THE BLUE VASE.
By 8. BASING GOULD.
(Continued mm lnt h-v.-.)
CHAPTER TV.
A good deal of jealousy hail been ronsed in
Berlin by a trial -which had occurred not
long bef ore.'in which a poor rtndcnt who gave
loaons for his livelihood had been con
demned to death, on his own confession, for
the murder of a widow in who house he
lodged. One morning tho old woman was
discovered dead in her bed, strangled, with
a cord round her throat. Suspicion rested
on the young man, Zimmcr, because tbero
was no one else on whom suspicion could
rest; and he was taken into custody. Ac
cording to the Prussian, and, indeed, the
general German system, the accused was
subjected to secret examination, and even
to torture, to wring from him a confeasign.
In his agony on the rack, he promised, if
taken off, to admit his guilt He did bo, and,
on his confession, was condemned. The chan
celler, Cocceji, heard of the circumstances,
and ordered a fresh inquiry, especially a re
inspection of the corpse. The Berlin hang
man was shown it, when ha at once declared
that the knot tied in tho cord could only
Lave been o tied by a hangman or bis
apprentice, as it was a special knot
only used in the profession. This led to
a further investigation, and to discovery of
the real murderers, two hangman's appren
tices at Spandau, the brothers of the deceased.
Whereupon the student Zimmcr was dis
charged. When asked why ho had admitted
his guilt when he was innocent, ho frankly
aaid that the torture to which ho was sub
jected was so unendurable that any innocent
man would rather confess a murder than en
dure it.
Frederick the Great thereupon abolished
tho use of torture in criminal cases. He was
not, however, satisfied that this was the only
abuse, of the courts and the only means
whereby Justice miscarried. He was some
what bitten with tho idea of trial by jury as
carried on in England, but did not under
stand exactly tho English method. He now
sent for Aldbury and questioned him on the
subject
"See here," he said, "theso two this La
zinka and the Demoiselle Mansfeld are both
under accusation of treason. I would have
them tried by jury. How could it bo doner
"Your majesty," answered Aldbury,
"nothing is easier. Twelve men must bo
sworn in, impaneled, and after an open
trial"
"A public trial!" exclaimed tho king.
"Certain!-, your majesty."
"But we never have our trials in public. "
"No, your majesty; and, sire, excuse tho
freedom if I say that this bhocks and astounds
an Englishman. With you, tho accused is
secretly questioned, ami worried, and tor
mented" "He is no longer tortured," interrupted tho
king.
"Your majesty is right, and yet if ho
will exruse the liberty is wrong. Tho body
of the accused is no longer put on tho rack
only his mind. He is not even told what ho
is accused of. Even-thing is wrapped in
mystery, and healthy public opinion
"Healthy public opiuion fiddlesticks," in
terrupted the king. "Enough. Wo will
have this trial conducted in the English
fashion. Twelve men sworn in, one judge
and the whole m public. That would be
comicaL"
"May it pleaso your majesty to allow mo
to visit tho accused in prison?"
"Oh, yes, certainly. You shall have our
order."
Furnished with tho royal pass, ho went to
Spandau, where the young count was in
prison, and consulted him. From him ho
could learn nothing. Then he visited Sophio
in tho prison at Borlin. From her, also, ho
could gather nothing. His conviction that
neither had written the word "Tyran" was in
tensified by these visits. It was clear to him
that the trial must turn upon certain techni
calities connected with the manufacture, and
ho again visited the young count to ask him
if he would consent to his Aldbury'6 act
ing as his advocate. He was not a lawyer,
he knew nothing of law; but if there was
something to be unraveled in this mysteri
ous case, he, who was acquainted with all the
processes of porcelain manufacture, he who
was in and out of the royal factory, had
special means of observation and inquiry,
and would be far more likely to come to the
bottom of the matter than another. It was
true that he spoke broken German, but nev
ertheless be had a sound English head, and
was posseseed of sufficient English self confi
dence to assure himself he could convinco a
jury if only he found bow the mysterious in
scription had come on the vase. Tjurinka
cheerfully consented to the oiler.
CHAPTER V.
Tho day of the trial arrived. It created
great interest, both because of the titlo and
position of the principal person accused, but
also because of the novelty of the proceeding.
The court an extemporized dne, with place
at the sido f or tho jury, was crowded. Tho
king was present; he was interested with this
experiment, and desirous of seeing how trial
by jury worked. Tho Countess Lazinka was
also there, in a gallery for ladles. The court
was formally opened; the jury took tho re
quired oath, and Lazinka appeared under
conduct of two officers; and Sophie Mans
feld brought from Berlin b' the jailer.
Count Augustus Lazinka and Sophie Mans
feld both pleaded not guilty. The English
system was not followed ezactly, because
Aldbury was not clear about tho mode of
procedure, so that it was, in fact, somewhat
of a jumble. Fur instance the judge ojiened
proceedings by an address to the jury and
the announcement that if found guilty the
count would be sentenced to six years' im
prisonment in Spandau, and Sophie Mans
feld to three years' solitary confinement in
the prison for female criminals in Berlin.
He also informed the jury that
their decision must be unanimous.
The charge was then read over by
the clerk of the court Then tho counsel for
the crown rose to state tho case for the prose
cutlon. He said that the young count had
been received with favor by the king, and
bad been about his person for two or three
years, and from his majesty had received
nothing but kindness. In return, ho had, if
ftr wherewith he was accused proved true,
behaved not merely with gross f rivolity, but
with unpardonable ingratitude. lie bad in
sulted his benefactor, as well as acted treas
onably toward bis king.
On the table was the vase, covered with n
kerchief. Tho counsel unveiled this, and
pointed out tho inscription to the eternal
memory of Frederick the Great Tyrant
Tho director, Wegeli, was first called. He
appeared reluctantly and reluctantly admit
ted that, on the occasion of his most sereno
and gracious majesty's visit to tho factory,
the count had remained behind, talking
with the Demoiselle Mansfeld, and
on the return of the iarty through
the chamber, he had hoard the
accused use the word "Tyrant" but in what
connection he was unable to say.
"Yes, yes!" shouted Frederick from his
seat, "I heard him he said that we, nt least,
I think ho said we, acted the tyrant"
This interference was n little disconcerting.
His majesty was not in ttio witness box, nor
apon oath.
The counsel hurried on to the second part
of his case. Solomon Hirsch, tho sub-director,
was put in the witness box.
Counsel Do you know this vase?
Hirsch Certainly.
C. Where have you seen itf Tell tho jury
all you know about it
H. I saw it first in tho picture gallery of
the Royal Palace of Sanssouci. on the 1st in
stant, between 10 and 11 in the morning. I
cannot fix the hour more precisely, lhad
to arrange the pieces of porcelain for the ex
hibition. C Tell the jury under what circumstances
you saw it, and what happened when it was
exhibited.
H. I unpacked the vaso with the remand
placed them on shelves. When his majesty
came in, his majesty seemed specially struck
with this one vase, mid, as I saw that there
was some dust on it that is, as I saw that in
one portion it lacked its proper glaze. I took
oat my handkerchief and wiped it His most
serene and gracious majesty himself noticed
that there was a smear where was the inscrip
tioa, and handed me the vase, which I rubbed
again, whereupon I read the inscription on it,
"A l'cternelle gloire de Frederic le grand
tyran." I was so shocked that I hardly knew
what to do. I nearly let the vase fall from
say bands. But his majesty took it graciously
from me, and himself read the legend.
"Yes, yes," shouted Frederick from his
seat; ''that is all true enough. He speaks the
rath."
C That will da Stand back.
Then Aldbury rose and said: "I should
wish to ask Herr Solomon Hirsch a few
Qinstlnns but not now, later, when the other
witnesses have been beard. Will the judge
order him to remain ready to be called, not
lathehalL"
The aext witness called was WagelL
Q. Have yon read the inscription on the
rami A. I have.
O. How does it run? A. Areternellogloiro
leFrederic le grand tyran.
Q. Do you know by whom it was written?
A. I believe by Count Augustus Lazinka.
f Wha makes VOU BUT1DOSO this! A.

x was preooub "" ino .us-

some QuesuauB buuui u
nsmr tot ww nun- uo
uainu uener tnan sue wrivcs, ana complained
that she dreaded the inscription more than
all the rest of the painting. Then the count
volunteered to write it for her. He said he
wrote a good band, and that he desired to
satisfy himself that the mixture he saw on
her palette really turned to gold when
burned. Soon after, the workman who at
tends to these matters was called to remove
the vase and place it in the oven. He took
it, and conveyed it to tho proper place; at
least I presume so, for he took it out of the
painting room.
Q. Did you read the inscription on bis
vaso? Did you observe the word "tyran" on
it? A. I did not look at the vase after the
legend had been added. I did not see it till
it was removed from the factory. Then tho
word "tyran" was not on it At least, I did
not observe it If you will look, you will
see that the scroll on which the inscription
is extends some little way to the left, beforo
the words A reternelle. and properly the in
scription should have a blank space to corre
spond at the end. But it has not It un
evenly fills the scroll. There is blank before
tho words, it crowds to tho end.
Q. Would it be likely that a person unac
customed to writing on porcelain would not
properly consider the length of an inscription,
and so make it approach the border nearer at
tho end than the beginning? A. I should
say that was most likely.
This witness also was not allowed to with
draw till Aldbury bad requested to be al
lowed to cross-examine him, but he asked to
be allowed ts defer his catechism till the rest
of the witnesses for the prosecution had been
called.
The next to be summoned was the work
man who had taken the vaso from tho paint
ing room to tho kiln. After him that work
man gave his evidence who had put tho vaso
in to bo baked. Ho said that he had re
mained by the oven all tho time the biscuit
china was being baked, so as to set tho paint
ing on it
With this witness tho case for tho prosecu
tion was closed, and every one in the court
felt that it went hard with tho accused, or
at least with one of them.
The young count throughout the hearing
maintained a dignified position and expres
sion. He was pale, indeed, but ho looked
toward his mother now and then and smiled,
to let her see that he was confident that hi3
innocence would be established.
Sophie Mansfeld was also pale; she wore
a dark dress; standing with her modest eyes
lowered, and with the dew of sorrow sparkling
on the lashes, she looked remarkably pretty;
and when Aldbury asked if any evidence had
been given to justify her imprisonment, and
tho charge of treason brought against her,
"No, no!" shouted tho king. "Let her get
out of the box. I dischargoher."
This was not exactly the way in which trial
by jury was conducted in England, thought
Aldbury, but it mattered not, so long as
justice was done. He requested, as Sophie
was discharged, thatshe might remain. He
would require her evidence.
Aldbury was too imperfect in the German
languago to make much of a speech for the
defense; ho very shortly informed the jury
that he would show them that tho evidence
incriminating the young count was not com
plete enough to justify a sentence against
him. Then he called Sophio Mansfeld into
the witness box.
Q. Did you paint tho legend on the scroll?
A. I did not
Q. Who did that? A. The Count Augus
tus Lazinka.
Q. What did he write? A. "Al'eternello
glorie de Frederic le grand."
. That was all? A. That was alL
. Was there space after le grand left
vacant? A. The same as at the beginning.
At the beginning I notice a little floreation
in gold filiing the space. There is nono at
the end. How do you account for that if he
did not add the word tyran?
A. Tho count wrote the inscription, and I
did not think of tho little gold flower till too
late. Afterward I remembered that it had
been omitted, and then I ran to tho kiln
master and asked for my vase that 1 might
add the little ornament filling in the empty
space after le grand; but he told me it was
too late. The vase was already in the oven.
Q. You ore sure the count did not add tho
word tyran? A. Quite sure. I should have
seen it had he done so. Besides, ho was quite
incapable with his noble soal
Aldbury. That will do. We do not want
your opinion of the soul of the count
Sophie crimsoned and looked down.
"You may leave the box," said Aldbury.
Then he called the workman who had taken
the vase to the kiln and asked him where he
had put the vase.
A. On a square board which stood on a
tablo; there were other vases and various
articles to be burned with it
Q. You are quite sure you set it with tho
rot? A. Quite sure.
Q. What reason have you for this cer
tainty! A. Because I nearly knocked over
some small pieces in setting the vase there.
Indeed yes, I did knock over one a coffee
cup, and in setting it right put my finger in
the new paint and smeared it.
Q. Is this the coffee cup? A. Yes, anil
there is the maik where ray finger went
The vase was large, and I had to make room
for it on the board.
Q. Did you mention what you had done to
mi- one? A. Yes; I reported it to Herr
Hirsch, as was my duty.
Q. Did he say anything in reply? A. He
said he would set it to rights before It was
burned.
The next witness called was the burner.
Q. Were you at the kiln when the vase was
brought there.' A. I was not there, but I saw
it with other articles ready for burning when
I returned.
Q. Why were you absent? A. It was my
dinner hour.
Q. W hen you took the biscuit porcelain to
8
ut it in the oven, where did you find it? A.
hi the table.
Q. Not on the board? A. No. It was not
on the lioard, but on the table. The loard
was full, there was a coffee service there.
Q. You are certain it was not on the board ?
A. Quito certain. I do not think there was
mom for it on the ltoard.
Q. Was nny one by tlio oven, in the bako
house, while j-onwere at dinner. Is tho bake
house left open to any one to go into at that
time? A. Oh, no, it is under the charge of
Herr Solomon Hirsch.
Q. Did you see Herr Hirsch? A. Yes. He
had a palette and brush in his hands, and
Kiid that George Stockmayer, the last wit
ness, had smeared one of the coffeo cups, and
he had been putting the jviinting to rights
Q. But the cup has not lieen touched and
rejwired. This is it? A. I dare say. That
is one of the et I then baked. I cannot swear
to the particular cup. I do not trouble my
self to examine the iainting. I leave that to
others to Hirsch. That is outside my prov
ince. I see that tho baking Is sufficient
Q. Did you read tho inscription on the
vase? A. How could I? I cannot read.
Q. Did no ono else have access to the bake
house during dinner time but Hirsch? A. I
do not know. Hirsch was responsible. Ask
him.
Q. Did Sophie Mansfeld come to you and
ask to remove tho vase? A. Yes. About
half an hour after it was in the oven.
Q. Did she give her reason? A. Yes. She
said she had forgotten some little curls at the
end of the inscription.
Q. Did you refuse to remove tho vase? A.
Of course, I did. I could not open the oven
then it would not have dona I was respon
sible for the articles in it
Q. And when they were done what hap
pened? A. Then Herr Solomon Hirsch had
them under his charge.
The next to be called was Hirsch himself.
At Aldbury's request, he had not been al
lowed to be present during the interrogation
of the witnesses. He appeared in the box
with great confidence, ana answered readily
enough to the first queries, but soon became
confused and alarmed.
Aldbury asked, "Are you in charge of the
bakehouse?" A. Yes. I do not myself bake,
I supervise the baking.
Q. And at dinner time on the day in ques
tion, were you responsible for the oven, and
the articles that were to be put in it? A. I
was.
Q. When tho dinner hour came, the oven
was not sufficiently heated for them to be
committed to it at once? A. 1 do not re
member. I think they were put in at once?
Q. Do you recall the witness Stockmayer
telling you on the occasion in question that
be had smeared a coffee cup? A. (With hes
itation) I cannot say. Such things happen
sometimes.
Q. But on this day. and at the hour of
dinner, you were left alone in the oven house
with the porcelain that had to be baked, and
you had with you palette and paint to repair
the damage done to the coffee cup by Stock
mayer. A. That was on another day.
Q. Tho day book says whether the coffee
service was baked on that dav or another.
Will you look at the book? Is that the entry
for the day in question! Is that your signa
ture at the end? A. It is my signature, I
did not recall the fact
Q. How comes it that the smeared cup was
not put to rights? A. I suppose it was made
right
Q. Will you look at the cup, and say if ii
has been rectified? A (After some delay).
That cup is smeared. I did not know that
more than one was rubbed. Stockmayer
only told me of one, and that I put in order
before baking.
Q. Indeed. You remember the circum
stance now. You can also tell me who re
moved the vase painted by Demoiselle Mans
feld from the board on to the table? A. I
cannot tell you that
Q. We are assured that the vase was left
by Stockmayer safely on the board, and the
baker declares that ho found it on the table,
and not on the board. Consequently it must
have been removed and handled by some one
while you were in the bakehouse and respon
sible for it A. I may have moved it, when
I got the smeared cup from the board, and
did not replace it; I cannot say. I do not re
member trifles like that
Q. What color was required for the cup?
A. Gold.
Q. The same that is used for the inscrip
tion on the vase! A. I dare say. (Spoken re-
i tuctancry.;
I Aldbury said, "You may stand aside. I
will now call Herr Gerber, colorman."
When this new witness appeared in the
Iwvr Hirsch looked much disconcerted.
S. favour name Lorenz Gerber? A. It is.
. What is your trade? A. lam a color
man. Q. Do you remember Solomon Hirsch com
ing to your shop on the 20th of last month?
ATI do.
Q. Pleaso inform the jury of the particu
lars. A. Herr Sub-director Hirsch came to
me on the 20th of April and asked me if I
had some deep blue color that would match
with the blue on a piece of crockery be had
of porcelain, I mean. He said that a vain
able specimen bad been snicked, and it was
desired to rub some color over the marks
and to disguise them. Then I produced ultra
marine, but that was hardly deep enough.
We contrived by mixing some blues to ob
tain the depth of taoe ne required. I ex
plained to him that my colors would not do
for burning on porcelain, and he laughed
and said that he did not need them for that
purpose, but for covering temporarily blem
ishes on porcelain already burned.
Q. Have you any of that blue? A. Yes, I
rubbed some on paper, here it is.
"That will do,"said Aldbury. Then he
called an old woman named Frosch-hammer.
Q. What is your name? A. Margarctta
Frosch-hammer, widow.
. Your trade? A. I am a washerwoman.
. Did you, three days ago, receive from
Herr Hirsch any clothes to wash! A. Yes,
I do all his washing.
Q. Among the clothes did you receive a
handkerchief? A. Yes, I did.
8. Is this it?
no was produced, stained with blue. A.
Yes, I know it again, both by the stains, and
aLo by his initials in the corner.
The color dealer was again called and asked
if he could swear that the blue on the hand
kerchief was the same as that he had sold to
Hirsch. He swore to their identity.
That concluded tho' case for tho defense.
In a few words Aldbury pointed out tho
salient features: the fact that Hirsch had
been in charge of the vase; that he had in his
hands at the time the gold paint wherewith
the inscription was written; that immedi
ately after the burning, the vase had been
under his custody; that during this period
blue paint had been used to conceal part of
the inscription; and that he bad himself
wiped away the paint so us disclose it to tho
eyes of the monarch.
The Jury retired for two minutes, and re
turned with a verdict of "Not guilty."
Laziuka was acquitted, but now the Jew
Hirsch was ordered to be arrested.
"Halloo!" shouted the king. "Come here,
Count Augustus, and the girl, let her come
also. A great wrong has been done to both
of you, and I must undo it somehow, nuiko
some amends. Countess, you come here also.
I broke your vase, I almost broke his sword
over your son's back. You Lazinka, what
do you say, what shall I do!"
"Your majesty, I requestwill at onco order
mademoiselle into custody."
"Under custody! how so? What do you
mean!"
"Your majesty must remember that she is
possessed of secrets which must not bo di
vulged to the world."
"Quite so but I cannot help that
I have discharged her that is, tho
jury has acquitted ner no, tho judge.
That is L In fact, there is nothing against
her."
"Except, your majesty, the fact of her pos
sessing tne precious secret, and in your own
interest, sire, sue should be kept under sur
veillance." "True but-but"
"Sire!" said the count, "would you commit
her to me? I will answer for her silence.'
"Your then the king burst into a roar of
laughter, and held his sides. Ho looked at
the countess mother, who was evidently dis
concerted. " Would you commit her to mef"
"Hold!" said the king. "It shall bo'so and
what Ls more, I will ennoble the Mansfeld.
I will create her a baroness in her own right
Let me see! She shall le tho Baronne
Grand-Tyrnn, and bear on her shield, and as
the Grand-Tvrau crest the Blue Vase."

PRETENDING TO BE CRIPPLED.
A Class of Malingerers Who Seeh to Re
cover Damages from Railroads.
Of late years a new class of malingerers
has arisen. This is composed of the pco
plo who. when any accident happens to a
railway train, steamboat or other convey
ance owned by a corporation or rich person
at which they aro present as passengers,
pretend that they have been seriously
injured and forthwith bring suit against
the proprietors in immense sums for dam
ages. A smattering of medical knowledge
is very soon acquired by these people dur
ing their examinations by their physicians,
and they are thus often enabled to cut a
pretty good figure bef ore a j ury. I do not
think It ls at all difficult to detect these
impostors.
It is rarely the case that they ore so
consistent In their detail of alleged symp
toms and in then- conduct as to deceive a
medical man thoroughly well skilled in
his profession. Besides this, they goner
ally overact their part In their efforts to
deceive, and. If subjected to close scrutiny
for some considerable time, or at periods
when they do not suspect that they aro
watched, 'scarcely ever fail to show them
selves in their true colors
Not long since I was applied to by a
young man, who informed me that, about
a month previously, hi getting off a street
railway car, he had been violently thrown
to the ground, so that he had wrenched
his bock, had become partially paralyzed
in both legs, and had, besides, sustained
serious internal injuries. In addition to
wanting my professional advice bo de
sired an examination, with, a special view
of having me to testify before a court in a
suit for $20,000 damages, which he in
tended to Institute against the railway
company. I caused him to takeoff his
clothes, and I found at once that there
was no emaciation. On the contrary, his
body was remarkably well nourished. He
complained of pain in the upper region of
the spine, and screamed in apparent
agony when I slightly touched that part
of his body. It seemed to me then that
there was an unusual degree of sensitive
ness, and not at all such as would have
been developed had he been really injured
In the way he described. Tho grasp of
his hand was very weak, bat at the same
time his muscles were largo and well
formed.
I was satisfied even at the time that he
was making the most of his condition, if
not actually deceiving me, I next asked
Mm tc walk around the room until I told
him to stop. At first he tottered over tho
floor as if about to fall at every step and
complained of great pains in his legs. As
he continued walking, however, I kept
bim in conversation, so as to divert his
mind from himself. As a consequence he
was thrown off his guard, as I expected
he would be, so that after a half a dozen
turns his gait was measurably Improved,
and at times was as good as .It ever had
been. Of course, if there had been any
real paralysis, every step he took would
have added to his lameness. Some other
methods of examination with instruments
of precision placed the fact of his fraudu
lent pretensions beyond a doubt. I then
accused Mm of deception, and recapitu
lated to him the points which by his in
sufficient knowledge of the subject had
led to his detection. After numerous pro
testations he confessed that he had been
drilled by an attorney to simulate spinal
injury with a view to defrauding the rail
way company. Dr. 'William A. Hammond

Churning is a process that, almost more
than any other in batter making, depends
for beingwell done on the implement used.
Points of merit in a ehorn are: first.
The aeiUUon should ba of such a char
acter that tne crcuun is churnea by con
cussion rather than friction. One would
sunposo that the fat globule, protected
for the time being in a liquid, would stand
agitation of any sort; but when wo re
member that ono churn will bring the
batter in five minutes, which would not
come in thirty minutes in another churn,
we can conceive of it being possible to
over agitate cream in churning. What
ever may bo tho effect at the beginning of
churning, it is without question that when
cream begins to "break and butter to
"form," tho character of the agitation
may be such as to injure tho grain of the
butter. It is tho experience of butter
makers that some churns destroy the grain
and make tho butter greasy. Another
question is settled. It is not the slow
churns which injure tho grain of butter,
but tho quick churns. The slow churns
are tho churns without lnsido fixtures;
the quick churns aro the churns with
dashers.
Second. A churn should give its con
tents uniform agitation. Tho cream should
be churned all alike and tho butter corns
as near as possible at tho samo time
This is important for quantity as well as
quality of butter. When all the cream is
agitated alike, more of tho cream is
churned without somo of it being over
churned. When butter ail comes nt tho
same tlmo there is less waste of butter in
buttermilk In draining or washing. The
churn which meets this condition, is. in
tho opinion of many, a churn without
dashers.
Ease of working is a very important es
sential In a churn. It was tho hard work
of churning that brought into favor the
quick churns that have spoiled so much
butter. Tho movable body churns are
doubtless tho coaler churns to work of the
two classes. Among these the revolving
churn, if rightly constructed, is easier
than tho oscillating churn, especially for
largo quantities.
Ventilation ls essential in a churn.
When cream is first subjected to agita
tion, especially if it be at all sour, it
evolves gas. This gas should bo allowed
to escape; both for sake of easy churning
and quality of butter. With tho old dash
churn tho ventllatlou was easy through
alooso and open cover. The revolving
churn, which bears off the palm in per
haps all other respects, is tho weakest of
all at this point To prevent loss of
cream it must needs be well closed up.
It is necessary, when using a revolving
churn, when not otherwise provided for,
to stop occasionally, pull out tho stopple
or plug and let the gas escape. This is
dono frequently in tho beginning of the
process. Afterward it ls not so necessary.
Some churns havo patented arrangements
for this purpoe.

tho murdered mistress of Pranzini, have
been sold at public auction at the Hotel
Drouot There was a terrible crowd, in
cluding many ladies of fashion and aristo
cratic rank. All the effects of the dead
woman were sold. Including her clothing,
and almost fabulous prices were paid
For example, a pair of blue silk corsets
brought $37. A trashy novel which sho
was reading lust beforo she was killed
brought $25; the publisher's price of it is
75 cents. Tho blue silk stockings which
she had on when she was killed were pur
chased by a Russian countess for $43. A
basin in which Pranzini was said to havo
washed tho blood from his hands after the
murder brought $15. A chiffonier, on which
are to be seen tho marks of his bloody fin
gers, brought $85. A heavy coat of
waterproof transparent varnish has been
put over tho finger marks to prevent them
from being obliterated. A pair of common
silk garters brought $5 each.
Ono lady, a rich banker's wife, paid $32
for a pink silk undcrvest, considerably
worn, and at once stripped off the half
dozen buttons and sold them for $3 apiece.
A tooth brush brought $4 and a shoe but
toner $8, though neither cost over CO
cents new A wife of a deputy wears a
brooch containing a tiny gallows nooso
mode of Pranzlnl's hair, and another lady,
a duchess, has set in a ring one of tho
handsome teeth for which tho murderer
was famous. Sho bribed the executioner
to knock it out of his jaw for her, as soon
as ho was dead. As is well known, tho
corpso of Pranzini was completely skinned,
ana the tanned hide made up into pocket
books, card cases, and other souvenirs,
which ore highly prized. Tho Argonaut.
Oscar and Ills Magazine.
I met Mr. O. Wilde not long since in
London. He stood on tho corner of Bond
street and Piccadilly delivering a series of
deep, guttural and heart felt reflections on
the mud. and particularly at a large and
lavish display of it that hod been spread
over his attire by tho wheel of a passing
hansom.
A woful change has come over the erst
while apostle of ccstheticism. Where a
waist once existed there is now a billowy,
bulging and complacent protuberance that
wots not of sunflowers and lilies, nor
yearns for sickly yellows and pallid greens.
It indicates instead a rampant, clamorous
and passion tossed yearning for beer that
has been mot by a generous hand. Mr.
Wlldo's outline would do credit to nn al
derman. His reddish hair was clipped
close and topped by a beaver hat in a
cocky sort of way, and his trousers were
rolled up in a fashion that allowed the ob
server's eye free play over a pair of sturdy
walking boots. As a matter of detail it
may be added that tho trousers (tho pet
aversion of tho former esthete's life) were
ill fitting and bagged at the knee. Mr.
Wilde's Increasing corpulence has de
stroyed the strong lines of his face, but
added an element of rubicund good na
ture. He was ruddy and comfortablo
looking.
"I supposo," he said, before we separ
ated, "that yon remember somo of the re
marks I used to make about Journalism?'
"I have a vivid recollection of a speech
von made one night at the Lotus club in
Now York, in which you denounced 'the
ink stained creatures of the press.' "
"Ah, yes. Well, I'm one of them now.
My magazine is my only aim."
He is making a success of it, too. It is
one of the few instances where a man of
violent enthusiasms becomes a money
maker. Blakely Hall in New York Sun.
Professional Artists a Terror.
Art stores and the dealers in artists'
supplies are not supported to any degree
by professional talent, as in fact no dealer
cares to cater to that class of trade. Pro
fessional artists are a terror to business
men, for they seem to have no ideas of
ways and means of transacting business,
and think it all the same whether thoy
pay in a day or a year. Then the success
ful men want you to toady to them and
submit to insolent reflections on the con
tracted ideas of all engaged in trade.
They will force their pictures on the pub
lic whether the execution is good, bad or
indifferent, and when the dealer remon
strates they torn a scornful nose and
caustically comment on the terrible lack
of art culture among the uneducated.
There aro men In the art supply busi
ness who have informed mo that their
most sincere wish was that a real profes
sional would never cross the threshold of
their stores. The artists who have bad
sense enough to forego the ambition to
become famous and turned their pencils
and brushes into commercial work have
found a reward commensurate with the
cost of early training. There are a dozen
commercial artists in St. Louis who today
claim incomes ranging from $3,000 to
$6,000. that lift them from the penury
and uncertainty of a Bohemian whose life
Is devoted to catching the public fancy.
The public Is too whimsical, and although
you may captivate It for awhile, fashion
will lead the crowds away from yester
day's favorite. Charles E. Ault In Globe
Democrat. Caring for Cats and Dogs.
The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals has a property at
Arceail Cachan, valued at 80,000 francs,
and the annual expense ls about 20,000
francs. The two branch establishments
are at Asnieres. Somo time ago I visited
the homes of the rescued, and found one
of the most interesting in the Boo Bar-
reau. nsnierea. any ouo wno wisnes'to
abandon a dog or a cat throws it over the
wall, and the animal foils upon a strong
netting that saves it from injury. Soon
as its cry ls heard a woman comes from
the house, pets and feeds tho poor creat
ure, then places it in a cushioned basket.
Every room of this three story house is
heated, and against the walls are baskets,
in which lie every kind of small animals,
young and old. beautiful and ugly.
Tho superintendent of this establish
ment also seeks the welfare of honest
-every day she comes to Paris, and if she
sees a street badly paved. Immediately a
letter Is written to tho prefect of tho
Seino; if she bears the sound of a whip,
tho coachman is implored, not commanded:
"Strike mo. but respect that poor beast.'
At tho cab stands, she looks for tho ani
mals that need sponging, and gives a few
sous to each coachman, so that he will
more quickly do his duty. When she
sees n horse too old to work, but never
thelcss compelled to obey, sho buys the
animal and sends It to Saint Denis,
where its days aro spent in comfort and
happiness. Loudon Life,
Protection Against "Tame Lightning."
Tho most peculiar invention is one that
calls to mind tho dangers as well as the
advantages of tho use of "tame lightning. "
It is a protection against shocks from what
aro called high tension currents, such as
the currents that flow from the telephone
wires in our cities. The linemen, lamp
trimmers and dynamo tenders, who handlo
these wires, do so at great risk, and some
have been killed. In view of this a Mr.
P. B. Deloney. of this city, has devised a
pair of bracelets and a pair of anklets con
nected by llcxiblo cords and arranged to
be worn by a lineman in such a way that
If ho should -close a high potential circuit
through his hands it is hoped that a con
siderable part of tho current would be
switched off his body away from his vital
ports to expend itself by passing out
through tho skin or some part of the body
removed from tho vitals. Electricians
say, however, that there is a question
whether the current will not prefer to con
tinue In the man rather than leap out
when It met these bracelets, which would
offer somewhat higher resistance than the

lieves that tho fluid would prefer the lat
ter to tho flesh. Now York Sun.
Cimm Health and Work.
There ore many persons in the world
whose only capital is health. They are
engaged in work of various kinds, and so
long as health lasts they earn a good liv
ing. Thoy must learn how to avoid ill
ness by living In tho right way. There
are others who have lived wrongly in
youth, but have found out their errors in
time to have a fairly good constitution
left. Thcso may live to a ripe old age.
healthfully, if they only toko care. There
ore still others with everything that
riches can give; theso must learn to livo
rightly, too. If they want to bo well
Plain food, exercise, etc, will enable thes6
to live long, as they are not troubled by
tho necessity of work so that they may
livo. Wealth comes not from our in
come, but from the amount we save of it;
so health comes not from tho amount wo
havo to go on with, but from tho amount
we save, by not spending it on trifles
which waste our strength und give us no
return. Dr. Allison.
a msappotnteu xoang iusn.
One of tho girls in fashionable society
in New York made up her mind to get
married the other day, and after confiding
her intention to her father, she said:
"What do you intend to do for mot" The
father was a wealthy man, and thought
he was showing a liberal spirit when ho
answered: "Well. I will givo you $100.
000 to buy a house and $25,000 to furnish
it with." "And what will you give me to
livo on?" the young lady demanded, with
a dissatisfied look on her face. "Oh, I
will allow you the Interest on another
$100.000. " replied her father. "But my
chef will cost at least $1,200 a year. How
do you think I can possibly manage with
so little?" The father looked slightly
grieved, but only said: "That must do
while I am living; you will probably have
more when I am gone." Tho young man
who was interested in hearing tho result
of this conversation between father and
daughter said when he heard it: "Ho
might at least have given her two mill
ions." Tho marriage did not take place.

first American Daguerreotyper.
Marcus A. Root, the first American da
guerreotyper, died in Philadelphia re
cently. at the age of 80. He was born iu
Granville. O.. and moved to the Quaker
City In 1835. In 1843 his attention was
called to the daguerreotype. He at onco
gavo up all other enterprises, and was
soon established as the leading daguerro
otyper in this country He had orders
from all over the world, and founded es
tnblishnients in New York. Boston, St.
Louis and Washington. The first da
guerreotype ho ever took was taken ou
silver and was a view from one of the
windows of tho Philadelphia mint. It
was on exhibition at the Centennial, and
is now in possession of The Philadelphia

Beware of the Gout.
Dr. Moris H. Henry, of this city, who
has given the subject special attention
and devoted considerable time to its
Btudy, has written a paper on "The Influ
ence of Diet in tho Development of Non
hereditary Gout," and he comes to this
conclusion: "There can be no doubt that
tho errors in diet and the tendency to
over eating. In this country, is leading to
the development of goat in a large class
of our population. It is now a mere ques
tion of time when the gouty diathesis
shall be manifested hero as fully and as
frequently as in other countries where it
has prevailed for centuries." Home Jour

Want of Sleep

trouble is alarmingly on the increase.

give temporary relief, arc likely to do
more harm than good. What is needed
is an Alterative and Blood-purifier.

the best. It corrects those disturbances

street, Boston, writes: "My daughter
was prostrated with nervous debility.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla restored her to
