the cause of
the cloggeed

of extreme
care. A Chl
cogan has de
signed this
new sink at
tachment to catch the waste products
before they fall into the trap, thus
Fakinc it easy for the material to be
removed by any ere without the aid
of a plumber. The device is composed
of a wire basket of line mesh. which
is suspended inside an enlarged sec- |
tion of outlet pipe, with means for re- ,
moving the lid and lifting out the
basket to er,nty the contents. Around
the central lid is a perforated rim. I
through which the w„t?r flows into the '
slanting gutter beiov . passing thence j
through a coarse screen into the wire
basket, where the liquid is drained of
all foreign matter. Suspended Is a wire
handle by which to remove the basket,
and the cover can be lifted by the
slicing loop at the center.
TaKf-t the Mud Off "Rapidly.
No one likes to go into the house
with mud on the sides of his shoes,
and yet no device which could be hand
ily utilized to wipe the feet has hither
to been brought forward for this pur
pose.if weexclude the mat and old-fash
ioned iron scraper, which do the work
but poorly. It is not an easy task with
the aid of both the mat and scraper
to dislodge the mud from the sides of
the soles or the uppers, and to accom
plish this special object the boot and
shoe cleaner recently patented1 by Mon
roe Powell will fill its own place on
the front doorstep. There is nothing
expensive or complicated about the
cleaner, which consists of a pair of
brushes and sufficient spring wire to
support them with their faces toward
each other and elevated at the proper
height from the step. The wire is bent
to afford a base, which is secured to

the step by double-pointed tacks, and
screws are inserted through the eyelets
at the ends of the wires and screwed
into the backs of the brushes. When
the foot is inserted between the clean
ers the wire allows them to spring
outward until the shoe will pass
through the bristles. Hy kicking the
foot through once or twice the edges
of the shoe will be wiped clean.

*"Rapid Comb Cleaner.
The invention shown below has been
designed for cleaning combs of hair,
dandruff and other matter which clogs
up the teeth after the comb is in use
a short time, the
macnine oeing es
pecially userul in
barber shops and
hairdressing par

necessary to have
them always clean.
The arrangements consists of a box
with a removable top, in which is
mounted a rotary brush of wine or
stiff bristles, with a crank at one end
by which it is revolved. In the bottom
of the box is a row of curved fingers,
which serve to remove from the bris
tles whatever the latter dislodge from
the comb, it being a small task to re
move this matter from the bottom of
’ the box at intervals as it accumlates.
Pro/. Moore and the Hail
Shooterj.
Professr Willis L. Moore, chief of
the weather bureau, appears to be
somewhat Irritated because American
horticulturists, as a result of the re
ports submitted by our consul at
Lyons, are asking why this govern
ment does not adopt the French
method of cannon-firing for the pro
tection of orchards from hail and
frost.
In a statement which he issues as a
reply to the numerous inquiries re
ceived concerning the matter. Pro
fessor Moore says the idea that the at
mosphere can be bombarded into sub
mission to man's demands in this di
rection is a popular delu ion “as re
markable as is the belief in the efie.'t
of the moon on the weather,” adding
that "the uneducated peasantry of
Europe seem to be looking for some
thing miraculous.” "They would
rather." he says, “believe in cinnon
ading as a means of protection, and
spend on It abundance of money, time
and labor, than adopt the very simp'e
expedient of mutual insurance against
losses that must inevitably occur.”
ImorO'Cernent in Currycombj-.
Here is an improvement in curry
combs which will be appreciated by
every horseman, as it will do In an

j logging of
! iroiu the
slotted to conform with the
row of teeth la the comb, with a
hinge at one end to attach it to the
side of the comb frame. The plate is
piovided at its opposite edge with a
crimp extending either part way or
clear across, which serves to lock the
plate against the back of the comb
while the latter is in use. When It i3
desired to clean the currycomb a slight
pressure of tho thumb on the locking
crimp will allow the plate to spring
clear of the teeth, and assume its nat
ural curve again, at the same time
ridding itself of the dirt and hair
which it has dislodged from the teeth.
The best feature of the improvement
is the curving of the cleaner so that
it will fly clear of the teeth without
tlie necessity of pulling it free with
the hand. The inventor says it will
be only a question of time when all
currycombs are made with the im
provement he has invented.
Shadotules* Light.
In an improved form of arc lamp for
street and other lighting purposes the
carbons are so placed as to throw no
snaaow un
ci e r n e ath
the lamp.
One of the
objections to
the arc light
her etoforo
has been the
shadow cast
by the mech
anism neees
| sary to sup
j port the low
e r carbon,
but the new
I lamp over
comes this by suspending both
carbons in an oblique position
from the top of the lamp,
as illustrated. It is understood
that the light in an arc lamp is
produced by the passage of the electric
current between the slightly separated
points of the carbons, and to main
tain these points in proper relation
the inventor has provided a clamping
mechanism actuated by the expansion
and contraction of the central rod of
the governor. The first action as the
rod expands is the clamping of the
carbon pencils to prevent further
| downward movement, and the second
is the spreading of the points until the
arc is formed between them. As soon
as the points are consumed partially
the rod is again drawn upward, allow
; ing the points of the carbons to fall
together once more, which feed is as
| sisted by the coiled springs attached
j at the upper ends of the carbons.

I in connection with a sliding rod, which
has a rack to receive the teeth, and

point at their juncture is guided across
the paper to transcribe the message.
At the right side is an ink fountain,
which is connected with the pen point

"Father of Eight-Hour “Day.**
Organized labor, particularly in New
England, is greatly interested in the
celebration of the fiftieth anniversary
of the connection of George E. Mc
Neill of Boston with the movement.
Fifty years ago
Mr. McNeill began
agitating in favor
of the eight-hour
work day. and he
has been active In
that direction ever
since. He was the
first field agent of
the Eight - Hour
league, and has
won the title of
“Father of the
Eight-Hour Day." Beginning life as a
bobbin boy in a woolen mill, he has
devoted half a century to forwarding
the cause of organized labor. He has
written several books on labor sub
jects, and in 1S86 was the labor candi
date for Mayor of Boston. In 1883 he
was chosen as arbitrator of the great
Boston Etreet ear strike, and by his in
fluence succeeded in settling it. He
was burn in Amesbury, Mass., in 1837,
and his father was a great friend of
the poet Whittier and of other anti
slavery leaders. In honor of his fiftieth
anniversary as a labor leader a grand
banquet will be given in his honor
either in New York or Boston, the date
and place not having been yet selected.
It is assured that hundreds of men
prominent in the work of organized
labor will be present to honor the
patriarch.

Another ffttv Cull.
There is a new revelation of faith
science. It comes from a Denver
prophet of occult influences. He brings
a gospel for the lazy. He has a new
plan of physical culture. He calls it
"mental gymnastics." He exercises
his subjects by telepathy, or sugges
tion. He says: "They don't have to
exercise at all—simply to think—and
by the power of my mind I can de
velop their muscles. I follow the
same plan with women as with men.”
Nothing could be more simple. Ample
physical exercise can be taken by sim
ply thinking that you are walking a
long distance or running a footrace or
turning double somersaults. All that
you have to do is to "think”—the pro
professor of mental gymnastics does
the rest. It is a big thing.

"Holy 'Rollers." 'Rivals of "Eli
jah" “Dotvie.
"Elijah" Dowie and the healing
hosts of Zion have a formidable rival
in ‘'Bishop” Eastman and the "Holy
Rollers,” who are now causing great
excitement in central New York. The
! “Holy Rollers” are
so called irom
their practice of
rolling upon the
ground in spasms
of religious ec
stasy. Often the
“sainhs” of the
church, after so ,,
rolling, become ap
parently lifeless
ami lie for hours
i n a cataleptic
state. uisnop
Eastman, the*head of the “Holy Roll
ers,” was a country teacher when, ten
years ago. he became a religious de
votee and organized the strange church
which now has several thousand
members. Their services are usually
held out of doors, and preferably on a
hill top, and are marked by much
shouting, leaping, and kissing among
the men. They practice "divine heal
ing,” and claim to have made most re
| markable cures. At almost all of their
meetings people who claim to be help,
less paralytica and bod-ridden rheu
matics are prayed over and annotated
with oil, afterwards throwing away
. their crutches and rising from their
j bods to join in the w-ild shouting and
leaping which go on all around them,
j The “Holy Rollers” have many strong
churches In the rural communities of
New York and Pennsylvania, and are
fast spreading into other states. They
have also organiezd a Canadian
j branch.

THE LIVE STOCK M4RKET.
Latest Quotations from «<rnt» Omaha
and Kansas City.
SOt’TH OMAHA.
Cattle-—After the liberal receipts of the
past few days the supply on sale seemed
rather light. The market was not what
might be called active, but still no ma
terial change was noticeable on the more
desirable grades and all such kinds wem
sold In fairly good season. Good to choice
beef steers were In fairly good demand at
just about yesterday's prices. Buyers,
however, did not take hold with as much
life as they have on some days, anil for
that reason sellers found It a little diffi
cult to dispose of the commoner grades at
what they considered steady prices. The
cow market opened a little slow, but still
the good to choice grades brought Just
about the same prices as were paid yes
terday. The grassers and the common
to medium grades were neglected and If
anything the tendency of prices was
downward on that class of stuff. Good
bulls brought steady prices, but the com
mon kinds w ere ha pi to move nt any
price, as no one seemed to want them.
Stags were not far from steady if of de
sirable quality, and veal calves sold In
yesterday's notches. Stockers and feeders
sold without material change.
Hogs—There was another heavy run of
hogs, and as advices from other points
were unfavorable to the selling interests
the market opened 5c lower than the close
yesterday, or .Yu7 Vic lower than yester
day’s general market. Sellers did not like
to cut loose nt the figures off* red and as
a result it was late before the market was
under way. The bulk of the hogs sold
at $5,824 and I5.S5, with some of the
choicer loads going from that tip to *5.924.
Sheep—The supply of shoe]) was rather
light this morning and as packers wanted
all that were on sale It did not take long
to clear the pens. There was no partic
ular change In the prices paid and tho
situation could best be described by call
ing It a good, steady market. Clipped
lambs sold from $1.25 to *1.73 and wethers
went from $1.05 to $3.73, while ewes
brought $3.10.
