BANK ASSESSMENTS.
Dr.. James Carter Files an Appeal the
Same as Last Year..

An appeal from the decision of the Marion
County Board Of Review on the valuation
fixed by the board on each of the seven
local banks was filed by DR.. James Carter
yesterday with the county auditor. The
same action was taken last year by DR..
Carter, aud the State Board of Tax Com
missioners raised the assessed valuation of
the banks per cent. each.
The petition states that the assessment,
which is the same as last year, is too low.
and asks the state board TO raise it. In
the following list is shown the valuation be-
fore and after the per cent increase.

about banking knows that the loan accounts
carried by the trust companies are more

CURIOUS FOOD COMPOUND.

Acid for Raising Bread.

Housekeepers have recently been So
iicited by some of the grocers and By
pec'lers to try another kind OF baking
powder-"cheaper and just as good" as
they say. This is another scheme of
some baking powder manufacturer to
get new brand on the market by offer
ing the grocer large profit. House
keepers are not usually much benefited
by such changes. Alum baking pow
ders are generally low priced, but they
are we'll known to be detrimental to
health. Large quantities of one of
them were recently seized in New York,
being found to be largely composed Of
sharp-pointed grains of ground flint
and sulphuric acid!
Most OF the so-called phosphate pow
ders are mixed with alum. The manu-
facturer of phosphate powder has pat
ented the process Of making the princi-
pal ingredient Of his powder from bones
digested with sulphuric acid.
Housekeepers do not want such mix
lures in their food. They should never
encourage peddlers nor admit testers
or alleged experimenters in food within
their doors, and when buying baking
powder should get brand we'll known
to be made of cream of tartar which Is
healthful product Of the grape.

A clergyman in New Jersey hired man
to act in the capacity of coachman and

a bottle of horse ointment, and told the
man to apply it to lame horse according
to the directions on the bottle.
About an hour afterward he went to
the barn, and found Silas industriously dip
ping a spike into the liniment and then
rubbing it against the horses leg.
What are you doing that for" hs
asked.
The man looked up with smile of assur-
ance.
Because" said he, "'twas what it said
in the directions on the bottle; but it's
slow work"

the minister.

HOME MADE
CHRISTMAS PRESENTS
A DAINTY CATCH-ALL.
It Makes an Attractive Christmas
Present for the Tidy
bonneville.

When attempting to solve the perpleI-
ing question of. Christmas presents for
your friends, among whom you no
doubt number more than one tidy house
wife, do not forget the utility and ar
tisticness of the little catch-all, that may
be easily made at home, and yet become
a source of genuine pleasure throughout
the year to the person to whom it is
given.
There are, as rule, so many to be re-
membered at Christmas time that it is
impractical to make extravagant pur-
shases for each, and then, besides, the
little homemade remembrance is often
much more appreciated, as it represents
more of the giver than does the present
that is bought ready-made at the store.
1t Is for such that this catch-all is sug-
gested, and to make 1t one needs nothing
more extravagant than three of the or
dinary Japanese paper fans, bow of
ribbon, and bit of red silk for lining.
In selecting the fans, be sure that you
get pretty ones, as there is a great differ
ence in the artistic qualities Of them.
Tie them firmly together with the bow of
ribbon and adjust to the proper angle, and
when the silk lining formed into bag
is in place. it will be found that they

another method Of finishing these cor

dimes, thus ever keeping the receiver in

If it is preferable to hang it TO the

a loop of narrow ribbon or small ring

sure that it is fastened securely.

CHICKEN LASSO.
New Invention BeinG Tried I'm the
Commission District of Cleveland,

Now lnVentiOn BetnE TRIED In the
Commission District of Cleveland,
o., Meeting with Great Success.
Chicken lassos are the latest. The
inventor is a well-known man in the
commission district, of Cleveland, o.,
and his device has become popular
among the handlers of poultry in
that locality. All dealers are sup
piled and farmers will be quick to
adopt them.

over wagons, through yards and over
fences, after cackling hens. turkeys
or ducks. The race continues for
blocks, and sometimes lasts for hours
before the fugitives are caught.
But the evil has been corrected,
and it is now an easy thing to cap
ture the fowls. The new invention
is stiff wire, ten or IL feet long,
with n long narrow hook about the
size of a chickens leg at the end.
The operator stealthily approaches
the fowl, hooks it by the leg, and
draws it in as an angler would a fish,
then it is carried back in triumph to
its coop.

GREAT TUNNEL IN THE ALPS.
Troublesome Problem of Cooling the
Air in The SImplon Tube Has at
Last Been Solved.

Troublesome Problem of Cooling the
Air in the SImpIon Tube Has at
Last Been Solved.
Recent dispatches have suggested
the probability that work upon the
Simplon tunnel in the Alps would be
abandoned because the hot springs
encountered made the heat so great
that it could not be borne. The diff
culties, however, have been solved.
For a distance of Ga miles the
mountain has been penetrated on the
north and for Az miles on the south
side, leaving ~ miles to complete it.
A iuncture will be effected next year
with maximum of error in direc-
tion of seven or eight inches.
Owing to the great height of the
mountains above the tunnel, the pres
sure is great, and the temperature of
the rocks and springs is correspond
ingly high. The greatest heat en-
countered was 1873 f. 1t is now 1876.
This temperature, with water falling
upon the workmen, would iniure
them, but this heat has been reduced
by diluting the air with cold from
hydraulic mains. To cool the air a
large volume of fresh air, the tenn
perature of which has been reduced
by means of a high pressure water
spray, is sent up to the working face
of the tunnel, where it is perfectly
cool and fresh in contrast with the
foulness and oppressiveness usual ir
other tunnels.
There is no sickness among the
workmen. A Brandt drill immediate
ly suppresses the dust. There has
not been single case of miners
phthisis, although 5000 men have
been working for five years.

work without the greatest exhaustion.
This is a very common sight and is al
most always due to pelvic catarrh.
1t is worse than foolish for so many
women to suffer year after year with
disease that can be permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh permanently. 1t
cures old chronic cases as we'll as slight
attack, the only difference being in the
length of time that it should be taken
to effect cure.

factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
vice gratis.

the second row, put in two extra stitches

increase four stitches three times, and
you have 33 rows. Crochet 1S stitches,
turn and make six rows, increase one
stitch at the center every second row for
nine rows, then work six rows without
increasing. This makes altogether 80
