This will please the benevolent Democrats who planned to make fat time for, Eng land at the expense of this country. New boilers were put into the British cruiser Blake recently, and on the trial trip there was an explosion that killed one man and scalded five others. One expert explained that there was plenty of water in the boilers, but the plate of the combustion chamber had fallen. The next expert swore that there was no water in the boiler, the water feed being defective. The Admiralty re serves its decision. . Baron Edmund Rothschild has found ed another Jewish settlement in Pales tine. It lies In Galilee, near the road from Safed to Damascus. The village of Mutelle, with 3,000 acres of land, wa tered from the sources of the river Jor dan, was purchased from the Druses, and the colony will at first consist of fifty farm laborers. An unmarried man, when he wants to marry a wife, must choose her from the daughters of the Palestine colonies. Among the advantages claimed for paper tiles, one of the latest products of the wood pulp Industry for roofing purposes, are their light weight, exceed ing hardness, a non-conducting of heat and sound, and sufficient elasticity to 4 -.11 41,. -.A.lnMA.M TKam la also freedom from the dampness usual ly experienced In the cast! of stone. The new1 material Is pronounced su perior in quality, appearance and price, and from an insurance standpoint seems to be regarded as safe and sat isfactory. People who suppose that royalty has only lately taken to cycling are great- ; ly mistaken, In the year 1858 a cycle manufacturer living in Dover was pat ronized by the Prince of "Wales, "who inquired minutely as to the capacity and price of his velocipedes." So much overcome was the manufacturer by this mark of regal attention that "after hi3 royal highness' departure he determin ed to make a handsome carriage, with all the latest improvements and present it for the acceptance of his royal high ness." Subsequently the velocipede Is described as "a . beautiful structure, capable of going at the rate of eight miles an hour." The committee of twelve of the American Philological association has made a report on the study of Latin in schools, which contains one declaration c first rate importance. The commit tee reported against a proposed reduc tion of the time given to Latin, and then said: "It is to be clearly under stood that the association is not now concerned with the question whether every one should be required to study JUitin, but is simply laying down the proposition that those who do desire to study It should find a sufficient amount of time devoted to It to enable them to gain the best results." It goes on to show that the time is already insuffi cient as judged by reasonable tests of the results, and also considerably less than is alloted in England and Ger many. J The bleaching of linen is said to be now accomplished in France largely by the use of waterglass. Recently It was stated to the Paris Academy of Sci ences that, in order to insure the com plete bleaching of the fabric, it is cus tomary to increase the causticity of the lye and to prolong the time of boil ing with the result that the material is injured, though its color is improved. Experts declare that the production of vellowish or brownish patches on ths linen, usually attributed to impurities In the chemicals used, is due chiefly to the presence in water of calcium and magnesium salts, which are precipi tated on the fabric and act as mor dants, fixing the ye"owiBl1 co,or of the lye. But this injurious effect can be prevented by adding to the water a mixture of sodium carbonate and solu ble glass, the result being to precipi tate calcium and magnesium silicates jn flocculent form which settles ra- Idly, does not adhere to tho fabric, and becomes granular and pulverulent on boiling; thus purified, only a very small quantity of caustic alkali Is nec essary for the treatment. a svoojssnox. Some people in this cruntry have been rather ingenious In forming socle ties intended to give those belonging to them some distinction, but some people In other countries also have ideas in that line. For instance, tho very latest thing In the line of a so ciety of exclustves in Paris Is an association composed of persona who escaped from that city by balloon dur ing the siege. It Is known that sixty six balloons left the oity, carrying 169 persons, and many of these stlil sur vive. The Society of the Fleeing Aeronauts of the Paris Siege is all right. So, too, will be the societies of the Son3 and Daughters of ditto which will Of course soon be formed. The membene of these societies will Indeed have "the bulge" on the other Parisians and will be much envied by them. It Is a fine thing to belong to something that , everybody can't belong to. We have been trying to think of a new society for New Haven that will give real distinction. Why cannot the Sons and Daughters of Those Who Fled from New Haven at the Time of the British Invasion get together? There wouldn't be many of them, but those who do exist would find much in common with each other and much in uncommon with the Sons and Daughters of Those who Stayed in New Haven at the Time of the Brit ish Invasion. There is room for four more new societies of Sons and Daugh ters here, and they might be formed out of this notion. ! ; SOMli QUEEK MUDS. The Boy Orator of the Platte has a great many friends and admirers, and some of them are especially loud and conspicuous in their friendship and ad miration. The Utica Observer makes the following little list of some of those whose souls and tongues are most fired by the enthusiasm which the Boy Ora tor has aroused in them: Johann Most, the Anarchist General Coxey, the leader of the ragamuffin army. Ex Governor Waits of Colorado, of bloody bridles fame. ' Ex-Governor Pennoyer of Oregon, who refused to meet a visit ing President of the United States on the ground that the Governor of Ore gon was a bigger man officially. Jo Sibley, a millionaire, who Jumped into fame by making a scurrilous attack on President Cleveland in the House of Representatives, and who has not been elected to any office since. Ben jamin Tillman of the foul tongue, who sits In the seat of John C. Calhoun in the United States Senate. Governor Altgeld, the pardoner of Anarchists and the foe' of order. , Senator Peffer of Kansas. Eugene pebs, who led delud ed followers into the most disastrous labor conflict that this country ever saw. : , Birds of a feather are flocking to gether. How long they can keep to gether without attacking each other remains to be seen. They are queer birds. ; WliA T Til EX MEAX. ' The ; Chicago . convention favored "such legislation as will prevent for the future the demonetization of any kind of legal tender money by private contract." The New York Sun's finan cial writer, Matthew ' Marshall, says of that part of the platform: It can hardly be supposed that, they mean by this that private contracts for the payment of any particular kind of money shall be declared to be crimes and punished as such. What they probably have in mind is the taking away from such contracts the pro tection of the courts of the United States, and leaving them to be en forced either by the courts of individual States or by a sense of honor. Cer tainly, none of the older and richer States, such as New York or Massa chusetts, would paralyze the business of its citizens by depriving contracts for payment in gold of the protection of law, and still less by punishing the making of them as a crime. This has struck many as too mild and moderate a view to take of the meaning of those who made the Popu listic and anarchistic platform. The Buffalo Courier seems to us to hit the nail On the head In the following: Our Interpretation of this platform declara tion is different. Altgeld, Tillman and their associates Intended to make, by act of congress, all private contracts, providing for the payment of a sum of money in United States gold coin, and not in silver coin, illegal, null and void. They propose to forbid any dis crimination between the several kinds of United States legal tender money. If suoh a law, enacted by congress, is valid, any State enactment containing a contrary provision would be ineffec tual and void, and the State courts wduld be obliged to enforce the federal law. If the present United States su preme court should not be found will ing to uphold such a law as constitu tional the court, In case the Populists should have the power, might be en larged and packed. Altgeld himself might become a Supreme court Jus tice. There Is no good reason to doubt that if the makers of the Chicago platform should come into power they would go quite as far In putting It into law as they did into resolutions. They know what they mean and they have made their meaning very plajn. I'ASUIOX SOXES, A Compromise Between Favorites. Though linen occupies In this sum mer's list of fashionable fabrics the same place that mohair.did a year ago, the latter stuff Is by no" means R.m ly, and some highly attractive new dresses are composed of It. Often, too, the del icate Unon trimmings that are em ployed on grass linen gowns are put upon mohair with excellent effect. To day's picture represents such a com promise between the leading fabric of a year ago and the present favorite, the dress goods being tan mohair, and the trimming linon insertion. The bodice forms two large pleats and opens over a Unon chemisette with yoke to match. Embroidery finishes the elbow sleeves, shows on skirt and shoulders, and gives the collar. Moussellne may be used for chemisette and yoke, but Unon seems preferable. Current rules for ties to be worn with shirt waists strike many women as fin icky, but it Is easy to observe them once they are understood and It Is wiser to do so. The black satin tie an inch wide with creased-ln ends is all right If properly tied In a flat uncreased horizontal bow. It's very bad taste to wear a tie with machine stitched ends showing conspicuously. String ties of wash silk are all right, but must be carefully chosen. Cream white with little black dots go with almost any shirt correctly, but they lack distinc tion. Still, distinction Is a dangerous feature about a tie, unless absolutely correct taste protects It fully from be ing vulgar consplcuousness. To be conspicuous and to convey as well a conviction to the beholder that you are authorized In your choice, is to be at once stylish and distinguished. To be safely in line with the usual good taste, Is to avoid danger of vulgarity and at the same time, alas! to be In danger of being commonplace.

FATE OV A WHITE-FACED FOX, A Maine Forest Had to be Burned Before the Hen Yards Could be Protected. From the New York Sun. Clewleyville,Me.,July 10. The Fourth of July came to the poultry keepers who live along the Air Line railroad and found them without courage or ammunition to celebrate the event. The depression was not due to lack of patriotism, but came about as the nat ural result of a protracted and vindic tive huut after a whije faced fox which has lately killed and carried away more than a hundred of the best bred and highest priced hens and chickens in eastern Maine. The residents had walk ed so far, sat up so late of nights, and shot off. so many guns trying to get this particular fox that when the Fourth dawned upon them they had used up all their strength and explo sives, and were compelled to let the celebration go by default. As they skulked through the dripping woods and heard the Joy guns booming in Old Town and Bangor, the uncertain ten urea o worldly possesisons was Im pressed upon them so forcibly that sev eral barrels of hard cider that had been preserved for haying were warmed up with redhot pokers and let off to drown THE BEST NATURAL APERIENT WATER.

SEE that the Label bears the well-known Red Diamond Mark of The Apollinaris Company, Limited. the thoughts of what might have been If that bad fox had never dug her hole among the circling hen yards on the the sides of Levenseller's mountain. It was six weeks ago that Gus Ander son caught a $75 silver-gray fox in a trap back of his hen yards. After this he had.no further trouble; but his neighbors u? in Clewleyville and out toward Whiting Hill at once began to miss hens, and at last so many of them that a reward of $10 was offered to any body who would get the fox. They knew what kind of a fox It was, be cause children coming home from school had seen a silver-gray fox with a white face lurking among the bushes, and had reported the fact to the pro prietors of the hen yards. They argued that it was the mate of the one killed by Anderson, and were sure of finding her den and capturing the whole fam ily. With this. In view they got a new map of Penobscot county, and, dividing Brewer, Holden and Eddlngton into half-mile sections, a tract of land was given to every sufferer, so that the whole territory should be caret ully searched. They hunted three weeks digging out a lot of woodchucks and skunks but did not find a single fox. All this time the hens and chickens were disappearing rapidly, and the white faoed fox was seen In the edge Of the bushes ' nearly every day. One morning Billy Lambert surprised the fox and flred! At it, shooting away the whole Of its white face. He was mad enough when he saw an uncommonly large silver-gray fox get up and scam per away to the woods, and his temper knew no bounds when he picked up the famous white face and found it to be a fat Plymouth Rock cockerel , which the fox had been carrying away. When he told his story to the poultrymen thej remembered that the fox had always selected white fowl, taking great risks to set them, when he could pick up hens oi other colors running at large In the fields. They had solved the mys tery oi the 'white face, and now they must capture the fox or suffer eternal disgrace. " The first wild strawberries were turn ing pink cheeks up to the sun when Fred Lawsori,' going to a back field to repair a hay barn, dug five young foxes from a pile Of chaff that had fallen through the -seams in the barn floor. Two of these youngsters were of a common dirty red color, and looked the way all baby foxes do; but the other three had shining silver-gray coats that marked them' as the aristocracy of the vulpine race. That day he built a large box of boards and stout wire netting. .and putting his five captives insld placed it out on the lawn near the or chard. When he carried fresh milk to his pets the next morning he found that eome animal had eaten a hole In the wire netting' and carried away the three silver-grays, leaving the two common foxes still In the cage. While he was mending the hole with new wire a silver-gray fox came sneaking to ward the pen, proving to his mind that it was the mother returning for her less favored offspring. As soon as these facts were related to fox-pestered farmers they knew it was the white-faced fox that had caused the trouble, and that she and her three valuable children were In hiding close by. Powder was bought by the keg, and shot came In on the stage by the bagful. While every boy for five miles around went hurrying across lots car rying new steel traps which they set and cunningly concealed in every hole and runway where foxes would be like ly to go. Day after day gunners went through the woods looking for one fox, but Bhooting at .anything they saw moving. A flock of gray guinea fowls which Anderson had turned loose on Beech Knoll to keep the hawks away were all shot In a week by gunners who thought they were foxes, and a gray and fawn colored Jersey, calf which Tom Gilbert had brought 'all the way from New York lost a hind leg owing to the same delusive zeal. During the two weeks between the middle of June and July 1 It was unsafe for a man In a gray coat to travel on any of the roads, and persons who possessed gray heads either had their hair closely cropped or dyed in order to avoid serious acci dents. . Work of all kinds was neglected and the great shooting match was on every day. Some time late in June a gunner who used paper wadding in his muzzle loader shot a hedgehog up in the woods near the Bradley line, nd the fire on the paper catching in the underbruBh set the forest ablaze, so that a great deal of valuable' pine timber was de stroyed. The fire spread to Eddlngton and Clliton, doing more damage than all the foxes that have been on earth since the days of Samson. On the morn ing of July 4, when the clouds began to pour in over the whale's back and churn together above the meadows, houseowners were happy in the hope that rain would soon come, and when noon arrived, bringing a sharp down pour, the white-faced fox was forgot ten in tho general thanksgiving which followed the extinguished conflagra tion. Sunday afternoon two gunners who had so far recovered from the effects of the hard cider as to get out, were I walking through the lately burned dis Royal C.WHciler, M.D., Projitttr of Chemixtiy, and Dinctor qf tin Ktytl Hungarian Statu Cktmical tmtituU iMMiiry ej Ajriotlture), uiia Pat. trict. They had passed out of the pine swamps and were climbing a Bteep knoll that had lately been covered with a thicket of black spruces. Looking among the rusty, and blackened trunks they saw what they thought was a dead dog lying: at the base of a tall ledge. Turning It over they found the under side was covered with long and silky hairs of a silver-gray color. Then they kn6W the white faced fox had perished in the flames which her enemies had started and that she would vex their hen yards no more.
