A French Newspaper Office.

A Paris correspondent says in describ-
ing the Office of the Figaro: "Opening
upon the grand gallery that runs around
the Spanish patio, or rotunda, are the
rooms or halls that leads to the rooms of
the various employees. These are all fur
nished in magnificent style, with rose
wood furniture, rich carpets, tapestry,
bronze and marble statues. Some rooms
accommodate single writer, others two
or three. The principal editor, DE
Villemessant, occupies small room on
the ground floor, to the right of the prin-
cipaI entrance. There are also richly
furnished council-room, in which all
literary force meets once each month ;
bedroom, bathrooms, and breakfast and
dining-rooms-for all of the literary force
of the paper, save the editor-in-chief,
eats, sleeps, and lives in the building.
There is also one very large room whose
sides are hung with masks and glittering
foils. Each day at two o'clock all the
employees assemble in this room and re-
ceive lessons in fencing from an expert.
This is obligatory on. each one, for the
reason that each individual is expected
to hold himself in readiness to call or be
called to the field of honor at moments
notice. Any hesitation in such case
would secure the instant dismissal of the
individual involved.

Bake nice brown,

TOMATO OMELEr--Beat up six eggs,
mix two tablespoonsful of flour with a
little milk, and add pepper and salt to
taste. Peel and chop very fine four to-
matoes, stir all together, and fry in but

way, using oysters instead of tomatoes.
A NICE article, transparent and imper-
vious to grease, is obtained by soaking
good paper in an aqueous solution OF
shellac in borax. 1t resembles parchment

SECURING BALLS TO REMOVE GREASE

lowed to dry, when 1t is well rubbed with
little warm water, and afterward rinsed
or rubbed off clean.
CEMENT FOR LEATHER AND CLOTH.
An adhesive material for uniting the
parts of boots and shoes, and for the
seams of articles of clothing, may be

The Coming Girl.

She will be of some use in the world,
she will cook her own food, will earn
a living and will not die an old maid.
The coming girl will not wear the
Grecian bend, dance the German, ignore
all possibilities of knowing how to work,
will not endeavor to break the hearts OF
unsophisticated young men, will spell
correctly, understand English before she
affects French, will preside with equal
grace at the piano and the washboard,
will spin more va for the house than
the street, will not despisc her plainly
clad mother, her poor relations, or the
hand Of an honest worker, will wear a
bonnet, speak good plain English, will
darn her old stockings, will know how to
make doughnuts.
The coming girl will walk five miles a
day, If need be, to keep her cheeks in
glow; will mind her health, her physical
development, and her mother; will
adopt costume both sensible and con-
ducive to comfort and health; will not
confound hypocrisy and politeness; will
not place lying to please instead OF
frankness; will have the courage to cut
an unwelcome acquaintance will not
think that refinement is French duplicity,
that assumed hospitality where hate
dwells in the heart is better than out
spoken condemnation; will not con-
found grace of movement with silly af
fectation; will not regard the end of her
very being to have beau.

IT doesn't look well to say the least, for
Kansas church member to have to draw

The monthly average of new members

Nor long ago an entire Methodist

VERY interesting revivals have been

Useful Information.

WATER drinking between meals should
be according to thirst. 1t is mistake
to load weak stomach with water on
the theory that it is tonic. AS a habit
it is well to take tumbler, or part OF
one, of pure soft water, after dressing in
the morning.
BUNIoNs may be checked in their
early development by binding the joint
with adhesive plaster, and keeping it on
as long as any uneasiness is felt. Iodine,
twelve grains; lard or spermaceti oint-
ment, half an ounce makes a capital
ointment for bunions.
WET the spots of iron rust on muslin
or white dress goods thoroughly with
lemon Juice, and then lay in the sun to
dry. Repeat the same if the color is not
removed by one application. When dry,
rinse in clear cold water. Lemon juice
can not be used on colored goods, as it
will take out printed colors as well as
stains. 1t will remove all kinds of stains
from white goods.
A VERY pleasant perfume, and also
preventive against moths, may be made
of the following ingredients: Take OF
cloves, carraway seed, nutmeg, mace,
cinnamon, and Tonquin beans, of each
one ounce; then add as much Florentine
orris-root as will equal the other ingre-
dients put together. Grind the whole
well to powder, and then put it in little
bags, among your clothes, etc.
Now is the time of year when everv
agricultural newspaper in the country
advises its readers to put away their tools
in good order. Every one of said read
ers admits the excellence of the advice,
and perhaps one in ten follows it. This
one will find his machinery and tools in
good order in the spring, while the 9th
ers will have accumulations of rust to
get rid of before much efficient work can
be accomplished.
BUSTING articles of steel after they
have been thoroughly cleaned with un-
Stacked lime will preserve them from
rust. The coils of piano wires thus
sprinkled will keep them from rust many
years. Table-knives which are not in
constant use ought to be put in case in
which sifted quicklime is placed, about
eight inches deep. They should be
plunged to the top of the blades, but the
lime should not touch the handles.

Plants.

1t is well known that plants sleep at
night; but their hours of sleeping are q
matter of habit, and may be disturbed
artifcially, just as cock may be woke
up and made to crow ut untimely hours
by the light of a lantern. De Candolle
subjected sensitive plant to an ex-
ceedingly trying course of discipline, by
completely changing its hours; exposing
it to a bright light all night, so as to pre-
vent sleep, and putting II in dark room
during the day. The plant appeared to
be much puzzled and disturbed at first |;
It opened and closed its leaves iiregularly,
sometimes nodding in spite of the
artificial sun that shed its beams at mid
night, and sometimes waking up from the
force of habit, to find the chamber dark
in spite of the time of day. Such are
the trammels of use and wont But
after an obvious struggle the plant sub
mitted to the change, and turned day
into night without any apparent i'll
effects

1t has never been definitely settled to
the satisfaction of the public who the
Man in the Iron Mask was, but genera
tions to come will know all about Dick
Palmer, who got inside of something
worse than a Mask. His mother sent
him after brass kettle, which one of
the neighbors had borrowed, and OH the
way home the boy turned the kettle up
side down and put it on his head. An
other boy gave it blow and it shut
down over Dicks face as close as clam
in his shell; one of the ears digging into
his head behind and the other pressing
his nose. The victim jumped and
shouted and clawed at the kettle, but he
couldn't budget. A man came along
and lifted it, but Dicks nose began to
come out by the roots and he had to stop.
A crowd ran out of the corner grocery,
Dicks mother was sent for, and the boys
danced up and down and cried ooh,
gollyp without ceasing.
One boy said they would have to take
cold chiscl and drill Dick out of the
kettle, and another said they'd have to
melt the kettle of, while every one raped
on the kettle to see how solidly it was on.
Then they tried to lift it of but Dick
roared "murder p until they stopped.

grease the kettle, while the boys mother
got down on the curbstone and sobbed

wasn't their funeral, and boy with
brass kettle on his head isn't to be seen

and hollow voice kept repeating, "Pll
never do it again." Finally they had
Richard on the walk, and while one
man sat on his legs and another on his
stomach, third compressed the kettle
between his hands, and the boy crawled
out, his nose all scratched and twisted
out of shape, hole in his head, and
bump on his forehead. His mother
wildly embraced him, all the boys cried,
"Hip lap and little Richard was led
