London and its associates is the Lieut.

Leutgert got his wife into the factory,
murdered her, and is alleged to have
cut her up in pieces and made sausage
of the meat, given the pieces with girls
tie in to his dogs, boiled the bones until
they would run into the sewer, dissolved
the remnants in concentrated I've, and
sold the sausage to the lumber Jacks in

German Army Discipline.

Discipline is severe in the German
army and the treatment of privates is
sometimes unjustifiable. At Dessau a
sergeant who had been drinking to ex-
cess insulted two young women who
were escorted by a couple of men in
the ranks. The privates protested to
the minor officer, who drew his sword
and attacked them, in his drunkenness
wounding one of the girls, In the af-
fray which followed the sergeant was
disarmed and felled to the floor. All
three were put on trial. The sergeant
was sentenced to prison for five
months, while the unfortunate privates
were condemned to five years behind
the bars at hard labor, were dismissed
from the service and were deprived of
their civil rights. Service as private
in an army so regulated cannot be a
cause of pride in time of peace.-N. Y.

IAN OLD PAINTERS IDEAS"

The autumn season Is coming more
and more to be recognized as most
suitable time for housepainting. There
is no frost deep in the wood to make
trouble for even the best Job of paint.
ing, and the general seasoning of the
summer has put the wood into good
condition in every way. The weather,
moreover, is more likely to be settled
for the necessary length of time to
allow all the coats to thoroughly dry,
very important precaution. An old
and successful painter said to the
writer the other day: House owners
would get more for their money II they
would allow their painters to take
more time, especially between coats.
Instead of allowing barely time for the
surface to get dry enough not to be
'tacky,' several days weeks would
not be too much) should be allowed
so that the coat might set through
and through. 1t is inconvenient, of
course, but, II one would suffer this
slight inconvenience, 1t would add two
or three years to the life Of the paint"
All this is assuming, of course, that
the paint used is the very best to
be had. The purest of white lead and
the purest OF linseed oil unmixed with
any cheaper of the cheap mixtures,
often known as White Lead" and oil

painter are useless to prevent the

therefore, make painting bills too fire.

THE LATEST LAUNDRY BAG
It Is Made of White Material in Pref
erence to Colored-May Be
Laundered Often.

The very newest laundry bags are
of white linen; or, if one cannot af-
ford this material, cannon cloth makes
an excellent substitute, suggests a con-
tributor to the Chicago Inter Ocean,
possessing, as it does, the wearing
properties and appearance Of the linen
without its expensive feature. The
OrnamentatiOn Of the bag consists Of
the word laundry in large and attrac-
tive lettering, placed diagonally across
one side Of the bag, and embroidered
in wash silk or cotton floss. The edges
of the bag are neatly machine stitched,
then feather-stitchcd by hand. A cas-.
ing two inches from the top through
which is run a tape or ribbon adds
the finishing touch. The chief virtue
of these white bags over the time.
h0nored ones Of cretOnne and similar
material lies in the fact that they may
be laundered as often as desirable, yet
retain their pristine freshness. The
size of the bag, as matter of course,
depends wholly upon the demands to
be made upon it.

Worlds Cotton Consumption.

The consumption Of cotton from
1898 to 1898 averaged only 100000
bales annually in the whole world, but
from 1888 to 1903 the average was TO-
6S4,146 bales annually, and the aver
age price was three cents per pound
greater than for the previous period.
If the consumption increases at the
same ratio during the next five year
period the average will be nearly 49,
100000 bales annually, and the prices
will be much higher than in the pre-
vious period. This indicates a pros.
porous future for the cotton producer
and manufacturer, as well as for the
export trade.

interesting developments will follow

when a king or queen got in the tower
they went out on the installment plan,
and after being thrown in the gutter
for the mob to recognize, and walk on
the bodies, they would bring them

a pigeon hole for future generations
to cry over.
