A Topeka man died from the effect* of drinking too much lee water.

The quarrel over pronouncing it has begun, some saying It Is KloneVke. Having brought suit for divorce, nothing remains for Mr. Langtry but JO go on the stage. That experienced gold hunter, Marcus Aurelius Hanna, at last accounts ras prospecting in Ohio fields.

After all it remained for a Chicago policeman to correspond clandestinely with a married woman and "remain, respectfully yours/’

President McKinley reviewed some troops at PlaUsburg, but as he had Just escaped from reviewing a wuole array of patriots in Washington he was not deeply moved.

Half of the aldermen of Virginia, 111., have resigned and left the city, and there's no telling where the others Will pull up and go. No wonder the Virginia people are happy.

Dr. Reynolds, city health commissioner, is about to search Chicago laundries for microbes. The good doctor should keep a firm grasp on his buttons while in the presence of the steam mangiers.

That fellow with a wooden leg who Is going to the Klondike gold fields is better off than most of the others, as the transportation companies can pull only one, and he can burn the other and keep from freezing to death right off. The admonition, “Look before you leap,” has a special significance in the swimming season. There are two kinds of accidentns that should never oicur, namely, loss of life through a person unable to swim jumping into deep water, and loss of life through a swimmer diving into shallow water. A writer has formulated a rule whereof the observance would spare many lives. It is, Re sure of the water before you dive or leap into it.”

Following the precedent set by Rrown University, whose trustees hold that the president of a university should submit his views to the corporation for revision before publication, the state school book commission of Kansas is carefully eliminating errors in finance from the text books and supplying their places by truth as seen by the Demcc'ats. Hereafter it will be the proper thing for each state to revise its text books immediately after the fall elections. What is said to be the greatest oil discovery ever made is reported from Alaska. Some gold prospectors several months ago ran across what seemed to be a lake of oil. The lake was fed by Innumerable springs, and the surrounding mountains were full of coal. They brought samples to Seattle, and tests proved it to be of as high grade as any ever taken out of Pennsylvania wells. A local company was formed and experts sent up. They have returned on the steamer Topeka and their report has more than borne out first reports. It is said there is enough oil and coal in the discovery to supply the world. It is close to the ocean, in fact the experts say that the oil oozes out into the salt water. It is said that the Standard Oil company has already made an offer for the property. The owners have filed on 8,000 acres, and are naturally very much excited over their prospects for fortune.

CHIMMIE AND HIS PAL. How They Stole a Kldc on riaukft and Came to Orief. “Say, Chlmmie?” ■'Yep.” “D'ye see anything a-comin’?” "Yep. I>ey's a brewery wagon cuttin’ de corner now." The two youngsters loafed on the corner of 19th street and Cass avenue, evidently waiting for .something to turn np, says the St. I^ouis Republic Hack of them, leaning against the wall, were two narrow planks about two feet long, which the kids apparently had no interest in. The two planks, nevertheless, were at that moment the most cherished possessions of the youngsters and they only needed the assistance of a wagon, preferably a brewery wagon, to be transferred into two of the most unique summer toboggans in the list of juvenile ve-

hicles.

When the beer wagon reached a point opposite the young patchers they were much interested in some affair up the street, but the instant the driver’s back was facing them each youngster seized his plank and attached one end onto the hind axle of the wagon, the other end dragging on the ground, and perched in the middle of the plank, grinning at each other and making faces at the gathered envious youngsters on the curbing, the two small kids were enjoying a ride up Cass av-

enue.

“Gee, dis is great,” said Chimmie's companion, as the wagon veered south at Twentieth street to cross the tracks. "Look out. you’s," said Chimmie, heking his dirty little legs under the plank in anticipation of a jar when the wheels passed over the track. The jar came, the heavy wagon struck the track, there was a bounce of the hind axle, the nail in the end of Chimmie's plank gave way and kerplunk. down came the board square or. Chimmie's little toes. A small yell caused the driver to look around, but he only saw two fleeing youngsters disappearing up the alley. One ran with a limp. Behind the shadow of a garbage barrel in the secluded alley Chimmie and his pal stopped to examine the wound. Chimmie's great toe, he cills it his stem per, showed signs of violence. The nail was just hanging. A moment of indecision and the pal reached for the hanging nail and gave a jerk. Again Chimmie yelled and then he claimed the prize.

THEATRICAL TOPICS.

“American Iron In Europe” is the subject of several reports from United States consuls, published by the department of state. Mr. George F. Parker, consul at Birmirgham. England, writes that for six months or more steel has been imported from the United States into Wales for use in the tin plate trade, and that in January 1,000 tons of steel billets were ahipped from Philadelphia for delivery in Birmingham. Editorial articles in the Birmingham Post discuss the conditions which make the importation of American steel possible. Among these conditions are the facts that in England for some time prices of iron and steel have been steadily rising under the influence of improved demand, and that in the United States they have been falling, due to the commercial depression. There is nothing new. says the Post, in the importation of American pig iron, which can be produced now at prices with which England and Scotch smelters cannot pretend to compete. American pig iron has lately been introduced into the Triest (Austrian) market, according to a report from Mr. J. O. Haggard. the British consul at that port, at prices with which British iron cannot compete.

THE CHIN AS AN INDEX. <'nii You T«*ll a l'vr§oii*« Character by the Shape of liin Lower Jaw? A writer in the St. Louis "Clinique,” writing of the chin as an index of character, says: "Protruding chins characterize men and women of the getthere type. Successful people usually carry their chins thrust forward, with compressed lips. This chin, if heavy, with broad rami and swelling masseters, indicates fighting blood. A retreating chin shows lack of force, mentally, morally and physically; usuail} of the yielding sort; soon discouraged; desires protection; small executive force. The development of other faculties often makes up for this defect. A small, well-rounded chin, with mobile and red cushion of flesh upon indicates a pleasure-loving owner. If dimpled, all the more so, for dimpled chins belong to coquettes. People with dimples love to be petted and loved; like admiration and praise. Generally fickle. Usually this chin is healthy, recuperative and long-lived. Broad chins signify nobleness and large dignity, unless vertically thin, when, if with it tlure be thin lips of bloodless kind, you find cruelty. Square chins with little flesh denote firmness and executive ability. These make good haters. Urunkards usually have a circular line about their chins. Slovens have wrinkles about thair chins. Long, thin chins are poetical, unstable and delicate in constitution. Such people are sulject to bowel derangements. If thin through the angles of the month, too, they are prone to tuberculosis. Generally short-lived. Medium chins, with a suggestive bifurcation in the centre, with small mounds of flesh on either side, characterize generosity, impulsiveness, cheery natures. (The same sized chins, with a dab of flesh just under the center of the lower Up, indicate meanness, selfishness, brutality.) No one feature can be taken in judging charge er. Often development of other faculties of mind or feature entirely governs, in each case take the ‘totality of indications’ before judging.”

SAYINGS AND DOINGS OF THE PLAYERFOLK. Julia Arthur In Quite Snnguine of Suoreftn in “A Litdy of Quality** — Lh Seala ]\lay He C losecl—An American I’ro-

tllgy.

I LIA ARTHUR, is very sanguine regarding her success in “A Lady of Quail ty.” “The play,” says Miss Arthur, "will follow on the lines of the book, it will open with the birthday s u pper, Clorinda's 16th birthday, and her last appearance in boy's clothes. My costumes will all be of the sixteenth and seventeenth century brocades and satins. I like boy’s clothes, and am not at all afraid of them, especially when they may be as prettily fashioned as Clorinda's. I shall wear the long satin coat, knee breeches and silk hose, and strut about and talk as much slang as Mrs. Burnett's heroine ought to. You must remember she was brought up in the stable among the horses and the dogs. Physically and mentally she should sh,ow strength of an unusual sort. But of my conception of the heroine I can tell you more after I have seen Mrs. Burnett. Although 1 know' what 1 think of her, I shall be glad to receive any suggestions she may offer.” It has been many years since a tragic play dealing with modern conditions has b— so successful in New York as to achieve a run. The success last season of "Tess of the D’Urbervilles” was marveled at for this reason, yet that success is easily explained. Hardy's great story, from which the play was made, fascinates the reader because it seems to deal with men and women of flesh and blood, and underlying their movements and pointed by the climax is the eternal problem of the sexes. The art of the play, like the art of

The box owners de- I rive most of the advantages from this, and the city had demanded of them some contribution toward the amount. | All efforts to get them to contribute have failed and the city has commeneed a suit against them, which it will probably take three years or more to decide. It is said now that the opera house will have to remain closed next winter, and this will necessitate the closing of the theater’s ballet school, in which the best-known dancers of

Italy are taught.

SCIENTIFIC TOPICS. CURRENT NOTES OF DISCOVERY AND INVENTION.

Miss Augusta Cottiow. the American musical prodigy, will soon return from Europe to her home in Shelbyville, 111. Miss Cottiow is said to be one of the foremost musicians in the world. Although not yet out of her studies, she has managed to amaze and delight the leading musicians of Europe with her superb performances on the piano. For the past two years she has been studying under Herr Tappert and Prof. Busoni. The latter, when asked by Miss Cottiow for the amount of his charges, replied: "Gussie, there can be no talk of business between artists. You are an artist. Your music delights me. if I can be of any help to you in your career 1 shall do all in ray power for you. You may take my aid as a courtesy from an older artist to a younger one.” Miss Cottiow began her musical studies at 3 years of age. At 5 she made her debut in public. From that time she was in demand. At 9 she was placed in charge of Prof. Wolfsohn, of Chicago, and began her study in harmony and counterpoint under Prof. Gleason. She plays the most difficult music from memory. She won New York musicians with her performances of Beethoven's concerto in C, which she played with the Thomas orchestra three years ago. She has lately turned her mind to composition. Her first piece, “A Romanza" for violin and piano, was bought and published in Germany. Miss Cottiow is undoubtedly the ablest pianist ever produced in America. Miss Mary Carrington, a young ano

(•reittl.v Disappointed. In England, says the Boston Transcript, all Episcopalian bishops are alluded to as lord bishops. If Bishop Lawrenoe were to preach in one of the Ixindon churches the Sunday service column of the papers would announce, “Sermon by the Lord Bishop of Massachusetts.” The story goes that a Dakota man in London, reading in the Saturday Times that the sermon at St. Paul's on the morrow would be preached by “the Lord Bishop of North Dakota," exclaimed, in the breezy language of his home, “Thunder and lightning! What is a Lord Bishop of North Dakota?" and made up his mind to attend. On returning to his hotel at noon he explained to his friends that “the Lord Bishop of North Dakota” was nobody but "long Will Walker, who used to run a church down at Deadwood.”

the story, imposes the vital topic without seeming to do so, through the acts and accidents of really human beings that strongly grip the emotions and play upon the sympathies. The characters are not mere lay figures, and. therefore, the play seems an abstract of life itself. As "Tess of the D’Urbervilles" was the dramatic sensation of last season in New York, so it will be of the coming season in the cities fortunate enough to see it in the hands of Mrs. Fiske and her company. There is apprehension that Milan’s "La Scala,” the most famous home of opera and ballet in the world, will lie closed for a considerable time. The first performance in the present theater took place on December 26, 1778. The

MISS AUGUSTA COTTLOW. Douse does not belong entirely to the city of Milan, and the impresario who rents it has control only of the parquet seats and the galleries. The boxes are owned by the rich families of Milan. The visitors to the theater pay for admittance, and an additional sum, which varies in accordance with the position of the seats. The box holders have to pay merely for admittance for every person, and nothing extra for their seats. The impresario's profits are, of course very much diminished

Bleaching ■ a, , N important Imy V— 1 provement in the - A ; / >_ j process of bleaching, has been brought forward by A. Endler, the manager of a print works at Mulhouse, by means of which there is produced a clear white in cotton without any deterioration of the fibre. The material to be bleached is treated in a starching machine with a lye to which bisulphite of loda and an alkaline chloride have been added, and the goods are then mbjected to a very heavy pressure; ironi this stiffening machine they arc .ransferred to a steaming apparatus, in which they remain some thirty to sixty minutes, according to the nature of the goods, and this treatment in the steaming apparatus may he continuous, in :he usual manner. The other operations of the bleaching process are of the ordinary kind. The addition of the ilkaline chloride to the lye promotes iolution of the gummy matter and capsules in the fibre; and the composition Df the alkaline lye and chloride solution may be varied according to the kind of material in hand and the bleach desired. Mounting Photograph* on It is frequently the case that one may desire to mount photographs upon glass. This is very easily done, but one or two points should be very carefully observed. Do not attempt to mount a photograph on cheap glass. The effect will not be satisfactory. Select a good plate, clean it thoroughly and place it where it will rest steadily under a considerable pressure. Soak four ounces of gelatine for half an hour in cold water, then place in a glass jar. adding sixteen ounces of water; put the jar in a large dish of warm water and dissolve the gelatine. When dissolved pour in a shallow tray. Have the prints rolled on a roller, albumen side up; take the print by the corners and pass rapidly through the gelatine, taking care to avoid air hubbies. Squeeze carefully on to the glass. The better the quality of glass the better the effect.

pretty singer who is rapidly winning her way to a forward position on the operatic stage, is one of the prima donnas of the Grau Opera Company. Miss Carrington is a native of Chicago. Her mother a few years ago was a noted church and oratorio singer, and the daughter inherited her vocal power. Mrs. Carrington's voice was a superb contralto, and Miss Carrington's voice is a no less superb soprano. As a child Miss Carrington gave unmistakable evidences of musical genius, and ! her parents, who were wealthy, sent : her abroad for study. She spent four years in Paris under the instruction of M. Delle Sedie, and won unstinted praise from that master for her rapid progress and thorough understanding of her art. At Paris she sang in public, and recaived marked encouragement from the critics there. Miss Carrington was preparing for a London debut when she was recalled - to her home by reverses of fortune, which haired her way to higher triumphs. Since she has been in America Miss Carrington has been allied with several operatic enterprises, and opportunities have been ever widening for her. She spent a season with Daly's Geisha Company studying the stage aspect of her art. Miss Carrington will leave for New Orleans on Sunday. The performance of “Parsifal,” which will take place at the Beyreuth theater on Aug. 19, will make the one hundredth performance of the work which the admirers of Wagner consider his masterpiece. According to the last wishes of Wagner, "Parsifal” could only be played at Beyreuth. Julia Marlowe and her husband, Robert Taber, are spending the summer resting in the beautiful old French town of Gervigny. Mrs. Taber will return early in September to begin her annual tour. It is said she will add another new play to her repertoire.

Maliiiie Combimtibles. A writer in I.'Industrie describes a simple process devised by the chemist ifelna, namely, that of using petroleum or mineral tar only for enriching culm and other inferior and formerly worthless combustibles, and from this material producing briquettes, the heating power of which is represented to lie 30 per cent higher than that of good coal. In this process a mixture is first prepared consisting of petroleum or bituminous shale tar, oleine and soda, in suitable proportions, by this means the culm, slack, or coal dust being cemented together. Three kinds of briquettes are produced in this way, those known as indusrial briquettes for the manufacture of illuminating gas. and metallurgical coke. It is well known that brown coal has heretofore been the principal resort for the making of briquettes; later, however, experiments with briquettes of solidified petroleum or residuum have been made, as a presumable improvement—these failing to result satisfactorily, at least in the case of boilers, which were unable to withstand the intense heat developed by such fuel. Tlila Look* Your i’o»t and Hat. Sneak thieves who have been harvesting hats, coats and umbrellas from hooks in restaurants, barber shops and other places will find something to thwart them in an invention just patented by a north side barber. The device is a combination hat, coat and umbrella hanger, which locks securely apparel placed in it which foils any

the new hooks on the wall, places hat, coat and umbrella in it. brings down the upper arm. withdraws the key, which then goes into the vest pocket, and proceeds to eat. After the meal the key is used to release the apparel. The mistake of keeping the key cannot be made, for after withdrawing the apparel the lock retains the key. Flre-rroof Huililinc Material. A Boston inventor has put out a nrw building material which is said to he absolutely fire-proof. It is made of ground marble or stone, coal cinders and sawdust mixed with magnesia and some chemicals, the names of which have not been made public, and as the secret is guarded with jealous care, they are not likely to be. The material is ground to a semi-liquid consistency and is then poured into molds. There is no burning, as the hardening process is a chemical one. There are also fire-proofing blocks and bricks made of coal cinders, sawdust and other materials. These bricks weigh about IVi or two-thirds as much as those of terra cotta of the same size and cost but about half as much. Ffleet of I ncandrtteent Llghtson Kye.l*l*t The mantle of the Auer incandescent light is made of a network of rare oxides. These, on being heated in the Bunsen flame, emit a brilliant white light. It is claimed that no injury to the optic nerve has as yet been caused by this system of lighting. It has, however, been asserted that the ordinary electric light is exceedingly trying to the eyes, but when covered by a globe, through which the rays must pass, there is less chance of injury. Red or orange globes are thought to be the best, and these, if properly adjusted, are considered a perfect safeguard. How tho Earth Is Held. A pretty experiment, conducted by very simple methods, will show how this terrestrial globe is kept in its position in space. Secure two magnets of equal power, placing them an inch or two apart. Then make a small ball of paper or other light material, fastening on opposite sides bits of steel or similar metal. Place the hall between the magnets, where it will assume of its own accord a fixed position, held

only by the attraction of the magnets, which act on it as do the surrounding planets on the earth. Cast-\Yelded Joints. In a paper before the convention of the American Street Railway Association at St. Louis, Superintendent W. K. Bowen of the Chicago City road recently gave some decisive data showing the value of cast-welded joints. From this statement it appears that of the 17,000 cast-welded joints made on his road in 1895, only 154 were lost, and these breakages were due to flaws in the metal, comparative tests having shown the joint to be actually far stronger than the rail itself. These joints are made in a simple manner. After the rail ends have been scraped or filed off so as to present a bright surface, a cast iron mould is placed around the joint, the fit being made so exact as to prevent the escape of any metal from the mould; the metal i. then poured in. and the outer part of the casting being chilled by the mould, sets first, forming a crust which retains the molten metal. As this crust contracts faster than the interior, the latter is forced up against the rails and a more perfect contact is insured; the operation results, in a word, in a joint that is solid and continuous.

WORDS OF WISDOM, The credit that is got by a lie onli lasts until the truth comes out. * Tbi Iking well is wise; planning well, wiser; doing well,wisest and best of all. The bitterest medicine is sweet to hoy if he thinks his younger brotke! wants it. A man that can he flattered is not necessarily a fool, but you can make one of him. A laugh, to be joyous, must flow from a joyous heart, for without kindness there can be no true joy. Only the wise can profit by the experience of others. A fool has to find out for himself what fire is. There is nothing so sweet as d a t T and all the best pleasures of life come in the wake of duties done. Before you lose your soul in trying to gain wealth, ask the millionaire how much gold it takes to make one rich. The failures of life come from resting in good intentions, which are in vain unless carried out in wise action. Only the brave knowhow to forgive! it is the most refined and generous pitch of virtue human nature can arrive at. The most exquisite times in most people’s lives are those when they are | (perhaps unconsciously) expecting something. If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest. Absence lessens small passions and increases great ones—as the wind extinguishes the taper and kindles the burning dwelling. It is not by turning over libraries, hut by repeatedly perusing and intently contemplating a few great models, that the mind is best disciplined. The constant duty of every man to his fellows is to ascertain his own powers and special gifts; and to strengthen them for the help of others. Tact is a gift; it is likewise a grace. As a gift, it may, or may not have fallen to our share; us a grace, we are hound either to possess or to acquire it. The world owes a debt unpayable of reverence and gratitude for the obscure fidelity, and unchronicled sacrifice, the silent and steady toil which has no other inducement than a sense of duty and the reward of an approving conscience.

attempt of a sneak thief to purloin the hat, coat or umbrella of another without breaking the hook and attracting attention. * After a hat and coat have been hung on the lower arm of the device and the umbrella placed in its place the upper arm is brought down on the hat and coat, this movement also fastening the umbrella, and then the key is withdrawn. Each lock has a key of its own and no mistake can be made in taking another's clothing. This latter mistake is of frequent occurrence in public places, and it is thought by the inventor he has solved the problem by preventing such mistakes In a restaurant where the new device is on trial one picks out one of

New Kytteni of Oil Lighting. Experiments are being tried with a system of oil lighting that suggests the use of the student lamp on a large scale. There is a central reservoir and small pipes through which the oil is fed to the burners, drop by drop. There is an automatic system of cut-offs that prevent any waste or leakage and insure a steady and continuous supply whether there are many burners or few. It seems that the only inconvenience to this system is that all of the pipes must be of the same level in order to avoid the leak that would be inevitable were the oil to accumulate in perpendicular tubes.

Value Of Sugar in Mtmrulur Effort. Dersons who take violent muscular exercise, are greatly benefited by the use of sugar or pure candies. Tourists who climb high altitudes crave sweet, and are greatly benefited by it. The value of sugar as a part of the diet of soldiers has been clearly determined. it is said that after violent muscular exertion the quantity ot sugar in the blood is greatly reduced, but that energy is rapidly regained by eating pure candy or other good sweets. An* X Hu yh DangprotiM ? A number of persons who have been experimented on with the X rays, dodare that they cause exceedingly’ V ju. lent palpitation of the heart, which after a short time becomes intolerable. The uses of these rays are so many that it is important to know that the interposition of a metal plate is a very great advantage, and prevents much „f the distress which the uninterrupted rays are likely to cause.

Tin* Sen in riameg. When, n few years ago, some of the Russian grand dukes honored Baku, » towu on tbi) Caspian, with their presence, the governor had naphtha thinly poured over the surface of the sea for a very considerable distance. About 9 o’clock in the evening the inflammatory substance was ignited and a bluish conflagration spread itself over the waves of the mighty deep. To increase the splendor of the scene a slight breeze arose, the sea became agitated anil the billows m.ijestically heaved without any too violent commotion. Such a matrimonial alliance, if T may use the term, of fire and water, was perhaps never before witnessed. The flames literally danced on the waves, blending all their magic beauty with the splhshing restlessness of the limpid antagonist. The dark green color of the Caspian shone by the reflection of the subdued light riding bodily on the very foam of the surface. At length the gale increased, the naphtha covering became more and more broken and the glowing carpet extended over a great distance of the sea, gradually assuming the aspect of so many jack-o’-lauterus. A mazy ballet of gradually extinguishing will-o'-the-wisps closed the wonderful spectacle. One hour iifb-r its commencement the watery element had resumed its sway, and the sea again lay enveloped in darkness.- Atlanta Constitution. How to Know tt Boom i* Damp. To ascertain whether or not a room is damp, a kilogramme of fresh lime should he placed therein, after hermetically closing door and windows. In twenty-four hours it should he weighed, and if the kilogramme has absorbed more than ten grammes of water (that is, more than one per cent.), the room should he considered damp and classed as unhealthy. The question of the dampness of dwellings is a frequent cause of dispute between landlord and tenant, and is naturally solved in the negative by the former. The question can be settled in the future by the test of the hydration of lime, which will give irrefutable pr f of tlie validity of such complaint — New York Dietetic and Hygienic Ga* zotto.
