osity of the neighbors, for when later
she was sent to the attic on account
of the trouble down stairs, to sift meal,
to her amazement the chest, which was
filled to the brim with meal, COM
menced to jog away two inched at a
time, until it had reached the corner,
and after little it became so excited
that when her dress touched it it flew
to the ceiling and also went over the
stairs.
This was too much for the family,
and the children fled in fear to the
neighbors, telling them the wonderful
feats that were happening to the house.
Curious people gathered in large num-
bers and soon grew so excited that
poor Hannah was SGT to work touching
everything to see how it worked. The
door latch flew up with great rapidity
when she touched the door, and even
the farmers heavy workbench when
touched logged rapidly over the floor
When, however, horseshoe was fas-
tened over the door the latch stopped
it's antics and the table ceased to move
Excitement was at it's height when
the owner of the house walked in, dis
gusted at the commotion, sent the
neighbors to their homes, summoned
the ministers and had prayers said
over the girl. The next day was the
Sabbath, and all was quiet in the
household. Monday, as soon as Mr..
Spofford had left the house, the neigh
bors for a second time gathered and
the same performances were gone
through, this time three large men, DIR.
Amos Spofford, David Thurston, ESQ.,.
and Capt. William Perley, all sat on
the chest, and yet with their united
weights did it rise nearly to the ceiling
and start to turn corner
The master of the house, suspect
ing that the work might be renewed.
came home, and the ministers we're
for the second time called for prayers.
aud the matter was stopped through
the sending away of the girl who was
at the bottom of the trouble, and who
seems never afterward to have been
gifted with the same power.
Ever after the chairs, tables and
meal chest kept to their own places
and although the matter was ouieted
down, yet the witnesses could not be
silenced through it's being an optical
delusion which had occurred while they
were In the room.-Boston Globe.

Removing Mildew Stains.

Mildew stains can be removed from
black wooden goods by washing in a
dilated solution of javelle water. Try a
sample of the goods first in order not to
get the solution too strong, otherwise it
will take the color out along with the
stains.

NEW VEHICLE FOR RAILROADS
Gasoline Car Which May Be Used
on Branch Lines.

The Union Pacific is constructing in
its shops at Cheyenne, Wyo., one of the
most remarkable vehicles for transpor-
tation ever contrived in the form of a
gasoline car, which, if successful, will be
adopted on all the branch lines of the
Hartman system.
The car in the form of big passenger
coach, will be operated by a gas
cline engine. This engine can be re-
versed the same as locomotive and the
car will be similar to those used on in
terurban electric lines, with the advan-
tage that this car does not require a
central power house or the establish
ment of electric lines for the conveyance
of power. 1t will have a capacity of 60
passengers, with baggage, and will
make 60 miles an hour. 1t will do away
with locomotives ON branch lines where
traffic is not heavy, and revolutionize
modern railroad operations. The gaso-
line engine is supplied automatically
from tanks under the car, and will be
as simple of operation as the ordinary
street tram cars.

GOLD AT OSCEOLA.
White Pine Camp More Active Than
for Years Past.

The Times of Milford, Utah. says
DIR. H. A. Whitney of Salt Lake passed
through here on Tuesday ON his way
home from Osceola, White Pine County,
Nevada, where he has mining interests,
and is the owner of an up-to-date, first.
class five-stamp mill. The doctor spent
a couple of weeks in the famous gold
camp, inaugurating some systematic
development work in his mines. On
this trip he succeeded in opening up a
very rich vein of gold ore, about Is
inches wide that will run from 800 to
$3.50 per ton. The doctor has q. large
tonnage of good milling ore on the
dump and enough more in sight and
blocked out to justify putting the mill
in commission at an early day. and for
a continuous run.
"Osceola," the doctor says, sis more
active than for years past. The mines
being worked give promise of rich re-
turns, and it seems now an assured fact
that Osceola will soon take her place
among the gold producing camps for
which Nevada is now justly famous.
New life. new energy is all that is lack
ing to make of Osceola great gold pro-
ducing camp"
