Neither a piano nor an organ should
be left open at night, or habitually when
not in ose. The changes of temperature
are very hurtful to the tone of any in
strument, and especially the gathering
of dampness, which not only interferes
with the tone and quality of the strings
and reeds, but is very likely seriously to
affect the works. Pianos in particular
should be kept in as even a temperature
as possible, since they are much affected
by alternations of heat and cold, dryness
and moisture; if thus exposed they re
quire very frequent tuning, and are not
Satisfactory in action or tone. Care is
also equally desirable in regard to other
Stringed instruments?the violin family,
banjos, guitars and like. In all of these
the strings are much affected by expo
sure to dampness and great changes of
temperature. All fine instruments should
be habitually kept in cases lined with
baize or flannel.?Good Housekeeping.

Killed the Bear with a Penknife.
A big yearling bear was killed on Fri
day on Little mountain, near Parkers
burg, W. Va., by John Hall, seventeen
years old, and Mont Black, twelve years
of age. The boys were coon hunting in
the mountain when the dogs treed the
bear. They had an old single barreled
shotgun, loaded with bird shot and an
ax. They fired the load of shot into the
bear and brought the animal down.
Then the dogs attacked it, but they were
beaten off. One of the boys ran in and
struck at the bear with the ax, but did
not hit it. Young Hall then drew bis
pocketknife and went at the bear. He
was pretty badly scratched and severely
bitten on the fingers, but stuck to the
tarnte until he cut the bear's jugular

CdPlons Marrying Mistake.
At the parish church of Brierly Hill,
ou the borders of the Black country, a
carions mistake occurred a few days
ago. A bridal party by some means oc
cupied their wrong places, and the bride
was married to the best man, who was
engaged to marry Re? sister. During
Jhe ceremony the bride had som? Mea
;-that the proceedings were hardly as they
'should be, as the bridegroom stood be
hind her and the best man, and handed
the ring to the latter. On the other
hand, the best man made the necessary
responses. Happily the error was dis
covered before the register had been
signed and the ceremony was gone
through a second time, care being taken
that the right man was wedded to the
bride.?London Tit-Bits.

7>ormg a recent riot at some place be
itween Tong-Tu and Kalping, the mob
destroyed a good length of the railway
that had recently been carried through
the district.
The local mandarin, Instead of using
the forces under him to quell the riot,
sent the soldiers to assist in the evil
work. The embankments were leveled
for some distance and the rails thrown
into the river, and an attempt was made
t to destroy the bridges. Mr. Kinder, the
[ head engineer of the line, laid the state
of the case before the toatoi of Tien-Tsin,
who is the head director of the under
taking. The toatoi sent f or the man
darin.
"To please yourself and friends," said
he, "you have destroyed iihe railway
track. To please me yon will put it
back just as it was before. If in one
month from today the trains are not
ttinning as before you lose your head,
and your family and ancestors are dis
graced.
"Mr. Kinder estimates the damage
and loss by nonrunning of trains at 50,
000 taels, which sum you will have to
pay out of your own funds to the com
pany.
"For labor, all your officials, soldiers
and townsfolk will work as you direct,
receiving no money for their labor, and
all salaries are stopped until the repairs
are complete. I shall appoint a board
of punishment to return with you, with
power to torture and imprison anyone
who makes the least disturbance or
trouble. **
The mandarin begged for mercy on
the plea that, as the country was all un
der water, he could not possibly get
mud and stone wherewith to build the
embankments. The toatoi saw the
force of this plea and said he would give
Mm a chance.
fie could pull down any of his forte
that he liked in order to provide ma
terial for the'repair of the railway, and
he would give him three months after
the railway was completed to rebuild
his forts at me (the mandarin's) expense.
In less than three weeks the trains
were running again, and the mandarin
and his agents are now rebuilding the
forts.?Cor. London Truth.
Fish Swallowed His Watch.
A rather strange as well as amusing
incident happened on board the schooner
?. Clara while at sea Saturday on
her way up from Rockport They were
jweH out at sea where the water was
?.bine and clear and the wind very light,
when one of the passengers discovered
-a large fish which is known in those
waters as a linn, following close behind
the boat
Several of the boys were soon leaning
over the stern admiring the fish, when
one of them accidentally dropped his
watch overboard out of his overshirt
pocket. It was a large old fashioned
Swiss silver watch, and when it hit the
water it glanced off sideways and darted
on its voyage to the bottom of the sea,
but. the linn saw it, and as he is a fish
that bites at everything that shines, re
gardless of flavor or taste, opened his
huge mouth and swallowed the watch at
one gulp. The surprised and chagrined
young man says that the watch had just
been wound up and was good to tick
away for twenty-four hours at least.
The fish seemed to enjoy the meal, and
followed leisurely after the boat for
3ome time.?Velasco Times.
Earl Grey.
Esrl Grey's illness is regarded with
much anxiety in his native county of
Northumberland. He will enter his
ninetieth year in seven weeks' time, and
his prostration at the beginning of win
ter is seriously viewed by his friends.
Earl Grey was sitting in parliament for
Win chelsea some years before Lord Sal
isbury was born. At one time he seemed
destined for high office, but soon after
his father's (the premier) death he devel
oped a cross-bench mind, and has since
then been increasingly dismal in his
forebodings of national decay. He is
passionately fond of his home at Howiek,
close to the Northumberland coast,
where he has buried himself for many
years, occasionally reminding the world
of his existence by his long and old fash
ioned letters in The Times. His heir is
Mr. Albert Grey, some time member for
the Tyneside division of Northumber
land, and now better known as a direct
or of the South African company.?

The Grave of St. Patrick.
A tourist, who has been visiting Down
patrick, writes on the subject of the
grave of St. Patrick. He says: "What
I saw was tins?a hole such as animals
or poultry might scrape, with a few
loose stones, apparently thrown in where
the earth had been taken out, and laid
across the opening was a stone slab, evi
dently of great age and with traces of
carving upon it, broken into three frag
ments. There was nothing else." The
modern cemetery near by was neatly
kept In explanation it was said that
euch veneration was attached to the
grave by some that they could not be
prevented from taking the soil bit by

grave bas recently been brought before

Mr. Field and the Queen.
Cyrus Field is one of the few Ameri

with Queen Victoria. Mr. Field's part
in the laying of the early Atlantic cables

things usually mean, and the acquaint
ance of many years ago has been kept
np by occasional meetings and commu
nications of one kind or another.^-New

A Beautiful Rainbow.
One of the beautiful sights on last
Thanksgiving day at Bedford was a
rainbow, remarkable because of its posi
tion; it was located almost in the zenith,
with its arc turned toward the south
audits extremities reaching northwest
and northeast, respectively. There was
no appearance of rainfall anywhere
while it was visible.?Indiana Mail.
A Cricket Rowling Machine. ?
Recently a patent bowling machine
for the use of cricketers, for practicing
purposes, was exhibited in England,
where the unerring aim of the mechani
cal cricketer knocked out the middle
stump of the most expert batsman that
stood before it. The length of pitch, di
rection and movement of the ball can be
produced within wide ranges with great
facility. The aim, sighted as after the
manner of marksmen, is regulated from
a dial, and the ball, thrown from a re
volving iron hand, is capable of bowling
over or under hand with great accuracy.

Mining from a Balloon.
Think of a mining enterprise con

There are many ore producing ledges on
the precipitous sides of hills in the Rocky
mountains. These ledges are so lofty as
tobe inaccessible by ordinary methods;
therefore, Mr. S. C. Rees, an experienced
miner, proposes to reach them by means
of an anchored balloon. This will en

Bowie's Original Knife.
Ten days ago Colonel John R. Davis,
of Mississippi, who had been a resident
of the Old Men's home since a year ago
last April, received a stroke of paralysis.
This was followed in a few days by an
other, and then a third, which proved
fatal.
The deceased was a cousin of Jefferson
Davis, and during the war was the col
onel of a Mississippi regiment known as
the Tigers. Colonel Davis had in his
possession the original knife constructed
for Colonel Jim Bowie, who, though a
native Kentn^?Jty-moved to Texas and
married the daughter of ex-Governor
Veramendi The knife was said to have
been invented while Colonel Bowie was
confined to his bed in Natchez, suffering
from the effects of a wound he had re
ceived in a border fray. He was a man
of great mechanical ingenuity, and
whittled it out of white pine as a model
for s hunting knife, which he sent to
two <tafrfaera named Blackman, in the
city of Natchez, and told them to spare
no expense in making it It was made
from a large sawmill file and afterward
perfected by an Arkansas blacksmith.
Davis, who was a young man at the
time, was present the first tiire the
knife, as perfected, was used in a duel,
and, as he described the scene, the par
ties cut the underbrush down and fought
to the death. The peculiar part of the
knife was that the end was poisoned, an
operation that cost Colonel Bowie ten
dollars.?Cincinnati Enquirer.
A Tree Climbing Pig.
A curiosity has lately been shot by Mr.
Le Mortemore, who has a selection on
Tinana creek, Queensland. He says it
is a sort of tree climbing pig. For a
number of years the wild pigs have been
numerous in this locality, and his theory
is that the-original or common pig must
have amalgamated to a certain extent
with some aboriginal animal, or that the
necessities of climate, etc., have caused
the variety. The captured animal weighs
about 100 pounds, and is pretty fat, with
bristly brown fur, small black spots,
snout and ears like a pig, but the jaw is
furnished with front teeth like a rodent;
I it hes large canines and powerful back
grinders.
The fore feet are furnished with hook
like claws; the hind ones have two hook
claws on each hoof. The tail is thick
about a foot long, and highly prehensile,
and in a state of rest is usually carried
in what is known as a Flemish coil. The
animal is also furnished with a pouch,
which it only appears to use for carrying
a supply of food in while it is traveling;
to fresh pastures. The skin is saved and
will be sent to the Maryborough exhi
bition. Mr. Le Mortemore says the flesh
is excellent, and that it tastes just like
veal and ham pie. He is sure there are
plenty more about by the marks on the
trees. In drought the animal climbs
trees and hangs by its tail while it gath
ers its food by the hook claws. He in
tends capturing some live specimens and
breeding from them.?Pall Mall Budget
The Liverpool Moslem* Mobbed.
The little building in Brougham ter
race, Liverpool, in which the few Mos- j
lem worshipers thereabout gather to
gether for prayer and to listen to ser- j
toons in Arabic and English is hidden
away in a garden, and it does not seem
that its congregation has ever done any
thing to give offense, yet for more than
a month past they have been exposed to
persecution, and the ferment appears to
be increasing. On a recent Sunday, ac
cording to a ocal report, the appearance
ef the "Muezzin" in the balcony to give
the customary "Azan," or call to prayer,
was the signal for a great uproar from a
crowd of some 400 roughs, indulging in
the usual oaths and execrations and
throwing of stones and filth.
Several times, it is stated, the Muezzin
was struck. After he had retired tb?
disturbers burst into the mosque and
threw stones, one of which fell within a
few inches of where the little son of
Ahmed Quiliam Bey was kneeling in
prayer. These annoyances, it is added.
? continued during the service, and the
congregation on leaving were pelted and
struck.?London Public Opinion.

Bees Graft a Rare Apple.
Horticulturists who have seen it say
that an apple which was picked in E. B. |
George's orchard, New Franklin, Pa.,
could only have been produced by a
peculiar grafting done by the bees in
the apple blossom season.
Exactly one-half of the apple is golden
russet, like the apples that grew on the
same tree, and the other half is bright
green pippin, such a variety as grew on
trees 100 yards distant. In blossoming
time a bee must have transplanted a
part of a distant pippin blossom into the

Money Lost on Din ine; Cara.
MIt is imagined by nearly every trav
eler who pays seventy-five cents or one
dollar for a meal on a dining car that
the company is reaping a wonderful
harvest," said a traveling passenger
agent of one of the leading roads in
America, "but the figures will soon con
vince the most skeptical that the project
is a losing one to the companies, and
every one would dispense with the din
ing car service if they only could. It
is the great competition existing between
the different roads and the desire on the
part of the public for rapid transit that
forces the companies to place dining
cars on their through trains. All of the
great trunk line roads are putting on
faster and faster trains every few
months.
"As soon as one company puts on a
train that will cover the distance be
tween any two important points quicker
than the other roads can, then all the
rest of the roads set to work to reduce
the time, and inside of two or three
months some other road will announce a
train that will make the distance in fif
teen, thirty, forty-five minutes or an
hour faster than its rival. And so it
goes. If any of those fast trains should
stop twenty minutes at a station where a
dining hall is, then the trains with the
dining cars attached would reach the
point of destination all the way from
forty minutes to an hour earlier, and the
result would be that they would carry
the majority of the traveling public. It
is not cheap meals the people who travel
on railroads want e much today as rapid
transportation. Last year the Pullman
Car company served 5,000.000 meals on
their dining cars, and profits realized did
not pay 1 per cent, upon the investment.
A leading western road last year lost
$36,000 on its dining car service."?To

Gave Her Ring to Uncle Sam for Liberty.
A young lady, a gold ring and a United
States patent letter lx)x were the central
figures in a little sidewalk drama en
acted at the corner of Joyner and Chel
sea streets, Charlestown, which was
witnessed by a* large and enthusiastic
audience.
A young lady in Charlestown went to
drop a letter in one of the now patent
letter boxes, with the tilting lever, and
being evidently used to the old style of
box, where it is sometimes necessary, in
order that the letter be really dropped to
the bottom to push it through the slot
with the finger, she followed the missivo
with her hand to be sure that it was
safely deposited. Then, satisfied that
her sacred epistle was all right, she
started to withdraw her hand, when the
ring on her finger held her hand firmly,
and all her efforts to withdraw it proved
in vain.
Some suggested that she try to pull
her finger out of the ring, but the at
tempt proved unsuccessful Then a few
excited persons favored breaking the
box with an ax, when a bright police
man appeared upon the scene, and view
ing the situation, immediately went for
a file with which to file the ring off the
finger. It proved impossible to get the
file into the box, and finally after half
an hour the hand was extricated minus
the ring.?Uoston Cor. Chicago Herald.

To raise money for this object in part
the society has established courses of

Just at this season, Poultry and Fresh Meats are hard to
get?the "enterprising housekeeper is looking out for some
pleasing variety, For a dinner, say once a week, a delicious
'Ferris' Ham" will provide the want. Order a plump, round
joint, 10 to 12 pounds. Have it a little fat also, if you would
find it tender and juicy.
B. IK E ? HAM.
Let us Suggest How it Should be Handled.
With a very sharp knife, share off cleanly the hardened surface frone the face and
tort of the Ham Put it over the fire in cold water, and let it come to a moderate
boil, and keep it steadily at this point. A Ham weighing 12 pounds will need to
boil four hours. Many cooks serve Ham underdone
Remore the skin, which will readily peel off when hoiled as directed Hare ready
some dried bread or cracker, of which roll fine and sift a teacup full. Break in two
*?K*? ft?d stir wel> with one teaspoon of sugar. Uae a little water if the eggs do
not sufficiently moisten it. Spread this erealy orer the fat, and dress With pepper
and spices. Put the Ham in a pan with a wire bottom, or, if that be not at band,.
block up the bam so that the fiesh shall not rest on the pan. Hare the oven hot,
and send the Ham to the table as soon as it is browned. a carving, cut in very thin
slices.

"Slice F?rris' boneless hucnn very thin and trim. Beat np an ?-?g with three
drops of tabaco smuch. dip the bacon in the ege and roll in cracker dust. Puta
piece of nice fre.*h buiter in the frvii.g pan and when good and hot put in the bacon
and fry over moderate fire for atiout three minutes or until it is a nice golden
