CLEVELAND is not talking much about pernicious activity now in Federal office holders. A few years ago it was a great bug-a-boo and_Cleveland with Pharasaical air did much talking on the subject. Since he has kept Carlisle, Hoke Smith and Controller Eckels and other Democrat office holders busy running over the country making speeches to hold Democrats in line with the administration he has maintained a profound silence. Oh how the great prophet has fallen.

THE Water Works Committee have made up their minds that people shall not waste water especially when it is somewhat scarce as at the present time. Two parties in the West part of the city were cut off Saturday night for allowing their hose to run all night. The Superintendent also has his eye open for some other parties who are reported to be letting the water run on their lawns all night. The Council] will pass an ordinance on this subject ^affixing a penalty for its violations. At present it only involves turning the water off. Other parties who turn their hydrants and faucets so that a continuous stream flows, will be looked after. There is no reason why a few people should be allowed to waste water. The supply will be short from now until July 1st probably when the new air lift pump will be placed in position. People who do not care to treat the rest of the consumers fairly, should be shut off and^not fallowed the privilege of again contracting.

THE Tribune says it answers The REPUBLICAN'S request as to naming some competent men who would act as Mayor at $300 per year, and it does not name a single man and we do not believe that it ever will. It says it has a merchant, a lawyer, mechanic, a citizen and a young business man who would accept the Mayorship at $800, but nary a man does it name. Its terms are entirely too vague. Name your men my brother and thtn the public can judge them. You have so many it will certainly be an easy matter. As to the Noblesville Mayor, Ex-mayor J. W. Smith, formerly of this county, and the present Mayor, Edgar C. Wilson are both competent business men, but we do not know what time and attention they devoted to the office. We think there the Mayor is not expected or required to devote much time to the office and is paid according. Men should be paid according to the duties and work expected and done by them. Some men are dear at $200, while others earn and receive a very much larger salary.

At the last meeting of the Noblesville city council Mayor E. C. Wilson after appointing the various committees said, in speaking to the commifcte on salaries, "I believe the clerk's salary should be ra:sed $50 to $75 on the year and incidentals mentioned his own compensation of $200 per antium. He considered the sum unusually low, but said the matter could be adjusted just as the committee thought proper.

"PERIOD" ROOMS.

Being HjDiscertatton on the Prevalent Form of Torture by Furniture.

One of the compensations of the impecunious is to watch the keen discomfort.the rich experience in their efforts to spend their fortunes. Great is the joy, therefore, of the poor woman as she watches her sister, wife of one Croesus, convert her house into a museum of "rooms of periods."

It would be saddening if it were not Infinitely comic to hear of the trials of one multimillionaire who is always keenly uncomfortable in his Greek drawing room because he can never find a book there. The Greeks, you see, did not have monthly magazines lying on their parlor tables. Accordingly the good gentleman's wife, architect and furnisher have impressed upon him the necessity of not spoiling the perfect Athenian atmosphere of the apartment by the introduction of un-Athenian features such as literature. In its zeal for complete harmony the powerful triumvirate has not yet issued an order forbidding the master of the house to enter his drawing room except when olad in the Greek chlamys, but that is because even architects, furnishers and wives do not dare to be wholly consistent. Meantime the multimillionaire escapes from his Gothic library and thinks how inappropriate it is to read Dickens under a mediaeval arched ceiling and by the light from a cathedral glass window.

Only multimillionaires, fortunately, have the wealth necessary to make themselves completely uncomfortable by Greek and Gothic rooms. But the ordinary, plain millionaire has enough money to be made fairly miserable by Louis Quinze or Louis Seize drawing rooms, old Dutch reproductions in the line of dining rooms and bare colonial hallways. Comparatively small riches will go a long way toward making a family miserable once the' 'room" fever has entered into the veins of the family's presiding genius. Good American women of mixed ancestry and heavy weight have felt exceeding discomfort in apartments furnished in spindle legged, gilt chairs belonging to the period of a French king of unhallowed memory. What does it profit a woman to furnish her room with the most perfect consistency if she herself must always be an inharmonious note in it? Why should the lover of good roast beef and large, inviting armchairs have to wander hopelessly about a room set with the straight, harp backed chairs of colonial days, when reposo was frowned upon and roast beef was none too plenty?

After all one must live more or less at home, even if one has money in abundance. And why should home be a succcssion of rooms furnished after models set by other lands and other times? Who really enjoys living in a house that is merely a large object lesson in Roman, Moorish, Japanese and Egyptian architecture and furniture? A householder ought to be more than a curator of a museum.—New York Journal.

ATOMS OF ELECTRICITY.

Calculation That Seems Incomprehensible to the Average Intelligence.

Have you any idea what "an atom of electricity" would look, feel, taste or smell like? In short, have you a mind that is capable of imagining what such an infinitesimal division of the incomprehensible "fluid" would be? We think not. The writer has spent his life "delving in the realms of the wonderful,'' yet he is free to confess that he has no more of an idea what an atom of electricity would be than he has of what is to be understood by the words "soul" and "eternity." But there are those who have been spending hours, days and weeks exploring and investigating in the bottomless ocean of electrical mysteries, and who have arrived at some startling conclusions. That such a thing as 'an atom of electricity" exists has been believed in by a number of eminent electricians and philosophers, among them the honored Helmholtz and our own Thomas A. Edison.

Working on the theories advanced by the former, Professor Richarz, a well known European invr-stigat ov, has made some experiments in that line that have startled even the electricians—men who come in daily contact with things of the most wonderful nature. According to a recent determination of Professor Richarz, the smallest possible quantity of electricity—that which may properly be termed "an atom"—is such that 430 multiplied by 1,000,000 three times— that is to say, by the cube of 1,000,000 —will give the number of atoms in a coulomb of electricity.—St. Louis Republic.

The Sudan Ruler.

The present ruler of the Sudan was sometimes spoken of as the Mahdi. Mohammed Ahmed, the Mahdi, died in June, 1885, a victim of his dissolute mode of life. He nominated as the Khalifat el Mahdi (or Malidi's successor) the Caliph Abdullah, the horrors of whose rule have been so vividly portrayed by Slatin Pasha. The caliph is a Baggara of dark chocolate colored complexion, wTith a long and prominent nose. He wears a short beard, cut according to the Moslem custom. Owing to his sensuous mode of life he is now extremely stout. He is unable to read. His palace at Obdurman is crowded with slaves, eunuchs and young boys, who wait upon kirn, and his wives number some hundreds.—New York Times.

The Malay Apple.

The ohia, or Malay apple, is a common timber tree of the Hawaiian Islands, though not peculiar to that locality. Oil the island of Maui is a mammoth orchard of wild oliias, extending from the sea to the mountains and measuring 20 miles in length by from 5 to 10 miles in width. The trees are from 40 to 50 feet in height, some of the largest yielding nearly 50 pounds of fruit, the total crop being said to be sufficient to fill a fleet of 100 steamers. The beautiful crimson or white apples, howrever, are unfit for transportation, as they last but a short time in a go^d condition.—Popular Science Monthly.

PROCE^EOINGS OF CofsiGRESS. California^ De*p Water Harbor ai* Inter* (Bating Subject in the Sensfte.

WASHINGTON, May 12.—The California" deep water harbor project was before the senate most of the day. It is 6eldom tliat a local improvement arouses so much feeling among senators, manifesting itself in a debate of unusual animation and of considerable personal feeling. Mr. Berry of Arkansas began the debate, declaring that this proposed expenditure of $3,000,000 was against the public interest and in the private interest of C. P. Huntington of the Southern Pacific. Senators Vest and Caffery took the ground that no appropriation should be made at present. Mr. Frye, chairman of the commerce committee, replied to the strictures upon the proposition and vehemently characterized the criticisms of Mr.. Huntington as "savoring of the slogan of the sand lots."

Mr. Gorman gave notice of an amendment to the pending bill directing the secretary of war to limit the contracts for river and harbor work to $10,000,000 for any one year.

The senate then turned its attention to a number of pension bills, but when Mr. Allen called for the yeas and nays on the defeat of an amendment, Mr. Gallinger, chairman of the pension committee, moved an adjournment as a quorum was not present, and at 5:32 p. m. the senate adjourned.

House Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, May 12.—The session of the house yesterday was almost entirely devoted to the consideration of District of Columbia business. Bills were passed to authorize the secretary of the treasury to detail revenue cutters to enforce regulations at regattas to grant the Denver, Cripple Creek and Southwestern railroad aright of way through the South Platte and Plum Creeb forest reservations to grant pipe lines right of way over the public domain in Colorado and Montana to grant the Flagstaff and Canyon railroads right of way through the Grand canyon, and to extend the charter of the Dennison and Northern railroad. A preliminary conference report on the Indian appropriation bill was agreed to and the title of Mr, Maddox of Georgia to his seat was confirmed.

EXCURSION TRAIN WRECKED.

One Child Killed and About Forty l'eople Injured. SANANNAH, May 12.—An excursion

train from Jacksonville, on the Florida Central and Peninsular railroad jumped the track at Anderson, five miles from this city yesterday afternoon. The tender was first derailed, dragging the three coaches and baggage and mail cur with it. There were about 150 passengers on the train, about 40 of whom were more or less injured. The greater number were bruised or slightly cut.

A young child of Mrs. F. Nuthans of Brunswick was killed. Those most seriously hurt were:

Rev. W. P. Guion, assistant rector of Trinity Episcopal church, New Orleans, right ear severed.

E. L. Greer, Lake City, Fla., arm broken and shoulder sprained. J. D. Whito of Brunswick, bruised and internally injured.

C. M. Fryer of Lafayette county, Fla., hurt about head. C. A. Shaw of Brunswick, finger and arm broken and badly bruised.

Charles Douglass Arnold of Springfield, Ills., head and arm injured. E. P. Poppell of Barrington, Ga., internal injuries.

Mrs. Patterson of Ridgeland, Fla., ribs crushed. J. J. Trimble, Tampa, Fla., leg crushed.

These and several others seriously bruised or otherwise hurt were brought to Savannah and taken to hospitals or homes of friends.

Fear of Typhoid Fever.

PORTLAND, Ind., May 12.—Despondent over having moved into a house where there had been an epidemic of typhoM fever, Mrs. John Bradley took a dose of carbolic acid yesterday morning. Physicians responded promptly and her life was saved.

CUISINE SECRETS.

TRICKS OF THE COOKS AND THE MARKETMEN OF PARIS.

Connterfeit Bubbles on Bouillon, Artificial Ham Bones, Stamped Cocks' Combs and Tarnished Turkey l*egs Are Some of the

Parisian Deceptions.

We often hear people who have paid 25 minute visits to Paris talk of the beauties of Parisian cuisine. Here are a few of them. Just as the Parisians, like the cockney coffeehouse keepers, have found out how to make coffee without coffee, so have also the Parisian restaurateurs found out how to make bouillon, or beef tea, without beef. At the gargotes, the lowest class of Paris restaurants, a species of very ingenious fraud has now been common for over half a century and maybe more. It consists in passing off warm water, colored and flavored with burned onions and caramel and into which some little grease bubbles have been injected, as soup. It is true that bones which have been twice stewed, first by the larger restaurants and secondly by the inferior class of traiteuxa and cast away as done with, are stewed in this water for the third time, in order that it may be impregnated, if possible, with some particle of animal substance but, as this operation fails to impart to it those little greasy bubbles which the French term eyes," and for which the shrewd frequenters of these establishments invariably look in order to satisfy themselves that the broth they drink has been actually made from meat, a clever cook got over the difficulty by blowing a spoonful of fish oil, which, falling into the caldron or soup tureen, formed the eyes so dear to epicures.

Parisians of a certain class are inordinate eaters of ham—in fact, almost as many hams are eaten in Paris as could be furnished by all the pigs killed throughout the wholo of France, even allowing for both shoulder and leg being cured in accordance with French practice. Tho demand used—and may be now—to be supplied in this wise. The dealers in cooked hams bought up the old ham bones at a couple of sous a piece and ingeniously inserted them into pieces of picked pork, which they trimmed into shape and coated with grated crusts. In this way many bones did duty hundreds of times over, lasting, in fact, for years. They would leave the dealers in the morning and frequently return to them tho same night, to quit them again the following day. Nevertheless the supply could hardly keep pace with the demand. Only fimcy the inconvenience of having to wait for your ham until your neighbor's servant took back the ham bone which tho charcutier relied upon receiving yesterday! It was to obviate such a statu of things that an ingenious individual conceived tho idea of manufacturing ham bones wholesale, and ero long he drove a thriving trade at 10 sous a dozen, since which time the stock of hams has augmented and the delicacy has become less difficult of attainment. Much in the same way another ingenious individual, knowing the immense consumption of cocks' combs in Paris for ragouts, coquilles of cocks' combs and vol-au-vents and seeing tho high prices the said cocks' combs commanded owiug to the limited supply, set to work to minister to tho demand and duly established himself as a manufacturer of cocks' combs. So extensive was the trade done by him that he found it necessary to set up a small steam engine. He was a great enthusiast and was accustomed to pride himself upon the artificial cocks' combs which emanated from his atelier being greatly superior to the natural article.

This is the way our artist went to work. As the same method is largely worked at this day in London as well as in Paris—ay, and in New York and New Orleans—we purposely use tho present tense for a time. He takes the palate of a bullock, cow, calf, sheep rr goat—either will do, though he prefers the first. After having blanched it in boiling water he macerates it and detaches the flesh of the palatic vault without in the slightest degree deranging it and then places it under a stamping machine, which punches out cocks' combs more perfect in shape than those produced by nature, yet sufficiently resembling them to deceive the connoisseurs. Still, there is a way of detecting the artificial production—the cocks' combs of clumsy natuie have papilla^ both sides, whereas those of art hi.ve them only on one. Counterfeit cocks' combs are sold as low as 4 sous the dozen in Paris to poulterers', keepers of restauiants, pastrycooks, etc., and at sous to cooks in private families.

Apropos of our subject, this man, in his intercourse with poulterers, got to learn that when they did not sell their turkeys off at once they were obliged to lower the price about one-fifth every subsequent day or submit to a loss, although the turkey might present the same appearance of freshness that it .1 when first killed. And yet no cook could t^o deceived, and this solely because bird's legs, which were black and shiny on the day of its death, assumed a more and more grayish tone as time went on. This was quite sufficient for our man of genius. Tho shrewd manufacturer of cocks' combs hastened home and set to work to compound a varnish which should defy the attacks of time and render turkeys' legs ever fresh and youthful. In a couple of days he returned triumphant to the market anil furnished the best proof of his success by deceiving the dealers themselves. Trials were next made upon the public, and turkeys with varnished legs were offered to the cunningest cooks, who, deceived by appearances, made their purchases without, demanding the customary abatement, ::nd the conservation of tho brilliant luster of turkeys' legs became from that time forward a regular trade, which certainly says little for the honesty of the poulterers, less for the judgment of the cooks, and least of all l'r tho assumed delicacy of taste of the Parisian gourmets.—London Globe.

TEETH MAKE MANY ILLS.

The Evils Which F&llow Imperfect Mastication May Be Avoided.

"It would take too long to enumerate the many ills Which may spring from imperfect teeth," said Dr. Derby. ''Of course one who has good teeth knows their value, but not enough people know what to do to keep them always in proper condition. Neither can you tell one just what is necessary at all times. The removal of all foreign susbtances from any contact with the dentine is of course the primary necessity in considering the preservation of the teeth.

One of the first reasons why one should have perfect teeth is the influence they exert over the digestion. To secure proper assimilation the process of mastication should be thorough. Nothing less will accomplish the results intended. If this process is incomplete, ail the attendant evils of indigestion are likely to follow. Thus the question of health is interposed as a primary one. Freedom from aches and pains and appearance take secondary places. "Of the many forms of neuralgia which oause such excruciating suffering a great many owe their existence entirely to the presenee of faulty teeth. They can be remedied only by the proper treatment of the diseased roots. When this is done, a number of nervous disorders respond readily to the ordinary medical treatment. Toothache, pure and simple, must be considered as an attendant of improperly cared for teeth. It is an old saying that the man who finds an absolute remedy for and preventive of toothache will make a Lig fortune, "Of course the primary instruction to one who is suffering from bad teeth is to see a dentist. The exposed surface of the teeth, the enamel, must be kept perfect and whole. Any breaks in it must be immediately reparied and any wearing away or decaying of the structure must be built up if one expects to secure all tho perfect results for which the teeth were designed by nature. Constant brushing and cleaning and any good nonacid wash will do much to keep the teeth in good repair. "Of course you know the story of the man who, when his teeth were admired, gave the following reasons for their perfect condition: I always brush them, night and morning and after eating, and leave them in a glass of salt water while I am asleep.''—San Francisco Examiner.

HE SNEEZED A BULLET.

Peculiar Expsricnce of a Man Who Was Wounded In the Civil War.

Colonel Sidney Cooke of Herrington, Kan., one of the managers of the National Soldiers' home, tells of a peculiar experience in the army during the civil war. At the outbreak of the war he was a strapping New England boy, with strength and vitality which stood him well during his army life.

After taking part in several engagements Colonel Cooke was shot in the head and left on tho battlefield as dead. The Federals retreated from the field and the Confederates soon occupied it. Colonel Cooke, who was then a private, was aroused to consciousness by some one tugging at his boots. The boots were very fine and the pride of his boyish heart, having been given to him by the dear ones at home. "Ain't you dead, Yank?" asked the Confederate as lie ceased tugging to remove the boots from the feet of the wounded bey.

On being assured that Cooke was not dead a compromise was effected. The Confederate brought the Union soldier some water and carried him to a Confederate surgeon. In return he secured the coveted boots.

Cooke had along convalescence and finally recovered sufficiently to be sent to Andersonville prison, where he suffered, in addition to the privations of prison life, great pain from his wound. This suffering continued even after his release and his discharge from the army at the close of the war.

One day, long after the war was over, Colonel Corke, who had settled in Kansas, was seized with a violent spell of sneezing. Just in the midst of it tho bullet was expelled from his nose.—Chicago Record.

Reading tho Newspaper.

"What a newspaper reading people we are!" said Mr. Gozlim. "It seems as though everybody reads newspapers. In an elevated car the other day I saw a little child less than a year old which was reading a newspaper, or which seemed Le. The father had been reading the paper really, but the baby, sitting on its father's knee, had clutched at it, and finally the father placed it in the child's little hands, and it sat there, holding the paper in front of itself, and looking at it soberlj', and now* and then looking up at its father, and all this so pleased a gentleman with a gray mustache, who sat opposite, that when he got up to go out he chucked tho baby geutljr under the chin and smiled at it as he passed. "—New York Sun.

A Taking Title.

Your play is good enough, said the veteran manager after he had read it through, "but it needs abetter title than 'Sticketh Closer Than a Brother.' With such a name as that it won't draw." "How would 'The Mustard Plaster' do?" suggested the struggling artist anxiously. —London Tit-Bits.

They Disagreed.

Langley—Don't you think Jack treats things altogether too seriously? Sea her—i.ot muchl He took that $5 bill I was kind enough to loan him last month and has treated it as a joke over since.—Detroit Free Press.

Stop not, unthinking, every friend you meet, to spin your wordy fabric in the street. Whilo you are emptying your colloquial pack the fiend lumbago jumps upon your back.—O. W. Holmes.

Men are so constituted that everybody undertakes what he sees another successful in, whether he has aptitude for it or not.—Uoethe. ,l '7
