trying circum stances, walked into the weather bu reau on the top floor of the Rialto building yesterday. He was very wet, but good-natured.
 Here I am, like fool, without an umbrella, he began. 'I thought that I'd come in and see if you could give me any consolation
 My dear sir" replied Forecaster Gonnor, with a winning smile, T have no umbrellas to lend, nor have any,
 "Oh, didn't mean that" interrupt. ed the other. T just wanted to know how long this thing is going to keep up."
 What thing?"
 "Why, the rain, of course"
 My dear sir, 1 haven't the slightest idea of what you mean" returned the prophet in his most insinuating tones.
 The old gentleman was puzzled. He looked about the room carefully and curiously.
 Isn't this the weather placer
 '.Yes," replied the forecaster in a quick, businesslike way, and Pm the weather man. You asked me how much longer the rain would keep up. It isn't keeping up, and that's the trouble. It's coming, and it's going to keep on coming down for some time yet Every twenty-four hours of the present month has seen some precipi- tation, and May was a record break CT. This is generally a rainy season with us, sir, but this, I admit, is trffe above the ordinary

AMERICAN POTTERY.
The souNeisa Is Almost as Lovely :.
 Rookwooa.

The souHelsa Is Almost as Lovely a.
 Rookwood
 American pottery has few peers i, these days of Souwelsa and Rookwaa.l anu the pale. pearly, exquisltely tinte glaze ware shown in such graceful de- signs, says the New York Commercial Advertiser. The Souwelsa is first con- sin to Rookwood. but a poor relation. as It costs about half as much as do the symphonies in polished greens and browns. It has the same finish. the same designs and tones, but seems to lack the richness of Rookwood. al- though the difference would not be per- eeptlble to the person perfectly sane on the question of brie-a-brac. The enthusiast can tell the difference in the dark, she says. The pale-tlnted American pottery is highly polished and the flowers of the decoration seem to bloom mistily through the glaze. like flowers seen through a frosty window pane. A high-shouldered jar of this ware is softly shaded from palest blue at the top, where 1t forms a back ground for a graceful rose-hued iris. the long, pale green stems of which stand out deiicately against the misty gray below.

MR.. Hollis SEWER DEAL
CONTRACTOR BOssERT CLAIMS HE
WAS GOUGED ON A LOAN.
Sues to Recover on the Ground that
luxurious Interest Was Charged
Him.

William Bossert, sewer contractor of
this city, yesterday brought suit in the
Superior Court against Sterling r. Holt.
to recover a large sum of money which ne
claims he paid to Mr.. Holt in 1893. In that
year the plaintiff was awarded the contract
for building large main sewer in this city
and did not have sufficient funds TO proceed
with the work. He went to Mr.. Holt, who
was then county treasurer, and arranged
to borrow about $4,000. Holt. he says,
agreed TO loan him the money. providing he
paid a bonus Of 5000 and per cent. inter-
est. A contract was drawn up, by the terms
Of which Bossert assigned to Holt his as
sessment rolls and all Barrett law bonds
issued on account of the building Of the
sewer. Tho contract, Bossert claims, was SO
drawn that the 5000 bonus was to be con-
sidered part of the loan and interest at
the rate of per cent. was to to be paid on
the whole amount. This brought the loan
up to $4,000 Bossert signed the contract,
the money was advanced and he completed
the sewer. The money was all paid, he
AYERS, and he now demands that between
$4,000 and $1,000 of the sum paid to Holt be
returned to him. He claims that he was
charged usurious rate of interest on the
whole amount and asserts that the contract
was invalid because it included the $1,000
bonus as part Of the loan.

One of the most peculiar cases ever
treated at the City Dispensary was that Of
John Garner, aged seventy-five, yesterday
morning. He drove up to the police station
in a covered wagon and called to the desk
sergeant. He wanted to know the location
of the dispensary. DR.. Loop was called and
1t was then learned that the old mans legs
were both sloughing off below the knees.
They were wrapped in newspapers. and the
odor from the decaying flesh was sicken-
ing. Thousands of flies made the troubles
of the old man still greater. He said he
lived at Poplar Bluff, Butler county, Mis-
souri,, and was on his way to Columbus, O.,
where a nephew. Frank Brown, lived. He
started from Poplar Bluff with his wife.
They then had team of mules, which was
killed by train. He afterward purchased
another team and continued the journey,
but one of the horses died and with a pair
OF shafts, he went on with one horse. His
wife died en- route and at one camping
place, he said, gang camping near him
robbed him of S94. The condition of his
limbs, he claims, is due to fever, the sores
which had once disappeared having again
come out after the railroad accident DIR.
Loop cleaned and dressed the limbs and
Garner, after being placed in his wagon,
proceeded on his journey. Behind the wagon
was hitched dilapidated buggy, which he
said was the property Of his deceased wife
and with which he did not wish to part.

c. s. Plumb. director Of the Agricultural
Experiment Station at Purdue University,
there has been introduced TO the farmers
of Indiana, what is termed dilution cream

monty understood by dairymen, where
cream is separated from milk by centrifugal
force, but is specially constructed can,

ciple of Dreaming in this can, however, diff
fers from that usually performed in the
dairy. through the mixing of water with
the milk to assist the cream to rise These
specially made cans have certain peculiar
tiles of construction and are advertised by
the makers as cream separators.' The cans
of different manufacturers differ in form
and style, but the principal feature with AL

milk. perhaps 100 per cent. In this diluted
condition the claim o. the manufacturers
is that the cream will rise more completely
and rapidly than IL not diluted; that in
twenty TO thirty minutes IL will all rest
on the surface of the skinned milk, which
may be drawn off from below.
In 1893 the Indiana Experiment Station
for two weeks carried on an experiment on
the influence of dilution Of milk on eff
cheney OF Dreaming. The results of this
work, as published in Bulletin A OF the sta
ton, were that a greater loss OF fat occurs
In skim milk when dilution is practiced than
with undiluted milk, that the loss Is great
er with cold than with warm water, and
that by diluting the milk poorer quality
OF skim milk for feeding is thereby pro-
duced. These results were In accordance
with conclusions arrived at through similar
experiments at the Vermont, Cornell. ILL.,
