—Much has been said and written about making tea, and every housewife has her own ideas in regard to it. Green tea should not be allowed to boil; the boiling?'wa.her should be poured on it, covering tightly, and set it back upon the stove to stand about five minutes; fill your teapot, or put all the water upon it necessagy’ to serve at the table. Bfack tea should be boiled very quickly, not'more than two minutes; g]l up with boiling water and serve at once. In this way you save all the aroma. I think all teas should be made as “?uickly as possible. Your water should always be boiling hot. In making en teas earthen teapots are consideregr:he most healthful. — Cor. Detroit Post.

INDIANA STATE NEWS. AT Bloomington on the 27th, Frank Berk: man struck Ed Albertson on the head with a spoke, causing a fracture of the skull. Ak bertson was fatally hurt. - C. A. REAM, the railroad agent at Bunker Hill, is reported to have absconded with not over $lOO of the company’s money. - THERE seems to be some likelihood of a dispute bétween several of the State officers as to the right of occupation of the addition to the State offices just completed. The law under which the building was authorized evidently contemplated that the new erection should be uniform with the existing offices of the Auditor, Attorney General and Governor, and it distinctly provided that the second floor should be occupied by the Supreme Court Judges and officials. Finding, however, that a three-story building could be put up for an amount within the appropriation, and that additional office accommodatior might be provided by making the roomssome what lower than contemplated and setting the first floor level with the ground, the State officers determined upon the plan which has now been carried into execution. They alsc proceeded to allot certain rooms to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and others to the State House Board, the Adjutant General and the State Auditor, thus filling up the first and second floors, while the third floor was intended for the use of the Supreme Court Judges. To thisarrangement objection is now taken, and the Supreme Court officials are likely to claim the use of the second floor and all above. The Auditor objects, but the Indianapolis Journal thinks he may be overruled. . F. PiercE HARBACH, aged twenty-eight, 4 paper-hanger employed in Perkins’ store, at Evansville, committed suicide qn the evening of the 28th.

The determined man acknowledged that he had shot himself, and gave his consent that his friend go for a physician. While the friend was absent Harbach put the pistol to his temple and completed the job. Depressed spirits and disappoirted love are credited as the cause.

He stumbled into the house, shrieking with agony, and crowded his way through the room among the horrified guests, who were completely paralyzed by the spettacle. He called loudly for his sister, saying that he was killed. At each step the blood spurted from the ugly wounds and over the clothes of the guests. The injured man dropped upon a bed, apparently dying. A perfect panic prevailed, and the sister of the wounded man fainted. .

Sudden Death of Senator Zachariah ¢ Chandler. » United States Senator Zachariah Chandler was found dead in his bed at the Grand Pacific Hotel in Chicago, on the morning of the Ist. He arrived in Chicagb the previous morning from Wisconsin, where he had been makin campmfn political speeches, and adgdressed a large assemblage of people at McCormicg( Hall the night of Eis death. The Chicago Tribune of the morning of the 2d gives the following account of the discovery of the Senator’s death and the statement of Mr, |

Spalding, an intimate friend of the deceased, as to what had occurred in Mr. Chandler’s experience during the two days precedinfi' his sudden and entirely unexpected death: Mr. Joseph Smith, the hotel tpm'ter., who had been the first to discover the fact of the Senator’s sudden death, stated that at seven o’clock in the moming Mr. Gardner requested him to go to Room No. 5 and wake the gentleman sleeping therein. He had no idea who the person was, and was quite unprepared for the terrible surprise which was in store for him. Having gained the door of the room, he knocked at it, but received no response. He knocked a%ain, but still there was no answer. Thinking that the man inside was -a remarkably heavg sleeper, he knocked a third time, very loudly, but only perfect silence prevailed in the room. i . He then began to have misg-ivin%s, and, finding that the key had not been placed in the door by its occupant (Mr. Chandler had gone to his bedroom by way of the Earlor), he took the office key which he had with him, and ogened the door. When he entered he found the Senatorhalf-sitting,half-lying upon the bed, his legs hanging over the side, the right foot on the ground, and the left foot raised a foot or so above it. He shook slightly what he considered to be the sleeping figure, but found it stiff and’ cold. He then felt the hands and face, and saw at once that the sgpgosed sleeper was dead. Greatly startled by his discovery, he ran down Stairs and told Mr. Gardner of what he had seen. Further investigation followed, and verified the foundation of his fears. The following statement of Jesse Spalding, who was with him the whele time, covers about all that occurred d_urin% the last forty-eight hours of Mr. Chandler’s life: o ‘I went up on Thursday to Janesville,”’ said Mr. Spalding, *to hear him speak, and came down with him Friday morning. He was as well 48 usual. He spoke in a tent atJanesville, just out of town, on the prairie—spoke in the afternoon and evenin%-—and there was a cold, chilly wind all the time. I sat on the stand in the evening until I felt uncomfortably cold, and then said to him, ‘I will go down to the hotel and have a fire built in our room and wait for {ou.’ He came after the speaking was over, etween nine and ten o’clock, and sat by the fire in the parlor talking with friends about gn hour. He complained of being cold. We then went to our room, which had a fire in it, and sat there for a half to three-quarters of an hour. He said once or twice that he felt cold and chilly. I got some extra blankets for the bed. He sat by the fire until he felt warm, and then retired. :

** Wewere called at aquarter of six the next morning, SO as to enable us to get breakfast and take the seven o’clock train for Chicago. On the way down he conversed with friends and seemed as cheerful as usual, but he was rather hoarse and coughed some, and complained of a cold. General Logan was on the train. We arrived in Chica.gio at a quarter of eleven in the morning, took a carriage and drove to the Grand Pacific. 1 had telegra(i)hed for a room before leaving Janesville, and No. 3 and the adjoining parlor were rea&y with a fire and were comfortable. He remained in his room receiving friends until four o’clock. He was perfectly well, except rather stopped up by cold. ‘At four o’clock he said to me he thought he ‘would take a nap for an hour, and I said I would notify the clerks in the office not to let callers disturb him. He laid down and slept until aboutfive. He then came out of the bedroom into the parlor, sat down in a chair near the window, and said he was awakened by a pain in the chest, which he thought was the effect of indigestion, or gerhaps, smoking too much, He asked me if I smoked. I said, ‘No, I do not. I used to.” Said he, ‘Did smoking ever produce a pain or indigestion? Did you ever feel that it did?” I told him that I stopped smoking several years ago because 1 felt that it hurt my throat. He said, ‘I think I smioke too much, and that the consequence of it is the cause of the pain in my chest.” He asked me the questions evidently to see, if I smoked, whether I ever had such a feeling. He said nothing about his heart troubling him, or that he had ever had an{' trouble with it. I noticed that he looked fla e, and said, ‘Senator, don’t you feel well?’ e said, ‘Yes, I will in a minute. This pain in my chest. troubles me.” The room wasa little warm, and I said, ‘I will open the door a minute,” and I did so. A minute after that he said, ‘I feel just as well as I ever did.’ ‘**Mr. W. F. Lawrence, of Boston, then came in and asked us to dine with him at six o’clock. Mr. George Schneider had called in the forenoon, and we invited him to dine with us, and we took dinner together at two o’clock. So the Senator excised himself to Mr. Lawrence. Instead of taking a late dinner, he went to tea at half-past six or seven o’clock, and had a pitcher'of iced tea and some dry toast. When he came back to his room he seemed as well as. usual. On the way over to McCormick Hall in tge tcarriagre he referred to the pain in his chest.

~ ‘“ After the speech he returned to the hotel in the carriage and went' to his room. Mr. Sam Collyer, President of the Young Men’s Auxiliary Club, left us at the elevator. I went up to the room and remained with the Senator until half-past eleven o’clock. He coughed some and raised some phlegm, and remarked: ‘l'am fully satisfied now that I took a severe cold while sPeaking in the tent at Janesville, but I feel comfortable now.’ That was said in answer to a question as- to whether I should stay with him. I didn’t say that because of his feeling unwell, but simply to keep him com{)any.' He said, *No.. You and I were up late last night. You go home and get a good ni%ht’s rest. I have a comfortable room, and will go to bed and get a good night’s sleep.” I then told him noét to be uneasy—not to feel that he must wake up at the time he wanted to be called for the train, as I would arran{ge at the office to have him called at seven o’clock, S 0 as to take the nine o’clock express on the Michigan Central for Detroit. He asked, ‘Does the train leave at nine o’clock?’ 1 said ‘Yes.” He %op up from his chair and picked ‘up a Il)lap'er rom the table, and saw that that was the time, and said, ‘That is the train I want to go on.’ ¢ “I'then shook hands with him. and said I wished him a safe journey home, and hoped he would find hisfamily well. He said, ‘lthank You and the President of that Young Men’s Club for the attention ybu have shown me.’ He had stated Fridug afternoon that the sgeech he was to make in Chicago would complete his en-~ gagements. A few minutes after he had made the statément a boy brought in a dispatch. He opened it and read it, and handed it to me. I. read it and said, ‘I see yourfriends and neighbors in Detroit want you to make another speech.” He said, ‘Yes; and I wish you would answer that dispatch. Telegraph them that I will speak there Monday evening.” I sent the message and signed his name to it. : * After he had referred to the attention shown him, he said: ‘One more speech, that I will make Monday eveng}f to my friends and neighbors in Detroit, 1 end my laleointments for this campaign.’ I then left him. He had taken his shoes and cravat off, and turned down the cover, and, I presume, soon after went to bed. He didn’t intimate that he was alarmed at his condition, but said he felt that he %md better go to bed and get a good night’s gy ~ : An inquest was held, but a post mortem examination was not deemed necessary. The Coroner’s verdict was to the effect that death was the result of a natural cause, which, from the evidence of physicians, was found to be cerebral hemorrhage. . Due honors, civil and military, were paid to the remains in Chicago, and they were, on the 2d, conveyed by special train to Detroit, under the escort of a number of prominent citizens of both cities. The train reached Detroit atl six p.: m.,, where the . remains and escort were met at the | Michigan Central d(épot by the Light L 1 S \ Infantry, Light Guard, National Guard, Montgomery - Rifles, and" a vast concourse of citizens, and escorted to the dead Senator’s late residence on Fort street, west. o (

Curiosities of Fires, At the recent meeting of the National Association of Fire Engineers Mr. M. Bennett, Jr., related the following incidents: _ ] Of the fifty per cent of fires, more or less, not accounted for l:iy incendiary origin, many undoubtedly originate from not fyet; understood causes. New hazards, from new or old processes, are da,ilty de_velor;d, and some most curious facts in this connection have come within the range of my own personal observation. ‘ _ Some months ago, in passing a prominent fiictu,re store in the city in which I reside, on a Sunday, my attention was attracted by the actions of a b’og,“ which! seem to betoken lunacy. He

would stand with his back a§m' inst the large show. window outside for a few minutes, then turn about and carefull gaze within; then again plant his bac{ against the window. Curious to,solve w%xat seemed to be 'a case of idiocy in a bright-looking boy, I asked the cause of his strange actions. Directing’ my attention, I%iscovered that the rays of the sun through the glass' formed a focus in the middle of alarge and valuable chromo, which just commenced to smoke at this identical point, and would evidently” soon be in flanies. The boy stated that he was a eclerk in the store, but had mot his key, and discovering the state of 'things, he planted himself as a patent living fire screen to protect the picture from the sun’s: rays. g ' A well-known - Hartford adjuster, while recently sitting in his room in one of our finest business blocks, saw his silk umbrella, standing in the: corner, quietly take fire an(f consume before his very eyes, and with no little difficulty he stopped the fire from spreading. Investigation proved it to have caught from the concentrated rays of the sun reflected from his graphoscope.innocently resting on" his table. Without a doubt, we do not understand many actual eauses of ‘fire, and numerous conflagrations are due to far different causes from those suspected or guessed at. In the case mentioned, had the fire occurred during the absence of the owner, and ‘the block consumed, as it might easily have been, it would have remained one of those unsolved mysteries which surround so many fires.

Electrical Jewelry. Every one is more or less acquainted with the advances made in the use of electricity, (g)articu’larly .in the way of lighting and as a motlive power, but few would ever have suspected that. it was likely to be applied to purposes of personal adornment. Such, however, is the case, for M. Trouve has found the means of applying it in a most- ingenious manner to certain articles of jewelry. The applications of it are comparatively unlimited, but a desecription of a few artieles will suffice to give the reader an idea of this invention. Take, first of all, a breast-pin, consisting of a death’s-head, enameled, with movable eyes of diamonds or rubies, and the lower jaw articulated. -At the pleasure of the wearer, by the means to be described presently, it can be made to roll its eyes and chatter its -gumless teeth. Another pin is surmounted by a small golden drum, on which is seated on its tail 4 little rabbit holding in its fore-paws two drum-sticks, with which it beats a tattoo when the electric current is applied, A third is an ornament for a lady’s hair consisting of a bird covered all over with diamond points, which on completing the circuit, flutters its wings, and produces a curious effect. One of these was made for the Princess De Metternich.© But the curious part of the inventionis the battery by which these objects’ are put in motion. Each of them is attached to an invisible wire, easily concealed in the garments or the hair, the other end of which is connected with ‘a minute battery. . This apparatus is not bigger than a pencil-case, and can be easily carried unseen in the waistcoat pocket. It consists of a tube hermetically sealed containing in the upper half a pile composed of zinc and carbon inclosed in a case of hardened India-rubber (ebonite). The zine and the carbon only occupy the upper portion of the "tube, the lower containing the exciting liquid. So long as the txfi)e is kept in a perpendicular position the pile is not reached by the liquid, and consequently no action takes place. But the moment it is placed horizontally, the acid acts on the pile, and a circuit is established which sets the movable parts in action. Thus the wearer has only to vary the position of the tube to produce the motion or stop it at pleasure.—Galignant’s Messenger. e Telar

—-Little Billy has been taken to see his old uncle, who is so deaf that he cannot hear a single word without recourse to his ear-trumpet. ' Billy watches the movements of this instrument for some time with great interest, and then exclaims: ‘ Mamma, what does uncle try all the time to- play the horn with his ear for, when he can’t make it go?”

—When the old gentleman comes home and finds his daughters have got his slippers and the easy-chair and the evening pager ready for him, he realizes that it is the season for a fall opening of his pocketbook. o ;
