 As to plural marriages. I wish as much as possible to follow the advice given me by the president of my church. He said to me, Don't talk about that.

CONNECTS WERE BAFFLED.
Twelve of Them Got as Far as
 the Roof. .
Guards on Duty Below Scared Them From Making Further Attempt at Escape-The Men Made Their Way Through a Ventilator to the Roof With a Rope They Expected to Reach the Ground.

With a Rope They Expected to Reach the Ground
 Lincoln, Neb, March 16.-Only the presence of the Nebraska militiamen on guard at the state penitentlary pre- vented the escape of twelve conv1cts from that institution. Mounting from the floor of the cell house 10 the top of the roof through ventilator nue. after first saving through an iron grat- ing. and big iron bars at the lower end, the twelve prisoners looked over the top edge of the front wall down to the road below, only to see four vigi- lant guardsmen patrolling ceaselessly along the front of the building. Though the criminals had rope ample to lower them to the ground, they dared not risk meeting with the militiamen, and cowed from the accomplishment of their purpose, they huddled down together in the great drain trough along the edge of the roof just behind the abutting wall and lay there shiv- ering. some without shoes: others only in their underclothing, till they were discovered by Deputy Warden Bowers in the morning and marched down to dark dungeons below.
 The cell from which the attempt was made is the only portion of the peni- tentiary which was not destroyed in the fire of two weeks ago. It is un- fitted with cells or any prison equip ments, having never before been used. The men, 2S5 in number, are herded there in a bunch at night and sleep on improvised wooden hunks. These are ranged along the wall. in which is the mouth of the yentilatOr, and screened the men ill their work, which they have been carrying on at night ever since the fire and intended to eliminate last night. The ventilators are of stone and run straight up through the solid outside walls. being eighteen inches square on the inside. The convicts, equipped with q plum ber'S metal saw. two cold chiSels, two sledges, files and a dagger. the pos session of which is unexplained, cut through the heavy iron grating over the f1ue opening and then through StoC bars farther up. They took a Quanti- ty of rope from the broom factory and worked nD forty-five feet to the top of the ventilator tower. They dropped to the roof but feared to face the sol diers. having supposed that no watch. or a very loose one. was kept. At roll call this morning the absentees were discovered and later found on the roof

Rocky Farm Proves Valuable.

Twenty-Five years ago Carlos j.
Kingsbury, living between Williams
town and Chelsea, bought a farm of
one hundred and twenty-five acres
for 81 ,45O. There was one drawback
on the place, namely the great num-
Der of granite boulders. One could
stand in a door of his house and
count ninety of them. But with
the coming of the granite bust
ness they became valuable for quarry
ing and taken to Williamstown to
sell. His son, Archie c., took hold of
this work, and thousands offeet have
been sold at seventy-five to eighty
five cents per foot.
Out of two of these bouldprs gran
itp was taken that sold for $3.50, and
5000. Among these bOulders was
one, half of which wasgood for monu-
mental purposes. The other half was
a very curious mixture of rocks, that
spoiled it for sale there. Not long
ago a man from the east side of the
county wanted a special stone to
mark the grave of a professional
brother, and went to Mr.. Kingsburv's
farm for it. He was shown this
strangely mixed stone and was so
pleased with it that he was willing to
give $50 for one half of it, delivered
at cemetery in his town, and Mr..
Kingsbury took it.

To Clean Oil Paintings.

An art journal suggests raw pota-
toes to clean oil paintings. Have a
few potatoes at hand, each cut in
halves; the fresh surface is damp
ened slightly with cold water and
used to rub the canvas; as the pota-
toes show soil the surface is sliced
off and the rubbing continued. This
process will create a little lather,
which should be wiped off as fast as
it accumulates with a clean, damp
sponge. When the whole canvas is
cleaned, it should be washed over
lightly with clean water, from which
the chill is taken off, and finally the
water lightly and carefully wiped
off with an old clean silk handker-
chief.

For Stair Landings.

In most houses now being built
the staircase is likely to be broken
by landing after few steps. An
effective way to make use of the
lower rail is to make it the back
support of a high settee. The seat
to this should be rounded out in
front and be provided with a cush-
ion covered with some velvety fab
ric like velours or corduroy. The
support for the seat should match
the wood and design of the stair
case. One seen fitted against dark
rail had a dull red cushion that was
extremely effective.

BY putting lace handkerchiefs in
warm water in which are a few
drops of ammonia and using CASTLE
soap they are easily washed and
made a beautiful clear white. Then
do not iron, but spread the handker-
chief out smoothly on marble or
glass, gently pulling out or shaping
the lace. Just before it is entirely
dry fold evenly and smoothly and
place under heavy weight of some
kind, and you will find handker-
chiefs lasting thrice as long as be-
fore.

For Fall housekeeping.

One method of cleaning carpets
which has been pronounced in every
way satisfactory is to make a suds
with good white soap and hot water,
adding enough fuller's earth to Sc
cure the consistency of thin cream.
Then, after providing a number of
clean cloths, scrubbing brush,
large sponge and a bucket of fresh
water, pour some of the cleaning
mixture into a bowl, dip the brush
into it and brush a small piece of
the carpet at time, washing it with
the sponge and cold water and dry
ing with the cloths. When it has
all been gone over in this way, let it
dry.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
How to Arrange Cut Flowers to Sc
cure Pleasing Effects.

In order to secure the best and
most pleasing effects in the arrange
ment of cut flowers it is necessary
that their manner of growth be con-
sidered. Flowers that grow on tall
stalks should be put in high vases,
which permit the long green stems
to rise in a natural fashion, with
some of the pretty leaves appearing
gracefully among them. Tiny flow
ers should be placed in small re-
ceptacles corresponding to their
size. The aim should be to give,
as far as possible, a natural appear
ance to each kind of flower.
When gathering field daisies, also
gather some of the seed grasses that
grow among them, then place all
loosely in suitable vase, remember
ing that they do not grow with their
heads close together. This arrange
ment, with the help of stretch of
the imagination, will remind one of
a small field of daisies with the
grasses waving and nodding in the
wind.
Roses should not be crowded into
a vase, but tumbled loosely into
bowl, and a little study will enable
one to add the necessary touches
that help to give to these beautiful
cut flowers their natural grace and
beauty.
Pansies should be cut with stems
and leaves and massed in a low,
faring vase, where they have a
chance to appear as if still growing.
