Mitau in disguise, lived r%iotously for a
week, and returned to the forests
drunk with the desire for further muir
der, plumber and vengeance.
Recently the forest region which
formed Viten's lair suddenly became
safe for travellers. The bandit had
disappeared. The story was that he
had fed to Konigsberg with the abb
Quoted daughter of his last victim.
The German police sought him, but
the Russian police found him. Backed
by a score of Cossacks, they burst, on
the 18th of September, into a part OF
the forest where the Cars authority
had not been known for a year. A
crowd of petty German traders were
holding a meeting in a pine grove.
And in front of them, his body sus-
pended from a branch, his nose, ears
and fingers cut off, vas the dead BAN
dit. Close by, a~postrophizing the vic
TINS body in derisive eulogy, was the
uncle of the girl abducted.

WashinQ laces.

To wash laces make a suds with
naphtha soap and tepid water, put the
laces in it and let them soak for half
an hour; then souse them around and
squeeze between the hands to get the
water out. Make fresh suds souse
laces around again, but do not rub
lest you break the meshes; squeeze,
then rinse in two waters, with a few
drops of dissolved gum arabic in the
last water. If the lace is cream CT
ecru add a few drops of orange dye
to the last water, or, If pure white. a
few drops of bluing. Spread on a
sheet to dry; when nearly dry pull
gently into shape and roll from n
end, keeping edges even; then wrap
in a damp cloth and let lie for half an
hour and press with a not too hot
iron.

Scientific Idea of Religion.

"And what is religion as the mar OF
science apprehends it," asks Presi-
dent Pritchett, of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. Stripped of
all forms of conventional language,
laying aside the imagery and tradi-
tons which cling about the very
word itself, religion presents itself to
the nan trained in science as nothing
other than the divine life in the hui
man soul, a life which manifests it
self. by the growth which it brings
forth, the divine flowers of the hui
man heart, unselishness, love, fear
~lessness, serenity, patience, service"

A Good Soda Cake.

Three-quarters of a pound Of flour,
three ounces of lard or butter, a
quarter of a pound of sugar, five
ounces of currants, ditto sultanas, a
piece of candied lemon peel, a quar-
ter of an ounce of caraway seeds, a
small teaspoonful of carbonate of
soda, two ~teaspoonfuls of vinegar, and
half a pint Of milk. Wash and dry
the c%urrants and sultanaS. Rub the
lard into the flour, add all the dry
ingredients, well mix them, and make
into a dough with the milk. Add the
vinegar, and if necessary a little more
milk; beat well. Place in a well
creased tin, and bake in a moderate
oven for one hour and a half or two
hours. The object of the vinegar is
to take off the taste of the carbonate
of soda.

set his face like a flint against the
time-honored practice of ~wife-beating,
indulge every Saturday in a wholesale
~"redding-up' of their houses, the like
of which is not to be seen in all Asia.
Their sole lapse from virtues ways
appears to be that they are apt to con-
struct and conceal from the sight of
their rulers certain illicit stills
things not unknown to the records Of
Scotland, but startlingly inappropriate
to a Mohammedan people-wherein
they brew cocoanut toddy of an ex-
ceeding vileness.
1t is sad to think that the old isola-
ton is likely to disappear, since a
cable station is to be erected on the
atoll, and strange men and strange
ideas will soon break in upon the
island calm. Every one must regret
with Mr.. Clifford the "loss of the sim
plicity and the seclusion, which have
been the tools in the hands of an OBJ
scure Scots family wherewith to fash
ion something so near in likeness to

WELLS AS WEATHER PROPHETS
Scientists Prove Popular Idea to Be
Founded on Fact.

A popular idea in Switzerland that
some of the wells in that country are
reliable weather prophets has been
proved by scientists to be well
founded. These wells, by some sort
of pressure not clearly understood,
have the property of drawing in air at
certain times and of blowing out air
at other periods. In order to ascer-
tain definitely if there was any truth
in the idea of weather prophecy the
wells were covered and a small open
ing was surmounted with a U-shaped
pressure gauge. 1t was found that
when the barometer rises the air
rushes out. The currents of air are
definite and easy to perceive, even
without the gauge. The general ten
dency of the weather is foretold with
considerable certainty.

The Cows Staircase.

The sight of a COW looking out from
an upstairs bedroom window startled
the inhabitants of the village of Max.
stoke, England, a few days ago. In
vestigation showed that the lower
rooms of a dilapidated cottage had
been converted into a cowshed, and
that the animal, having climbed the
staircase, had apparently attempted
to reach the open by thrusting it's
head and forequarters through the
easement; where it had been caught.
BY the aid of ropes and ladders the
COW was released, and with much
difficulty induced to descend the
staircase.

ANIMAL WEDGED FAST IN HOLE
IN SEARCH FOR RABBIT.
IS FOUND BY ITS MISTRESS
Canine, Though Too Weak to Move,
Gradually Regains Its Strength
on Warm Milk and Water
Diet.

London.-An extraordinary instance
Of a dogs wonderful endurance comes
from Guildford, in Surrey.
Bessie, the dog in question. Is a val
liable one, and her delighted mistress
regards her escape from death as
something like a miracle. That h
dog is little the worse for the adven-
ture was proved by her lively bark OF
welcome when a reporter first saw
her.
About a month ago Bessie thought
she would go on a little sporting ex-
petition of her own in the extensive
grounds which adjoin the house, and
she chased a rabbit down a big hole.
That was the last that was seen or
heard of her until last Sunday, when
her mistress, happening to pass in the
direction of the burrow, heard faint
whines proceeding from it. Another
dog, noticing the sounds, made for the
rabbit hole Immediately.
There his evident excitement made
it apparent that he had discovered
something extraordinary. The woman
herself hardly dared to hope that the
lost Bessie had been found, imagining
that she had been stolen, but imme-
diately ran back to the house and or
dered the warren to be dug up.
Two men were quickly on the spot,
and with pick and shovel they dug
open a trench about eight or nine feet
long. On going deeper they found the
head of the dog wedged between some
stones.
Bessie was still alive, after being 26
days in that coffin-like space without
food, without water, and without any
room to turn.
The animal was tenderly lifted out
of the hole, and it was then seen what
a change had come over her. Fat as
a young pig" before she went in, she
now appeared to be nothing but skin
and bone, her ribs projecting painfully
under her black and tan coat.
Very carefully she was taken into
the house and fed on warm milk and

IT WAS NOT WATTY
MRS. suRoE OVER HAsTY IN Ap-
MiNisTERINc PUNISHMENT.
Little Happening In Ministers Homo

All But the Two Chief
Participants.

Years ago there lived In Somerville.
Mass, the Rev. Mr.. Burge, a minis
ter of the Methodist church. His
young eight-year-old hopeful, Watty,
was addicted to the habit Of purloin-
ing sugar from a closet. Remon-
STRANGE by father and mother proved
of no avail, and though Watty protest
ed his innocence, the old lady said
she would watch for, catch and chas-
tise him.
Rev. DR.. Gloss, then presiding elder
of the conference district, in passing
through the section, halted at Mr..
Burgess to spend the night. He was
assigned to a room adjoining the
closet which was the cen of young
Watty's depredations.
At dawn on the following morning
the reverend gentleman arose and re-
paired to his closet to attend to his
mornings devotion, and, unfortunate
ly for him, knelt lear the usual posi-
ton of the sugar dish. At this mo-
ment Mrs. Burge had occasion to
visit the closet, and, quietly opening
door, discovered what she supposed

STRANGE ROMANCE OF A SCOT.
George Ross and His Private Malay
sian Colony.

George Ross, the son of a poor ten
ant farmer in the Orkneys, went u
in a whaler to the China seas, entered
the East India company's navy, n
ultimately took to shipbuilding, says
the London Spectator. When fortune
came to him he went back to Scotland
and carried off his whole family to the
Cocos islands, which he annexed as
his own. The tale of the colony which
he founded there is scarcely inferior
in interest to the history OF Sarawak.
His son was a dreamer and philoso-
pher, but his grandson was a mighty
man of his hands, who turned the set

To Make a Dull, Piano Erioht.

Alcohol is used by workers in fac
tories to remove the dull appearance
from highly polished surfaces of
pianos, but the putting on of this
liquid must be carefully done, Or the
finish will be burned, and the case
have to be dressed and polished the
same as it was when lev This
process is costly, so if alcohol is
rubbed on the dull spots with a soft
cotton or flannel cloth only a little
of the liquid should be used. Put on
with a light stroke across the sur
face, then should follow a brisk rub
with a soft silk or cheesecloth rag.

BELTS MADE OF MEDALS.
Trophies of Athletic Skill Of Young
Woman's Fiancee.

Probably the most remarkable belt
worn by any woman in New York is
one consisting of 16 gold medals, each
of which represents a first prize in an
athletic contest won by the wearer's
fiance, the two medals forming the
clasp standing for national champion
ships. The making of this belt was
a formidable task for the jeweler who
got it up, owing to the fact that the
fastening together Of the 16 medals
had to be done with unusual care,
since the liberal use of enamel made
the business of brazing on the gold
eyelets for the connecting links a la
borious process. The young woman
who wore the belt was of the opinion
that she had the only thing Of the
kind in the country until she went
to a set of games at Trayers island
within a week and discovered that an
other medal-winner in the New York
Athletic club had a similar adornment
made for his fiancee.

Comfort in Kitchen.

In every kitchen there should be g
very high chair and a very low one.
Economy of strength is true wisdom
on the part of a. worker, and much
standing and constant fatigue-and
sometimes actual illness-may be
avoided by the use of proper chairs.
Plain ironing, mixing of buildings, and
many other TASKS may be done as well
when sitting on a high chair or stool
as when standing; and the low chair
is useful for sitting in to shell peas
or string c%urrants, when it is con-
venient to have a bowl in ones lap,
and another bowl or basket on the
floor beside one.

DANCING Crew Saved Ship.

The British b~attleship, Dominion,
which struck a reef at Point Bona
venture, in the Chaleur bay, was
saved from destruction by the crew
dancing in order to keep the ship
alive and prevent her from settling
on the ledge. The officers and crew
were told to assemble with their kits
in their hands and dance together,
the band playing lively tunes. Finally,
with the engines working full speed
astern, the Dominion slowly gave
way and backed again into deep
water.
