EASTERN. It took a Pittsburg, Pa., jury only forty minutes to convict former Assistant City Attorney William 11. House of the charge of emlH'zzling city funds. His confession previously that he had drawn interest on the city money had much to do with the verdict. The amount embezzled Is $26,052. To save him from prison stripes Moreland's attorneys will make a proposition that if he returns the stolen money he shall be tint'd and not imprisoned. If the court agrees to this it will raise a vigorous protest from the people. Dr. (’. B. Adams, agent for the Connecticut Humane Society, has discover**! at New Haven. Conn., that the 11-year-old son of James Rudden, foreman for Kean & Unes, carriage manufacturers, has been chained to the floor in a room at his father’s house for nearly three weeks. A shackle had U-cn placed upon the boy’s leg; to this was fastened a chain, which was imide fast to a large staple in the floor. Rudden says the boy is incur rigible ami this method was taken to punish him. At Washington Park, N. J.. Sunday there were about -40,(100 excursionists from Woodbury and surrounding towns.

DRIVING JI FIRE ENGINE. Torts of the City in Which It Is Most . Difficult to Drive. The whistle on steam fire engines Is now more commonly used than formerly iu place of the bell on account of the growing din of the city’s busier streets, and the necessity for some unmistakable indication of the engine’s approach. Down town is the most difficult part of the city in which to drive a fire engine. In the crowded streets of this part of the city an engine may sometimes be brought to a standstill, but the narrower streets are not always the worst to get through. ’Ube difficulties attending driving through the street mav de-

pend much upon the character of its traffic. Nassau street, for example, is a narrow and extremely busy street, with many people constantly passing, and with many vehicles, but, difficult as it is, is is not one of the most difficult of the down-town streets to drive in, for the wheeled traffic Is mostly of comparatively light vehicles. There are not proportionately so many heavy trucks as in many other down-town streets, and it Is the heavy, lumbering truck tliat can’t haul out of the way In an Instant, which most impedes the passage of the fire engine. '1 he most difficult of all the streets to drive an engine II down town Is tho widest of all—M'est street The difficulties here arise from the tremendous

and constant traffic of heavy trucks and all sorts of vehicles to and from the ferries and the piers. Crowded and difficult as the downtown streets are by day, the situation there is very different at night. Then they are practically deserted, and the driver of the fire engine has a perfectly clear road to drive as he will, with nothing to look out for but the street cars. The area of difficult driving has. with the growth of the city, and the constant Increase of its business, gradually extended further and further up town. Engine houses that ten or fifteen years ago stood in residence districts. are now surrounded by business establishments. Then the engines went in and out of the bouse unimpeded; now they may encounter the traffic of a busy street right at the start. Speaking In a general way. the area of difficult driving may be said to have extended as far north as Thirty-fourth street, and it I* still extending northward. But while the difficulties are all the time increasing, the driver of the fire engine, and of every kind of other fire apparatus for that matter, appears to get there just the same.—New York Sun. Crimson Clover. Good juccess with crimson clover should tie secured, provided the land is thoroughly well fitted after harvest, if one peek of crimson clover be sown together with half a bushel of rye. In planting one crop immediately after another, the fact should not be lost sight of that the one removed, especially If It Is not a leguminous plant, is likely to have taken a large quantity I of the readily available plant food from the soil. This being the case, either superior fitting of the land by culture and by allowing it to weather for a week or two between the harvesting of one crop and the sowing of the next, or commercial fertilizers, should be resorted to to start the young plants of the second crop. Once well started they will take care of themselves. On the black loam the next year’s product might be mown early and made into hay, while on a clay upland the clover and rye had better be plowed under. Clover roots and stubbles should form a fair quantity of plant food for the young corn on the black loam which most likely is far richer than the upland. Country Gentleman. Electric Bell Which Hums. Many sensitive persons are startled by the abrupt, incisive sound given out by an ordinary electric bell. M. Guerre, a I’:r ' electrician, who lias been working on the idea that this characteristic of the electric bell was not irremediable, has produced a bell which gives a continuing musical sound. The note Is very soft and sweet, although penetrating. and is said to lie an exaggeration of that obtained by rubbing the edge of a glass with the finger. Instead of a bell witli a hammer and a spring interrupter, a steel bell is used, which is its own interrupter. AVhen the circuit is closed by the pressure of the button at the other end of the line, It is released from the electro-magnet, forced forward and released again for a number of times with great rapidity. The vibration set up produces the pleasing humming instead of the familiar sound so irritating to nervous people. The pitch of the note can at any time be changed. For instance, should there be sickness in a house and it is desired to reduce the carrying quality of the note, it can be lowered until it is audible only to the servants, or others whom it is intended to summon. An Unusual Occurrence. J. S. Carpmiter, living in the center of Des Moines, hexird a flock of brant approaching one stormy night in early April. He grabbed a gun and went to the roof of his house, throw his gun to his shoulder and waited for the g?eso to come along. He could not see them, but a flash of lightning disclosed their whereabouts, and he aimed his gun and fired. His judgment was accurate and one of the birds was killed. The American Field says that this is the firstHneident of the kind It ever heard of. Birds are frequently killed by moon* light. ’ A Safe Investment.
