THE prosecution of Samuel F.

THE prosecution of Samuel F.
Mcdaniel aud Evan &. Boyd has
been abandoned, because of the alb
sence from the state of witness
by whom Attorney General Ward
hoped to prove grave offenses
against the two officials during their
term of Office. By soma persons
this may seem to be Justice gone
wrong, but we have never been of
the opinion that these Office holders
should be compelled to defend their
integrity against a man who has
served sentence in this state for
such a crime as manslaughter, and
whose previous reputation was such
as to lead to the con .lusion that
there was no crime before the law
that he nigh! not stoop to. We
think that abandonment OF prose-
cution IN this particular is regarded
as the only proper outcome of the
trouble the officials appear to have
been in.
THE verdict of Coroner Tricks
jury in the pulp mill case is far
from satisfactory to the people OF
this city, aud particularly SO to those
families who have been left without
fathers and brothers by the terrible
explosion. 1t would seem that there
was some reason for this frightful
loss Of life, and now that the coro-
ner's jury has failed to disclose it,
it may not be improper to suggest
that an investigation by the Attor-
ney General might determine the
cause of the calamity.

a good story is told of one Of the

attractive preacher.

tons were made i'm the transept Of
his church, and these had the effect
of sweeping away considerable seat

Professional Packers.

In these days of trouble saving there
has crept up yet another employment
for women-that of professional pack
ers. The richer members Of the com
munity have no wish to be bothered
with packing their own boxes, and it is
by no means every maid that can do
it efficiently; so in America and Paris
there are certain women who. for a
comfortable fee, will come and pack
your things. choose the boxes most
suitable for them and relieve you of
the burden of anxiety which would
be yours did YOU feel that. on arrival
Mt smart house, your lovely silk and
muslin dresses would appear like so
many crumpled-not rose leaves. oh.
dear no; but busting rags. London
has also proved the benefit of this new
Industry, and professional packers
who are thoroughly up to their work
can make quite a comfortable income.

Dish-WashinC.

The first step is well-scraped dishes
/ find n dainty help In the use of cheap
tissue paper for wiping out greasy
dishes. Into a small dishpan half full
of boiling hot water put Il piece of
common kitchen soap and allow it to
remain only long enough to make the
water slightly soapy. A regular order
of dish-washing should be observed:
first the glasses. next the silver, then
the cups and saucers, followed by the
sticky and greasy dishes, and last the
pots and pans and kettles. One should
have three dish-mops, n small one for
the glasses and after-dinner coffee
cups, another for the other dishes. and
a third FOR the cooking utensils. II
the cooking utensils are properly
scraped before being put into the
water they can be cleaned perfectly
without the use of that abomination,
q dishcloth. The mops should be care
fully washed after use and be hung
In bright. warm place to dry thor
oughly. Take one dish in the hand
at time and wash carefully. When
dishes are handled in this way only
the tips OF the fingers of the left
hand need come in contact with the
dishwater. AS soon as the dishwater
In the pan gets cool or becomes at
all dirty it should be emptled out and
the pan be refilled half full of boiling
water. The dishwater should never
be allowed to become like boarding
house soup" Dishes can, of course,
be dried more easily when scalded.-

a uumano Way to wenr birds.

Birds and butterflies are the most
popular designs for most of the dainty
bits of jewelry that give the cachet
of smartness to elaborate gowns Per
haps the birds are little more sought
after than the butterflies Few there
are indeed, of the feathered tribe that
have escaped imitation.
Even the ungainly body of the young
snipe is set up in tiny rose diamonds
TO serve as n catch pin about an inch
long. The English pheasant, with long
tail feathers. is a favored and grace
iul design in precious stones. Tyre
birds are reserved for the hair, and
behind their spread tails are placed
high, soft aigrettes. These birds are
made both in rhinestones and in dia-
monds and cost therefore, upward
from SO to n kings ransom. Two.
three or five dainty little swallows
crossing on the wing n parallel bar is
not exactly new design, but it now is
certainly having Il second wave of
popularity, while small peacocks. al
together new, are among the most
gorgeous of the bird ornaments When
not made up of stones these are done
in exquisite enamel, each eye of the
magnificent tail being wonderfully
true to life. Ducks are not forgotten
in this reigning passion for birds
Nearly always, however they are
made of enamel on either gold or sill
yer, their highly colored necks and
heads cleaning in the light most bril-
liantly. Pouter and fantail pigeons
are among the very attractive and
quaint of the new designs.
With the butterflies also there Is
much variety in the style of makeup.
and while the handsomest ones are
costly, there are others very pretty
that come within the range of nearly
all. But always it must be remem-
bered that it takes a certain type of
woman, a light, fiower-like looking
creature to wear well a butterfly. A
fetching way 10 wear any of these
ornaments IS as clasps for some of the
numerous chains which arc hung about
the neck.-New York Commercial Ad-

Beauty Too Much Adorned.

In former days, says the London
Graphic, it was not considered good
taste for women to wear much jewel
ry. and in the old pictures by the great
masters most of the women are paint
ed either without such ornaments or
with only string Of gold or of pearls
around the neck OF late years il has
become the fashion to carry thousands
OF pounds worth of jewelry in the
hair on the neck, on the bodice, and
on the wrists and fingers. Several
prominent artists are now preaching
the doctrine of simplicity as regards
the use of jewelry.

THE MAN WHO WON

He kept his soul unspotted
As he went upon his way,
And he tried to do some service
For Gods people day by day;
He had time to cheer the doubter
Who complained that hope was dead
He had time to help the cripple
When the way was rough ahead;
lie had time to guard the orphan, and,
one day, well satisfied
with the talents God had given him he
closed his eyes and died.
He had time to see the beauty
That the Lord spread all around;
lie had time to hear the music
In the shells the children found;
He had time to keep repeating
As he brayely worked away:
1t is splendid to be living
In the splendid world today"
But the crowds-the crowds that hurry
After golden prizes-said \
That he never had succeeded vi
When the clods lay Ger his head
lie had dreamed-v"He was a failure :"
they compassonately sighed.
For the man had little money in his pock-
cts when he died
