mint Hrs. H. A. Owens Falls Down a Long Flight of Stairs and Kills Her Child. Ladies meet with many accidents in descending stairs-the result being often a broken limb or worse, but we have never heard of where a mather falls down a flight of stairs-kills her child and escape death, until our atten tion was called to an accident to Mrs. M. A. Owens, of 2115 K St., Washing ton, D. O. We use her language : ".About two months before tho time for my confinement I fell down a long flight of stairs and killed my unborn child. I know this, aa I never felt it move af terwards and could tull it was out of po sition. Upon being exam amined by two physi cians the child was ?renounced dead, 'hey decided, as my symptoms were so favorable and I was in no pain; could eat heartily, rest well and was doing finely in every way, that it was safer to let nature take its course, and left me with instructions that they be advised Fromptly of any unfavorable symptoms, had, without the knowledge of any one except my-husband, been for some weeks using "Mother's Friend" with great relief and could see no reason why 1 should not continue its use, and did so. Now came a long time of suspense and waiting for developments. To the sur prise of all I continued to do weU, and got along better than I ever did before when enciente, although every One, in cluding the physicians, feared the ter mination would be fatal. Eight week* and two days from the time I fell, natural labor came on and the child was taken away in the usual manner, and to the surprise of all, I was found in better condition than ever before at any previous confinement.. I had continued to use ' 'Mother's Friend' up to the last hour, and exper ienced so little trouble that when the time came was unaware of it, and the nurse had to make me undress quicv and get in bed. I said to myself, "thish the work of 'Mother's Friend,' and 1 am having an easy time," as on previous occasions I suffered tortures for hours before. > Everything was so easy and rapid that th? physicians had only time to get in the house. Always before I had t rou ble with my breasts, but this time I had none, as i used 'Mother's Friend' on them as directed. I had them drawn and dried'without any inconvenience. You must not forget that it was eight weeks and two days from the death of the child before confinement, and I suffered less and was stronger than ever before on such an .occasion. My physicians and friends, marveled at my escape. I know that "Mothers' Fri' nd" saved my life, and hope every expectant mother will use it. It robs the final hour of terrible suffering and leaves her stronger and makes recovery more rapid I have learned of marvelous results ?only one bottle had been used, but the sooutP^Mothers' Friend" is begun and the longer nBtfd, the better for the mother when the houVifc^ET*769, The Bradfield Replatof^sCo^, of At lauta, Ga., will mail free to auye?{^eet ant mother their little book containing valuable information and voluntary tes timonials from ladies who have used .'Mothers' Friend" with nappy results.

' In buying canned goods an eminent physician's instructions are to "reject every artiele that does not show the line of rosin around the edge of the solder of the cap, the same as is seen on the seam on the side of the can. Bejeot every can that does not have the name of the manufacturer or firm upon it, as well as the name of the company or town where manufactured. Standards have all this. When the wholesale dealer is ashamed to have his name on the goods, fight shy of Bim. Press up the bottom of the can. If decomposition is beginning, the tin will rattle the same as tho bottom of the oiler of your sewing machine will do. If the goods are sound, it will be solid, and there will be no rattle in the tin. Bejeot every tin that shows any sign of rust around the oap on the inside of the head of the can. If housekeepers are educated on these points, then the muriate of zino amal gam will become a thing of the past." Vicarious. Doctor-Countess, I should be glad if you would let me hear you cough.

Restoring Valuable Old Paintings to Their Original Freshness - ..Shrinking" a Picture-Deli cate and Difficult Work. LITTLE known but useful branch of art is the trade of the picture repairer, who renovates old paintings, mutilated pictures, and, if necessary, transfers the painting to new canvas. Though there are many men making a 6peoialty of this work in New York, there are only one or two experts to whom old masters are intrusted. There are two distinct branohesof this pecu liar business ; one consists in repair ing mutilated pictures and renovat ing those in whioh the paint has oraoked, while the other is the trans ferring of a painting from the old canvas to a new one. When a picture is nearly obliterated by the dost and dirt whioh gather on the varnish, as often happens in paint ings of any age whioh have not been carefully looked after, the simple pro cess of removing the old varnish and putting on new makes a marvelous ohange in its appearance. If the paint is cracked a more elaborate operation is necessary. The little cracks are sometimes filled np with a composi tion after the old varnish .has been re moved and then the picture is revar niehed. This is often a delicate operation on account of the difficulty in exaotly matching the different col ora. When the picture is very badly oraoked this method is. not available, for the aggregate width of a large number of orackn will sometimes amount t oh alf an inch jr more in a large painting. The operation of shrinking is then parformed. What the exaot process ia the expert who talked with a New York Tribune reporter did not oare to say, but it consists] in removing the old canvas and then, by means of material laid wet on the painting and allowed to dry, the craoks are brought together. This last process is a very difficult one and olosely resembles the transferring of paintings performed when the original oanvas has partially rotted away, an operation whioh is undoubt edly the most delicate piece of work the picture restorer is called upon to do. Years of experience are necessary to givo the requisite nicety of touch and dexterity. After the picture has bean taken oat of the frame it is set npon an easel and tissue paper pasted over its face. When it is dry the picture is tamed over and the oanvas at the back thor oughly wet. The old oanvas is then removed thread by thread until noth ing ia left but the paint still fast to thetis re paper. Any craoks are then filled iu from behind with a varnish like composition, and the new oanvas mounted and gined on to the back of the painting. When this is dry the tissue paper is moistened and gently removed from the face of the piotnre. It is then cleansed, after which the process is complete and the old oraoked painting is now restored to its original beauty, and furnished with an entirely new canvas. This process, : when carried out upon a valuable old Sgftgter. is one whioh involves an enor mousaittWlijnt of trouble, and is never done unlessal^ftSiAnJtely necessary. The xiak is too greatTfim^^re'w^ifa^Ui&?i venture to undertake it. Some of tho varnishes used hy the old painters are i extremely hard and it is almost impos- < Bible to remove them without taking ' ont colors and all. 1 A still more difficult process is the i transferring of pictures from wood to i canvas. To do this the wooden panel 1 or whatever it may be is planed away nntil the painting rests upon the mer est shell of wood. A special tool is then used until the paint outlines of the picture can be seen through the wood. Before doing this tissue paper is pasted on the front of the painting, as in the process previously described. Pumice and a wet sponge remove the last vestige of wood, and the new can vas is then mounted. The tissue paper is wetted and peeled off, after whioh the operation is complete. Unless the [ wood is badly warped or show3 signs of deoay the paint is not transferred, but the panel is straightened by me chanical me."ns. The wood is first planed to the thickness of a quarter of an inch and then slats are glued on the back, running the same way as the gram. These are crossed by lateral pieoes fitting into them, but moving freely so as to allow for shrinkage. This is known as oradling, and is also employed when a panel is broken. The pieces are oare fully joined and the piotnre is cradled. Moths ol High Degree. A piivate view of the great Neu moegen butterfly and moth collection, whioh it IB hoped to purchase for the new Brooklyn Museum, was given in the Art Building. Assembled were the leading entomologists of the oity, friends of the museum and the Brook lyn Institute, and no ne women. Mr. Neumoegen's 50,000 specimens were arranged in glass cases on the walls of the art gallery, beginuing at the left hand corner and extending clear way round. The rarest insect in the entire exhi bition was a modest ly-dressed little fellow in case 19. To either side were dozens of butterflies more brilliantly winged and gay colored, but entomol ogists who hnng about eas j 19 gazed affectionately at this one and said it was worth 81000, for all its every day, commonplace air. This was the papilio Neumoegeni, named after its owner, and caught the luoky chance in the Island of Sc.uibawa, southeast of Java. No dup'icate of this species has ever been found. Some interesting figures relative to the cost of a large collection like Mr. Neumoegen's were given by one of the entomologists Inst evening. There are trom 35,000 to 50,000 insects. Be tween 800 and 900 of these are type specimens ; that is, first captured rep resentatives of new speoies. A type is worth $5 anywhere. With the ex traordinary vah ;s of some of the rari ties from $5000 to $10,000 are invest ed in types alone. The mechanical element must not bo forgotten. The insects are stored in 400 cases, whioh. at $5 per case, would mean $2000. The cost of mounting eaoh specimen ; is approximately 5 cents. This is another big item.-Brooklyn Eagle. Buzzard Attacks a Train. A railroad man from Pensacola told a Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald re porter that a few nights since a buz zard flew against the headlight of an engine drawing the mail train. on the Pensacola and Atlantic Bailroad, be tween Bonifay and Caryville. The large bird struck the glass with such force as to smash it m, and the burner was knocked off the lamp. The oil caught fire and the buzzard was near ly roasted before it was released, which had to be done with a crowbar. / Don't Carry Coin in Thunderstorms. An incide it has occurred in Eng land which goes to show that people whose pockets are loaded with coin should not he caught in e. thunder storm. A cabman was pass ing along a footpath sha led by trees when a light ning flash stiruok him and killed him instantly. His body was OE ly slightly marked, but some parts of his olothes were ripped into large vertical rib bons, while other parts were torn to shreds. Hall' the inner uppore of each shoe was gone, the metal eyelids of the outer being burned out, acd the right shoe was blown completely off tho foot. But the most rema?kab> point about the lightning dash was the way in which its direction was influenced. In the man's right trousere pocket were fourteen shillings in silver, and in his left inside breast pocket were thirty-seven sovereigns and twenty eight half-sovereigns in a common leather jaw opening purse, with a metal rim. In the waistcoat pocket on the right was a silver match box, also a silver watch. The gold coins were found in different states of fu sion, some being welded together and others only partly fused on one side, as though they had been splashed with molten .metal. Many of both the gold and silver coins showed fusion of the milling of the edges only. The watch, which was covered with splashes of metal, had a hole of a quarter of an inch ia diameter burned through its outer case. The finding of the in quest was that the gold attracted the' lightning. The paih of the current was through the head to the gold in the inner breast pocket,. thence to the right trousers pocket, containing the silver, touohing the watch on its way. One of the jurymen expressed the opinion that had the deceased not been imme diately nuder the tree bis head would probably not have been struck first, but the gold would have received the oharge direct.-New York Times. A School-Uiri Wife. Arrayed in her sun bonnet and checked apron, with school satchel and lunch basket, the young wife of General Cassius M. Clay, the octo genarian sage of White Hall, may be seen every week day morning with the other ohildren on her way to school to the little unpretentious one room school house near her palatial home at Waco, Ky. When the General married her, last spring, she was only fifteen years old, and her parents having boen of the humblest class she had no opportunity to aoquire an education. In domes ( tic economy, however, she was an ex pert, knowing how to milk, make butter, cook and attend to the house. Since their marriage, however, the old General, who owns one of the most magnificent places in Kentucky, and lives in scholarly case with his books, pictures and papers, has been trying to wean her from her former plebeian ways and make her a congenial com panion. With this end in view he has had several governesses at White Hall the past summer, but suspecting the last one, it is said, of trying to preju dice his wife against him by telling her that she was too young and hand some for her gray-bearded partner, he dismissed her, starting his wife to the common school near by, presided over by a Miss Tudor, a very accom plished teacher. The General, it is said, is as foolish over his young wife now as when they ^^^arried, and has one of his irmed retainers to accompany ner td F ind from school. She is said to be very bright, and obeys her aged hus band with filial submission, never going away from the house without asking his leave. Her name is Dora, but in speaking of her to his friends he invariably calls ber his "peasant wife."-St. Louis Star-Sayings. Origin ol Coal. The formation of coal, aocording to Dr. Homer Greene's cosmical theory, was due to the solar orb bringing forth, millions of years ago, when it waa larger and hotter than to-day, a wonderfully luxuriant vegetation, in cluding plants of strange kinds, mosses as large as forest trees and fern9 thirty feet in height, growing up rich ly from the clayey soil and forming dense jungles in the vast marshes, the latter covering great areas of the earth's surface, these ferns, mosses and the leaves, branches and trunks of trees falling and decaying where they grew, only to render the seil more fer tile and the next growth more luxuri ant-year after year, century after century-this process of growth and deoay going on until the beds of vege table matter thus deposited became of great thickness; tho earth's body, however, still continued to shrink, in consequence of which her crust at times contracted and fell in, the land then sinking throughout vast areas, tho beds of vegetable matter going down and the water sweeping again over the great marshes, sand and mud and gravel were laid down anew over the deposits and the clayey soil from which the next rich growth would spring was spread out on the surface, this process being repeated again and again, as often, indeed, as seams of coal in any coal bed. In this way, according to Dr. Greene, the condi tions for the formation of coal were made complete, atmospheric air being entirely excluded, while the vegetable beds underwent the process of decom position, so that in some beds of coal whole trees have been found, with roots, branches, leaves and seeds com plete, and all converted into the same kind of coal as that by which they were surrounded. -San Francisoo Chronicle. New Uses lor Irish Teat. German chemists have been experi menting with Irish peat, and have se-; cured such remarkable results that a syndicate has been formed for the manufacture, on a commercial scale, of the varions products that may be obtained from Ireland's bog lands. One of these products is an antiseptic "wool" for dressing wounds. It pos sesses absorbent qualities so great that it will soak up nine times its weight of moisture. The medical department of the French army has adopted this substitute for lint, and 12,000 kilo grams of it were sent with the expedi tionary force to Madagascar.-Phila delphia Star. Fall Blooming Pear I ree. Charles W. Klein, of Flatbush, is the owner of a dwaif pear tree which has attracted considerable attention from travelers on the Lenox road. By some freak of nature the tree has mistaken the season, and, although it has borne one crop of pears this year, has bloomed again. The rain of last Sunday swelled its buds, and the sunshine completed the work of ccvering the bare limbs of the tree with blossoms. The fact that the tree is sheltered from northerly winds is thought by Mr. Klein partly to ac count for the phenomenon.-New York Herald. BUDGET OF FUN. HUMOROUS SKETCHES FROM VARIOUS SOURCES.

The light we do not walk in will soon leave us. There are no tollgates on the high way of holiness. Unless we first look up, we will not do much lifting up. The man who chases bubbles never has any time to rest. A cry is what the heart says when the lips cannot speak. The mo3t respectable sinners are the most dangerous ones. The man who is ruled by his feelings cannot walk straight. It costs moro to be proud than it does to be generous. He is the greatest man who does most for his fellowmen. A better thing than being a giant is not to be afraid of one. Try to give pleasure, and you will receive more than you give. It is folly to seek happiness while we are unwilling to be good. A lie is about the meanest thing that ever crawled out of tho pit. How it must puzzle the angels to seo a preacher looking for an easy place. The milienium would be here now if all lived up to what we demand from others. If some people would do more thinking, their tongues would get more rest. The mau who undertakes to get a living by his wits would have a more regular supply of bread if he would depend more on his muscle.-?Barn's Horn. Darin? Shoplifting. New York merchants are complain ing to the police of an organized gang of shoplifters, composed of little girls under twelve years of age. They are hard to catch. Their faces tell noth ing. They usually travel around with heavily-veiled women who go from counter to counter, hand'lng the goods, but buying nothing. At a glove counter, for instar ^e, which is a favorite place for their operations, ? thav will nlpn-and fl-rnminfl ftXPflnsjTftJ^ gloves, and then, as if by accident, tip them over on the floor. Perhaps ten pairs of gloves have fallen off the counter. Tho child goes to pick them up, returns seven or eight pairs to the counter, slides two or three pairs into the bag of the shoplifter, which hangs low down in the folds of her skirt. By the way, one of the most daring pieces of shoplifting that has been done this ?rear was by a woman detective. She had been employed by a large firm for a number of years, and was one of the most successful women in her pro fession. Last year she captured on an average seven shoplifters a day, and was the highest paid detective in any of the Sixth avenue stores. She bad robbed her employers for years, and was eventually discovered by a little cash giri-who saw her take a lace handkerchief from a counter aud slide it into her dress front. The honest little cash girl told the floor walker that a shoplifter had been along, and pointed out the detective. The floor walker for some reason no more difficult to fathom than a jilted affection, insisted on the detective be ;ng searched, and when this was done tue handkerchief was found, as the cash girl had said, and also some other articles which had been pioked up and concealed while the detective was supposed to be watching the pecula tions of others. "Set a thief to catch a thief." It is said that she was the best detective on the avenue.-New York Avertisor. A Conine Globe Trotter. "Owney," the postal clerks' famous dog, who has traveled all over the United States, sailed at 4 o'clock on a trip around the world from Tacoma, Wash. Early in July Owney came to T icoma and made a trip to Alaska. Returning he inspected a China steamer lying at the dook, and seemed much interested in it. This led to Assistant Postmaster Stockings mak ing arrangements for him to go around the world. He will go to Hong Kong on the Northern Pacific steamer Victoria as the guest of Cap tain John Panton. There Captain Panton will put him aboard a Penin sular and Oriental English mail steamer bound for London via India and Suez. Owney will thence be sent to New York and back to Tacoma. Owney is now fifteen years old. He started traveling from Albany, N. Y., many years ago. A postal clerk took a fancy to him and put about his neck a tag bearing the inscription : "Be kiod to Owney." Ever since he has been traveling with the postal clerks. He is now fat and lazy, and will probably die eventually of overfeed ing, for the clerks vie with each other in taking good care of him. About his neck and attached to a large ring which goes with him are a hundred tags bearing names of various towns he has visited. A bushel of them have been sent to Washington, the ring being unloaded every little while. Portland Oregonian. Buried Under 100 Dozen Broken Eggs. Edward N. Harrison, living at Hunter's Mill, Fairfax County, Va., was coming into the city yesterday with a load of ohickens, eggs and but ter, says tho Washington Post. In at tempting to cross the oable traoks at Twenty-ninth and M streets the rear portion of his wagon was struck by cable train No. 232, weet bound, which completely upset the vehiole. He was covered with broken eggs. He had with him 100 dozen eggs, and every one was broken. ODDS AND ENDS. The newest market novelty is thc tomato sausage. It is made in a do mestic way at Fortland; it isa delicate pinkish white and tastes of sage and ripe tomatoes. It has made quite ? hit in that city and surrounding towns. Despite the strike in the Ishpemiug and ?egauneo iron mines, it is b& lieved the shipment of Lal* e Suporioi ore this season will reach 10,000,00( tons, 1,000,000 tons in excess of th? be.-t previous record. A farmer of Albany, Oro., is exhibi ting a bunch of forty-two stalks o wheat, with 921 meshes and aboul 3,500 grains, which grew from a sin gie kernel. Another farmer, in Ceda! Rapids, Iowa, has a cucumber five fee long and still growing. San Jose, di., has shipped mon fruit during the third week of las September than in any other week oi record. The total waa 4,639,301 pound*. Of this amount 1,413,491 pounds was of canoed fruit, and 1,960, 000 pounds was of dried prunes. An odd cribbage board is made o alnminum and fashioned in tho shapi of a heart. The pegs have flower head and tho whole is scattered over witl fmall hand-painted forget-me-not?. L the center of the heart aro paintet threo cards-an ace of hearts, a fou of spades and a jack of diamonds. Luminous Paint. The most recent and, it is claimed practical method, described, for tb production of luminous paint is as fol lows : Oyster shells are cleaned wit) warm water, then put into the fire fo half an honr, nt the end of which tim* they are taken out aud allowed ti cool; when quite cold, they ar pounded to a fine state, nil gray por tions discarded, and the powder placei in a crucible, iu alternate layers, wit! flowers of sulphur. The lid is put oi and cemented with sand made into stiff paste with beer, and, when dry is baked in tho fire for the space of ai hour. When- quite cold the Iii is opened, and, as the product shonli be white, all gray parts are to be sep arated, as they aro non-luminous, i sifter is then made by taking a pot putting a piece of very fine muslii loosely aronud, tied about with Btriug, and ?fr) powder put in at th top and raked about until only th coarse powder remains. On openini the pot, a very fine powder is found an J this is to be mixed into a thi; paint with gum water, two thin appli cations being better than one thia one. This is said to be a lumiuou paint that will show luminously fa into the night, provided it is exposei to the light during the day. In the Be3t London Style.
