1t is still quite a common experience
to find fine and wen valuable speci-
mems OF old English furniture, chiefly
made of oak. in the cottages of the
village folk. These pieces Of furniture
have been handed down from genera
ton to generation of rural folk such
as carriers, keepers, woodmen and
shepherds. How did the family orig
inally come by them? The explana-
ton is this in many cases: Genera
lions ago. when the furniture, which
is once again priced greatly, began to
go out Of fashion and to be superseded
by stuff which we view with contempt
nowadays, it was sold and farmers
bought much of it. But by and by, the
farmer being prosperous, and desiring
to be In the fashion. too. like his land
lord. bought in its place more modern
chairs and tables, etc. Then the vii
lage folk bought for a song the de-
spised oak chairs, Golfers, ETC., and
now, once again, the old furniture has
come into favor and is finding its way
back from the cottage to the hail.

Congressman Mondell, who has been
in our city all week, says the Casper
Tribune, received a belated message
Monday evening informing him of his
appointment as a member of the con

presidents funeral. The notification
came too late to enable him to reach
Washington or Canton in time, and he
therefore yielded to an urgent invi-

Doors and other wooden articles are
now actually ~electroplated with copper
or other metals. They are first treated
in such a way as to make them water
proof, and to prevent from warping
and shrinkage. by filling the pores
with a proper varnish. They are then
bound with strips Of metal and covered
with a metallic leaf that will take the
e%lectroplate. The articles are then put
into the e~lectroplating vat. and one
pole of the current is attached to the
binding metal strips. and the other to
the electroylte used. So "bronzed'

BURGLAR FELL AND
MADE HIS ESCAPE.

A burglar tried to make his way in
to the residence of H. w. Grass, on
Eighth street, last night, but failed
and was frightened away. He found
a window open and secured an empty
key to serve as a step ladder to make
his way in. The key turned over and
made noise enough to wake the house
hold. Mr.. Grass, thinking the noise
was made by a cat, arose, shut down
the window and went back to bed. The
would-be burglar escaped in the dark
ness.
This morning members of the fami,
ly found the empty key near the win
dow and saw footprints of a man in
the yard, and then realized that it was
a burglar and not a cat that had made
the noise. No other house in that
neighborhood was disturbed by the
marauder.

NIGHT AMONG WHARF CATS.
when Darkness Comes There Is Much
Noise and Many Battles Along
the Water Front.

1t is astonishing how many outcasts
of the feline family inhabit the
wharves bordering on the harbor basin
of Baltimore, says the Sun of that city.
Along every line of docks on the wa
ter front band of cats, both large and
small, have adopted the surroundings
as their homes, and nightly come forth
to wage war upon the venturesome
tom of an adjoining clan who has i'm
prudently ventured into the enemy's
country.
The cats rarely venture from their
lairs during daylight, but at nightfall,
when traffic is suspended, the water
fronts are alive with the fitting forms
and the air is resonant with the voicing
of their seemingly numerous troubles.
Men whose business takes them
along the water front at night tell
many stories of feline battles. One of
the most characteristic is of two cats
approaching a rat, each unknown to
the other, and springing upon it at the
same time. The rat escapes and the
cats fight until one falls dead and the
other limps away.
Another story illustrates the adept
ness of cats in water. The overturning
of loose board throws three kittens
and their parents into the dock. The
mother swims to safety with one kit
ten on her back and another in her
mouth. The father follows with the
third kitten in his mouth.

NO MORE CANNED CRAB.
Only Man Who Knew How to Can the
Meat IL Dead-May Not Have
Told the Secret.

James McMenamin, the only success
full Gamer of crab meat in the world,
has just died in the hospital at Balti-
more, and it is feared that his secret
has died with him, reports New York
exchange. He is believed to have made
$1,0OO,O00 out of crab canning by run
ming large cannery at Hampton, Va,
for six months in the year, but he kept
the process hidden even from his work
people, and unless his will divulges it
or he confided the secret to his sons
before his death, the canning plant will
have to be shut down and nobody may
ever know why it's proprietor succeed
ed where others failed.
Mr.. McMenamin went to Virginia
from Massachusetts, in 1878. While
working as clerk for Mayor White
head, of Norfolk, it came out that he
knew how crab meat could be canned
without losing it's flavor and Mayor
Whitehead helped him to establish
small cannery at Hampton. In time the
small cannery was replaced with big
ger one, but never has the big one been
able to meet all the demands upon it
for canned crab meat.
During the six months of the year
when the cannery was open the pro-
prietor was the busiest man in it. A
large force of colored women picked
the meat from the crabs. 1t was sent
to locked room in which Mr.. McMen-
amin personally attended to its prepa-
ration. Then it was sealed in the cans.
Last year the demand for canned
crab meat was unprece dented and the
man with the secret, when he died,
was wondering how he could increase
the output for this year.

victoria's Indian Attendants.

The late queens Indian attendants
have been retired on pensions, says
Truth, and several of them have al
ready returned to their native land.
The departure of these oriental
menials from England will not be re-
GREETED by anyone about the court,
as they gave an enormous deal of
trouble, and, being regarded as priv
LEGGED persons, they were excessive
ly arrogant and insolent to the Brit
ish domestics, most of whom both
feared and detested them. They
were a constant source of worry, fuss
and anxiety. The queens munshi-
Hafz Abdul Karin-who has been a
powerful parsonage at court for the
last Is years or so, is also going oack
to India with pension. The mnnshi
and his wife had charming cottage
TN the Frogmore demesne. and a
house was built for them few years
ago in the Ralmoral grounds.
