INFESTED FOR STEALING.

Clinton Matin has made complaint
before Justice Mason that July IL a
coat valued at SIS and 1915 in case
were stolen from him. The coat was
in a boathouse on the shore near
Swan Hill. He said he suspected
Henry Culver of the theft. Justice
Mason ISSUED a warrant and Constar
BILE McCabe arrested Culver. After a
hearing the prisoner was COMMITTEE
TO the county jail to await actio,, o.
the grand jury.
Thursday morning as the Justice
was going to the post office he met
Martin and James Culver, a brother
of the accused coming to his office.
He wanted to make a proposition to
the Justice that he discharge Culver
from Jail and his brother would make
arrangements and pay the value of
the property taken in weekly install
ments. But the justice said he could
not permit such a thing as Henry
alphabetically denied taking the coat
or money when James replied, Yes,
he took them for he told me So"
The Justice came to conclusion that
the state has a good case and Henry
will have to await the action of the

UNWORTHY OF PATRONAGE.

A merchant who displays his cheap
John qualities by STOPPING so low In
his search for business as to steal the
benefits of a newspapers circulation
by inserting circulars in the paper
after 1t has reached the ~newsdealer's
hands, in order to avoid paying le-
ultimate advertising rates, is unwor-
thy of the patronage of the readers
of any newspaper. A certain firm in
this borough is using this method
of doing business. This firm evidently
recognizes the value of the circula-
ton OF the NEWS for advertising
purposes, but is too mean to adver-
tise in the way all respectable bust
ness men do. 1t is NJ wonder that
firms using such sneaking tactics go
into the hands of a receiver. To
steal the benefits of a newspapers
circulation is the same toward that
newspaper as a person stealing a
yard of ribbon in a store is toward
that merchant. 1t is common thiev-
ing.

SALT FROM THE OCEAN.
Primitive Evaporating Works in
China Used for Centuries.

Many tons of impure salt are made
each year at different points on the
coast of north China, extending from
Tongku to Shanhaikan and Nieuch-
wang. The methods employed are the
same in each place, and the same
have been in use certainly from the
time of Marco Polo's famous journey
through Eastern China, says an ex-
change.
The salt is made by the evapora-
ton of sea water. The water is
pumped into the evaporating basins
by wind power and evaporated by
the heat of the sun. Extending many
miles each way from Tongku the
coast is nearly level and only a few
inches or feet above high tide. On
this fiat coast are the salt works.
The e%vaporating basins are made on
the flats and have much the appear
ance of innumerable tennis courts of
great size.
They are separated from each 9TH
err by small ridges of mud about eight
inches high. The bottoms of the ba-
sins are made level and hard rolled
with a stone roller. The basins are
filled to a depth of three inches with
sea water, which is evaporated by
the of the sun in from one to three
days, leaving a coating of salt on the
bottom. This is carefully scraped
into a pile and after re-rolling the
bottom more water is pumped in.
These basins are located about
two feet above the sea level, and in
groups, so as to be served by a cen
trail pump. The flats are cut in all
directions by small canals. giving
each group water connections with
the main salt yards at the railway
station or river. The salt as fast as
1t is made, is shoveled into small
boats, which are punted through the
canals to the main yards, where 1t
is thrown into great heaps and COW
cred with mats, waiting to be sold
and packed for the Tien-Tsin market.

port, which was built for the Export

ing of whistles and waving OF flags,
1t glided into the water. A little girl,
a daughter of one of the owners, in
a very graceful manner, christened
the boat as she left the ways. This
boat, which is ITO feet long, will re-
main at the yard for a short time
and, be completed. This boat had no
more than struck the water, than A.

HOW TO CLEAN A CHIMNEY

INV ~ OlJIhN "A CnlNlN E1.
A citizen of Roosevelt, whose resi-
dence is not over a mile from School
No. 2, on Woodbridge enu de-
cided the other evening, after return
ing from work, to clean the chimney
of his house. With axe in hand he
started for the woods up the Boule-
ward to cut a cedar tree. On the way
he met a seedy looking individual
who accosted him with the remark
that he (the citizen) looked danger
Gus carrying an axe. Mr.. Blank as
sured the wanderer that he was per-
fectly harmless. Where are you GO
ing with the axe?" I'm going to
get a cedar tree, with which l intend
to clean out my chimney" replied the
citizen.
That's a poor way to clean a chin
ney," ventured the man of the road.
Have you a revolver in the house?"
he asked. Mr.. Blank replied in the
affirmative, and said he had a 3S
calibre.
Then go home and use it," was
the answer.
Mr.. Blank is telling his friends
about town how simple a thing 1t is

say, but there is no doubt about the
efficacy of a 3S calibre when it comes
