AROUND THE HOUSE.
To make awnings waterproof, immerse
rst in a solution of soap, and repeat the
process in a copper solution of equal
frfngth; then wash and dry.
If tho windows are washed every two
tuck' in winter find summer they will
ahvays keep bright. The best way to
ne to this is to hive a certain day set
gpsut fr sweeping and washing windows,
nl divide up the windows in the rooms
occupied, ,washing half of them caeh
n-rek alternately. If there arc outside
blinds to the house, these should be kept
thoroughly dusted. Whore such blinds
ro t losed, as they are iu summer, they
ul(t the dust rapidly and become
i fruitful cause of dirty windows. It is
n matter of congratulation that the out
fide window blind js passing out of use.
Wh' rc awnings arc used, they serve to
divide the window well as the outside
Mind did, while they allow the free jn-pev-
of air. The inside v.indow-shst-trr,
for that matter, is very little used,
mJ. with its box-case, serves chiefly to
I raw" dust to itself. While the house is
?minli;Mted it is brought into use as a
rotoetion to the window; but a stout
oarding would serve the purpose better,
would be of less expense to the house
holder, and not as complicated an ar
tangemcnt. It should be .the object of a
modern builder to do away with all
rooks and crannies where that known
enemy to public health, dust, may
lurk. In washing windows, if one ob
jects to the use of whiting because of the
infinitesimal powder it might give off
(and in the hands of a earelcsn servant
this might be a serious objection), a
tablespoonful of turpentine dissolved in
half a gallon of water will give wonder
ful results in the wajr of polishing. It
fhould be applied with a damp chamois
and polished off with a diy one.

Negligence Blots Out 7 Lives.
Philadelphia, Pa. One of the worst
accidents that his happened on the Phil
adelphia and Reading Railroad for years
occured about 9:20 o'clock on the main
line at Flat Rock Dam, three quarters of
a mile north of the West Manayunk tun
nel. . It was caused by the agent at Pen
coyd station allowing a train of empty
coal cars to leave the siding instead of
holding it until express train No. 2,
from Shamokin had passed. . The trains
came togather with fearful force and
four passengers, two train hands and a
newsboy were killed. The wreck took
fire but the Carae3i were extinguished.
The injured, about 23, were then taken
to the hospital . The tracks were blocked
and the wreckers were soon at work
clearing away the debris.

Qreat Slaughter of the Dahomeyans.
Pabis, Fbancb. Details from Porto
Novo of the first engagement with the
D&homeyens show the immense amount
of execution done by the Lebel rifle, and
account for the extraordinary slaughter
of the native as contrasted with the
slight loss to the French. Even the larg
est trees appear to have affored no pro
tection to those who sought shelter be
hind them.

TOM DIXON'S BIRDS COME HIGH.
Delmonico Would Have furnished
Them Cheaper 31 Robins at $110.
New York. Rev. Thomas Dixon.
Jr., pastor of the Lexington Avenue
Baptist Church, and who every Sunday
preaches in the Young Men's Christian
Association hall at Twenty-third street
and Fourth avenu has had an encoun
ter with the law in which he did not
fare as welj as in his recent indictment
for alleged libel. The, thrifty borough
of Statea Island has also been enriched
by $115, which the reverend gentleman
left behind much against his will.
Mr. Dixon is fond of shooting, so on
Tuesday afternoon he hied himself aw.y
to Grasmere, S. I., with his colored
v-let, a double -barreled shotgun -and h
canvas bag. When the pleasant after
noon hours had waned the canvas bag
fr.mtained thirty one robins as proof of
the revereud gentleman's unerring aim.
flic valet threw the bag over his back,
and Mr. Dixon, with his gua on his
sho Ider and a feeling of having spent
his outing in a thoronghly proper man
ner, made his way back to St. George to
take a boat for this city.
In the depot, however, stood an in
quisitive game inspector, John E. Lisk
iy name. As he is entitled, under the
law, to one half of the fines imposed upon
persons breaking the game laws, Inspect
or Lik decided to look into the bag car
ried by the clergyman's valet. There
suit was that the clerical huntsman and
his man were arraigned before Justice
Ackers. There the robins were dumped
out on the floor and counted with great
:usto by the inspector. At $5. each Mr.
Dixon was fined $115.
The clergyman expostulated, but with
out avail. The law was pointed out to
him, and although he had broken it un
kn wingly ho was none the less guilty.
As he did not have the amount of money
equired with him Justice Ackers accept
ed a blank check drawn on the Colonial
Bank of this city. Then the minister,
valet, shotgun and bag, minus the robins,
returned to the city.
QUEER LEGAL CASES.
Conviction of a Colored ."Herb Doc
tor, "Pardoned Before Sentence.
Cosway, S. C. In the court of Gen
eral Sessions just closed was the unique
case ef the State vs. Gabriel Singleton,
for practicing physic without license.
The bearer of this digtinguished name
presents a striking figure. The "Dr." is
an aged negro, tall, straight 1 pot-black
and with a crop of long snowy wool on
his bead. He weari attached to hh
waist a greasy looking bag, containing
powdered bark, roots and other mys
teries of his art, and dangling with it are
two bottles containing a dark looking
liquid. A spoon for administering the
doso hangs hard by the bottles. "Dr."
Singleton did not put in an appearance
when call d, and the trial proceeded in
his absence. One of the witnesses testi
fied that, Dr." Gabriel had "worked on
him," that about six years ago he had
suffered from "a tick bite," and the
"Dr." attended him, with the under
standing, no cure, no pay; and that ns
he didn't cuie him, he didn't pay him.
The "Dr." was convicted and sentenced
to pay a fiue of $50.
One J. W. B. King was convicte 1 at
the March term of court for retailing
without license. Before sentence it was
brought to the attention of the judge
presiding that King was th.-n serving
out a sentence imposed by the United
States Court for the same offense. His
Honor suspended sentence, and ordered
that he bo sentenced at this term of
court. King was therefore called up
and sentenced to pay a fine of $100 or
be confined in the penitentiary for 6ix
months. Immediately upon the pro
nouncing of the sentence . Mr. F. D.
B yaut. King's attorney, presented to
the court a pardon for King. Thus the
anomalous proceeding was witnessed of
a man pardoned before he was sentenced.
Attacking the Georgia Bailroad Com
mission. The United States Exprss Co. has filed
a bill in the United States Circuit Court
at Atlanta asking for an injunction to
prevent the Georgia railroad commission
from interfering with its business. The
company charges the commission with
actiDcr unconstitutionally on numerous
crrounds." It has a contract with the
Chattanooga, Rome & Columbus Rail
road for forwarding it3 express matter
with a guarantee to the road, of at least
$1,000 per month. This sun? the express
company states nas never ieen earned,
and its bu mess has been carried on at a
loss. The commission recently issued
orders reducing the company's rates 20
per cent , which the company holds will
cause it gre .t loss, and adds that it is the
purpose of the commission to harass it
with a numbered suits and prosecution.
- When the railroad commissions under
took to control joint express rates, the
United States Express Co. refused to pay
anv a' tent ion t the board's rules. The
commissioirthen brought suit in Floyd
couuty superior court for $5,000 against
the company. This suit was removed to
the United States court at Atlanta, and
is st 11 pending. To prevent it from go
ing any further the express company asks
for injunction.

begin to give rein to my hitherto re

main idea in my mind is to get into my

or because mine is superior, but there's a

your weary body in it.. Somehow it

Tripe Leather.
Leather is now made from tripe, and
a very superior quality of sole leather at
that, which has the additional recom
mendation of being cheap. The follow
ing story is told of its first introduction:
Some year or so ago a tanner employed
in a Cincinnati establishment, requested
to have his wages raised from $1.50 to
$2 a day. He quit and went to another
tannery asking for employment. He
was told that there was no vacancy, but
he persisted and said that he could teach
them how to make a new kind ot leather
that would make their fortunes. Thev
laughed, bat when he explained hor
tripe could be turned into leather, they
stopped laughing and employed him at
$5 a day. Now tripe leather is quoted
in the trade journals and brings a good
price. Picayun.

ADOPTED BY A MONKEY.
I heard a very curious story ths
ither day about a monkey which
idopted a kitten, 6ays a writer in the
Deuver Rpublicati. It happened this
wav. Mollie that was tho monkey
had a little baby monkey that wai
the prido of her heart. She U6ed to
vary him all about the house, 6how
g to visitors and exhibiting him to
the family. Perhaps she carried tho
poor little fellow around too muoh,
for when he was about two weeks old
30 took sick aud died. Poor Mollie
was crazed with grief. She mourned
md crooned over his poor cold boily,
iud vainly tried to bring him back to
ife. 'When her mistreni attempted to
rake her dead monkey to be burled
Mollie fought and0 resisted with hei
.11 night.
At last, however, they succeeded In
getting him from her, aud then she re
fused to oat. For two days she would
touch nothing, aud they f oared ' sh
would starve. On the third day gh
sat moodily watching the cat, who lay
near the fire surrounded by her sevee
kittens. They were just learning to
walk and ouo of them came near Mol
lie. Like u flash Mollie swooped dowi
aud grabbed hini, chattering with de
light. Ever friuce she has kept th
kitten with her, and neither the cat
nor any person can get him away. A'
for the kitten, he seems perfectly hap
py, aud bleeps and cats !by Mollie't
side. ' 1
THOMAS CATS VEHVIUY.
A family leaving town for the sum
mer left behind one Thomas, a bi
cat, who had a reputation throughout
the street in which he lived as a flghtei
and ratter.
PiovUiou was made for Thomas
subiislcncc during the 6urumor will
the milkman, who each morului
poured into a dish inside the area ioin

Thorna, while vicious enough t
other than intimate acquaintance!
was while at home of a social disposi
lion. Personally he missed a grea
deal the family aud the pet pug, wltl
whom he was on the best of terms.
At any rate on the family's reluri
the members were surprised whon th
servants hurried up stairs aud toll
them Tom was playing in a mot
friendly manner in the rear area wltl
an immense rat.
Everybody tiptoed down to look
Sure enough, Tom bad made a nes
friend. His love of society had over
come his natural instinct, aud he wa
drinking his breakfast while, the ra
wr.e jumping aronnd the saucer la th
iiigU unconcerned manner.
But alas f r the rat's confidence it
feline nature! For a few days al
went well betweeu the strange friends
They were often Keen together, an
were always apparently on the bes
of terms. One morning, however
Bridget coming down stairs found in
rat's headless body. Thomas' whii
kci s were stained with blood.
Either the whilom friends ba
quarrelled, or, relieved by the retun
of the family from the necessity o.
t.-tking tip with anv acquaintance h
could make. Thomas had decided t
iive up In friendship. And wit'
tat decision, probably, his normal in
ijirctshad resumed iheir sway.
The foregoing is a true story. -Sew.
