How to Utilize Broken CHINA.

When the next breakage takes
place in the house I would suggest
that my readers collect all the pieces.
great and small, and carefully nut
them on one side. 1 have no doubt
by the time the long winter evenings
are here the collection will have
grown rather formidable. I want
TO tell you how to make them into "a
thing of beauty"
A large pudding dish makes a very
handsome flower-bowl when decorat-
ed In the following manner: Procure
some putty, and spread on the bowl
with palette knife. Take your
pieces of china and press them into
the putty; put them as close together
as possible, but do not let them over
lap each other; no piece of china
should be large. Before the putty is
put on the dish the pieces of china
should be arranged on a piece of
paper as they are intended to be
placed on the bowl, so that all the
pieces may be quickly laid on the
putty before it hardens.-Florida

EIGHT KILLED and

Killed or Hurt-Cause of Accident
Not Determined.

Hartford. CT. Especially. = Eight
workmen were killed and over 80 in
jured when a passenger train on the
Highland Division of the New York,

that was backing into the city from
New Britain at the SigOurney Street
crossing. OF the injured two proba-
bly, will die.
Some of the victims within easy
reach were dead, but were left while
the rescuers tried to extricate the
living. In one instance 1t took an
hour and half to rescue one work
man who was pinned between the
trucks. His head was hanging down
backwards and he suffered severely;
but the rcscuerS encouraged him.
while doctors reached between the
frame work which held him q pris-
oner and treated the wounds on the
face and head.
There are three unofficial versions
Of the cause of the wreck. One is
that the passenger train for New Bril-
tain went out on Il wrong track.
The second Is that the work train
had the right of way until o'clock,
and should have had a clear track !;
that the passenger train was ahead
of time at that point. The third is
that the work train opened a switch
and failed to close it.
The engineer of the work train
claims that he had the right of way,
and his statements are borne out by
others on this train. Engineer VIII
son, of the passenger train, jumped
In time to escape injury The pas
sengers, however, were badly shaken
up and some were cut by flying glass.

and sideswiped the wreckage. There
was much danger because the wreck
ed cars had to be maintained in an
upright position by stays while the
rescuers were underneath battling TO
save the lives Of those caught in the
wreckage.

out. After quenching the flames.

Soon after the wreck, while an in
vesugation was being made to ascer-

AS L had read all the newspapers
In sight, and several stories in a mag
azine 1 had found on the table while
the business was being attended to,
now had nothing to do but watch
the preparations for dinner.
The "skouse" was made by putting
some beef drippings into an old-fasl1-
Toned iron kettle, then two good-sized
onions were sliced into the drippines
and fried brown, then a quart of
boiling water was added and several
large pieces of the day-befores pot
roast; now four potatoes were cut
into rather small pieces and put in
the kettle with the onions and meat.
When the potatoes were cooked. q
little thickening was added, and as
sure you the odor of that "skouse"
did make me hungry.
The "skorn," a kind of hot bread
the home folks" had taught the
bachelor to make, was quickly put
together, and have never eaten anv
bread OF the kind that was more pal
atable. Two teacuDfuis of flour two
teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one
half teaspOonful of salt, two table
spoonfuls of sugar, two eggs and one
cupful of water were put into a milk
crock and stirred vigorously, then put
into gem pans, and baked half an
hour in pretty hot oven. When the

When the dinner was put upon the
table there was added to the above
good crisp cucumber pickles which

and they also made the shells for
impromptu pies. This pie was made
by pouring 4 glass of raspberry lam
into the ready-made crust, or shell,
then a cupful of whipped cream
poured over the top. Now, with good
country butter and rich cream for our
coffee, we had dinner, it seemed
to me, good enough to serve to the
most fastidious.-Mary l.. Kimmerly,

CHILD BURNED IN YARD.
Smothered BY Bagging And Thrown
Into Grave.


West Chester, Pa. (SpeciaD .-Ir-
win Lewis, a broad-shouldered, blue
eyed young farmer, was taken from
this village to the country seat at
West Chester, charged with the muir
der of his iive-year-old stepdaughter,
Mary Robbins Newlin, by burying
her alive.
The prisoner was under Il heavy
guard of deputy sheriffs throughout
the 27-mile journey to West Chester
because of the furious sentiment
against him throughout the region.
The crime that District Attorney
w. w. MclSlree declares he is certain
that the young farmer committed
seems unbelievable because of the
multiple horrors that attended it.
In brief, there was this little fair
haired child, as chubby and beauti-
full as an angel, say the men and
women who knew her, who never
had father the law could recognize.
She was born after young
Southerner had brought grief and
unhappiness upon the home of Edna

of taunts and insulting gibes about
the child. The mother and step
father endured these rough insults
for many months. Nevertheless. he

and she with him. The mother was

Worse Than Useless.

James ]. Hill, the railroad presi-
dent, was once riding at night on
the rear end OF his private car when
his train passed over a long wooden
trestle. A freight train had gone
over a few minutes before, and Mr.
Hill remembered he had given orders
that after the passing of all trains
over this trestle a track patrolman
should go over the structure with
bucket of water and extinguish any
embers that might have fallen from
the locomotive. Though the Hill
special was going along at forty
miles an hour, the alert eye of the
president caught sight of a hole in
the bottom of the bucket as the
Waterman, in the moonlight, threw
the vessel over one shoulder Mr..
Hill ordered the train back to the
trestle and summoned the Waterman
to him.
MY man, you are to. the Great
Northern Company just what that
hole is to the bucket you carry-a
good deal worse than useless. You
may throw the bucket away and look
for another job. Human life 1t too
dear to trust it to one of your kind"
