was doing patrol duty yesterday on
 Rubber avenue, had an encounter
 with the two Crotty brothers, with
 the result that Patrick Crotty's head
 was split open with the club that
 was carried by the policeman. It re- qu1red the service of surgeon to close up the wound caused by the officers club. The condition of the injured man last night was such that
 the physician deemed it, unwise to
 confine him in a cell at the police station, so he was not taken there.
 The other brother, John, was placed
 under arrest by Chief Schmidt, and taken to the police station where he
 spent the night. Officer Dodge was
 sorry looking sight as he appeared
 after the scrap. He was covered
 with blood, and his coat showed the
 effects of where he had been rolling in the mud. A crowd of not less
 than one thousand persons had con
 gregated soon after the fight started
 as it happened in one of the most thickly populated districts of the
 borough. When the cases were brought before Judge Hungerford in the borough court this morning it was learned that Patrick was un-
 able to appear, and as the cases of the two brothers were to be tried
 at the same time the court adjourn ed the cases until tomorrow morn ing, placing John under $200 bond

THE THIRTEEN SUPERSTITION.

The thirteen superstition has re- ceived a setback in the Daily Chroni- cle. Five and fifty years ago,
 says the writer. Lord Roberts was one of thirteen who sat down to din- 'ner on New Years day at Peshawar. Eleven years later-though most of them had been through the Indian mutiny, and half of them had been wounded-they were all alive"
 Why is thirteen unlucky? it is usually stated that the superstituous objection to sitting thirteen It q table in Christian countries Was based on the fact of the last supper. when Christ and His twelve disciples sat down to eat together immediate ly before the Saviour was seized by His enemies. But in the Morse mythology. which is supposed 10 antedate the introduction of Christi anity among the Nortbmen, the superstition referred to the fact that at the banquet Of the gods. LOki. the spirit of mischief. intruded himself, making thirteen at the table. where fore there was a fight. and BalbouT. a young hero. especially loved by ;he gods, was killed.-LondOn P. T. 0.

A LAKE THAT CHANGES COLOR
At different Times of the Year It is
 Yellow, Green. Red and Gray.

A small lake at Seaside, Montery county, Cal, changes its color foul times every year. To all appear. ances this lake is just like any other small lake, and there seems to be nc reason why it should be such a re. markabIe sheet of water. It is pret. tily situated. full of fish and water. fowl. and when in its normal condi- tion the water is clear and sweet Ii has one peculiarity besides it's varia- able color, however. The water i: never stagnant. despite the fact that there is no apparent outlet to the lake.
 The color changes are very pro. nounced and are in four distinct shades. yellow. green. red and dark gray that has the appearance of black at times. After each change the water regains it's normal clear ap. pearance The color is in the water and is not the result of reflection from the sky. This has been proved beyond doubt by the fact that the color remains the same for days al a time. regardless of the condition oi the clouds. The four eOlOrs men. tioned are the ones always seen, and they always occur in the order named the disturbance. if such it may bt called. covering a period of iron six weeks to two months in July and August of each year. Old resi-. dents of Seaside assert that the phe. nOmenon is a regular annual event and that it is always followed by the death of a large number of fish in the lake
 No explanation of the peculiar condition has ever been attempted b. scientists, although several scien- life men of note have studied the lake very carefully. The prevailing opinion among the inhabitants of the section surrounding the lake is of volcanic origin and that the changes are due tO subteTranean disturb ances which produce chemical changes in the water of the lake. This idea is supposed to have grown out of the belief that the lake is bot . tUmIess Twenty years ago. when the Southern Pacific railroad was be- ing built across one end of the lake. the rOadbed sank almost as fast as it Eas laid and thousands of 1ons Oi gravel and stone were dumped into the lake before a stable foundation could be obtained. This led to the belief that the lake is bottomless. The lake is not more than three quarters Of a mile long by less than Ezlf mile wide--St Louis Globe Democrat

Need For Dust Sheets.

Every housekeeper should be amply
provided with dust sheets, which can
be thrown over upholstered chairs, So
fas and other items of furniture when
the rooms undergo their periodical
turnout"
Old worn bed linen is often used for
this purpose, but when it is very thin
and torn it ceases to be a protection,
and the dust filters through and spoils
covers and paint.
Calico and print are much the best
materials to use. and the initial ex-
pense involved in investing in stocks
of these dust covers is amply repaid
over and over again.
Two widths of the material sewed
together and hemmed are sufficient for
ordinary use, two yards square being
of ample size for an armchair.
When the covers are washed they
should he well starched and ironed. the

A GREAT BEAUTlFIER.
Laugh and Give Your Nerves a Holt

Laugh and Give Your Nerves a Holt
day.
There is no doubt that laughter is
great beautifier. and so. too, is relax
alton" says New Zealand exchange.
Indeed it is marvellous how some
women manage to perform their vari-
Gus duties at all without ever giving
their nerves holiday by relaxing
them. AS they go on day after day
the worried minds seem to twist the
nerves until they are tense and strain
ed, like the spring of a clock that is
kept tightly wound up. The tension
shows in the face, which grows sharp
and thin in the voice. which becomes
querulous and bad tempered, and in
the manners. which become hurried,
abrupt and disconcerting. Women who
have allowed themselves to sink into
such condition usually complain that
they have no time to rest. AS matter
of fact. they have lost the power of
resting and simply must be doing
something. They seem to be afflicted
with the disease of perpetual motion,
and if they could only realize it are
rapidly wasting their nervous strength
and preparing for a physical break
down. This is plain speaking but only
plain speaking will make some women
stop their suicidal folly and take them
selves well in hand. They may think
that they have no time to rest. but the
housework the cooking. washing,
cleaning, ironing. mending, must be
done day by day or else their world
| will come to an end. But there is no
| housework under the sun that cannot
be rearranged in such way that a
weary and worn woman may lie down
| twenty minutes and rest at some time
during the day And if she cannot see
her way to rearranging her work then
she must let some of it go. There are
| no two questions about it. We cannot
| juggle with our health. we women.
Either the work must go or we must.
| And there is no work of ours that an
| other woman cannot step in and do
J quite as well-perhaps better This
! sounds hard. but it is true. So when
we find that our passion for doing
things is sapping strength of body
aud elasticity of mind. let us stop and
consider whether it is after all, worth
| sacrificing health. happiness and good
looks fora bed or padded cell in a
hospital.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

II few drops of glycern be added
to the starch for linens it will be
found that the iron will not stick and
that the linens will have beautiful
gloss after they are ironed.
Use a clean brick to stand the iron
on when ironing instead of the usual
ironing stand. 1t has no holes under
meath to admit the air. and the irons
will retain their heat much longer.
New boots often do not take good
polish. They will do so if they are
rubbed over with cut lemon before
they are BACKED. A cut raw potato
may be used instead of the lemon if
the latter is not to be had.
To make paper stick to metal use a
strong solution of washing soda While
hot dip the metal in and when clean
take it out and rub with a soft cloth.
Apply onion juice to the metal. press
the paper smoothly over it. and it will
adhere like glue, and it will be almost
impossible to separate the two.
