LETTER FROM MIR DAVIS.
Crown Point, Ind, Oct. IL.

Editor TINES Hammond, Ind.
Dear Sir:-My attention has been
called to reference to myself. made
in the issue of you paper of Saturday
last ] beg to say that have no recol-
lection OF having been interviewed by
any member of your staff or having
talked with any of them. directly. about
the Interurban Railway proposed to
connect Gary and Crown Point 1 think
your use OF my name In this connection
will have the effect OF misleading my
friends in Crown Point to my atti-
tude In the matter. I will say now that
my attitude is the same that 1T ever
has been and that is. 1 believe that
Crown Point. as a city, should lend
itself to the establishing OF an inter-
urban railway to Hammond, where
dozens of railways can be made use of
to reach Chicago quickly believe that
Chicago means more to Crown Point
than any other connection 1t could make
by means OF fnterurban service.
Chicago. aside from being one of the
largest cities in the world. is absolute
lily the most remarkable city in the
world. No such growth has even been
known and it is my belief that 1t is
destined to be the largest city on the
face of the earth So the quicker Crown
Point is put in quick touch with the
nerve force that is creating this won
derful city the better. There is no
other section of the country surround :
ing Chicago that Is so much isolated
from that city and feels SO little its
stimulating influence. is that por-
tion of which Crown Point is the centre.
With a service, such as indicate above.
many citizens OF Chicago, particularly
of the south end, would seek homes in
and about Crown Point The location
being on the ridge between the valleys
of the Calumet and the Kankakee riv-
ers. is particularly healthy. The school
system of Indiana, admitted the best in
the United States. makes 1t particularly
attractive TO parents. Now that the
Sag canal is under process of construc :
ton, the south end of Chicago. once the
canal finished, will come into great de-
mand, both for residence and business
purposes
I wish you would give my views the
prominence in your columns that you
did my supposed remarks in last Sat-
urday's TINES
also think that for further connec-
ton with the Indiana suburban railway
service connection with Chicago by the
most direct route Is worth to Crown
Point one hundred Garys.

PUTTING the Owl TO Use.

There is a choice old recipe. in which
the owl figures. ito make any one
that sleepeth answer to whatsoever
thou ask" given in ''Physick For the
Poor" published in London In 1867.
It says that you are to take the heart
Of an owl and his left leg and put
that upon the breast Of one that
sleepeth, and they shall reveal what
soever thou shalt ask them"
The Hindus, however, declare that
the flesh or blood Of an owl Will
make a person insane who eats or
drinks it. On this account men who
are devoured by jealousy Of rival or
hatred Of an enemy come furtively to
the market and purchase an owl. In
silence they carry it home and secretly
prepare decoction, which an accom-
plice will put into the food or drink Of
the object Of their malignant designs.

he had been used to decide bet as to
the length of time it would take to COW

How Gold Plate il Made.

Talking OF silver gilt plate, 1t Is
often spoken Of as gold plate. One
hears Of the gold service at Windsor
castle. of the gold plate owned by SOW
ereigns of Europe and by other per-
sons In this country as well as abroad.
As matter Of fact, these so called
gold services are silver gilt, and only
a few pieces of pure gold are owned
by the English crown or any other
crown. It may interest our readers to
learn how this IRE, mercurial or water
gliding for it is known by all Of these
three names-is done. Pure gold and
mercury are mixed into d paste. The
silver article to be gilded has been
chemically cleaned, is rubbed all over
with this paste, which has been placed
In q silk bag, just as the blue used In
washing is put In bag. When the
piece Of plate has been rubbed oyer
it is perfectly white. 1t is then put
into an oven, and gradually the mer-
curry goes of in fumes, leaving on the
article a deposit Of pure gold, which
has practically become one with the
piece Of silver and win last for centu-
ries.--London Cor. New York Post.

The solder cure.

The request for a "nut to put spi-
der in to cure baby's whooping cough"
which recently startled a Somerset
shopkeeper recalls the spider cures
or the past There was, and indeed is,
for instance, that Irish belief in the
web as a remedy for cuts, warts and
bruises and that superstition Of the
eastern counties which credited it with
power to cure fevers. The weaver Of
the web, too. was looked upon as a
doctor of medicine.
A note from an ancient Notes and
Queries gives the illustration. "One OF
my parishioners suffering from ague, !"
wrote Somerset vicar, twas advised
to catch a large spider and shut him
up in box. AS he pines away the
disease is supposed to wear itself out"
A similar belief prevailed in the south
of Ireland, but there treacle had to be
substituted for the box as coffin for
the ague healer. Westminster Gazette.

STAKED HIS HEAD.
The Wager Sir William ST. Clair Laid
With King Robert Bruce.

The Wager Sir William st. Clair Laid
With King Robert Bruce.
Edwin Noble in 'sFhe Dog Lovers
Book" recalls the historic story Of the
two famous deerhounds Help ana
Hold, monument to which can be
seen to this day at Roslin chapel.
The legend is that King Robert
Bruce while hunting upon the Pent-
land hills had several times started
q white deer, but had hitherto been
unable to capture it It had always
so quickly outdistanced his own
hounds that he began to imagine that
It was gifted with supernatural pow
ers and could not be oyertaken by
mortal dogs. Naturally his mobiles
agreed with him, as there was no one
bold enough to affirm that he owned
hounds which were better than those
possessed by his sovereign.
There was, however. one exception,
William St Clair, who wagered his
head that his two favorite hounds,
Help and Hold. would kill the deer
before she crossed the Pentland brook.
Bruce accepted the challenge and wa
gered the forest Of Pentland moor
against Sir Williams head.
The white deer was reused by cou-
pie Of bloodhounds and given a fair
start before st. Clair released his two
favorites. After long chase. follow
ed by Sir william and Bruce on horse
back, the deer reached the brook, and
Sir William, feeling sure that he had
lost his wager, prepared to give him
self into the hands Of Bruce, but be-
fore the deer could get farther than
halfway across Hold had seized her,
and, Help coming up at the same mo-
ment, they forced her to turn back. In
the end she was killed within the stip-
ulated boundary.
